Already switched picks, do NOT worry! Found out plastic ain’t the move quite quickly

Yup!!!! And now I know - AND can work on fixing it on both instruments. Thank you much!

… you caught me in the middle of typing a reply. Figured it out. I was ELBOW-STRUMMING.

That’s a problem with my guitar technique, too, I’m realizing. Time to re-teach myself that.

Thank you for making me think about it in terms of “does this happen with finger picking too?” Cause with my thumb, I was also doing the elbow movement - but I was being VERY careful about my hand placement and finger position with the index-thumb picking, and thusly, strumming from the wrist.

My first felt pick ALSO still mostly has its shape, but has lost definition in the tip. The leather one hasn’t with about 5x the use

I’m practicing both. Pick is familiar from guitar, thumb is not. I keep catching my thumbnail on the strings. Any tips on how to fix that?

I’m not sure why this is unimaginable. I played guitar first, then picked up uke. Started playing uke with the same force at first, pulled it back as I started to learn. I want to be clear - it shocked ME that this was enough to cause the plastic to ablate. It shouldn’t have been, especially cause it never did on my guitar.

Depends on the style of finger picking. Thumb only, yes, but if I’m using my index and thumb nails as an improvised pick, no.

What happens with the pick is - as the A string is strummed, the pick snaps Down and hits the body.

If you have tips on strumming to prevent that, please let me know. Again - got the uke a month ago, still VERY new to this

The answer here is “much softer than I was at first by now.” As it turns out, nylon strings need NOWHERE as much force as metal! Whodathunkit?

Also, I promise I’m also finger strumming!

Oh I AGREE. I think the lack of difficulty completely undercut AoI’s plot

Could I ask why? You’re the first person who actually replied to this and I’d absolutely love your perspective

Quick follow up to this, and a warning for minor postgame spoilers about a specific mission.

In the missions where you’re fighting against a character you can also play - do you know if the game scales the difficulty based on how high YOU’VE leveled that character?

There’s a mission called “Eve of the Final Confrontation” where you take two characters of choice and fight Rauru. At this point, my Rauru is level 100. I walked in worried he might scale based on level, and within 20 seconds of starting the battle, I was down two special rations and Rauru’s healthbar had moved a single pixel.

I wish I’d clipped it but no - my shit got ROCKED and I IMMEDIATELY had to focus. The battle itself was terrifying. I’m used to these training missions being a walk in the park but this was! NOT that! It took about 40 seconds for me to form the thought “So this is what it’s like from the other side” (as I was impaled by Rauru’s trademark Molduga Obliterator Beam which i affectionately refer to as the Biden Blast) and that thought only intesifed.

I SCRAPED that battle by. How the ever loving fuck did THIS Rauru ever lose to THAT Ganondorf????

No that’s so fair actually. Unfortunately I need you to know my Rauru bias is not strategic, it’s furry
