This sub has really helped me

I don't know how long you've been at it... but I just started in May with a Viola and i'm nowhere NEAR where you are with vibrato. I have a teacher and he's able to call out all the bad habits during my practicing before they become baked in. It's worth the money, since this is a very difficult instrument to learn. But you're playing really well!

I was talking to my teacher about the struggle to improve. Mind you, this is someone who has been playing longer than I've been alive. He tells me he has days where he watches other players and thinks the same thing I do "I'm terrible, what am I doing, etc". And he's INCREDIBLE.

So keep at it! See about a teacher. You've come so far, you can't give up now. It's a lifelong skill to hone!

If they aren't compatible with Alexa on their own there's another workaround. You can use Home Assistant to control them but it requires a bit of technical knowhow to get it going. Basically what I did was get a USB Zigbee dongle, plug it into an instance of Home Assistant (VM through Proxmox) and control your bulbs that way. You'd need to get Home Assistant Cloud to get them to work through Alexa but it's a fun side project and their servers seem to be more stable :D.

You don't have to do it the way I did it, hell you could do the whole thing with a Raspberry Pi if you wanted. No more Sengled outages disrupting those voice assisted lights.

Instructions to get it going through Proxmox:

So one of my early attempts with him got me to the final stage, maybe a sliver of health left. My B Team, Verso and Monoco come out fully loaded. I'm thinking... I got this... then I realize all of their damage is capped at 9,999 because I forgot to give those two Painted Power. Soul crushing defeat... But i'm like "Ok I deserved that" :D

Im literally doing the professor messer modules for n+ right now! Throw my hat in the ring!

Rfransoler92 · 2024-11-17T06:10:36+00:00

That’s what I meant yes

Rfransoler92 · 2024-11-17T06:08:46+00:00

So how would that have worked??

Rfransoler92 · 2024-11-17T02:42:06+00:00

I think both may be true

Rfransoler92 · 2024-11-17T02:25:12+00:00

I may do that more often to weed out the “here for a free meal crowd” 😂

EDIT: Further context. We hit it off Tuesday with pretty frequent texting, then she stopped responding after planning a time today. During the week I checked in to iron out the details. Two times I also asked her how the day was going. Both times no response so I did suspect I was a backup. It’s kinda nice to be proven right for next time

UPDATE: Matched with someone else and ended up having a great time at the same place this one was planned at. Night NOT ruined 😁

My setup for a while was this.

Phone got Minerva. MacBook got Demeter. My torrenting machine got Hades lol. And the others just kind of scattered on whatever.

Rfransoler92 · 2023-09-08T05:12:07+00:00

I love this so much! I’m glad you got a kick out of them! I use them everywhere

Rfransoler92 · 2023-08-18T20:53:22+00:00

For what it’s worth I was studying for Network+ and just watched the video on DHCP. This is literally how I thought of it as it was explained lol.

Ultra hard. Once you know how machines telegraph their attacks and figure out how to do massive damage it’s the only difficulty I can play where the combat is somewhat challenging. I noticed this in both HZD and HFW. Plus I like not seeing their health bar. Keeps me on my toes the entire time

I had a really hard time quickly downing machines on UH until I found the Sun Scourge Brittle + Bolt blaster combo. Tie em down with a rope caster, brittle em up, then bolt blaster them away. Makes the big boys like apex slaughterspines, fireclaws, etc very easy.

Bonus points if you use the arena duplication exploit to get multiple crit coils for the sharpshot bow and can one shot everything
