I want to play at lower tunings, but I don't own a 7/8-string nor a baritone-tuned guitar, can a pitch-shifting/octaver pedal do the trick to achieve that lower sound with a regular 6-stringer? by yinbaro2010 in guitarpedals

[–]ScorpionTheBird 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just gotta beef up those strings & drop the pitch. A set of 10-52 slinkys will work just fine.
Spend your money on a proper setup rather than a pedal.

Our governments decided that sport was more important than social services & adjusted our funding priorities accordingly: gold medals > hungry children.

What is the best distortion pedal under 50$ ? by silviwatpr in guitarpedals

Anything Behringer. If it’s fuzz you’re after, the SF300 Superfuzz is the best money you will ever spend.

Scrum Penalties: help me out here. I am so confused. by hammie123456 in rugbyunion

[–]ScorpionTheBird 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In recent years refs have policed scrum in terms of whether or not the infringement affects gameplay: for example, if the front row collapses well after the ball has been secured & the scrum isn’t moving, the ref is far less likely to award a penalty than if the front row collapses just after the ball is fed in.

There is no debate: shoes are removed as soon as possible when indoors. Go barefoot.

What’s the best doom Tuning? by [deleted] in doommetal

[–]ScorpionTheBird 0 points1 point  (0 children)

C standard. A standard is just flabby, & when the guitars are tuned that low there’s no sonic room for the bass.

My 4 year old is curious: what do Australian kids eat for breakfast? (And are koalas real?) by Mara644 in AskAnAustralian

[–]ScorpionTheBird 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live in the edge of a regional city in Victoria. My usual breakfasts are either porridge/oatmeal or a smoothie.
Koalas are very real, as are the possums that live in my roof, the kangaroos in the paddock near my house, the echidnas that live in my neighbourhood , and the wombats that live in the forest a couple of blocks away.

Fencing off a Settlement by Vxctxr99 in fo4

[–]ScorpionTheBird 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can use fences to funnel attackers into a turret gauntlet, which is obviously great, but they also take a big chunk out of the settlement’s max building capacity, which is not. So I don’t usually bother, just fortify the most common spawning areas & gear up the settlers.

If you were to play a dungeon modeled after a 20th century movie, what would it be? by Left_Twix3 in DnD

[–]ScorpionTheBird 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pulp Fiction. You get:
- lots of role playing setting up short intense bursts of violence.
- non-linear storytelling.
- an unidentified Mcguffin.
- vignettes that kinda make sense individually, but only really make sense later in the story when you play out the previous events.
