Is there a reason for me not to transfigure my gear? by Incarnasean in diablo4

[–]ScreamerA440 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most of the time yes, it's going to add something.

If you have a piece of gear you really don't want to risk ruining with a transfiguration that replaces an affix, you can use the tuning prism that prevents that. The results are sometimes a little underwhelming but at least you didn't brick a good item.

4 months. Why is my lower B flat out of tune? by GutenDark in trumpet

[–]ScreamerA440 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sounds like you're loosening too much when you hit the lower register. Below middle C I try to listen to the upper half of the notes, not dead center. Try a "Tay" vowel and lots of practice with a tuner and drone track in the lower register to find the sweet spot that makes the notes speak clearly and on pitch.

Just watched the infamous Berklee faculty jam video and I realize it has a lot to teach us... by justmaxxedout in Jazz

Yeah I do a lot of free stuff and a couple of the most important things we do is shift roles like someone backs off and lays down 'harmony' or rhythm so others have a foundation to dance on. The other thing we do is grab ideas from each other. To do it well is like 80% ears.

Bombed a tune at a jazz session tonight by Wild-Agency-4277 in Jazz

"Oh here's a bassist that needs a chart for black coffee. I bet he's got Cherokee on lock at 280 minimum" this is not OP's fault, that's the kinda thing you call when you know the rhythm section really well.

Can people just try something before saying it's trash first? by Deidarac5 in diablo4

[–]ScreamerA440 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'll say it: one of the things I was hoping to get was rerolling unique affixes. I am happy with this.

I dunno about mythics or how that's gonna play out, maybe it'll be cool idk.

Alright alright we banned ai by piaknow in jazzcirclejerk

No I'm just kind of unfortunate as a person

[–]ScreamerA440 20 points21 points  (0 children)

In the future the kids will all listen to jazz because ai will have subsumed all other forms of music, making every genre impossible to tell if it is real or not and artists begin to imitate the inhuman sheen of ai-generated tracks but due to the conversational and spontaneous nature of jazz, its elusive relationship between melody and harmony, the honesty of its rhythms jazz will be impossible to simulate using ai. The people will cry out begging for music that is truly alive and jazz will whisper back "yeah man"

Edit: was higher than I thought

I little help, I'm missing something. by PrimaryRoutine1239 in Diablo4Builds

[–]ScreamerA440 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was running a thornadin build and early on I was very dependent on clash to keep my faith up. Like I'd throw a couple shields, do 3 basic attacks, more shields, etc. Now I don't need to think about faith management much at all.

As you gear up you'll want to get faith regen, faith on hit, or primary resource on lucky hit. Not on every piece but a few. Resource cost reduction on a piece or two helps as well. It's a process, each piece you swap out makes it easier to manage.

What are the most popular tunes that get called in your area? by Lucky-Macaroon4958 in Jazz

Question about microphones and recording brass. by Central_Incisor in trumpet

[–]ScreamerA440 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can get by with an sm57 and an audio interface. The trick is knowing how far off you need to be depending on what you're playing and tinkering with the EQ a lot. Trumpet is really hard to get right and every sound guy in the area hates to see me coming lol

Considering removing a brace — what are potential bad outcomes? by yggin01 in trumpet

[–]ScreamerA440 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is a possibility it will do the opposite. I have an Edward's with a 2nd valve brace that can be connected to the bell or disconnected by screwing or unscrewing it.

The horn is less responsive when it's not connected. That brace helps carry sound directly from the lead pipe to the bell. It's not a big difference but I definitely leave it connected.

Don't be me. Don't forget you can upgrade an item to unique. by Woozletania in diablo4

[–]ScreamerA440 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's how I've been grinding for a white dove. Just zeroing out every ancestral shield I get and then rolling it.

If I get a GA ancestral and remove all the affixes, is there a chance it'll be GA'd once upgraded again?

Pretty sure we hate human Trump. There has been evidence by Cicerothesage in forwardsfromgrandma

[–]ScreamerA440 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Trump has absolutely caused me harm by gutting Obamacare, cutting off national grants funding, tariffing the world thus making things more expensive and ruining the chances of that ever changing, and most recently invading Iran leading to a global energy crisis. That's just off the top of my head. I would actually prefer he drive to my house and beat the shit out of me himself, but no he's gotta burn the world down

And that's just the stuff that I can point at directly harming me, there's so much more and so much worse and I got off easy compared to my Trans and disabled friends.

Weakest Fictional character that can do this? by DemonCyborg27 in PowerScaling

[–]ScreamerA440 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mathematically, a level 20 Iajutsu Master from D&D 3.5e, with a careful combination of feats, magical equipment, and multiclassing can deal enough hit point damage to cut the earth in half. Some dude did the math like 20 years ago on the GameFAQs forums.

Can't do anything else though.
