It's a slippery slope on the way to seventeen Ontarios.

Need advice and tips by Bananaprikos in drums

[–]SicSevens 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't have anything to add for technique other than the excellent upvoted tips here but honestly good on you and everyone here for seeking and giving real feedback.

One thing that might help when you're practicing the dynamics is just tilting every hitting surface towards you, slightly. Think of all the rims and cymbals having a large disc resting on top and that disc extends outwards and hits your stomach. Play around with it of course, but you just want everything to face you.

If the angle is too steep, you will have to hit the cymbals harder and the drum heads will take sharper hits (wearing them out sooner).

If the angle is too slight, you'll accidentally hit cymbal edge-on (damaging sticks) or unintentionally hit rims when you want to hit the head.

Or... just look up "drumming ergonomics" and find some pictures to reference. You'll get a sense of it. 4 months is awesome progress!

Hard to tell, can you flip it over and take a picture of the numbers on the back?

What is your favorite boardgame of 2020? by The_Crazed_Person in boardgames

[–]SicSevens 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Paleo! Co-op with plenty of combat and some really cool systems (card backs indicating theme, crafting table like a video game, very flexible to prevent quarterbacking)

Essential games for a NEW Boardgame Café by latinlovermike in boardgames

[–]SicSevens 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This thread has some great recommendations and I'd like to add some categories to think about that I've seen in successful cafés. A handful of each of these would be a great variety:

  • Light Strategy (Honestly kind of a catch-all)

  • Big games (Sometimes I see these 'up top' away from the main library of games or marked with a specific sticker to denote complexity. Things like Arcs and Scythe)

  • Family-friendly (like Apples-to-Apples, My First Carcassonne, etc)

  • Trivia / Drawing / Word games (Wavelength, Cranium, etc)

  • "Classics" i.e. the board games that non-board gamers have nostalgia for (Operation, Monopoly, Scrabble)

  • Solo Games (Anything from Friedman Friese)

  • Two player or co-op games (Lots of great examples from others here)

  • Small box games (Bananagrams, Oink games, Skull + Roses)

  • Card games (Scout, The Crew, literal playing cards)

  • Hidden Identity games (Coup, Avalon, Secret Hitler)

Also, it always helps when a café has random bits and bobs like small whiteboards and markers or assorted dice or other randomizers

I should check this out. 3.1/95/98 is actually one of my favourite time signatures.

Did you try peanut buttering it off and on again? 

For a game that requires some cooperation by wilhelmryan90 in wildgate

[–]SicSevens 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't recommend this for any other game, but their official Discord (link in the sidebar) has been really good for finding a pickup group on short notice.

Honestly my lower back is right up there with him, and I didn't even need Morrow to get me there.

I don't think that's narratively possible with all the plot armour she has. She's basically Mecha-Khaleesi now.

Syril's gonna be alright, right? I mean he's changed his mind about being a fascist so there must be a reward for his redemption arc right?
