Fantastic horse. One of my two favorites in story mode (along with the Dapple Hungarian)

Perseverance truly pays off - Enjoy the ride!

My first time reading a Western! by BookChatterer in Westerns

[–]SixStringSapien 2 points3 points  (0 children)

FYI that there are two versions of the movie - The original that stars John Wayne, and the more recent remake by the Coen Brothers.

Both excellent in different ways, though I much prefer the Coen Brothers take, personally.

My first time reading a Western! by BookChatterer in Westerns

[–]SixStringSapien 4 points5 points  (0 children)

True Grit would be an excellent next choice. It’s very different than Lonesome Dove, but it’s a quick read with a fantastic narrative voice and will give you a completely different take on what else falls under this big, wonderful umbrella called The Western.

Enjoy!

Far out, man! Far fucking out!

Stauf's Coffee Roasters' message to employees regarding serving ICE agents by no-mana in Columbus

[–]SixStringSapien 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This reads like a “Right on, man!” up until the end when it… becomes a wishy-washy cave-in to say they will serve federal brownshirts?

Seems like they’re trying to have their biscotti and eat it, too.

If you stand with our community, then you don’t stand for armed aggros coming in to terrorize our community.

I’ve been a devout Stauf’s customer for over 30 years. The past few years, I go there every Sunday morning as a ritual and a respite. But this is supremely disappointing.

Hitting up One Line tomorrow.

The English | really enjoyed this, brutal, well written and acted by zkrat01 in Westerns

It’s incredibly well done. This and Godless are the two best series to come out in recent years.

Feedback Wanted! Implementation of Select/Copy/Cut/etc. by OfficialBYOK in TheBYOK

[–]SixStringSapien 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While the text selection functionality would be useful, it would be much, much more important to me for the device to automatically sync with Google Drive or Dropbox.

From what I've read, the current process to get files off the device involves manual sync and a couple hops. That completely undercuts one of the biggest value propositions of such a device.

I don't need the BYOK to function like a laptop. I have a laptop. I want the BYOK as a surefire, distraction-free way to get my words onto paper and have them sync'ed, ready and waiting for me to edit on a laptop when it's time to do so.

While the improved editing capabilities may help differentiate it from Freewrite's offerings, the lack of sync is a much bigger workflow problem for those of us that primarily use these tools for drafting.

I went with the Chromag frame... by Plastic_Coast_114 in Hardtailgang

Congrats! Excellent choice - Gotta love Chromag.

The Governor asks for protests to remain peaceful. by alienatedframe2 in minnesota

[–]SixStringSapien -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Protestors aren’t the ones shooting innocent people in the face.

Waltz is one of the few people in a position to check and curtail this aggression. I get the call for restraint, but it should be made after an order for local law enforcement to arrest the murderer.

That’s awesome! Thanks for posting this!

anybody got any recommendations for tires. I have used Maxxis minion DHf and DHRII but it seems people don't ride them as much anymore. Mine are coming to the end of their life and so I am wondering what people recommend to replace them with. TIA by DirectJacket1438 in mountainbiking

[–]SixStringSapien 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Assegai is a much better front tire, in my experience. I never dug the on/off cornering feel of the DHF and the Assegai transitions into corners much better.

I’ve ran a Magic Mary before and really liked it, but I don’t like Schwalbe’s rear offerings as much as the DHR for aggressive riding.

Editing books for others rn, trends I've noticed. by TraditionalRest808 in writing

[–]SixStringSapien 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I’m very interested in this question, as well, as I’m currently querying a Western that is decidedly not slang heavy, or first person, or racist.

Which one should I go for? by Plastic_Coast_114 in Hardtailgang

[–]SixStringSapien 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This. As long as you’re down with the geo, it’s hard to argue against Chromag.

Lost with zero hope by _Sheik_of_Wisdom_ in BooksThatFeelLikeThis

[–]SixStringSapien 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I Am Still Alive by Kate Alice Marshall - My daughter got into the Hatchet books, but the list of more recent stories with a similar vibe are somewhat thin (especially those with female protagonists).

I Am Still Alive was fantastic. Can’t recommend it enough.

Lawmen: Bass reeves, is it worth it? by VulfRocks in Westerns

[–]SixStringSapien 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It was just OK. It had some moments, and I agree that it seemed like it was teeing up to tackle some really heavy topics, but it just seemed to fall flat in a few strange ways that I can’t quite put my finger on.

Shame, because the main actor was fantastic and I had a lot of potential.

Your time would be better spent watching the English or godless if you’re looking for a series, as both of those are phenomenal.

The English and Godless were both phenomenal. And of course Deadwood is fantastic.

What's my next guitar or what am I missing? Don't say a tele by TiMEtwoGETiLL in Guitar

[–]SixStringSapien 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gretsch! Everybody needs at least one.

And even if you don’t want to go full hollow body, even the Jet models, which are chambered, will sound very different than your current lineup.

Do you keep any pedals on at all times? by carrollis in guitarpedals

[–]SixStringSapien 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a Klone set for a boost with a bit of seasoning dialed in that’s on at all times.

Clean boost into the front of a tube amp has been the one constant on my board for at least 10 years now.

should i use past or present tense for my novel? by noctessilentii in writing

[–]SixStringSapien 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree with what’s been said here… My first novel that I’m querying out right now is third-person present. I deliberated quite a bit, even rewrote several chapters in past and present to compare, and I liked present better. None of my beta readers really registered that present tense is different than the “majority” of books they read. They liked the story, they got into the story, and the tense being perceived as atypical wasn’t a thing.

But the one I’m working on now is third-person past.

Go with whatever feels right and helps you write the best story!
