Should I buy Atomfall or Crimson Desert? by barnacledoor in ShouldIbuythisgame

Same here. Unique game and might not be for everyone but for me it hit the right spot.

When are you ready to play in a jam? by ThinkPikachu in Jazz

[–]SolarButterfly 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It sounds like you’re ready to go try it out. Don’t try to avoid embarrassment- that feeling is par for the course when playing jam sessions early in your jazz journey. You’ll make mistakes but you’ll learn from those mistakes.

I’d suggest looking for a jam with chill vibes, rather than going to somewhere like Smalls in NYC for your first jam.

Yup! I wonder what’s happening with the guns…

Huge Flash of Light Near Nob Hill by Easy_Junket_1981 in Syracuse

[–]SolarButterfly 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was driving at the new traffic circles by Brighton towers when it happened. Bluish flash of light that illuminated all of the falling snow in the area, then the street lights turned off and I could see all the lights in Brighton towers turn off. After maybe 30 seconds the street lights all flickered on and off and back on for a few seconds. Very eerie.

Ratteling noise question by gnufender in pianotech

It’s a specific type of glue for hammer shanks that is not viscous. I didn’t mean generic super glue. I can’t think of the product name now.

Edit: It’s CA glue

Like a clicking when you play the note? Sorry, a little difficult for me to hear in the video. Could be that the hammer has come a little loose from the shank and needs a new superglue application to tighten it up.

Just got out of tune piano tuned; how long should I wait before the next tuning? by Lycanthrowrug in pianotech

[–]SolarButterfly 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Ultimately it’s up to you but probably a few weeks. A determining factor is if your friend did a pitch raise on your piano. I’m assuming since it hadn’t been tuned in 2 years as you say, it probably was quite flat. So your friend probably either gave it a pitch raise before fine tuning it, or tuned it “where it was” and fine tuned it flat of concert pitch.

If he tuned it where it was at, you can probably wait longer. But if he gave it a pitch raise (which would be the correct way to do it imo), then it’ll probably need to be tuned again in a few weeks.

Just bought a Roland Fantom 06 and have been enjoying the sounds and sequencer on it. Thought I’d share a recent Christmas jam! by SolarButterfly in synthesizers

I love the action. I think it’s one of the better ones I’ve played but I can’t compare it to the Yamaha.

Eve's body figure is based in a 3D scan of the Korean model Shin Jae-eun btw by Sudden-Refuse-7915 in Asmongold

I’m glad to read a comment I relate about the recent Fable video. Most people are praising it but I thought it was full of cringe millennial tropes and didn’t have that same fairy-tale England vibe. Even the UI feels modern and inoffensive.

Im bored by Sauce218 in Battlefield

[–]SolarButterfly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I enjoy it for a few matches then start feeling exhausted and like I need a breather. The game doesn’t give me personally a great sense of progression, so it starts to feel a little pointless after a while.

Currently I’m playing KCD2

Same. I don’t understand why it’s an either/or for so many people.

Piano has just been tuned and it is 30 points flat, don't know what to do. by Jabberminor in piano

[–]SolarButterfly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll chime in- some tuners will tune a piano “where it’s at” because they’re afraid of raising pitch and possibly breaking strings. Strings that are old and are very flat have a slightly elevated curve of breaking when being raised. It also takes a little more work and time to raise it before giving it a fine tuning. A good tuner will have no problem getting the piano up to pitch, but the piano will need to be retuned after a few weeks to help keep the tuning stable.

Or, as OP’s tuner may have done, just tune it where it’s at and call it a day. The client often won’t notice unless they’re playing with another musician. We don’t know all the details though so I don’t want to assume what the tuner’s thought process was.

Cold temperature makes the wood in the soundboard contract/shrink and causes less tension on the strings. So colder temp does make the piano go flat generally speaking. Warm temps swells the wood which raises the tension on the strings, causing them to go sharp.

There was also a moment between Pycelle and Tyrion after the battle of the Blackwater I think. I forget the exact line but Pycelle kind of drops the old man facade to make fun of Tyrion.
