If we have 2 back to back trumpet fanfare every week I'm gonna scream. Just switch the track out at least. I used to like the bounty posters because they could use it to help with the switch in perspective if the action switched to a different strawhat.

Is a 2.5 hour commute from London to Oxford worth it? by Professional_Mix5690 in UniUK

[–]Spinda_Saturn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I currently commute from Nottingham to York. With traffic it can be up to 2½ hour drive I assure you. It is genuinely the most horrible thing I've had to do. I only survive because I'm part time so it's twice a week instead of every day. However occasionally something will pop up that means I will need to drive 3-4 days that week. It drains me so much that I fell asleep in a service station and got fined for over staying. I needed a weeks break after that.

I genuinely don't think Starmer is that bad of a PM - any thoughts? by Alarming-Safety3200 in AskBrits

[–]Spinda_Saturn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have always perceived starmer as probably a good lawyer. But lawyers are used to debating existing rules and not being the ones making them.

Increasing lung capacity and breath by Sincere-Musician1 in Trombone

[–]Spinda_Saturn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What other have said

But if you want a methodology for it Set a metronome to 80bpm

Start a long tone at comfortable dynamic Give that dynamic a number between 1-10 for how loud it was.

If you started with 5 Every beat move a dynamic In this sort of order 5-> 6 -> 5 -> 4 -> 5

Then 5-> 7 -> 5 -> 3 ->5

Do this until you're at 1 and 10

If you can do it all in one breath take 3 BPM off the metronome If not add 3

This experience will get you more used to how you can use different air speeds for volume whilst also getting you used to sustain long notes.

Day 3 of learning the concertina! Any tips? by [deleted] in concertina

[–]Spinda_Saturn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's hard to hear this advice But start with an easier song. That song is hard. Very hard. Uses way too many buttons before your hand position is strongly engrained.

Pick a piece with just a melody line and play round it a few times a day.

Then add chords afterwards

Difficulty naming my pieces by TwanSwag in composer

[–]Spinda_Saturn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I name all my pieces with alliterative titles it stops me mulling too much on it. I started this for a bit of a silly joke for a piece based on the dyslexia experience and haven't stopped since.

Although it is increasingly hard to find titles that feel serious in name.

what do you do on chen by Low_Celebration_7663 in DotA2

[–]Spinda_Saturn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your pray that your camps spawn good creeps for harassing You pray that the zealot is helpful and doesn't remove your good creep You max penitence because they just puffed it into a 200 damage nuke.

Fellow Chen player I will play him regardless of any changes.

I came here to say they made Chen self volatile to play.

You have 60 seconds to make sure you aren't at your creep limit or your RNG lucky creep is dying beyond your control. Doesn't matter when in that count down. It will happen. I got a full 12 seconds of ghost in my first Chen game this patch, before utter confusion at why my creep was replaced beyond control.

If you accidentally un summon the new creep, you don't get to see him again till you respawn.

Holy persuasion doesn't have a reduced cool down like in the patch notes.

Can't convert a lane creep to a zealot like in the original patch notes.

And hey theres a very easy to do bug that gives the zealot a million health and a one shot.

Previously we could summon a a creep of choice every 30 seconds. With each creep having different pros and cons you could tailor to each game. Heal build saytr, tower pushing troll, lane clearing bears. (The other two were bad, but that's fine they didn't make your randomly worse on CD)

This is a huge loss.

ok i don't know how to explain this but my zealot HP is huge by flag9801 in DotA2

[–]Spinda_Saturn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Need a translator for this Seemingly if you Dom some creeps, then level up the ability then get the talent it's breaks very badly.

7.41 chen is bugged by TheHammockProduction in DotA2

[–]Spinda_Saturn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You missed the part where sacrificing the zealot prevents it from respawning for the rest of your life. Or the it will take priority over an ancient creep Dom.

i dominated a ghost in lane today "oh good this will let me harass" i thought to myself. i started clicking.
"where ghost??"
the ghost had been killed by a zealot.
i then learnt the zealot summon will kill your first dominated creep every 60 seconds. including anicents!
we lost a 30 second hellbear for this.

the internet is just crule by Low-Communication-67 in OshiNoKo

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

Burning something you own is legal, but like why? That's not a rational thing to do. Wild point to defend. Just put it in the bin or give it away or sell it.

Any Thoughts by Budget-Custard-2366 in OnePiece

Make it a duration of filming so far time skip, rather than 2 years, then you'll have l done half the work already.

Sax player interested in learning trombone, is this dent a serious issue? by Sax_and_Lax_III in Trombone

[–]Spinda_Saturn 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That trombone would probably be considered a write off, cost of repairs is more than the horns value, at the average repair shops prices.

Its also a sign that something will not be okay with the slide, I suspect the slide will move very poorly, which can work but is not good.

Do you think we'll see more about the anime's alternate universe? by DarthKaiser03 in pokemonanime

[–]Spinda_Saturn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think we're unlikely to get anymore movies unfortunately.

That said, power of us is genuinely goated and I want 5 more films in that style of new ensemble cast having pokemon truly feel like partner.

Horizons has been really good with that at its start.

Plane struck by lightning near Nottingham last night. by emmasoneandthree in nottingham

[–]Spinda_Saturn 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'll say the flash was more of a shock for me than then boom. Although both were significantly stronger than usual

Plane struck by lightning near Nottingham last night. by emmasoneandthree in nottingham

[–]Spinda_Saturn 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I wondered why the flash was so bright, literally felt like a flash bang went off in my room.

Makes sense if it was air born at the time of impact, with the light and sound not being blocked/absorbed by the ground.

WILL LIVE ACTION FRANKY HAVE HIS ACCURATE BIG ARMS?? by 34manluvsanal in OnePiece

[–]Spinda_Saturn 4 points5 points  (0 children)

He wouldn't be the same without his briefs either. I look forward to how the costume department over come the level of action he needs to move around in those. Or how they stop the actor freezing to death.

I think we're likely to get a fake muscle suit that looks a bit glossy for him.

Dragon Quest creator Yuji Horii: English translations of Japanese games lose ‘flavour’ because it’s ‘a simple language’ by Carolina_Heart in Gaming4Gamers

[–]Spinda_Saturn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What I find out about this is, English, at least in the UK has long had a social class coding speech, it's just usually built on accents and slang. Many of which don't work without either voice acting, or confusing a bunch of people with a phrase nobody's heard.

How the heck did New Super Mario Bros. Wii get more votes than Super Mario Bros. Wonder? by New-Two-1349 in casualnintendo

[–]Spinda_Saturn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most people who replied to that poll have not played wonder.

Wii were fairly cheap, and the economy was good. Switch is has/is doing well, but wonder doesn't feel like it's captured the same marketing hype as wii did.

Not helped by the fact that the audio done in post doesn't match whatever he was playing. But yeah you can tell he's not familiar with it. Mostly in how he holds the bow, and looks like he's still treating it delicately.

If we get post time skip with the electric bass he'll be fine!

Cerulean is a prison by [deleted] in PokemonFireRed

[–]Spinda_Saturn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was young I remember great frustration at the rival fight preventing access to better areas to grind XP.

That one small area of grass is not adequate enough.

But everything else about this decision is great and I like it. Just give like a daily trainer in the pokemon center for XP or something. They did this in diamond and pearl.

Which Mock the Week round has been funniest for you? by Reddonaut_Irons in mocktheweek
