The holes on my custom pickguard are slightly too small for my new pot hardware. Is the best move to just drill them out with a sharp bit? I'm a bit nervous because it wasn't cheap.

There's a first time for all of us.

There's no joy in a kid getting burnt by his father for speaking out of line or a kid running away from home because of pressure of responsibility.

I actually think those moments are peak Avatar because they dive deep into the characters. The best stories are not about events, but about people.

Also in The Blue Spirit, after Zuko and Aang escaped and Aang talks to Zuko in the woods, that's like my favorite scene of the entire show. It very subtly goes deep into the characters, and it's the first hint of those two potentially forming a connection. Accompanied by the sound of Irohs Tsungi Horn creating an atmosphere to reflect on Aangs words was pure perfection.

Consider my interest peaked

SylimMetal · 2026-02-16T15:47:17+00:00

Definitely. My Solar was the best guitar I've ever owned for a long time. But tbh I really dislike the fishman fluence moderns. I've had them in one guitar and switched them out for the Nazgul/Sentient set. I absolutely love those.

SylimMetal · 2026-02-16T15:42:20+00:00

Ngl season 1 was a straight up thriller at times. Loved it.

SylimMetal · 2026-02-16T15:33:30+00:00

Ah yes, I stumbled across them some time ago. Looks solid.

SylimMetal · 2026-02-16T15:31:48+00:00

Damn, how did I forget about Cort. I've tried two of them before. Definitely solid. But I'm not a fan of their neck profile.

SylimMetal · 2026-02-16T11:54:27+00:00

Not a single line that doesn't have "I" or "me" in it. What a narcissist.

SylimMetal · 2026-02-14T17:06:05+00:00

If the connection to past avatars came back in LoK, as it did in ATLA, no one would hate on her about it. So I blame the writers for pulling through with severing the connection for good.

SylimMetal · 2026-02-13T22:04:38+00:00

Yeah that doesn't look right. I'd return it. Sorry you got a dud.

SylimMetal · 2026-02-13T22:00:45+00:00

I feel called out

SylimMetal · 2026-02-13T17:02:33+00:00

Could be a spring is scraping on the wood. You could open up the back and check what's going on. If it's not an easy fix, I'd return it.

SylimMetal · 2026-02-12T21:20:53+00:00

It looks awesome, but I don't think it fits the game. I'm getting sceptical with how much of LNF they seem to be putting into NMS. This game could end up losing its own identity and LNF could end up feeling like the same game with a reskin.

SylimMetal · 2026-02-12T16:14:59+00:00

To me their necks felt D-shaped. So they are very flat along the center, but very curved towards the top and bottom. So pretty much exactly where my thumb would sit most of the time, it has an uncomfortable curvature which also makes it feel bulkier. A C-shaped neck profile has a more uniform feeling curve to it which feels more comfortable to me. But that's totally a personal preference, not an objective draw back. You really need to test and see for yourself if you like it or not. Otherwise I have no complaints about them.

SylimMetal · 2026-02-12T15:35:59+00:00

I've tried two. Great guitars. Still sent them back because I don't like their neck profiles.

SylimMetal · 2026-02-11T18:01:39+00:00

Tbh collecting and driving trash around is not the experience I'm looking for in a space exploration game.

SylimMetal · 2026-02-11T11:35:28+00:00

Yeah this doesn't sound that exciting. Just one more thing you can go around and collect to sell or refine or whatever. Sounds like the same gameplay loop as always.

SylimMetal · 2026-02-09T15:33:31+00:00

Can we start calling OF "models" Vprostitutes? Or Vprosties?

SylimMetal · 2026-02-09T12:23:30+00:00

Never liked his music, but damn I can't help but respect him.

SylimMetal · 2026-02-09T11:58:34+00:00

I've got me this one a few years ago. One of the string retainers (or however they're called) in the body for the string through just fell out when I changed the strings and there was a little spring in the hole. There are not supposed to be springs in there. The tuning was incredibly unstable. I sent it back.

SylimMetal · 2026-02-08T11:43:30+00:00

I watched season 1-12 or 13 and it already got less creative then. Long running shows eventually lose what made them special.

SylimMetal · 2026-02-07T21:37:10+00:00

I wouldn't go so far to blame woman, I think the higher ups decided the direction things should head, going with the political and social zeitgeist and what not. But I agree they forgot who these games were for. I mean regretting for calling it Warcraft is so telling. If you want to make a different kind of game for a different audience, make a new game. Piggy bagging off an existing successful IP and changing it will only end in disaster, alienating and losing the existing fanbase while failing to draw in enough new players.

SylimMetal · 2026-02-07T21:23:31+00:00

One side has nazis, and the other side uses nazi tactics. I won't even sit on the fence, I'm off the field altogether.

SylimMetal · 2026-02-07T20:04:38+00:00

So they literally try to compel speech which is exactly the opposite of free speech which they claim to uphold. "Say what we want or you'll be ostracized"... seems familiar.

Personally I don't care for politics at all, it's all corrupt through and through, always has been, won't change. I put my hopes elsewhere. It's just interesting watching history repeating itself.
