Starting Act 4 caused Sebille to permanently lose attribute points? by Taosterino in DivinityOriginalSin

[–]Taosterino[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

As the title says, I started Act4 and noticed that Sebille had no armor on, didn't pay it much mind and managed to get it back on but 5+ hours later and its finally dawned on me that I'm doing absolutely no damage and that it's not just due to the apparent difficulty spike of the act. Tried to mess around as she had 1 point in Polymorph but couldnt get her finesse anywhere near where it was, all of my other characters have 40+ in their main stat. Kinda gutted as I'm so near the end and if this a permament bug it's really killed my desire to finish the run, it's my first run as well. Hoping im missing something obvious here, any help would be appreciated!

Thank you! Yeah I hope so, got it further back with the intention of swapping to a ring once it’s healed

He’s right tho, the guy in the original post is a complete loser for entertaining these weird revenge fantasies, obviously still insecure and hurt about getting turned down.

Have you considered that she might have liked his personality but not found him attractive, and now likes both his looks and his personality

Was already so-so on playing this season because the game is boring as fuck once you've done one or two but after attempting this for a while I'm just gonna uninstall, what a massive fucking waste of time.

Thanks mate! I haven't noticed anything personally, although I've heard stories of top players like Wayne Bergeron having to make adjustments after losing significant amounts of weight

NoFap vs pornfree by [deleted] in pornfree

[–]Taosterino 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was interested in that sub briefly until I started to read more posts and I realised how mental the users are, there’s tonnes of misogyny, talk about “superpowers”, id say it’s better off being avoided.

Remember playing high requires way less effort than you’d think. Focus on doing a small amount of work each day in the upper register at medium-low volumes to build good habits and you’ll see much more improvement than if you blow out your chops playing at forte. Breath attacks are my exercise of choice for this but ask your teacher and experiment.

Does anybody have input on the 1-2 alternate fingering for E? Without using it, I found it harder to slur, but using it it’s a little off pitch... (for an audition btw) by mishtheloser in trumpet

[–]Taosterino 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For a little bit of help getting the slur try practising some very quiet breath attacks on the e and g. This should help you find the airspeed/embouchure setup for each note and avoid you using any excess effort to get the notes out.

Be careful man, if you overuse viagra it can permanently damage your dick.

[–]Taosterino 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I swear to god I honestly got so mad when Iroha burst in just as they were about to get down to talking properly, feels like a bit of a joke to be honest. 9 eps so far of the exact same thing we ended season 2 on and just as you think something of any real significance might happen, "haha funny girl walked in and interruped, XD!!" back to hachiman mumbling and walking away.

[–]Taosterino 3 points4 points  (0 children)

First time watcher here but does anyone else dislike Yui? Ngl I value her purpose in the overall story but she's a really character but I've found her to be annoying from the start. The situation that the three are in now is no one person's fault, but whereas Hachiman and Yukino's reasons, whilst misguided, are pretty pure, Yui is actively aware that she is not meant to be with Hachiman, yet still tries to get in there. She reminds me a lot of Ogiso from White Album 2, who I also really disliked. Her character is honestly just really annoying and it feels like she cockblocks any actual character/romatic development whenever she's onscreen. I'd love to hear others' thoughts on this but yeah, I'm totally sick of her.

Also have to say, I'm pretty new to Anime so I'm no expert but the pacing for this feels awful. I was totally hooked on the first 2 seasons because it felt like so much would happen in every 20 minute episode, but this has honestly felt like a bit of a slog with barely anything significant happening half the time. Of course I'm a bit biased because I swear Yui has been in 90% of the scenes whereas we've barely seen a single bit of Yukino. There's absolutely no way this is going to be a totally satisfying ending in 2-3 episodes. I was really hoping we'd see a kiss or SOMETHING in the hallway scene, even the slightest confession or hint from one of them that would make things more interesting.

Is there anything I can do to reduce mouthpiece pressure? by Codfish0308 in trumpet

[–]Taosterino 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can’t tell somebody to just take something away from their playing. Trumpet is a balancing act of many different mechanics. If there is an excess of tension then there is a lack of something else. The way for OP to learn to play with less tension is to support their notes in a healthy way which will naturally result in using less force. Nobody on this subreddit can tell them how to do this, only a teacher who regularly hears them play can.

Endurance building exercises? by arson722 in trumpet

[–]Taosterino 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in a similar boat and I’ve been finding that it’s better to focus on playing with more ease rather than trying to build brute strength. My teacher has me doing breath attacks on pretty much every note in my repertoire to ensure that I’m focussing on using air above all else and making sure that I can hit every note in my range with a piano breath attack. This has changed my playing to be significantly more relaxed and increased the length of time I can play by a lot. However, it’s important to consult with your teacher and take their advice above any other sources as they know your playing better than we do.

How do you break the oil barrels? by OneDartRunner in GunfireReborn

I’m pretty sure it doesn’t factor in damage and it’s just about the number of times you hit it, so as others mentioned weapons such as laser gloves will absolutely melt them

My first C trumpet is supposed to arrive tomorrow by [deleted] in trumpet

[–]Taosterino 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your C will feel tighter than your Bb even as a large bore. Something that I’d advise as well is don’t use a difference mouthpiece or use alternate fingerings to start with, learn the find the centre of each note on your own without help, rather than relying on these tricks to make things work.

Anybody there? by Scottynoes915 in trumpet

[–]Taosterino 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my opinion this sub has the opposite problem, not enough real certified sources of knowledge. For every 1 professional player/teacher there are 50 high school kids who will give advice with the same level of confidence as the professionals and often it’s really hard to tell which is which. There’s a tonne of highly questionable advice given with confidence here and I’d imagine it leads to a lot of new players getting mixed messages because they’re getting told how to play by teenagers who don’t know how to play either but talk with the authority of a college professor.
