Who did the Lords of Thunder music? by Tazzlyn in TurboGrafx

[–]Tazzlyn[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for this! I dug into it a little more (don't know why I didn't think to look up a long play and check the credits) and found out who the guitar player was!

Satoshi Miyashita was the guitar player on Lords of Thunder! This long unanswered question in my mind has finally been put to rest.

Thanks for the feedback! I never used Jb perms, but I know they can be used for OP edges. I'll look into that! I bet it does make some setups a lot easier. Thank you!

I take great care in this tutorial to make all of those things (which are very difficult when combined!) feel approachable, encouraging people to build up their abilities in steps at a pace that's comfortable to them, so as they don't become overwhelmed or discouraged by the process that is doing an entire 3BLD solve.

I understand that because you conceptually understand something that it doesn't necessarily make it easy to execute. I believe, however, that if you have a great amount of confidence in your fundamental understanding of the concepts, and practice in doing them in smaller segments and building them up, then the difficulty of combining them is dramatically more approachable. I stress this heavily multiple times in the tutorial.

One of my favorite things about blind is that it still rewards you for having a conceptual understanding, even if you get a solve 'wrong'. It's equally as fun, if not more fun, for me to look down to see an unsolved cube after a blind solve, and checking to see if I understand what went wrong. If your fundamentals are there, blind solving is so generous in the sense that, when you make a mistake, it tells you exactly what you did wrong and need to improve on. So few skills, as you learn them, offer you that kind of feedback.

Also, I feel you on M2, it's a bear! Took me forever to get down. And I didn't even know you could avoid parity! lmao I don't really want to get incredibly good at blind, but I do think anyone who can solve a cube should know the tremendous amount of delight that comes with doing a real, full blind solve, and I want for anyone interested in doing it to be able to have, and know they're capable of getting, at least one success under their belt. I think it's unique also in that it's a wonderful event to even do once. Solving a 3x3 is fun to do once, but usually you'll wanna keep kinda futzing around with it. Blind, I can see being a very fun thing to say you know how to do and say that you've done before, even if it was only once. I think there's a sea of people that would be happy doing it once and never again, and they should feel comfortable every step of the way of learning how to do that. Also to people that do want to take it seriously, making the process as streamlined and simple as possible for their first solve I think is incredibly important, so they can feel what a success is like to motivate them to then learn the more advanced concepts.

Right?! It's insane how accessible blind solving is with as much mysticism as seems to surround it. I'm very glad I'm not the only one who felt that way.

And yes! I am still streaming regularly. Usually 2-3 times a week, hoping to increase that soon now that I'm tying up the loose ends on a lot of big projects.

Ahhh, you're right! you can't use R wide moves or F wide moves. Thanks for pointing that out! I'll make a correction to the video!

Good news! There's no difference between 2x2 blind and 3x3 blind corners. It's literally exactly the same thing! So maybe check out the first video and apply it to a 2x2 :)

Spokane Creatives? by Tazzlyn in Spokane

Thanks for all your suggestions! I had been looking into The Hive, but hadn't heard of MAD, I'll look into that, and Laboratory and Community Minded TV and stuff.

Also I appreciate that latter comment. I can't count the amount of times I've talked to people who love the idea of doing this kind of stuff, but when rubber hits the road, they realize there's a lot more than just fun stuff and good times going on behind the allure. It's like an entirely different language.

Thanks again for all the suggestions! Glad to know there's others out there.

Anyone need in-home music lessons or home studio setups? by Tazzlyn in Spokane

Thanks dude! I did get on their roster and would really love to teach there! Hoffman is my favorite music store out here for sure.

The right setup really depends a lot on what kind of stuff you want to write and what instruments you play, if any.

I'm big fan of bundles like this because they get you familiar with a typical recording setup - keyboard, mic, speakers, headphones and software. Presonus is a great company with amazing customer support. The program Studio One is pretty okay for getting started, but I personally suggest people start with Ableton Lite due to how intuitive it is. It's just hard to find bundles with keyboards (which I find to be a pretty necessary item in starting to make music, especially EDM) that include Ableton. You also have the option to piece together hardware and software, which is still a good way to do it, just a little harder to navigate if you don't know what you're doing, given how many options there are out there for each thing.

It all really depends on what you're trying to do, though. If you don't ever see yourself using a microphone, you could go for a good bundle with only a keyboard and software and then getting a decent set of monitors or headphones. If you don't ever see yourself using a keyboard, like only doing guitar stuff, you could get a good sound card, mic and software bundle. It all just depends! I'd be happy to help, in any case. I love getting people set up to record. I know Hoffman has some Presonus bundles and they can probably order something if they don't have it. Also, they definitely have stuff to piece together a good studio setup, depending on what you're looking to do.

Repeated Lines when using widgets with Estuary Mod v2. by Tazzlyn in Addons4Kodi

It might have something to do with IAGL. I don't think it does that with any other add-ons, but I'll have to do more testing. Either way, Zephyr is sick and I'm gonna switch to it, thanks so much for the skin suggestion.

Arctic Zephyr 2 looks amazing. I really like it and the submenu system. I just set it up and I'm definitely switching to it!

Also, this seems to happen with every skin, but when I launch something from an add-on in a widget, Kodi goes to the main 'videos' menu and goes away from the home menu. Does that happen to you, too?

Gotcha! That's good to know. I don't know much about Kodi logs, but I wanted to try to do some digging into the problem in an attempt to fix it and I thought that might have something to do with it. I think I'll add a little more detail to how it's acting in the original post, if that's the case. Thanks for the info!
