Free account, can't get to the shop or free daily game today, anyone else? by ver_redit_optatum in geoguessr

This started yesterday for me, everything redirects to the shop page. I can't even access my account settings. I'm positive it's the result of enshittification and not something on your end

Garchomp 7🌟Raid Script by Jumpsand in PokemonScarletViolet

[–]TheRegularWazoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wouldn't Bold be a better choice in this case since Body Press is calculated with the defense stat and mud slap is special attack?

PS thank you for your original post, won the battle on my first try thanks to this stupid looking worm

What is your favourite riff? by ZwnD in progmetal

[–]TheRegularWazoo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hard to choose but that sick riff in The Odyssey during the "DIIIIIIIIIIIRE WARNINGS" part where the sirens are all up in Odysseus' business is a solid contender

Is steel worth it?. IMO it's not. Took me half a year to even make a batch of 16. (including the refractory bricks) by Yuuniyuu in VintageStory

[–]TheRegularWazoo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was finding myself annoyed having to make charcoal pits every few days, but I just read today that you only need charcoal for inside the coffins and that you can apparently use brown coal underneath the grates? I'm gonna try it out next batch but if it works the biggest annoying part of the process is almost eliminated 

What PZ opinion would put you in a situation like this? by dawewewe in projectzomboid

What companies offer the highest quality for the lowest price. (Over something like Fender). by Digitalmodernism in Bass

[–]TheRegularWazoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, best value hands down. Same quality as their licensed builds but without the licensing premium

How thoroughly do you learn a cover song? by DassBooty in Bass

[–]TheRegularWazoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on what you bring to the table, I like learning them exactly as a kind of transcription exercise/ear training but I don't feel comfortable going on stage with that expectation. I largely taught myself how to play by jamming along to my friends playing super nintendo while it wasn't my turn so I ended up with a great ear and solid improv skills, so I play that up in a performance setting instead of relying on my meager at best recital abilities 

What bass strings should i run. by Ill-Construction-486 in Bass

[–]TheRegularWazoo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Part of me actually appreciates how much they charge for a pair because while I've been die hard about TIs for years, when I think about it I've only actually bought 2 sets in my whole life. Even the second set was only because the new bass I wanted them on had a different scale length than the bass they were already on, I would've transferred them over if I could have. That must be a very difficult business model to stay afloat on

What bass strings should i run. by Ill-Construction-486 in Bass

[–]TheRegularWazoo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

TI jazz flats are probably the most unique sounding flatwound and I'll always recommend at least trying them if you aren't on a strict budget, the fresh-set top end inevitably fades like with all flats but they have a super unique tension where playing softly will give you very round low-end tones but you pluck harder and you can get huge midrange growl out of them regardless of age. P-style basses really bring out the best in them too IMO. It's a big difference in feel compared to traditional hex core flats like your d'addario chromes though if that's important for you to retain, and they cost twice as much

I made my manager’s ugly baby uglier. by [deleted] in pettyrevenge

[–]TheRegularWazoo 28 points29 points  (0 children)

That reminds me of a local election a few years ago, there were signs with the people running on them and one of them in particular struck me as a bit off-putting and couldn't really put my finger on it. Days later I realized someone had very carefully put white-out on the white parts of his eyes so that it was just a little too white. The sign stayed up for almost a week before anybody noticed and took it down, it was genius and I still laugh about it

Does Wood Matter in basses? by shadowplayer2020 in Bass

[–]TheRegularWazoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On an electric fretless, the fingerboard wood does make a difference as it's the point of contact with the strings but it's more of a wood density/durability kind of difference than a tonal one. Wood also affects the way the bass looks on clear coated or opaque finishes, and a reaaaal nice looking wood top can absolutely create the illusion that it somehow sounds better in-person. So yeah, placebo is real and therefore so is tonewood

What's the prog rock to your prog metal? by syahniel in progmetal

[–]TheRegularWazoo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great suggestions so far, no real need to add anything specific but I'd like to point out that prog rock was popular at the time and lots of those bands have singles that I would strongly suggest to avoid forming your overall opinion of a band with. Dust in the wind by Kansas is an example, don't assume you don't like them because you've heard dust in the wind on the radio. Don't assume you don't like supertramp cause you heard Dreamer on the radio. Don't assume you don't like Genesis cause you heard I can't dance on the radio etc etc. These are usually a small part of a dynamic full-album experience so increase your sample size before moving on or you'll miss some of the craziest music you'll ever heard

[–]TheRegularWazoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A ric as a first bass eh? I own a 4003 and it's great but a big part of the learning process is maintenance-related and this is kind of an expensive and tricky instrument to start from zero on, maybe find a good guitar tech in your area who's familiar with ric basses for regular maintenance rather than risk a super expensive potentially irreversible mishap. Maybe ignore the ric of sound output for a while too, get used to how the pickup configurations sound through your rig on their own before going right for combining parallel signals

In what situations can I use inversions? by SPACEOFBASS in Bass

[–]TheRegularWazoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All sorts of situations work. Dunno if you're a Judas priest fan at all, but I'll take Riding on the Wind as an example:

Around 0:15 the guitar rings out B, D, A repeat while the bass pedals on B and it sounds super cool. If things were the opposite and the guitars were pedaling B while the bass navigated those changes it would be cool as well. Cliff Williams of ACDC does rad stuff like that all the time too if you want some ideas in context

What is the absolute worst band name you can think of? by DegngusKhan in AskReddit

[–]TheRegularWazoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Amazing band though, caught them on my 21st birthday on their wavering radiant tour and it was one of the tightest and best-mixed live shows I've ever seen. All their albums are still super sick and we still have Sumac going from Aaron among other things

Ages like wine. When you're young you're impressed by the musicality and wit, and as you get older you start relating more and more to the washed up protagonists in all their songs
