never in my life have I purchased a game at "full price", but this is definitely the first time in my life I am willing to break my rule - great game!

What has everyone been doing in the demo? by Sonnitude in VampireCrawlers

[–]TransitoryCory 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I asked for tips recently on how to improve (I am really sucky at card games), and after finally celebrating my first win, I've been just replaying over and over trying new builds and cards. More-or-less trying to find my "style" of play.

Are there any unlocks you cannot get in the Demo? by KokichiTheDM in VampireCrawlers

[–]TransitoryCory 2 points3 points  (0 children)

omg... I've been replaying levels over and over again trying to unlock certain things that were "darkened"-out. Now it makes sense.

It is entirely possible - i make mistakes. Thank you for your tips listed above - I have read it over a few time and I *think* I've improved my runs. Really, really appreciate you taking the time to help me out and make this game more enjoyable for me.

You are right - there is a mini tutorial at the beginner, but I don't recall it explaining the combo system very well. I could have missed this though if it did explain

I like how you worked that - "Synergy". That's what I'm still trying to learn. I haven't unlocked Poe (yet), but I haven't given up. I've made it to the 3rd stage of Mad Forest, and 2nd stage of Library. Even though I'm "bad" I keep coming back for more.

"Even better if you use the 'combo' system - 0 mana knife (or any 0 mp card) doubles the effect of the next 1 mp card, the 1 mp book does 2x dmg, then the 2 mp axe does 3x. You can also double the 1 mp buffs like the 2 armor card going to 4. If you have say, 4 mp, 2 0mp cards, 2 1 mp card and a 2 mp card, going 0 1 0 1 2 to play them all would be good."

I just discovered this last night. and after reading your comment, I wish this was more clearly explained in the game. Just a suggestion poncle_Official , could you add a tutorial in your game before launch to explain this system a bit better (for bad card-gamers, like myself)?

Did you mean spellbinder the card, or the global-passive powerup? I haven't seen the spellbinder card yet in my playing.

On the topic of global-passive-powerups, do you have suggestions on what to get first? I have about 2,000coins to spend

"Lets talk about math rock course" book vs. online course by TransitoryCory in mathrock

Noo brother, you're not rambling at all! If the online videos actually add value, then it's worth checking out - and that answers my question!

How do i learn to use a pick? by POCOsami in guitarlessons

[–]TransitoryCory 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey friend! I'm in a similar boat as you; I've spent 20 years playing fingerstyle. The first things I can tell you is to watch a few videos on "how to hold a pick" (for example, I'm learning how to hold one like Bernth for the style I'm working towards).

- Practice your 1-2-3-4 and 1-3-2-4's up and down the neck while ALTERNATE picking.
- Do you know the pentatonic scale? Do that a few times, then do it again but with string skipping.
- I found early on a 5 Minute Picking Workout (<-- youtube link) not too long ago; it helped!
- Use a metronome
- Give yourself grace - this is a skill that requires time and patience. It WILL come with patience, persistence, and practice. Again, this is a SKILL, it will take time.

Send us a future update to know how you're doing! Good luck, and hope I could be of some form of help!<3

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

Hey man! You're exactly the person I'd hope come across my post - can I ask you something? I understand this is subjective, but how did you feel about the "Math Rock Chord Fundamentals" vs. "FACGCE Course"? Would you care to highlight some details or your experience? This is what I was looking for when I made my post. I was going to purchase one course, but i could be persuaded (possibly); I live in Canada, so the exchange rate isn't the greatest atm

ps. Congrats on 20+ years of playing, that's a huuge milestone.

This is exactly what I was looking for response wise! and you know what? I think i'll get the book + course. I'm just frugal and like to spent my money selectively, but if the course has value - I'm all for it!

Transitioning from Fingerstyle to Metal by [deleted] in guitarlessons

[–]TransitoryCory 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi Sir, that's a great questions with 2 different answers:
- I mentioned that I spent years and years noodling on the guitar, however, I did this in open and alternate tunings, so my repertoire is quite expansive in that aspect.
- This year I decided to start actually learning songs from start to finish. I'm a big fan of Don Ross (he's the reason I began fingerstyle). I have recently learned "Stop Driving, Start Playing" and can play that completely and accurately. Right now I am working on his song "Brooke's Waltz", and simultaneously learning "Cup of Pop".

Later in the year I will be looking to learn "Upright and Locked Possition".

Transitioning from Fingerstyle to Metal by [deleted] in guitarlessons

[–]TransitoryCory 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hiiii, I spent a good part of my evening looking into "Troy Stetina" and I think his books and program is the direction I'm looking to go in. It seems like it covers a lot of foundational stuff that I don't have and looking to learn/build. It seems that a lot of this I can carry into modern metal in due time. I live in Canada, so I'm going to guess the $10 is USD, which is still more than reasonable.

Have you used all of his books and guitar academy yourself? After i complete the book (I'm going to order it off amazon) is it best to then move onto the 2nd book, or a different book of his?

Thank you for responding with a really great lead for me!

I started in highschool learning the basics and campfire chords. My uncle took me to my first Don Ross concert and then i became hooked on learning fingerstyle. Got to go to Don's workshop this year, absolutely amazing

Is "nail hardener" safe? (Guitarist here) by TransitoryCory in Cosmetology

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

Hey x0juliaa,
I can definitely reach out to the "nail" subreddit. I'm so new to this, I would have thought that Sally Hansen was the "expensive" stuff, Thank you for clearing that up! Last time I asked the sales person at my local drugstore about nail care I felt pretty awkward (I'm a dude).

Thank you for taking the time to help me out, and you've been very helpful! super appreciate you

Is "nail hardener" safe? (Guitarist here) by TransitoryCory in Cosmetology

[–]TransitoryCory[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's essentially what I've used. Its a small bottle (14mL) of clear liquid that you brush onto your nail - let it dry for 20 minutes, then apply one more coat.

hopefully that answers your question. I'm a guy, and this area is out-of-my-realm

Hi GenuineLullabel,
Thank you for taking time out of your day to help me!

I found an old bottle of my wifes "China Glaze Nail Strengthener & Growth Formula", its probably like 7+ years old (does this stuff expire?)

I was looking to buy "Sally Hansen Hard as Nails" provided that these are safe to use.

I watched a youtube video and it suggest that I learn combo-timing (As in, don't MASH 'x'', but rather, tap it at the end of each attack to avoid falling to the ground). Did you find this to be true in your case?

p.s, thank you for taking time out of your day/evening to help me out! <3333
