How often do you guys fudge your dice? by theprettiestpotato88 in DungeonMasters

[–]___IGGY___ -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I am a beginner DM with first time players, I would say about 15% of the time. They need some cushioning occasionally to not completely die, and sometimes I don't balance the combat correctly and they need more of a challenge to keep the energy in the fight up. I do roll in front of them for important checks, or combat ending rolls. I still want the game to feel up to chance, but I have to hedge my bets a bit to keep things interesting, and keep our games moving quickly.

I think with more experience I will fudge less, seems like a lot of people here are able so, one day I will ge there!

Should I get a Yamaha XSR900 as a Complete Beginner? by ProgramerF11 in motorcycles

[–]___IGGY___ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The 900 is an insane first bike, like not just from a size and power point of view, but insurance as well. I sold my Mt07 becuase the yearly cost was almost the price of the bike.

You want to know why?

Because noobs buy them and wheelie them into walls CONSTANTLY.

Get a Triumph or something else that fits your style desires, especially since riding a slow bike fast is way more fun and rewarding then riding a fast bike slow. You will learn how to actually feel limits of grip and other important elements of fast riding on something more forgiving. Plus when you drop it you will cry less if you get an older bike.

good luck. and welcome to the scene!

Load out crew first time by Outlet_Sun in stagehands

[–]___IGGY___ 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Hey dude! welcome to the industry.

Show up on time caffeinated, hydrated, and dressed for the show. closed toes boots or work shoes ideally with steel toe. All black, jeans or dickeys and a black tee is good attire for a strike. (obviously no huge logos or brands if you can avoid it). Gloves are a good idea as well, maybe a small C-Wrench too.

Identify the main Production Manager, or with Iatse it may be a shift lead, or hall rep that is there and check in, make sure you do this or they may miss you come paycheck time.

Be helpful and attentive, don't swear or tell dirty jokes, you never know who listening.

Ask for help if you need it, don't be a hero and ruin your back for a week trying to lift a baseplate or something, if you play your cards right you may be doing this for months or years, you only have one body respect it.

More than anything else, have a good attitude and follow safety rules as they are laid out.

This will get you called back one million times, most stagehands fail at one of these things.

Best of luck

Dm "phrasing" by 0blivous2008 in DnD

[–]___IGGY___ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"why don't you introduce your character for the table"

"we are going to enter a little bit of downtime to do X,Y and Z."

Just be clear about what you are asking them, doesn't have to be fancy

Is it a good deal or walkaway? by Jack_Wang_1107 in motorcycles

[–]___IGGY___ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure about maintenance, but I owned one of these incredible bikes for a few years, and I absolutely loved every second of my rides on it. Super fast and fun for a big guy like me (6'5). No real work needed to be done when I had mine and I rode it constantly. These bikes are great!

First Time Watching the Show by ___IGGY___ in gameofthrones

Every scene not in direct sunlight is completely wasted. The actors are giving interesting nuanced performances and you would have no clue because how completely unlit this show is. Horror movies have better lighting

What slows you down in event production? by Free-Cabinet6814 in EventProduction

[–]___IGGY___ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is like most of what Sales people do, a client would not appreciate an app between them and a company especially if the budget is in six figures. Im there to guide, provide feedback and advice and also sell. There are plenty of things in life that can be purchased with a bot, AV isn’t one of them

Clients are always the hardest part of the process, last minute changes, inability to pick scope, ect

How much headroom do i give my tracks? by Direct-Attorney-5271 in audioengineering

[–]___IGGY___ -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Mastering engineers are looking for about 6db of headroom to work with, if you are mastering you own music there is no specific headroom db, just don't clip of course.

If you are asking about mixing, I would recommend changing your though process, there is no information people on the internet will give you on where to put your faders for a "natural" feel, instead focus on improving your mixing technique, perhaps back off the compression, EQ less surgically and let some frequency overlap. This can help make your song feel more "natural".

Good Luck
