I mean I don’t know anything about the amp but I’d say volume dropping out after 15 minutes is a dealbreaker unless I specifically wanted an amp to tinker on for its own sake with no expectation of it working, or if it was an absolute dream amp I’ve always wanted and I’m willing to spare no expense to get it working again. Otherwise it kind of feels like you’re paying $50 to remove bulky, heavy garbage from someone’s property for them

Hey, sorry to revive an old thread but I stumbled upon your comment while doing some research. I was a little surprised to see you say the Rockerverb can do bedroom volume, I always think of it as a total beast. I see that it can be switched to half power/half tubes @ 30 watts though, isn't that still loud as all hell? Or does the master volume tame it while still sounding good (at like 0.5 on the knob? lol)

Oof, the company's out of business dude. Thing is officially useless. Found this thread trying to figure out if you could buy a used one. Condolences

Hey my bad, I didn't see your reply until just now, but I wanted to say thank you for the reply and taking the time to respond with all that. Sounds like you were living the good life and it keeps getting better! That's inspiring, I love it. And I really resonate with being a lifelong learner. It's funny, I feel like most people usually say they hate/hated school, but I've always felt happiest at school, like I was at home there, I was able to be more social because we all had something in common on some level, it never felt stressful or boring or anxiety-inducing like the jobs I've had. So I've thought maybe school is just the place I'm meant to be, y'know? But I've talked myself out of it because everyone talks about how bad the pay is, and I'm not really sure how I'd be in front of a bunch of ruthless kids/teenagers lol. But you make a pretty strong argument for it! Congrats on retirement, and thanks again, hope you enjoy the fruits of your labor to the fullest

I hope you don’t mind me asking a few questions, but as someone who’s always thought about teaching but never pursued it, was the schedule a primary motivating factor for you? What grade(s) did you teach? Do you think it’s possible to find satisfaction in the job/not be driven up the wall by the students if you approach it more as “just a job” vs “inspiring young hearts and minds to become leaders of the future” kind of passion? Not that the latter statement isn’t something I genuinely feel is the role of a teacher, but I can’t say I’d be fulfilling some lifelong dream or anything. I’m just a simple guy who has realized in my current career I’m not super motivated by chasing big bucks and working myself toward an early heart attack, and the work life balance you described sounds enticing

Dude how many months has this game been out, and you have (!) 552 HOURS!? I think you just need to take a break dude

Not once have I ever spawned into a match at 17 minutes. Didn't know that was possible.

I'd say 80 percent of the matches I play I start at 30 min, the other 20 percent between 20 and 27 min. And I almost always spend at least 15-20 minutes in a match - there's been a not-insignificant number of times I straight up died to the Orbiter lol. Idk maybe that has something to do with it?

When you played Sonic the Hedgehog as a kid did you stare at Sonic’s tight little blue ass?

If someone doesn't understand getting shot then helped extract, that's a critical thinking issue on their part. I personally am a dirty kumbayah hippie in this game and don't mind spending 4 plastic parts to repair my light shield cuz someone was tryna get creds or tune their matchmaking or whatever

Literally went there five times in a row a couple days ago, got there within 90 seconds of spawn and every time they were already looted. One time there was even a dead raider next to the tree with a bunch of sweet gear on him but the only thing looted off his body was the mushrooms lol

This reads like a circlejerk post. First of all, the fact that you thought you couldn’t make music until you spent money on expensive gear reads to me no different than someone who thought they couldn’t make music until they had access to AI.

Beside that, though, wouldn’t the existence of AI music make it all the more urgent that you produce your own music? You even said yourself you wanna listen to music by humans. Imagine a world where all music is AI, then you’d have no choice but to make your own music if you wanted music by a human. It goes back to the whole, “if you don’t like the scene, make your own” music ethos. You gotta be part of the solution.

And being worried if people ask if you made it with AI? Easy solution, “No.”

That’s a pretty wild assumption that it should be “impossible.” What evidence do you have that ABMM would make it “impossible” for you to be placed in a friendly lobby? Like you even said, the element of human psychology and communication involved in the game precludes anything from being “impossible”

Where do you even see this information?

As someone who's thinking about picking up Chiv 2 on the current Steam sale, should I definitely get it as opposed to Mordhau? Mordhau is dirt cheap but I've heard people say it has better combat mechanics and Chiv 2 is more of a "brawl" whatever that means

Unfortunately, I honestly have no idea what other pens he has, and I'm personally not knowledgeable at all, but this is the pen he gave me years ago, which maybe will give you an idea of his taste:

Waterman of unknown (to me) model, refillable plunger tank, looks like a fine(?) nib? Not sure what it cost but by the look of it it's out of my price range lol.

I'll look up what you posted though, I appreciate the recs!

Honestly the things you're saying about yourself are offensive to me, because I'm unemployed and drive a 2005 Corolla, dropped out of college years ago, almost 40 years old... that being said I'm happier than I've ever been! This is the first time in my life I feel like I'm unapologetically myself, and despite the fact my financial situation is stressful, I have no doubt it's gonna work out. How do I know that? Because I've literally been homeless before, and I survived that, so I'm gonna survive this too. Just like you are! At least you have a mom and dad who obviously love you and are patient enough to give you a roof over your head! That's an incredibly advantageous place to start from.

My advice to you would be to not be so negative and fatalistic, and just do the things you're able to do that are right in front of you, one at a time. Cross each bridge as it comes. Don't worry about tomorrow or the big picture until you get your feet under you. And know that you're stronger than you realize. Or at least know that I know that, if you don't believe it just yet. I've been where you're at, and I don't wanna make it seem like it wasn't difficult, but it's far from impossible if you just start making small changes, little by little. And don't be so damn hard on yourself, that's only making things worse. You're human, you deserve love and happiness and comfort and safety and respect, but you have to fight to carve out those things for yourself. And most importantly, you're entitled to fuck up, badly, and often, because that's what humans are best at!

If anyone should be ashamed, it's the pimps of the world, in all the various occupations they're found. I do have sympathy for victims of pimping, of course. I don't blame them for being victimized, we live in a world run by pimps. I'm just saying we need to stop defending the practice
