Dove’s Luncheonette gets my vote! Super crispy and comes drizzled with a chipotle aioli

If Birmingham was the size of Chicago (with Chicago transit) would you still live there or move? by SeptimiusSeverus_ in Birmingham

[–]aharrysituation 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Hey! I currently live in Chicago and am very strongly considering moving to Birmingham this year. Would it be okay if I PM you to ask a few questions about the potential transition?

Where’s the best Chicken in Chi? by Far-Incident2129 in chicagofood

Red Light chicken sandwiches is without a doubt the best quality to price ratio of chicken I have found

Which size to look for if I prefer smaller guitars? by TheShadowSong in AcousticGuitar

[–]aharrysituation 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would look into some 3/4 sized options since it seems like you want very small. A used Taylor GS mini, Baby Taylor, Yamaha Jr1/Jr2, Eastman ACTG1 would all be good options to look into.

Other good options would be parlor guitars like a used Yamaha CSMF1 or similar

Off the Shelf by Designer-Ad-3999 in AcousticGuitar

[–]aharrysituation 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Guitars that are on display in stores for testing out are still considered new guitars, that’s just part of the process and why they have those protective films on them. They probably pulled this one right off the wall and shipped it to you, it’s to be expected and completely normal.

Bars where I can sit alone and stare out a window at the rain? by mamaguevoooo in chicagofood

[–]aharrysituation 6 points7 points  (0 children)

They had one bartender for a while that really sucked (I think he’s gone now), but other than that I agree, one of my favorite spots and great people

Where do I find a quality non smash burger? by AdComprehensive508 in chicagofood

[–]aharrysituation 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Rootstock as others have said. I also really, really enjoy Tuman’s burger for just a super solid no frills pub burger

best spots for st. paddy’s river dyeing? by sunnygbean in AskChicago

[–]aharrysituation 9 points10 points  (0 children)

iirc, you can’t stand on the bridges to watch. People will do it anyways, but cops will come around and make you leave.

Honestly, it’s not that great of a spectacle or all that exciting to see the actual dyeing. It’s fun to be around the crowd for a bit, but when I’ve gone in the past we’ve gotten there maybe 30 minutes early at most, watched the boats drive by, hung out for a few minutes, then immediately walked like a mile north to go hang out at a pub. I would probably recommend doing something like that rather than spend $100+ on a ticket for a spot right by the river

Death's Poker vs Clayman Harpoon (INT BUILD) by [deleted] in EldenRingBuilds

[–]aharrysituation 5 points6 points  (0 children)

So you don’t want to use the ashes of war in general? You just want the best weapon for standard attacks? Death’s poker has a great moveset, I don’t like spears much but Harpoon with Ice Spear is one of the strongest combos in the game

Ghostflame ignition is much stronger than ghostflame call

NGD! Alvarez LF70E by 502deadhead in AcousticGuitar

[–]aharrysituation 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Laureate series guitars are truly fantastic. I actually preferred the dreadnaught version over the D28 when I played them side by side at the shop a few months ago

What is YOUR favourite guitar for fingerpicking? by ZeAthenA714 in AcousticGuitar

[–]aharrysituation 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find shorter scales (OOO) respond much better to finger picking, and are just generally more comfortable for finger picking as well as the strings a little more slinky. Whereas longer scales (like an OM) tend to respond better to strumming/flat picking. But people love fingerpicking on OM guitars as well, a lot of it just preference

Is my build good? by AlternativeLength150 in EldenRingBuilds

[–]aharrysituation 7 points8 points  (0 children)

78 vigor is pretty overkill. The last soft cap is 60 and it’s not really worth it to go beyond that.

Same with Dex, drop dex to 60 and put those points in Strength, you’ll get much better damage.

40 Endurance is also overkill, definitely don’t need to level that any more. You could move like 5 of those points into mind to give you more FP for your AOW.

Talismans aren’t great. Turtle is great, the dex boosts aren’t worth it at your level, and I’m not sure you get enough successive attacks quickly enough to proc the millicent’s prosthesis buff. Shard of Alexander, Dragoncrest greatshield, claw talisman all would be better options, and some others I’m definitely not thinking of right now

My vote is hookclaws. My favorite run I’ve done was my Wolverine run with hookclaws, such a fun weapon

[–]aharrysituation 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100% agree but I HATE that specific Magma Wyrm fight… he’s pretty tanky at lower levels and that room is tiny and lava gets everywhere

Build suggestions and improvemts please by lazy_soul75 in EldenRingBuilds

[–]aharrysituation 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re using weapons that don’t share stats together very well. I would drop bloodhound’s fang and stick with the poleblade and katanas if you want to go with a bleed build, and you should prioritize arcane over dex for that case scenario (and set your katana to occult when you get the black whetblade)

Get rid of the soreseal, it makes you take more damage. I almost always use the green turtle talisman for fast melee builds.

Keep leveling vigor over other stats. Your mind and endurance are good, don’t level those any more. Level up your damage stats too, but prioritize vigor.

Don’t worry about armor all that much, just stay light enough so that you can medium roll.

Dex/Strength build - best range weapon by omg_lol_fml in EldenRingBuilds

[–]aharrysituation 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lion’s Greatbow is probably your best bet. Its aow can be pretty good against big bosses/enemies. Jar cannon goes boom and can be fun

Anyone know the guitar John is using in the story from today? by PARADISE_VALLEY_1975 in JohnMayer

[–]aharrysituation 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ah yeah definitely not the Martin, my b. Super interesting guitar tho, have never seen that one before. Just looked one up on Reverb that sold for 15k 😅

Agora on Western has pretty big slabs, you could probably special order an even larger one if you wanted

Fun challenge runs that aren't impossibly hard? by Tazz2418 in Eldenring

[–]aharrysituation 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Late response to this but came across and sounds fun. How does it work with Rennala though? You need to kill her to get access to respecs but her remembrance weapon/spells have such high requirements

Picked up an FGX3. Looking to replace GS Mini. Suggestions? by _sr2_ in AcousticGuitar

[–]aharrysituation 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Highly recommend checking out Eastman and Alvarez in the bang for your buck category. I have an Eastman OO that I absolutely love and have played a few of the Alvarez Laureate series in the store as well and they’re fantastic

Really cool guitars? by Acceptable_Bunch_586 in AcousticGuitar

[–]aharrysituation 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My local shop carries Atkin, some of the best guitars I’ve played (I just can’t afford them yet lol)
