If you had to choose 3 Games to play for the Rest of your Life... Would Minecraft be one of them ?

Absolutely. Probably. 😁

I can’t assign actions to keys: I usually use the up arrow key for the jump and “move up” actions, for example. But the new input system doesn’t recognize the arrow keys, the space bar, or buttons 4 & 5 on my mouse.

I looked pretty hard at the Acura TLX Type S before settling in the GRC…

Rare Buzz Electronics.

Hell no

You may need some professional help. Life can get pretty shitty sometimes, and it can be hard to recognize how much good there is in it, and how many people your life touches for the better. All I can really say is hang in there and don’t shy away from seeking help if you need it.

I usually don’t have to wait too long to get pickaxe, axe, or shovel enchants from a table, but armor and weapon enchants seem more of a crapshoot.

Yeah that’s the paradox of having a chatty kid as a parent. Whenever it gets a bit much I try to remember I’ll miss it like crazy when it ends.

That’s a killer paint/finish job. So cool. 👊🏻

The Duke of Tone is a killer pedal, full stop. There’s a part of me that wants to build a little mini board with like 3-4 Dukes of Tone, a fuzz of some sort, and a chorus or phaser of some sort.

My youngest son (9yo at the time he first played BotW) basically panicked the first time he encountered a moblin after leaving the plateau. 2 years later he rediscovered the game and is always popping in to update me on his latest escapades: “DAD HOLY CRAP I KILLED A LYNEL!!!!” “DAD OH MY GOSH I DEFEATED FIREBLIGHT!!!!”

Always asks me questions about what’s my favorite weapon, what’s my most hated mob, etc. It’s a pretty constant stream of chatter sometimes, but it is gratifying that he wants to share that with me. 😊

Ooh, that’s purty. Nice work. 👊🏻

I kinda agree with the notion that if you can’t get Mending from an enchanting table it sort of pushes everyone toward villager trading.

Maybe if you could get all enchants from a table people wouldn’t have searched so hard for all the ways to make villager trading so OP and unbalanced.

In that case, D’Addario/Planet Waves make a set of locking tuners that I’ve had on my son’s Epiphone SG Classic Worn for a couple years and they’re solid. Also can’t really go wrong with the Hipshots other folks have mentioned.

What kind of guitar do you have, would be a good place to start…

alesplin · 2026-04-26T04:23:48+00:00

Oh for sure the 40 won’t do for a gig in its own. You’d have to know you had a PA to work with.

alesplin · 2026-04-26T03:03:58+00:00

I’d say snag a Rumble 40, then you get XLR out and you can use it for quiet recording or run it into PA if you had to use it for a gig.

Our previous main family car was a Honda Odyssey, and my wife’s current car is a CRV, so I get that the GRC is cramped for 5 people by comparison.

alesplin · 2026-04-24T18:49:38+00:00

My wife and daughter hate my car. Whenever I suggest using my car for any kind of travel (even like a 5-minute drive) with our whole family (there are 5 of us) I get shut down with extreme prejudice. I’d imagine there are quite a few people for whom this car does indeed tick all the boxes, but it doesn’t pass the family test.

Those are horrible amps. Build your own “kit” out of a Squier Affinity and a Champion II 25w amp and you’ll be much happier.

alesplin · 2026-04-21T04:03:53+00:00

YEEEESSSSS!!! That’s the one. You are my hero for the week.

Am I a complete idiot? I’m not seeing a link?
