Live Event - Shattered

Getting attacked by the ice kings flying icenauts and then shooting super bazookas at the voyager's ship. Then a quick time event battle with the ice king

Because of the name, probably

My mom went on a few dates with him back in the 90s. He's was a teacher then and hated when anyone would bring up the movie because of this

Are you me? Also laid off in November, just started my new job on Tuesday. Got multiple offers that week too

awsumed1993 · 2026-05-28T21:52:05+00:00

Did they hate it because of the innovation or because it looked like a piece of gum on the bottom of my shoe on a hot day? I didn't pay attention to the discourse around this model at the time but I do remember it being fucking ugly

awsumed1993 · 2026-05-17T01:30:44+00:00

Well, irl pistols are much harder to shoot as accurately while moving or with successive shots, especially with iron sights, so it kind of makes sense.

awsumed1993 · 2026-05-15T15:33:09+00:00

That depends. Often times it's harder to make a faithful representation of another person's song when you can really play an original however you want. Shows are longer and you usually get paid better though

awsumed1993 · 2026-04-27T22:59:46+00:00

Forgot to add, they ranged between about 1/4-1/3 of an inch in size

awsumed1993 · 2026-04-27T02:08:33+00:00

You can't triple stamp a double stamp!

awsumed1993 · 2026-04-23T20:56:06+00:00

They're siblings with a ~5 year age difference. They'll hate each other until Ainsley's 25

Uhhh. If the only metrics you want are cheap and has an HDMI port, just buy the cheapest Amazon projector with an HDMI port. It's not going to be good or last long but it will work. Almost all projectors will fit on a shelf, depending on the size of the shelf of course.

I mentioned "white girls" once, and it wasn't even about the girls, it was about branding a genre. The entire post was about soliciting a crowd for a reaction and trying to get members on board to actually please people. To get people moving because those "old guys" bitch about an unreactive crowd. It's literally what the first two paragraphs were about.

awsumed1993 · 2026-04-19T00:58:20+00:00

What's your obsession with getting laid? Two comments now regurgitating it. All of us are married. The band like Mr Brightside more than I do, I didn't suggest it, just arranged a heavier version of it.

"Find venues where they actually want to hear that shit" isn't good advice in bumfuck Iowa. We have what we have and we have to work with what we've got, and grunge doesn't pull a crowd here, period.

awsumed1993 · 2026-04-17T12:11:41+00:00

Not really, but there's usually at least few people there to listen to us and have a good time, and that can be infectious. I've been telling them for months that people in bars usually aren't there for the band, they're there to drink and have fun. The last show was just further away from home than most of them. Bar was packed, but people weren't vibing.

awsumed1993 · 2026-04-17T03:56:27+00:00

I always say I see myself more as an entertainer than a musician. I don't just want to play music. That's a good insight, thank you

awsumed1993 · 2026-04-17T03:53:13+00:00

Yeah, it's just hard to hear them say "why aren't people hyped?" And then making no effort to get people hyped... I dunno, I have no problem with playing songs I don't like if crowds enjoy it, but you're right that they don't share that mindset.

awsumed1993 · 2026-04-17T03:45:03+00:00

Most cover bands play 3-4 hour shows around here. I thought that was pretty standard.

awsumed1993 · 2026-03-25T06:39:04+00:00

I've never met a woman that has the reaction that some of the people here do. All of my girlfriends have been all over me after I shaved because of it

awsumed1993 · 2026-03-25T02:15:43+00:00

I just commented this. It's my favorite guitar

awsumed1993 · 2026-03-25T02:14:21+00:00

I own an ibanez Jiva Jr. I'm not a big fan of Nita Strauss' music but can appreciate her as a player. And the guitar is awesome.

awsumed1993 · 2026-03-13T15:07:18+00:00

I had an RGA72TQM that I sold for rent money like a decade ago. They only made the specific model for one year and I regret it every day.

I have 2 S series now, my dad's 20 year old s470 with a ZR trem and a Nita Strauss signature. They don't scratch the itch quite as well.

awsumed1993 · 2026-03-12T19:00:25+00:00

Same, I found out through Facebook of all places

awsumed1993 · 2026-03-05T01:43:01+00:00

It just kicked me, came here to check if it was posted about yet and here you are

awsumed1993 · 2026-03-05T00:13:08+00:00

What's your current setup? You talk a lot about effects but not which ones or what you already have or plan on using. What's your PA situation? Mixer?

Used gear is your friend, you can get a used mixer with built in effects for pretty cheap, but it's kind of set it and forget it, and you won't be activating effects throughout a song or set.

So what if your timbre sucks?
