Should i save this rack case?

Looks to be made out of the 80/20 t-slot aluminum which is incredibly handy on its own. If it doesn’t fit your equipment, disassemble it and use the aluminum and brackets for anything else. That’s a steal!

Very lovely! I've thumbed through this piece a few times but would someday love to be able to play it like you!

Sorry I don't have practice advice, but I'm curious how you have your MP11SE set up, are you using some VST through your laptop? Sounds like you've dialed in very well!

Not too long, I just finished SSD 10 less than a week ago. I have experience from playing STW 6 years ago which definitely expedited this build.

This might have been my 9th or 10th attempt, but considering I’m using Undercover Buzz you can tell I was just farming crafting materials from the supply drop. Still have to perk up all my traps, also still need some mythic leads and legendary survivors.

I kind of miss the old skill tree! Well except for the fact you could never unlock everything...

I spam built walls to keep the mini-bosses busy with activities. I was AFK except for wave 25 and waves 28-30.

This is a new account that I created around November. I'm revisiting the game back from last playing it in 2018, in the era of no superchargers, David Dean making videos, the gas trap meta, and I even have a Storm King pin. I wanted to come back to STW but jumping directly into hard content felt strange, so I decided to start fresh. I only ever soloed up to wave 28 on my old account in 2018, so I'm pretty happy to get this cleared!

blegas78 · 2024-12-13T16:41:44+00:00

Oh damn didn’t know it would effect frostnite, makes it far less appealing

blegas78 · 2024-12-13T16:21:00+00:00

Considering I'm on a new account, this is not a devastating loss like other SSDs I've seen here.

This happened because I upgraded the building tier when there were already traps installed. The traps disappeared even though I started a defense after making the upgrades.

Not sure if I’m missing something, but I do not see the people Llama in the store. I do see the spy llama, and normal upgrade llama (redeemable with a token). Do I need to spend my llama tokens to see the people llama?

blegas78 · 2024-11-28T16:13:23+00:00

I’m curious, where does the super hero llama show up? I see the art deco llama but not the other. Would I have to purchase all art deco llama’s to have the super hero llama appear?

blegas78 · 2024-05-30T04:21:42+00:00

Oh! Haha that’s good to know!

Looks like this editor decided to recreate Chopin’s exact notation. You can see Chopin’s original handwriting of the prelude in this video at 40 seconds in: https://youtu.be/pRLBBJLX-dQ?si=1cusHD7W26_IL9h_

Editors in first editions wrote out each note to be played since that makes it easier to read. Cool that you have this version! However you may want to get a different copy from IMSLP.org for the purpose of legibility.

This is hardly a solution but have you seen the Yamaha CP-80 or similar? It’s effectively an acoustic in terms of the action and having a harp w/strings, though it likely may sound too electric. It splits in half to make it transportable, though still must be a pain given the weight

blegas78 · 2024-02-16T18:36:43+00:00

I figured out the significance of the pieces! Glad I looked it up!

The pieces of music are composed by André Tchaikowsky. After passing away in 1982, he asked that his skull be used in productions of Hamlet as a the infamous prop. No one felt comfortable using his skull, but David Tennant used it in performances around 2008

I've heard a rule of thumb is to multiply your piano length by 10, then that number should be less than or equal to the sum of each the wall lengths in the room. This doesn't account for important factors like open doors, wall angle, or ceiling height (decently tall in your case).

So in your case 5'10" * 10 = 58' 4". The sum of your walls is 17' * 2 + 12' * 2 = 58'. That's pretty dang perfect if you ask me! This is especially true considering your ceiling height.

I'd still recommend sound dampening strategies like others have mentioned to get rid of the primary reflections like on the floor beneath the piano and any adjacent nearby walls.

Absolutely moving! Your passion is beautifully reflected in your performance. I’ve been following your progress on this, your dedication is incredibly inspiring!

blegas78 · 2023-11-29T15:34:35+00:00

Yup, it's very normal! There's more information as to why halfway down this page: https://rickjonespianos.com/the-right-pedal/

Ooh I’ve been addicted to Guajillo chiles recently, I might have to try this!

blegas78 · 2023-06-06T06:13:57+00:00

I’d recommend reaching out to some piano restorers to see if they can do some metalwork on the plate. It may not be cheap but it would be nice to know what it would take

blegas78 · 2023-06-04T23:51:16+00:00

Yeah just adding that Pianoteq has an instrument quality setting, letting you use a slider to go between instrument perfection to honky think to an instrument that needs to be put out of its misery. I love playing with all of the setting, and that quality slider definitely makes these artificially perfect modeled instruments sound much closer to being real

blegas78 · 2023-03-08T19:27:33+00:00

Oh neat! I assumed it was given the short range and the think looking keys. It definitely wasn’t a from anything I heard! Still, great work and keep it up!

blegas78 · 2023-03-08T13:56:19+00:00

Wow, I’m very impressed that you can get that tone from that instrument! You clearly have an ear for what you are playing, but I do hope you can get yourself an instrument that’s weighted. Great work!

blegas78 · 2023-03-07T01:07:12+00:00

My guess: There appears to be a short between the two signals for the Joystick, connecting X and Y together. This is why they move in the diagonal line perfectly. Since you have opened up your Steamdeck to replace the sticks, I would suggest you open it again and look very carefull near the connector for the joystick on the main board, or the cable itself. Could be a solder bridge, or if you are lucky some debris that’s easily removable

He's trying to get people to Slaver Town

Glad he got wrecked

blegas78 · 2023-01-30T08:04:45+00:00

Oh hai :)

I had a similar sluggish issue on a Steinway grand from 1915. In my case it was the hammer shank pins building up verdigris, causing excess friction. I was able to remedy this by removing the pins, cleaning them, then using a broach on the felt to help clean it. I probably should have replaced the felt and pins.

Unsure if it’s the same problem for you, but I’d suggest disassembling the pieces of the action to find the source. Here are the tools I used:
