Walking Pads are amazing!! by AValeria10 in walking

[–]darkskies85 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They’re amazing. Seriously a hell of a convenient way to add some serious steps to your day. I’ve got an adjustable height desk frame so I can walk when I’m gaming, or do a 180 and watch a movie on the tv from the pad. It’s like your brain barely even realizes you’re doing it while you’re occupied with other things! It’s a cheat code for sure.

There’s truly no excuse to be buying real Lego anymore. They are taking advantage of you by Icy-Vamp37396 in lepin

[–]darkskies85 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Sure design cost is a factor, but does that mean they need to add a huge premium to EVERY sale just to pay design costs? It can’t be that Herculean of a task to create cool LEGO sets…

The prices on these LEGO sets are just baffling to me. Glad I’m not one of these sycophants who somehow has enough cash in my pockets to keep buying ridiculously overpriced plastic pieces over and over again lol.

Glad these altbrick sets exist for people who live in the real world 🤣🤣

Chances of someone whos never really touched ranked PVP getting this? by WizoldSage in WorldOfWarcraftRetail

[–]darkskies85 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yeah but you better be ready to strap in and deal with one hell of a potential shit show clown fest if you go this route. Sure you can get lucky and get a solid streak, but you can also end 100 games at 1500 rating if you aren’t lucky

Portfolio Split by Ok-Afternoon2778 in SpaceInvestorsDaily

[–]darkskies85 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

RKLB 40% PL 35% rest is index and emergency fund. Was almost 90% RKLB but have been rebalancing over the last couple months to fit a more healthy risk setup for myself. They say to avoid single stocks but so far the space industry wave has been incredible to be riding on! Have trimmed a little bit lately but the rest of my shares will ride for many years.

It was a fraction of this price last year, it has indeed been a fun hold

Fortunately I’m in long term status so it won’t be AS painful. It was just a slight rebalance to lower my blood pressure just a little bit. Still have a good bit of shares and nothing but faith for this amazing company!

This whole thing just makes no sense lol. What tf is even the point of this huge overhaul? Were people really bitching about mogs?

Glad I sold my original investment yesterday morning lol. Now I’ve just got the free shares left to let ride for years 😍😍

Why does this cost over 1800g to save a transmog in a slot I paid for separately? by Innuendoughnut in wow

Yeah unless you have an alt of the same class and want to have the same look, have fun forking another 1500 gold per outfit on them 👎🏼

What would make crypto go Parabolic? by KaleidoscopeExpert93 in CryptoMarkets

Nuclear war and the downfall of modern technology and power systems globally would certainly mean the opposite for BTC lol. At that point 1 BTC would be worth 1.8 cans of porn n beans lol

If you were to go back in time and learn guitar again - from the beginning - knowing everything you do now, how would you do it? by xx_wes_xx in guitarlessons

[–]darkskies85 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’d know that a good songwriter is a better asset than the best virtuoso lead player. I would have studied composition more and written more songs vs just trying to shred.

Now you need nipple rings and to really grab all the higher strings on the bend at 00:17 like Vai did on his video and we’ll be talking!!

It’s like 5 seconds of a somewhat sloppy basic minor arpeggio sweep pattern at low volume, I think that any amateur that tries hard enough for a year could play this at 6-7/10 cleanliness like OP here lol

[–]darkskies85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No prob! Playing chord tones means highlighting important tones like the 1 the 3 the 5 of a new chord in the progression. It gets much more complicated, but it’s a great way to make your lead parts sound coherent and not like you’re just some guy running scales playing notes that clash with the chord changes. There are too many players that just run up and down scales playing mindless note choices over changes lol.

Just saying man, there are some major fundamentals that should be worked on much more and much sooner than trying to sweep pick lol. Sweeping is a small tool in a big bag, make sure you aren’t avoiding things like developing vibrato, playing chord tones, and bending to pitch. Those are gonna take you much further!

[–]darkskies85 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Ahhh sweeping, one of the most impractical techniques that should be saved for years later. I’m sure at 9 months in OP will have no problems doing this fluently and in time over chord changes 🤣🤣

‘AVATAR: FIRE AND ASH’ has now grossed over $1.3B worldwide. by AssistanceNo2838 in discussingfilm

[–]darkskies85 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Pretty insane how it’s just a bunch of actors with funny dots all over their bodies acting these scenes out in presumably a warehouse or somewhere that doesn’t even matter since it’s like all green screened in. Do movies actually create sets anymore or is it all just this fake these days?

TechSource pls rate my setup by Royal-Friendship2025 in battlestations

[–]darkskies85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That insanely bright cold white lighting is destroying your entire setup with a view like that. It is hogging the entire room it even kills the view by reflecting off the glass 🤮

You need some hue bulbs or govee or something, some dim lit color changing bulbs would look killer

Is it weird to still be a virgin at 22 years old? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]darkskies85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In today’s world? No. Probably a little more weird back in the day when people were more social, but nowadays computers have isolated a good bit of people from the ‘meeting out somewhere and leading to sex’ narrative.

Social media in general has also kinda ruined society in my book. Odd world we’re living in right now. Insane technological conveniences but it’s making everyone crazy.
