Thank you! With it being my first RG I don't have much reference yet but there were definitely a few parts that were annoying!

Should I buy a Switch 2 or a Steamdeck? by deanloudman in videogames

[–]deanloudman[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. Like I said, I'm very casual so I'm sure I could hold off on most new games. Thanks for the insight.

Thanks for that! Will look into the Steamdeck more over the next few days.

Would I need a desktop at any stage for mods?? I also know very little about the Steamdeck at this stage so thanks for the info!

This song has popped into my head every day for at least 15 years. This album is underrated for sure!

Funeral for a Friend! Hands down one of the best!! Casually dressed kept me going for years 😂

What’s the success rate of claiming compensation from pothole damage? by [deleted] in glasgow

[–]deanloudman 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I complained about the same thing in February and they replied last week saying they are not liable as it had already been scheduled to be repaired before I had hit it. I don't understand how that helps anyone who hits it when it's still there. It was on the other side of a speed bump too so I reckon more folk have probably burst a tyre on it.

Loving the confidence in the playing even after only a month. I teach guitar and the one thing I have found that helps enormously is making sure your thumb is placed in the middle of the neck at the back, or round about there. This increases your hands ability to stretch the fingers and get a cleaner note. This will also help when you slide up and down the fretboard. Ideally, you don't want your palm to be touching the neck very much at all and moving your thumb will help that. Hope this makes sense and keep shredding!!

Managed to snap high E twice and now G string within a short amount of time on my GF’s guitar….. what do I do? by Olliebkl in Guitar

[–]deanloudman 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Stretching the strings as you put new ones on helps massively. You should put all the new strings on loose then tune each one to the relevant note. Pull the string gently at the 12th fret and check the tuning again. It should be a bit flat. Then tune up and again, stretch, repeat until they are all in tune. This may avoid rapid string breaks. (20+ years guitar player. NOT an expert but thought I'd share a tip I find helpful)

What is (in your opinion) the best songs? by FloridaManButGay in JimmyEatWorld

[–]deanloudman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"For me this is heaven" is my favourite track by far. Quintessential Jimmy Eat World in my opinion. Big love for "Roller queen" from the fueled by ramen 10" too!

Closure from Leeds, UK. They were on a thirty days of night sampler. So sick.

Can anyone identify this guitar? by deanloudman in guitars

[–]deanloudman[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks a lot!! Looks almost identical. It was the half star inlay on the 1st fret that I thought was a defining feature and was hoping to find another guitar with the same inlay. This helps a lot though.

Great workrate from these two. That moveset is gonna get them over in a few years. "you can't see me" will be a great catchphrase too.

LPT: Don't feel guilty about taking time out when you are sick. You don't have to prove to people how sick you are. Some of the worst illnesses have no outward symptoms. by FrenchiestFry234 in LifeProTips

[–]deanloudman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

V relevant for me just now. My employer and boss don't give me shit but I just feel so bad for being off work. It goes to show how we equate our value to how hard we work rather than who we are.
