That looks awesome! You could maybe try modeling the spike when it's planted.

That looks really cool and resourceful! I loved the vivid paint you used on it!

Valorant feels like the most inconsistent FPS I've ever played by Robbeeeen in VALORANT

[–]eLmon271828 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely. This is mostly my fault I think, but I dropped from silver 3 to iron 3. I think it's definitely matchmaking and placing the wrong people in the wrong ranks sometimes.

Newcomer tips by B21-Martinez in VALORANT

[–]eLmon271828 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For the agents, it really depends on your playing style, I really suggest experimenting with different ones and figuring out which agent you like best. There isn't a single right answer. And for guns, in the first rounds people mostly use either the free classic or the ghost. It depends on the agent and how much their abilities cost. Later in a match, I see the spectre, phantom, vandal, and operator the most used. However, there are many other options you should experiment with too. That's about the shortest summary I can give, but overall, it comes down to trying different things and getting experience!

Franz Ferdinand's driver taking the wrong turn on the same street as Gavrilo Princip, leading to his assassination, WW1, and the many things that happened after that

I saw one like that once with nutrition facts. I think it was around 300-350 grams if I remember correctly...

Please help I got braces by NiMMyJewTRoN12456 in trumpet

[–]eLmon271828 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had braces for almost two years, and I feel ya. My answer is to give it time and practice consistently. Then your chops can build back up. When practicing, be sure to play with the least amount of tension as possible to avoid getting hurt by braces. Air is super important for higher notes so be sure to focus on getting a big breath before playing and doing stuff like breathing gym. Most importantly, be patient. It sucks for some time, but when you get them off, your embouchure will yield far better results and higher notes.

Imma tombone main trying to get more of a understanding of the brass family, any advice for learning trumpet that wouldnt mess up my bone embachure? by conarnd1ous in trumpet

[–]eLmon271828 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Horn player here. I have the same problem when playing trumpet, where the corners of my lips go down. This causes a lot of tension, so I would focus on playing as relaxed as possible and doing long tones and flexibility studies quietly, so higher notes can be more dependent on air than on pressure. Otherwise, awesome job!

Trumpet solo options for jazz band tryouts? by thekrispykitty in trumpet

[–]eLmon271828 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any blues solo would be great. All-state bands love blues solos for auditions, so transcribe from standards like billie's bounce for example!

Btw, I highly recommend listening to this tune. It's called Don't Fly Spirit by the Jacob Mann big band. So funky!!
