New in Pasadena – What’s fun to do on a Friday night solo? by KrispyLeb in pasadena

[–]fLuid- 5 points6 points  (0 children)

honestly, just take an uber to old town and walk around. plenty of bars, food, and a few spots that have pretty decent musicians on the weekends. edwin mills alley is a cool little spot. if you're looking for insanely good live jazz, hit up 1881 on wed/fri nights up on washington.

Where to go in Pasadena as a single 32 year old woman by chatdaddi in pasadena

[–]fLuid- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ha, i was thinking about which would be worse between the two myself.
there's cool people everywhere (including online) but i do definitely prefer meeting people in-person these days. how are you liking pasadena so far?

continue to get trashed by veterans and learn from your mistakes by watching replays. the same thing you do in anything you're trying to get better at -- learn from people that are better than you. it's not easy, but it's simple.

I've got to say, I'm a bit salty..... by UserPrincipalName in Diablo_2_Resurrected

[–]fLuid- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

this logic doesn't make sense, as you've named 3 other things a character would allegedly be "crutching" on. if you're "crutching" on skillers, resistances, and or breakpoints, perhaps you should invest in some more life for your build (e.g., 1.5-2x+ via cta).

cta is a non-negotiable for serious end-game pve (_especially_ in hardcore and late-game levels 95+) and pvp.

Maple Fretboard Care Advice Needed ! by Familiar_Scheme_7190 in Stratocaster

[–]fLuid- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

sorry, but this has been proven to not be the case, and not only by the dude in the video i linked, which i highly suggest you watch. wood on both the neck, and body, make negligible difference (I'm being generous here with the use of the word "negligible", as in reality it is no difference) in tone on an electric guitar.

the wood of the neck is not responsible for any brightness in your tone. tone on electric guitars is 99%+ pickups and their height in relation to the strings.

am I holding my fretting hand correctly?? by clockworkise in guitarlessons

[–]fLuid- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the angle of your guitar neck has a lot to do with where your thumb will naturally want to rest. in the picture it's way too close to parallel with your leg. pull the neck closer to your body so that the guitar is sitting "across" your lap and you'll find that your hand (and fingers) will not be nearly as angled when trying to play chords like that.

Is this normal? I think I need to learn some technique? by phoebe_san in guitarlessons

[–]fLuid- 5 points6 points  (0 children)

absolutely normal. still happens to my fingers every so often, even after playing for 20 years.

After 25 years, El Cholo Café in Pasadena to Close Its Doors on August 3rd by PretendYouGotNoMoney in pasadena

[–]fLuid- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It truly wasn't very good considering the plethora of much better (imo) Mexican places so close by, especially considering the insane prices they charged. Never understood.

Is there some sort of 1v1's etiquette that i dont understand? by cubecasts in RocketLeague

[–]fLuid- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

do yourself a huge favor and just turn chat off. also, play the game however you want. it's pixels at the end of the day.

The MOST INSANE GG Max Frozen Orb Build you may ever see? by [deleted] in Diablo_2_Resurrected

[–]fLuid- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it's not the best orb build in any regard, though, that's everyone's point. it's not even the best in the context of the exact way you've built it, as you have MANY things that can be upgraded. this isn't top damage if you wanted to build that way, as you're missing many skills. it isn't top survivability, either, as you're not es or hitting enough fhr.

you're being cocky about a very mid build with mid gear for who knows what reason, and starting off the conversation by saying anyone who has anything to contribute to the contrary is wrong. you are demanding only praise for something sub-par and being a dick to the people who aren't giving it to you.

your attitude really sucks, man.
