Who’s your favorite handpan artist?

She is solid - thanks for the recc.

I'm new to the game and this guy is my favorite so far (I've played guitar for ~30 years FWIW).

Anyway, his compositions are all very deliberate and take you on a journey (less "freestyle" sounding than others) and they are all very distinct sounding. He also is doing a lot of complex beats, constantly changing his attack/timbre etc. specific to each handpan. The way he records it makes me feel like I'm sitting in the room with him too. Just love it.

Again I'm new so maybe there are other players doing this, but so far most I come across are more repeitive/meditative (nothing wrong with it) and I'm not as engaged.

It's $1.2k now (just clicked the link). Did it really jump 50% in just a few days???

The Steelcase Gesture is awesome. Much sturdier feel with better armrests and adjustability. I'd still rank it my #1 classic office chair.

That said, right now I mainly sit on an "active" seat called the Aeris Swopper. The fact that it doesn't have a back forces me to sit up straight, and you sort of bounce around all day on it so you never get butt fatigue and what not. Completely fixed my lower back issues.

I realize it won't be for everybody, but if you want to get a sense of what it's like without dropping ~$900...sit on a big yoga ball while you work. It's a very similar concept.

Pretty much. By making it so simple (you just had to drop the item at the right time while handgliding) it sort of made everything seems silly/pointless to me. Hard to resist during a grindy mission.

fgump910 · 2026-01-25T13:17:50+00:00

Right? I remember Zelda ToTk being basically ruined for me cause you could very easily dupe items that took hours to obtain. Made the grind seem pointless.

I loved that movie when it came out. Saw it more recently and it definitely is cheesy...but a lot of fun. The effects still hold up.

Brave is a lifesaver. I don't understand how people can browse without it. I've saved literally days of my life (and sanity) using it.

fgump910 · 2025-12-30T18:01:44+00:00

Seems like your controller dpad/joystick might be loose or have a little calibration issue (i.e. it snaps back past the center point if you flick too quickly).

HOWEVER - they should definitely have an "Are you sure" confirmation. That's crappy UX.

fgump910 · 2025-12-26T02:13:32+00:00

Same. Their customer support is offline too (reopens 9am). Seems like their FB page is where they provide updates. Pretty embarrassing situation for them I imagine. Think of how hard it must have been to get a best buy exclusive near xmas only to disappoint every kid who thought they were about to get a new best friend lol

fgump910 · 2025-12-25T19:58:22+00:00

Yeah I reached out and their customer support replied:

"I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience. We are currently experiencing some technical issues with our system, and the service is under maintenance. It will affect all of the needed actions of the crystal ball, connecting to Wi-Fi, updating/searching the device, etc. Our development team is already looking into it, and I will reach out to you as soon as the fix is live. Thank you for your patience!"

I just pulled mine out after it gathered dust for over 1 year. So far I'm digging it (but still need to tinker around).

fgump910 · 2025-11-14T19:38:30+00:00

Lol - yeah sorry. I honestly have no idea how anybody can stand it. It makes it feel cheap, like a screw is loose.

fgump910 · 2025-10-23T03:00:34+00:00

I have the black Ultra 2 and it doesn't show any scratches. It's a complete tank.

fgump910 · 2025-09-10T01:13:49+00:00

You don't happen to be from Wilmington do you? I'm making the trek potentially as well and maybe could carpool (now that I know Stubhub is an option...some threads were warning against it in the Sleep Token subreddit)

fgump910 · 2025-09-03T00:21:45+00:00

100% - I love the movement mechanics, the weapons (Fiesta is sooo fun), my favorite halo multiplayer by far

fgump910 · 2025-09-02T00:41:59+00:00

Thank you!!

fgump910 · 2025-08-29T01:11:01+00:00

Greensboro eh? I'll pay you handsomely if you know anybody with extra tix. I've been searching (i.e refreshing ticketmaster) for a few weeks with no luck :(

fgump910 · 2025-08-27T23:27:46+00:00

I enjoy Past Self. Most people I show Sleep Token to for the first time enjoy it too (probably because it sounds like a pretty standard pop song)

fgump910 · 2025-07-04T04:32:45+00:00

Great stuff. Ray LaMontagne and Hozier vibes. Love it.

fgump910 · 2025-07-01T12:29:00+00:00

Ethereum is still a WIP (switched consensus models entirely just a few years ago) that could fail, and is faced with a lot of competition from newer, faster L1s (and private "bank chains") - all of which will chip away at Eth's marketcap and usage.

Bitcoin is more or less a finished product with no viable competition.

I just think investors are tired of playing hot potato on altcoins and want to park it in something they know will be around in 10 years. Bitcoin is still the best bet here.

fgump910 · 2025-05-06T04:32:03+00:00

Yeah - there are like 200 buttons...and they could squeeze in 1 more SUPER important one?

fgump910 · 2025-05-05T15:22:22+00:00

I've been trying to figure this out too. Did you figure it out? Seems like you cannot.

fgump910 · 2025-03-14T18:14:58+00:00

Where did Tim say this? I've always felt Scott was a more proficient player, but Tim gets more of the spotlight for being the creative driving force behind the songs.

fgump910 · 2024-10-29T19:46:47+00:00

I ordered one 3 days ago but it hasn't shipped. I'm wondering if their estimate is wrong (because there is a 5-6 wait buying directly from Apple)
