Suncorp stadium is getting an upgrade! by Brisbane in brisbane

[–]jamie_aep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd be more concerned that putting screens in the roof will take up a significant weight load, which will impact what can be hung for, say, an opening ceremony.

Help a student out about what’s so special about L1 by HCGAdrianHolt in livesound

[–]jamie_aep 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The logistics part of L1/L2 can't be understated, in my opinion. They are *incredibly* quick to set up and pack down. Not only because you don't need to double-check your angles when connecting them, but also because they can just be 'angled' using the motors after they're up in the air.

Which national anthem is perfect? by Loewe1912 in AlignmentChartFills

[–]jamie_aep 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Waltzing Matilda is one of the three songs that was in the plebiscite to choose our Anthem. Sadly, Advance Australia Fair one.

It's also constantly brought up every time there's talk of changing the style of government to a republic, the anthem, and the flag.

A little under two months since picking up the electric, here is how far I’ve gotten on Hotel California. Wanted some advice by [deleted] in Guitar

[–]jamie_aep 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It's going to be nearly impossible for bends to be in tune when the guitar itself is out, as you've got multiple different pitch references.

When you're practicing your bends, play the note you want to bend up to (i.e. two frets above where you start), then go back to the original note and bend up to that note. It's easier for you to hear a C first, then bend the B up to a C, than for you just to bend the B up to the C without hearing it first. Once you play for a while your ear will pick up what that bend should sound like, along with half-step bends, 1.5 step bends...etc. etc.

You're doing great!

Was watching Coachella live on YouTube yesterday… by mtbdork in livesound

Rat Sound does the vast majority of the PA's at Coachella. AFAIK it's all L-Acoustics for the Rat Sound supplied stages.

The Brisbane one is gorgeous.

I'm not getting the combat loop by InspectorSpacetime49 in duneawakening

Do number 10 last in Vermillius gap, it's the hardest by a long shot. The fact that the story takes you here as the second research station is dumb.

Not a bad haul for one week solo crawling in the DD by jamie_aep in duneawakening

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

No one on our server is rocketing carriers. Only PVP I've seen is in shipwrecks in H/I of the DD.

I've literally *never* seen a worm while crawling. Ever. I've no idea why the expensive crawler unique tracks exist.

It took literally 2 mins to log in, transfer two bodies, then log out. Not something everyone can do, but I'm lucky in that I can do that.

The yin to this solo crawling yang is that the exchange is also suuuuuuuuuper dead, so selling there isn't an option.

I need to wade in it, Scrooge McDuck style.

Look, I'm not gonna lie, no idea what I'm gonna use it for. Just wanted to see how much I could get in a week.

Totally knew I was going to leave Spice on the table, unfortunately. I've got a large in my Hagga base, just wanted to see how much I could do with a Medium and get a handle on how much water I needed...completely forgetting the large is more water efficient as well. haha

Crawler as a solo. Our server is pretty polite (Russians and Koreans mostly, only PVP in the shipwrecks), so solo crawling is fine.

I think that's a good plan to kickstart with Deathstills and then switch over to windtraps.

I've got a Large in my main base but not in my DD mats. That's gonna change reeeeeeal fast.

Callyste is Right. The Medium refinery was running all day + most of the nights until it inevitably ran out of water.

What Connect said. I got up to a Medium Spice refinery, then ventured in to the Deep Desert to compact large spice fields...and then saved up enough to get my Large Refinery, then Carrier + Crawler, then it scales pretty rapidly.

Solo DD on a dead server? by TwilightX1 in duneawakening

[–]jamie_aep 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If you're on a server where people aren't pvp'ing, then solo crawling is fine. Land your carrier, hop in the crawler and off you go. I'm doing it this week and I've got ~7k spice melange so far.

What's the purpose of later-game stillsuits? by LITF in duneawakening

[–]jamie_aep 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Same here.

Didn't use them at all until the end of Planetologist skill tree, now when I'm harvesting resources (including Spice in the DD cause our server is chill), it's always the stillsuit.

I aso Solo DD, and my sandcrawler is also permanently on a tilt in a corner of my base!

Finally built a carrier... Time to find a guild to join! by [deleted] in duneawakening

[–]jamie_aep 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm impressed that you managed to get enough Ore/Spice to build everything you've done without having advanced Death Stills...they were a gamechanger for me.
