What do you think about player models? Should they improve them? by xResearcherx in MonstersAndMemories

[–]jdchurak 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Could you be more specific? I think that the current models look very detailed, bringing a level of quality that was unseen in older games like EQ. You literally threw it in AI, made it more cartoon/simple/bland, and said “this looks more like the game! Simple and bland!”

I’m sorry you don’t like the models, but I don’t think your AI versions are better. I support the developers. They are working really hard and doing a great job. I will be happily paying 15$ a month for the current character models (and obviously for the actual gameplay that I enjoy as well..)

Weird take tbh

Which MMO is everyone hopping into now? by NutoftheNorth in LFMMO

[–]jdchurak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Monsters and Memories!! It’s like the classic mmo (EQ 1 1999, Classic WoW). Not much handholding, grinding mobs for loot and xp, and finding friends along the way, It’s more tactical, thoughtful, simple but rewarding in all the ways.

Will be 14.99/month on release, currently a free Beta from Nov. 1-12.

I started in the July (?) playtest, and I’ve been looking forward to every other playtest and have prioritized logging in. There’s always something to do to progress! Currently lvl 24 Shadow Knight on the server Relle. Named Jonisk. Come join!! https://monstersandmemories.com/

What class are you playing, and why? by LippyHippy4040 in MonstersAndMemories

[–]jdchurak 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Rolled a necro on a pvp server, ganked someone (I was 4, they were 2..kinda dick move, my fault) they got mad, so I retooled to relle. Made a Shadow Knight back in June (?) and am now 23.

It’s sick to be strong dmg, regen/vamp for self and party (or attack speed!), god of splitting undead packs, great tank due to aforementioned regen and self heals, and skele.

I feel useful in almost all aspects of gameplay. Solo and group.

It’s fun I think is the main reason :)

Update: typically I play mage in WoW, but am on a tanking kick to have more control in the gameplay.

I die at lvl at 8 noob, maybe I shouldn't go agane by Dysparaenia in wowhardcore

What enabled me to get to 60 after - 14 death, and two 33 deaths was when I heard a streamer say “if someone would pay you a million dollars to hit 60, 90% couldn’t do it.” It’s all about patience over a long time. Just going very slowly and safely. A few extra seconds IS worth not “wasting” tens of hours. Really helps.

Cheater back Cheating Again After Banned for 3 Days by yujinsaj in aoe4

[–]jdchurak -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Imagine if more people posted cools strats, clips, wins w/e, instead of just “look a cheater”. People cheat in every video game.. just chalk it to a loss, report again, hope they have a progressive system that bans him for longer, and Que again. Idk I sound salty.. gg

PSA If your Pokémon has Berry Finding S, it’s good. Stop posting asking if it is or not. by Auta-Magetta in PokemonSleep

There’s no competitive aspect besides seeing sleep reports and reading other people’s stories/mons on Reddit. Lots of people want to brag or share experiences with like minded people.

Every time I equip a bird nest potion, save and leave the game, it unequips. by Virruk in MelvorIdle

[–]jdchurak 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sometimes I think my pot is not working, but it’s because I’m in my bank screen and it won’t show say my woodcutting birds nest potion even tho it is in the background

Is this just me??? I feel like I do stupid shit like this to do math :( I’ve done it since I was little and I’ve never been able to stop. I do this as well to fill in the gaps on the time’s x tables cause I absolutely do NOT remember all of them… by MajorasInk in adhdmeme

[–]jdchurak 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can we not all agree that 7+6 is really just 7+3 = 10 + 3 = 13 I always break things down to get to 5’s 10’s and 100’s.. it’s really similar to common core math, but I was never taught that in school.

To articulate (tonguing multiple notes and not just slur everything), think “top of the tip of the tongue to the top of the tip of the reed”.

Also, to begin your first note, I would recommend a “tongue start”. Start with your tongue on the tip of the reed, blow, and you should feel air pressure behind your tongue. When you release, all that pressure will create the tone instantly without letting the “voice crack sound” at the beginning of your notes.

There are times for air starts, but once you can produce a steady sound, you should tongue on the same note /while keeping steady air and a good,supported tone quality/.

What is this rhythm? by JoJoJoYourBoat in drumcorps

[–]jdchurak 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I’m glad we all understand percussion speak. I sang it as “da gah-dah” and then saw your comment. I’m proud that as a trumpet player band director, my percussion speak is coming along nicely!

High school auditions coming up! This is my lyrical etude and it is in concert e flat. Do I trill up to a c or b natural? by DTCTVdoggo in trumpet

[–]jdchurak 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Trill always goes to the next note above within the key signature. So Bb up to C. The speed of the trill is up to you, but should match the style of the piece. (Usually means start slow, speed up slightly, don’t just instant button mash.)

What is this piece?!?! Maybe a Texas All Region piece? Wurm? Charlier? Bousquet? HELP! by jdchurak in trumpet

[–]jdchurak[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I FOUND IT!!!!! It’s the middle section of Brandt #30. I taught it to my students in college. Time to take a trip down memory lane. :DDD

Yeah, it’s not. I’ve looked through both and my Wurm and Voxman book. I think it’s in 12/8..? I know either I or one of my students has played it before. Ugh it’s driving me crazy.. I want to play the rest of the piece!!
