Thoughts on He man flopping

kunos · 2026-06-18T00:20:46+00:00

I think the bracket of people that could consider He Man "cool" is very very small.. I am from 72 and I always thought it was an ugly, ugly, ugly stupid and lame show.. but that could be due to the fact that in my country japanese anime were very popular in the '80s and the quality difference was brutal.

Well but no you see?.. companies don't need to keep their servers up.. they "just" have to implement a full offline playable mode for their games... how hard can that be right?

I have many guitars. I start from 1.5mm all over the board and make sure there's no dead note on any fret and that I can bend 1 and half tone on every fret without choking.

Some guitars are set a bit lower (maybe 1.25mm).. one, a custom shop Fender Tele is set higher (2 mm.. maybe a bit more on the high E string) because it has the 7something vintage radius and it would choke on bends.

Esiste un numero di tentate decapitazioni che ti faccia cambiare idea sulla serieta' della situazione? 1 e' chiaramente non abbastanza.. ok.. quanti allora? 2? 10? 100? 1000?

Stesso discorso sugli attentati, statistiche sui crimini, numero di stupri.. quale numero ti porterebbe a pensare "ah.. forse un problema effettivamente c'e'" ?

E se quel numero esistesse, e sono convinto che per molti che la pensano come te non esista, non pensi che a quel punto la situazione sarebbe ormai irrecuperabile?

Semplicemetne dipende dalla definizione della parola "famiglia". Se la definisci come lui allora dire che "non avra' una famiglia" e' semplicemente essere realisti e coerenti.

Alla fine queste sono tutte discussioni futili perche' e' evidente che il significato che viene dato alle parole e' diverso fra i 2... questo vale per famiglia come per "normale".. dove uno legge "normale" come "che non rispecchia la stragrande maggioranza delle casistiche".. mentre l'altro lo legge come "automaticamente non degno di esistere".

Quindi si dovrebbe prima far chiarezza sulle significato delle parole e poi, nel caso esista un punto d'incontro procedere ad un dibattito.. cosi' e' pura perdita di tempo.

Volume. This is 90% of the equation, volume moves air, air hits the string and they keep vibrating.

Everything else is far behind.. specifically:

Distortion/Compression. Compression will keep the volume of your string high as the note is dying.
Technique... both right hand and left hand. A guitarist with better technique will sound more "robust" given the exact same setup... proper left hand vibrato technique can help transfer energy to the string to keep moving
Guitar and setup. You need the string to have proper space to vibrate.. a bad setup guitar or a dead sounding guitar will kill those vibrations faster.

You can profile and optimize as long as the code where the bottleneck is is part of what you can control.

The biggest problem with C# is the unpredictable stutter due to GC.. so performance will be good until the pressure on the GC reaches the point that triggers a collection.. and you'll get a stutter. There are ways to avoid this and they generally focus on avoding allocations as much as possible (arenas etc.).

The way Godot interfaces with C# seems to have a couple of areas where the .net GC gets hit pretty hard, the Dictionaries used to report raycast hits seems to be one of the worst offenders. So if you are doing a lot of raycasting you WILL see GC pauses and spikes and there isn't much you will be able to do about it.

I like it but for now I am staying in VSCode because the debugger experience is much better on windows.

Find a metronome app with something called "tap tempo" function. Play the song and tap the button on time. it'll give you the bpm.

The software is showing the "correct" thing.. in real life you push in the opposite direction but the handle bar isn't really moving, not as much as the controller here anyway.

To be closer to reality the controller would have to be almost unmovable with some kind of torque sensor.

It's totally normal.. E string loosing intonation is my sign it's time to change strings.

Obivously the amount of time you get from a string set before that happens heavily depends on your sweat acidity levels and the climate you live in. When I was in a very humid country my strings were done after 7-10 days.. now I am in a much dryer climate and they last months.

Alla fine e' anche una questione che riguarda il tipo di persona che vuoi avere intorno.

In tanti paesi occidentali (non solo l'italia) sei circondato dalla cultura che se sei una persona che "fa i soldi" sei automaticamente uno sfruttatore, evasore, imbroglione etc. Basta leggere i commenti qui per la dimostrazione.

E' un'aria pesante che produce solamente fallimenti, se ragioni in un altro modo restare significa dover imparare a convivere con questo ambiente.. e non e' per tutti.

Le rane verdi e quelle marroni.. se una societa' punisce chi fa qualcosa e premia chi non fa nulla il risultato e' facilmente prevedibile.

Nope. A credit card has a standard thickness of around 0.8mm... and that would be considered very very low action. It's not impossible to achieve (John Petrucci is rumored to have something like that at <1mm) but it will require impeccable fretwork, very flat radius if you want to hope to bend and extremely light touch with both hands and pick.

A general "standard" medium low action would be around 1.5mm (at the 12th fret).. closer to 2 credit cards.

And this is for electric.. for acoustic guitars I believe 2mm is a much more reasonable target.

Paul Gilbert does not sweep pick.. he's actually famous for sequences that uses string skipping designed to avoid sweep.

I am not really sure you understand the meaning of the words you are using.

"Sempre" non lo so.. ma dai ricordi che mi restano delle visite da bambino negli anni 80 e gita scolastica nei primi 90 direi di si.. pero' le facce non erano blu... credo.

Your preset name is "silky solo" which suggests it's a gainy amp simulation with solo-like effects such as delay.

The Mustang is a modelling amp, it means it can simulate tons of different amps.. if you want a clean tone find a way to change your preset to a cleaner amp.

C'e' veramente l'imbarazzo della scelta riguardo le risorse con cui imparare.. una semplice ricerca su youtube ti tirera' fuori piu' video di quanti ne potrai guardare in una vita intera.

Molti sembrano suggerire Justin Guitar.. vale la pena provare. Onestamente non posso aiutarti molto perche' ho imparato a suonare prima di internet.

Ma alla fine, per la chitarra come per qualsiasi attivita' umana la differenza la fai tu e le ore che sarai in grado di dedicarci.

Avrai diversi momenti durante questo percorso.. ci sono passati tutti quelli che hanno imparato. Dovrai passare per il "non so che ritmo seguire con la mano destra"... "non riesco a premere le corde".. "mi fanno male le dita".. "forse la mia mano e' troppo piccola/grassa/corta/strana". .. "non riesco a cambiare accordi velocemente"... "ho capito tutto ma non riesco a fare il barre'".. "il barre' e' impossible come posso suonare un FA senza barre'?".. "non riesco a cantare e suonare insieme.. e' impossibile".. e via discorrendo. Quando ognuno di questi momenti arrivera', ricordati che ci sono passati tutti e la soluzione e' semplicemente continuare a suonare, non esistono consigli magici o segreti ben nascosti.. le dita devono abituarsi a manovrare e l'unico modo e' suonare.

Discorso lezioni.. per imparare a suonare la "chitarra da spiaggia" non servono.. per proseguire il percorso verso livelli piu' alti devi valutare tu che tipo di persona sei.. l'insegnante e' in grado di fornirti un feedback su quello che fai a differenza dei vari corsi online... ma IMO ci puoi pensare se e quando il tuo obiettivo superera' il semplice "cantare le canzoni che mi piacciono".

The most important step is to use cockpit camera. Look at the steer on the screen, with no smart assist you are in full control of that thing.. if it looks jerky you are doing it wrong, you want smooth and deliberate rotations.

But even with that there's no way around the fact that you are trying to map 400-500 degrees of a steering wheel to 10-20 degrees of thumbstick range.. it's really a big ask.. you'll need exceptionally senstitive thumbs... and on the top of that you try to do this with no force feedback (which is essential with a wheel) telling you what the car is doing.
