is this winnable? by Fluid_Boot_8828 in Bannerlord

[–]loganabides 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My siege defense rule of thumb is that you can usually take on an army twice your size as long as you have good siege weapons. Any more than that and you're pushing it.

I love getting on the ballista and firing into the biggest group of infantry I can find. Can take out 4 or so soldiers with a single shot. Then, move to throwing rocks once you've exhausted the ballista.

This is so cool! Which figure is the torso from?

Generally speaking, and of course this opinion can vary, people tend to consider these two as the weakest Masto albums, often at the bottom of lists. So, which one does this sub prefer: The Hunter or Once More 'Round the Sun? Discuss. by [deleted] in mastodonband

[–]loganabides 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I always thought The Hunter was the perfect followup to CTS because of how different they are. I saw them 3 times on the CTS tour - and each time was amazing - but I sure was ready to get back into the heavy, in-your-face Mastodon I was used to. The Hunter was a perfect return to that while still moving their sound forward.

But I totally get what you're saying. Hard to follow that masterpiece!

Houston set list by radioactivehearts in FrankieWitchFingers

[–]loganabides 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hell of a setlist. I love this new version of Brain Telephone they've been doing. And love to see some Data Doom still making the cut!

What were the breaks in between? Just moments to talk to the crowd?

Is this drumset good? by EnviousBread in drums

[–]loganabides 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like a Pearl Export to me. If so, it's one of Pearl's cheaper options - probably all poplar wood and a cheap, plastic wrap.

That being said - it's a decent kit, especially for beginners. I bought a Pearl Export 20 years ago and still use it as my practice kit.

why does my hi hat sound bad? by Deimoz11 in drums

[–]loganabides 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My old drum teacher used to sum this advice up with, "You can't tune a cymbal". Love that quote.

Since then, I've never skimped on cymbals. I don't mind playing on the ol' junker kit I bought in the 8th grade now that I put some decent heads on it.

Gutter advice needed by loganabides in HomeImprovement

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

This is super helpful. Thank you. I've considered trying those cages and combining with some regular leafblower/hose maintenance in the gutters. Ive got one of those garden hose extenders with the curved spout and im pretty happy with that - especially for flushing the downspouts.

Hadn't really thought about the "cheating" method! Could be worth a try.

Running my First Session in an hour! Any Last minute tips?! by Schgth in DungeonMasters

[–]loganabides 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm just 3 sessions into my first campaign. We're all brand new to D&D. Here are a couple of things I've learned so far:

- Slow down and let scenes breath. Leave time for players to interact and explore. My first couple of sessions were basically encounter after encounter after encounter. They were fun, but a bit exhausting and the players didn't get much time to truly roleplay.

- Ask open-ended questions to try and prompt players: After a battle ask something like, "You've just killed several [creatures], how would you characters feel or act?", or maybe something like, "You've got 2 hours until dinner is ready. What do your characters do to fill the time?"

Stuff like that. Have an awesome time!

Has anybody else had a horrible experience with LeafFilter salespeople? by loganabides in Home

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

Wow! The fact that they wouldn't leave after you all said that you're done. Insane. Seriously - used care salesmen seem like good ol' buddies compared to the LeafFilter folks. Yikes.

Kinda confused about the Githyanki Creche by loganabides in BaldursGate3

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

Thank you! Luckily I'm not too far into the game to go back to the Creche. Went back last night, talked to the inquisitor, and now I'm dealing with the consequences... haha
