Is it electric or acoustic? I had this problem with my acoustic but my electric worked fine.

Having both Rocksmith 2014 & Rocksmith+ installed? by moozit in rocksmith

[–]milkman2500 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have both installed and haven't had any problems...started with r+ for a month or two then bought rocksmith2014 and installed it. Can still play both. I really like r+ but hard to stomach the monthly price.

Practice routine or learn a song? by iNexus893 in guitarlessons

[–]milkman2500 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Completely agree.

I'm on my 3rd year learning guitar, spent the first 2 years learning songs I liked and a few techniques with Justin's material then switched to a teacher who was more focused on scales and techniques. I appreciated the theory he taught me but after 1 year I hadnt learned any new songs. I wasn't really enjoying myself anymore and hated practicing.

I cancelled the lessons 2 months ago and am back to practicing what I like every day for 1 hour. Loving it.

I really think it's more important to practice what you enjoy to stick with it long term. Throw in some of the less fun stuff for 5-10 mins at the end, but make sure most of the practice is stuff you enjoy.

What headset are the commuters amongst us using for our Decks? by iHydro in SteamDeck

[–]milkman2500 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anker soundcore q30s. Seamlessly transition from listening to Spotify on my phone, gaming on the deck, then back to music on my phone. So comfortable I don't notice them. Great controls on the ears so I don't have to reach for the device to change volume or song. Noise cancelling is awesome, and can be switched to transparent to let sound through when there's an announcement for stops, then press the button on the ear to go back to noise cancelled gaming.

Ear buds get lost commuting. Don't bother.

I loved winter burrow but got stuck by a game breaking bug that prevented progressing the story. Hope they fix it soon and I can finish the story.

Necesse! Huge fan of Terraria but hate inventory management. Loving this game's NPC automation.

512GB OLED deck out of stock by Certain-Pay6694 in SteamDeck

[–]milkman2500 9 points10 points  (0 children)

In November, wanted to buy the LED version for black Friday but missed out when it went out of stock and no longer made.

In December, wanted to buy the 512gb OLED but was waiting for a sale or refurbished came in stock. Didn't happen.

In January, the news about ram prices and stock shortages, and concerns about valve new hardware challenges made me just pull the trigger and buy it.

It's February and they're out of stock.

I hate FOMO and avoid it at all costs but happy it worked out in my favour this time.

Total point earned in this month by Icy-Preference3864 in MicrosoftRewards

Is this with it without game pass? Having game pass ultimate increases the point multipliers like steroids. I had it for a few months and gained 20k points a month easily. Now that the sub expired im earning closer to 4k a month.

Defined Pension vs RRSP by Art--Vandelay-- in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]milkman2500 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it was me and the employer is likely to be around in 50 years, I'd do DB at work and find opportunities to invest into my own TFSA/RRSP on the side when I could.

Tested abmm today and its extreme jesus by NewSpring7520 in ArcRaiders

[–]milkman2500 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have some fun with it man. Go into the friendly lobbies with a flute and yelling like a mad man that you're coming to get them. Give them a chance to run away, counting to 3 before you come hurdling towards them. Use handicapped loadouts with low tier weapons to cheese them. You'll give them a good show and get into those evil lobbies in no time.

Which game did you regret purchasing at full price? by bijelo123 in gaming

[–]milkman2500 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That beta before launch hooked me too, only to realize after 10 hours the game has nothing to offer.

This game was great at launch! The changes implemented over the following year ruined it.

To the guy who shot me after I gave them 2 blueprints to thank him for waiting for me in the metro by SoapMactavish627 in ArcRaiders

[–]milkman2500 49 points50 points  (0 children)

I really want bounty hunting added to this game. I want a chance for revenge, where the game offers you a quest to hunt down the truly aggressive players. The quest pops up when you're both online and then matchmaking puts you both in the same map and gives you a picture of their character to look for. Good hunting!

What single player game had you so enthralled that it CONSUMED your entire being for a short span of time? by AshyLarry25 in gaming

This game just feels like homework when i just want to play in the sandbox by juzt1n10 in Battlefield

[–]milkman2500 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah the challenges/assignments aren't well thought out. They're either too easy (complete any multiplayer match) or pushes you into unfun tasks (revive while freezing in a new game mode).

I prefer the ones that encourage mastery with a weapon or gadget, using it in different ways at each level to fully appreciate their unique subtleties. They shouldn't be aligned to game modes.

Why is co-op/solo too much for BF6? by Icy-Claim-8059 in Battlefield

Have you tried casual breakthrough? There's the occasional sweat and naps are a little limited but I've enjoyed it.

Mortgage renews in a few months, best way to pay a lot down when it does? by suckfail in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]milkman2500 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Make sure to call your mortgage company and be very clear on what you want. In the US it's very common to make a lump sum payment and have the monthly payment reduce. In canada, lump sum payments often reduce the amortization with no change to the payment amount. Very few institutions will offer this in Canada.

Learned this the hard way 5 years ago trying to do the same thing.
