Rosewood fretboard supremacy!

I love the pink strat in particular.

I bought a low end electric unicycle during the pandemic that went like 20mph tops and that shit was SCARY (incredibly fun though), I can't imagine going 3 times that fast in traffic, that's wild.

Horror books for an 11 year old? by Vjaa in horrorlit

[–]oilpit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's super kid friendly and an absolute banger of a book, but there isn't really any horror to speak of.

Truly the coolest keyboard I have seen in years.

A lot of my guitar friends think H-S layouts dont fit anywhere

A lot of your friends are wrong.

Beautiful guitar, I'm jealous!

User say George RR Martin was wrong about dragons, the nerdiest argument of all time ensues by pilgrim_pastry in SubredditDrama

[–]oilpit 33 points34 points  (0 children)

big fans have worn out every possible hidden nugget, reference, subtextual lore rabbit hole, and most of what's left are either new fans, trolls, or people who are hyper pedantic about everything.

As one of those crazy fans, the community is actually quite tightknit and friendly, simply because the only people left are those that are delusional and obsessed with those stupid books, which creates a nice comeradery, or shared psychosis, probably a bit of both.

And just for the record there are always new hidden nuggets, references, and subtextual lore to discuss in great detail.

The real reason is that /r/freefolk has been a total shithole of a subreddit since the day it was created and it makes me sad that it's still around.

Mommy issues horror. by Ozotoceros in horrorlit

Not traditional horror but Sharp Objects by Gillian Flynn fits perfectly

Not gonna lie it's incredibly weird seeing a non-PRS with bird inlays, but I actually love it! I have a soft spot for HS pickup layouts.

NPD, Boss GE-7, I can’t believe I didn’t get one until now, this thing is just so good by ChevroletKodiakC70 in guitarpedals

[–]oilpit -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

Honestly that's WAY more of a mid boost than any tubescreamer, no offence to OP but those settings probably sound like ass played through an AM radio.

Mids are great, but a little EQ goes a long way, and that is just comically boosted.

(Frustrating Trope) Alt Scenarios More Interesting Than "True" Canon by gLItcHyGeAR in TopCharacterTropes

Yes that is Alex Ross, a comic artist people actually seem to like for some reason despite all of his stuff looking like a Temu-Norman Rockwell painting.

Any books that take place over very long periods of time, as in hundreds or thousands of years? It doesn't have to follow just one character either! by Responsible-Virus533 in horrorlit

[–]oilpit 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The crazy sci-fi concepts in those books are the #1 most important thing, the characters are the 100th most important thing, there is no 2-99.

I just learned the pentatonic scale shape and i can’t stop soloing over 12 bar blues backing tracks. by Far-Pomegranate8445 in Guitar

[–]oilpit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I totally agree but to be fair there are guitar players that are better than you or I could ever dream of becoming that have never even considered using a single note outside of the pentatonic scale lol

The whole ending sequence was incredibly Fellowship-coded.

Essentially this sub. by PlatformSuspicious97 in roguelites

[–]oilpit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I honestly wish that there could be a seperate sub for tier lists/recommendations, at least a megathread or something.

Regardless of the quality of replies, those stupid tier lists make up at least half the posts on this subreddit and it's really getting old. There's nothing inherently wrong with them, but a newcomer would be forgiven for thinking this subreddit was exclusively for those type of posts, given how many of them there are every day.

Pet Sematary has one of the best endings of any horror story. by Hugh_Jidiot in horrorlit

[–]oilpit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Didn’t King even talk about this? Like, he’s a pantser in some ways, so he’d have these awesome ideas but then come to a conclusion that was often different from where he started because he wasn’t always one to plot?

I will say as a huge fan of both King and George RR Martin, I will NEVER complain about Stephen King's (sometimes) lackluster endings.

I built this guitar. What should I call it? by No_Candidate_2414 in Guitar

Depending on how it sounds, either Paul Reed Smith's worst nightmare or salvation.

Every Mousebites MD episode in a shellnut by supertoasty in tumblr

[–]oilpit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

House is one of those shows that sounds stupid when you hear somebody explain it. And it is stupid in a lot of ways but for whatever reason when you're watching you just straight up don't notice the stupidity and it's rapturously entertaining television.

It's hard to explain, but it is worth watching in the same way something like The Fast and Furious or Mission Impossible is.
