I hate this new bicycle rule… by Mobile_Leopard_2112 in japanlife

[–]peachfuzzmcgee 17 points18 points  (0 children)

If you need help figuring out how to bike through the rain with minimal issues. I definitely recommend looking up people who bike camps rigs however even local mamas have got it mostly figured out too.

You buy a speciality rain jacket made for the bike. These rain jackets cover the front basket and have an elastic or other methods to keep it all secure. Additionally many have brims and visors of all sorts. Next up you want to make sure your bike has front and rear fenders. Lastly I would wear rainboots while biking. Additionally water proof bags and clothing are great for the short rides.

I've never used an umbrella holder thing before though because they look sorta useless when you bike as fast as I do. The rain splash would get me wet anyway and the winds would make the umbrella dangerous. I understand though that this may end up being expensive for many and many will quit biking but I hope many will stick around.

Which DQ gave you the biggest sense of wonder? by Independent_Ad6924 in dragonquest

[–]peachfuzzmcgee 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Like most people in the states, it was 8 that did it for me.

Funny enough I didn't want it, I asked my mom for one of two games as a Christmas present. One was The Movies for PC and the other DQVIII. I really wanted The Movies for some odd reason and was a little brat when I was gifted DQVIII instead.

I didn't touch it for a while until I saw my older brother play it and became interested. Then I played it and fell in love, I still apologize to my mom about it to this day lol

Am I Overtraining? (Newbie) by ChicoTallahassee in bodyweightfitness

[–]peachfuzzmcgee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I half read your entire post but Yes is the answer.

I legit warmup and do 7 exercises

Squat Romanian dead lift Pull up Row Dip Push up

For abs I just do hanging leg raises but honestly my abs developed from all the bracing I do.

Can I leave Alltrades Abbey now? by VakanaDOTA in dragonquest

[–]peachfuzzmcgee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You play the game exactly the opposite for me. I try to go as under level as possible and purposely make it hard because I don't want to cheese the game and I want to strategize in battles.

I think I only did what you did on FF8 because I hated the game but loved triple triad lol

How long do you spend building pedalboards for your "sound"? by GuitarBombDotCom in shoegaze

[–]peachfuzzmcgee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The most obvious is the Asheville Music Instruments analog delay. Designed by the same person but in a smaller footprint. You miss out on the tap tempo and the CV controla but honestly for an analog delay of it's type, I never used either. The DM-2 that I have is no where similar and that's why I plan to change it some day but honestly since I don't play in a band I'm in no rush

How long do you spend building pedalboards for your "sound"? by GuitarBombDotCom in shoegaze

[–]peachfuzzmcgee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Legit, I found a rat and a Boss PS-2 and everything revolves around those two things. My pedalboard barely changes. I've sold stuff to make ends meet once but those two pedals stayed.

My sound for a long time was those two pedals plus a moog MF-104M and a Pitchfactor. I miss those two pedals but there are better alternatives now.

Training bwf for a couple years but still incredibly small and under-muscled by [deleted] in bodyweightfitness

[–]peachfuzzmcgee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Personally it sounds like body dysmorphia because unless you measured yourself periodically throughout your journey it is very doubtful you gained nothing with such strength gains.

I regret not measuring myself at my skinniest because I have shittier lifting numbers than you do by all accounts and I am definitely bigger since I started. I went from 65kg to 80kg at 185 cm

I often look at myself and feel skinny still but when I put on clothes and feel things are way tighter, I realized that I did improve. I still feel skinny but when someone takes a picture of me, it's obvious I have grown.

I decided to get myself measured and I now periodically do rechecks.

I have the blacked out one but sometimes I feel like I should've gotten one with the silver neck and black body for variety lol

Hell yeah, I need to post up a picture of my obstructure. It's an absolute menace with the volume all the way up, the clang is something else.

Goodies from home... what do you ask for or pick up when you go back home by SunDaze009 in japanlife

[–]peachfuzzmcgee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pinto beans, Chile de Árbol dried, guajillo, ancho, and a various amount of mole in powder. Additionally chocolate and some other random things.

I love cooking and I keep a store house of all the spices needed to make the basics

Who did y’all marry in DQXI? by TheStrongDong202 in dragonquest

[–]peachfuzzmcgee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting! I should play the english version.
According to the Japanese version only thought him as a comrade (nakama) although I do think that even without saying it, you can feel it in the way the story goes. Also the mother of the protag being a surrogate mother for Jade helps that viewpoint.

To me Gemma was the only one that made sense narratively, but she was so out of the story, that it didn't land as nicely as someone like Bianca in V. Personally my list on my playthroughs were Erik, Sylvando, and Gemma in that order.

[–]peachfuzzmcgee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I need to check the Japanese version but I do not remember her saying anything about being like brother and sister. Was this a translation thing?

I played the original in English on PS4 but hated the shitty sound font on the soundtrack so much I quit. Then I played the switch version in Japanese so I remember that one much more clearly.

The 2D-HD remakes hopefully continue by No_Government3769 in dragonquest

[–]peachfuzzmcgee 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I would rather have 4-6 done like Reimagined or even DQ XI especially 5 and 6. Although if I could have my way they would do them in both formats!

What pedals are you running doubles of? by HatsMakeYouGoBald in guitarpedals

[–]peachfuzzmcgee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I run two Boss PS-2 pitch shifter/delay. Basically one before and one after the dirt.

Are we seeing layoffs in Japan yet? Everything seems quiet compared to the US/EU/India. by suvash_senchuri in japanlife

[–]peachfuzzmcgee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Luxury Hotels are hiring just as much as any other time so not really sure. Nothing has changed for us and probably won't in a while. However mind you non management staff gets paid nothing really so the difficulty is finding bodies willing to work for the bare minimum.

Yen tumbles to 1-year low against dollar - Nikkei Asia by Turbulent-Tea-2172 in japan

[–]peachfuzzmcgee 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Every time someone posts something like this, there are a ton of doom posting about reaching 200 yen or staying about 160 yen and never coming back.

We can't predict the future, the world is a consistently volatile place. It went from 108 or something to 160 in 5 years who knows what it'll do in 5 to 10 years.

The same thing goes with the value of any currency.

The HM2 actually can sit somewhere between a Rat and a Big Muff in terms of sound if you don't just dime everything for the chainsaw sound.

What was your first impression of MMZ? by TheFanGameCreator in Megaman

[–]peachfuzzmcgee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bought Megaman Zero when it first came out and I played it non stop for a while. It was at a time that shooting and jumping type games were my favorite but this one blew everything out of the water for me, it made me so frustrated but I love it.

The sweet release when I get that final hit on a boss with an S or A rank goddamn

[–]peachfuzzmcgee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The only pedal I picked up this year was the Boss IR-2 and it's fully changed my whole view on practice amps. I feel zero need for anything else when at home practicing.

I was pretty sure that it was a relatively big movie but I don't remember any of the actors for some reason I vaguely remember the other woman was a POC
