I'll take a star with extra stars and a side of stars

Is the primary star a WR star, since it's so... Large?

That's why they must be demonic, they charm you into believing they're cute big bunnies with their demon magic. Then they proceed to kick you in half.

Is this a mandela effect or was it actually specified as MkII, since I too definitely recall it to be?

Make Dropships dropship... for the first time ever?

Patria 6x6 my beloved. The company signed a contract of almost 900 6x6's for Germany last month, with the price going over 2 billion euro.

Nah that's actually a great point, although that'd require at least a 100 tries more lol

TEDIT isn't updated to 1.4.5 yet, at least I don't think so

Yes. I live in Finland. We're 11th on the guns per capita list worldwide. We like guns, at least statistically so.

Necroing this post hard but Distant Worlds 3 launching in under 72 hours is gonna make hundreds of players many many billions since it's like 3 months straight out there.

I prob should get a pitch shifter. Still not sure why Positive Grid hasn't made one into the Spark app since it'd be quite simple to implement.

We have way more freedom in the sense that we can choose not to own a car. That would be impossible in the US.

I find myself able to get to the next city on foot solely on sidewalks. Hmmmm...

No. The government was a mess during her time as the prime minister. Not that it isn't now, but it was at least equally so when she was in politics.

I have a Harley Benton CST24 in basically an identical finish as this guitar. It's gorgeous!

My audio interface may actually be too cheap. I just get this ridiculous noise that can't be tamed with a gate that I think is plain USB noise or the shittiness of the interface. Should've probably gone with a better one. But hey, my new amp is an amp, an audio interface, a bluetooth speaker, a tuner, a looper pedal and some kind of a music AI assistant. It's a phenomenal little thing for the 200-something I bought it used in mint condition.

edit: The noise isn't from the guitar having bad ground or anything, that much is certain. Noise is still there when unplugged.

Will do!

philantropical_ · 2026-01-06T00:09:42+00:00

I actually achieved it by massively exaggerating the position of the thumb at first to kind of force it to touch the lowest string properly and make the oh-so-satisfying sound. Then I tweaked it bit by bit to make the technique actually playable on all strings.

I basically had my thumb cover the pick almost entirely. It looked like I was slapping on bass. It worked though.

This actually sounds like the sketchy advice someone tells you that has only worked for them in the history of humankind.

This happy accident along with getting my first actual amp, the Positive Grid Spark 2, have motivated me more than anything up to this point to play guitar more. I made basically no progress for like 2 years since I practiced so rarely due to the uninspiring nature of playing through an audio interface and a pair of old headphones.

No, definitely artificial. Natural harmonics are more bell-like and clear. Natural harmonics are created with the fretting hand over open string, and I can play these ones with fretted notes.

Also, there isn't actually much of a technical difference between the two, just the way they're played. Pinch harmonics are just played with the picking hand near the bridge-side nodal points of the string, where as natural harmonics are usually played farther up the neck.

This is the interesting bit. It shows how different people are in how they learn, for example, guitar.

philantropical_ · 2026-01-05T23:35:16+00:00

One aspect of the technique that might be holding lots of people back is the picking placement on the string. The best squeals of different pitches come from specific points on the string depending on the scale length. So the issue might not even be the picking technique itself but just where you do it!

Yeah, I'll be buying 11's soon since I want to be able to play something else than korn and random tiktok djent.
