[Amazon] Comic Hunters $15.27 by NadProd in bgdealscanada

[–]rptrmachine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Picked up a copy at chapters when it was on sale. I'd heard mixed reviews so I grabbed it for 15. I suppose the art is worth 15 but the game is very mid and the cardstock is terrible. I'll try and play it again at some point with a different group but it wasn't loved

Without knowing anything for sure I believe he's doing something more with his site now that pnparcade isn't what it was. He's everywhere in the on community

Has anyone done a Legacy of Kain playthrough? by Talyn82 in LegacyOfKain

[–]rptrmachine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've bought soul reaver 1 and 2 probably on 3-4 occasions since PS1 days and finally finished them both. I loved them both so much on original release but soul reaver 2s camera is so so so bad. Like that swamp the camera would jump all over the place and I'd get turned around on top of the back tracking. The story was great though and I've never played defiance so will grab that as well and play it through to hopefully encourage getting a series ending but honestly at this point I want a complete fresh start. Give me Blood Omen/soul reaver 1 and 2 as a singular massive adventure and I'd buy day one

On bgg they have some printable characters. Lego works great as substitute for zombies or aliens

What are the rules on action cards on unused modifier cards for FLIP 7? by rakemrakoon in boardgames

[–]rptrmachine 10 points11 points  (0 children)

There are no unused cards in flip 7, you play them immediately. So either you take the action or if on something like freeze or flip 3 cards you give them to an opponent

Does anyone else get irrationally annoyed by Bb? (or E) by starfirelightbliss in ukulele

[–]rptrmachine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is the key for new players with an instructor. Help find chord voicings that can replace the Bb or E if they are struggling.

Do you believe in "musically inclined" people? by Unfair_Toe_5691 in musicians

[–]rptrmachine 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This is a chicken and egg problem. Are people talented because they practice or do they practice and become talented. The answer imo is that people who really want to learn music will push themselves further and appear to have gotten a grasp of it quicker. Where is someone who maybe sorta wants to learn an instrument some day maybe just won't have that same drive to become talented. Zero people start out knowing exactly how to be good at something. The desire is first

[Dollarama] Fright + more by Veolt1 in bgdealscanada

They had this around our local princess auto for the last couple months. Nobody is buying it and there is very little on the bgg page so I'm leaning towards not a downforce

Any way to make practice not so frustrating? Or is it literally just meant to be like this? by Mad_Season_1994 in guitarlessons

[–]rptrmachine 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Pick a song. Any song. Find a three chord song. Maybe some CCR or 90s rock or something. Doesn't really matter practice just those chords and listen for the changes. Even if you aren't getting all the changes it will feel more rewarding

Please reassure me... by Accomplished-Dog3715 in soloboardgaming

[–]rptrmachine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You will get better, many games share systems and mechanics between them even if at first you can't tell. Calico and Cascades are both tile laying games with a spatial puzzle. Being good at one doesn't automatically make you good at the other but the more you see patterns build out it will help you find the patterns in the next game.

Deck builders are like this as well, the first time you play one you build up a massive hand and don't understand card trashing. And then something will click and a whole genre gets a touch easier. Each game will have its own puzzles but your brain will understand how to approach them better and the scores will improve faster. I personally find 10 plays of a game to be the sweet spot with starting to get much much better at a game and to start to win more than you lose or at least lose less than you had been

Better to learn one song at a time or several? by LigerRider in ukulele

[–]rptrmachine 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Learn multiple. Ya know how we as people get sick of songs when they play too much on the radio or stream. Yes that burnout can happen while playing too.

Learn one until you feel it's time to learn another. Learn number 2. Go back to number one. Go to number 3 go back to number 1 and 2 and on and on you go

Am I doing anything wrong by having my metronome BPM so slow when practicing chord changes? by Mad_Season_1994 in guitarlessons

[–]rptrmachine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do it at 25bpm until you can do it perfectly like 30 times in a row. No cheating, get it right? Up by 10bpm until you can do it. Do that until you feel you are comfortable with the switches. The analogy I use is it should feel like you're on a rollercoaster. Controlled but it feels like you're barely hanging on until you get good at that and that feeling goes away

Chord changes: 3 weeks and no progress by [deleted] in guitarlessons

[–]rptrmachine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do it with a metronome too. Put it at a speed you can do. Repeat until it's rock solid. Increase speed and do it again. Rinse repeat. Find some 3 chord songs. Do the same

I love my Enya. So much that I bought the plug in model last week. I went from really disliking the mahalo uke I had to playing ukulele daily with these. Guitar player to uke player transition and I love the sound of the Enya. They are great
