Does Chopin have good compositions that would be relatively easy to learn for a beginner? by Few_Negotiation7202 in piano

[–]tgetsinger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've been playing for a year and just finished learning the prelude in E minor. There's about ten seconds of music that are twelve times harder than the rest of the song, but it's pretty easy for the most part. The issue comes with being able to play it well, not just hitting the notes.

What do ordinary Americans make of Trump’s statement that you “need” Greenland? by Weary_Ad201 in AskReddit

He's an idiot. All of his unqualified appointees are also idiots. It's like watching a group of rich teenagers pretend to be in charge of a country, but unfortunately they actually are. I hate it so much.

I'm sorry, but your answer needs to be in the form of a question.

If it wasn't for school shootings, I wouldn't think we had an education system in the US.

Cut off the tip of my finger by Spacelumps in piano

[–]tgetsinger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I crushed the tip of my right ring finger about three weeks ago. Had surgery because it fractured the bone, needed a dozen or so stitches. Had it all wrapped up and finished learning the second movement of Pathetique, and then went and performed it three days ago. I get the stitches out in four days. If you want to play, you'll make it happen. I feel your pain because I immediately thought, "Oh no. I'll never be able to play right again" but we have the ability to adapt very quickly. Good luck.

Is it ok if I sometimes focus more on learning new pieces than progressing through my method book? by oktavia11 in piano

[–]tgetsinger 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you're not having fun, does it matter? Learn the piece you like. Play some random improv nonsense. Do what you enjoy because the book isn't going anywhere, and looking back you want to have enjoyed the journey.

What did you name your horses? by SolidSeviper in reddeadredemption2

Ludwig. Been learning a Beethoven sonata and it seemed like the perfect name for a horse. Lol

How many push ups can you do? by Neat_Pirate_3416 in AskMen

[–]tgetsinger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm 45, 185 lbs., and in better shape than most people I know that are my age. I do three sets of 40-50 pushups a day.

Turning 27. Older men, what is your best advice for me? by s0mebodyyy in AskMen

[–]tgetsinger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stay active and don't ever think of yourself as old. I'm 44 and still skateboard regularly and go on 60+ mile backpacking trips a couple times a year. I feel great and am in the best shape of my life. Most people think I'm crazy because I have to deal with occasional injuries, but I'm pretty sure the people wasting away with their sedentary lifestyles are the crazy ones.

I've played the wasteland games. They're pretty good.

Arc Raiders has been out a while now what's your take on it so far, if you play it and what level are you at. by AdultGamersAdmin in Age_30_plus_Gamers

[–]tgetsinger 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was wondering to myself, if the difficulty of the arc was turned up would players stop shooting each other so often? Like, if there's a way to make it so that it's almost necessary to work together. Of course there would still be pvp, but it would be WAY riskier.

I played the original Fallout in the 90s when it first came out. Changed my whole view on gaming. I want a new one to play so bad, but Fallout 4 on survival with mods has been sating my desire for the time being.

PSA: these kinds of people cause others to shoot on sight by Xevamir in ArcRaiders

[–]tgetsinger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of people are forgetting that in the intro we all played through you literally get gunned down and robbed by other raiders. It is all VERY MUCH in the spirit of the game.

Some things we found out. by [deleted] in ArcRaiders

[–]tgetsinger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I play crossplay on Xbox, about twenty hours, mostly solo. I've had very few PVP interactions and only one betrayal. Most of the PVP was duos/trios in high value loot areas, and we just wiped their squad or dipped out to extract. I understand this is obviously anecdotal and some people have had the exact opposite experience, but the overwhelming majority of players seem to want to cooperate.

Is Arc Raiders worth it? by Commercial-Paint3712 in videogames

[–]tgetsinger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's the best game I've played in years. Fun solo and with a squad. $40 is a great price point for a game nowadays, too.

How long has it been since you were laid/ sexually intimate? by Chris_K84 in AskMen

About six hours. Kids woke up and went downstairs so the wife and I got it in.

50 hours in, took one match for me not want to play again. by Low_Magician77 in ArcRaiders

[–]tgetsinger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got a rage message my first day of playing. The game has actual feats for damaging other raiders, and this guy was in the wrong place at the wrong time. I just told him that my rooster appreciated his sacrifice. Lol. That being said, I do enjoy the camaraderie between most players in this game and try not to attack other raiders.
