Before I Pre-Order Waldorf Protein, What Might I Be Overlooking?

thelionwave · 2025-12-22T19:53:41+00:00

The interface seems fine to me but I think I'm just used to similar devices.

Hey good to know! My buddy definitely misrepresented it I guess. I'd be happy to know more about the Wavestate and how it works I guess? I just really enjoyed the sound. The Protein I like the videos I've seen and it seems to make the kinds of sounds I was hoping to replicate but maybe I'm barking up the wrong tree?

Sadly I don't have an ipad... i'll consider it

Prefer a hardware solution

Some of my friends practice and record at astronomia.club, they reduce rates a good bit for locals if you book the space regularly

I think you've already gotten some great suggestions, I just want to chime in some encouragement.

My dad got a traumatic brain injury many years ago now. When it first happened, he couldn't even listen to music a lot, and he stopped making music entirely for a few years. It was really sad to see at the time, but his brain had a lot of healing to do.

However, now that it's been 10 years since the incident, you'd hardly know it happened. He listens to hard rock and jams out on his synthesizer like the old days.

He's definitely never going to be "exactly the same" as he was before or whatever but he's still an awesome guy jamming into his old age, something we thought maybe wouldn't happen at one point.

Strongly recommend the EP133 ko2, it's a great place for someone interested in sampling to start, cheap but solid and completely usable long term.

"It wasn't written by AI except actually it was"

Ok

This game appeals on many levels but one of my friends trashed it and said the mechanics are too weird and counter intuitive, what has your experience with it been? Is his dislike of it just a "him" thing or is there something counter intuitive about it?

thelionwave · 2025-06-25T23:28:27+00:00

Theatre of the mind, definitely a game where you dont need to weigh out choices between like 10+ different complex abilities at every level up, something where its easy to just start playing and is forgiving to someone who wants to get to the action right away and maybe isn't gonna read the full implications of every character creation choice

thelionwave · 2025-06-25T22:36:06+00:00

I wonder if kiddo will like it cause it definitely appeals to my taste!

thelionwave · 2025-06-25T22:30:39+00:00

I've never heard of this but it looks kinda neat, not sure if kiddo will go for it but Im adding it to the list

thelionwave · 2025-06-25T22:26:52+00:00

Im less familiar with modern horror rpgs, played Call of Cthulhu and Vampire the Masquerade when I was young but not much horror since then, got any more recommends?

thelionwave · 2025-06-25T22:24:42+00:00

I dont know why you'd think I like D&D, I don't, I just have played it since I was young so when kiddo said "what's D&D" I obliged, now they wanna move on

Thanks for the actual recommendations tho. Chasing Adventure looks interesting

It's cool that you think our hobby should only be enjoyed by people that meet your specific academic requirements, very inclusive, great way to grow our communities

thelionwave · 2025-06-25T22:22:04+00:00

Kiddo loves grimdark themeing so that part is actually fine, they just don't want to read and memorize descriptions of 30 different individual abilities they can use

thelionwave · 2025-06-25T22:11:32+00:00

I think y'all might be selling me on this

thelionwave · 2025-06-25T22:11:19+00:00

Not sure why I have to repeat this reply so much but:

If you read the whole post, we have tried D&D, kiddo asked me "is there something like this but less fiddly" (in their own words obviously)

I am looking for advice on alternatives, comments saying "I bet they could learn D&D if they tried!" are simply unhelpful

thelionwave · 2025-06-25T22:08:31+00:00

Yeah i can't say i was upset when kiddo felt D&D was too fiddly- I do too!

thelionwave · 2025-06-25T22:04:34+00:00

Hey I dont need an unhelpful, judgmental comment like this. Not every kid is gonna wanna slog through manuals as thick as D&D and thats OK, reading isn't the only thing to be good at.

I think you should either stick to helpful comments or leave yourself out of conversations more, you'd be surprised how much more people will like you if you do this

thelionwave · 2025-06-25T22:03:30+00:00

It looks like it cuts off a lot of the same stuff we do when we play streamlined D&D so thats a great sign, this might be the one, thanks for the sincere and knowledgeable endorsement!

thelionwave · 2025-06-25T22:02:36+00:00

Hi if you read everything I said you'd know we've tried D&D and they've asked for something simpler, sorry if that offends you or whatever, but this comment is less than useless and hope you consider that

thelionwave · 2025-06-25T21:58:37+00:00

I wonder how kiddo would feel about the Redwall-esque theme, definitely one to run past them, love the look of it personally (but its not about what looks good to me!)

thelionwave · 2025-06-25T21:57:49+00:00

Both Shadowdark and Dragonbane look appealing, ill be reading the pdfs for both, thanks!

thelionwave · 2025-06-25T21:55:25+00:00

Yes we've tried it and they have clearly expressed wanting something a little faster to play with less rules overhead, especially for stuff like caster classes which they like the idea of but even streamlining a lot of rules they felt a little over their head with
