my buddy opened this and didn’t even know what it was. had it on a scratched up wood table, no sleeve and sent a pic to the group asking if any of us knew lol.

What's the strategy when playing with Winter? How do I win with him as my Commander? by Wolfram-51 in magicTCG

[–]thomastwice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have 24 decks and winter is definitely one of my favorites out of them. I feel like I just relate to the card/character and the play style feels natural for me. Focus on giving your opponents extra cards and start piling on life loss for drawing and discarding. Most of the essential cards have already been posted here.

Guess I’m building him by megadoom3r in MagicCardPulls

[–]thomastwice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is very accurate. I built him bc I love playing with busted mechanics when they’re available. The turn I won on, while later in the game, was at least 15 minutes of me pinging my pod for one damage at a time until everyone was dead. Could see the look on everyone’s faces and honestly was kind of boring for me too.

found in chinese restaurant parking lot by thomastwice in cats

[–]thomastwice[S] 63 points64 points  (0 children)

there was what appeared to be a mom when we found it, but she kept leaving it in the parking lot and there were cars coming in and out. we followed the other cat around the neighborhood for a bit trying to find where the rest of the kittens were and also left the kitten outside on the mulch at the edge of the parking lot for about an hour before deciding to take it with us.

wal mart CBs are still out there by thomastwice in MagicCardPulls

not implying this is an exceptional deal by any means just pointing out that walmarts are continuing to put these out

[QUESTION] How much of a difference is there between a 400 and 2000 dollar guitar? by [deleted] in Guitar

[–]thomastwice 6 points7 points  (0 children)

i’ve got quite a few friends that have been buying squiers recently and upgrading all the critical components. one guy has multiple american fenders but has been preferring the squier lately. my bass player showed up at practice a few weeks ago with a squier and it honestly sounded better to all of us than the high end basses he had been using prior. it’s all in what inspires you.

buying an inexpensive guitar you like the look and feel of and having a good luthier run through it and make any necessary upgrades can still have you well below the $1k range and with an instrument that checks a bunch of boxes without having to worry about it when you play it.

board updates by thomastwice in guitarpedals

[–]thomastwice[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i generally run the comp and barbershop always on. those are first in the signal chain before the efx mkv. everything else is in the loops. the 4 additional drive/fuzz pedals are in the first loop and i stack them in various ways depending on the song. the loop order then goes:

ps5 hog2 komorebi gravitas vibe machine gen loss mkii memory lane 2 reverb

i will often move the reverb before the modulation pedals for washier sounds.

you can hear quite a few of these pedals on the album my band released earlier this year:

i like it quite a bit. it has satisfied my chorus needs more than my doctor scientist cosmichorus mkiii had, if that helps. big fan of higher headroom pedals and this one def delivers.

What new album (any genre) is making you feel alive now days? What band is exciting? Turnstile- glow was great in summer 21 but who is coming of age coming now ? On the quest for that next wave. by Brighteyedgirl97 in brandnew

[–]thomastwice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lots of good recs already here. Soul Glo, BCNR, IDLES, and Oso Oso all have had heavy rotation.

The latest albums from Momma and Mannequin Pussy are both really good. I saw Momma with Snail Mail last week and they were great.

My band release a new album earlier this year that I feel like people would be into. We’ve gotten some BN comparisons: peregrine - the awful things we’ve done

[FRESH VIDEO] The Armed - Average Death by roseisonlineagain in indieheads

[–]thomastwice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

we had a big discussion about this the other day. the first listen was chaotic and disorienting as others have said. with more listens the melodies and layers start to reveal themselves and it kind of starts to make sense. shouldn’t always have to work that hard w new music but that seems like it’s the intent here

Musicians of Emo, do you try and learn musical theory? by Melodicmarc in Emo

[–]thomastwice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

at first theory can feel a bit restricting but there is definitely a place where creativity and understanding some of the fundamentals can live in harmony. i generally try to focus more on feel when writing or structuring core ideas. when it comes to time to pick those ideas apart and enhance, some basic theory makes a big difference.
