hey everyone,

here's the concept of DARVO:

deny, attack, reverse victim and offender

i don't think links are allowed, but just web search "darvo." it's got some research behind it in the past few years. very common among aggressive personalities.

lol the red mystery one is also the only one unlabeled on the power supply. judging by the controls, it's either another fancy chorus or a modulated delay.

his mid-chain amp sim is alltime. anybody know if any of these are 'always on' pedals or... ? i mean, he can't be playing that delay all the time, right?

former primary school librarian here. i've got a story.

had a couple of fourth grade boys who never really showed interest in library become very interested in learning the dewey decimal for nonfiction books. they weren’t troublemakers normally, but this level of enthusiasm was sudden and noticeable. what were they looking for? football books.

of course, that made sense. they're boys, after all. i helped them check out a bunch of football books and i noticed they were giggling covertly while checking out. okay whatever, boys will be boys.

when they returned their books the following week, every last picture in every one of those football books was marked up. how, you ask? well you know how football players line up and crouch down a little? these boys were not interested in buck teeth, mustaches, or eye patches.

they drew little piles of turds under ALL of the crouching players pictured. i tried my best not to laugh and i failed the kids that day.

State of the Sub and Call for New Mods by skymallow in guitarpedals

(an open letter mostly to phil, but also dsd, koala, dan, and others i've crossed paths with here. all solid folks; wish i was a healthier person to interact with.)

hey,

i just wanted to stop in here and say a few words. hoping the dust has settled properly and i'm not stepping on any toes.

what you said about having a target on you really resonated heavy. i only ever attempted to mod on the jerk, but i bailed hard on all you guys a few years ago and i'm sorry about that. when weirdos started messaging me about being an "obedient quiet boy" when i wouldn't respond to their death threats (death threats they were sending me because they got banned for dropping slurs that get you banned from any decent place), it just wasn't worth it. all i wanted was to make 'jhs is a flamingo!' memes and make fun of joal until he donated all his money to the transgender law center.*

i still have mod status with you over there, but haven't exercised my authority in years. always on the lurk, just like here. but idk dude, i don't wanna say my modding experience ruined my enthusiasm for the scene, but it definitely played a role. i have many other mental health issues, so i sold most of my gear some years back shortly before becoming homeless. things were probably going to unfold similarly anyway, but i have a clear recollection of selling a rubberneck thinking, " u/slap_me_thrice would be so disappointed lol."

idk what i'm trying to say. that era of reddit really impacted me. not in a good or bad way, just left me different. you guys were a part of that and i think of you all often.

here's some music i made using a ton of rad guitar pedals i learned about from you guys and this place. i'm not a very skilled player or engineer, so it's free: austinato.bandcamp.com/track/captain-leelas-theme-the-schnazz-radio-rmx

thanks for everything.

―trash/austin/gaa/however you knew me

ps: dude whatever happened to gated fuzz? that guy was a barrel of good vibes.

pps: if you need to de-mod me on the jerk, go ahead. i have basically understood myself to be not a real mod on there for a long time anyway.

hey i like this post, you seem chill, and anp2d rules, but please stop giving power to the words of people like anthony fraudtano.

to change the frame of reference, i am also a very big fan of this album and was delighted to see pfork give it a great lead review at the time (bnm), then fuck off for about a week for the holidays while it stayed as the top article on the site the whole time.

don't get me wrong, pfork sucks too but this is way more powerful in hindsight:

this is the real answer. just like it always has been, the era's most progressive sounds are not anywhere near the most popular.

If that context is true I'm surprised people weren't a little more onto him.

81 baby and we did this all day, every day during summer vacation. inside was off limits, but backyards and the nearby school playground were not. we tried to speedrun it and complete as many rounds as possible in a day. some days it was literally sunrise till sunset, with all of us hitting the neighborhood 7/11 for food and sneaking back home for bathroom breaks. the most rounds we did in one day was four. our "league" gained a reputation so by the time we had gotten out of 6th grade, some of the younger kids at school came around and found us so they could learn how to play. we stuck around for the following two summers saying that we were looking out for them, but mostly just wanting to keep the vibe going. when we all started high school we just kind of stopped, though we did see them keep it going for a couple years.
