Actually hitting it. If you try to play a song like Rush’s Tom Sawyer with a poor technique, you will be tired halfway through the song. If you use your fingers more, you are able to do these faster notes cleaner and for much longer.

If you can find a local teacher or mentor, go for it. But tons of awesome online videos on these techniques.

Every few months I will treat myself to something I want. Then take a break and save up money.

I love that dopamine hit from getting something new. But then again, most of the stuff I buy are tools or something that makes me do MORE work. I don’t like spending $1000 on a vacation, I just don’t enjoy them like other people do.

Right on!! I taught myself how to play a couple decades ago. I started off by playing along with my favorite songs. Get the beats down and get your technique right and it’s so much fun just to Jam.

Online you can search for “drummer-less tracks” and they are my favorite for making up beats on the spot.

If I could go back and change one thing, it would be my grip and learning to use my fingers/wrist earlier on instead of my whole arm. Makes playing those 16th notes with one hand MUCH easier with the right technique.

We just need to come out and say it. These MAGA are all mentally ill and they need help immediately.

There is no other logical explanation for their actions.

This made my day. He thought he was untouchable and now is in a forced labor camp for 6 months.

Dude is just one of the worst humans.

I have completely given up on GTA 6, so this means nothing.

I also leave all my systems hooked up. There is not much i can do about the 50 cables behind my tv, so i use velcro cable ties for the audio/video cords and power cords since those consoles don’t move. Consoles that i need to move out to play due to short cords (N64, NES, PS2, Dreamcast), i will have an extra set of audio video cables that i can plug straight into my converter.

For controllers, i am still battling that. I used to wrap the cords in a oval shape and them velcro strap them, now i don’t do that anymore since it’s not good for the copper. So i put 2 controllers in plastic gallon bag with their cords loosely wrapped in a circle. Then i put those bags in those fabric bins for my 6x6 cube storage thing.

I think as time goes on, i may try and get more retro wireless controllers, but at the moment i don’t play those consoles that much, so it’s not worth it at $35-65 per controller.

Retirement doesn’t exist anymore.

Yeah, i got my original DMG refurbished and working and as terrible as the screen is, i don’t want to change it. It’s the first gameboy ever made, so there should be a bunch of original ones out there so kids can see just how terrible it was to play in the dark.

I will buy a gameboy color to mod instead.

I mean he fired his personal lawyer in florida, for another one of his personal lawyers to act as AG. The epstien victims will never get justice from republican’s, they HATE being held accountable for their actions. When they do get caught, they get angry and violent.

WHAT?! I’m literally at this point in pokemon red right now. I may try this! Thank you!

Been there before. The Wii has tons of one handed games. You can also do stuff like Pokemon games and other slow rpg’s.

There was a golfer at Augusta national and her first name was Asterisk.

I wonder if their other children are named comma, semi colon, or parentheses?

I should be way more excited, but the current administration has ruined everything. NASA is too focused on creating a moon base which is dumb as shit. Let’s try and save earth before jumping ship to another planet.

Not much the house will do considering all the republicans are making bank while he has been in office. They will never vote against him, even if he kills one of their family members, they will just say it was gods will or some shit.

Nothing will change with these impeachment hearings, but it is nice for the history books i guess.

Yeah the Hammer is ALL metal body while the Brick is only the back panel behind the screen being metal. They get warm, but that seems to be the only downside to the trimui handhelds, I have one on my list i want to pick up.

And he is sitting next to her and grabs her when he says it… Ewww.

Definitely investigate this guy, i bet he has a BAD history. May be some criminal charges in the future.

No one leaves notes, it’s not the 60’s anymore. This looks like a inside job or a setup to paint anti data center people as violent people.

The reality is if you are FOR data centers, you are the problem and need to do more research. No one should be for any data centers to be built in this country, I wouldn’t want to live near one. I also hate paying the electric bill for billionaires, they need to pony up all the money, they have plenty!

The riots would be insane. Republicans love violence.
