  • 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.





  • 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.

    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!
