well i like that matthew guy
hbomberguy had some chuckles at matthewmatosis saying dark souls 2 had problems because 'lock on makes it difficult to fight bosses with additional henchman, a thing that is antithetical to souls design' when you're not supposed to lock on in a group encounter and the souls series had multiple bosses in prior games with bosses with henchmen like tower knight and technically phalanx

ironically i thought those bosses in DS2 were the easiest (the one in the chapel with the shambling zombies, for example, and the rat boss)

I don't like that people call me "ma'am" in the south, not because it's technically misgendering me, but honestly more because it makes me feel old :(

I automatically add "man" to the end of a lot of my sentences and it's odd how often some dude stops and asks if I just called him "ma'am," which i kind of judge because like really you think you deserve a sir or maam from me, get over yourself

DS2 does have problems tho, to be fair to matthewmatosis

especially SOTFS which has some real garbage enemy layouts

Every once in a while I think about Battletech and I have no idea why I don't like it but the two times I tried it I did like three missions and quit almost immediately. Think Im gonna try it again again maybe?

Second post: Dragon Quest Tact is coming out next week and I was like "woah, a DQ Monster game with SRPG gameplay? gently caress yes get me in there I love Monsters" but oops its a gacha game so nevermind. Also might try out Joker 3, didn't realize it had a translation patch made

I returned to trumpet playing after 20 years away and found a great trumpet teacher, but now I’m moving away and I don’t know if I find such a good teacher again...

Grapplejack posted:

I played trumpet and bugle, and I was first chair for both :smuggo:

I haven't played in like ten years though so I don't think I can read sheet music anymore

What up my trumpet bros? I too was a horn blower in band.

I was absolutely not first chair though haha

guitar fits me much better

In college I minored in Music Theory and there was a composition course where we all wrote songs and had to play someone else's song. Someone wrote a Trumpet part and I was the only Trump player so I offered but holy poo poo my chops were dead, I had to struggle through this huge range he had written and it was just really embarrassing.

Battletech is the best tactics game in recent memory, I love it. Need any advice or was it just not doing anything for you?

Nah I just wasn't engaged by the early battles. Even XCOM early fights feel dangerous but the first howevermany fights in Battletech I won just by looking at enemies and shooting them. I know the game puts more of its strategic emphasis in the mech layout menus but I wasn't sure how long I'd have to stick with it before I'd be able to make major changes instead of the early options of basically just swapping out weapon types

I mean, if you're a successful actress and you go out of the house in a skirt and without underwear, knowing that paparazzi are just waiting for opportunities like this and that it has happened many times before, then there's really nobody you can blame for it but yourself.

I wouldn't hold my breath. Social services practically never intervene unless there is hard evidence of major physical abuse and neglect, especially not with a white family. Often not even then. A bit of frustrated shouting won't even catch their attention.
