Also, Sunday September 15th is a Monday… I’ve seen so many meeting invites with dates and days that don’t match lately…

Fascinating

Dragon roost island had such a hooking melody

There were some bangers in that game, Mystic Cave and Metropolis had killer tracks also

something like this glorious image suggests

I did not know that, thanks for your contributions 👍

Hey, somebody left some perfectly good Swiss on this block of wood. How convenient, don’t mind if I d….*

I prefer to be the “dude” and they the “bro”. Might as well spice it up with some incest while we’re at it.

I only fuck bros, dudes and guys.

I only fuck dudes

Also, as Abi you can snack on rocks. Mmmm

SERIOUS BUSINESS

Always

Was using DDG browser for awhile after Firefox. Started recently using Safari Privacy mode plus Wipr, an ad blocking extension, one time fee but the developer is privacy focused. Ad block test gets 100 score vs 70 on DDG or Firefox. Other peeps mention already but all browsers are just front ends for Safari on iOS, as far as I understand.

Mmmmm eating chickiknobs in the plebelands.

I totally feel the GAS issue, (lol that sounds bad). In high school and college I totally got away with a budget setup like you described: cheap guitar, used amp, laptop, a couple of effects pedals, some cables and I was in solid shape. I recorded A LOT! Hell, some of my best work was done with that budget setup. Audio quality wasn’t the best but it didn’t matter to me, just for fun.

As soon as I got out of college and had more than two nickels to rub together, my gear setup had gotten out of hand. Multiple guitars, amps, midi controllers, mixing boards, usb interfaces, studio monitors, full pedal boards, multiple mics, electric drum kit, cables cables cables. Just insane, thousands of dollars. I still do plenty of recording and playing but not nearly as much as my budget days. Some truth to less is more I guess. I have so many toys I don’t know what to do with my hands.

The upside to having more gear is I can host karaoke at parties, jam sessions can be recorded live in very high quality rather than relying on cheap hand recorders, and my own records are much higher quality. Plus, lots of toys, so I can never be bored.

I will say though, I much prefer a minimal setup. It keeps everything tight. It’s very hard to avoid all the novelty of having new toys to play with. But it’s true, playing guitar can be a very cheap hobby!

Yeah, I’m getting ready to stop scrolling “All”. It’s becoming more depressing than Reddit or Facebook ever was. US Presidential Election year rage bait is back in full swing I guess and Lemmy isn’t immune. I might lean more back into my hobbies, personal projects, and games while keeping my news feeds on a weekly review.

Ah yes, I love tech jargon overload
