What if I think really really hard. I have big brain muscles I think I got this.

Motorcycle gear. I now know I can buy armoured(!!) leggings that go under my jeans, and an armoured(!!) leather jacket that looks kickass over a hoodie.

Looking at what you’ve written here, it seems like you don’t actually have a hobby. I would have a go at something you did when you were a kid- maybe you were really into books, maybe you were into cycling, painting, whatever really. But don’t just try it a few times then give up if it doesn’t feel how you want it to feel, try turning it into a project. For example, I wanted to get back into reading books, but I just didn’t enjoy it. So I tried to find out what made me love reading so much as a kid, then recreate that in the present. I tried reading late at night, by the light of a lamppost like I did when I was super into books, and that brought back the enjoyment I used to have. You don’t have to go down that route, the main idea here is to find a new hobby, something to look forward to rather than just existing for the sake of it.

I have personally found it fantastic as a programming aid, and as a writing aid to write song lyrics. The art it creates lacks soul and any sense of being actually good but it’s great as a “oh I could do this cool thing” inspiration machine

It’s all fun and games until someone isn’t careful with an after-sex cigarette

Alot of that shit is just bait to get free advertising, to eventually sell you some shit

Oh what the hell I literally played a concert today that’s freaky. OP, you are a very good calendar wizard

I work at McDonald’s, it is not good and is best avoided.

Mines is still going quite strong, paired with a 5 5600x and runs well for (almost) everything I want at 1440p more-than-60-fps

3060 ti I bought during the shortage, overpaid soooo much haha

When I’m writing, if I just listen to the songs I want to take inspiration from the day before a few times (properly listen, with intent) the main ideas/vibe of the songs are far more present in my writing then usual

I feel like there’s got to be a 24 hour KFC or something, surely? Granted that’s not as fun

I predict this will be quite tame compared to the rest of this thread but here you go anyway:

Our scene opens on a person with a bass guitar, practicing some sick slap bass perched upon an IKEA office chair. The player is lost in the zone, all mental facilities put to work making every strike with the thumb is accurate and powerful, and every pop of the fingers sends the strings into the fretboard with a gorgeous thwack! The sound is heavenly, a deep, rich, cutting tone- full of appropriate levels of CLANK and SNAP. The short riff being performed to a concert of no-one reaches its magnificent height, a slammingly heavy riff sounding like a funky machine gun, the bassists hands become a blur, the strings vibrate with precision and power, a glorious cacophony of ma-

kkrrmp.

Oh crap, I broke a string

If your going to get a guitar with built in effects, I would also look into getting a keyboard amp. Your guitar will have digital cabinets built in, which sound horrible when played through a guitar amp.

When using the built in cabinets, your guitar will process the sound of a guitar speaker onto the signal from the guitar. Guitars are designed to be listened through guitar speakers, so they sound weird without them. The inverse is also bad. if you process your guitar signal with a guitar speaker then send it into a guitar amplifier with a guitar speaker, you double dip with the sound of the speaker and you get the opposite but equally worse problem.

If you want to play amplified with all the effects you have, then you’ll need a keyboard amp. The speaker in a keyboard amp is designed to not affect the sound, which will let you use the guitars speaker simulations without double dipping with effects.

You could also just turn the speaker sim off, which is far easier.

Sincerely, someone who couldn’t figure out why their guitar sounded horrible for a week.

YEAAAHHHH OPTIMISTIC NIHILISM MENTIONED

Upisnotjump. It’s just not my thing anymore

My mixing studio monitors, I haven’t properly gotten into mixing yet.

Thanks dude :)

Ive written most of a song which is pretty cool
