What's everyone playing right now? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Playing Zelda: Tears of the kingdom.

It’s pretty cool. The world is massive and exploration, especially of the underground is a lot of fun.

The game does contain a lot of busywork and the control scheme is pretty different from other games I play. That hampers my ability to continue with other games I was playing so I’m in a rush to end it.

Planning on FFXVI and a new Minecraft play though with my daughter after TotK.

If you start teaching them about sex when they are engaging in sexual activities you’re clearly to late.

Kids aged 10 will understand what sex but haven’t yet participated in it. In that sense it’s the perfect age to start education. Kids that know what sex is will be much likely to be able to set their own boundaries.

The headline about teaching 10-year-olds how to use Grindr is clearly someone making clickbait and not giving a sh*t about representing the actuality.

We’ve got a populated Lemmy now.

My Current board. (lemmy.world)
 

Up until a couple of months ago I hadn’t played electric for a good 8 years.

I wanted to get in again and found out that most of my pedals have been borrowed out to people who disappeared so I decided to start anew.

The world is like a candystore all the sudden. There are so many more affordable options now.

I got a Harley Benton rocketship board with gigbag, a shitty Powersupply and a few pedals to fill my board with and I’m having a blast!

Signal chain

  1. Tele
  2. Tuner
  3. Harley Benton fuzzy logic
  4. Harley Benton true grit overdrive
  5. EHX micro polyphonic octave generator
  6. TC mojomojo overdrive
  7. TC forcefield compressor
  8. Flamma FC03 Delay
  9. Fender Tre-verb
    • Right channel, dry amp: mute pedal into vantage vg-15
    • Left channel -> 12
  10. TC tailspin vibrato
  11. Tech21 British muffy.
  12. Fender Bassbreaker

I can do a good deal of sounds with this. I might have a little to much options in terms of drive but it’s a lot of fun.

I especially like the British muffy and the mojomojo..

​Canada Passes Law Forcing Facebook, Google to Pay Media for Links in c/[email protected]

User generated links are no longer possible in a world where this law is being enforced. websites like Lemmy, mastodon, LinkedIn and Facebook will not be available.

I don’t see how this could be considered a good idea..

4yo still has main character syndrome in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Seems pretty natural for a 4 year old to not always understand their own emotions. “Main character syndrome” seems a little harsh to me.

There might be some emotions around going school/leaving home that your daughter doesn’t fully understand. Maybe exploring emotions with fiction will help. The book color monster by Anna Llenas was great in helping my son better understand his own emotions.

I also noticed you are addressing both the rabbit and the emotion in the following sentence.

It’s okay to be sad. You’ll see pink bunny soon. You have your teddy bear in the car, hug him.

This can be hard to parse for a four year old. My son is almost getting four and he has quite the temperament. I’ve learned that it really helps to disconnect the emotion from the “trigger” by acknowledging it and talking about the emotion and how to deal with it in isolation.

Him: I wan to brink my truck!

Me: you can’t bring the trucks.

Him: give me my truck I want it.

Me: No, we’ll have to keep it at home.

Him: crying I want my trucks.

Me: Does that make you feel sad?

Him: yes I want my truck.

Me: nohh, it’s no fun to be sad!

Him: booooo

Me: I know of something that helps when you’re sad!

Him: huh?

Me: feeling sad is no fun at all. It helps to get a really nice hug when you feel sad.

hug

Him: smile

Me: do you feel better?

Him: a little

Me: Alright let’s go!

Him: okay sob

We’ve performed this act quite a few times and pretty often other topics pop up throughout. Talking them to their conclusions really clears the air and is a big bonding experience.

We’ve been dealing with anger and sadness mostly. When your daughter is angry it’s important to let her vent. She might need some help to start venting but it shouldn’t be to hard to get her going. When she’s scared it’s important let her know you’ll be there to help her confront it and she’s sad she’ll need some comfort/security. Hugs seem to do the trick for us.

TLDR:

  • Reading tip: color monster by Anna Llenas
  • isolate emotion from trigger
  • provide coping mechanism depending on type of emotion.

Bi-amp with slow vibrato. (lemmy.world)
 

I’ve been running a vibrato pedal(tc tailspin) at the end of my chain for a while. The main reason is to give me a wobbly sound without turning into a chorus when I run reverb or delay.

Last week I was experimenting with running two amps setup and found out that when I use the tailspin with bottomed out controls on one amp and nothing on the other I get a massive sound.

I was floored by how good it sounded. Especially considering the nature of the second amp.

I’m using a fender bassbreaker 112 combo and an extremely cheap and old Vantage transistor combo.

You should give this a try if you have a cheap practice amp and a vibrato pedal lying around. It’s a ton of fun!

I miss the t-Rex mudhoney I borrowed my “friend”. I should pick up another one.

Why do some people still have hope for Reddit? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Honestly: for my social media consumption Reddit works pretty well. I always used to webinterface so for nothing really changed.

I am here because I felt like changing things up more than anything. Well: the fediverse is a super interesting idea and looking at something fresh is always fun.

Still; it seems pretty likely that this place will be a good deal smaller than Reddit for the foreseeable future and that’s both a strength and a weakness.

The main strength of Reddit is it’s nichier subs. There is one for just about anything. You need a massive volume of users to do such a thing and I don’t think Lemmy will reach that size anytime soon.

I expect Lemmy to be a place where people value Openness and Freedom. Generally there are less people that care about Freedom AND Pu’er tea than there are people who care about just Pu’er tea.

I wonder what will happen to Lemmy in a couple of years🤔
