    How hard should I pressing (counter-pressing?) with my thumb?

    very little. just enough to stabilize the neck

    Yeah, I think I may be doing something wrong here, or maybe Donk's point about calluses is just something I need work on.

    it is 100% the case that people learning how to play stringed instruments press too hard

    definitely developing callouses makes it easier not to

    Yeah, I can feel some definite discomfort from my thumb trying to make some of these chords. Luckily I don't need any of them for the song I'm trying to learn before Valentines day.

    Maybe the next gen update will come at the same time it goes on sale and I’ll be doubly tempted to buy it

    can you feel the struggle within?

    Trapt flaked on shows here three years in a row at the same venue (which they kept booking them I'll never know)

    I was really annoyed at the time but then social media happened and I was retroactively very pleased about the refunds

    If it's pressed onto a new disc with all the up to date patches, the game will at least be somewhat playable before having to download all the patches.

    As someone who enjoys physical media, it's the reason I am waiting to buy it.

    As unplayable as the game was at launch, don't forget, that's with a massive day 1 patch. Think about how it ran before even that. Reviewers even said they had patches before launch and it was crazy broken.

    Cyberpunk could have been a game of the year if it were released in 2021. Drop the last gen versions, they'll never be good. Lean into raytracing. Actually finish the game.

    It's got good bones and the story is great!

    I have a new player in my D&D game and they want to play a vengeance paladin that serves an archdevil and they're basically ghost rider meanwhile the party spends most of their time playing The Sims in the town they run and... I really want to meet them halfway but...

    Uuuuugghhhhhhhhhh

    I so do not want to have to waste any time at all justifying why someone would bother associating with the party

    Merc. Just make them a merc for the town that has specific skills.

    It runs on those systems right now. That's some weird branding - if it runs better on those it should run better on PC, too, hopefully?

    The ice is going to mask general bitterness, but you'll get some on the back end after you take a sip and the tea warms up in your mouth

    CP2077 will probably go on sale the time I can finally buy the video card I want at MSRP.

    Which, ironically will probably have crept up to what I could have gotten it from a scalper for back in October. Looking at you Evga and Zoltac.

    which is a great deal for like 9 months and thereafter becomes an increasingly terrible deal until you've paid $1800 for Microsoft Word over the course of a decade for some reason.

    but also you get all the those other microsoft products

    You could make it up to 30 months of not getting ripped off if you really needed Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, Publisher and Access, I suppose.

    Also you get to play the fun games of "is my computer broken, or are O365's login servers down again?" and "goddamit, I already uninstalled OneDrive five times, why does it keep coming back?"

    every person who doesn't like an acquired taste always seems to think everyone who likes it is faking it. it should be an official fallacy.

    Very likely. The box says leave the tea bags in boiling water for 5 minutes. I didn't time it but went with my gut while I cleaned.

    Right, but my understanding is that it looks basically the exact same on PS4 vs PS5, whereas its much better on PC? So the "Next Gen Update" is when they manage to make it not look like shit on the PS5.

    For a home user, I can't think of anything that makes 2013/16/19 categorically better than 2010.

    Outlook, when connecting to Exchange (either a corporate on-premises server or O365), is light years better in 2013+ than it was in 2010.
