    My fuckin neighbor is being a real piece of shit right now

    Want me to drag them out of their apartment? Kick the shit out of them?

    Naw.

    I'm just tired of the music she blasts directly down at me every afternoon anymore.

    I didn't sleep good last night and I'm in a sad mood and need a nap and it's like she can read my mind when would be the exact right time to be a jackass about it.

    If I could find my aux cable I can plug my phone into my guitar amp and show her real volume, I figured out I can't use it via USB from my PC because that goes through the effects chain on the amp and makes it sound all weird even with everything off

    So apparently us Switch players have our platinum locked to the Switch. As far as I can tell if I login on the PC all of my progress and items (except console exclusive items AND any plat purchased) will be there for me to use. We will be able to trade items but not platinum. So I could trade my vaykor hek for your sancti tigris and so on but NOT for plat. I'm guessing that if I bought plat while logged into the PC I could use that to trade with everybody else but I guess Nintendo didn't want to play ball with that part OR there were some circumstances that prevents being able to use plat for trades.

    It surprisingly doesn't bother me that much. I was only going to use the PC login to do trades and maybe content that the Switch struggles on (trust me there are some things I could tell you, LOL). And I don't mind doing all of my trades from the PC account anyway. It's much faster to trade prime junk while I'm using the PC anyway than having to boot up the Switch and login (which could take up to 5 minutes before I'm in the game) just to do a quick trade.

    Also, I'll probably continue to play mostly on the Switch anyway. Switch 2/pro/super/next should be coming next year sometime so we should get a good boost to the gameplay. Also also, I don't play games on my PC much. I try my best to keep the PC for work/professional stuff anyway and my gaming separate.

    Okay so spoiler for my shitty moody post

    I'm really struggling right now and I'm not sure what I can do to make things better anymore. I'm struggling with my physical health now more than ever before and not getting any answers from doctors yet and I'm worried, I always thought, hoped that if I could somehow gather myself up and tackle some things that I could eventually make myself more comfortable and carve myself a happy enough little life. But I'm running on very little hope now. If any.

    Ontop of that I'm dealing with seasonal depression and isolation, it feels like I've got nobody to talk to about anything, and that it wouldn't matter if I did. I've got a therapist I see as regularly as she has time to schedule me but it isn't cutting it because besides here and my mom I'm pretty socially isolated especially after uninstalling Facebook earlier this afternoon. And it's difficult to form real connections with anyone because I'm so scared of being hurt, hell I'm scared of not being hurt but being perceived at all because I'm so unhappy with who I am and where I've gotten myself that I know I'm just a burden on people around me at best and actively toxic at worst.

    I feel like maybe by spring I'll feel a little better not least of which because my car will be paid off and hopefully I'll have some medical answers and the seasonal affect will get better. But I'm starring down a long cold scary winter. I wish I could hibernate like that SNL bit with Chris Farley and the bucket of medicine. But at this point I'm not even sure those things will make me feel better

    Sorry but I needed to vent this someplace.

    Hopefully nobody is too mad at me for it

    Zero people here are mad at you for putting your feelings out there.

    Do you have any guitar goals for the winter? It's the perfect time to practice, all cooped up inside!

    It's difficult to practice as much as I would like given me not wanting to piss off the neighbors which I could just plug in my headphones I suppose but that makes it harder to put on my metronome or something to play along with but I still try to get in a few hours a week

    I dunno anything super specific, mostly I spend time drilling scales and simple chord changes (I should work on Barre chord movements and triads up and down the neck) but as far as songs I'm still kinda caught in the beginning category of knowing a few melodies and riffs but nothing that feels complete. I suppose I could learn the rest of capo 2 (wonder wall) to bring my acoustic to places and annoy peoplem

    Do you have a laptop or desktop computer with a microphone/audio input jack?

    You can get cables for like 10 bucks on Amazon that contect your computer directly to your guitar through the audio input. Then you can listen to your guitar through your computers output and use any number of free metronome softwares or web apps, as well as every kind of effect pedal and room sound you can think of and even play along to songs on YouTube or record yourself or whatever.

    Yeah my recommendation would be some kind of DAW setup. Reaper and the free parts of Amplitube mean you really just need an interface and all of that sounds better than most amp setups. Some amps can even act as an interface these days!

    You have a Katana right? Can you just run the onboard amp sims through Reaper? You wouldn't even need any plugins in that case if you didn't want them.

    Oh yeah that's true

    I forgot

    There are two inputs that show up when it's plugged in one is a wet signal the other is just the dry guitar input

    I'll just have to register reaper then

    There is lots of latency, or if I make the buffer smaller a bit of buzzing but a much more reasonable lack of noticeable latency

    Still pretty cool. I recorded a track of my playing a simple set of chords nice and slow and improvved over it a bit, that was fun.

    If you go to the settings, what driver is it using? In my experience, the first thing to do in any DAW is to make sure it's using the right ASIO drivers and that fixes any latency. ASIO4all is an option if there aren't any manufacturer suggested ones for your amp.

    Some of my coworkers have recently shown interest in giving Warframe a proper go and in my description I made sure to make a point that I didn’t see made here.

    The game is Maximum Grind, but that’s because the Grind Is the Game. You’re not grinding so you can break out of the boring parts and get to the good parts, you’re Trying New Stuff so you can Try More New Stuff. You Make Progress by just Playing the Damn Game.

    I think that’s an important distinction from every other live service game I’ve played.

    Yeah I think that's the reason I put like 7k hours into Warframe and bounced off of Diablo IV as soon as I hit the end game.

    In fact I don't even know that I'd call Warframe a grind because you get to work towards things.

    I mean you still needs drops to build a new Warframe or whatever but the grind is generally reasonable (with a few notable exceptions) so you aren't just blindly hoping for the right random rolls on the random stats on the right item to drop.

    Diablo IV is still the same old grind for RNG drops and I think I've been burned out on that since Borderlands 2.

    If anything my warning for new players is do not under any circumstances try to do everything at once because imo one of the biggest flaws of Warframe has that there's arguably too much stuff you can do.

    There are parts of Warframe I still haven't touched, or barely dipped a toe in.
    (and not just the icky ones I have personal issues with - stuff like Liches and Sisters, that I've just never gotten around to)

    Warframe is still recognizably Warframe, whether you're 10 or 5k hours in. My recommendation to anyone is just explore at a natural pace, enjoy yourself. Especially when, after the next patch, they're removing the MR requirements to do story stuff, there's little reason to binge.

    I started playing Warframe only for story updates when the open worlds became the bulk of content, because trying to give everything a look and seeing the story beats started to feel kinda like a big mess of the dullest sort of grinding. I'm not sure I've ever seen everything on the Plains of Eidolon, much less anywhere else.

    And the other thing that was fun for me, farming out Warframes and weapons, feels duller once I'm playing less often. Since really, if you're putting effort into that it means you're wasting time on the subpar version of stuff, since only relic grinding and opening gives you good stuff, and the next time I fire the game up there's a decent chance the prime will already be out. Still feel like mastery or ownership of base units should be necessary for Primes.

    Depends on if you're being sherpa'd or not, I guess. The friend I had that tried it definitely had to take a pause to do some grinding. Buuuut I think they've also decreased the requirements since then, too, so maybe their experience is out of date.

    My experience with Warframe is definitely open-world tangential. I do some open world content (it can be enjoyable), but my tolerance is pretty low. It's the grindiest of Warframe content, and in many ways too grindy for me. Especially the "end game content" like Eidolons, but also to some extent the "Gotta get them all" when it starts to involve Liches/sisters and repeated grinds for +1% more elemental damage.

    It's a lot easier when you wait until the end is close, you have a ton of tasks that keep refreshing as you do them. It's both easier to pick and choose, but you can select tasks that complete multiple challenges in one mission. It's not always an option, but frequently when you have the entire chapter as a backlog.

    The risk with that is getting soft locked to daily resets on "complete 3 Sorties" and "Scan 5 Simaris targets" and I think you can only get three refreshed weeklies active at a time.

    Probably the thing I'm most excited for with Whispers is the system that will let you break down Arcanes and spend it on essentially Arcane loot boxes based on where they're acquired. So those 300 excess Steel Path Arcanes can all become shots at Energize.
