By "some people" he means "Toto Wolff" right?

'06 G&L JB-2 (sh.itjust.works)
 

Just showing off my new bass to try to keep this community alive.

This is a 2006, made in Fullerton G&L JB-2. Read Jazz Bass 2. Their "upgraded" version of a classic Fender design, as they usually do. It has a super light L-2000 body, the usual 1.5" nut width and a slim C neck. It also features G&Ls amazing saddle lock bridge, six bolt neck joint and aluminium tuners. I think this particular one was an artist model (it's not marked anywhere) hence the gorgeous quilt top and natural binding you don't really find on other models. It's strikingly beautiful in person. It's also impressively well put together from neck pocket to finish.

I always liked the J-style sound but wasn't really into the oversized and overweight offset body of the original. I was also impressed with all the G&Ls I've laid my hands upon so when this showed up from a seller nearby at a great price, I immediately bought it. It's all I could've hoped for sound and feel wise and it's a looker to boot. The only thing missing to be pure G&L would be MFD pickups, but as far as I know, they don't make J-style MFDs.

So anyway just wanted to share an amazing find I'm ecstatic to have made. Anybody here also into those?

Ubisoft boss says it knows players think it has an 'inconsistency in quality,' so it delayed Assassin's Creed Shadows to flip that script in c/games@lemmy.world

Agreed. As a game it was one of the best Ubi has done maybe ever imo.

It was. Most of it's criticism comes from the fact that it's not really an assassin's creed game anymore. It was mostly far cry: ancient greece

Wait until you find out about Duesenberg. They made 400hp supercharged straight 8 monsters that cost more than a doctors annual salary back in the 20's and 30's. They were much faster than even race cars of the era. IMO the first relative "hypercars" if you compare what else was available.

And they're the best at all of that.

If you fail to pull Gale through the portal, can you recruit him later? in c/baldurs_gate_3@lemmy.world

Losing Gale due to a failed dice roll is nothing like a dlc that's an absurd claim. You can't just reload a save to unlock a dlc. It was that simple for Gale.

Failing a roll is on you whether you like it or not. The ever looming threat of failure is important in story telling and suspension of disbelief. It's the opposite of dumb game design. So yeah you either reload until everything gets handed to you or you move on. You're talking like he's locked behind a dlc when you're just pissed a dice roll didn't go your way at level one.

Consequences of your decisions is what makes this game special. You're going to have a bad time going forward with this game if you cannot deal with the fomo.

Norris cleared.Transponder didn't indicate a jump start. in c/formula1@lemmy.world
[–] guylacaptivite@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

...Just says there's a transponder that's supposed to judge if there was movement. It says nothing about how said transponder achieves that judgement. It doesn't simply senses movement as you astutely pointed out the car very obviously moved. That means it needs a reference point.

So Is it gps? Is it an accelerometer? Is there another sensor on the grid it has to cross? Is it telemetry? Why is there this much wiggle room?

GHS roundcore bass boomers vs DR sunbeams (sh.itjust.works)

I got interested in roundcore rounds since I kinda like the more mellow sound but I don't really enjoy the always dead sound of flats. I also heard roundcores felt more flexible or balanced tension wise and that's very appealing to me. So does any one of you have experience with any of these strings? How would you describe their sound vs a hexcore for example? And considering I play med gauge (45-105) could I go a gauge up for a bit higher tension and better low end clarity?
