I was gonna make a comment asking if the new "young/good looking" meant frail androgynous anime-esque dudes, then I saw his avatar and it all made sense.
Hey, anime is fucken dope. Just stay away from the tentacle stuff.

Hey I'll take that over the Thousand Year Old Dragon Disguised As A Child stuff
They are more intertwined than you'd think. :lol: but yeah, that is admittedly one of the reasons I don't watch much anime at all anymore and why I am very picky with what I do watch. I used to be decently involved with my local anime scene, but I couldn't stomach it for too long. I'm a corporate sellout now.

Also, JC looks more like he belongs in Rugrats, not anime.

what in tarnation is a local anime scene
Use of the word "tarnation" will make you automatically oblivious to the existence of such a scene. :lol:

But really though, (and excuse me for adding to the derailing of the thread :lol:) I am kind of surprised when people don't know about this. It's like Swifties not knowing about local metal scenes. Just like metal, it's a whole thing complete with subcultures and subgenres. Conventions of tens of thousands of attendees, cosplay, crafting, gunpla, masquerades, runways, discussion boards, gaming, viewings, and generalized neurodivergence. :lol: Kinda like the comic-con people but with less chest hair.

I guess JC does kinda fit the bill, but definitely not in the aesthetics department.

I'm sorry, but "local anime scene" just sounds too funny to me haha. But yeah makes sense, if you build Gundam stuff, meet up with friends who do it. Into cosplay, meetup with friends who are making their own shit, too, etc.

What is the point of this tuning? The article just says "cover more ground with fewer strings to cross" which is kinda misleading because it covers the same amount as a normal guitar? The chord shapes don't seem any more intuitive than on a normal guitar?

More marketing speak. Anyone can take any guitar and get some new strings and tune it to anything. But if you're like me, see, you'd use this nugget of information to go to the wife and say, "yeah, I KNOW I just bought a guitar, but I don't have a FIVE string in THIS tuning...."

(Not directed at you, but I've been thinking this for a minute) Idk why people are fixating on a specific tuning tbh. It's a 25-25.5" guitar with room for 5 strings. Put whatever strings you want on it in whatever tuning you like.

EDIT: got mad :ninja: 'd
