Emulation & ROMsCan these people please stop using names from LOTR and stop ruining the things I love?

Did someone backup the list?
I just got back from a 2-week holiday and missed the event, now it has been taken down and I’m dying of curiosity.

So what you’re saying is literally every single girl you hit on told you to f right off?
Because if that’s true then it might be time to change strategy…
Greentext@sh.itjust.works
The first time I asked my future wife out she said no to me. Straight no, I felt so bad that day. And the reason was that it felt unnatural at the moment, we were getting closer and I jumped to conclusions too fast.
I guess the moral of the story is you can get a second chance.

I spent years getting frustrated on the apps, now I’m ending up marrying my best friend’s sister who I’ve known for 16 years and I was always too afraid to ask out. Turned out she was feeling the same way.
Life’s weird when you’re socially awkward.

Would you believe Vultures was like the first or second song I learned back then. What a memory trip you gave me, thanks <3

LoL, of course! Here’s some bonus content and trivia just for you.
As I said the neck is from a cheap 2000s strat copy S-style from a brand I never heard of before or since. So last year I did some research out of curiosity and I found out that Storm was a subsidiary of Fernandes Guitars, a Japanese brand that became famous during the 70s-80s because they made pretty good clones from Fender (they still have some cult following because of their good quality).
This one was far, far away from being high quality as Storm guitars were the cheapest Chinese made guitars money could buy in the early ‘00s.
Here’s an old picture of it:
The sounds it made were nasty as hell, switching pickups hardly did change the tone, the body was made out of MDF, making it so heavy that after 1 hour of wearing it on a strap it made my back and shoulders hurt (that’s probably why I abandoned playing guitar for a long time shortly after they bought it to me). I saved the neck because it has an uncommon 16” radius (the flatness is probably to compensate the hideous fret work from the factory) and it’s pretty fat, that for my shovel-sized hand is quite comfortable. Now that I sanded down and dressed the frets and rolled the fretboard edges, it feels like a 1500$ instrument.
Originally when I drew the diagram I imagined it to be like an “upgrade kit” for the Squier Esquire H, but as an experiment I surely didn’t want to buy a new guitar and spend the least amount of money while having a functioning instrument: so I mostly used spares I had laying around from previous projects, the only parts I got new were the pickup (that I already said it’s pretty darn excellent for the money), locking tuners from Guyker (compared to a set from Gotoh is like half the price and 80% of the quality) and the göldo superswitch, that funny enough with shipping costed more than either one of the other products.
In the end this guitar is like a redemption story of cheap Chinese made instruments: really bad in 2007, superb (for the price) nowadays.

Thank you! I didn’t record anything yet, 24 hours in a day are not nearly enough, but I hope I can do something in the future. I already contacted a friend that can shred to see if they have time to lend me their hands because if I had to rely on my abilities it would be slow af Gilmour-ish stuff.

It looks great for a 50 years old guitar!
Also the pickguard placement over the pickup rings looks very interesting
ADHD memes
Ask LemmyNeither, laugh-track shows are irritating.
It’s like if I’m not laughing the blame is on me, instead of the joke not being funny.

My partscaster: the ShitStorm
First let’s talk about the name: it comes from the guitar that I harvested the neck from, a Storm ST250 that my father bought me 20 years ago for 100€, and the fact that every piece is also either scrap from my parts box or cheap crap from AliExpress.
It looks great for a 50 years old guitar!

Thomann sues Fender back (thomann.de)
Apparently Thomann decided to take legal action against Bud Cole’s (Fender’s CEO) cease and desist campaign. Interested to see how the situation will evolve.
Neither, laugh-track shows are irritating.
