Yes, and q-tips aren’t for cleaning your ears.

just because of a position they took on the issue nearly 10 years ago.

I laughed because I also frequently make the mistake of calling the mid 00's "ten years ago".

 

Honestly, I might be even more excited about this feature than I am about the Steam Deck. I have a preorder for an SD, but the prospect of having suspend and resume built in to PC games so that I don't have to boot through splash screens, go through menus, etc. would be a huge improvement for me. A lot of times I don't bother firing up a game if I only have 15-20 min to kill, mostly because it'll take me at least a few minutes to get it started and then I need to be sure to shut it down when I'm done gracefully. Add on top of that the idea of cloud-syncing those suspend states between devices? Very exciting!

 

I've been trying to get a lot better at comping and improvising, and one of the things I put together to help was this tool that lets you toggle on certain chords (I,IV,V, etc) in given keys and get color-coded fretboard maps for all the inversions. There's also the ability to add "shadow realm" chords (parallel key) for spicy non-diatonic flavors. I usually practice using this to just throw up a random progression and try to bang something out up and down the neck, as well as doing things like running through cycle of 4ths to hit a bunch of different keys and inversions.

Hopefully some folks here will find it helpful!

 

I'm hoping to find folks willing to hop on and play some netrunner casually on jinteki.net – if you're interested hit me up here or at [email protected]
