My very first rehearsal with the #bass I won from the International Society of Bassists. Excerpt from mvt 1 of Dvorak symphony 8. Not bad after just picking it up on Friday and balancing this rehearsal and a performance of Heathers the Musical earlier in the day. Keeping busy!

By the way, Tan Dun's concerto is amazing. No need to be a bassist to enjoy any of these pieces, but this one especially:

*Cough* Some other film composers:

- Lalo Schifrin, composer of the original Mission: Impossible soundtrack (wrote a bass concerto)
- Joe Hisaishi, composer of multiple Ghibli movies (wrote a bass concerto)
- Tan Dun, composer for Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon (wrote a bass concerto)

Oof, not proud to admit that I only just realized that the composer of this wonderful piece of music for double bass was also the composer for the first two Godfather movies.

To be fair, I'm no film buff and don't know many film composers by name.

I'm not even a big Sonic guy, but Sonic Racing Cross worlds has had my attention a lot more than Mario Kart World has.

AND it plays great on the Steam Deck

But the night wanting an honorable death is some metal af dark fantasy nonsense that I want to see.

Kingdom Come Deliverance kinda does this where there's a small chance of a random encounter in the middle of you fast traveling. Sometimes it's a random dude just lost, sometimes it's a night that wants an honorable, other times you just get jumped and killed by ten angry peasants

Especially my dad who is a lifelong WWE fan. But they sold out their US fanbase to ESPN, I gave up. I could accept Netflix and peacock because they got Peacock Premium free with Comcast.

Thank goodness I can use a vpn to stick with using Netflix for PPVs.

I think living this close to Philadelphia but needing a VPN to watch It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia on Netflix is disrespectful.

I can confidently say that I'm not the worst at GuessThe.Game

There's a few that I missed that I'm not proud of and a few that I'm sure no one but the developers got right. The occasional more recent ones are obscure af

And its health was way over tuned. I felt like I needed to study up way too much to be able to solo the bastard.

Here's hoping Omega Savage doesn't make my opinion do a 180 but I'll take base Omega over base Behemoth any day.

Support hunters are great too. Better than real people at times 😒
