    This is an interesting bit of snobbery too.

    I’ve been a musician for over 25 years. I can read sheet music, tabs, chord charts (including Jazz), and learn most stuff by ear. I still use tabs to learn new songs because it gives an idea of the fingerings, even if it’s just a starting point. Tabs are a specific arrangement of a given piece that at least one person found to be playable. It cuts out unnecessary time considering “how” to play something.

    If you gave me sheet music, I would come up with an arrangement and annotate it with tabs to specify.

    It’s important to develop your ear, don’t get me wrong, but tabs are a useful tool even for professionals. They’re not just for beginners.







  • D&D Chronicles of Mystara (side-scrolling co-op) I think is 4-player

    Cuphead - 2 player

    A Hat In Time - 2 player

    Streets of Rogue - up to 4 players

    Vampire Survivors - I think 2 player for local co-op?

    Most of the old Telltale games have co-op in the form of voting for responses

    Binding of Isaac: Rebirth has full co-op now, I think up to 4 player. You may need the DLC for the best co-op experience

    Crypt of The Necrodancer has solid couch co-op

    Baldur’s Gate 3 has a full split-screen 2-player couch co-op mode. Both players need to use a controller. Works great.



  • I got the Lectron CCS to NACS adapter. Nice and sturdy. Think it cost around $200, maybe a bit less.

    Do note that CCS to NACS adapters should only be used on a supercharger, never on an AC charger. Teslas use the same exact plug shape for both, whereas cars with the J1772/CCS plug have physically different plugs for the different types of chargers (DC fast charging vs AC charging). That means if you want to charge at a Tesla destination charger you’ll need another adapter for J1772 to NACS. Fortunately those are much cheaper, like $50.

    The 9800X3D also has the advantage of only having one CCD on the die, which means it will always use the 3D VCache. The higher core count chips sometimes have issues where games and such might run some threads on the wrong core and not get to take advantage of the huge cache.

    That’s why it tends to be the preferred gaming pick, not just the lower price or the fact that games seldom will use more than 16 threads (which is how many the 9800 series give you)
