[Comrade P.]

I'm now going to sig these three pieces you wrought for me.

[Solifuge]

Spoiler: Yay for blizzards! And Snowblowers! And other people using them so you don't have to! (click to show/hide)

Spoiler: Paths in the snow pressed into a hard crust by many feet: (click to show/hide)

Spoiler: Took the dreaded Selfie while hiking for groceries: (click to show/hide)

Spoiler: Might need to make a special keyboard Macro now that it's worn down... (click to show/hide)

[Orange Wizard]

Wait, people actually use the right-hand shift key?

[Spehss _]

Spoiler: I have no sword, but you may have my axe. (click to show/hide)

Excuse potatocam quality, lighting in the dorm is bad because my roommates are lazy bums who are sleeping at 6 at night and have the main light off.

Also, obligatory "you are attractive" comment for Solifuge.

Also, it's currently 80 degrees and sunny in central Texas. Quite cold winter weather for the area, almost had a city wide panic when a cloud passed in front of the sun. 

[Tiruin]

Could...um, you guys use the img formatting to make them smaller?
The [img height=y width =x] thingy?
It hurts my slow net ._.
^{You all are too good looking to load that quickly
I'm doing it right, right?}

[Rose]

Actually, it doesn't change the file size, sorry.

[Tiruin]

Somehow it makes them load faster here.
That, or my spatial differentiation is a bit skewed due to long hours of recall and advanced studying post-exams, before my exams. XD

I'm normally bad at the comparison game, but will people not agree you look exactly like Zachary Quinto in this picture?

Solifuge's chin is wider and his stubble doesn't extend as far up his cheeks. Also his eyebrows are thicker and he's in a knit-cap-toque-beanie thing.

Is that an actual Axe, or just artistic license for the sake of the joke? And if so, is it really easier to play heavier music on it?

Axe is slang for a guitar. Or was slang for guitar. I think it's still hip. And I thought it was a kinda funny joke, with all the swords and stuff. >->

It's an Epiphone SG model electric guitar. As far as playing heavier music goes, it all depends on the equipment you use to get distortion out of it. Some aspects of the guitar have an effect on the sound of the distorted guitar, like what wood is used in the body or what pickups or strings you're using, but mostly the quality sound of the distortion comes down to what gear and settings are being used to get the distortion. And as to whether it's "easier" or not, that depends almost purely on skill level. I say almost because you can make changes to the guitar to make certain technical feats easier, like lowering the string action so the strings are closer to the fretboard and require less effort to perform hammer-ons, pull-offs, and tapping and sweeping, but being able to actual do those feats well in the first place relies entirely on practice and skill.

That was actually exactly what I was looking for, thanks. I was curious - I don't know enough about guitars to know whether axe is actually a specific brand or model or not, but I have seen mention of certain guitars being easier to use for certain genres than others.

I just play bass in the background. You pluck the strings and it makes a noise, and you can change the noise with your left hand.

[Sinistar]

Spoiler: Anniversary cake! (click to show/hide)

Ahhhh, I'm late! Still - happy anniversary! You two look really lovely. I wish you many more happy years to come.

Also, you have a very fine lady, Japa. Take good care of her, you rascal.

Solifuge's chin is wider and his stubble doesn't extend as far up his cheeks.

Now that you've mentioned it... I noticed Solifuge has in fact one certified manly jawline.

Soli looks quite scarily like my younger brother there. Disturbingly so.

You can also do neat stuff like slap bass.
