Cucked by a Bar Chord by Chuck Tingle

[omorinintendoswitchedition]

LARGE SIGN:A large sign has been posted on the notice board, in full view of all the bar’s patrons. It reads “please try and remain an elbow’s distance away from fellow patrons”

LOGIC- In order to avoid the spread of sickness, you must remain out of the contamination zone. No telling how well your ruin of an immune system could handle a disease

SHIVERS [Medium:Success]-An old lady examining a stack of lemons is sudden overcome by a powerful coughing fit. It racks the germ-ridden air out of her lungs in sharp, painful bursts. Like shotgun blasts, leaving her feeling more feeble than before. A younger lady walking past inhales the infected air dispelled by the old lady. That’s all it takes for one to fall ill.

YOU-You shiver

——————————————————————————

PARTICULARLY ANNOYING PATRON-The large man’s predator eyes lock onto you. The mark left by the chair you just hurled is already beginning to bruise.

HAND-EYE COORDINATION-Okay, you’ve managed to get the attention off Kim. That’s good.

HALF-LIGHT-Bad news, the attention is now on *you*

PARTICULARLY ANNOYING PATRON-A wolfish grin spilts the man’s face in half as he stares at you. Those predator’s eyes glimmer with danger as he analyses your bloated figure, with pent up rage boiling beneath the surface that can now be released upon you.

He lunges for you. Arms extending towards your throat, fingers desperate to sink themselves into the tender flesh of your windpipe and squeeze. He wants to squeeze so hard that you have no way to beg for mercy. This man has no intention to let you live for the little stunt you just pulled.

PAIN THRESHOLD [Easy:Success]-This brute is going to wallop you if youre just going to keep standing there like a moron

PERCEPTION (SIGHT) [Trivial:Success]-So much for staying an arm’s length away from fellow patrons…

HALF-LIGHT-THAT IS NOT IMPORTANT RIGHT NOW. THIS CREATURE IS ABOUT TO TURN US INTO MINCED MEAT.

LOGIC [Easy:Success]-Social distancing didn’t say anything about feet! Kick him out of the air!

YOU-

[Physical Instrument-Godly 16] “Social distancing said nothing about feet!” (kick him from the air) <

[Reaction Speed-Impossible 19] Dodge the man’s attack

⚅ ⚅

Check Success

As the main sails through the air towards you, you ready up another of your famous 360 spin-kicks. You twirl in a graceful circle before your heel connects with the man’s jaw with a deafening crack. He goes crashing to the floor, flecks of his blood splatter the tiled floor and another crack of bones breaking rings out across the bar. His nose probably, more blood stains the clean black and white tile of the bar’s floor

You don’t realize how good Lord Huron are until you try to play their songs yourself and realize they’re 90% bar chords.

Ran my guitar through a phono preamp and then into my Ibanez GTA15R just to what noises it would make.

i just find it so impossible to believe that taylor swift has been playing guitar for 20 years and doesn't know how to play bar chords. but she literally gives me no choice because there just isn't a good explanation for her behavior otherwise

21, 69, and 73 for the ask game. thank you for your time.

omg so formal. You are most certainly welcome, anon.

21. Who’s the optimist and who’s the pessimist?

Kyle’s deliberately optimistic. He’s naturally inclined to see the worst in people and situations, but because of his strong will and moral values, he fights against it and chooses to find what’s good and nurture it, in the hopes of inspiring better things.

Cartman… hm.. Cartman’s perception of the world is warped, no matter where he is on his own crooked scale of “health”. So… He’s optimistic if things are going his way and he’s getting what he wants. If not, he’s pessimistic. That's not exactly how it works, but that’s how Cartman works.

69. Who’s the most likely to hurt the other’s feelings unintentionally?

Cartman, and it’s mostly from him saying something completely out of pocket (see: bigoted as shit) or hyperbolic.

73. Whose hobbies/interests change every 2-5 business days?

Cartman’s doesn’t change every 2-5 business days, but to Kyle, it seems that way. In reality, Cartman cycles between things he’s already mastered (and if he hasn’t mastered it, he will in 2-5 business days) usually in accordance w/ whatever shit he’s cookin up that week. Kyle walks in one morning to find Cartman felting, of all things, and Cartman tells him he’s been doin it since he was seven. Whether he’s fucking w/ him and makin a wiseass comment doesn’t concern Kyle, it’s what Cartman felting has to do with the body he and Butters dragged in the night before.

Learn to Play Guitar! Punk songs are easy to play. Just get a (tuned) guitar and learn the two "power" bar chord shapes and move them up & down the neck. Go start a band!

i'm going to be an absolute fucking menace now that half of the songs i want to play are actually playable for me, ha. hahahahahaha. AHAHAHAHAHA.

Look, I gotta make my own fun

So I was trying to figure out strumming pattern for a song I'd written - and I'd written the melody etc. and worked out key and such ages ago, and then scribbled some rough chords in to come back to later, right? But I'd left that one sitting for a while. And tonight I picked it up to work on again, and I was thinking how weird it was that I'd written the key at the top as "E minor" and then had a bunch of E major chords in it, and because of the… look it's a slightly odd song, my music knowledge is sadly limited in technicality so I don't know why it sounded fine with all those E majors in it...

(this song does not have many chords. It has… four. One of those only occurs once. The others are A minor and B minor.)

But it did sound perfectly okay with the E majors. ANYWAYS. I thought, "hmm, since I did apparently decide it was in E minor, I'm gonna try and play it with E minor, just in case I was a doofus and forgot to write the little 'm' next to the E when I was writing this out…" and MYSTERIOUSLY... yes, it sounds way better.

Hypothesis tested and supported, so I started scribbling the little m next to all the Es and began declaring loudly: "...and YOU are a minor and YOU are a minor and the B minor and the A minor and ALL you freaking E minors, that's right, NONE OF YOU CAN DRIVE. OR DRINK. OR VOTE. why? BECAUSE YOU'RE ALL MINORS."

pause

"Except for that one D suspended fourth. I think that one can drink. THE REST OF YOU ARE UNDERAGE, GET OUT OF MY BAR."

(this is a win because this is possibly the worst music pun I have ever made, I am so proud of myself)

[murple]

do you ever make it 8mins through a song and then have an awful voice crack that makes you have to start all over

in other news im trying to record a full cover of dogs (until now)

Now's as good a time as any to remind everyone the Ratchet and Clank movie, for all its very real faults, was at the very least the first time we got a fully budgeted video game movie that was truly earnest.

No replacing the established leads with stunt casted actors, all 4 of the major characters were reprised by the people who've been voicing them for nearly 2 decades.

No "modernized" (read: rewritten to have as much inoffensively broad appeal as possible) plot; it was retelling actual events from the original games

Almost every single scene was crammed full of easter eggs, to a degree it sincerely feels like it's unafraid to be targeted at fans rather than concerned with watering it down enough so that "you don't need to be familiar with the source material to enjoy it"

It was fun.

I wanna restate that. It was fun.

As in, it wasn't afraid to be a video game movie. It wasn't ashamed of that. It wasn't acting like it needed to "take it seriously this time" or "be a pRoPeR story now". It was just about being fun and something that was if anything less a retelling as much as it was a celebration of the series.
