Also I'm having a good day, as you can tell.
I have no problem with that. The way I see it, right now off the top of my head, there are essentially four ways to do these things:
1. The Devi era way: your phone and potato quality video and audio. Carpeted floors with old socks, cig butts and bottle caps.
2. The chatty era: "this is the mix knob and you'll never guess what it does"
3. The Knobs era: make shit look nice, have witty and informative commentary in text.
4. Parody/stand up. Aen and Billy Cardigan style.
Some like the mother, some like the daughter. Fair either way as far as I'm concerned. I'm showing off what a music tool does, how I want to. Sometimes I'm lazy and do the cellphone thing, sometimes I talk instead of writing captions, other times I want to put some real work into it and do the "Knobs" thing, if you will. I have yet to get the humor/parody thing on lock. I'm not really a "in front of the camera" person. Nor am I especially charismatic or funny.

Nice to see Pladask getting around though! Those Form pedals look really interesting too.

I think a lot of you guys just have WAY better time management skills than I do. I have no idea how so many of you are able to balance all of life's stuff, and also find the time to post in discussions on this board, nearly daily. It kind of makes me jealous, cause I just can't do that. I've had an account here since 2014, and have like 600 something posts... I don't post a lot.

Remember that South Park episode where Kyle's family moves to SF and people are smelling their own farts? Ya...can't help but see a direct correlation here.
And if you're going to drag up shit from a couple months ago because you have an issue with a poster...grow some balls and use their name instead of being a passive aggressive twat.
C2C apologized...So, to me, it seems moronic to bring it up again as assholes like me will undoubtedly call you a twat for doing so
Fart sniffer.
