Nope, no reaction button. But the thread will slow down notably after all the usual suspects have welcomed you.

Ah, welcome, Ava! We have infinite layers, and plenty of feral computer scientists.

I don't know how her sewing machine works... I just futz with it until it does what I want it to do. lol. Trial and error every time I use it.

Oooh~ I've been thinking of learning the ukulele! You got any advice on how to start practicing? Just learn a bunch of songs and hope for the best? Got myself a cheap uku as a gift recently, so it feels like something is telling me to because a professional.

What kind of cosplays have you done? It's been a while, but I remember cosplaying as Luke from Professor Layton. It was a wee bit of a last minute set up, so didn't look that good. Kind of want to try it again at the next convention in town. Also, have you googled tutorials or a instruction manual for your sewing machine?

I'd love to hear some songs on the ukulele if you manage to upload them to spotify / YouTube.

Also, Professor Layton is a god-tier game and I'm going to go make a discussion thread for that real quick.

I learned the play the ukulele on youtube!
It's really, really easy. You just have to remember a lot of chords. To me, the hardest part is learning the strumming patterns, but once you get used to it, it's easier to learn different strumming patterns. :D
Tabs are easy to learn too, but harder to perfect, imho.
I actually started uke because they were on sale at my local Guitar Center. Now I have three lol

I'm currently working on Nightcrawler.
I did a makeup test a couple of days ago....

I've tried googling/Youtube for instructions on how to use my sewing machine... I found a video, but it's over an hour long! Dx
I find it's easier to just fuss with it until it does what I want it to do lol

I have some of my songs uploaded on Soundcloud :)
I'd share if you guys want!

[Stabbsworth]

i currently only really use youtube for song browsing, but i'll check it out when possible.

Do you ever play any George Fromby songs? That's pretty much the only reason I'd learn the uku.
Window Cleaner

[Ava]

Ohh!
A friend of mine told me about George Fromby!
Window Cleaner was one of the first ukulele songs I wanted to learn!

I never got around to it, though lol

A request I get a lot is “Tip Toe Through The Tulips” and “Somwhere Over The Rainbow”
