Your equipment is beautifully ghetto

[@chickenmonger123]

mattroski007 That’s a bit reductive. A poor craftsmen blames his tools. A master craftsmen is as good as his best tools. That is to say, if you’ve no skill it doesn’t matter what tools you have. But if you have the skills, your upper limits are based on having the right tools, at the right time. And quality and precision, are factors that make certain tools the right tools. Obviously for his use, these tool need not be of the highest quality.

[@foxtrotdelta225]

chickenmonger123 I believe that matt’s point was that even though he doesn’t have the best equipment he has the brains to figure out how to use what he has to its fullest, and probably beyond what it was mean to be used for. Which rather than being reductive is a massive compliment.
