There’s the whole “it’s so bad it’s good” mentality, but The Room is so insufferably bad that it goes way passed the “it’s good” part and just goes to being one of the most irritating movies I’ve ever seen.
Add on the weird cult following and it just gets worse, to me.
To keep it soiler free, the specifics don’t matter. I read fan translations of the manga Attack On Titan because I got tired of waiting for the anime to be dubbed or released or whatever. So I finished the series a long while ago.
My brother has been watching the anime as it gets released. I’ve been saving memes I found about it and after the next section comes out I’ll send them to my brother.
Well. One time I over estimated how far the anime had gotten and sent him a couple memes of events that he hadn’t seen yet.
Now that I think about it, I also spoiled Hereditary in about the same way, through memes. I sent a couple in a group chat that reference
the telephone pole scene, if you’ve seen it you know. Not a huge plot spoiler but it did ruin the shock value I guess.
forgetting that one person in the group chat hasn’t watched it yet but was planning on watching it soon.
Like many older fans, I haven’t been into the past couple releases. This single feels very promising, though. I hope they don’t go so far “back to power metal” that they piss off all of their new fans, though, if that makes sense.
Having talked to younger fans who think Talviyo and The Ninth Hour are basically God’s gifts to music, I’d hate to see them hate a new album because it “sounds too much like their old stuff when they weren’t as good”.
Either way, I love seeing these guys still around and Tony sounds pretty good here which is nice to see - I haven’t been particularly impressed by him for a while and it had me worried that he did serious damage to his voice.
That whole scene of Norwegian Black Metal was a wild circus.
Crazy when I stop and think about how damn young they all were, too. Dead was dead by 22, Euronymous was dead by 25, Faust was I think 19 when he committed a random murder because “…I guess he wanted to know what it’s like to kill a person” (according to a band mate).
Just an absolutely crazy little world.
What drives me crazy about this the most is that it was technically public knowledge as far back as the mid-90s, but it was mostly ignored. That man was left out for way too long before anything was taken seriously.
This one gets to me. Not because I liked them that much, but because Justin has always been a dick and I could just write it off as “yeah they were a bunch of dicks but they put on a good show”. An Anti-Flag show in the 2000s, here at least, was one of the few times a punk show wasn’t in a basement somewhere, so it was absolutely THE place to be if you were in the scene. They also frequently had great bands with them so it always made for a great time.
But after the accusations came out it left a real bad taste realizing that he’s probably much more than “just a dick”.
I can very thankfully say that no, no I do not wake up alone.
Well. I wake up before anyone else typically, but I’m in a home with other people.
I have a 100% positive feedback on ebay as a buyer, so that’s cool I guess.
I haven’t driven for Uber in years, but I was a 4.93 (last I can find. I looked for an old screen shot).
I was around Elo 1100 in Age of Empires 2 for a while, but I’m sure I would be lower now (and honestly 1100 isn’t impressive. It’s barely above average, but it’s the only other rating I can think of).
And this made me realize that I’m not rated in many situations on a scale beyond “Hey good job”/“this could be better”.
I think this really is just a personal preference deal. I WANT games with scores and grades. Come on, game, tell me that I’m horrible and that I need to do better! Maybe I’m into the punishment, I don’t know. Played too much Bop It! as a kid and got used to the guy screaming when I messed up.
This is why I play so many arcade style games, and so many rhythm games. This is why communities for speedrunning, rhythm games, and high scores still exist - otherwise I would think I’m completely alone in this 😂
Just to clarify, there is a pay scale. $15 puts your submission in line. $35 puts you in front of the line. $50 I guess means you’re next? Its just lised as the “very front”. So I guess if you’re only willing to shell out $15, you better hope no one has paid 50 or 35.
I can understand that this also benefits from just an onslaught of any old garbage to get reviewed, because I have no doubt that if submissions were free it would be hours of Glenn just skipping through all of the garbage.
I don’t think it’s necessarily wrong I suppose, everyone has to make a living and you have to police content that gets shoved in your face somehow, but I can’t say I’m a huge fan of this set up. Not that I have a better suggestion, though, and I absolutely would hope for a better system than this.
That being said, if I were in a metal band then I would probably throw money his way to see what he said. His channel has a lot of great information that I’ve used over the years.
Go figure, I put the stream on as I’m typing this comment, and he read a comment where someone said they’d love to have their music reviewed but they don’t have any money and in typically Glenn fashion he responded with “then get a job you cheap fuck!”. Which I guess really is kind of how it goes. For a band who is serious about getting input, $50 really isn’t that much. Most bands lose more money than that on many gigs early on anyway, that’s just the nature of the industry. It isn’t necessarily fair - but again, I sure don’t have a better solution. There’s only so much time for people to listen to and review all of the new music being made.
In not familiar with many people who genuinely hate Jack White. He’s never claimed to be a stellar guitarist and a lot of his career was built on this “I’m doing this with cheap gear and I’m not amazing but I’m still making great music and so can you!” vibe which was really awesome and inspirational for a ton of new players.
I will say that I understand when he gets criticism for performances that just come across as trying too hard to be different. His Star Spangled Banner for example. Not that I personally think you have to “sing it straight” as many would say, I’m all for experimentation… but I’m not sure I “get” what he was going for.
I’m not sure why there would be an argument at all? Most Christmas groups talk about food, music, decorations, other traditions…
Not usually a ton of actual arguing.
That’s why !christmas@lemm.ee exists! I realize it’s only me for now, but maybe someday I’ll have people join me.
It is hard to just start conversations on your own but it really is kind of how you have to do it.
Seriously! I hang out in a lot of Synthwave groupd. Seeing bands like Gundship mentioned outside of things like that is so cool.
A few recommendations
Grand Magus is closer to the Ozzy style, especially if you’re into the Black Sabbath stuff.
Cauldron are a really solid classic sounding heavy metal band.
I would love to recommend Scorpion Child But it’s been a decade since they’ve released an album so I’m not sure what’s going on, there.
Haunt are my favorite modern band who I think fit your style. These guys just keep getting better so far
Oh this is absolutely incredible. Thank you 😂
Huh, I’ll be honest I actually don’t even know who that is. That’s a new one to me.
But yeah, OJ sounds like a great name! I’ll start the process ASAP. Absolutely nothing bad can come out of that
I think the most famous person that I share a name with is a very famous serial killer.
I already think the fascination with serial killers is incredibly weird (this is putting ut lightly), but the past 5-10 years has only seen it become even more mainstream. My response to anyone referencing the killer to me, because of my name, is very stern and very simple:
If you can’t tell me who the victims were, then shut up about it. At least have the decency to pretend you actually care about the events and not just the “oh how weird and creepy” factor.
Thank you, it was a pretty crazy experience. Too many years in college and then years afterwards just job hopping - only to end up in the most unrelated career path possible. But hey, it all worked out ok!
I’ve recently gotten into model building, in the sense of buying those sheets of pieces that need cut out and snapped or glued together. like this
The issue I have is that I’m not really into most of the things they make models of. Most model kits in this style tend to be classic cars, military vehicles, or anime/Gundams. Not that there’s anything wrong with those things, they’re just not particularly interesting to me.
But I can spend hours just browsing the model kits on websites like big bad toys
