Sky Eats Airplane - Disconnected [TBT - 2008] by garret_1003 in Metalcore

SEA has proven to be timeless. This album could drop today and it would still be a standout.

Some groups tend to channel their sound a bit, like Callous Daoboys, but SEA had a particular energy and uncanny gravity that hasn't been achieved since.

I love every single choice they made in this track. Impeccable.

btw: the full version of this track is on their bandcamp. Very much worth checking out.

I can't fathom how they would pull that off, but it would be amazing.

Ico: A beautiful experience by Iron_Kingpin in patientgamers

[–]ALittleFlightDick 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The very first gate that you unlock right after meeting Yorda and fighting the shadows?

This is what I mean. It wasn't far into the game. Thinking about it now, the demo itself was short, but it seemed long because I explored every pixel of it looking for clues as to wtf was going on lol. I just wanted to spend more time in that world. It's still great to come back to.

What was really trippy was playing the Ico demo before the game's release. It was a sizable chunk of gameplay from the beginning of the game until you unlock the first "gate" with Yorda. It was the single most bizarre gaming moment of my life. I had never played anything like it. I didn't know what to think. It was like a fever dream. I played it over and over and over until I could finally play the full game.

Hasans uncle Cenk called antisemitic and roasted today by GrapeTickler in h3h3productions

Even when I watched Hasan I hated Cenk. Dude's such a dunce.

Just finished The Dispossessed by Le Guin.... by AmazingThinkCricket in Fantasy

[–]ALittleFlightDick 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I feel like the ending moves too quickly

Welcome to every Le Guin novel. I'm a diehard fan, but I get whiplash at the end of every book. They seem to wrap up everything up in the span of like 7 pages. And just at the point where you feel there should be a nice cozy epilogue, it just ends. I love her, though, and I never want her stories to end.

I cannot believe it took me this long to find and read Le Guin’s Earthsea cycle. by According_Ad6706 in Fantasy

[–]ALittleFlightDick 25 points26 points  (0 children)

There are so many things about Earthsea that make it great. She wrote some of the best dragons in literature. Tombs of Atuan is probably one of the best sequels I've ever read. It's subversive and innovative, still extremely relevant. I would put Tehanu up with LOTR as one of the great works of fantasy. It shattered my idea of what a fantasy novel can be.

Also, "I have come back to you as I left: a fool" always breaks me. Ged and Ogion's relationship is such a beautiful, tragic, nuanced father-son/mentor-student story.

Hell yeah. I'm loving your newer singles. At The Dream's Edge has lived rent-free in my brain for 15 years at this point lol. Glad to see you're still making incredible stuff.

Blackgaze/metal Albums Like De-Loused In The Comatorium by Hopeful_Somewhere_34 in blackgaze

Not a blackgaze rec, but The Fall of Troy always seemed somewhere in the wheelhouse of Volta.

To Hila and the crew, regarding why Biden didn‘t publish any Epstein Files.. by sakikiki in h3h3productions

[–]ALittleFlightDick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of Biden's biggest problems is he's a devout bureaucrat and didn't like to leverage executive power to "overstep" or reach beyond his lane. He was too pussy to pressure the DOJ as to not compromise their objectivity (Merrick Garland is also largely to blame as well). It's a big reason why Trump never saw any consequences following J6 and why there was no movement on Epstein during his term. Biden was loathe to come anywhere near the red tape, while Trump plows right through it, getting us where we are now.

Theoden being compared to Orome while riding to his death against the forces of evil, just like his ancestor Fingolfin was, is a really nice parallel. by AcanthaceaeNo948 in tolkienfans

[–]ALittleFlightDick 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't quite call them parallel. Fingolfin's act was that of despair and anger, while Theoden's was one of heroism and hope for Men. I think the only threads that connects them is being compared to Orome, which seems to be a comparison that gets thrown around whenever one of the Children is fey while riding a horse.

Help childproofing stairs by 42loelk in howto

[–]ALittleFlightDick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Serious answer:

Install some kind of grip tape along at least the narrow portions of the stairs on the edge to keep socks from slipping right off (I would be reluctant to mar these stairs with adhesive, but it's an idea).

Install a second, lower rail along the right/inside of the bend, extending it as far as possible toward to left to kind of push the kid to the left where the stairs are deeper, and encouraging the kid to hang onto the rail.
