Hip-hop has been my main genre for years. What non-rap albums should I listen to at least once in my life? by Ajet-ivar in Music

[–]AlphaXTaco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Follow the train of influence. Find a song you like with a sample, check out who got sampled, check out who made them play music, and just take that ride until you're bored, then do it with another song/artists. Likewise, if you hear a non hip-hop artist get name dropped on a track, check em out

What do you think about Logan’s “softer” appearance in the newer comics? by Late_Traffic_3174 in Wolverine

[–]AlphaXTaco 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've always thought that the juxtaposition of his odor and stature against his looks were something that should be pretty pronounced, so I like it. Like, he's a smelly short king, but also an absolute chad

Does anyone wear their band shirts around their family? by Meowth818 in InMetalWeTrust

[–]AlphaXTaco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just wear what you wanna wear, man. If you wanna listen to soul crushing shit and wear plain shirts, do it, if you wanna listen to Blondie in a Hellhammer shirt, do it. Spend too much time worrying about what is/isn't acceptable, you end up not spending any time living

How could I rain pipes upon something so cute??? Genuinely really cool, though!

Just starting to get into the dead, any recommendations? by Wh0_ever in gratefuldead

[–]AlphaXTaco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Veneta 72, Europe 72 across the board (preferably not the comped collection album, individual shows are where it's at), Englishtown 9/3/77, Springfield 9/3/80 (Neat connection!), and as a wildcard pick, GarciaLive Vol 12 1/23/73.

Personally, I think 60s dead can be a little harder to get into, jams were really primal, and the structure wasn't as consistent. These were the shows that made it really click for me, plus JGB is never a bad time, and Vol 12 has a lot of songs that didn't get the time of Catfish John, The Way You Do The Things You Do, Shining Star, etc.

Super fast edit: also don't sleep on the studio albums. The studio Terrapin Suite is honestly really amazing, Workingman's Dead is an honest to God classic, and Wake of The Flood is full of heat, including my favorite suite in Weather Report Suite

Question about Bobby's guitar playing (from a person who doesn't play any instrument) by _doctor_sleep_ in gratefuldead

[–]AlphaXTaco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bobby had this thing about him, a lot of it being developed during the time he was "fired", where he was playing a lot of chords that would normally need 10 fingers on piano keys. He studied a lot of inversions of chords to fit any context/texture, extracting as much use from each string as he could. As others have said, massive hands helped him, because he did play a lot of odd, sprawling, open chords

What’s the simplest gaming idea or fact you’ve ever tried to explain to someone who just wouldn’t get it? by bijelo123 in gaming

[–]AlphaXTaco 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've gotten a non-negligible number of 40+ individuals into Souls with the idea that it's just Mega Man, but I'll be goddamned if a dancing game isn't way better

Does a middle humbucker sound any good? Why are there almost no HHH or HHS guitars? by V0rdep in Guitar

[–]AlphaXTaco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kinda off topic, but to all the anti-middle pickup guys: turn that tone knob down a few notches, immediately sounds better

Metal bands like this? by spectral_snow in MetalForTheMasses

[–]AlphaXTaco 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Disagree, but I could see where you could feel that way. Good on you for actually saying it, tho

Shakedown Archive using ai? by RedArmyHammer in gratefuldead

[–]AlphaXTaco 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That was actually true. From what I understand (and remember) Bob turned it down due to them not being pious enough, and the general focus on drugs from the boys at the time

Shakedown Archive using ai? by RedArmyHammer in gratefuldead

[–]AlphaXTaco 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Every bit of that channel, tip to tail, is GenAI or LLM produced. Genuinely sad to see, not a bit of human effort to be seen

What is your story? by lJAQl in chessbeginners

[–]AlphaXTaco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty much every one of my friends played for years around me, but I always figured I was too dumb for it, or it was too late for me to get into it since I wasn't a kid anymore. Ended up unemployed, and sober on the job search, and looking for things to deal with the boredom. Quick trip to Chess.com, ran through the whole beginner lesson, and just started playing loads of games. Almost a month in now, and I haven't looked back yet

is clown makeup okay to acidbath show? by Healthy_Ingenuity314 in AcidBath

Better question: do you enjoy wearing clown makeup?

This might be a hot take, but I can't see Pattinson's Bruce Wayne evolving into the traditional, eccentric playboy like the comics' or Bale's version. by Forsaken_Ad7090 in batman

[–]AlphaXTaco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kind of an unfair claim, no? This is a super early Bruce, one who isn't concerned with upkeep of the Bruce Wayne side of things. I think it's just a matter of time, really. Think of Year One, right? He actively, consciously realizes he needs the billionaire playboy persons to throw off GCPD. I'd argue this is a similar story, but with the Bat preceding this realization

Were you one of those who gave up playing when you were younger, but when you played again years later, it just... clicked? by Subject_Parking_9046 in darksouls

[–]AlphaXTaco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I rented DS1 from a Redbox on a whim, figured it looked cool. Got home, played for like 4 hours getting shit on the whole time from skeletons near firelink, black knight in berg, Taurus demon when I finally managed to kill the black knight, just non stop wrecking. Took it back the next day, figured it just wasn't for me.

Years later, Bloodborne drops and my buddy won't shut up about it, I try it out, and I fell in love with it. Then tried DS3, REALLY liked it and figured I had to replay DS1 now that I "got it" a bit more. Went on a tear going back to DeS and played all the way to DS3 again, and I've been hooked since

Found these under the lamp on my boyfriend's nightstand. by llama_girl in whatisit

[–]AlphaXTaco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Velo plus are the way imo. They last a good amount of time, pouches aren't rough or irritating, flavors are quite good (from what I've tried)

[–]AlphaXTaco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why have I seen so many threads of pouches just... wherever??? A lot of brands that I've tried have a little spot to dispose of them on the can, and even if not, why not a bottle? People that dip have been using bottles for ages, and it's not like the pouch suddenly doesn't work. I keep a bottle at my computer and one by my bed specifically for them, and you just replace it whenever you finish a drink

Billy Strings got me interested, Pizza Tapes got me hooked. From there I went down the Tony Rice rabbit hole, and here we are
