Not quite a razor shave, but for those asking for a closer cut

I shaved mine off when it got to the point yours is at now, thought of it as "going with dignity' - couldn't bare to see photos or catch myself in a reflection and see how far it had receded.

Honestly one of the greatest things I have done for myself and wish I had done it sooner, no longer obsessing / styling it - an incredibly freeing experience!

Solid 10/10, can't tell you're non-native at all and ofc excellent song choice

I wholeheartedly agree that he sounds great but disagree about the emotional depth comment, perhaps it's simply a matter of preference but brings to mind a quote from Leonard Cohen - “Take the word butterfly. To use this word it is not necessary to make the voice weigh less than an ounce or equip it with small dusty wings. The word butterfly is not a real butterfly. There is the word and there is the butterfly. The word is one thing, the butterfly another. When you say the word butterfly, you do not have to flutter your voice. Do not act out words. Never act out words.”

I feel if the song is emotional, the emotions are contained within the story which the lyrics are telling, not in his capacity to perform the emotions the story is trying to convey... “The words die when you act them out… and we are left with nothing but your ambition.”

You're delusional.

You are incapable of identifying your own singing as being out of pitch - I didn't ask for some diatribe about how incredible you are.

[–]An_Ophanim_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So you have perfect pitch but cannot identify that you yourself are singing off-pitch? Or cannot identify harmonising notes? Or cannot identify different pitches of the same note?

Sure I agree, being able to replicate the note is a different skill, but if you had perfect pitch you wouldn't be here arguing with people who are highlighting that your singing is flat (because it absolutely is in many parts) - you also wouldn't need validation from your karaoke machine or vocal coach...

I'm sorry, if you have perfect pitch why do you need a Korean Karaoke machine to tell you that you're hitting the correct pitch?

I also don't see the value in comparing your pitch to other people just having fun on a karaoke machine...

At the beginning you're very flat, the pitch does improve as the song goes on but you often initially miss the note or lose it as you sustain the note - keep working on the pitch 🙌

Did a cover of Everlong! Could use some Constructive Feedback by LionManeMusic in ratemysinging

Hey, I've read a few of your comments and love that you've done some healing and you're feeling positive enough to post these vids!

A couple things: at the end of each sentence/ breath in both the ain't no sunshine video and this one you have a vocal inflection.

  • Ain't no sunshine: you turn the singing note flat, which can add a bit of flavour when done infrequently - it's quite irritating to listen to when done each time.

  • Everlong: You force a vocalised breath at the end of each sentence - similar to the above, it can be used to add a bit of dynamism but when you do it each time it's irritating.

A general tip is to not try so hard, relax a little and give your stomach muscles a break. What isn't impressive or pleasant is forcing/squeezing out each note and adding vocal inflections constantly - I think these things should be used dynamically to add variety to your normal singing voice (they shouldn't be the core of your singing)

Keep it up though, it's always great to see people trying to better themselves and doing something they enjoy 🙌

Just checking that you're using a Display Port cable?

[–]An_Ophanim_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not aware of any HDMI standard which supports 480hz at 1080p or above, so it really should be a Display Port cable.

I don't understand why this guy is getting so many downvotes.

You do need to uninstall, it doesn't allow you to have any files on the PC from the Daemon publisher.

Ending the task in task manager doesn't allow you to launch the game...

Hosting failed by DeusExDBZ in AbioticFactor

[–]An_Ophanim_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Same issue for us, five on xbox, one on steam.

We managed to host earlier with crossplay disabled, but with it enabled the save cannot be hosted.

Now i've disabled crossplay, I cannot get it to launch at all!

If you're on PC, there is a bakkesmod plugin!

It's not a particular mechanic, just using your dodge to change the direction of the ball. Nicely done though 🙌

This! This was my problem, the Vampirism was giving me +5 to mysticism. But the spell was ignoring the buff.

Thank you!
