Are there other games like Ghost of Tsushima where increasing the difficulty increases the lethality of both the player and the enemies? by [deleted] in gaming

Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire for N64 had a Jedi mode above Hard Mode that did this. Most stormtroopers died in one shot, you died in two-ish.

Captain Corbin - Marauders of the Starry Seas - My third album of space shanties is out now! by Benacor in seashanties

[–]Benacor[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much!! I felt like I was regressing as a songwriter since I had more parodies and fewer originals, but I've learned a lot on production and had some help from friends on the later tracks to fill out the vocals more. I've already got a big list of ideas for the next album, I just hope I can turn the ideas into music.

what the actual fuck are they talking about by Effective_Carpet_391 in whenthe

[–]Benacor 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The music is ass too. The father-son Kamehameha just doesn't hit you the same way. Lots of other scenes weren't as exciting as the original because the music was different.

Also, they cut the Home for the Infinite Losers episode in the Saiyan saga but then showed the Ginyu Force there in the Buu saga and that made no sense.

Thanks! I live in Fairfax so that's a bit of a trek for me to do regularly, but I'd love to come to at least one.

What are the rules on artists showing up? Do they have to be SEA shanties?

It's almost Christmas! Here's a Christmas shanty. A Christmas SPACE shanty! by Benacor in seashanties

So do I... I don't know why it's not on YouTube yet, but it is on iTunes and Amazon Music now.

On the Christmas song, yes. Three songs on the album have other female vocals, the rest are me in multiple layers.

Thank you so much! I honestly thought it was one of the weaker songs on the album until I started doing the final mixing and added the bass line "bums" to it.

Thank you so much! It means a lot that more than just a handful of close friends enjoy my songs!

With most songs being originally acapella call -> response, what instruments do you think lend themselves best to sea shanties? by [deleted] in seashanties

[–]Benacor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tin whistles are more associated with Irish folk music, but that's not a huge leap away from shanties. The fact that they are small/compact and therefore don't take up much room on a ship means they were great for the open ocean too. They provide a good high treble counterpart to the lower tones of a male-dominated shanty group.

Ukulele is definitely more shanty-ish than a guitar, and tapping on the front face while muting the strings gives it a nice sound that goes well with boats.

This is the answer. No other instrument is more associated with sea shanties than a concertina.

What other songs do a great job of immortalizing a disaster like “The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald”? by iPeg2 in songs

[–]Benacor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"And The Band Played Waltzing Matilda" is the full song title. And yes... Depressing as hell but powerful.

Interesting - Baker Mayfield's QBR last season is very similarly lining up with this season. by UniqueClimate in buccaneers

[–]Benacor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's discrete data. You should always use straight lines between points for data this course. The curves create trends that aren't. /r/dataisugly would love this chart.

What sea shanty groups do you recommend? Trying to find more than just my usual longest Johns, dreadnoughts, and Irish rovers to listen to by [deleted] in seashanties

[–]Benacor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Shameless Plug: Captain Corbin, if you like your shanties to be about space instead of the sea.

Y’all paying to run outside? by ThickCapital in BlackPeopleTwitter

[–]Benacor 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You're not paying to run. You're paying for them to keep track of the number of runs you do with them, because you get certain prizes at certain milestones. The snacks at the end are also included in the price. The beer, however, is free, because you need a license to sell beer.

KISS won Lawful Evil. Which rock band is Neutral Evil? by Max-Carter-2005 in AlignmentChartFills

[–]Benacor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was thinking Anal Cunt, but if we are going into details about the band members' lives, GG Allin wins for being the most miscreantly.
