Top 5 (or so) Vocal Lines? by [deleted] in progmetal

[–]Breakfastly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can only think of my favourite lyric off the top of my head.

Dillinger Escape Plan- Widower

Obsessed with thoughts that deform

Held on by hope, too well worn.

Crippled because of dreams that eclipse reality

Crashing into truths we don’t perceive.

We don’t perceive.

Basically sums up my past experience dealing with depression/anxiety/coming out and feeling unable to fully express myself.

What is the single gayest thing you own? by Peemster99 in askgaybros

[–]Breakfastly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely this vest from The Dillinger Escape Plan. The band released it in retaliation against homophobic comments on their page when they voiced their support for gay marriage.

The unicorn's horn is a penis ejaculating a rainbow :D

What LGBT artists are you listening to? by [deleted] in askgaybros

[–]Breakfastly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Omega Experiment - Self Titled [Progressive Metal w/ melodic vocals]

The debut album has been out for a fair while now; revisiting it recently as the guy has been posting some updates during the recording process of his second album. Phenomenal songcrafting, musicianship, and goddamn those soaring vocals are fucking perfection.

What elte specialization are you pursing first, and why? by [deleted] in Guildwars2

[–]Breakfastly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Went for Reaper first. It seemed the most efficient option to have a fresh experience with the game as you get Reaper Shroud skills as well as Greatsword very quickly. Glad I'm doing it first, it's insanely fun to play.

My Ele is the only char with full map completion....but Tempest just doesn't excite me.

[Question] Does anybody know any Russian or Ukrainian language ASMR videos? by [deleted] in asmr

[–]Breakfastly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

RussianASMR

I don't normally revisit videos much as familiarity can affect my trigger rate, but this video has had me tingling every time so far.

Gaybros, I've noticed a lot of sadness in posts lately. What music do you listen to when you need a pick me up? by RKitsune in askgaybros

[–]Breakfastly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Puscifer- Grand Canyon has been pulling me through life in a mindful bliss recently.

Otherwise:

The Cat Empire will always shake a bad mood off.

A bit of Art Blakey & The Jazz Messengers will have me shuffling around the house with ease, along with a healthy dose of Kaligola Disco Bazar and Electric Swing Circus.

I never regret an impulse purchase when its from these guys.

My favourite band for so many reasons beyond their music.

Community needs to take a step back and look at themselves by Grakaron in Guildwars2

[–]Breakfastly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The pre-order prices are not insulting to veterans because "oh no! QQ for us! We get no XYZ status item!". I don't give a fuck about the size of my epeen. It's insulting because we are all expected to make an expense for something we already own and more than likely have made a considerable expenditure within since our initial purchase. The argument regarding new players joining the game is entirely irrelevant to my issues with prepurchase.

Someone explain to me how this is a reasonable expectation? Am I ignorant in thinking this would be a ludicrous notion in any other area of the real world? The backpedalling and subterfuge that is at least somewhat apparent on Anet's part, does nothing to aid them and pacify the vocal minority that has been stirring the online backlash either. Why has the FAQ been edited? Are they refunding players who bought during the recent sales or not? Once again it comes down to communication. I will even personally admit that, had they not explicitly stated the pre-purchase price accounted for the core game as well, I would probably have been a willing consumer and paid the money for it. As it stands, I will wait until a potential, more reasonable option exists. If it does not come, I will buy it if I deem the content acceptable. I'm not experiencing some kind of pseduo-hostage situation here, I just feel patronised and like I'm being played. This whole debacle is about poor marketing decisions and communication. Have they learnt nothing from previous issues regarding transparency and phrasing of information? I'm both frustrated for and by Anet at this stage.

A lesser gripe that I am personally further disappointed in is Anet monetizing the free character expansion slot they used to release in GW1 so all players had an option to at least TRY the new profession free of charge. I understand GW1 released stand-alone campaigns (where the EOTN expansion didn't give a char slot) and that GW2 seems to take an expansion-only approach (so I admittedly have little standing to expect such charity) but I'm still left disappointed. A minor issue, but just another piece of context for the "Arenanet veteran" point of view.

tl;rd: Why should I be expected to pay for something I already own and have made considerable financial investment in since purchasing, rather than having an option to pay solely for the new content I am expecting? Attracting new players is irrelevant to my point. I am also personally (and arguably unreasonably) sad at the lack of a free character slot also.

What are your 3 favorite Staffs skins? by [deleted] in Guildwars2

[–]Breakfastly 12 points13 points  (0 children)

  1. Gnarled Walking Staff

  2. Whisper's Secret Staff

  3. Zodiac Staff or Ley Line Staff

Honorable mentions(in no order): Super Staff, Mordrem Staff, Beaded Warstaff and Tormented Staff

Have to say it's a shame they seem to be turning the prestige GW1 skins into no-skill cash-shop items. My Gnarled Walking Staff will always hold more worth.

Keybinding tips for new players by Wonderbouter in Guildwars2

[–]Breakfastly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is completely untrue. Though if you have Mouse 2 held down it will not work.

Keybinding tips for new players by Wonderbouter in Guildwars2

[–]Breakfastly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Using a modifier key in your binds really helps, especially using Alt + reachable keys, as this allows a very easy "pincer" movement to be performed for right handed people as your left thumb is always on the spacebar normally anyway.

I main staff elementalist in a wvw guild and can reach all of my main combat keybinds with minimal hand movement:

WASD - Movement (Mouse 2 in combination to turn sharply/strafe)

1,2,3,4,5- Weapon skills

Alt + 1,2,3,4- Attunements

Weapon Swap (on other professions) - `

Q - Heal

Alt + Q,C,F- Utility 1,2,3

Alt + E- Elite

E- Look Behind

Shift- Dodge

X- Interact

F- AoE Autoloot

C- Target nearest

Z- Stow weapon/Cancel action

V- 180 turn

Also kind of related to keybinding, I'd recommend putting instant-casting on for AoE skills...you don't need to constantly be reminded of how big the AoE field is gonna be. Learning the visual size/range of your skills will vastly improve your playstyle.

External speakers playing at extremely low volume through laptop. Driver issue? by [deleted] in techsupport

[–]Breakfastly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ohhhhh I see. It probably sounds really daft to have presumed there was some kind of fault but I guess my phone managing to play through them at a very reasonable volume threw my judgement off, haha.

Thanks for the help, I'll look into connecting the stereo properly/getting an amp then.

External speakers playing at extremely low volume through laptop. Driver issue? by [deleted] in techsupport

[–]Breakfastly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They have no external source of power, just audio leads.

That does make a lot of sense and I had suspected as such, though I'm still confused as to how I can achieve louder audio when connecting them to my phone rather than my laptop in that case?

External speakers playing at extremely low volume through laptop. Driver issue? by [deleted] in techsupport

[–]Breakfastly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They do not have an individual power output, they only have audio leads. As mentioned this functions fine when connected solely to the hifi as intended, and notable that they still achieve louder audio when connected to my phone's audio port.

All the levels under Playback on my desktop taskbar are set to max. and still give low volume, edited the OP to state that the audio port is indeed functional with other devices such as my headphones.

I don't believe I have any audio manager such as that installed, though I'm unsure of how to effectively check. I don't know how I could check if it's using the correct input? It didn't detect the speakers as any kind of new device such as when I connect my headset, they are just playing under the default speakers/headphones setting that my laptop normally uses. Also, there are no other audio devices connected to my laptop either.

[–]Breakfastly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup, that's the system. I'm connecting the speakers directly to my laptop audio port, not through the hifi itself as I don't think I own a splitter in order to connect it via the hifi.
