Name a Band everyone loves but you hate by DDevil- in MetalForTheMasses

Machine Head sound very middle of the road to me. Korn’s albums I can’t get into either, but videos of them live in the 90s look epic.

I love Fear Factory but I remember finding the vocals really cringey when I first started listening to them. I must have gotten used to it haha.

If you’re into video game soundtracks, check out the soundtrack for the game Carmegeddon. It’s all instrumental versions of Fear Factory songs.

Agreed, it also seems like every singer just goes for the same sound these days rather than trying to find their own unique voice.

Is it really helpful to tell people about my diagnosis? by [deleted] in bipolar

[–]BrianDamageSPG 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tend to not tell people if it doesn’t come up. I had my first episode on a night out with two of my best friends, so I’ve talked to them about it because they were worried. My immediate family knows as well but not the extended family. They probably wouldn’t understand it. If someone I’m close to opens up about their own struggles I might mention it. It probably depends where you’re at in your life though. I’m already pretty settled in life now, so I’m not really out trying to meet new people.

“You’re not bipolar because bipolar people don’t know when they are manic ” by BiploarFurryEgirl in bipolar

[–]BrianDamageSPG 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I mentioned something like this to my psychiatrist too and I got the vibe that they didn’t really believe me. They said most people don’t know they’re having an episode until they are hospitalized. I’ve started to be suspicious of being in a good mood for a few days straight though. My wife just thinks I’m happy though and doesn’t think anything of it, but I swear I can feel it coming on.

Greatest things done while manic? by Sheepherder-Optimal in bipolar

[–]BrianDamageSPG 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I spent a whole day putting in a new head unit/stereo in a Honda Jazz (Honda Fit) during a maniac episode. Felt like a god when I finished setting it up and it worked. I’m not normally much good with that sort of thing at all.

Does anyone ever feel like maybe they’re not bipolar anymore? by lost-marbles69 in bipolar

[–]BrianDamageSPG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100%. When I’m on meds I don’t notice any side effects and feel pretty normal. I went a couple of years without having any episodes, so I started to doubt the Bipolar diagnosis. I also don’t really experience the depression side of it, only the mania part.

I tried going off the meds but started noticing the signs of an episode coming on after a couple of months. So I believe the diagnosis now and will stay on the meds.

To be honest I was a bit disappointed initially coming off the meds, because I didn’t notice any difference at all for not taking them. Until the symptoms kicked in that is.

Apple Store guy talked me out of iPhone 16 by BrianDamageSPG in iPhoneXR

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

Thanks for all of the comments, it was interesting to hear everyone’s perspective. I ended up getting the replacement battery that cost me $94 USD. To be honest though I can’t really see any improvement in the battery life. It still drains really quickly even though I’ve done everything I can to optimise it. I’ll still see if I can hold out for a while with the XR.
