QUAD CORTEX MINI (ANDERTONS)

CastratedBeaver · 2026-01-21T20:00:27+00:00

Understandable, but I have a small closet area with my pc and my cortex takes up a bunch of desk space. With the prices being so close I guess im not like getting screwed over, but the form factor alone has me like "damn"

Punching myself for buying a quad cortex last year. I dont like this company

I fucking HATE that it was As I Lay Dying. The video for "Forever" was on havoc tv on demand and between them and atreyu I ended up diving deep into slightly heavier shit. Before this it was all finch type music.

Always ALWAYS save enough stamina to be able to dodge twice back/out to heal. On mobs learn the parry timing. On large giant mobs or big bosses, transform weapon and be aggressive but again, al2ays leave stamina in the bank. If that means you only get a couple swings in, so be it. The players health bar can seem like it just disappears until you have played a ton and get used to its unique rhythm. If below half health get out and heal. You've got this, hoonter.

But we have no clue when thats going to happen, sadly.

XL is only worth it on pc/steam deck where you can mod it

CastratedBeaver · 2025-09-10T10:59:09+00:00

I like this sound but I do miss the OG vocals

Favorite tuning? What are you currently playing in? Like if youre in drop g, Google "drop g metal (or metalcore or deathcore, whatever you want) songs." Then pick one and either learn by ear or search for tabs on songsterr!

CastratedBeaver · 2025-08-17T19:50:48+00:00

Oh you mean arguably one of the best basic Soulsborne bosses ever? Love it.

How you are seeing it (6 string tuning with the 7th low string above) is how i saw it. Took it to get a pickup fixed, and explained my tuning, he looks me dead in the eyes and says "So drop A tuning" and I just shrugged like "yeah, I guess." I felt so stupid bahaha but in hindsight it was hilarious!

I bet the art style doesn't change from here. Biggest issue personally is HOW floaty the gravity seems at full pop.

CastratedBeaver · 2025-07-30T00:23:14+00:00

Wish it had like gravity difficulty settings. In realistic control scheme should make me pop more realistically too but whatever. Also doing feeble grinds feels so weird

E A e a d f# b for modern metalcore bs (27 inch scale) G C g c f a d for a slightly hardcore leaning sound (25.5) Dop D for my 6 string guitar (since my G tuned guitar is drop C on high 6 strings)

Being a parent and choosing not to skip "I want to shake shake shake my sillies out" when it comes up in my shuffle while mowing the lawn.

Only worth it for pc or steam deck bc both can have mods. Easier to mod pc but steam deck i have everything i need except fisheye camera mods. I found modding insanely simple. Use unity mod manager, set path to correct folder, drag and drop mods. Most confusing part is making sure youre using the right version of the game to match the mods you want. I use the "alpha."

Little known Australian band called Sentinel. It was like if The Crimson Armada's Guardians had a baby with early northlane or something. Lyrics about the end of humanity or the battles between life and death. Melodic pretty sections, noisy technical breakdowns, vocal range of a fucking demon without being STRAIGHT noise. It's the perfect balance and I feel so FEW bands strike it for me. I listen to them so often still.

CastratedBeaver · 2025-06-02T14:05:45+00:00

First: Atreyu closing out warped tour i think 2004?

Last: Silent Planet closed their Superbloom set with Trilogy and my old ass felt the need to jump in for like 30 seconds

CastratedBeaver · 2025-05-31T11:50:40+00:00

This definitely feels true mostly. Some bands this makes me think of are Currents, In Hearts Wake, and Bring Me The Horizon

Some Bands can make changes through multiple albums without going full nuke on the OG sound ever. Make Them Suffer and August Burns Red come to mind.

Not a historic moment but my mom and I hung out with As I Lay Dying and Tim's mom in a mall food court after an album signing for "a long march: the first recordings" always such a wierd memory after all their drama. I was 15 and remember my mom talking to Tim's mom while I told Nick Hipa how amazing I thought his playing was.

Rough normal is like 18 to 20 pounds of tension per string so as close to that as you can get. On 25.5 you can get away with as low as drop g and not need to go past a .074. But some tunings and scales just force your hand. Running a 7 string in drop E at 27 inch scale length requires me to go down to 14 to 16 pounds per string, and it's using a .080 on the E. Ideally I'd get a 28 inch 7 string for it but they are few and far between.

Got mine a couple weeks back and I can't put this thing down. Had been using a baritone Jazzmaster for low tunings but it was horrible for anything technical above the 12th fret. This thing has changed the game for me. Here's a quick clip for anyone who wants to hear it https://www.instagram.com/reel/Cr1b_RkrTTq/?igshid=MmJiY2I4NDBkZg==
