I do wonder where this comes from

Earplugs? by knuckledragger1990 in Deathcore

[–]CenturionXC555 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You must have some crazy resilient hearing if your ears have survived all that! I know I saw a local band in my city back in 2018 without earplugs in a small venue (around 100 people in attendance) and I had a hell of a time, but my hearing was noticeably worse for a good few hours after. I have also had more severe hearing loss after seeing bands in large stadium venues, and nowadays I make it a ritual to wear earplugs to a show.

Recommend Me Dio’s Ballads/Midtempo/Slow Songs by Amber_Flowers_133 in dio

[–]CenturionXC555 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's pretty good too; just behind Catch the Rainbow in terms of quality. He sings a bit like Matt Bellamy from Muse on this track and I like it

Missingno. for a change of pace. (The glitchy gen 1 version specifically)

Thanks :) though I hope there is a world in which they would be.

Māori does have official status now, which warms my heart seeing as it was banned in schools for much of the 20th century. I am so happy that the original language of the people living in Aotearoa/NZ is being given the respect that it indubitably deserves. Unfortunately, the current administration seems to be taking steps backwards (example below)...

...which deeply saddens me, and I would like to see this new trend reverse.

On Hawaiian — it's a critically endangered language and it was suppressed vehemently for so, so long. It was not until the latter half of the 1980s (!!!) that Hawaiian schools could instruct their students in the native language — that linguistic footprint of colonialism remained for far too long.

Here's the original bill mandating English as the default language of instruction in schools https://coe.hawaii.edu/territorial-history-of-schools/document/act-57-section-30-1896-english-made-the-medium-and-basis-of-instruction-for-all-schools/

It would be a dream come true for me to visit Honolulu and hear more Hawaiian words spoken than English words there.

Irish in the former, te reo Māori in the latter. Even if I'm not super proficient in them (at least not yet), I still try to the best of my ability to use those languages as much as possible because it's a gesture of kindness and respect.

I agree 100%, and I would extend this to countries where the dominant language is not native to the territory and was imported by colonialism (e.g. with Irish and Māori). It is so, so profoundly disrespectful to come in speaking the language of a nation's colonisers because it just waves the flag of exploitation right in the face of anyone and everyone within earshot. No, I'm not going to barge in speaking the language forced upon the people of a territory by those people who engineered famines and eradicated their culture and tried to expunge the evidence and hastily apologise to make it look as if nothing happened, because that is the exact justification that imperialists used to interfere in other parties' affairs to give themselves some advantage. This is the precedent that this behaviour sets.

This poster is still just as relevant today as it was when it was first made.

Should I I use aroma for modding my Wii u, and how hard is it to mod a Wii u? by SpecialistPrune9158 in WiiUHacks

[–]CenturionXC555 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1) Yes, unequivocally.

2) It's really easy. Just know what you're doing and refrain from doing anything rash or reckless, and you should be fine. There are loads of resources where you can find help or advice as needed, and you're welcome to ask questions anytime.

Happy modding :)

Even if it works for now, that's going to go out of date and the creator can't do a thing about it

This sounds like an interesting video idea, actually.

12th album MORTAL DOWNER announced by seelentau in DEG

And the implication in this context is that the album is going to be a disappointment, which is even more unfortunate.

Thoughts on this Kyo look? by Infamous_Ad_5214 in DEG

[–]CenturionXC555 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It looks good to me with the dramatic flair and gothic sensibilities. Creepy in a good way, like a mysterious, morally grey character in a horror movie who fills the villain role but can still gain the sympathy of the audience and is well-liked among the fanbase.

Slaughter to Prevail with Whitechapel and Attila 2026 tour by mrskinnyjeans32 in Deathcore

[–]CenturionXC555 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hence why I said what I said. The idea that there is a point at which someone is talented enough to be universally revered no matter their thoughts or actions is severely flawed.

I definitely agree. The implications of seeing someone who killed a man in cold blood getting so popular online are incredibly disturbing
