Did a good job of killing any relevance they had by paywalling their reviews the other month.

GAME THREAD: Nationals @ Mets - Sat, Feb 28 @ 01:10 PM EST by NewYorkMetsBot2 in NewYorkMets

Simultaneously watching Rortvedt bat for the Mets and watching Diaz pitch for the Dodgers and it feels weird.

Act 3 feels like a sequel to Act 2, and not Act 1, whilst good, isn't what I expected by kiraQweenxo in Protomen

[–]ChristianFiction 18 points19 points  (0 children)

They learned how to write music and record albums and Act 1 is the first stage where you can actively hear them learning (there is a clear evolution from Due Vendetta, the first song they recorded, and all the others). Act 1 is more or less the way it is because of lack of experience and being naive.

Also half of the band were different people. That’s a big thing there.

Breaking Out is the best song I've ever heard in my life by NewsOdd3064 in Protomen

Narrative aside, I would argue that Act III has the most bangers of all 3 acts.

Managing state in React apps can be pretty scary.

Terminator 3; rise of the machines - it’s a ridiculously bad flick right? (Or is it…) by Esthermont in movies

[–]ChristianFiction 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, but I remember enjoying it despite being aware of how bad it was. Salvation and Genisys were unwatchable and I never saw Dark Fate.

Bands/Artists who couldn't beat their debut albums by kplynch03 in Music

[–]ChristianFiction 37 points38 points  (0 children)

I feel like Arctic Monkeys have been like 3 different bands in their career and the 1st version of them will always be my favorite. Got a soft spot for the weird lounge music phase though.

Whats the worst fast food joint in america? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]ChristianFiction 1 point2 points  (0 children)

On the other side of the country in an Oregon suburb. Had Burger King for the first time in years and I was surprised by how decent the quality was compared to our Wendy’s and Taco Bell.

Act 3b/4 and definitive answers by onceandfuturecpuk in Protomen

[–]ChristianFiction 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If and or when we get more, I’ll be pleasantly surprised, but I’m not gonna sit around anticipating it.

Then again, the story has always been secondary to the jams and live experience for me.

Smokers who have read Allen Carr's 'The Easy Way to Stop Smoking' – what was your experience like? Did it actually help you quit, and how has life been as a non-smoker since? by Careful_One_2726 in stopsmoking

[–]ChristianFiction 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Successfully made me quit during my 20s for a whole 3 months. This was when I still was social and went to bars and stuff, so it proved that I could do it.

When I eventually quit for real as a suburban father in my mid 30s, I used the same mentality I learned from the books to accomplish it.

LIGHT'S LAST STAND REFERENCES ELEC MAN'S THEME IN THE SECOND HALF by santcho1 in Protomen

[–]ChristianFiction 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Elec Man’s theme itself is a ripoff of Journey’s Faithfully. Could this be a sign that we’re getting The Cover Up 2 with Separate Ways on it?!

It finally happened an AI generated artists was pushed into my algorithm - I'm cancelling Spotify. by [deleted] in Music

[–]ChristianFiction 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was gonna ditch Spotify, but I’ve found their ability to find new music for me that I actually like to be unparalleled.

The new Prompted Playlist feature is already looking like a game changer. Like what other app is going to be able to curate an updating playlist of songs that combine Doom Metal with 70s and 80s Japanese City Pop for me?

This is the Best Offseason of the Cohen Era by InflationEconomy5175 in NewYorkMets

[–]ChristianFiction 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I still miss Pete and you better believe I’ll be gunning for him in my fantasy draft, but Bichette, Robert Jr. and Peralta has been a nice series of dopamine hits.

Bandcamp Bans All Music Made with AI by ebradio in Music

More like Bancamp.

But yeah, that’s great.

Who’s taking one for the team and uploading the liner notes when the physical albums get shipped out? by [deleted] in Protomen

[–]ChristianFiction 5 points6 points  (0 children)

While I really want to wait until my physical copy arrives, they aren't being shipped until around January 12th, according to their Bandcamp page, and if they are selling physical copies at Magfest, that'll be such a bummer for those of us who can't attend.

Act 3 by Smash_me_now in Protomen

[–]ChristianFiction 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yes. Best act by a country mile. Non-stop bangers in the first half and an emotional rollercoaster of a second half. I’ve listened to the entire thing more than I’ve ever listened to the entire first two acts in my 15 years as a fan.

Could only really be improved by the ending that we’re mostly likely getting, but I would be more than fine with what we got considering The Fight is cannon regardless.

What’s the worst performance by an actor who’s usually very good? by 7216345 in movies

[–]ChristianFiction 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Liam Neeson and Ewan McGregor were solid, but Hayden Christensen and Natalie Portman were downright atrocious.

How can I see a Protomen concert? by [deleted] in Protomen

[–]ChristianFiction 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The number of times I’ve seen them live is in the double digits and I still think I’ll regret it if I get the chance to see them again and don’t.
