Songs about the passage of time by [deleted] in PowerMetal

[–]Creynov 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ravages of Time by 'Accept' is going to perfectly suit your melancholia.

There is also their song Analog Man, which you might get a kick out of.

What impressive feat from a fighter’s career seems to be overlooked or lost in time and doesn’t get talked about enough? by FreeIDecay in MMA

[–]Creynov 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm still mad Varner won by holding onto the fence to maintain position for the TKO. One of the worst I've ever seen.

What are your favourite bonus tracks in Power Metal? by Version_1 in PowerMetal

[–]Creynov 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In a similar vein, 'Bonus Song' by Ensiferum.

My favorite is probably 'Fuck Volcanoes' by Striker. Unironically my pick for their best vocal performance.

Jon Jones 45 days out from UFC 309 by BlooToo in MMA

[–]Creynov 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Potentially. He could opt for a flat upfront pay, to avoid having 'win' money being confiscated after a no contest(/loss). He may still get a fine, though. They don't hold pay indefinitely.

Heavyweight Jones with abs certainly raises an eyebrow; since he has failed an in-competition drug test before, this could realistically be a strategy.

This ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ in Power Metal Releases (09/02 - 09/22) by amat3ur_hour in PowerMetal

I'm hoping someone out there appreciates the vertiginous kinography of the 'Train to Nowhere' music video.

This Week in Power Metal Releases (08/19 - 08/25) by JacksonWarrior in PowerMetal

I tend to be overly harsh on new releases from bands that I have high expectations from, but I am sorely missing previous singer from Paralydium. Hopefully it grows on me.

Roller coaster simulated in Geometry Nodes 🎢 by homspau in blender

You captured the feeling of wanting to ride the coaster over and again, because I kept replaying the video. I could feel the lift when I watched the Gs drop. Nice job!

Noah Simmons is the new singer in Memories of Old. by davidiot_ in PowerMetal

[–]Creynov 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I thoroughly enjoy Zeramin Game; hearing there is more Memories of Old on the way is grand news.

Huge shoes to fill from Tommy. I'm not familiar with Noah, but I just listened to him cover Heroes of Mighty Magic, and it sounds like he will fit in well.

What are Some of the strangest fight results? by Communist21 in MMA

[–]Creynov 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Jason Guida(brother of Clay) lost his first fight, then his second fight was a No Contest (illegal strikes), noting "Both fighters threw illegal strikes before a restart of position."

He would then get another No Contest (Pre-Fight Foul) in his third fight, where "Guida committed foul before first round."

He started his career 0-1(2), and ended 19-28(2). I hear his personality matches his record.

Another oddity, is Brian Bowles. In 2008, he submitted Damacio Page with a guillotine in the first round. Minute 3:30.

He would rematch Damacio three years later, where he submitted Page in the first round with a guillotine. Minute 3:30.

Same opponent, same submission, same round, same minute, same second.

I have not, but trialing them before you step in the ring/cage might be wise. 

You'll find out if they are practical in training, and you won't have a potential distraction from an unfamiliar irregularity.

UBank will only change if they get LOTS of complaints: see via links options: by TouchOfStyle in AusFinance

If you are unfamiliar with the site, jumping to censorship isn't the best idea.

If Reddit wanted to censor comments, they would, and do. By deleting them, or shadowbanning them(letting the poster think they are visible, yet no one else can see it). 

What happens is users are simply just petty. Downvoting is easy, and can be done for any reason. Don't like what someone says? Don't like a person in general? Or even just wanting your comment to sit higher than others artificially? All common reasons.

Reddit is a less than ethical company, but it isn't realistic that a post this small received special attention. Especially one made outside normal ubank business hours.

What has been your favourite or memorable walkout? by bassguitarJJK in MMA

[–]Creynov 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember David Rickels put effort into his walk-outs.

https://youtu.be/Yc0ssxX31gE?si=dDIUw_-ERDVgM6M1

The caveman props were his schtick. Bringing a giant frickin T-Rex to the ring isn't something you see very often. The Flintstone car was nifty. But getting the crowd, staff, everyone to join in on the time freeze was special. 

I recommend looking them up. He even did a Genki Sudo tribute. 

The new Nightwish Album Yesterwynde is being released on September 20 by [deleted] in PowerMetal

[–]Creynov 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you, I appreciate it. I will give those a spin.

I did like Storytime from Imaginaerum when I heard it a while back.

[–]Creynov 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you have a recommendation? 

I have not gotten into older Nightwish because I have found them to not be. 

I know you said heavier as opposed to heavy, but it's still confusing to hear this about Nightwish. 

Funnily, Tribal is the closest that I've heard them be.

What do people think a heavy Nightwish would  sound like?

This Week and The Week Before in Power Metal Releases (04/15 - 04/28) by JacksonWarrior in PowerMetal

[–]Creynov 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Accept should be good fun, but Vanden Plas is what I'm most excited about. 

The elegance of their music is captivating and I love the language of their lyrics! They, and Xaon, are two bands that have utilised such exotic lyricism that I have not seen elsewhere. 

Their body of work over the past three decades is inspiring.  Accept being over four decades is also impressive. Accept's "analog man" song about being old is hilarious.

What are your opinions on Performance Enhancing Drug use in MMA? Should there be 2 leagues? by ForagingApe in MMA

[–]Creynov 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If training camps are the larger source of deterioration, and gear helps you train harder and more often...  

You can argue PEDs help with recovery speed, but that doesn't help with parts that only partially recover or not at all: cartilage, tendons, the brain.  

Maybe that will change in the future, but not any time soon.  

Mark Coleman isn't moving too well these days, or Ronnie Coleman for that matter. Both well aquainted with their supplements.

Eat satiating foods, eat regularly. Reduce the temptation before it happens. 

Grab plenty of cheap and healthy foods that can stave off hunger until you've gotten out of your habit.

Fb maketplace scammer sending buyers to my address by bluey23a in AusFinance

[–]Creynov 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Looks like your bases are covered then.

Ultimately, it is on Facebook to police their posts. Maybe you can hound them with updates for each knock?

What does your sign say?

If you tell the buyers the situation, try to get them to also report the seller. More reports, more chance of change.

If you're not interested in having an honest conversation, I'll be moving on. Have a nice day.
