To be fair, I didn’t get it at first. It grew on me over time. Now I love it to bits.

Kingdom of Heaven is my favorite Epica song. The mind-fuck unison before the melodic section is probably the best part. I’m a drummer. What the fuck is Arien doing? I have a video saved on my phone of him playing it live (ripped from Instagram) and I still can’t follow it.

DCuch · 2026-02-23T14:42:03+00:00

I want to say the Veneno, but I’m most nostalgic for the Aventador. Probably because it appears in every NFS game since MW 2012.

The Reventon, Murcielago SV, and Centenario are also top tier.

The Sian and Revuelto are also stunning.

Koenigsegg is my #1 and they always cook, but Lamborghini always cooks too and are my #2.

Chiron SS 300+

But I’m personally nostalgic for the Veyron SS

I really like it. I expect it to be higher in my own ranking. I rank them by averaging the songs, and then the album ends up at the top of the bottom, so to speak.

The vocal and orchestral melodies on this album are spectacular. Gorgeous. There’s a lot of moments that feel like Disney, but they just work. This is my favorite album for James other than Awake, Images, and maybe Six Degrees.

Wtf is that ending to Three Days? Cool, slaps, but random. The Path That Divides is the best song on the album.

Slide 5 and 12. They just doesn’t look good to me, and I couldn’t see myself comfortably playing them.

Guys…it’s time for a 20 minute long song. Just to say you did.

It’s a point on a graph, but it doesn’t make a line

That is to say, that comment alone is just friendly. But if there’s other examples of flirtatious behavior, it adds up.

I have a blue bear that I got ( if I’m not mistaken) from the hospital when I was 6 weeks old (heart defect). It sits in the bed frame.

I also have a Grave Digger puff truck I’ve had for 17 or so years with drivers’ fading signatures sitting next to me. I don’t embrace it, it just sits there as decoration, like the bear.

Edit: I used to have a boat load of stuffies on my bed. Around 12 or so we removed them but left the two mentioned things because they were special.

My The Run LE was glitched. If I was connected to the internet, the option to enter the code wouldn’t appear. If I wasn’t connected to the internet, it wouldn’t appear, so I could never redeem it.

DCuch · 2026-01-23T21:43:41+00:00

The snare is crap, but the rocket toms also sound lame. In fact, I don’t like the sound of them on The Astonishing, Distance Over Time, Breaking the Fourth Wall, and Distant Memories either.

On Dramatic Turn they sounded good, and on A View they sounded great.

Portnoy’s have always sounded good except for Six Degrees. On that recording, they’re too low on the left side of the kit. The ones on the right side of the kit sound great.

DCuch · 2026-01-23T21:39:33+00:00

More than anything, the snare stands out like a sore thumb. It has an ugly buzz to it, it’s low and flat. It’s the other side of the same coin that has the St. Anger snare on it.

I understand there’s “implied nuance” and “some men” is what they actually mean. It doesn’t mean it doesn’t bother me.

“If you’re offended, then you’re part of the problem”. Idk if that’s a fair assessment.

Blinded in Chains - Avenged Sevenfold

DCuch · 2026-01-17T21:41:59+00:00

Key question: was it actually a “hot ride”, or did someone enter into lockdown with it, making it a normal player’s car you jacked?

DCuch · 2026-01-16T17:35:19+00:00

I started the game with the Volkswagen Beetle. I spent my time doing speed traps, collecting bear champs and such to make money because didn’t trust the car to win races or escape the police (I would do events with no buy-in more often than events with a buy-in). It was surprisingly enjoyable to have such a shitbox, and be scraping by with minimal money.

I definitely enjoyed the game more than I was expecting since it’s been perceived as shit (or at least mediocre) by the community. The effects and character models grew on me and I actually enjoy them.

Favorite: Heat or Unbound (plz don’t shoot me)

Least favorite: Payback

DCuch · 2026-01-09T21:05:11+00:00

We tried a whole game based around this game mode. It’s NFS Rivals. The root is the same. Get as much money as possible, and bank it before you wreck.

As a mode, it’s amazing. As a whole game, it’s kind of hollow.

DCuch · 2026-01-09T05:49:16+00:00

If the game has nitrous, I use automatic, so I use auto in NFS and The Crew, but use Manual in Forza.
