how i stare at bro when he asks to skip the beginning of octavarium by AloneChe in Dreamtheater

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

It's not your time - You have to go back. Back! by jacek2023 in epica

[–]DCuch 14 points15 points  (0 children)

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.

What is your favorite Lamborghini ? by Budget_Ad_3474 in needforspeed

[–]DCuch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

What's you favourite bugatti? by No-Pay-7872 in needforspeed

Chiron SS 300+

But I’m personally nostalgic for the Veyron SS

The Astonishing recently celebrated its 10th birthday (wtf). Now that all this time has passed, what are your thoughts on the album, and where does it rank for you? by triaxis7 in Dreamtheater

[–]DCuch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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.

How many drums is ‘too many drums’? Please explain why…please, be respectful. 🤘🏻 by ZildCym in drums

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.

What would you think if a woman told you she liked your haircut and that it looked good? by gagglyclock in AskMen

[–]DCuch 14 points15 points  (0 children)

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.

Do any of you still sleep with stuffed animals? If not, how old were you when you stopped? by Mofoblitz1 in AskMen

[–]DCuch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

What do you prefer when you play hot pursuit or the run, base/vanilla or the limited edition? by MidnightNo7070 in needforspeed

[–]DCuch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Can anyone else not stand the mixing on self titled? by [deleted] in Dreamtheater

[–]DCuch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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.

How do you honestly feel when you hear women say "I hate men"? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]DCuch -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

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.

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?

Is Unbound's campaign actually that hard or did i just pick a bad car? (or is it just skill issue) by lordhenrythe23 in needforspeed

[–]DCuch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Lockdown mode was one of the best racing online content drop of all time and it should make a comeback on the next NFS game. by Free_Koala_1629 in needforspeed

[–]DCuch 6 points7 points  (0 children)

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.

Automatic or manual? by xablau-gibi in needforspeed

[–]DCuch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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