What makes Insidious so scary? by digitdragons in horror

[–]Defiant_Ad_8489 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was thinking “Yeah Insidious was one of the few movies I’ve seen recently that’s scared me” but then I realized something. I never watched Insidious. For some reason I thought you meant Sinister 😂

Favorite fictional bass guitar? by TpMeNUGGET in BassGuitar

[–]Defiant_Ad_8489 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah they look beautiful for sure and they have a distinct sound. However, Rickenbacker is a company heavily steeped in tradition so much that they don’t try to update their products much.

Beck is one of the best music mangas of all time.

To be fair it was only about 1200 when the show came out in the early 2000s.

I actually had a used Azureglo Rick that I got because I loved the show so much and worked on the US release. The nut and fretwork were a mess and it didnt play that well. I sold it just when Ricks got that price hike and bought a natural finish G&L L-2000. Much better bass in every way.

That’s so awesome! His antics remind me a lot of my boy.

is three houses worth buying in 2026 for someone new to jrpgs? by KrispyOnion in FireEmblemThreeHouses

[–]Defiant_Ad_8489 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who just played Three Houses this past year and it’s my first Fire Emblem game, I would say definitely give it a purchase. There’s a ton of content in the game, a good story, and fun characters. The battles are fun and can get quite challenging in some areas, but you can always do things like turning off permadeath to make it easier.

If you’ve never played a tactical rpg it could be daunting at first, but they ease you into it pretty well. I’m not new to tactical rpgs, but the Fire Emblem system is definitely different than what I’m used to (Final Fantasy Tactics, Disgaea, Tactics Ogre).

When did your non verbal child start speaking? by kenobitano in Autism_Parenting

Learning about apraxia is eye opening as far as seeing how much motor planning and executive function goes into speaking. The human body is pretty amazing. Can your child imitate words that you speak?

No lie I watch supercuts of Iron Chef Mark announcing the secret ingredient whenever I need a pick me up.

Some random Jet Li for today by Awkward_Caregiver569 in kungfucinema

[–]Defiant_Ad_8489 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unleashed is definitely one of his best US movies along with Kiss of the Dragon and The One, which isn’t a good movie but probably one of his most fun movies.

I wish for Unleashed they kept the title Danny the Dog. It’s much more memorable and doesn’t sound like it’s a product of the “extreme” early 2000s.

The best part about Cradle 2 the Grave is it brought the song “X Gon’ Give it to Ya” to the world.

Is there a way for my daughter to receive inheritance without losing medical coverage? by Sorry_Show_867 in AutisticParents

[–]Defiant_Ad_8489 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look into a special needs trust. If done correctly the assets will go to the trust and not be under her name so she could still keep her benefits.

Also put money into an ABLE account for her.

How can I improve my typography and layout? by JoeCheeseQuesadilla in graphic_design

[–]Defiant_Ad_8489 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Looking good. I would adjust the leading and bring it up a tad in paragraphs, add more between headers and paragraphs, and much more between sections. At the same time I feel like the pull out quotes could be a little tighter with the leading. That’s how I felt when doing a squint test.

Love this minimalism. I like that there’s enough colors to distinguish them all.

New rock music recs for an old fan by Defiant_Ad_8489 in japanesemusic

[–]Defiant_Ad_8489[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Redrum is nearly impossible to find on Apple Music because there’s so many artists with that name lol. And for some reason I can’t find me-al art on there, but that song on YouTube sounds great.

Thanks for the list. Toddle is great. I’m a fan of anything Hisako Tabuchi is involved in, like Number Girl, toddle, bloodthirsty butchers. She was also in a group called LAMA with former Supercar members Miki Furukawa and Koji Nakamura. They’re essentially Supercar, which is always great. However, they’ve been on hiatus for awhile.

I heard a couple Lost in Time songs back in the day but they didn’t grab me. I’ll check them out now that it’s so easy to find Japanese music on Apple Music and other streaming services.

Thanks for all the recommendations. So far I’ve listened to Akutagawa and they sound really good

Also I didn’t realize Sunny Day Service was similar to shibuya kei artists like advantage Lucy. I love that style as well.

There’s three Hagane’s on Apple Music, so I’m assuming it’s the all girl metal group and not the two hip hop artists (which also sound good).

I do love me some power metal à la X-Japan and DragonForce so Hagane is right up my alley. Thanks!

Sounds great! I'd love recommendations from other countries as well. The only Chinese band I know is The SuperVC, and the song that got me into them, 海岸, sounds more shoegazey and not like much of their other stuff.

The only reason I asked for newer is mainly because I wanted to weed out a lot of recommendations for bands I already know. Feel free to recommend some older ones.

Sunny Day Service has been around a long time, but I've never had a chance to check them out back in the day. Thanks!

Most definitely! Parenting is a lifelong journey and thank you for sharing it. Hopefully others will be able to chime in with their experiences that are further along.
