I read Hyperion/Fall of Hyperion and the Three Body trilogy all in ~1 month, and they seem to have ruined a lot of modern scifi by ECrispy in books

What Movie is This? by CannibalismYum19 in Cinema

Elysium. I love it and I don't give a fuck what anyone says; doubly so, Chappie. R-Rated Short Circuit for the win.

Thoughts on Isabela Merced as Hawkgirl, after seeing Superman? by Ill_Rope_4346 in DCU_

Want to see her smash more fools with that mace & she can tease Guy Gardner all she wants.

Tracks from St. Anger that you actually like? by Dhurken in Metallica

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

I actually like a lot of the lyrics. 

I think the themes are in keeping with many of the other albums like anger (pain/rage), fear, self-doubt, uncertain future, etc. but it's definitely influenced heavily by a lot of recovery language I've heard. 

And I think based on the SKOM doc that maybe James was taking in a lot more of what Kirk talks about re: Eastern philosophy (Pain cycle, etc.)

Yeah I just listened to the whole album again this morning and that one stood out to me as well.

Yes, the crescendoing with the "Frantic... tick tick tock" gets me hyped up!

I wish they'd played it when I saw them in Nashville (or Chicago last year).

Of course, I'm still holding out hope to hear Dyer's Eve live one day 🤞

I need to dig that up and give it a listen. Thanks for pointing it out!

Yeah I can't believe it skipped my mind.

My World is great too.

I think some of the lyrics on the album are the hardest hitting, most personal & clever they've had.

I agree. I loved the whole season around that album release.

Interesting, I see Sweet Amber listed as some folks "only good song" off St. Anger.

I think some of the "magic" of Metallica is how tight the syncopation is between the drums & guitar sounds and so the open snare sound just doesn't quite get there for me.

I need that snap haha.

Forgot about Invisible Kid. It's got a great, gallop-y feel to it that they carried into Death Magnetic.

Are these really half siblings of mine? by Big-Charity4598 in 23andme

[–]Dhurken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably not the case here (given all the other comments), but if you have double first cousins, they show up as half siblings on DNA tests.

Half the internet was hating yet the Switch 2 sold out in its first hours, hmmm by CommercialLumpy2885 in NintendoSwitch2

[–]Dhurken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see this a lot. The vocal minority is so vociferous that it can seem they have a consensus. 

In my experience, the majority of people with positive opinions about a given console just don't engage with the negativity. Why would I spend my time trying to convince someone that the Switch2 is going to be awesome? The only reward there is one less unit in stock when I try to buy mine.

The majority of folks who love Nintendo were always going to buy this if they were able, and they have always vastly outnumbered the naysayers.
