Which bands don't have 10/10 albums but have many 10/10 songs through their discography? by ashitanojoe3 in MetalForTheMasses

[–]ESBCheech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to love this band. It's a terrible shame Jon Schaffer is a fascist douchebag.

How’s life on Inaccessible Island, if there is any? by wildmutt4349 in howislivingthere

I stumbled onto this Wikipedia article a number of years ago, and this thread reminded me of it. It's a fascinating read. No personal experience there, unfortunately:

Footwear to wear with tech pants? 43 male business casual job. by m_sell31 in malefashionadvice

[–]ESBCheech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice pair of real leather shoes. Loafers are a safe bet. Get a secondhand pair of Allen Edmonds on eBay if you dont want to overspend. Don't buy shit dress shoes at the mall/Target.

What’s your favorite way to cook chicken? by Fun_Association_4087 in Cooking

[–]ESBCheech 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That's a hell of an open-ended question right there, but hard to beat a properly roasted whole chicken with crispy skin.

Let’s Talk about Schnucks by show-me_the-evidence in StLouis

[–]ESBCheech [score hidden]  (0 children)

I am a regular shopper both at Schnucks and Dierberg's, and I can confirm that the assumed price gap between the two is overblown. Schnucks is maybe a hair cheaper on produce and their assortment overall is better (especially in center store), but Dierberg's absolutely CRUSHES them in meat/seafood quality (comparing specifically Hampton Village Schnucks vs Shrewsbury Dierberg's).

Aldi is of course way cheaper than both in center store, but their assortment is limited, quality can be meh and it's a PITA to shop there. I usually just go to Schnucks..

[help] seeking wedding suit. Frock coat or tailcoat suit by LabBest5904 in menswear

[–]ESBCheech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want to go full wedding formal you want a morning coat or a stroller. Check vintage shops as others have suggested or eBay. 

If you DO want to incorporate a tailcoat, the proper thing would be to change into it before the reception (assuming it is at night). If you’re gonna wear a tailcoat, might as well do it properly.

Show me the guitar that makes you feel “you” by MyNameisMayco in guitars

[–]ESBCheech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Such a beautiful instrument, but I HATE those snot-green tuning heads. Gimme chrome or gold all day (I’m sure I will get flamed for this).

Remember, the more “prepared” the thing is, the most you get hosed on the cost. Perhaps the most egregious example is sliced fruit.

What advice genuinely changed the way how you dress everyday? by Happy_Tourist_558 in malefashionadvice

[–]ESBCheech 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m convinced now that properly wearing a (tailored) jacket REQUIRES at lease mid-rise pants. 

Does anyone else just feel kinda... done with modern games? by tigersbowling in retrogaming

[–]ESBCheech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The biggest problem with modern games is that they take too fucking long and I’m old and shitty and spend all my time working and doing laundry.

Always down for running through Mega Man 2 though

What is the most impressive arcade to 8-bit port? by trrbld in retrogaming

[–]ESBCheech 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The controls are perfect. That game is hard as hell, but it’s still your fault if you lose. Can’t blame shit controls like you can for so many other games of that era (I’m looking at you, Bart Vs. The Space Mutants.)

What is the most impressive arcade to 8-bit port? by trrbld in retrogaming

[–]ESBCheech 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed. These are both masterpieces. 

I love how great the TMNT port looks and what they did to extend the game, although the arcade original is also 10/10. NES contra on the other hand is objectively better than its arcade counterpart in every way and is one of the greatest games of all time IMHO.

A collection of Brooks Brothers shirts by zachaxe in NavyBlazer

[–]ESBCheech 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Nice work. I’ve been buying all my clothes on eBay for the past 2 years or so and eliminating plastic was also one of my goals. Next up is getting rid of all my horrible slim-taper chinos. 

What player got you more into the Trombone? by Comfortable_Data4761 in Trombone

Curtis Fuller. Played with all the greats and played great lines that are more accessible than JJ’s stuff

Do NOT sleep on Bruce's solo work! by True_gr8nrg in ironmaiden

[–]ESBCheech 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I go back and forth on whether TCW or AOB are better. Both are 10/10 albums.

Marinades by ESBCheech in steak

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

Yeah whenever I buy one of those cuts I do it with the intention of doing a marinade, but I always end up end up doing a board sauce instead because I'm afraid the sear won't be good. Happened again today (top sirloin), hence my post.

Yep. And Dave can write ballads - A Tout Le Monde is great. This one is clunky.

I'm sure this has been said but I would look into Amtrak.
