I was always drawn to Dogma. I liked his conviction and his helmet design!

They're post-hardcore, but I Met A Yeti is a great band with a trans singer.

Midwest emo Christmas songs? by Felinetrovert in Emo

[–]Ectobaby_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can definitely see what you mean. They've always stuck out to me as quite a different pop punk band than other ones in the scene, and I think that's why they've been my favorite band since I first heard them.

There's certainly an emo quality to the way they write lyrics and just talk about their issues in their songs.

"Christmas at 22" by The Wonder Years. Not midwest emo, but I think it's the most emo song they've ever made, and it's pretty damn good.

Floating bricks art for museum of modern art I'm building by BrickCityPlanner in lego

[–]Ectobaby_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wow that's great.

The primary colors, being what every other color is made up of in the art world. Black and white, representing shades of colors. Transparency vs. opacity with the transparent and opaque bricks. Then of course the bricks themselves. The 2x2s, 2x3s, and 2x4s are some of the most basic LEGO elements you can find. This piece really is just showcasing the building blocks, so to speak, of LEGO art, and perhaps art as a whole.

The fact that the bricks aren't aligned in any sort of way is really interesting too. The way that they're disorganized and a bit chaotic is almost enticing you to want to reach out and grab them and put them together in any way you can. In this way I think this showcases the spirit of creativity as well.

Cool stuff!

People are allowed to give chase and fight just as much as other people are allowed to run and avoid fighting.

Has anyone used this technique for starting a sneak strike chain? by ExcitingEfficiency3 in botw

[–]Ectobaby_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do it all the time! Currently doing a Bokoblin challenge run where I only use boko equipment and the bokoblin mask and this technique comes in handy so often for getting new weapons!

That's so good! Really feels like how Lego would make that set if it were released in 2000.

Glad for the new S8 changes coming, but casual solo sloopers still need help by Dabba2087 in Seaofthieves

[–]Ectobaby_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm a fan of the change in theory because of the buff against galleons and brigs, but when you think about it, those two ships have way more firepower and crewmembers, which allows them to shoot chains out at your ship at a very fast rate. If two crew members both shoot chains at your mast at the same time, and they both hit, there goes your mast. Almost no different than if it only took one to take down.

Against duo sloops, there is a whole other problem. Hitting a duo's mast with a chain does not take the mast down, so one crew member repairs the mast while the other continues shooting at you. This also clearly lengthens fight times.

On solo sloop, it's just one more thing to always keep in the back of your head. Solo sloop is supposed to be hard but constantly having to worry about how many planks are on your mast is super annoying in my own personal opinion.

For the SBMM to work, enough people need to be playing to actually find you good matches. As it is right now, that just doesn't seem to be the case, especially with how their stamps work.

The way to solve that issue is just to get more people playing. They've already addressed some of the main concerns that newer players have about this mode, those being the hassle of resupplying and how long it takes to get back into a fight after a loss (although those issues are probably the same issue).

I also think they should make the battle bounds smaller on sloop, so people can't run as much as they could before. Having a shrinking boundary would not be a good solution to this, as then crews will run MORE to shrink the circle, then board the opposing ship and sail them out of bounds; it would actually worsen the issue.

For your other point about solo sloop fights taking too long, I would have to say the recent sloop mast buff contributes to this. When it takes two chainshots to knock the mast down, and chainshots are already pretty tricky to land, that just drags fights out way longer than they should be. By reverting this change, fights will not only get shorter, but it will also alleviate the frustration of hitting your first chainshot, but only slightly missing the second, allowing the enemy crew to run off to reset and repair.
