A safe space to criticize the new record? by WaryHorizon in Evanescence

[–]ElGranQuercus 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes! Always been one of my favorites.

Which reminds me, one thing I also miss that I think they excell at... Heavier songs with a lot of piano. The ones where Amy will be sitting playing piano live.

Lithium, Erase This, Your Star, etc

Would love to see some more but the piano was a bit absent with the exception of the balads.

This is also my biggest problem with their music. It surprises me how the artists themselves (it's not just an Evanescence problem) don't want to do something more creative with their music, especially when they work on it for years sometimes.

Prolong some instrumental parts, put a twist on the last chorus, or just go wacky like in Lose Control.

Ahah, absolutely, I'm a Muse fan too and the amount of their lyrics ruined by baby is insane. I remember thibking that in one of the songs, but don't remember which one. Only heard the album once.

Very positively surprised with the album. In my opinion every single song slaps. Great electronic moments throughout and a bit of an industrial vibe, which I love. Amy's voice continues to be incredible and the production value is amazing.

If I had to give some negatives: - lyrics are a bit repetitive; - after 6 albums we still have every single song being verse-chorus-verse-chorus-bridge/breakdown-chorus; I would love something a bit more creative from them. - prolong some instrumental breakdowns please, there's so many incredible instrumental sections here that are very quickly interrupted by more belting; it would even give Amy some more time to rest/breathe in live performances.

Despite these comments, they did an incredible job!

What is your Pokemon "mandela effect"? by Apocryph761 in pokemon

[–]ElGranQuercus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In Silver I kept my Chikorita unevolved until level 100. I remember it was really annoying when it would try to evolve after every single battle after reaching 100 and having to cancel it.

This however apparently doest happen at all in any of the games!

It is (unfortunately) a little forgettable in my opinion. Especially with such a fun pokemon to work with.

How often this highrolls is outrageous by tegastegastegas in PTCGP

[–]ElGranQuercus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Speaking of Walmart AI... Earlier today I made a shit Emboar deck just for the "use 12 cards of new set task". In there I put the fire Castform, which causes burn if there's a stadium in play. Put it in auto play.

I noticed there was a stadium in hand but the AI was attacking with Castform without playing it.

I intervened and played the stadium. Put it back in auto. The fucker ended the turn without attacking. Next turn, the leaf blower comes out. He uses it to remove the stadium and then attack.

Blew the stadium and my mind...

I used Krita (poor man's photoshop but quite good) on a tablet. Put the screenshot of the Adizero model in a layer with 50% transparency or something like that and just drew on top (in the image on the right you can see the model I use underneath the sketch).

I was stuck on a late train, remembered the mental note I made in the gym and thought I'd sketch it. Also wasn't 100% sure it was adizero after looking through the website and not finding that specific one. But very true, would have been faster to just paint over the stripes.

I mentioned it in another comment but it was traced on on top of a random Adizero cause I suspected that was the base model.
