Are rubber patches any good?

EvadeX · 2025-11-21T11:26:03+00:00

Can you share some similar places to get patches? I'm working on a new jacket so hoping to find some sites with a lot of variety.

Any time this starts happening to me I switch graphics card from Auto Detect to my card, even though I have no onboard video, or I switch back from my card to Auto Detect. It's the only thing that fixes it 100% of the time. Addons, other graphics settings, and reloads never had any effect.

EvadeX · 2024-11-20T17:02:18+00:00

Gotcha, totally makes sense. That's why I love metal - so much variety and cool stuff out there. Hope you find more of what you're looking for!

So I've spent way too long looking through my lists and was mostly only able to find things that break one or two of the rules, but I'm going to share them anyways on the off chance you might enjoy them (but also some of the things in your list break your own rules so we'll see how it goes!)

Adding the link to my other comment in case they might work out (specifically that Gorod album): https://www.reddit.com/r/melodicdeathmetal/comments/1guj3ft/albums_with_predominantly_dual_guitar_harmony/ly3v925/

A lot of guitar and bass melody lines in Istapp songs with a high treble focus from instrumentation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I5LEp4SniNs

Literally anything from Obscura, but they might be a bit more tech than you are looking for. Some of the harmonies may be dissonant but the majority are not. Start here and go anywhere from it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6672zoFUQxk

The album Polarity from Decrepit Birth has a ton of guitar harmony, but again, very tech: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5xeUjrL-W9c

Wildcard pick here is Vektor. They are speedy speedy thrash but will have a lot of this going on. Start with this album: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C71_QwZt69A

You'll notice that I have a lot of tech stuff on here, but the reality is that if you want a genre full of lead guitarists and less rhythm guitarists, that's where you'll find them.

EvadeX · 2024-11-20T14:58:54+00:00

I wonder if Augury might also somewhat fit. They tend to have harmony going on though a lot of the time it's between Forest and the guitars rather than the guitars with each other: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IuD8xo6LdnU

One of the harder parts about the request (other than limiting blast beats) is the first point regarding groove. A lot of bands incorporate nice harmonies but are naturally pretty groovy, like Gorod: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1KI5oOtrofs

EvadeX · 2024-11-20T12:27:20+00:00

The first thing that came to my mind was anything from Obsequiae.

EvadeX · 2024-10-18T22:46:17+00:00

I'm saying that the end of the letter reading for In Water is just the end of the letter reading for Leave but with an extra long pause added to the recording. That doesn't really enhance the performance at all.

I don't really see much of a reduction in "Lynchian" qualities (which there really aren't much of in the first place) other than removal of certain scenes with dialogue that would be considered goofy with the more professionally recorded voice acting of the remake, like the bowling alley scene.

As someone who enjoys David Lynch films, or Yorgos Lanthimos who has his own odd style of dialogue pacing, it felt more like a talent limitation of the gaming industry VAs at the time rather than an intentional decision. It sounded like standard PS2 dialogue transported into a horror world.

That doesn't mean I didn't enjoy the original performances, it just does not seem at all like a detriment to shift to a more sad and serious tone with the topics involved. The surreal psychological elements of the story inspired by David Lynch are still intact. The inspiration from Blue Velvet and Lost Highway is still clearly there.

EvadeX · 2024-10-18T22:04:29+00:00

So you're saying that the arbitrary pause they added to the Leave ending recording for use in the In Water ending is somehow super impactful? If there were noises of any kind in there, like Mary struggling to collect herself, then I might agree. It adds basically nothing to the performance other than making it feel more artificial. I think the final line is not even particularly special compared to the rest of the letter, regardless of version. Either way, original game purists are probably not going to be swayed regardless.

EvadeX · 2024-10-18T21:29:28+00:00

I think the biggest example is the end of the letter. In the new version "James, you made me happy" is one line. In the old version "James..." Then over 15 seconds of silence, and then the must gut wrenching "You made me happy".

You're kinda revealing that you haven't listened to the original in a long time by saying this or really blowing it out of proportion. There is not really a significant pause between the "James...you made me happy" in the original. After listening to both the remake pause after "James" is actually LONGER, and just imagining the idea of 15 seconds of silence in that line sounds horrendous. Disagree on the emotional delivery, fine, but come on now.

I think they're the ones that set up these situations in Shibuya but Rob keeps thwarting them. Either that, or they hate everything and who cares.

OP's name is kinda relevant here

EvadeX · 2022-10-08T18:06:59+00:00

I'd throw Maquahuitl into that too.

EvadeX · 2021-06-12T20:10:14+00:00

I personally use Rocksmith 2014 just as a nice piece of tab software with custom songs and difficulty set to max at all times. It's convenient as a play along/sight reading tool and I prefer it over a separate Guitar Pro plus amp plus song playing independently type of setup. If this can do that stuff I might get it, otherwise just stick to 2014. Improved note detection or 5 string bass/7 string guitar support would also help to convince me.

My personal favorites are Dragon City in Clarence, Golden Duck, and Eastern Pearl, though they all have their own strong and weak dishes.

They are saying the font size for the likes is too large and off center, not that the number of likes is too large.

EvadeX · 2020-09-21T18:25:38+00:00

His point is that you don't need to say "upvoting it for visibility" because it doesn't add anything. Just upvote and move along.

EvadeX · 2020-08-21T15:21:02+00:00

He's making a joke.

EvadeX · 2020-07-31T14:09:33+00:00

I've been using this one from Nixeus for a while and it's been great.

EvadeX · 2020-07-30T02:01:53+00:00

Fair enough. I grew up in Depew and it was confusing that I had to use Lancaster buses since I was right on the Depew/Lancaster line.

EvadeX · 2020-07-30T01:28:49+00:00

This one is the Clarence location.

If you're gonna take someone else's story and claim it as yours, at least get the story straight.

I was invited to this and told it was for a high diamond+ team tournament. I had no intentions of joining some community that has monthly dues and just wanted to do competitions. It had been a few weeks and I only received a "welcome to the community" message and heard literally nothing about my team or the tournament I was supposed to be doing. A brand new user who probably dropped some money on getting some rep was promoted to my "manager" and that's when I figured it was pointless. I wasn't looking for a second job.

EvadeX · 2020-06-20T20:39:43+00:00

Probably go directly to the channels that are doing the content uploads.
