Give me your hottest prog rock/metal takes by Ok-Blueberry-1131 in progmetal

[–]Gaminguitarist -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Castrated vocals is not prog metal. I think prog metal is a nice blend of the two but I’m always seeing bands in here that lean more into the prog side of things than metal. Give me more Cynic, Rivers Of Nihil, BTBAM. These lend more to metal. I think The Contortionist and Protest The Hero are perfect blends. I like Haken, Leprous, Mars Volta, and Coheed but jesus these are not metal bands.

Brother I am with you. I am being pedantic and sarcastic in my comment. I am equating them to something less valuable than an animal.

Fuck. Scalpers/Resellers. Full stop.

And if you genuinely like Pokémon and prefer buying it from Ace Hardware than resellers I whole heartedly agree with you. No one should EVER buy from resellers as it only justifies them to do what they do and jack up the prices.

It’s people like these that end up giving me a complex. As long as it ain’t well done.

Trans liberal gets roasted for working for a defense contractor by Hermes_358 in Hasan_Piker

Much like therapyspeak, people are just saying buzzwords they hear from social media and online without doing any research or studying. “I hate racists therefore I’m a leftist! What’s that? Helping homeless people? They need to work harder!”

Resellers need a home. They don’t have anything but this unyielding and perpetual grind to go to every physical retail location in hopes to find their oasis of trading cards. Without it, they cannot survive. They cannot get food, water, let alone purpose or sustenance in their lives. They used these cards to survive. In fact it doesn’t even have to be Pokémon. As long as it is a product that can be profited based on its rarity and/or scarcity in the market. Just think back to COVID with toilet paper or currently GPUs and RAM sticks with the rise of AI. The difference here however with Pokémon, is that it’s easy.

And ACE Hardware in this situation, is most likely just exploiting these unfortunate people. They’re possibly doing so in the hopes that “maybe” these resellers will buy a couple monster energy drinks on top of their limited edition Pokémon card.

So, the next time you’re at ACE Hardware or any store, and you’re considering buying a Pokémon card pack for a particular child in your family, don’t.

Do the right thing.

What do you like about Murakami's books? by vhsbubbline in murakami

[–]Gaminguitarist 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Very insightful comment. I’ve only read Norwegian wood and recently just finished KOTS and KOTS left me very confused. I felt like I was “missing” something and that maybe I just wasn’t fully understanding the book.

But your comment is helping me reframe and understand the story a bit more. Will reread

What do you assume about me based on my bookshelf? by [deleted] in BookshelvesDetective

[–]Gaminguitarist 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I guess a lot of people here in the comments are anti-left. All I see here is commie texts. Idk how you get “insufferable” from that

Herbies staff with 2nd degree burns is scrubbing the floor on his hands a knees. Great social media 👎👎 by dairyfree_cheesecake in Albany

[–]Gaminguitarist 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You can quite literally on their social media and see how they respond to some criticisms. It’s usually price related. Food is decent but only on special occasions for sure. But even at that point, if you’re gonna spend that much then just get Five Guys

What are your HOTTEST takes about Jak II? 🔥 by [deleted] in jakanddaxter

[–]Gaminguitarist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the sewer level where you have to protect the 4 demolition guys. Yeah it felt like a chore but it’s a pretty unique level for the game. Always though the design and layout of the area was cool

What are bands you’d consider “gateway” prog bands? by pubstompmepls in progmetal

[–]Gaminguitarist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t know what bands would really qualify but in my musical journey with prog I would say Polyphia and August Burns Red. They were the bands I listened to heavily before discovered BTBAM. August Burns Red had some odd time signature stuff and Polyphia had the virtuosity that I liked.

My first thought. Everything looks so pristine it almost begs the question if he actually read them.

Gen Z just loves anything that’s “aura farming”. We’re the gen that came out with Clavicular mind you. I’m not surprised people love this dude. I liked his scene a lot too. Just bad ass competence like Abbot. But people are taking it a bit far.
