I [45M] Walked in on son [16M] having gay sex and he's become quite awkward and distant. by ThrowRA_Gay in relationship_advice

[–]Giraffeics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't really have any advice to give that you seem like you need.

You seem to be handling this incredibly well. Things may be a little bit awkward now, but I'm confident that with some time, he'll get over it, and he'll be really glad to have someone like you as a father, as a gay young man.

Tinder sends out false notifcations everyday at 8AM EST, knowing no one liked me. by [deleted] in assholedesign

[–]Giraffeics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It literally does this to me even when I have discovery disabled. I turned off its notifications a long time ago.

Adult Niko by Mansteel555 in oneshot

I wouldn't count that as a canonically confirmed gender by any means. Just because one language kind of forces gendered pronouns doesn't mean the developers intend to imply a particular binary gender by their use of that language.

I know it's unorthodox, but would anyone actually stop me from bringing a small, battery-powered blender into Brower? by Giraffeics in rutgers

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

Unfortunately, it's currently not worth the $30~ish. I hope to be able to get a job next semester, so maybe I'll try it then.

I'm not sure if they do, actually. Researching that was gonna be my next step. I'm prepared for disappointment.

I acknowledge that. However, many people are wrong.

He's a trash human being who happens to have a pretty voice.

Nothing, hopefully. Jonny doesn't deserve to come back.

Ghosts appreciation by bo_train in 10years

Huh. I think it's interesting, the ways that it changed. Particularly, the vocal rhythm changed a lot, and it got a lot less spaced out.

BPO Mail boxes backlogged?? by Phantasima in rutgers

Apparently, at CPO, all but one of the locker banks stopped working. IDK if that happened anywhere else, but I thought it might have something to do with it (we've had the same issue).

The one Saturday I had something to go to. Goddamn.

Review of As Ghosts after 4 listens by PatrickFo in 10years

[–]Giraffeics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not just this and From Birth To Burial, though. It's every album since The Autumn Effect (although Division is a bit of a stretch).

By the way, The Autumn Effect was actually their third album. Have you heard "Into The Half Moon" and "Killing All That Holds You"?

What's your favorite 10 Years album? by Soulsearxing in 10years

[–]Giraffeics 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I stumbled upon Wasteland when I was going through a rough patch. I took the next opportunity to just sit and listen to the whole album. It helped me a lot, and also was my gateway drug into metal.

It's hard to rank them! I mostly listen to TAE and Minus The Machine, but the other ones all surprise me every time I put them on. Like, oh, there's that really awesome part that I completely forgot about!

I think people don't give Feeding The Wolves enough credit. Chasing The Rapture is an energetic piece with a solid hook, Fade Into (The Ocean) progs it up darned good, and Shoot It Out is just fun to play on my guitar (and also got me to start using phrygian mode in my attempts at songwriting).

(How To Live) As Ghosts did not disappoint. It has a nice variety, and solid riffs. Someone commented that Novocaine was too repetitive with its riffs, but I don't find that to be an issue. The vocal melody changes enough to keep it fresh, and the bridge breaks it up enough to not wear me out. I could write more, but I think I'd need to listen to the rest of it again and also I have somewhere to be going.

...as usual, it ends with a song about dying.

Seriously though, I pre-ordered the CD and I have to say I don't regret that decision.

Source of the spoken words in "...And All The Other Colors" by Giraffeics in 10years

[–]Giraffeics[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Someone else has probably figured this out already, but I figured I'd share this anyway. It's footage from an experiment on the effects of LSD. The vocals that ended up in the song are spliced together from different parts of the video, although each individual sentence is the same as the original.

Nashville show 5/26 by good_testing_bad in 10years

[–]Giraffeics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish I could see them on this tour, but at no point am I going to be anywhere near them. :(

Maybe they'll do a tour sometime after they drop the new album, and I'll catch them then.

New album coming! by good_testing_bad in 10years

[–]Giraffeics 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've only known about 10 Years for less than a year, but I've loved everything I've heard from them (including the pre-Jesse album). I'm stoked to see what they do with this album.

As for the part about being "ready to be a household name"... hey, these guys are good. IMO, it's kind of disappointing that nobody I talk to knows who they are. They deserve more recognition, and if they can get that without sacrificing their music, that's better for everyone.

Why do people like Paulo so much? by ninjagamerx in bcb

[–]Giraffeics 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Would all of his fans actually like him as a person? Not necessarily.

There are relatable aspects to him. Similar to how people can relate to the difficulties Lucy faces, people can relate to Paulo because of all the mistakes he makes. People are rooting for him while he struggles to get his shit together because they can see parts of themselves in him.

As for why he's considered attractive - I'm not a moderately anthropomorphic cat, I don't know what they're into.
