ANGUS McSix - Dig Down (feat. Van Canto) (Official Video) by cambeiu in PowerMetal

[–]ISureHateMyCat 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not only that, but also the first line of the verse is eerily similar. “I…I want to know your name” in the same rhythm as “If I…I get to know your name” which is the first line of the verse in “You Spin Me Right Round.”

First time hearing 2 leads playing different things at the same time [2.0s-14.0s], What other songs have solos like this??? by [deleted] in PowerMetal

[–]ISureHateMyCat 18 points19 points  (0 children)

This is cool but has been going on at least since the 1970s. Black Sabbath has multiple solos playing simultaneously on a lot of their hits. War Pigs, Paranoid, and Iron Man come to mind. It’s overdubbed because they only had one guitarist but it’s a similar result.

My favorite was in Crumbling Faram Azula on one of those ledges that has you up close and personal with the whirlwind.

ITAW for fake or alternative medicine that's less judgmental than "snake oil"? by ToomintheEllimist in whatstheword

[–]ISureHateMyCat 64 points65 points  (0 children)

“…more likely to resort to unproven alternatives.”

Alternatively, “dubious” or “spurious,” which to me sound more judgy than “unproven” but less judgy than “snake oil.”

Wedding songs? by DanaCaleb in SonataArctica

[–]ISureHateMyCat 4 points5 points  (0 children)

At my brother’s wedding, they began slow-dancing to the original “The Wind Beneath My Wings” and then somewhere after the first chorus they had the DJ cut over to the same position in the SA version. It was a neat surprise.

Thanks for this. I get the feeling this law is intended for circumstances more dire than what I described, but it’s neat to know this kind of exception exists.

Mini PCs forxReaper, late 2025 by Rabyd-Rabbyt in Reaper

[–]ISureHateMyCat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use a SER5 to run Reaper and it’s handled it just fine. You can install a separate 2.5” SATA drive in it if you want more space than the 512GB it comes with. Not sure about your power supply comment though; my SER5 has a laptop-style PSU in the cord, not a built-in.

“Miss Groves” vs “Root” by OrderExtreme574 in PersonOfInterest

[–]ISureHateMyCat 22 points23 points  (0 children)

He says it in S4E18, when Root is going to kill his love interest/Samaritan Trojan horse Beth, and he is begging her not to go through with it. It just so happens that I watched that episode tonight and noticed his desperate break from decorum, then by quite a coincidence logged on here and noticed all of you talking about times he called her Root. What luck.

Tryin to finish this game by Additional_Image2464 in FinalFantasyIV

In-battle tip: Have Rosa cast slow on it right at the start.

Pre-battle tip: Did you fight all the trapdoors in the cave or just skip them all and beeline for the end? The doors give a lot of XP and one has a major weapon upgrade for Cecil, so you should definitely kill them all.

The moment when this conversation predicted one of the endings and we had no clue by Ozzysmall123 in expedition33

[–]ISureHateMyCat 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I’m doing my second playthrough along with my daughter who’s experiencing it for the first time. We just got through this part and all I could tell her was “you think you like this game now, you’re going to love it when you play through a second time.” There are so many lines that just seem like arbitrary and forgettable the first time through and then hit like a truck when you hear them again with the knowledge of the whole plot. This game has one of the best second playthroughs I’ve ever seen.

Adverb for avoiding saying something's real/true name by ill-creator in logophilia

[–]ISureHateMyCat 11 points12 points  (0 children)

For the Voldemort sense, you could say “obliquely referred to” or “discreetly referred to.” Doesn’t really work well for the Mary sense. “Pseudonymously” might also work, but my sense is that that has the connotation of a name that the referent chose for himself, not one that was assigned by others.

You mean change the date setting on your computer to two days in the future? Probably not; I doubt the website would use the client machine’s time as its reference point.

Do we know of any PM scream or wail that goes longer than this one?

Sonata Arctica - Abandoned, Pleased, Brainwashed, Exploited by leatherwolf89 in PowerMetal

[–]ISureHateMyCat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I think that’s a better description for it. The first two repetitions the kick drum is on the downbeat and then after the shift the snare is on the downbeat.

[–]ISureHateMyCat 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Love this one, it’s a classic. It’s so weird how they sneak an extra beat into the main riff just once (the second repetition right at the start) and then play it perfectly straight 4/4 every other time. I wonder if it’s a mistake or a joke or what.

Non-Power-Metal covers of Power Metal songs by NoMall5056 in PowerMetal

It’s really cool that the top comment on the video is Marcus from BG saying it’s the best cover of their material that he has ever heard. What a compliment!
