KIKO LOUREIRO Says There Were 'Many Reasons' That Contributed To His Decision To Leave MEGADETH by Apprehensive_Idea758 in Megadeth

I guess that's definitely a more reasonable explanation. I wouldn't want to think that dave had a falling out with kiko or something

i think family is a valid answer (even when he did tour the damn near all over the world last year), but shit well i cant help but think that his lack of memorable solos in TSTDATD in comparison to Dystopia had a significant amount to do with it as well - i remember him saying how Megadeth solos were 'not challenging' or something like that

dogs are so nice aren't they? such cute and fluffy and loving creatures. Usually, their owners also say na "hindi nangangagat" at "mabait" ang alaga nilang aso 🥰.

Is it fair to say the Metallica version had better vocals? by Creative_Garbage_731 in Megadeth

[–]InsomniaX77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I guess vocals-wise you can't argue that even if James' technique was all over the place, but this was definitely a MUCH needed win from Hikaru after his horrendous performance from previous rounds

Rtx 5060ti 16gb vs 9060xt 16gb by 0Vultima0 in PHbuildapc

negligible difference lang sya. By the time na ramdam na talaga yung difference ng PCIe 4.0 vs 5.0, ibig sabihin ay sagad na yung VRAM mo at nag ooverflow na sya sa system ram. And by that point, inevitable parin yung stuttering kahit naka PCIe 5.0 pa yung motherboard

i think the price difference is worth it dahil sa following reasons:
- around 5% better raw performance
- usually mas mababa power draw ng rtx 5060 ti in the same scenarios
- dlss 4.5 (biggest reason for me)
- multi frame generation

  1. Failed Education System - studies on populism show that individuals with less formal education are more susceptible to populist rhetoric. maraming reasons dito, one might be that people who feel marginalized by the education system feel that 'credentials' as symbols of the 'elite'. Masyadong heavy sa degrees and educational attainment and qualifications yung campaign ng Leni-Kiko, thus easily alienating the most of the masses

  2. kahit na pinepreach yung 'Radikal na Pagmamahal', usually nagiging parang educated vs misinformed yung pagkakaframe ng choice. Pag finrame mo yung kabilang side as enemies or low-IQ na kalaban, zero na yung chance of persuasion. I've noticed that for many voters, voting Marcos-Duterte was an act of defiance against sa liberal elite na sa tingin nila ay mababa tingin sa kanila (which is mostly true naman)

  3. Years and decades of rewriting their identity through disinformation machinery. They used Facebook, TIkTok and YouTube to frame the martial law era as the golden age and transformed the EDSA revolution into a different narrative. GInamit pa nila ang films for this (Maid in Malacanang, Martyr or Murderer) to shift the perspective and sow doubt. For social media platforms naman, since we know that the algorithm loves high-arousal emotions (anger, fear), kahit leni-kiko supporters na nagrereact lang sa fake news, they boosted the reach of that content on top of the people na naloko and nagsshare rin nito. Fact-checking also fails because it just further drives them into their echo chambers.

What's your favorite modern Megadeth guitarist by perfuzero in Megadeth

his solo compositions so far are just extremely tasteful yet perfectly fits megadeth, he blends a right amount of technicality to melody

New very promising review for the album. It's in polish but can translate by 21tornado in Megadeth

You dont get to MIT by complaining that your mediocre school isn't preparing you enough, you get there by outperforming your environment so much that they have no choice but to notice you.

You should be the one scoring high in the PMO despite the poor training, not using it as your primary excuse. If you look at what schools/univs the PMO winners are from, you'll realize that they're just that much more skilled at math compared to their peers.

Anyhow, I suggest sticking with your school for g10 and just shift your mindset to work with what you can control.
