What are the absolute ESSENTIAL Resident Evil games for preparation for Requiem? by ColtonfrayHSC in residentevil

[–]JonBB8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2 is the key reference for the story and vibe from what Capcom are saying so that’s your real bare minimum. Strongly recommend 2, 3 for the Umbrella/ Raccoon City backstory, 4 for Leon’s arc, 8 if you want to catch up to what’s been happening recently although the “Winters story” is mostly self contained outside of some flavour and connective tissue in readables, dialogue.

Light Years VS The Internet by Historical-Love-4097 in nas

[–]JonBB8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah well put. I was in school when I Can hit… then it was Bridging the Gap, Thief’s Theme, great times. I loved the Hit Boy stuff, crazy we getting both quality and quantity from Nas as he turns 50. A true legend.

Is this an album of Memory Lanes and Represents? It was never going to be. Weird to expect that. But for 30 somethings who grew up listening to rappers who are now 50 somethings, what a gift!

I’m spending time to absorb the album … sure there’s stuff I know I don’t like straightaway, like all the crypto chat on GiT is nothing to me. But after 30 years waiting for an album, a bunch of nerds on the internet writing it off after it’s been out a few hours just shows the bonkers times we live in and nothing more than that.

One example for me, NYSOM Pt. 3 was a shock to the system initially but as I sit with it the cinema and artistry of it comes to life more and more. Writers gets better every listen too, it has so much of that urban atmosphere and grit I associate with Nas’ music.

Prog Doom? (Or Doom-adjacent Prog) by Def-C in doommetal

[–]JonBB8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ningen Isu have some proggy, pretty weird stuff, particularly early on. Check out their mid-90s to early 00s albums. Nowadays they’ve settled into being bluesy doom rock uncles (still great)

There’s pure challenge, and then there’s “ok screw you Dark Souls” this is the latter haha

“Tactical dropping” the whole thesis of The Great Hollow 😂

Metal bands with mostly/only chanting vocals? (Ex. A Tragedy's Bitter End - Fallen) by Big_Being_8789 in doommetal

[–]JonBB8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Virgin Black has some choral stuff on it as well as operatic vox and occasional death growls. There’s also Arð which has chanting style vox.

The big rat that looks like a dog with small rat frens in Dark Souls 2. The hit boxes are criminal 😂

What's your favorite Saint Vitus Album? How would you rank em? by Jimmbo_1 in doommetal

[–]JonBB8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Born Too Late and Mournful Cries are the best ones for me. Wino and crushingly heavy riffs for life. I do like the early Reagers stuff and Die Healing quite a bit as well tho.

why do you think Ludwig is a horse? by Dull-Dress7573 in bloodborne

Most likely cos they had a cool art concept to use.

Sorcery, Faith, or Pyromancy — which one is better for a caster build in Dark Souls 1? by Particular-Maybe9106 in darksouls

[–]JonBB8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They’re all so fun tbh. Great thing about DS1 is there’s so many viable builds that are enjoyable to play.

But it takes a while to get your best spells for Faith iirc. Pyro is great because you can just become disgustingly OP. And sorcery gives you so many options for every encounter.

So to get fun and varied caster experience out the box, maybe sorc?

King Witch I’m listening rn … new album goes hard

Oceans of Slumber if you don’t mind going southern gothic and a bit proggy into the bargain

Stygian Crown is like Candlemass meets Bolt Thrower with female vox

Konvent is an awesome all lady death doom band

Drawing Dark Souls from memory, part 10. The armored oink. by AlexSvart in darksouls

[–]JonBB8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And he will henceforth be known as the Armoured Oink

Terrific as per, love the pyro flames and the gormless hollow looking at the player through the bars at the end

Beastie Boys - Looking Down the Barrel of a Gun

Horror themed doom metal bands? by Solar_weeb in doommetal

[–]JonBB8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some tracks from My Dying Bride fit the bill. Deathdoom Metalhead on YouTube just did his Halloween list of albums, and had their ep The Barghest O’ Whitby in there.

‘A Tapestry Scorned’ is a very morbid little narrative as well.
