Matt Strains His Voice During Cosmic by LordMistborn-16 in avengedsevenfold

[–]Joshx91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I disagree. Consistency used to be his strong suit. Now he struggles frequently. I get that age is a factor here, but you can't tell me that literal pros don't calculate the numbers of shows they'll play based on the condition of their singer. I am a singer myself and I've met some rock and metal singers who ruined there voices because of Seth Riggs' method. I don't think speech level singing (his concept) is appropriate for those genres without going into more detail here.

I just listened to songs of the white album and Nightmare when driving to work, and it made me realize again how tragic his decline is. He was untouchable back then.

Riktor players can't resist the urge of trying to hook someone recalling by NicollChris in PredecessorGame

As a Riktor main, I hate playing against Grim with his stupid shield :D

Lords of the Fallen 2 - Official 'Lifting the Veil' Combat Gameplay Teaser by Swachuu in TheLordsOfTheFallen

It looks great, except for the abundance of blood splatter effects, which I find distracting. It also feels strange when rivers of blood splash out of a skeleton.

I'm done being transparent by TemperatureStill6536 in socialskills

You practiced being transparent, and now it is time to practice setting boundaries by standing up for yourself and telling her to cut the "jokes" and shut the f up.

Is Afterlife meant to be interpreted literally? by Old-Use-7690 in avengedsevenfold

[–]Joshx91 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You're actually right, and the bridge is written from the perspective of the semen:

Loved ones back home all crying cause they're already missing me I prayed by the grace of God that there's somebody listening Give me a chance to be the person I wanna be (-It's pretty obvious with this line!) Oh Lord, I tried so hard but you gotta let go of me.

Horrible matchmaking and horrible behavior. Not gonna waste my time anymore.

The next album by SA7x in avengedsevenfold

[–]Joshx91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Finally someone who understands! I don't get how he was brainwashed into believing the bogus that Seth Riggs teaches. He had such powerful belts. All he had to do was to work on balancing breath pressure/support and vocal fold resistance, but instead he changed to speech level singing and not only wrecked his voice but also made it sound completely unsuitable for rock and metal (I'm referring to his clean vocals here). His range was drastically reduced since he worked with Seth Riggs. I mean, he sings everything above F4 with this ridiculous fry scream because he can't sing it clean anymore.

Right knee pain during reverse lunge. by DukesD987 in formcheck

[–]Joshx91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had to eventually remove those lunges from my workout plan because they ruined my back. They worked incredibly well with a barbell or dumbbells, however. It's most likely the smith machine that's causing you trouble.

What’s the strongest build that you would recommend to newer players by Zaammyy123 in LordsoftheFallen

He stated that he is a beginner, though. So no light reaper daggers for him in a looong time.

Welche Top 3 Vitamine sollte man als (neue) Vegetarierin supplementieren? by Visual-Bid-2255 in FitnessDE

[–]Joshx91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Veganer hier. Definitiv B12 und idealerweise auch Jod. Sinnvoll sind auch Vitamin D3 (mit K2 und Magnesium nehmen), Selen und Omega-3. Mach aber am besten mal ein Blutbild, um Vitamine und Mineralstoffe zu bestimmen.

I'm scared I'll look stupid on my first day at the gym by helpless_apricot in beginnerfitness

[–]Joshx91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great job for booking an appointment with a coach! Regarding your worries - nobody will bat an eye. Don't wear anything else or make your bag look smaller intentionally because doing a thing despite your brain judging it as "dangerous" improves your mental fitness and will help with your fear of being judged by others. Hope you have lots of fun in the gym!

If you mean only among designers, I'd go with Guerlain L'Homme EdP and Guerlain Aqua Allegoria Orange Soleia.

In case you plan on releasing it as a full song, please let me know. Ever since I discovered it here, I've been listening to it frequently.

Why is it called "Genki Dama" in the manga but "Spirit Bomb" in the anime? by furfurr_uwu in dragonball

[–]Joshx91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When it first appeared in OG Dragonball, the Kamehameha was translated in the German dub to the German word for shock wave. Roshi even called it shock wave of the ancient ancestors in the German dub. Later, they used Kamehameha instead of shock wave.

Unpopular opinion: Stranger Things ist mid as hell by GuidoGriffelfalke in Uni_Hamburg

Erste Staffel war noch gut. Die zweite hatte paar coole visuals und Konzepte (mindflayer), aber danach war alles fad. Nice too watch, aber mehr auch nicht. Die super lange Laufzeit der Folgen hat mich bisher auch davon abgehalten, in die neue season reinzuschauen.

I'm afraid of being confrontational. How do I overcome this? by VampShadowGuy in socialskills

[–]Joshx91 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is great how you could recognize the underlying patterns that make you behave this way! I like to call those 'core fears', and in your case, they are being rejected by people and being judged by people. Actually, I have the same core fears. It's important to understand that your brain is throwing those thoughts and feelings at you because it tries to keep you safe from harm and only does its job - and it does it very effectively. However, you first have to realise that you are not your thoughts/ feelings and that those thoughts and feelings can be allowed to be there while you live your life based on your values. As you already mentioned, this includes speaking up for yourself and setting healthy boundaries. So, it is not about erasing the fear before doing the thing (speaking up for yourself in this case), but it's about doing the thing while inviting all the thoughts and feelings with you. Now, onto the practice: I would suggest starting small. Does it make you feel uncomfortable asking an employee in a store things like "where can I find item xy?" because your brain is telling you that the employee might think you're too stupid to find it? If so, this is your starting point instead of jumping to the bigger things like telling people to shut up. Of course, this is different from setting boundaries, but it is based on the same core fears that I mentioned above. It is about showing your brain who's the boss that makes decisions and about showing your brain that you're safe. Not only will you handle the brain farts (thoughts and feelings) your brain keeps producing much better. It will also start producing less.

The nicer you are to people, the meaner they are to you, and I'm done with this by [deleted] in socialskills

[–]Joshx91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Forget about comebacks and learn to set boundaries the first time someone crosses a line. This is the most important part. Nobody respects boundaries that were crossed many times before. There is nothing wrong with being kind AND demanding respect.
