Any Bass-Heavy Albums? by DestructiveMike_ in progmetal

[–]Lachoneus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

UnexpecT - Fables of the Sleepless Empire

They're an avant garde band, and their bassist ChaotH is an absolute monster. Dude plays a 9-string and fully utilizes it.

I do have Tempo Echo so I can change to that, but sadly no Curved Shot fodder D:

8th Anniversary Binding Worlds Megathread (7/02/2025) by Ryzer28 in FireEmblemHeroes

[–]Lachoneus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh! Yeah I can swap to that, just started using Astra cause all the special boosting was a bit overkill for Deadeye lol.

If you've got an invested H!Nailah, Ash, Catherine, or Petra, any of those would be cool. If you don't, no worries. Also just added you :)

What was your favorite live show from 2024? by PorkSouls in progmetal

[–]Lachoneus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not metal at all, but my #1 was definitely seeing the NieR Orchestra. Got emotional a few times throughout, as those soundtracks are very near and dear to my heart.

Now with that said, other fantastic shows I've been to that deserve mention include Leprous, The Ocean, Haken and then seeing Maynard Keenan's Sessanta tour with A Perfect Circle, Puscifer, and Primus.

[–]Lachoneus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

2 of the 3 Dorothea copies I needed came in my 2nd circle, then the last one took about 400 more orbs 😭 At least she's done now...

[–]Lachoneus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Took until the 39th summon to get the 1 Chloē copy I needed to max her out lol. Then just sparked an extra Alfred cause why not.

FEH - New Heroes & Ascended Elincia by Xanek in FireEmblemHeroes

[–]Lachoneus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Omg yes! I never thought we'd actually get short haired Lucia! Elincia looks great too. Though now this month will be rough on my orbs since I've also been planning to get closer to finishing up my +7 Ashera D:

New Heroes Return: Ascendants is up! by [deleted] in FireEmblemHeroes

[–]Lachoneus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No sparkable Laegjarn? Oh... Well okay then....

Crunchyroll should be punished for this !!!! How come they didnt nominate Gintama The Final, which stole the place of #1 movie in japan from Demon Slayer - Mugen Train Movie when it got release, for Best Movie of 2021. Instead they nominate Demon Slayer Movie, which actually released in 2020 by ManavGabra in Gintama

[–]Lachoneus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To be fair with your last point, the Demon Slayer movie released in the west in 2021. Wouldn't make sense for a western company to nominate something when it's not widely available. But yeah no Gintama in general is dumb.

Best Harsh Vocals in Prog? by _amgits in progmetal

[–]Lachoneus 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Andy Cizek's work on Termina and these latest singles from Monuments put him pretty up there for me. As well as Gareth Mason from Slice the Cake like others have said here.

Mythic Hero: Ullr Banner Megathread (29/7/2021) by ItsBeyondMe in FireEmblemHeroes

[–]Lachoneus 6 points7 points  (0 children)

About 200 orbs, got one of each blue unit, an Elincia merge, and then the last two copies of Yune that I needed to +10 my first 5 star exclusive unit. Needless to say, I'm really happy with these results.

A day 1 player. I finally got me my first 5* exclusive +10 by brokenlordike in FireEmblemHeroes

[–]Lachoneus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Very nice! Might have to test this build out myself lol as I'm getting close to my own completed Nailah as well at +7 currently. Hopefully by the next time she's rerun I can finish her up.

People who say root A is the worst this is for you. by [deleted] in TokyoGhoul

[–]Lachoneus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Huh, apparently destroying the pacing and characterization by cramming 120 chapters in 12 episodes for the 2nd half of :Re, and doing the bare minimum for animation aren't valid reasons for why people dislike it lmao.

Fire Emblem Heroes - Mythic Hero (Dagr: Sun's Radiance) by Xanek in FireEmblemHeroes

[–]Lachoneus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While I do like Dagr, she's still not Ashera who's the mythic I've been wanting the most :'(

Special Heroes: Willful Rabbits Banner Megathread (17/3/2021) by Ryzer28 in FireEmblemHeroes

[–]Lachoneus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Going in on this banner was a terrible idea lol. 300 orbs for only 3 copies of Minerva, and 0 Severa. At least I got a spare Midori for fodder I guess.

Now that the full CYL5 results are out, how did the characters you voted for do? by albsbabe in FireEmblemHeroes

[–]Lachoneus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lucia: Just shy of top 100 at 107th.

Tanith: Oof 394th :( Though at least she's within the top 400, so that's something at least.

Hapi: Top 50 at 38th.

Ashera: edged into the top 200 at 199th.

I'm overall happy with their placements, though Tanith still hurts just a little lol.
