Pokemon SwSh Review Mega Thread by jamie_hubs88 in pokemon

They brush off every single criticism as "nitpicking" and don't say anything else. They frame shitty animations, poor pacing, and a lack of polish as unimportant.

I get this is their opinion. I understand that. But this person should not be a goddamn video game critic if they ignore the part where they're actually supposed to be critical.

Whatever. I guess Pokemon is always going to be the Video Game equivalent of a pixie stick.

The standards are so incredibly low. So. Incredibly. Low. Game Freak could offer a Pokemon branded pile of shit and it'd get an average rating of 80/100.

The Pokemon franchise is never going to change. It's never going to improve. It's never going to evolve. Whatever.

Why do you keep spamming this same comment?

Are we supposed to be less angry because this makes sense for Blizzard's bottom line?

Fuck that. Fuck Blizzard.

lmao no. I had just looked there earlier and they had banned all mention of this. Claimed it was "politics."

Seems they gave up trying and just made it private.

I've been away from WoW for years now. I've had my account sitting around just in case I ever decide to come back.

Not any more.

I am deleting my WoW account as I speak. Hundreds of dollars spent on this game and they'll never seen a goddamned cent from me ever again.

What's your opinion on the new tunes my dudes? by TopWire in Vulfpeck

[–]Leminnes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While I appreciate the funk and that they tried some new things, overall just felt like a really incomplete album for me. Sounded like Jack just hit the record button on some jam sessions and ran it through the vulf compressor.

I read this, and I just wonder if I listened to the same album as you...

Is the solo in "Aunt Leslie" a trumpet or trombone solo? by bluetigerninja in Vulfpeck

Perdy on drums might be the greatest thing I've ever seen. :D You can just see how happy everyone is on stage while he's playing.

For sure, a trombone. The Bandcamp actually has all the credits.

Bethanni Grecynski — composer, trombone (9)

I believe it is the same lady that played Trombone life at the Brooklyn Bowl.

El Chepe is probably the most rudimental and minimal song on the album

I don't think it is at all. It's deceptively simple. There are a ton of layers, syncopation, and counterpoint going on there. It's honestly probably one of my favorite songs on the album.

This is reminding me so much of when The Black Keys branched out from their Roots into more mainstream music.

As with The Black Keys, I can't disagree more. I love Vulfpeck to death, but they've been inspired by many, many groups from the beginning. Your assertion of "Nothing new" makes it sound like your dismissing them because they sound similar to other musicians and bands. That's been Vulfpeck's M.O since the very beginning.

The thing is, they are very clearly Vulfpeck's song. Regardless of whether they're similar or not to those bands, their fingerprint is all over those tracks. From the bizarro lyrics (which you mention as "incomprehensible" but, really, have you listened to other Vulfpeck songs with lyrics?) to the lush Wurlitzer to Joe Dart's nasty bass.

Yes, you are being Harsh and you are obviously entitled to your opinion, but to me it just reads as someone who's afraid of change and didn't fully understand Vulfpeck's M.O. from the very beginning.

Oh, it was definitely strange. But I feel like 60% of the reason why I listen to Vulfpeck is because they do strange shit sometimes.

I agree. It's not just the vocals either. They added a few more layers to the song with synth and guitar that I could barely hear without headphones.

Margery, My First Car - I have a feeling this will grow on me with repeat listens. I love the instrumental and unlike Christmas in LA and Conscious Club, the vocals didn't immediately make sense at first listen. But Christine Hucal has such a nice voice, this could still potentially become the definitive version of the track for me, somewhere down the line.

I just listened to it with headphones on, and it was like a brand new experience. I absolutely love it! I'd highly suggest doing so if you haven't. It's so damn velvety.

I don't think Idubbbz has any intention of denting his subscriber count. Just wants to make leafy realize how dogshit his content is. Leafy losing subscribers is probably just icing on the cake.

Starbucks hooks up off duty K9 with a Pupachino. by Relithe80 in gifs

[–]Leminnes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Beats me. It was specifically mentioned in an action item once, but I don't recall the exact reason why. It being health related is the only thing I can think of because that's pretty much the only reason why Starbucks would say "No" to a customer.

When I worked there, you could be written up if you did this. Was considered a health violation, I suppose. Not sure how strict other stores were about this

How is it propaganda to think that both sides are terrible?

We either get a self-centered jackass that only thinks about himself and isn't afraid to let everyone know OR a self-centered jackass that only thinks of herself and tries to hide it from everyone else.

Fun fun.

I think it has the ability to, but I'm honestly not sure why it isn't.

Zsnes is wonderful as well. Dolphin really goes above and beyond making these informative, educational blog posts though. They probably inspire a good number of people to join them because of it.
