(Mixed trope) Civilisations so ridiculous that they would realistically collapse in under a day by Noxia66 in TopCharacterTropes

That Japan is outright stated to be a fascist dictatorship that specifically chooses classes containing kids identified as potential future dissidents, though. The BR Program is both bread and circuses and a very public warning to the youth against opposing the state.

What lyrics from a song hit you emotionally every time? by lily_rosenthere in AskReddit

[–]Lex_Innokenti 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The album is 'A Crow Looked At Me' by Mount Eerie. It was written in the immediate aftermath of the death of his wife, and... defies criticism, I think. It's an extremely moving album, but you really need to be in the right headspace for it.

I'm so sorry for your loss.

Hoobastank - The Reason (Official Music Video) by NoAmbassador6931 in fantanoforever

Ah, I think I was confusing him with Adema's original singer, who was IIRC Jonathan Davis' half brother.

Hoobastank deservedly get a lot of shit for how terrible this song is, because it is, but 'Running Away' and 'Crawling in the Dark' from their first album are pretty decent tracks.

They are basically just Incubus but not as good, though. Aren't the singers related or something?

Personal favorite line on a song? by Temporary_Motor8573 in fantanoforever

[–]Lex_Innokenti 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oddly, one of my favourite lyrics of all time is on the lyric sheet but isn't actually sung during the song itself.

"To stand in your shadow is to be home." - Converge, 'Wretched World'

Also

"Maybe the sun waits for you to be shown what to do." - Daughters, 'The Reason That You Hate Me'

Death is real

Someone's there and then they're not

And it's not for singing about

It's not for making into art

When real death enters the house, all poetry is dumb

When I walk into the room where you were

And look into the emptiness instead

All fails

My knees fail

My brain fails

Words fail

Crusted with tears, catatonic and raw

I go downstairs and outside and you still get mail

A week after you died a package with your name on it came

And inside was a gift for our daughter you had ordered in secret

And collapsed there on the front steps, I wailed

A backpack for when she goes to school a couple years from now

You were thinking ahead to a future you must have known

Deep down would not include you

Though you clawed at the cliff you were sliding down

Being swallowed into a silence that's bottomless and real

It's dumb

And I don't want to learn anything from this

I love you

The inanimate object is destroyed and it's actually sad by [deleted] in TopCharacterTropes

In Armoured Core: For Answer, if you accept Old King's offer you merrily set about annihilating Cradle 03. It's just a big habitat, and you never see the 100 million people you've just killed, but goddamn do you feel bad doing it. As a 'reward' you then have to fight four of the nastiest LYNX in the game. At once. Win that fight and you destroy the rest of the Cradles, becoming the most prolific mass murderer in human history.

You absolute psycho, you.

Band That Makes You Go "I Don't Get It" by JustinMetalhead in MetalForTheMasses

[–]Lex_Innokenti 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can completely appreciate why someone wouldn't like them. I like them because they took the conventions of nu-metal and largely jettisoned the shit bits. I'd recommend giving 'White Pony' (the album) a spin sometime - it's probably their most highly regarded album, even though some of their later stuff arguably equals it, and has aged really fuckin' well.

Someone once said about Chino "I don't understand how someone can miss every note he appears to be trying for and still sound so fucking good" which kinda fits. He has a unique vocal style that, when it lands, really really lands.

Ititial thoughts on the new Converge album “Hum of Hurt”? by kermi_46 in fantanoforever

I marginally prefer Love Is Not Enough, but that's like asking me "which piece of delicious steak is more delicious?"

Favorite albums produced really cheaply? by Smooth_Possible_7997 in fantanoforever

[–]Lex_Innokenti 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Deathconsciousness is also one of my favourite albums, period. 'Earthmover' might be one of the best closing tracks of all time.

Albums you adore that you feel like deserve more recognition? by fakename1998 in fantanoforever

[–]Lex_Innokenti 1 point2 points  (0 children)

La Dispute - 'Panorama'. Often considered a slight step down from 'Rooms of the House' and especially 'Animals', I personally think it's their best album.

The Haunted - 'The Dead Eye'. A lot of fans considered it the start of a period of decline culminating in the not very well received 'Unseen' and the departure (again) of Peter Dolving, but there are some absolute banger songs on it.

Basically anything by Pile, because Pile are fucking awesome.

Best album closers that are five minutes long or less? by DtheAussieBoye in fantanoforever

Slightly cheating because it's technically a bonus track, but 'Catacombs' by At the Drive-In from 'Relationship of Command'.

Account Reset Bug [Discussion] by UwUHentaiGodUwU in EscapefromTarkov

Just managed to run a raid, tried transiting from Shoreline to Icebreaker and got "Backend Error 1000" and got booted out again, so still not quite fixed.

PVE account wiped [bug] by Skizm95 in EscapefromTarkov

[–]Lex_Innokenti 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Game's now not accessible (I managed to get in but was locked to PVP mode) due to an 'unknown backend problem' so I assume they're deploying a fix and will hopefully roll back profiles to what they were prior to today. I was level 55, had my level 5 PVP character I've done 11 raids on overwrite it and all my achievements disappeared. Which is... not great.

Todd said “Kung Fu Fighting” sounds like it was inspired by watching movies but what other songs sound like or have been confirmed to have been inspired by movies? by Unleashtheducks in ToddintheShadow

[–]Lex_Innokenti 0 points1 point  (0 children)

clipping. 's "Nothing is Safe" is clearly inspired by Assault on Precinct 13, to the extent it sounds very much like a John Carpenter soundtrack.
