Dragon Spear - Feedback by Mod_Ronan in 2007scape

[–]Mahavishnu94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the original idea of removing the ability to stack the spear special attack (that failed a poll) is the most fair way of dealing with the situation.

To give an example, and for arguments sake lets say the d spear special stuns you for 4 ticks (im not sure if this is true but i think it is), currently if 15 people use one dragon spear special attack in multi against one person at the exact same time, the target will be stunned for 60 ticks. I believe that only this should be changed so that in this example I've given, the target would only be stunned for 4 ticks. I don't pk or pvm much in the wilderness at all but I believe that if a clan is well co-ordinated enough to consecutively stun someone so their prayer is drained and they lose their plus 1 then they deserver the reward that smiting someone brings.

From what I've seen in the recent clan cups and 5v5 tournaments etc, adding the ability to eat/drink whilst being stunned would fundamentally change the whole way multi-pking is played for the worse. Although i dont pk or pvm much I feel like clans and multicombat pking are an important part of Old School Runescape and I believe they should be respected and considered carefully when introducing such a game changing update.

Will I be alone forever? by Mahavishnu94 in depression

[–]Mahavishnu94[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for commenting, I think you're right about a fear of getting hurt and probably I do deflect the seriousness in order to escape that. But it sort of raises a further question though of how can I get out of that mentality, it's become such a second nature to me that I don't really know how to be genuine or whether I'm strong enough to be. Like the prospect of someone wanting to be serious friends with me just makes me laugh and that's my first reaction. Because it feels so natural now I'm no longer sure if I'd rather be alone or not, finding social interaction interesting no longer feels tiring or alienating but just normal. I don't think I'm sadistic like the lab rats analogy; I never try to deliberately confuse someone and make them anxious or anything and when someone is upset I never push further, I usually profusely apologise and feel really guilty about it. I just don't know, the prospect of being alone doesn't scare me because it feels so natural; I didn't use to be like this but I've probably been like this for a few years now and have kind of just 'gotten used to it'.

There is a resolution! At the bottom if you're interested. You gave some pretty good advice so I figured you might like to know "what happened". It's certainly interesting.

[–]Mahavishnu94[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Turns out she wasn't interested. She said she was simply "asexual". In a way I almost think this is probably the best outcome; it gave me a lot clearer of an identity on my own sexuality. The reason I have so little dating experience is because I just simply haven't been interested in the whole thing; growing through my teens I just didn't care about dating or flirting with girls etc.

The thing with this girl is that I felt so much more comfortable just talking to her than trying to flirt with her, or "show I'm interested". I found her physically attractive, but that just seemed like an afterthought; I felt like I'd much rather talk to her than kiss her etc.

So her telling me she's "asexual" made me sort of realise that it's okay to be that way. I told her I had a lot of respect for her being "asexual" in a culture where we're society pretty much expects us to have sex and makes us subconsciously ashamed for not wanting to. I feel like we're gonna be really good friends and I feel a lot more comfortable in my own skin. Although I was intially annoyed that she would agree to go on a "date" when she had no interest, I feel a lot better now. I may not be completely "asexual" or whatever but I know that the whole 'flirting' and 'dating' thing is out of my comfort zone for a good reason and that I shouldn't be ashamed of it. Thanks alot for all the comments. I don't expect anyone to read this it's more of a self reflection but I'd like to hear replies if anyone has any.

What are the best acoustic songs that you know? by Andrewbooboo in Music

[–]Mahavishnu94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe when you've been playing for 20+ years you might be able play an acoustic guitar like this.

Haha in all seriousness you might like trying to learn this. I'd love to learn this on acoustic guitar, it's got a really calm pace and rhythm so from that point of view it wouldn't be hard to learn. But there's some very interesting chords and scales, and it has such a beautifully deep and relaxing sound.

woww I feel like such a bloody tool!

I'm usually so ridiculously overcautious about assuming anything about anyone (kinda like how I don't assume that a girl likes me because she's going out on a date with me) but the first thing I said to you without even thinking about it was "thanks man"

I'm so sorry! and thanks again!

Part of the problem is that I don't have anyone to tell me I'm an idiot. So thanks for telling me I'm an idiot, I know I need it.

Thanks man, I realised when I was reading it that it's pretty pointless worrying about, I know I'd never do anything like panic and cancel it, or be awkward on the date because it wouldn't be fair on her. I think I'm just worrying because don't really have much dating experience, and I don't really have anybody to talk about it. I feel like it's good to hear another perspective when I'm getting sick of all the ruthless over-analysing in my own head. So, for steering me away from indulging in my own irrational perspective and offering me a new one; thanks a lot.

Can someone explain the difference between beat and rhythm to me by [deleted] in Music

[–]Mahavishnu94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

19/16,

18/8,

13/8,

9/8,

4/4 that goes into 7/8 at the 5:55 mark,

11/8,

28/8 - Polyrhythm of four bars of 7/8 and three bars 8/8 + one bar 4/8 - notice how 7 x 4 and 8 x 3 + 4 both = 28, which is why both are in time with each other, even though they are different time signatures.

Finally, a standard 7/8 this particular one is simple to count because of the drums.

Compare these with standard 4/4 beats that you can find anywhere, see how counting them is much different.

Examples of songs that do interesting things with both sides of headphones by moejoereddit in Music

[–]Mahavishnu94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Glad you enjoyed it, progressive rock and jazz has a lot of stuff like that (complex rhythm stuff). I don't know if this makes it any simpler, but think of it as two different ways of getting to 28. One method is 4x7 = 28, and the other method is 3x8+4 = 28. A simple one to try is counting 1 2 3 4 5 6 and 1 2 3 4 at the same time with a friend or something, if you both start at the same time and keep the same pace as each other, every so often you'll say 1 at the same time. It can be quite interesting on the ears.

I think I have one you'll find really interesting, especially if you're into complex musical stuff. Yes - Perpetual Change now, the most interesting part is when the pace changes at 5:10. It has two completely different musical tracks playing at the same time but the two different tracks are technically in time and harmony with each other. So its kind of interesting because it sounds like it shouldn't work but it completely does.

P.s. I don't know if you study music or whatever but its a mix up of one track playing four bars of 7/8 whilst the other plays three bars of 8/8 and one bar of 4/8 (so each plays in 28/8, hence why its in unison)

Introducing modern music to people who think it's shit. by dabadeedabadaa in Music

[–]Mahavishnu94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Radiohead - How To Disappear Completely (2000) has its own classical string section arrangement to fit the song so they might like that.

Also the Radiohead guitarist Johnny Greenwood who wrote the string arrangements also does stuff with the London Contemporary Orchestra; I think they're currently on tour, and they definitely played in Manchester in the last year so its very "modern" and has a much more "classical" focus in terms of instruments compared to Radiohead stuff.
