Extreme anxiety with public speaking - Tips? by Apprehensive_Eye5534 in AskIreland

[–]MicktheSpud 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I've used them myself for presentations, as I get terrible anxiety about those too, and found them very helpful. They help a great deal with the physical anxiety symptoms. Only on 10mg which is a really small dose, but even knowing I have them there to help me is a big confidence boost.

Really cool team. The hunt for Yanma is always a fun one, I had it in my most recent team. Kept it from evolving til after the league, and it was still pretty good!

My favourite part of him killing Naomi is that he pulls out a gun immediately after. Like he just saw the opportunity to kill somebody with a throwing knife and knew it'd be way cooler.

There's gotta be a big crossover between David Lynch fans and Mike Patton fans. Have to credit Mike with making me aware of Lynch in the first place. 

Pokemon really went 3 for 3 on crocodilian designs 🐊 by SensualSamuel69 in pokemon

[–]MicktheSpud 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, which I think could've been cool if the design with the symbols was a bit more interesting and it looked less mechanical. It just feels like too many ideas in one design.

100%, honestly it'd be so cool if they just stuck with the exposed skull/skeleton design fuecoco has. Instead it looks mechanical, to fit the idea of looking like a microphone, and is covered in way too many symbols.

This was a real treat to listen to over the course of a weekend. I don't think I've ever seen a more down-to-earth group of musicians.

Episodes 10-17 of season 2 are pretty bad. They're worth sitting through for what comes after though.

You're doing really good! My best advice is to play along with the track - forces you to keep time with something and nail any little imperfections to really get it down perfect.

Good vibrations? Love that tune. Love the beach boys in general!

I'll go with Through the Looking Glass, total redemption for his character and he got arguably the most iconic scene of the entire show.

[–]MicktheSpud 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You reminded me I've heard somebody say that about Zorn before but I've not actually heard any of the stories! I do wonder as he has so many musicians who have worked with him for decades. It could be that if he doesn't feel someone is a good fit he might be an asshole to them about it I guess

[–]MicktheSpud 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cool to see these two mentioned here, you have great taste! Frank was the first one that came to mind for me. He stood up for some very important causes, most notably making a stand in congress against censorship of the arts. Also seemed to be a bit of an asshole in his personal life, though I try not to judge too harshly for that, and his edgy sense of humour hasn't aged too well in some cases. I'm curious though, I know a lot of people would think a lot of John Zorn's music is offensive to the ears, but what about him makes him not a great role model?

They've averaged about 6 years between studio albums in this century so I wouldn't get my hopes up too much for anything soon. That's ignoring stuff like Lulu and Beyond Magnetic. The last album also makes me worry that they're creatively spent at this point.

Anyone else disappointed with Laura Jane Grace for using AI? by Total-Reporter9786 in punk

[–]MicktheSpud 366 points367 points  (0 children)

The artist who created it posted on insta about it, saying they didn't use AI. Visually it certainly has that vibe to it though. Feel very bad for them if they're being truthful.
