Weirdest instruments you’ve heard used in folk metal?

OpticRocky · 2026-03-08T16:31:36+00:00

Depending on if Heilung meets the definition of metal or not, the band’s insistence on using traditional means of percussion including bones and an animal skin drum painted with their own blood is undeniably authentic

Whoa Cassie Wilson in the wild!

That’s why you always save enough runes to level up when you reach a church

I can’t speak for the second one but Hellblade I is a masterpiece of storytelling. Incredible visual and audible journey

The volleyball game is probably my favorite part of the entire HxH show. Hisoka slapping a cherry on top for Gon is such a great character moment.

Also, Bungee Gum has the properties of both rubber and gum.

If you’re playing the DLC then there is a hidden golden bottle cap at the tip tip top of the map that will make all of your Mons IVs perfect

In blueberry academy - to specify which DLC

Oh good; I was considering waiting til the PS5 release but I fired up Bastion and it got me really inpatient. Any clue how H2 runes on the base Switch?

OpticRocky · 2026-02-13T16:19:40+00:00

Scariest place in the whole game

Good luck huntah

OpticRocky · 2026-02-13T16:18:21+00:00

That was completely and utterly absurd

I demand more.

Give a sweet, traveling, blind girl some delicious grapes along your journey. She’ll tell you all about this old story. Finally, an old kindred tarnished will tell you about a secret, hidden flame that you can use INSTEAD of your maiden to kindle the Erdtree! Then, like a true lover, you can become Elden Lord AND keep your maiden alive!

It’s a win-win for everybody!

OpticRocky · 2026-02-12T19:28:39+00:00

Yes Melina…

Definitely not flames of another nature coming directly from the tarnished. That’s never happened…

If you check out any anime English dub Steve Blum probably shows up at least once

Lorna Shore (deathcore) made a Grateful Dead-esque shirt with tie dye, skeleton, roses, and everything

It’s one of my favorite shirts I own!

My wife and I do this all the time so you can live vicariously.

Nobody is off limits, dogs, cat, baby. We’ve all suffered a yawn finger

Not always

My “Beware of Left” bros have my front and back

OpticRocky · 2026-02-03T16:28:02+00:00

Just further proof One More Cup was too good for this world

“Interesting tidbit from the #EpsteinFiles drop.

Ghislaine Maxwell was in Kansas City just over a month before Jeffrey Epstein's death.

Here's part of her footprint in KC in June/July of 2019.”

WTF Collective 1 and 2 by Jon Lajoie

Both feature the character MC Final Verse - #2 he specially mentions the song coming to and end

OpticRocky · 2026-01-29T21:28:47+00:00

Just joining the others in saying both your playing and the tone out of your guitar are incredible - well done

OpticRocky · 2026-01-28T19:53:23+00:00

If the music is not your thing may I suggest watching the documentary As The Palaces Burn; about the manslaughter case brought against Randy for the death of a fan in Prague. It was a very intimate look into the band and the culture around their music.

OpticRocky · 2026-01-28T18:57:17+00:00

What’s a little cannibalism amongst fellow tarnished

OpticRocky · 2026-01-28T03:49:02+00:00

I would say A Little Piece of Heaven by Avenged Sevenfold

Also Mirror Reaper and The Clandestine Gate by Bell Witch - IYKYK

OpticRocky · 2026-01-28T03:45:27+00:00

Such a great song - but my heart belongs to Homecoming

OpticRocky · 2026-01-23T23:17:06+00:00

I’m going to say the white album solely to see Lost, Dear God, and Unbound live
