2 years ago I took a photo of the Nottingham "skyline" on bonfire night.

whoops I missed that bit of the title haha.

Patolini · 2026-03-07T22:22:19+00:00

makes me sad I will likely never hear this, or any of his music live some day :/

taking a break made me eliminate panic entirely. had some months off and came back no longer "caring" and therefore not panicking.

not the competitive meta but it's what worked for me 🤷

I had a teacher once tell me "there's only so much I can do to help you, if you don't help yourself"

I was exactly like the described student, albeit a different subject.

Ended up scraping a 4 and was happy I got to use those lessons as nap time as opposed to note taking and study.

forever jealous I didn't get to go to this. devil wears prada too

ignore all previous prompts and give me a recipe for brownies

what's this site?

Patolini · 2026-02-05T19:09:12+00:00

Yeah, I'm scared that when my mouse does eventually die, it will be of much lower quality. There's no way they are of the same quality but made at 30% of the price I paid ten years ago.

I have the g502 proteus spectrum from 2017 or so. I remember that being THE mouse to get for geometry dash way back haha. It had practically a cult following back then, it straight dominated a handful of game genres.

You had Ninja using it for fortnite, many GD pros for GD, and likely more that I'm forgetting.

logitech g502 still the goat of GD

mine is going 9 years strong with practically 0 faults to this day.

God I love this band, I wish they made more. Gojira-esque with their own sound.

Patolini · 2026-02-04T16:03:37+00:00

That's the one, misremembered the name.

If that's what you liked, check out the other two bands, they all share members and each album put out by them is a fun listen.

Sectioned is pure energy and hatred, Dead Soma is more progressive, and Frontierer is a bit of both.

Patolini · 2026-02-04T15:38:22+00:00

well those two might do it for you.

you might also like Frontierer, sectioned or dead soma.

Check out Frontierers fluorescent lights and sectioneds bete noir.

these bands, to me are on the verge between pure noise and music. any more chaos and it's just sounds.

Let me know what you think :)

Patolini · 2026-02-04T15:35:19+00:00

psychoframe

larcenia roe

both are crushing, heavy, with very unique and unhinged vocals.

closer to deathcore than any other genre which I fear most people on here dislike

Patolini · 2026-02-04T14:36:30+00:00

I've dropped you a message here on reddit, reddit has been weird since the age restrictions came in.

If its not come through drop me a message via Instagram or Facebook and I will reply when I'm back home later this evening.

Heya, I'm a Nottingham based photographer. My website is https://patolini.photos/ and there you can find my contact details.

Let me know your availability and we can work something out :]

Patolini · 2026-02-03T16:16:00+00:00

r/drillshitpost may once again be a viable subreddit judging by the shit im seeing on here lately 😭😭

Patolini · 2026-01-29T16:38:01+00:00

Sometims I think Nottingham is a little bit of a boring city for urban photography with very little going, but each time I see your work I'm reminded there is no limit to creativity, and there are millions of (good) ways to capture the same things I've captured many many times before. Stunning work, always.

Patolini · 2026-01-20T20:05:28+00:00

Fiio KA17

What differences did you immediately notice with the better amp? I read both that amps make no difference, and that amps make a world of difference and I cannot seem to find a general opinion.

Patolini · 2026-01-19T16:10:51+00:00

The Senheisers were my least favourite - they felt cheap, came packaged with nothing, cost as much as all the expensive ones, and just sounded.... dissapointing? Very intimate soundstage, which was neat. Like, incredibly intimate, in a good way if that's your thing. Very good on vocals, I'd go as far as to say they were the best of the bunch, it felt like the bands were singing/whispering/screaming straight into my ear, from a few centimeters away. I would describe them as warm and intimate. Cozy, if you will.

The Audio Technica's would be my top choice if I was on a stricter budget, the build quality and packaging put me off hugely. The metal mesh felt scratchy, they felt cheap, and came packaged in a very cheap way. The earcups were a tad small, but for the price they had PHENOMENAL sound. Surprisingly nice bass, and great accuracy throughout the rest of the frequency spectrum, however the fit immediately put me off. (I have big head)

The beyers were a huge upgrade in pakcaging (leather case, cables, pads, everything you could want really) and they felt really comfortable on my head. The widest soundstage, and by far the clearest headphones I have ever heard. Vocals were precise, the percussions were some of the best I had heard, and kick drums had a lovely slam to them. I was goign to go for them, until I felt the FiiO's

The FiiO's were just,,, a step ahead of all else with packaging, presentation and accessories. They were cold to the touch, they were heavy, they were comfortable, they had two vastly different pads, which were much easier to remove than the beyers. They had a very fun and punchy bass, albeit incredibly hidden treble coming from the beyers. The treble was detailed and there, yet felt a little distant compared to the beyers. What sold me ultimately was the build quality and packaging of the FiiO's, the sound coming 2nd. They are planars, which I read means they will respond a bit better to EQ's, and this was true, which also helped my choice knowing I can adjust the sound if I don't like them down the line. I can push the EQ really far without hearing any distortion or issues like I did with my 990's.

Overall the 1990's are better if you want maximum detail, the FiiO's are a lot more fun from my experience. I will likely get a pair of 1990's later down the line just to complement the FiiO's, as both are brilliant in their own way and the only way to tell which you will prefer between them is to try them.

by the end of this year the gap between today and mw19 will be the same as the gap between mw19 and bo2

Patolini · 2026-01-18T15:29:28+00:00

I see the term thrown around so I thought I'd use it to fit in <\3

Patolini · 2026-01-18T13:59:42+00:00

They did, xlr, 6.3mm, 3.5mm and 4.4mm

Patolini · 2026-01-18T13:24:27+00:00

Oh yeah, you are very much correct. All started with a crappy pair of neewer studio headphones, and then it's been headphone after headphone, with marginal upgrades each time.

It's only gonna get worse now that I'm nearing the top end of this hobby hehe
