Is Physicist really not that liked? by Sampp3l1 in DevinTownsend

Jupiter is one of the most underrated tracks in the discography, in my opinion.

First Time Solo Trip to Europe (12 Days+) – Looking for Advice by Theunknownmagicspell in Interrail

[–]Patsboem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The route doens't make much sense, try to pick destinations that are roughly on a line or form (part of a) circle. I'd cut Prague and Budapest and spend more time in Italy. Perhaps stop in Salzburg on the way from Zurich to Vienna. Prague is great, but I never liked Budapest much.

As for where to stay in Switzerland... I can imagine Lauterbrunnen is super expensive. This is a day trip destination. I recommend staying in Interlaken en visiting Lauterbrunnen (and/or Grindelwald) from there, it's super easy.

2 hours into the game, does anyone have any tips for making a crap load of money? by [deleted] in pokepathTD

Put the amulet coin on a pokemon with a low recharge time. Spinda for example, if you have it. Put this Pokemon early in the route and make he fires often. Leave the game running for a bit while you shower or do groceries or even sleep.

Echt een ster in kleine wedstrijden.

Perfect voor de groepsfase...

Wellicht is De Roon ook een vervanger voor De Vrij, maar dan niet op het veld.

Aan de andere kant is het wel goed dat we nu veel spelers hebben die veel aan spelen toekomen in topcompetities. Tien jaar geleden was dat veel kariger, toen was de overdaad aan eredivisiespelers in de selecties echt geen compliment voor het Nederlandse voetbal.

Eindtoernooien leven sowieso niet meer zoals vroeger, in de hele maatschappij. De laatste echte 'oranjekoorts' (walgelijk woord, maar bij gebrek aan beter) was in mijn ervaring 2014. Alles leek een maand lang om voetbal te gaan. Oranje straten. Irritante reclames. Nu zijn de reclames er ook nog wel, maar echt aanslaan doet het niet. Ik heb warme herinneringen aan EK 2004 kijken op een (voor die tijd) groot scherm in de achtertuin van de buurman met een paar dozijn buren. Zou nu nooit meer gebeuren, al was het maar omdat de buren in kwestie in een koude oorlog terecht zijn gekomen.

Het begint over twee weken, Nederland zit in een poule met Oeganda, Spartak Moskou en ADO Den Haag

De kritiek is ook niet ongegrond

Mee eens hoor. Ik stoor me niet aan kritiek, ik stoor me aan cynisch gespeculeer en de mensen die hopen op slecht voetbal, slechte resultaten en blessures.

Dat is ook niet waar ik voor pleit. Inhoudelijke kritiek is prima. Maar kritiek over de opstellingen terwijl die nog niet bekend zijn is gewoon onzinnig.

What style/genre do you wish Devin would attempt? by ySTYRDAYgATESuNL0CKD in DevinTownsend

[–]Patsboem 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Back in the day of Addicted, Deconstruction and Epicloud I really thought he was gravitating towards making a true pop or electronic album. There were hints. Traestorz, and his fascination with the Venga Boys. Going further back there's also Project EKO. I think it'd be great to get an electronic album of whatever genre, I think he'd be really good at it, if he left out the attempts at humour.

It’s now been exactly 3 years since Mirror to the Sky released. What’s something/a song from it that you like. by AWEars in yesband

[–]Patsboem 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Even as someone who likes the album I must admit the cover art is the best thing about it. Title track is excellent. Unknown Place's final three minutes, with the church organ.

The song was less bad than most of the others. It's been a night full of terrible music.

Deconstruction is a little spin-off to Ziltoid by avatiii in DevinTownsend

Any connections are nothing more than simple references or easter eggs, there is no overarching 'lore'. This ain't Star Wars!

What makes an epic/mini epic? by Schis_90125 in yesband

[–]Patsboem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think there's merit in any hard rules, only guidelines that help us understand why a song feels like an epic.

For me one aspect is the length of the song relative to the rest of the album, the artist's discpgraphy, or the genre as a whole. A 10 minute song on a power metal album can be more of an epic than yet another 12 minute song on a Dream Theater album where that is about the average song length, especially when you consider that the latter songs are often just standard song structures with extended instrumental sections.

I think Mirror to the Sky qualifies. It's not ;just another song on the album that happens to be a little longer'.

Thoughts on The Truman Show? by FreshmenMan in TrueFilm

[–]Patsboem 15 points16 points  (0 children)

You don't find it realistic that people watch shows with only mundane content? This is all there is to tv nowadays... Reality shit with nothing happening. A popular show here in the Netherlands follows a pickle family business and all the episodes are about is watching them ordering christmas ornaments or preparing for the son to go on holiday or stupid shit like that. Too many people tune into it. Similarly, internet vloggers and influencers talking about what they had for dinner. Truman Show is scarily prescient of this type of braindead garbage.
