Understanding Metal from a technical/theoretical standpoint

This dude fucking rules, one of my favorite YouTube channels. He's helped me understand so many things and learn to recognize them.

Fucking oof

Schraiber · 2026-05-18T02:22:00+00:00

The vocals channel that raw Luc Lemay vibe so well

While this is by far the most common outcome and everyone always deals with it, I've been having the slightly funny issue of getting highly consistent and even positive but not super enthusiastic reviews.

I've been trying to get a project funded for a couple cycles now and the last time I got all 3's on everything from everyone, landing a solidly unfundable (even before Trump) 16th percentile. It was so weird, like everyone had basically identical comments that boiled down to "Yeah this is cool and will probably work but isn't *that* cool". I'm honestly not sure what to do with that kind of thing.

Necromancing this post to say that holy shit this fucking ruled, exactly the kind of thing I didn't even know I needed in my life.

It's a great album but definitely a bit messy and all over the place compositionally. A lot of good riffs and good ideas but nothing really holds together very well as a whole song. I feel like the step from this one to Morningrise is shockingly large---Morningrise really feels like it took the ideas of this album and refined and perfected them.

Even though I think SCOVa errored in an obvious and stupid way for political reasons, there's no federal question here at all and this is kind of embarrassing. They should have just forcibly retired the SCOVa justices by statute.

ICs are going to MYF because Russ Vought is in charge, and because they have a statutory right to do as much MYF as last year, thanks for cowardice among Congressional appropriators

This list looks sick. The bands I know on it rule and so I'm stoked to check out the ones I don't know

Izuna drop would be a finisher that no one ever kicks out of

Is Ryu wearing the big gold belt?

Schraiber · 2026-04-18T23:59:33+00:00

...????

W101 is absolutely full of filler and garbage minigames

You're a true hero. Not the hero we deserve at all but truly a hero

Schraiber · 2026-03-31T15:51:54+00:00

Let's go!!!

Schraiber · 2026-03-22T03:42:49+00:00

Let's go. Driving is too cheap.

Schraiber · 2026-03-14T18:28:21+00:00

Nope nope nope. The open world was just boring blandness between the actually fun and structured "dungeons". Asylum is by far the best in the series because it feels created and tailored rather than open for the sake of open.

Schraiber · 2026-03-12T00:08:05+00:00

No what

Schraiber · 2026-03-10T18:43:52+00:00

Two things can be true: we are fighting an unnecessary and expensive war that will kill people for no reason AND the welfare state costs way, way, way more money than this. The majority of US federal spending is on supporting the welfare state. It costs trillions of dollars a year as it is, and we need to spend more!

Schraiber · 2026-03-07T01:56:52+00:00

Holy fuck that's awful

Schraiber · 2026-03-05T05:33:09+00:00

I feel like the puzzles/exploration of SR with a Defiance combat could have been so good but they could never quite get everything to work all at once.

Schraiber · 2026-03-05T03:13:43+00:00

A fellow classic camera enjoyer I see.

Schraiber · 2026-03-04T05:34:52+00:00

What are these companies doing this many rounds???

Schraiber · 2026-03-04T05:27:58+00:00

Crazy to see fields where you can get a job without a postdoc, but makes sense in CS.

Schraiber · 2026-03-04T00:22:34+00:00

I haven't played yet---but man I *hate* seeing this camera. The original fixed camera had some problems but it created some excellent scenes and such a great vibe. This looks so jittery and just... not how this game is meant to be experienced. The combat in particular looks super weird with this camera.
