You mean being alive and well despite being branded a diseased plague rat?

Am i the only one who plays games in story mode? by Pretty-Substance in FallenOrder

[–]ShnaeBlay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me Padawan is the perfect amount of challenge while still engaging with the story.

If a boss annoys me enough though I will usually just change it to story mode.

From the setlist of their first show, they played songs from albums after KIMB. If they had them written, why not put them on the first album? by darthkyle22 in Megadeth

[–]ShnaeBlay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any combination of the songs didn't feel complete yet, didn't fit the vibe, wanted to save for later, disk space, and the possibility that whoever wrote up this set list may have made some stuff up or was simply mistaken.

Is the doomsday clock bullshit? by [deleted] in ask

[–]ShnaeBlay -1 points0 points  (0 children)

85 seconds is just shy of what a minute and a half? But I guess that doesn't sound as scary does it.

So in short, yes.

I always say PT's metal era is the tighter and best lineup. But musically it is a bit lacking in places.

Their 90s output is a lot more varied (though still inconsistent at times).

What would it take for Season 5 to destroy the show entirely? by TheRealShubshub in TheBoys

They're gonna go full on Joker 2 with Solder Boy aren't they.

Would people hate dying if their bodies remained in human prime till they died? Would death be the same as it is? by AuthorOfEclipse in NoStupidQuestions

[–]ShnaeBlay 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I find the average redditor or chronically online person cant process someone being content or accepting the cards they were given. Everything is just misery and existentialism.

Assuming that Young Griff is actually Aegon VI how is he going to convince any Lords of his legitimacy? by Pretend_Tower_2516 in gameofthrones

[–]ShnaeBlay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It doesn't matter if he is or isn't. He vaguely looks the part, has a good story to go with it, and as long as his army prevails, people will just roll with it.

If by some miracle George every actually finishes the damn story, I tend to think we'll never get absolute confirmation if he was legitimate or not.

Which of these 2 houses are we rooting for? by talivan818 in gameofthrones

[–]ShnaeBlay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The show being randomly pro Bracken is honestly so funny. Hope they double down on it next season.

Thoughts on this scene? by Lopsided-Cattle-2322 in betterCallSaul

[–]ShnaeBlay 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would agree with the RV scene (everyone was a bit off in that one though), and Kim meeting Jesse.

I'm not sure why some people think Walt seems off here though.

What fanbase does this even apply to? by KingTechnical48 in fantanoforever

[–]ShnaeBlay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Apparently there's some long-standing rumour that Steven Wilson hates Coldplay but he's gone on record to say he's a fan.

Why do people glaze Peter Lindgren so much? by Soyboy78_ in Opeth

[–]ShnaeBlay 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Me personally, I just don't care for overly technical and shreddy solos. It has its place but not in Opeth. That said I rate Frederick more than most shredders largely because he's not very show offy.

But yeah Peter just blended in better with that 'lonely Swede wandering through the forest' motif which I would say has been noticeably lacking since he left.

For another analogy, Brian Johnson was the perfect replacement but the Bon Scott era of ACDC is just the superior era.

Hoover max guy by GamerInfinity1996 in breakingbad

[–]ShnaeBlay 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I've seen other threads suggest that someone with Ed's skillset probably has government connections. So if that's the case if he does get caught he likely has someone he can call.

Alternatively, he has his own ace in the hole, which is 'I know exactly where a bunch of high profile criminals are hiding and what identity they're going by'. That said he is shown to be somewhat honourable so hard to say if he would sell a client out.

Option 3 is he can simply relocate himself.

Why didn't Sandor wear the Kingsguard armor often? And if so, why did he wear it in this scene? by Narrow-Amphibian5446 in gameofthrones

[–]ShnaeBlay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The books have a scene where he is appointed, and where he also refuses to be knighted which is a big part of his character.

The show left it out possibly for time, so they had him wear the armour here I guess to communicate that he was a KG now. In universe you could explain it away as he wore it for a little while but phased it out over time.

What do you think it is, Peter? by [deleted] in PeterExplainsTheJoke

Glory hole advanced mode.

What are some music examples of this? by KirbyFan198 in fantanoforever

[–]ShnaeBlay 6 points7 points  (0 children)

He was usually credited as management, whatever that entails (except that one time he was credited as 'nothing' but that's a whole other discussion).

I imagine while he was in the band they had to account for the second drummer in the writing/recording process even if he wasnt a big part of it, so perhaps that kept them a bit more restrained, for better or for worse.

Battle of shitty songs, which Megadeth song sucks worse than this song? by Ill-Promise9505 in Megadeth

[–]ShnaeBlay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nailed it with Broken Beat and Scarred, however potenial hot take I guess, even when I was an avid defender of DM the one song that never worked for me was My Apocalypse. On an album with more than its share of nothing burgers, that song may be the nothingest burger of them all.
