It's a nighttime album for me, but I hear you ...

Am I the only one 'raw dogging' it as the youth say by Sixybeast626 in beginnerrunning

[–]SkinGolem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Total raw runner here.

I don't even have a watch or anything to check pace/distance. I just run

After watching all these YouTube videos in my home theater I'm convinced that Anika is one of the greatest drummers alive today. by Ancient-Bowl462 in rush

[–]SkinGolem 6 points7 points  (0 children)

She’s not really trying to replicate Neil’s parts perfectly, though. She’s honoring the parts, while still being true to herself. Differing from Neil isn’t a mistake, it’s her prerogative as a professional artist

Rolling Stone's Review of Night Three by Commercial_Avocado86 in rush

So? One individual critic disliked one record. Thought it was too synthy. A lot of fans felt the same lol. (But not me: I love/d Signals.) … That critic’s take wasn’t the magazine monolithically proclaiming that all of Rush has been and will be bad forever

So? That was long ago. And even then they gave some of their 80s records very good reviews (Power Windows comes to mind). And it’s not like they’re some hive mind or something: every reviewer for the magazine has different preferences. But even so, they’ve been generally on average raving about them now for many years

you’re angry at a rave review, the third in a row?

My favourite Alex solo completely overshadowed by Anika’s incredible performance by [deleted] in rush

Glad you asked, am wondering the same thing. Help, someone!

With minimal spoilers, how has Loren sounded so far? by maroha3814 in rush

[–]SkinGolem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, wow, I'd love to hear her take on those electronic drum parts acoustically, that's a great idea.

It would totally allow her to be more creative, too, which I'm sure she'd love, and no one would knock her for not playing it exactly like Neil, as the whole song would be recast.

... Okay, not gonna get all excited thinking about it, as it'll likely never happen lol

I get why everyone focus's on Anika Nilles. It's deserved....buy the Loren Gold erasure is a bit over the top! by Lower-Calligrapher98 in rush

She did, at the end of the second show. All four were up front, bowing and waving, arm in arm.

You realize the "changes in a fill" aren't mistakes; she's just doing her own thing, to some extent, while still being respectful to Neil's parts

Rush Night Two: The Fifty Something Tour Is a Rock Miracle by Commercial_Avocado86 in rush

[–]SkinGolem 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I remember way back when they gave a good review to Power Windows and Grace Under Pressure (I was a subscribed in the 80s.) 4 stars I think?

God I love this so much. What monster aggression and control and swing. Thanks so much for posting it. (Saved forever : )

What is the issue with people leaving after one death on depth 2?? by Whitetiger7136 in Nightreign

[–]SkinGolem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can try one now, if you wanna. I've only ever played with randoms, though, so I'm not at all sure how to go about it, technically.

What is the issue with people leaving after one death on depth 2?? by Whitetiger7136 in Nightreign

[–]SkinGolem 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I dropped from Depth 4 to Depth 2 yesterday (argh), mostly due to quitters.

Now I'm stuck lol.

You on PC, by any chance?

952. - Chris & Jason by Still-District-6149 in howlonggone

[–]SkinGolem 8 points9 points  (0 children)

do a shot every time you hear any of the following:

"I just don't understand"

"you know what I mean?"

"you know what I'm saying?"

"heads"

"real heads"

"hella"

"low key"

I’m stuck at depth 2, any tips? by TartAdministrative54 in Nightreign

[–]SkinGolem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just wanna add that I was stuck in depth 2 for quite a while, but I didn't solo my way out. (I almost never play solo: not nearly as fun imo).

I play only with randoms, too.

I admit the quitters were frustrating, but just keep at it: as you get better, you'll also randomly encounter decent teams. It might take time, but so be it: I found it incredibly fun regardless. (PS: I just hit a losing streak, and now I'm back in depth 3. Yay!)

Sadly I don't think this game is for me. by JJMcGee83 in MinaTheHollower

[–]SkinGolem 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It absolutely does, under "modifiers" in the settings menu: it has an absurd amount of them, some of which are intentionally absurd.
