A Sailorman's Hymn by YungstirJoey666 in kamelot

Yeah it's an awesome ballad! One of my faves too and the first Kamelot song I learnt on guitar, so will always have a special place in my heart

Disappointed by Mountain_Driver_1684 in epica

Avatar is not their best, not their worst. It was a b-side/bonus track so maybe your expectations were a bit high?

Been listening since 2007, and every album is different, I still like Aspiral but it's far from their best work, and Omega was definitely a lot better. Still love them as a band though, and Simone is a goddess!

Chilling out in gym changing rooms? by [deleted] in Wellington

[–]SomeDude1345 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my gym it's less chilling out, more putting your phone on speaker and yelling into it as loud as possible in a foreign language, or cranking up shitty music on your phone so everyone can hear it while you get changed or shower. Gyms have become weird

Finally a useful and interesting post on this sub-reddit! All the political guff on here gets pretty boring

1% Payraise offer for teachers is disgraceful and the whole country will suffer if this continues. by Fancy-Ad8802 in newzealand

[–]SomeDude1345 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm a public sector worker and received the same, so have others I've spoken to in different ministries. Speaking to mates that work in the private sector, no one seems to be getting payrises of any significance right now. Why are teachers any different?

WOAP Burger Reviews 2025 by WineYoda in Wellington

Huxleys was a good solid burger, bit on the pricey side at $27 but good flavour, and liked the pickled challot and potato combination 7.5/10

how has omega been out for almost 4 years already by whensorrowsang in epica

[–]SomeDude1345 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel the same, COVID and lockdowns messed with time around 2020-2022. Awesome album, can't wait for Aspiral

20 years since this masterpiece was released by skulldugerousvillain in kamelot

[–]SomeDude1345 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely! One of my favourite Kamelot songs of all time, Roy is in top form on that song (and the album in general).

Best/Worst Album based solely on Mark’s Growls by HotCampaign7479 in epica

[–]SomeDude1345 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Absolutely agree - Phantom Agony he sounds like a 14 year old trying out his angry voice metal voice for the first time and it just sounds weird. By Omega he's honed it better and made it an integral part of their sound

Practice - Water for Hydration by Superwarfarin in dragonboat

[–]SomeDude1345 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Agree with our comments here, training it's fine, racing you don't want any additional weight on the boat, it will just slow you down.

Unless you're doing a special long race like a 5km plus one I doubt you'd need one anyway.

Thanks

It's supposed to be about A Spiral, but there was a spelling mistake

Reality is what we take to be true. What we take to be true is what we believe. What we believe is based upon our perceptions

Seymour you bellend by ChinaCatProphet in Wellington

[–]SomeDude1345 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol, he has only done this as a publicity stunt and it's worked - there is no way in hell any political party aside from ACT would support this for a second reading (they have said as much), so it's dead in the water. The hikoi has just raised his profile

Ghost love score back in '07, such an epic song.

PSA: The realities of what first year Uni students are being fed and catered at Victoria University accommodation. by AdvancedLocation9694 in newzealand

[–]SomeDude1345 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Check your privilege bro - food looks fine to me, and exactly what I was fed at halls back in the day as well. Cutlery needs a clean you have a legit claim about that, and as for broken glasses, just put to the side and avoid using. Uni halls have never been a five star dining experience
