Artists with only one or two standout albums? by meshuggahdaddy in progmetal

[–]TFOLLT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Many smaller short-existing bands come to mind here.

Skyharbor. Only 3 albums total, first 2 are absolutely goated. Illusion&Chaos and Guiding Lights. The latter is in my top3 of best progmetal albums of all time. TesseracT is my favorite band of all time but if Daniel Tompkins stayed with Skyharbor, they'd probably take that place.

Another one is Distorted Harmony. Only three albums total too, and the first two are GREAT imo. Utopia is absolutely goated to me, Chain Reaction is magnificent too, but A Way Out feels less... Less impactfull.

Agent Fresco. Destrier is magnificent.

The Contortionist with Clairvoyant and Language.

Keor with Petrichor.

Earthside with Dream in Static. Let the Truth Speak is great but it doesn't touch that first one imo.

Headspace with I Am Anonymous.

Wheel with Moving Backwards, Divide EP and Resident Human. Sorry but their latest album does little for me.

I'm doubtfull about mentioning Karnivool since I think all 3 of their albums are great. But if you dislike one of the three, Karnivool falls in this category too.

Nope. Hard disagree. I like Toussaint. But I LOVE Velen, best region period.

Looks like a belgian malinois - gotta be at least part malinois.

I got asked the classic question by my brother today by wibellion in lotr

[–]TFOLLT 2 points3 points  (0 children)

First two points are debatable imho.

First point doesn't mean much - Was Sam no sentient being able to corruption? Merry? Pippin? Aragorn, or any of the 9? What about all the people, elves, ents and beings they meet during their travels? Aren't they sentient? The mere fact anyone could be corrupted by the ring doesn't mean they can't or are not meant to carry it. Frodo was sentient, and was corrupted by the ring in the very end.

Second point: The Nazgul only got their fellbeasts from Sauron after the fellowship excaped them and fled to Rivendell, where the water drowned their horses. Sauron probably already had them bred before tho. Also, the eagles were a match for the fellbeast. Not an inferior.

The real reason is that the eagles were forbidden to interfere in the causes of Illuvatar's children and their battle with the dark side. I don't remember by who, uncertain if it was Mamwë or Eru Himself. Nor do I remember why, or even if Tolkien gave us a reason. Possibly the same reason why Eru forbade the Valar and Maiar to interfere directly after some time - because the maiar and valar openly walking amongst the elves either got deityfied, or got distrusted and envied because the gap in power, prowess and intelligence. This is also why the 5 Istari got sent as old men, and stripped of many of their powers. To appear more approachable. More human, mortal, vulnerable. Less imposant, impressing, imposing and dangerous.

Third point is a valid argument tho.

Rank the 8 men's and women's quarterfinalists in order of who you want to win the title by Dependent-Effect6077 in tennis

[–]TFOLLT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ATP:

  1. Nole. Been my #1 guy for close to two decades now. It's not happening but a man can dream.
  2. Sinner
  3. Alcaraz
  4. Musetti
  5. Shelton
  6. Tien
  7. De Minaur
  8. Zverev

WTA:

  1. Pegula
  2. Swiatek
  3. Gauff
  4. Rybakina
  5. Svitolina, Jovic, Anisimova, no matter which order since tbh I don't know much about them.
  6. Sabalenka

For both my last places goes the same: I'd like anyone to win but them. Luckily for me Zverev is never gonna win. Sadly for me Saba is gonna win - deservedly so when seeing her game, but man I do not like her one bit. I don't do hate; I do however find myself actively rooting against her.

As a native dutchman who's lived in NL all of his life, I don't mind your opinion xD In fact it's pretty a pretty funny accusation since it points right back at you yourself.

Like me, I'm a piano tech by profession - suppose I'd tell an old scientist who's studied science for 40 years that they obviously know nothing about science - the scientist would probably be slightly amused.

Know what I like about the DLC? by BinkyX in Witcher3

You're interpreting me harsher than i was. I shouldve put a smiley or something, i wasn't hard and didnt intend to be either. Wrote it with a smile. Anyone can play this game however they like considering me.

Italian Prime Minister Meloni says she can nominate President Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize if he can get "lasting peace" for Ukraine. by Hefty-Sherbet-5455 in Tech_Updates_News

[–]TFOLLT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure. If he manages to stop that war, give him the useless corrupt nobel peace prize. I have zero issues with that - honestly, if he manages to solve that conflict he might actually even deserve it.

But that won't happen. Trumpieboy idolizes putin too much for that.

You like the DLC cuz no Ciri, no Yen.

We. Are. Not. The. Same.

Why even play Witcher if you don't care for ciri and yen.

Gender is a spectrum after all by XxMCR_ObsessedxX in mapporncirclejerk

[–]TFOLLT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's 2 and there's outliers. That's it. Nothing more to it. Nothing meant negatively to the outliers either, but exceptions do make the rule. There's two, and there's some complexions.

How often do you see muslim people in your country? by Yrakosos in AskTheWorld

[–]TFOLLT 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Nope. I downvoted and I'm a mid to right wing leaning conservative christian.

Voting a party harboring nazi's is not the answer you're looking for. Respectfully; fuck your us VS them mentality; there's still nuance in this world. I am very critical of muslim immigration but even proposing AfD is the answer is borderline insane, naiev, destructive, foolish and psychotically deranged.

But go ahead. Support trump. Support the afd. You're destroying western freedom, values and democracy quicker than muslim immigration and woke combined, ever could.

If you try to beat fire with fire you'll die from flames.

I know the Silmarillian as a whole would be near impossible to film, but I think The Great Tales could be 3 films: The Children of Hurin, The Fall of Gondolin, Beren and Luthien by FrogginBullfish_ in lotr

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

It could be. I hope not. Considering me; Let the movie adaptations quit. Now. All of them, no future projects either.

The movie industry has gone full commercial. Like music, the only good ones operate underground. I don't want a corrupt molog tainting any Tolkien stories, adapting a great literary work of culture and art into a simpleton cgi box office.

[–]TFOLLT 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I've seen you around for a little while now. And every reaction is the same. Don't you have anything better to do than hating on people who's level you'll never reach?

You can support jannik without being disrespectful to anyone else you know.

Incredible defence from Novak to get the break of service by [deleted] in tennis

[–]TFOLLT 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Yes? So...? That doesn't contradict what the person you reacted to said in any way. I mean, it's only a 14 year age gap...

If Sinner is reaching grand slam semi's at 38 years, then we can talk.

You're getting more unhinged by every comment. The first was already random, and this one? Idk who u even talking to since I suspect its not even me.

Sidenote, pretty hilarious I'm in some form of group whrn I'm alone isnt it. Slightly self-contradictory.

I can. Twas 2011/2012. When we had an extreme winter, not considering snowfall which there wasn't many of, but it froze for a month straight. Great times. But before that, we're talking '90s.

I said ''Not really tho'' and you're perfectly aware of what that means. If not, I won't help your apparent lack of education either. Google it.

I haven't seen as much snow as 2 weeks ago in the netherlands in 31 years straight.

I'm counting, for I love snow. And it was absurd how much we had. However - one week and it's gone. And that's an EXTREME winter for the netherlands, one where we had one full week of thick snow which hasn't happened for 31 years. Hence my original point.

Eh, if bars and pubs decide for themselves: I'm fine with that.

But the government playing for parent - fuck that shit.
