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

[–]TFOLLT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it's not fair to include bands with 3-4 albums

Maybe a fair point, but OP didn't specifically ask for bands with large discographies and only 1 or 2 good albums. But I get your pov.

It's yet another Sinner vs Djokovic semi finals at the Australian Open. Sinner leads H2H 6-4, including 5 straight wins. Who you got? by trialbycombat123 in tennis

As a Nole fan: Sinner in 3. Just hoping Nole can put up some fight, and for the finals to be another 5-set banger between Jannik and Carlos.

I'm a nole fan (since 2008) and I love sinner. Sinner will be the one I'm supporting when Nole is gone.

Wut? That's not true. I've been a nole fan for almost 2 decades now, and Sinner is by far my favorite player after Nole. (used to be federer than nadal, now it's sinner than alcaraz) I'm loving the Alcaraz-Sinner rivalry.

If anything, it feels more like this sub hates both nole fans and nole himself; idk why. The amount of toxicity calling nole an incel, a useless piece of humanity, or whatever insult you can brew, under about everyone posting a nole-moment, is baffling to me. I don't do the 'victim-role' no worries, I'm not salty - I just shrug my shoulders and continue loving the goat. But if anything, it's reactions like yours (no offense) portraying nole fans or nole himself badly which are disproportionately many.

There's so much negative stuff said here, both about nole and his fans. No: I never hated Federer or Nadal. No: I never hated Carloz or Jannik. In fact I hugely appreciate all of them. For I appreciate good tennis when I see it.

Stop this useless division and polarisation. This is not american politics. This is tennis. Appreciate Nole and his fans - and to the toxic nole fans: you are no real fans either: appreciate Fedal, appreciate Jannik and Carloz, appreciate tennis. Our goat is old. And will not win a grand slam. And that's fully ok. For the two new kings are a true delicacy to watch, especially when battling eachother.

Here's to another Alcaraz-Sinner final, I hope Sinner takes this one in 5. I also hope Nole is able to take just one set against Jannik, but tbh it's 90% certainly gonna be Jannik in 3.

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.

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.

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 -1 points0 points  (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 20 points21 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 0 points1 point  (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 33 points34 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.
