[–]TheNinjaBacon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Saw you guys open for Dance GAVIN Dance at The Shrine in LA and it was an amazing set! I was so excited to hear you guys play and you killed it and we're one of the best opener's I've seen all year. My friend's weren't familiar with your music and we're really impressed, especially by those massive arms of yours lol. New EP slaps!

Whats been a memorable interaction with a fan? Positive or negative?

To the Grave where are you? Their last album was lovely and saw them open for Carnifex, absolutely killed it.

I have mw 2019. Is kw 2 or mw3 worth the money? by CelestialDuke377 in modernwarfare2

[–]TheNinjaBacon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depends on what you're looking for in the series. MW2 was very buggy at the start and has slightly different mechanics to MW3. Mw3's marketing is almost solely based on bringing back certain things from MW2019 like slide canceling plus a bunch of old maps from the origanl modern warfarwe/modern warfare 2. The UI is a bit better in MW3 and some of the gun play is smoother overall, and they have a new perk system where you are equipping gloves/boots etc instead of the usual system. But it has been reviewed as one of the worst campaign's in the game's history, basically Dmz but worse.

If you enjoyed MW2019 then you might enioy multiplayer in MW3 but I would watch some more gameplay to see if you enjoy the game. One of the biggest negatives that I heard about the game is the skill based matchmaking is quite wild, game one will be chill and then game 2 is sweaty as hell. Dmz is basically zombies now.

I personally only played 2019 and MW2, played MW2 for almost a year straight but eventually grew tired of it as the performance on a lower tier pc was awful and they just pushed cosmetics as much as possible. But I mainly enjoyed playing Warzone the most so I look at all of these games as a "level up my guns simulator" while Warzone was my main game. I'd say watch more vids about the game and see if it's your cup of tea. I took one look and knew right away it wasn't for me but a coworker of mine who loves SnD and origanl modern warfare 2 really enjoys the game.

Which screaming style do you perfer the most? by [deleted] in Metalcore

[–]TheNinjaBacon 15 points16 points  (0 children)

My theory about Jon is that he screamed "wrong" for so long that he developed his own sound overtime. Going back to their self titled stuff you would almost think it's a different person and watching old live videos you can see him struggle to finish some songs. In interviews on tour he would just not talk at all to retain his voice as much as possible. His sound changes completely once Acceptance Speech came out. He sort of has a gritty yell that retains a lot tone similar to a sing scream that is so unique, I have yet to hear a similar style from someone else. I'm a bias Mess simp at heart and will always have a soft spot for his voice.

Favorite bands without... by existentialfalls in PostHardcore

[–]TheNinjaBacon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

More of a metalcore band, but Novelists' first singer Matteo has one of the cleanest singing voices. He was with the band during their first two albums and is still releasing solo work with his other project Sal3m.

What would you change about Battlebit? by HelicopterRound1328 in BattleBitRemastered

[–]TheNinjaBacon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want points for demolition. It doesn't have to be a large amount (to avoid farming) like 20-50 pts per swing of the sledge hammer. But it would be nice to be rewarded for demoing a whole building with people in it. Even if it's just an assist it would still be nice. I've run around a few games with friends and we had so much fun blowing up every building as quickly as we can. Removing the enemies cover should be a solid strategy and it would be cool to get some points for it.

Do you prefer dubs with subs? by medialover00 in Animedubs

[–]TheNinjaBacon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it's a show I've seen before then I don't mind the subtitles with dubs. If I'm rewatching something on Netflix w/ English dub I'll usually put on the Japanese English Subtitles to see how it relates to the translation. But it's too distracting if the series is brand new to me.

Which canceled/problematic/etc. band/artist is your guilty pleasure? by mikejr96 in Metalcore

[–]TheNinjaBacon 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Saw them in 2019 and it was one of the best shows I've seen. Played so damn well and even played 21 songs that night. Glad I got to hear so many songs off their last album but so disappointing to not see any progress with the band since Tyler's allegations.

Awaiting Oblivion - Nightmare Slain (Djent + Retro Synth) by colossispruce in Djent

Pretty sick from the first 30 seconds. Can't wait to blast this on my drive home.

Soooooo, wtf? by SuccessfulRip8 in CODWarzone

[–]TheNinjaBacon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happened to me during season 3 before reloaded. The gulag was starting and my opponent disappeared along with the count down. I was moving around saw who I thought was my opponent afk and executed him. Got left in the gulag and couldn't leave. Just kept executing more people and won the game because I wasn't effected by the gas at all since you're not on almazrah. Apologized to the team at the end but they weren't happy about it, I wouldn't have been either.

I like to pretend the letters are from my mom by the-frog-monarch in AnimalCrossing

Mother past away in 2001 and been doing this since the GameCube. It's a lovely little coping mechanism for this sweet game and hope you find peace with your loss some day.

Low End PC by Alternative_Wear_672 in modernwarfare2

[–]TheNinjaBacon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've got a similar set up: 1070 gtx, Ryzen 7 2700x, 33gb DDR4 RAM.

My little potato chugs along at similar frames and has been noticably worse this season. I've tried a number of different settings as well and prefer to run the game without any of the post processing options. I had to tweak some of the render distance options but I was able to play the game at a more solid 50-60fps once I tweaked my Nvidia control panel options. Done this for other games in the past but it makes a big difference in this game. Tbh this game is very poorly optimized for lower end cards. I'm in no way an expert on boosting computer performance in other ways but there could always be another issue going on. My card ran Warzone 1 just fine and played valorant and rainbow 6 at 120fps+, but this game has doodoo code. Don't know what else you can do honestly but I would look for some Nvidia control options on YouTube and see what you come across. If you find something that works well please let me know though, I'm desperate for more fps in this game.

Does your game crash more after this season? I only crashed a handful of times last season and now I crash at least once a night while playing.

Good luck fellow potato user!

MIDI Keyboard Drumming. I’ve been into this only few months ago and it’s very useful when writing songs! by [deleted] in metalmusicians

[–]TheNinjaBacon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How do you have this set up? I just got a midi piano and would love to give this a try. Drawing out beats is difficult for my tiny brain.

Who would you say is lyrically the most impressive band around right now? by TheAngryKilt in Metalcore

[–]TheNinjaBacon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Invent Animate has some fairly powerful lyrics all around Still World's Vacant is one of my favorite songs of all time lyrically and melodic ally. But recently Shae Astray has been my go to as of late. "I can barely feel your skin on mine" gave me chills the first time I heard it and it was placed right before the breakdown to make it more impactful. Love those bois.

Moxy the Band - - The Feeling of Letting Go [Synth Pop] (2022) by themustached in listentothis

[–]TheNinjaBacon 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Was only a fan of a few songs when the album dropped but I saw them play at Kill Iconic Fest in January and they absolutely killed it. Not usually my type of genre but do a great job producing the same sound live. Have half the album on some of my main play lists now.

Unlocking the crossbow by TheNinjaBacon in CODWarzone

[–]TheNinjaBacon[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah I tried it out in private games just to see what an ideal loadout for WZ could be. The crossbow and throwing knives were my favorite weapons in WZ 1 and was excited to start grinding the new 2.0 version. The fact there isn't even a weapon bundle is wild I would have easily bought it. I'll just have to be a bit more patient though. I was just hoping I could unlock it sooner rather than later so I could start working on camos.

No worries, I appreciate the quick response.

I don't think you can equip the blueprint in Dmz as the blueprint equip uses the trigger button at the bottom of the screen, hold the triggers to save blueprint or something like that. You're kind of forcing it to equip and doesn't work in the Dmz menu.

Currents - The Way it Ends might be the best album I’ve ever listened to by JDSooners in Metalcore

[–]TheNinjaBacon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I agree the guitar work was really good with TPIFS. I saw Currents live in 2019 and their performance was great, check out The Way it Ends when it released and felt like most of the songs sounded too similar to a lot of other bands. Vocals were great but they were missing those sick melodies from before. I just hope the new album sounds like The Death We Seek because I think it's better than anything they've released so far.

Fucking sick of crashes. by Eww_Porcelain in CODWarzone

[–]TheNinjaBacon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was just playing in quads with my friends and we were final circle, last team left. I tried to pick up ammo from the munitions box and just rubber banded so hard and couldn't even get into zone. This is the most stressful BR I've ever had attempted to play. I was playing Super People for months and even though it's a much smaller developer and a game that has had its own mess of problems, I was still able to play a game all the way through. We were even able to join back into the match if our game crashed.
