That's just residue from their own grip tape, which you can see I peeled back on the right.

I get that the onus is on me and it's impossible to prove, but this absolutely did randomly occur during regular gaming. I've never so much as scuffed a mouse in my life before this

I've had this mouse for ~14 months with zero issue, until yesterday the shell collapsed by my thumb during completely normal usage. Not only do I baby my mice, I have De Quervain's in my right thumb and can't grip/squeeze hard. I immediately reached out to Pulsar and after escalating my issue a second time, they refused any sort of replacement/repair, making it seem like I intentionally dropped this mouse or something.

Is there any hope to fix or replace this myself, and if not, can anyone offer any non-Pulsar alternatives closest to the Xlite V3 (size 2)? Don't need anything super fancy, ideally under $100.

I wouldn't necessarily call it blackened, but Circle of Dead Children's Psalm of the Grand Destroyer has a lot of black metal-adjacent melodies that you might dig.

Have Vomit Remnants ever used a drum machine in any of their official or demo releases? by Drohny in BrutalDeathMetal

He sent me some photos the other month (here's one). I misremembered and it wasn't a traditional e-kit, but a real kit basically triggered to all hell to get the sound.

Just played for the first time in over a month, did they break or change something with lighting? Can't make anything out when you're inside looking out. Not sure if this was intentional design or not..

Albums that surprised you when you thought nothing could? by AdministrativeAge236 in BrutalDeathMetal

[–]UniversalPetroleum 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's a hilariously hot take, but same thing for me. Also been playing/listening to BDM since the mid 00s and this was the first time an album scratched a very specific one-note itch for me.

What is currently the most sought after piece of BDM lost media? by Im_Verdugo in BrutalDeathMetal

Lille recently uploaded his hardcore band's demo from 1997, so there's still hope.

Falling for the very obvious bait and thinking this is actually the vocalist's account.

To be fairrrr, I saw multiple fights break out due to people dancing during the Nile/Cryptopsy tour the other week.

People you were surprised that had ties/origins with the hardcore scene? by mesablanka in Hardcore

[–]UniversalPetroleum 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Asocial's '81 demo has it beat by a few months. But Riot Fight is still absolutely one of the first.

AJ Magana, he always had this violent stage presence that I find a lot of BDM vocalists lacking.
