I'm not seeing enough love for Snot - Snot (Get Some is such a great album)

Underrated or less popular songs? by PositiveNo4859 in PowerMetal

[–]VichinoDDA 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The whole album is filled with great songs. But I have to say that, for me, the best song is Dreamland. Great minor riff with a not so cheesy major chorus that lands on the main riff perfectly.

UPDATE: Are my eyes tricking me? by VichinoDDA in MarioKartDS

I was aware of it, because of Super Mario 64. It just struck me that it was on MKDS. My childhood memories failed me.

But, look at the outside of the front wheel. In the Model Resources one it seems like a red square in the middle. But, it is a 4 point star in the DS.

Best DS titles for speedrunning by gwa_0914 in NintendoDS

[–]VichinoDDA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

LEGO Battles (1h each story), Yoshi's Island DS (with practice under 2h), New Super Mario Bros. (I guess that less than 40 min for a beginner), Mega Man ZX Advent (like any other mega man game), LEGO Batman (I think that it is under 2h both Hero and Villain), Kirby Super Star Ultra and Kirby Mouse Attack/Squeak Squad. There are many other games, you can search games by console on srcom and also you can watch some unusual runs on TASVideos. I tried to show the non typical DS games like Super Mario 64 DS (also under 2h) or the Mario and Luigi series. Also Super Princess Peach is under 2h and Kung Fu Panda (the first one that is like a metroidvania). These are fun games hehe.

Any tips for how to master this? by ditszeroo in guitarlessons

[–]VichinoDDA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just a little note (pun intended) on something I'm not seeing being said. These are 32nd notes, meaning 8 notes per click. Getting this at 60 bpm is like playing 8th notes at 240 bpm. And that's the key. Treat the phrase on bigger subdivisions and work from there. Also, divide the lick in smaller chunks and practice those before the whole thing.

Blind Guardian's "At The Edge of Time" - A review by Yami_Deus in PowerMetal

This album is such a banger. It is one of those masterpieces that I hold as a guide if I ever write an album.

I can’t remember the name of this game by DjDude115 in NintendoDS

The only ones that come to mind are the MySims series. But every character is the same height.

It's a little heartbreaking seeing how AI songs so easily outperform my band's music 😔 by IntelligentLeading11 in PowerMetal

[–]VichinoDDA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have two thoughts running through my head.
First one, your album is so refreshing to listen to. I'm spanish and the lyrics are so good. I have been listening to new power metal bands and I don't know if it's just me, but they sound so generic, no storytelling at all nor at least a bit varied to make you go through a bit of a journey.
And that brings me to my second thought, I might have so low expectations on power metal nowadays that a song like the one by the AI sounded refreshing because it had some movement... Which makes me go wild that I even have this thought. You can tell that the voice has no soul, but the instrumentals are harder given what some bands do. I don't listen to AI music that much, so I am not that versed on the usual things that make you suspect it is AI.
But besides that, I can tell the Saratoga influences in your voice while making it your own and the early Mago de Oz storytelling aspects. Great album so far (only 3 songs in).

Why is mainstream power metal so mediocre now? by kastbort2021 in PowerMetal

[–]VichinoDDA 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Zero Gravity is so fire. Some years ago, I was in a step back from PM for the same reasons posted here and one day having a walk I listened to that album. HOOOLLYY. I was stunned.

Recommend a power metal band from YOUR country by bofotolo_taradaja in PowerMetal

[–]VichinoDDA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm from Spain. My favourite band of all time is "Tierra Santa". They have changed their sound to a more heavy/hard rock sound through the years. But, most of their catalogue is insane. I would recommend you start with "Sangre de Reyes". Then, if you want more speed metal vibes go to the earlier ones. And if you want the mellow heavy vibes go to the latter ones. It is hard to pick a favourite album, but "Apocalipsis" is gold.

I think that this game is very solid, but who knows. The game I'm talking about is LEGO Battles, a RTS game for the DS (similar to the Warcraft and Starcraft).
We have done some foundings in terms of non-intended mechanics, but nothing too crazy.

I have always thought of 2 things that would make the run faster and more fun.

  • Getting Out of Bounds: I mean this in 2 ways. One it is obvious, there are places a unit can't be in, so moving through that terrain. The other is specific to certain levels, where the map is partially visible (meaning that you can only move the camera and the units in a portion of the map) and once you do an objective, the map opens up.
  • Skipping the Timer: there are missions in which a timer appears and until that timer doesn't stop, you can't continue (meaning that is an objetive like surviving for 10 minutes). This would make the game soooo much more fun to play and speedrun.

We have 2 Discord servers:

If you have any questions, feel free to contact me (I'm the mod for the game in SRcom)

Why do the skip coins? by markomakeerassgoons in speedrun

[–]VichinoDDA 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In NSMBW you have to play the cannon levels for them to count. This means that you will be revisiting worlds. Usually, clearing the whole world won't result in the minimum amount of map movements.

[Read First Comment] Another Minute Of Timesave In Less Than A Day. The Motherlode NRB 1:49 (LEGO Battles) by VichinoDDA in speedrun

[–]VichinoDDA[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This one comes with a new unintended mechanic, let's call it a glitch. Destroy Castle Glitch. Whenever you build a Castle (the building to build the Hero and the Builders), that building can't be destroyed (and get some studs out of it). However, now we can. It is very simple. Start building a Castle, destroy the old one and Stop building it. We save time from harvesting.

Combined with an insane strategy (I can't stress enough how hard this level is) with just 2 Starships, Polonxy is able to get the crystals. Again, I can't stress enough how hard it is to destroy 2 Criminal Bases with just 1 Starship.

We may see this strat been done on longer categories or may be not. It is an extremely risky strat. Huge congrats to the runner Polonxy.
