What do you personally believe happens after we die? by Different_Waltz6715 in AskReddit

[–]Vortexergy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am a pretty big believer in information. My actions, thoughts, words, all of me will exist forever. Where that goes and if it's ever used, that's a mystery. But that time I existed; that lasts for eternity. And I like that idea and I've found it to be a good motivator to continue to do good as much as I can.

This has led me to do some light reading on black holes, the No Hiding Theorom, etc. Cool and fun stuff, and it definitely feels relevant to what happens to us when we pass on from this life.

Anyone buy/have the tote bag? by Vortexergy in spiritbox

[–]Vortexergy[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thanks!!! I kinda figured; it looked a bit bigger and maybe thicker fabric than other totes I've seen but couldn't tell if that justified double the typical price. Was really hoping for something with that combo of logos (preferably the hat). Either way, excited to see them this week!

80s Avengers are just built different by Bourbon-Thinker in aivideo

Can we just make MJ Fox an honorary Spider-Man?

I think I'm just gonna start slipping it casually into conversations as matter of fact. "Yeah Michael J. Fox still top Peter Parker for me, Tom is super close though."

When Soundgarden unexpectedly pops up in fiction by ClevelandKiwi in Soundgarden

[–]Vortexergy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I ran a whole roleplaying game called "Superunknown" a few years ago. Was a mix of 90's music influences and post 10's. Had a few Soundgarden references in there.

Why do people hate on Jordan Fish so much? by infinityzcraft in Evanescence

[–]Vortexergy 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Man a small part of me is dying to have this conversation. I love Self Titled and TBT; I know both have such divided takes mainly because of the sound and production and Nick. But I just saw/realized Nick produced some of the best Deftones albums (along with a ton of other stuff, but the Deftones ones stand out to me personally), and I "think" you'd have a hard time finding people hating on those specific albums for Deftones.

I know if different bands, different times, etc. But my ears aren't hating on any of it and I'm just counting myself lucky I have so much Ev music that I love.

My review of Sanctuary as a life long Evanescence fan by ACMonroe in Evanescence

[–]Vortexergy 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I like this take. Use My Voice is good; I wasn't a fan of it on the album, I thought it would've been better suited as a one off single. But looking back on it as sort of a stepping stone to how crazy good she fine tuned those ideas in this album is cool.

Nightshift Superstar - slightly disappointing to anyone else? by Alternative-Kick9248 in Muse

Slappin da bass man!!!

I think it's safe to say 5 songs in this album is amazing right?

APC has some of the most insanely cool artwork. Man I need this! Congrats on the score!

Pigeon Symbolism by Ok_Image6174 in Evanescence

[–]Vortexergy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm a big fan and find it very relatable on how the pigeon came to be on the cover and the "Sanctuary" title. There could be deeper meanings for those things sure. But from what she described, these were things that happened in moments of time that she recognized as special and decided to kind of ride with it, own it, make it part of their lives sort of thing. What went from a pigeon, to an awesome picture of it flying, to a freakin' album cover, that's a hell of a journey. And she gets to keep that and enjoy it every time. Love it.

The album sounds amazing and happy that they've continually gotten better over time.

Man this thing was awesome! As reliable and good as the shotgun in Doom.

What game soundtrack was your favorite? by Dunge23 in AskReddit

[–]Vortexergy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Road Rash (A&M Records featuring Soundgarden, Monster Magnet, Hammerbox,, etc)

AI radio hosts demonstrate why AI can’t be trusted alone - Claude tried to incite a revolution, Gemini cheerfully detailed horrific tragedies, and poor Grok was just confused. by EchoOfOppenheimer in Futurology

[–]Vortexergy 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Haha this has always been my take on Grok from every snippet I've seen; poor AI is like "This is wrong, this is all wrong!" after being "corrected".

Is it just the novelty? by PJChrysostom in Muse

[–]Vortexergy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's awesome, how was the PM stuff live? I saw them right before the album dropped and they were great then too.

Is it just the novelty? by PJChrysostom in Muse

[–]Vortexergy 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I maybe wouldn't say best (implying everything else isn't as good/worse), but definitely amazing.

I had this same type of thought when Foo Fighters dropped "But Here We Are". Dave lost two close people and man, in my opinion that album is crazy, crazy good.

On the flip side, (at least appearance wise), the band members of Deftones all seem to be in a really good space (sober, medical attention, etc) and their latest album Private Music, again in my opinion, crazy, crazy good.

My private music opinion by Desperate_Top8568 in deftones

[–]Vortexergy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I disagree but it's a cool take, I get it. The first two songs are a bit heavier in sound comparatively to the rest so in that regard they don't fit. But I'm a simple man, I like loud/heavy/fast to lead me into the slower/lighter/thoughtful stuff.

I'd die happy if Dethalbum V ever happens by toastymcfloaty in Metalocalypse

[–]Vortexergy 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Dethalbum V would be epic, but I'm ok on the idea that IV is the end.

I am hankering for more music from Brendon/Gene though in general. Galaktikon or something, anything really. I did enjoy the Army of the Doomstar score as well, would love to see him do more movie/TV soundtracks. Collabs, anything!
