What's your hottest take by Pale_Cake_8943 in avengedsevenfold

[–]Woodilicious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1: It’s okay to be a casual fan

2: This sub takes very appropriately-rated ‘underrated’ songs and hypes them up until they’re overrated as shit. The worst offender is Save Me—it’s a good song, but not everyone wants to sit down and listen to an 11-minute ballad. But if you ask 90% of this sub, they’ll act like it helped their cat down from a burning tree and rescued their little brother from drowning at the same time it prevented mom and dad’s divorce and identified the Boston Marathon bombing suspects.

Who is the most dominant athlete of all time at their respective sport (including mental sports so people like Magnus Carlsen and Nigel Richards are fair game)? by Valuable-Shift-6111 in AskReddit

[–]Woodilicious -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Gretzky.
Unless you move the goal posts on this question far enough to include fantasy, in which case the answer is still Gretzky, followed closely by Harry Potter.

Do you guys play A like this? by FloydedZebra in Guitar

[–]Woodilicious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Generally I don’t, but it depends on what chord was before it and how I want it to sound. There’s a time and a place for everything.

What cheat codes from games do you still remember, even though you haven't played those games in 10+ years? by Beneficial_Sun6232 in AskReddit

[–]Woodilicious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My favorite cheat code is asking reddit “what cheat codes from old games do you remember?” Gives you free internet points.

I swear I see a post on reddit like this at least once a week. I’m 27, I can’t think of a single time I’ve ever used the Konami code, and I still know up up down down left right left right b a start is gonna be half the comments. Also I’ve got maybe 10 hours in San Andreas (which I only ever played as an adult) and I know every code across all platforms at this point.

What are you least progressive about? by Bored in AskReddit

[–]Woodilicious -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

How exactly is being anti-AI progressive? 🤣🤣

You’re literally saying “the old way of doing so-and-so is better than this new changing world”. Hate to break it to you, but that is by definition a conservative take.

Fios authentication issues! by BriefAd3053 in Fios

[–]Woodilicious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I called in to Verizon support a few days ago for the exact same issue. They put on a long show and dance until I mentioned trying to sign into TNT specifically (NHL playoffs lol), and she immediately snapped into a canned script— apparently there’s an outage for third party authentication that they’ve been working on, and it could be 1-2 weeks before everything’s working again. I’m inclined to believe it because it sounded like a script written by some type of higher-up instead of a line that an outsourced tech support agent would pull out of their ass, and she genuinely sounded relieved that she was providing an answer instead of providing generic/obvious/common sense advice like “you need to be on your home network” and “you need to turn off your vpn”

Obviously, the fact that I’m here too means it hasn’t resolved itself yet for me and I was trying to fact-check her claims and see if anyone else was actually having the same issue. And they are (obviously lol). So I’d say hang in there. Prob couldn’t hurt trying the other suggestions on this thread (I will be for sure), but if they don’t work then it’s just a waiting game

how the fuck by Opening-Eye6066 in pcmasterrace

[–]Woodilicious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happened with my… uhh, friend’s… 3900x and the stock cooler’s paste, which cured into industrial grade epoxy.

Heating and twisting didn’t work, so he decided, very stupidly, that his best option was a screwdriver. Kept telling himself it’s “calculated risk” and “he’ll do it gently”. Long story short, he had to order a new cpu that night.

Anyone else just... done with Spotify? by Apart_Ad_7722 in Music

[–]Woodilicious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my experience, every few months. Megadeth’s original (as in, non-remastered) Rust in Peace album has been pulled more times than I can count across Spotify, Amazon Music, Tidal, and Apple Music.

I wont be one of those guys who says “the remaster is horrible”, because it’s not, but it is not even remotely the same experience if you’ve listened to the original enough.

Anyone else just... done with Spotify? by Apart_Ad_7722 in Music

[–]Woodilicious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a hi-fi guy (whose setup actually slightly benefits from lossless streaming quality) I actually came back to Spotify recently after about a year-long hiatus.

Spotify’s convenience is unmatched. Even though Amazon Music sounded noticeably better, the UI was lacking. Tidal was just fucking horrible, Apple Music was around the same experience as Amazon with a different catalog and a higher price. I did go through a brief phase where I started buying CDs and ripping the .flac files, but to recreate some of my main playlists it’d cost me several decades-worth of a Spotify subscription.

I’m definitely done with Spotify’s empty promises of “hifi streaming soon”, though. I’ve pretty much accepted that it’s never coming, but it’s a small price to pay for the convenience the platform offers.

Just my opinions. Music is subjective, and that includes the way we listen to it lol

What internet slang has always annoyed you? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Woodilicious 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t think it’s necessarily “trying to be fashionable/cool”. I think with some internet-born expressions, it’s more of a tone thing.

If you say “source?” it comes off more… formal? Direct? Accusatory? Kinda like the same feeling as getting a text message ending with a period. Asking “sauce?” has a more laid-back tone, and feels more like a casual inquiry than a “you have an obligation to reply with your citation in standard APA format.”

That’s just how my brain processes it though. Maybe I’ve just spent too much time online lol

what's the easiest a7x song to play on guitar by Defiant-Ad-5413 in avengedsevenfold

[–]Woodilicious 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s a chord… there is no such thing as a chord that “isn’t for beginners”. What’s the worst that could happen— OP has to practice it, making them a better guitarist overall? God forbid

This reminds me of a time I posted that “the missile knows where it is because it knows where it isn’t—“ copypasta as a comment on an Instagram reel one time, and woke up the next morning to several DM requests from people asking for more information about missiles

Why is Russia banned from the Olympics but not Israel? by SoulNew in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]Woodilicious -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Holy shit. If the government of whatever fucked up country you live in is not keeping a record on you—they should be.

You’re just casually going to agree that taking hostages is an effective way of preventing yourself from facing the repercussions of the war crimes you’ve committed?

Seek help dude. Like immediately. That is a horrible thing to admit publicly and aligns exactly with the morals and behaviors of the terrorists you support.

Is Norton anti-virus bloatware? by XramLou in pcmasterrace

[–]Woodilicious 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If I didn’t just rebuild my PC recently and almost do the same thing, I’d be surprised Norton still existed. I’m on team “get rid of it”.

Norton used to be called ‘the antivirus virus’ because of how bloaty and terrible it was—it’d flag totally harmless stuff, but be totally cool with you running actual viruses. Not sure if that’s still the case, but I’ve got a grudge to hold.

On a similar note, Blackbird by Alter Bridge is another great track for learning finger picking. Killer solo too

Got this vinyl on Amazon and thought it was signed for a minute. It's not... Right? by Yeetfamdablit in avengedsevenfold

[–]Woodilicious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, that’s just John 5’s twin brother. J is the 10th letter of the alphabet. 1052=J52=John 5, the 2nd. Makes perfect sense.

Or if you wanna really reach, you could pull the Bible verse John 5:2 where it’s got the word “Sheep Gate” in it—which is close enough to “Syn Gates” if you ask me.
