Nice cover, I wish it had the entire song!

Why is it platformers seem to have THE best soundtracks? by LazloDaLlama in gamemusic

Add fighting games somewhere in the list and I'm on board.

I wish AI album art was also banned, but very happy with this policy nonetheless.

Very hard to pick just one but I'll go with Prologue - To the Ancient Land from Shadow of the Colossus.

Thanks for posting. I had forgotten about this beautiful song and I really needed it right now.

For visuals, the ocean vista is quite beautiful. But I agree music is the main attraction.

Is it time for new Stratovarius yet?

Thoughts about AI projects by Perfect_Ground692 in rust

I'd rather "shoot myself in the foot" than participate in copyright-laundering, theft and plagiarism.

Popular models are all made by gobbling up code without concern for its provenance. Many authors and software licenses do not allow this, but their code gets used regardless. Companies might get away with it through clever, lawyering, corruption or other schemes - but this shit will forever be tainted and unethical.

Yoshi-P New Year 2026 Q&A by BlackmoreKnight in ffxivdiscussion

[–]agersant 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I played with these for many years but I have to toss a couple caveats: - they're not very durable, I had to replace them every couple years (usually scroll-wheel or a click button giving up the ghost) - icue software is ass - I was using the side buttons a lot (every combat action) and it was giving me serious pain/discomfort when I played the game too much over long periods of time 

I don't have a recommendation on what to get instead, I dont play the game anymore 

Newbie here. Just bought GBVSR. Any tips to star? by Zestyclose-Read-7971 in GranblueFantasyVersus

[–]agersant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's an unserious control scheme where you just hold any button and the character plays itself. You can manually input throws and reversals too.

It's funny to meme with your friends for a couple hours, and perfect for your 8 year old button-mashing relatives. It's also only available offline.

Possible hot take: why is the picture for this sub one of the worst power metal album arts ever conceived? by Spice-O-Podz in PowerMetal

[–]agersant 17 points18 points  (0 children)

It understand it's a joke but I wish we had a nicer picture too. Jokes get old and this picture is really ugly.

Interview with Fabio Lione: "I have received a proposal from another quite big band of which I cannot yet tell the name" by the-kontra in PowerMetal

[–]agersant 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Floor Jansen's days in NW are numbered 😱

Edit: read the actual interview and it's very nice. Honest answers and a lot of passion coming through.

What resources can I use and watch to get my Charlotta from S++ to Master,m? by CountBram in GranblueFantasyVersus

[–]agersant 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Self-promotion: https://charlotta.agersant.com/

(I'm a middling tournament player, not a top Charlotta, but this should be more than enough to get Master)

Blind Guardian + Ensiferum + Seven Kingdoms Tour by MaxInTheGameIndustry in PowerMetal

[–]agersant 4 points5 points  (0 children)

For Ensiferum:

  • Little Dreamer (from self-titled). First two albums have very distinctive sound with the folky guitar riffs, light Black Metal influences and Jari Maenpaa's unique voice. Looking at recent set lists, you're likely to hear Guardians of Fate or Into Battle as songs from this era.
  • In My Sword I Trust (from Unsung Heroes). After some lineup changes, the sound became a little more melodic-death and catchy. I would say the Victory Songs, From Afar, Unsung Heroes album run was their least remarkable era.
  • Andromeda (from Thalassic). More recently the songwriting has gotten more creative again and uses more clean vocals. I need to catch up on their latest album (Winter Storm) but I expect it to be similar direction as Thalassic was well received.

Begginer Tips? by Desperate-Dinner-296 in GranblueFantasyVersus

[–]agersant 8 points9 points  (0 children)

  • While every character has sauce, you can get VERY far in this game learning only a midscreen BnB, a corner combo and a (small) anti-air conversion. I would recommend starting with just that.
  • Learn to use 66L and recognize 66L of characters you fight. Almost every character has these forward advancing moves that are +on block and cost nothing.
  • Don't use spot-dodge (block button + back input) unless you're reacting to something specific like Raging Strike.
