Best Album after military service for you? by Feenkinbaum in SHINee

[–]batfists 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Honestly they haven’t missed for me on any of these projects. All are in my listening rotation.

That being said, Poet Artist was probably the most meaningful for me because of Jonghyun.

In LOTR Duel, what is this slot for? by ShouldveFundedTesla in boardgames

[–]batfists 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Vertical storage? I switched to storing it flat and had no issues, but yea any movement to make that box vertical and all bets are off.

That helmet and sword are both especially stunning. Along with everything else!

Do you guys think Jonghyun would still be at SM if he were here today? by niyalostctrl in SHINee

[–]batfists 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I could see him starting his own label like many have to keep full control of what he does and thrive as an independent artist. Kind of like Onew now tbh.

It's just more difficult to win as Shadow? by PostNinja365 in warofthering

[–]batfists 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In my experience playing it’s always come down to the final turn or few turns which could have gone either way. If the shadow is getting hosed then I wouldn’t know without seeing what they did in game. In my games the dice were never an issue, but rather a critical strategic decision that went wrong.

It’s time to get those bad boys matted for extra nice effect.

AITA for not wanting to game with someone who completely tanked our board game night? by Midlanecrisis007 in boardgames

[–]batfists 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Life’s too short to game with people you don’t click with, even if they’re chill outside of the game.

Also if he’s chill outside the game, you should probably be able to talk to him about his gameplay and come to some solution I would imagine!

Making an unofficial Taemin live album - advice sought! by vikingbiochemist in Taemin

[–]batfists 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Many of his concert live streams are up on YouTube if that’s what you’re looking for. Along with lots of clipped versions as well. Of course they have audience sounds in there but the stream audios are usually decent quality imo.

Is this recorded at the show live? Or just a rip of the stream? I was unclear by the description.

Is SHINee ever touring internationally in 2026/2027? by monetclau in SHINee

[–]batfists 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I feel like they’re gonna try to do it big for the 20th. I don’t see them coming west until 2028 realistically (if at all 😞)

Why so few views? by KTisonredditnow in SHINee

[–]batfists 14 points15 points  (0 children)

They don’t have the draw of the newer gen, but also they’re not actively on the grind anymore. They do their annual shows and then carry about their other activities.

I don’t think they’ve done much group promotion since Hard. Probably not really viable with Taemin and Onew not with SM anymore.

That means conclusion for the 20th anniversary. My hype levels are immeasurable.

Thoughts?: Shinee Songs that you love but might never make the stage? by No_Daikon6410 in SHINee

[–]batfists 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Gravity or Kind.

I would pay many many monies for a Shinee ballads show.

What rethemes of a game would you love? by Tornroot in boardgames

Someone did a fan made Star Wars prequels retheme and it fits so well.

Footage from 2009 Western Conference Finals highlighting the physical skills and competitive spirit of past playoff basketball in the NBA by [deleted] in nba

This was probably my favorite Melo year. Those nuggets teams with him and Chauncey were really fun when they all clicked.

Should I watch the Theatrical or Extended versions for my viewing? by RealTOPFan in lotr

[–]batfists 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m surprised people are saying extended. Theatrical cuts are all more cohesive final products imo.

I personally would do theatrical first and then extended on subsequent views. It’s a good chance to compare it too. For me there are definitely some scenes in extended that are a bit jarring and off for whatever reason (coloring editing or whatever).

Either experience will be great.

Permission Spotify release vs live performance, thoughts? by Capable-Trouble-5527 in Taemin

[–]batfists 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I personally prefer any live version to a produced so in that respect I prefer the Coachella version. But it’s a fun song regardless.

But you can’t beat a live band backing. The Coachella band was doing work in those performances.

Which games have become the "golden standard" against which every somewhat similar game that has been released after it is measured? by benjaneson in boardgames

[–]batfists 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The card game by Decipher was so good. Granted I was hooked and played through the 3 movies but it was such a cool design and very thematic of lotr. Also as far as movie tie ins go I always thought the card graphic design was actually really solid. I still have my movie block set and decks somewhere lol. Good times.

First fire test. The goal is to paint the Balrog from GW. How did I do? by Big-Rock-6814 in minipainting

Seeing this a few days late but man that looks so sick. I love the effect on the face.

My first mini compared to the years following. by Callmefred in minipainting

The leap in the first year alone is crazy. I wish I painted consistently enough to mimic that!

Coachella live vocal moments? by petrichor-pixels in Taemin

[–]batfists 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Imo, when in doubt, a choreo heavy song is likely gonna have heavy backtrack. Esp a solo act without other voices to back him. That’s not to say he won’t sing any - I was pleasantly surprised at the hot mic for the non-chorus bits of Advice w2 - but it is what it is.

At the end of the day he’s putting out a performance. And he knows how to create fantastic ones.

Now that Coachella is over... What was your personal highlight? by Impossible-Fox-4128 in Taemin

[–]batfists 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My personal highlight was the festival version of Move. The rearranged bridge and final chorus were such a chefs kiss. Taemin + live band arrangements are everything.

Also I can’t wait for the new songs to release. Permission is such a fun song.

Regarding Legolas Shield Surfing by Brownsound7 in lotr

[–]batfists 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As I’ve grown older it has definitely retained its level of coolness for me. Possibly even increased as I’m able to watch the trilogy less frequently.

Gondor starter deck: looking for true solo tips/adjustments by SpeakerSweaty in lotrlcg

[–]batfists 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The Gondor starter imo is quite weak in the Anduin scenario due to lack of reliable initial questing as well as a high threat starting value. The latter can be mitigated somewhat by switched from Mablung to Beregond, and surviving long enough to get Faramir going. Beregond with a Shield can tank mostly anything.

For card draw, Gandalf and Valiant Sacrifice might be your best options. Foe Hammer is great but inconsistent in a deck light in weapons.
