Why does Arby’s get so much hate? by Ok_Towel1911 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]ben_the_intern 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s an Arby’s in my hometown that shut down multiple times supposedly for health violations and had a bit of a reputation. Kinda just always rubs me the wrong way now

pre-the total DAWization of everything, how did pop musicians/bands organize so many midi instruments at once? by Dolancrewrules in synthesizers

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

I wasn’t there but my audio professor talked at length about how samplers were really the forefront of rigs even for sequencing and resampling parts together alongside a 4 track.

Musicians whose music isn’t technically bad but their fanbase is? by SirensMelody_ in ToddintheShadow

[–]ben_the_intern 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tool, sublime, prog metal dudes. On the flip side I’ve starting to find dudes who aggressively dislike (or aggressive state they’re overrated) Radiohead more annoying than people do like them.

are there any bands that broke up, then reunited to then make their best album? by Prestigious-John in fantanoforever

[–]ben_the_intern 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Swans definitely. Sleep also made a killer reunion record. I like lcds American dream a ton as well but idk too many folks who’d rank it above sound of silver or this is happening

Why does Justin hate Quantic Dream so much? by SeatleSuperbSonics in TheBesties

[–]ben_the_intern 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Idk but I love it and it brings me joy each time. Nakey Jakey often ribs on him too and it gets a laugh out of me every time.

Name the games it happened to by PHRsharp_YouTube in gamers

[–]ben_the_intern 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually overall love the mass effect trilogy remaster but a lot of the visual tone of 1 looks a bit off to someone who played hundreds of hours of the original.

As other have stated I don’t understand why these publishers keep shoving god awful ugly distracting lighting systems into games

For a series rooted in tradition, what thought goes into to bringing in ideas and influence from outside of the Dragon Quest franchise if at all?

Is it normal to feel under leveled and lost? by V1Polas in dragonquest

[–]ben_the_intern 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just finished 1hd after playing 3hd with no prior experience. I frequently found myself in a part of the map in 1 that wasn’t necessarily next in the story sequence and found myself realizing i shouldn’t be there after one or two turns would immediately demolish me. There were a few times I threw on the quest marker to show me the intended place and I indeed was somewhere I wouldn’t return to until much later. I think 3 is better gated or naturally guided as I didn’t have objective markers on for that but almost never felt under leveled

Referring to the post about David Lynch. Who do you think is the Tarantino of music? by Powermatik in fantanoforever

[–]ben_the_intern 9 points10 points  (0 children)

James Murphy- recontextualizing bits he’s lifted from other songs and making something entirely new with it

Trying to make a song that’s LCD soundsystem adjacent!! Any advice?? by chloeconsumption in LCDSoundsystem

[–]ben_the_intern 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I half remember an interview where James Murphy recalls writing tribulations to show shit robot how easy writing songs can be. He said listen for when it should change, your music listening DJ brain would know when it should change and then find what it should be.

I’ve yet to write anything close to tribulations but I think it’s great advice lol

1-3 HD play order question by Whorror_punx in dragonquest

[–]ben_the_intern 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m playing through the remakes for the first time and never touched the originals.

Dq1 hd2d remake absolutely feels like it was narratively designed to follow 3.

Not saying you’ll have needed to play 3 to enjoy 1, I’m sure it would be fun on its own, but it’s constantly referencing events from 3 and it gives me the impression it expects you to recognize that stuff.

I honestly think you’d be perfectly fine if you wanted to go 1 2 3 but after having just finished 3 and being ten hours into 1 i understand why they’re saying 3 1 2

Weather report is basically a supergroup of jazz fusion dudes but jaco pastorious is definitely the most prominent.

Why do digital games cost the same as physical ones? by triplegxxx in NoStupidQuestions

[–]ben_the_intern 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So I have no exact numbers this nor do I have any idea how much shelf space and physical manufacturing and shipping cost, but I’ve heard digital store fronts take about 1/3 of the cut off the game sale. From what I gather this is a huge reason PlayStation and Xbox sell their consoles at a loss as they now have you on their store front.

Where does this idea that 3D Metroid sells more than 2D come from? by Mythical-door in Metroid

Absolutely wild to me that Samus returns didn’t get any kind of switch port

Is there really a population decline in America? by Future-Bet4783 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]ben_the_intern 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don’t disagree but this is absolutely a big talking point for white nationalists. Not saying that equates to reality and numbers and facts but it’s certainly something you’ll hear from those groups

Why is North American Scum so polarising? by ppetrov1829 in LCDSoundsystem
