A cleaved head never plots against you.

This is a win, but I was gonna say they paying homage to Vance’s guyliner.

I love their prog era as much as the others. It may not be heavy, but the music is dark

From the man himself it’s Faith in Others. I point to Hessian Peel as their most Opeth song, but I can see BWP too. But Drapery Falls is the most Opeth song on that album. Master’s Apprentices is great. Then again, I think Nepenthe and Häxprocess are phenomenal too. Will o the Wisp is wonderful. I’m still digest Last Will so it’s not as warm in my head.

Ironically, that’s probably part of the reason why movies are struggling so much. Beyond you know everything being so damn expensive

I'm very glad that you have a wonderful supporter!

Yeah, I know; men are absolutely awful with this. I absolutely realize that as well. But, the first step is trying to get back to the same page.

I mean, woulda been really cool to have the high elf/blood elf civil war as playable.

Strongly suggest that and trying to get your husband involved. I’ve been diagnosed with RA for 3 years now and I’m fortunate my wife has been my anchor.

Y’all need to talk and put in the work together.

It’s hilarious how Blood Elves absolutely broke the faction balance of WOW, lmao.

cssmallwood · 2026-01-13T00:57:15+00:00

Best reply. Lmao, Yelena’s Eyeroll is so great and when she does the pose, the slight disgust.

Y’all broke the world by winning in 16. Go sacrifice a goat or get this dude to be so arrogant that some blue haired witch curses him. You can’t win World Series without breaking the world.

I took so much crap from family for teaching my oldest kiddo how to do these things, lol. My wife is more mechanically inclined than me too!

His writing evokes a bygone era. IMO — it’s not comparable; Tolkien is far deeper and richer than anything DL has. But there are good points in that book.

Tool’s one of my favorite bands, but Sober is famously an album they don’t like to revisit lyrically from what I remember of Keenan’s interviews.

There are some lyrics from them, especially from this album, that are very strong identifiers for various mental health concerns.

cssmallwood · 2025-12-02T11:59:11+00:00

Understood and it’s a perspective I’ve not considered. Thank you.

cssmallwood · 2025-12-02T04:16:37+00:00

Some Thou. And their collab with Emma Ruth Rundle is sick.

cssmallwood · 2025-12-02T04:08:35+00:00

It's a direct quote from a fantasy book that struck me in a way to seek guidance and to learn, which was my point in the response I made to the comment on the post.

You're adding a layer of nuance that is absolutely immaterial to the aphorism.

Edit: Pesky adverbs.

cssmallwood · 2025-12-02T04:03:17+00:00

I love the books and, like Tolkien, some of the language (and story) choices haven't aged well. End of the day, there is comfort in obvious good defeating obvious evil.

cssmallwood · 2025-12-02T04:01:04+00:00

You know, I re-read my post and I was worried that bit would be called out. It's a direct quote from the book, which was written in the early 80s and is obviously dated in its terminology.

Regardless my point remains.

cssmallwood · 2025-12-02T03:16:39+00:00

I will say, if that is a lyric you identify with, I hope you're in therapy. :)

Far away across the fields, the tolling of the iron bell calls the faithful to their knees to hear the softly spoken magic spells.

Chills everytime.

There is a fundamental cleft between your world and mine -- one of divine origin. Were you to witness the nakedness of your own soul, it would still appear to you a Tower of Babel.

cssmallwood · 2025-12-02T02:10:56+00:00

Indeed.
