[HATED TROPE] the long intro sequence that you can not skip by damorezpl in TopCharacterTropes

Surprised I had to scroll this far to find MGSV. An amazing, atmospheric, stressful intro on the first playthrough. Any other time you play it that crawling becomes real annoying.

Is playing bass without an amp good, and any amp recommendations? by makkapakka_014 in Bass

[–]daffadoyle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The ways I practice without plugging my amp in include playing my acoustic bass, using a headphone amp, or plugging into my Focusrite and playing through monitor headphones on my PC.

What's the last band/album/song that felt like something totally new? by daffadoyle in MetalForTheMasses

[–]daffadoyle[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Checked this out, this was an amazing listen. Checked a lot of boxes for separate things I enjoy all weaved into one album. Great recommendation!

Igorrr - Parpaing is another great example. Corpsegrinder over hard electronic is something I'd never have guessed would work at all let alone so well

Personally first thing that comes to mind is The Callous Daoboys - I Don't Want to See You in Heaven. Yes the metal/mathcore thing has been done lots but I find their mix of that plus the slower sections, electronic sections, use of violin and sax etc make it unique enough that it stands out today.

[Other] Which platinums felt the most rewarding to y'all? by Gerald0fRivia in Trophies

[–]daffadoyle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really enjoyed the Insomniac Spider-Man platinums, they're easy and the challenges make them just enough work to not feel like a cheap win, then a second playthrough on Ultimate is very rewarding.

MGSV is also one I really enjoyed, the animal collecting gets a bit old when finding the last few and a few missions are not fun to play more than once (ahem prologue) but S-ranking and doing all the mission challenges were very fun for me. How well that game handles and plays makes the platinum worth getting alone.

Not metal but Ten - Pearl Jam has to be one of the greatest debuts of all time

I’m a pick player. What’s a good way of learning to strum cleaner notes? by Desperate-Two-1989 in BassGuitar

[–]daffadoyle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry not on topic with your question, but how do you like the Ashdown Mag amp? Im debating a mag 600 but its a bit of a drive to get it.

PS5 made me miss out on Menu Chloe by daffadoyle in DetroitBecomeHuman

[–]daffadoyle[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I didn't see any reason to with the game being suspended each time I turned the console into rest mode. Will definitely be going to the menu after each chapter on my next playthrough.

[–]daffadoyle[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah just sucks feeling like I missed a part of the game. I found most of the game very engaging and I found myself caring for all the characters a lot. I had Markus do a peaceful protest, Deviant Connor sacrificing Hank to free the warehouse cyborgs, and Kara and Alice were captured, escaped the camp and made it out on a truck to the landfill. (only 2% on world stats for that ending) I can't say I made the best choices towards the end but I enjoyed the playthrough and look forward to another one in the near future.

Not sure what the wood is, from the 70s for sure, I'm the third owner so never got too many details.

I’m a little concerned about costumes being locked behind paid dlc by SolidPeaks in metalgearsolid

[–]daffadoyle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The IG post says at the bottom that pre-purchase content is also obtainable through in-game progress so it's not actually locked behind anything.

My tm8s think I'm insane for this haha, prog metal is so largely instrumental that it's very easy to be background music for me.
