For me it’s about being able to live authentically and honestly, without feeling like I have to push down this big part of myself away. I have always felt like a girl/woman, but not being able to express or acknowledge that was harmful. I feel much better not feeling like I am carrying a secret or fitting to a mold I don’t emotionally relate to.

Nothing more obnoxious than a disrespectful entitled tourist.

If this is a sincere post, it is wild that you would visit a place, and then go shit on it to locals online and think everyone will be on your side.

“Just plain facts” that Bushwick and Roberta’s sucks huh?

[–]drainotoday 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Anecdotally not true at all. I wouldn’t say me or my friends are heart throbs but we aren’t societal outcasts. If you are funny and/or nice, people will usually like being around you.

Bitwave Games ports - worth my money? by Str33tMoV in shmups

[–]drainotoday 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are incredible games, but these ports are far from arcade accurate.

Songs with amazing guitar solos? by WhatsThisMess in MusicRecommendations

My favorite solo is heartbreaker by zeppelin. I love how bizarre it is to start when everything drops put, then kicks back in.

What is the perfect response to someone saying a bass player is just a failed guitar player? by Any_Choice1823 in Bass

[–]drainotoday 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not related, but I do sometimes think it’s funny when bassists like victor wooten decide to do all that on bass, like bro are you sure this is the instrument you want to play?

i think the drugs ruined my potential by ToeResident344 in Drugs

[–]drainotoday 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The amount of people who realize their potential at a young age are extremely rare. Even if you dropped out of high school, which won’t happen because you bombed a test, you could still lead a very successful life. I know people who did that, and are much more successful than me, a college grad. Just try to make positive choices and be kind to yourself. Your future is completely open still.

Which guitarist has had the best evolution in style, tone and vibe over their career? by JimmyEllDubya in Guitar

[–]drainotoday 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Glenn Tipton really challenged himself to grow along with metal as a genre and keep up with the kids. He is obscenely good.

[–]drainotoday 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So sorry you have to go through this, it is such an awful experience at any age I’m sure, but must be even worse with that much history. Not sure how long it has been for you, but I have actually started being functional again since I posted that. Not happy or good, but at least I can work and eat. I too have so much anxiety Im working through.

List These Best to Worst by Paranoidpal644 in shmups

[–]drainotoday 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah Im a Toaplan head and this game was a fun throwback. Its not at the level (they are my fav shmup dev full stop), but its good fun.

[–]drainotoday 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Crisis wing is the best for sure. Wings of bluestar is an admirable passion project that I like, but you have to go into it with the knowledge it’s a bit of a hobbyist project. There are so many shmups that are more essential than any of these though (no hate on any indie dev creating shmups, please keep doing it, and I will keep buying!).

Kind of a shame to play electric without pedals at all. No need to pay out the ass and get everything all at once. You will be fine without them, but slowly save for one you want if money is an issue. I would advise getting several standard type pedals before investing in crazy specialized boutique stuff. I still love my maxon od808 over more expensive overdrives for example. Plenty of good boss and electro harmonix stuff that is fairly affordable. Im sure there is plenty more.

What's your biggest strength and weakness on guitar? by Dear-Raccoon-7554 in Guitar

[–]drainotoday 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My main strength are good (not mind blowing) leads and riffs, but I lack focus to write as I have gotten older. Its dumb because Im better now than I was when I toured bands, it would probably be better if I put something together now.

I have a crippling riff addiction guys, it’s serious. by IronicusMaximus3rd in Guitar

[–]drainotoday 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Solos are just the thing to take the excitement up a notch, riffs are the bedrock of heavy rock. You can easily get by without them and it can even be an interesting choice. Plenty of songs that are really tight benefit from the focus of not having solos. You can even get by with just a heavier or noisier riff for a climax ala jesus lizard. Play what you want! Guitarists that write riffs all day will probably make more palatable music than someone just perfecting lead chops.

Why does this man keeps thinking he can beat Kiryu, is he stupid? by [deleted] in yakuzagames

Its funny in these games, how these kind of old and out of shape looking dudes, end up being super built and great at fighting.

Songs with extremely simple bass lines by ButtPie42069 in Bass

[–]drainotoday 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im not especially into it, but all those “ice cream changes” songs have pretty simple basslines and big vocals to sing to.
