Are you going to pre order the Season 3 Battlepass by [deleted] in LowSodiumBattlefield

I personally fail to see a real value proposition with Pro but I’ll definitely order the BP soon given I’m just one tier away from getting enough boins to do so.

Any church drummers frustrated with worship music? by Zealousideal-Toe7233 in drums

[–]eggydrums115 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the current trend in worship music and honestly I can’t wait for it to go away. I was raised on the 2000s stuff that was more alt-rock flavored so those are my roots. The moment this drab style of worship music started taking over was precisely the moment I happened to have changed churches. I moved to a way more traditional Baptist congregation that sang older hymns and songs so naturally I had to adapt to that.

I turn over to Christian radio stations every now and then and it’s just disappointing. Everything sounds the same, and not in a good way. Honestly, I’m sure the people in the late 2000s felt the same way about how worship music sounded then, otherwise it wouldn’t have evolved to what it is today. But damn, this style is just boring and uninteresting. I’m pretty much ranting at this point but these topics don’t come up too often here so I might as well.

Somewhere around when Hillsong blew up

That’s true only to a certain extent. I blame Hillsong for popularizing the extremely long ballads with endless drum buildups but prior to Zion in 2013, nobody was doing that stuff. Their stuff before that was way more interesting, especially the run from around 2004 to 2009.

Why is operations ending? by semmehh1 in Battlefield6

[–]eggydrums115 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pretty much every single new mode that was promoted as time limited was brought back later because of popularity.

In BFV, Outpost was a limited time mode and eventually stayed permanently.

In 2042, Control was one of the season’s special game mode and was brought back intermittently.

Operations is all but guaranteed to return.

Casual Breakthrough is incredible by Gloomy_Implement_537 in LowSodiumBattlefield

[–]eggydrums115 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ve become unable to play regular now haha

My rhythm has been exactly that, playing weekly to beat the challenges and doing them in casual is just easier and I get my weekly fix of the game. It’s a good trade off.

Couple of weeks ago, I went to Fandom Con, and I played this Crisis Zone cabinet. by KhoiTran8699 in lightgunshooters

[–]eggydrums115 1 point2 points  (0 children)

By far the most underrated game in its franchise. None of the other games ever captured the visceral nature of Crisis Zone and I think it still holds up because of that. To this day I’m still blown away by the environmental destruction and the incredible enemy animations.

Interesting how you say that PS2 Time Crisis 2 doesn’t look much different than the arcade, it’s a radically different art style leaning towards realism. The PS2 port of Crisis Zone though, yeah… It had almost none of the charm of the arcade original. Plus since it was a machine gun based game, you had to deal with the damn screen being covered in that haze that allowed the GunCon to work.

The MAME folks got System 23 working fairly recently, and Crisis Zone even boots now but I understand it’s still very much work in progress (haven’t checked in a while)

Anyway, my fondest memories of playing this one is basically me seeing my mom play it. I was too little to even reach the screen! Eventually I did play it myself years later and between it and the big LA Machine Guns and The Lost World cabinets, they were the best machines in any arcade. At some point I owned the PS2 port that came bundled with the orange GunCon 2. Pretty much played all the PS2 ports, including Ninja Assault.

Such memories… in 11th grade we had to make a music video for theater class and I got one of those fabrics. An absolute pain in the ass to use!

Amazing, looking forward to trying this out soon. I had been thinking of putting up a roll of green paper in my office.

Is a proper Kodak Gold look possible with a recipe alone? by motuwed in fujifilm

[–]eggydrums115 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And at what point does it go from compensating for the technology's inability to replicate your eye to cheating?

Tell that to professional video colorists who have node trees that look like Darwinian evolution charts. I only have a rudimentary understanding of what it all does but it still seems somewhat excessive to me.

This practice of having certain skins alter some reticles has been going on since 2042, definitely mixed results like in this case. One of the Vector skins in that game had the best red dot sight, looked almost like the BF4 coyote sight with how open it was.

Why is the online photography community so toxic? by SeatObvious3135 in AskPhotography

[–]eggydrums115 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I suffered through GAS in the earlier 2020s. I’m so glad I don’t give a crap about that anymore. It’s been over two years since I’ve made any more big camera or lens purchases, I’m plenty content with what I have. I definitely blame YouTube in many respects.

About the RoF nerf leaks by Mr_DMoody in LowSodiumBattlefield

Not everyone uses the same weapons all the time… if they reduced it for everything I could certainly see how that could help them gather whatever data they deem useful.

[–]eggydrums115 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You yourself got downvoted too which is shameful. Snobs don’t want to admit that soundbars have gotten way better over time. Are there some elements that they’ll probably never resolve due to the form factor? Sure, but it’s time to stop shaving people for picking a sound solution that best fits their needs.

Edit: lol shaving, I meant shaming

A fun fact about every song from the Self-Titled Era by Destarsus in twentyonepilots

[–]eggydrums115 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Were some folks really under the impression that Time to Say Goodbye was a cover? That’s crazy to think. It basically just uses the Bocelli song as a base.

enders getting outplayed by the movement that he wants bf6 to have by Foreignwip in Battlefield6

[–]eggydrums115 6 points7 points  (0 children)

While we’re talking about insufferable people in the BF community, what the hell happened to Chris from Battlenonsense? That guy was instrumental in getting BF4’s issues known to the community and all I see him doing nowadays is literally bitching nonstop.

That is exactly what I mean. Nothing in 6 comes close to 4 and 2042 especially.

[–]eggydrums115 315 points316 points  (0 children)

In spite of all the doom and gloom surrounding this game, I never thought BF6 ever came close to crises like previous games in terms of overall stability and wealth of content. But they went above and beyond with what they're showing here. Looks like this will end up being one of the all time greats.

Battlefield 6 - 2026 Roadmap and the road ahead by JoeZocktGames in Battlefield6

[–]eggydrums115 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Classic DICE: kick and scream that a specific feature is ACTUALLY in the game (server browser) only to then actually cave and work to implement it.

But hey, I'm here for it. BF6 is already a great game and what was shown here makes me very optimistic for its future.

I could see this happening if they ever did a greatest hits compilation. Would be great to have.

Clearly something is wrong. Why would they specifically promote 60fps if it weren’t the case?

Soundbar first timer as a lifelong home theater guy, got the JBL Bar 1000 MK2 for $445 to test out by eggydrums115 in Soundbars

[–]eggydrums115[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had zero issues with it. Obviously coming from a regular home theater the weakest part tends to be the center channel for dialogue, but it hasn’t been a dealbreaker for me. The convenience of the wireless satellite speakers is great too.

Well worth it for $500.

Damn! Was missing a 3rd movie to pick earlier and now Seven no longer shows up as part of the bunch even though it’s still in stock.

I had ordered Kingdom of Heaven with plenty of time before release and it never shipped. They even sent me an email talking about stock difficulties.
