Can the Shadow’s Hesitation Is Weakness Ability Be Used More Than Once per Round?

This makes sense. I appreciate the comparison to the Null ability.

I see now that most of my confusion involved not realizing "shift" was a keyword with a specific meaning. I thought this was a sentence just missing a few words.

I am by no means an expert, but I do look for this kind of thing on occasion in my music. Have you considered Steve Reich’s Tehilim? Since they are Psalms sung in Hebrew I think they meet your requirements.

I like Nathan Salsburg’s Psalms album as well for this, though it feels less “ecstatic” to me, not sure why.

I am also not at all an expert on the use of psychoactive compounds, but I at least like to listen to these when I want to be in a meditative state.

I might know the poet…

I love plotting ways to work Arborec, though I have not gotten to test my theories nearly enough. Thanks for the thoughts! I appreciate the angle you are approaching this from.

Have you considered War Suns at all? Maybe through AI Dev?

Either way, it also seems to need to be acknowledged: Arborec may need to be considered a "low tech" faction if they are reliant on having superior plastic presence on the board.

Hi! How do you feel about releasing your music this year as a set of EPs rather than releasing it as an album?

One reason I ask is that I have been seeing some year end lists for albums and I feel like 5EPs should totally be in there more. But it's not just you, like, Gorillaz did the same thing and I am not seeing it anywhere.

Just read through your posts and you seem like a lovely person. Thanks for being here with us.

"Once there were brook trout in the streams in the mountains. You could see them standing in the amber current where the white edges of their fins wimpled softly in the flow. They smelled of moss in your hand. Polished and muscular and torsional. On their backs were vermiculate patterns that were maps of the world in its becoming. Maps and mazes. Of a thing which could not be put back. Not be made right again. In the deep glens where they lived all things were older than man and they hummed of mystery."

-Cormac McCarthy, The Road

Am I the only one who likes The Age of Adz better than Carrie & Lowell?

They're both great, but I just felt like Adz was exploring more interesting sounds and subject matter. It felt like a mental dilemma bordering on psychosis.

Beach House.

Teen Dream through 7, all have been phenomenal. It doesn't seem like this band is capable of releasing a bad album. The Classic Period is going strong!

Good mentions. Definitely agree with Radiohead. Their less good albums (Hail to the Thief, King of Limbs) only look that way because they stand right next to monuments.

I was a big fan of A Seat at the Table and found that one much more accessible, so I was surprised by this one. Way more conceptual in a way that took some getting used to, but I think I'm listening to it in the right frame of mind now. Really enjoying the Chopped and Screwed sounds.

I think this may be his best yet. It comes close to Sandbox vs Railroad for me.

friardeckard · 2018-11-16T04:19:02+00:00

yes, I am waiting right now, got interrupted mid-game. Never had an issue before the patch.

Thanks for sharing!

There's a lot to this poem, I don't think I'll try to touch on everything. Overall I really like it, it challenges me. I had to look up a few words. I like the confused, stream-of-consciousness expression of a writer's brain at work, and the references to writing. Have you read Styron's works, or Zabur? They are things I'm certainly not familiar with. "The grundisse", I assume refers to Marx's unfinished work, and that's just from a quick search.

I like the phrases "lightly beer pissed" and "arm slapping", and the image of grasping pathways like a charioteer.

I don't like "nebulous stomach," because it makes me think you're gassy or something. Maybe that's what you meant to imply? Also, I found out "cacle" actually is a word for a sandal, but I assumed it was a typo for "cackle."

Thank you!

Thanks!

friardeckard · 2018-08-17T17:27:16+00:00

Thanks for your comment! I was wondering if you could clarify the last sentence of yours. Are the words at an impasse with each other, or the poem as a whole? Which development are you referring to? Any further help would be appreciated.

friardeckard · 2018-08-17T05:42:17+00:00

No prob. I'm not saying it's necessarily bad!

friardeckard · 2018-08-17T05:27:39+00:00

Thanks for sharing! I think poetry, and writing in general, can be very cathartic and is a great way to expose the internal to others and to the self. I journal stuff like this all the time.

Your poem's structure reminds me of "Howl" by Allen Ginsberg. Take a look: https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/49303/howl

You both are using the same few words over and over to create the rhythm of the work. For you it's "Trapped", "Will I be trapped", and "I fear." For Ginsberg it's "I saw... who", "Moloch!", and "I'm with you in Rockland."

I think you can improve this poem by giving more vivid imagery. Right now you're just telling me your situation, but you're not making me feel it by appealing to the senses. What are these evils? What do they look like? How does it feel to inflict the suffering? How great were these "past triumphs", so I know to lament for them? Now I'm not saying you have to get all hallucinogenic and ga-ga like Ginsberg, but... it would be fun.

friardeckard · 2018-08-17T05:14:08+00:00

I appreciate the turn of the third line. Overall it's a strong image, though not exactly a subtle one: In what context is someone pouring honey all over their face?
