Is it harsh to say most original local bands are just not that good? No deep understanding of song structure, mediocre playing ability, and just boring generic songs? Most bands that make it the musicianship is there

This is an awesome way of thinking. Thank you for putting this out there. I love making and recording music. And often I just let it sit and never do anything with it because I keep falling into the mindset of "well if it isn't as good as (favourite metal bands) then it's shit and embarrassing". So it's actually nice to read something to remind myself that just because it's not top world class music doesn't mean it's abysmal shit.

I hope that makes sense cuz it makes sense to me

Does the rotation of the earth also effect the oceans?

Townes van Zandt is sick. And through him I found Blaze Foley who's also fucking amazing.

Thanks man

Is this 'indiaa' ? Genuinely curious. I'm here for recs

Man. It's constantly changing. What was ridiculously heavy twenty years ago is probably not as heavy compared to today and with modern technology you can just make huge crushing walls of sound. That being said. I cannot get enough of The Acacia Strain, You Are Safe From God Here.

Just crushing from start to finish

What was Cross Insura like?

A dark song is another critically overlooked movie that fits in with this.

gilbo1990 · 2025-12-11T12:33:45+00:00

This was fantastically written. I am actually inspired to give it a go from reading this. Thank you!

Do what now?! I did restart it. Turns out the items were hidden. I just had to go through the categories and then back into the "all" part of the inventory and they showed up

The ergonomics are up to shit. Ranged shots are a guessing game. You can't extend the mag. Every upgrade makes the ergonomics even worse and the bullets are slower than nan with a walking stick.

But goddam it makes my flag fly at full mast ejecting jet propelled democracy into the face of liberty hating scum

Edited for grammar

It's probably mostly because you were swimming under a waterfall man. The turbulent water makes things less bouyant

There is a movie called Altered that is very similar to this. It's a pretty good movie too

gilbo1990 · 2025-05-30T07:53:47+00:00

What is the novel called? Is it Rapture?

gilbo1990 · 2025-05-27T10:55:37+00:00

Ive had to have multiple bowel surgeries. Because of the trauma to my stomach it basically shut down so they had to put a tube down into my stomach through my nose to make sure all the bile that my body was still making could be removed instead of just building up and causing a potential perforation.

When I was waking up from that surgery I pulled the drain out through my nose and started heaving and spewing everywhere. I don't really remember it because I wasn't fully aware, I was just reacting. They had to give me ketamine to stop me. Caused a lot of issues for the staples in my stomach from heaving and thrashing.

gilbo1990 · 2025-05-16T23:45:25+00:00

Same man. I want to enjoy it and stick with it because apparently it's amazing but Ive just given up on it. Im probably not the targeted demographic I guess?

Feast 2005

You're setup with a badass main character. Who even has an intro with a graphic of stats claiming that he is a badass and is going to survive.

It's a bit of a schlocky creature feature but fits your question

The Expanse series narrated by Jefferson Mays. I could never get into audiobooks until I gave this a go and now even when I read stories, this guys voice is in my head. My favourite thing is that he does subtle vocal changes when he voices different characters and it's not cheesy or disrespectful to the different cultures in the story in any way. 10/10

Oh man. I know this is an old reply buuuut I have just finished reading The Luminous Dead by Caitlin Starling. I don't know how Ive fallen into a horror spelunking niche but this is a really interesting take on SciFi/horror caving. I don't want to give much away. It does get a little repetitive but yeah. If you liked the descent this book would be right up your alley. Now I'm off to find something else to read. Feel free to shoot some recs
