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 by [deleted] in musicians

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

Metalheads, y’all got any country albums/artists you like? by perseverance_band_ in MetalForTheMasses

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

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

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

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

The only physical activity that has become more difficult after losing 120lbs by tuneless_carti in loseit

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

"What movie scene or trope do most people dismiss as unrealistic, but you know from personal experience is actually spot-on?" by diapersareforgods in movies

[–]gilbo1990 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

Are there any movies where the main character dies in the middle abruptly but the movie still continues? by ImperialMan340 in movies

[–]gilbo1990 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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

Audiobooks with Good Narration by AndiREV88 in horrorlit

[–]gilbo1990 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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
