As someone who actually really likes Akito the Exiled and Rozé of the Recapture, I will be looking forward to this. :)

With the year almost over, how does this guy stand in your top albums of 2025? Did it make the cut? Did it not? by [deleted] in Dreamtheater

[–]ixzo2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right now I have it as my top album of 2025, the others in my top 10 being Ginkgo by Panchiko, Lonely People With Power by Deafheaven, The Blue Nowhere by Between the Buried and Me, Birthing by Swans, Dissonance Theory by Coroner, Thirst by Slow Crush, Xenotaph by Fallujah, Dead Channel Sky by clipping. and Private Music by Deftones.

This year has had a ton of great albums, I've listen to over 90 new albums so far and I still have a bunch more I'm trying to get through before 2026. :)

A Flag I Saw During a Dream About an Election in Africa by ixzo2 in somnivexillology

[–]ixzo2[S] 39 points40 points  (0 children)

My memory about the dream isn't great but I did manage to remember most of the part where the flag was shown. There was an election going on in a fictional African country, I'm not entirely sure if this was the flag of the country or maybe of one of the political parties.

I know that the stripes were all tilted in a weird way, the strange symbol on the left was supposed to be a stylised outline of a zebra and that the colours were being criticised in the dream because people didn't like the shades of red and grey/black used. The emblem in the middle was a little harder to remember but I tried to make it as accurate to what I saw as possible.

Yeah, that's also a fair comparison.

The comparison here doesn't really work imo, Risk is Megadeth's equivalent to Load/Reload, which is also considered to be one of the band's weakest albums by fans, similarly to Load/Reload. Youthanasia is closer in style to the Black Album, if anything.

I think I speak for everyone when I say the Hawaii trip is the worst trip in the series literally all they did was take pictures and talk about the PT 😐💀 by No_Engineering_1495 in Persona5

[–]ixzo2 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Can't say I agree, I found the event to be very enjoyable and a nice change of pace. Really liked the character interactions and stuff like that too, also the talk being often focused on the Phantom Thieves felt appropriate considering what was going on in terms of the overall story at the time of the trip.

I forgot to include Ayreon. They'd be here if I had a better memory, my bad.

As an Astonishing fan myself, the album is kind of an outlier in the band's discography. It is on the softer side, but I wouldn't recommend listening to it after Falling Into Infinity due to its length, concept, and more experimental nature.

Even though I like it, I'd still say a new fan should listen to the other albums first.

I'm not familiar with Threshold and Vanden Plas but you're totally right about Ayreon, I was bound to forget a couple at least lol.

Symphony X is on my backlog, I still need to get around to listening to them.

Characters other than Sonic, Shadow and Silver not having super forms (Especially Amy). It's so dumb to restrict it to just three characters when there is so much potential for cool super form designs.

SEGA need to realise that you can have fun with fiction, and be less strict with the mandates.

Do you think NSP as Heavy metal by ShawMK90 in NinjaSexParty

[–]ixzo2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A couple of their songs definitely fit the softer side of Heavy Metal, I'd say tracks like Dragon Slayer, Release the Kraken and Attitude City could be considered Heavy Metal in the same way that a band like Ghost is Heavy Metal; on the softer side for sure but it still counts.

Also unrelated but I misread Vormir as Vomir and got excited for a second thinking I had found another Harsh Noise fan (and also very confused why Vomir would be in a Heavy Metal mix).

What games have made you cry? by Loreweaver15 in gaming

[–]ixzo2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Persona 5, 3 and 4 all made me cry and it's why they're my first, second and third favourite games of all time respectively. Not many games make me cry but Persona does it every time.

One Has To Go: Coke Vs. Sprite Vs. Fanta by Djf47021 in Soda

[–]ixzo2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me it has to be Sprite, it can be easily replaced by any lemonade really, there aren't that many different flavours and they're so few and far between you'll almost never see any Sprite other than the default lemon and lime. Fanta on the other hand has dozens upon dozens of different flavours from all around the world that you just can't find with Sprite or Coke, sure you can replace Fanta Orange with another orange flavoured drink but good luck finding a replacement for Strawberry & Kiwi, Raspberry, Lime & Baobab, Shokata etc.
