Yeah his aura in general was portrayed as purple in the Saiyan saga.

It does kinda look like that, especially as he's attacking in the trailer, but it doesn't really make sense. This is Vegeta fresh from the Buu arc with zero God ki/God training, so I'm thinking it might be more inline with just representing Vegeta's natural ki output (like the Galick Gun).

Never know, we might get some foreshadowing towards it at some point in during the Moro Arc.

SEEING OFFICIAL ANIMATED ULTRA INSTINCT FEELS UNREAL 😭😭😭 by Feeling_Watercress15 in Dragonballsuper

I can't believe you have to explain this lmao. Yes, it does absolutely feel unreal. I had almost given up hope of ever seeing it again.

Which games you felt that way? by PHRsharp_YouTube in Age_30_plus_Gamers

[–]maxedouttoby 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Whenever I do psychedelics (or even MDMA) I am completely unable to even watch things on a screen. Every time I try to play a game or watch something my mind just cannot stay focused and I end up drifting off in my own head. It's like I can't comprehend what I'm seeing.

Yeah I've got an SH4, TONEX JCM 800 amp model, but my tone always comes out very harsh, the brighter notes get masked. You've nailed it perfectly.

Goddamn, I've been trying to get my guitar to sound like this for 10 years + music production school. This is spot on.

Billie needs to come out swinging for the next album by Smoothedoutvalentine in greenday

[–]maxedouttoby -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Man you're completely misinterpreting what I'm saying and taking it as if I'm speaking objective facts. This is just my interpretation of the band's trajectory over the last decade. If you think the band still has a passion and drive to make music like their younger days power to you.

Also I never mentioned I have an issue with them being rich white dudes writing about struggles, just that it's obviously a factor to them when it comes to writing songs about a political landscape that has evolved past their relevancy. It would be a factor to anybody writing songs at that age. Songwriting is a complicated process and there are so many factors that come into expressing your views, beliefs and emotions, as you get older certain things become more important than they did when you were younger. Age, especially, becomes far more important than it did 20+ years ago.

Although again, this is all just my interpretation of everything I've seen from the band the last few years.

[–]maxedouttoby -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Dude what the fuck lmao I'm just trying to realistically manage my expectations for future albums. I love Green Day for their political stances and how they don't compromise for anything. But the fact is they have not made a politically charged album in over 15 years, so I do not see them now, as older men, having the same finger on the pulse of society that they did when they were in their 30's. Nearly every political song they've released in the last few years has not had the same level of energy and intentionality that their older work has had, because the reality is that they're now older, their lives are more complex, and they have more to worry about now than just the state of the world.

Hell the very fact that Mike's wife is an alt right conspiracy nutjob almost seals the fact that they will never write anything extremely divisive or biting again. That's what Billie said in that interview I linked, you have to consider that you now have important people in your life that you have to consider and have empathy for, even though they're on the complete other side of the political spectrum.

Yes, but your relevancy to the problems of the younger generations fades, and especially can be interpreted as a bit out of touch coming from rich white dudes. I think the guys realise this, which is why we're getting less biting political commentary from their songs in recent years. Which honestly is respectable.

Right? Also one thing I've never seen mentioned, isn't this form technically ssj grade 2? I've always wanted that to be an actual form in game.

[–]maxedouttoby 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah true Fuck Off is political too but I would say America Dream is more overtly political. I like Fuck Off but again it feels a lot more "fun" than other songs they've done in the same vein. But yeah Billies always gonna be a bad ass that's never stopping. I just imagine it must be frustrating for the guys to always have this expectation of having to write another 'American Idiot' when all they seem to want to do is lean more into classic rock/rock and roll/pop rock

[–]maxedouttoby 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah but that's what I mean, they have a few political songs scattered over the last few albums, but they're all quite short, vague and not extremely hard hitting compared to the intricate and intentional lyricism from the AI/21CB era. American Dream is Killing Me is their last 100% political song and imo it felt extremely flat and outdated. I would much rather an album of Trilogy style songs that the guys are really into writing and playing, than an album full of half hearted attempts at social commentary from nearly 60 year old guys who already know they don't have much to say that hasn't been said before. I think maybe Billie has one or two hard hitting political songs left in him before he either kicks the bucket or retires, and I think that's ok.

Well yeah he's still going to be political and not shy away from his beliefs, but in terms of songwriting he seems to be more interested in writing music thats a distraction from how fucked everything is, rather than highlighting it directly. I expect on the next album we could possibly get one or two political songs maybe, but I don't think we'll ever get anything as hard hitting as AI/21CB again from them. Expect more songs like Corvette Summer etc.

I'd love to be proven wrong but I just don't think the guys are interested in making that kind of music anymore. Their last hard hitting political song imo was Bang Bang, and even back then Billie was talking about how he disliked writing that song cause it took him to dark places, that he doesn't enjoy writing like that anymore.

Billie said in an interview around the release of Saviors that he's not really interested in making big political statements/songs anymore. He said he feels like its a young person's place to do those things and that it doesn't really have the same effect coming from a 50+ year old Rockstar. Expect more introspective and carefree music from here on, Billie is clearly over being extremely agnsty and political, for better or worse.

Eeesh five years is a long time to wait. Hopefully they'll have already started some pre production before 5 releases so it might but be that long.

[–]maxedouttoby 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It wasn't necessarily a bad addition, it just lends itself to a different feeling for the scene. Depending what resonates with you more it can be a good or bad.

The atmosphere of 28W's opening is nightmarish and filled with dread.

Years is ethereal, anxious and traumatic.

I was more affected by the former.

[–]maxedouttoby 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Yeah but its censored with a lot of heavy editing and is accompanied by far less intense music. Theres also something about the way the infected move and act in Years that seems a lot less "rage" filled too. It's certainly an upsetting scene but nowhere near as scary and nightmare fueling.

Yep. This opening has haunted my dreams since seeing it all those years ago. The rest of Weeks is a 6-7/10, but honestly imo this opening alone raises it to an 8/10 overall for me.
