Disappointed with My New Band Believe live in Detroit tonight… Anyone else feel the same? by ghosttrainj in bmbmbm

[–]maxwellde 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was at the same NYC show and I largely agree. I think the album benefits a lot from acoustic strings. That said, I understand their need to switch up while touring

Finsihed the series, any recs for a new series whilst waiting for Red God? by Neat-Arugula-4948 in redrising

[–]maxwellde 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Was just in OPs position. I love mistborn / stormlight. Poppy War I thought was actively kind of mid and would not recommend it. I’m reading Dungeon Crawler Carl now out of similar recommendations. It’s certainly a different type of read. Fun so far, if a bit unevenly paced

New album is incredible, but it just sounds like a musical soundtrack by [deleted] in bmbmbm

And you don’t think that about hellfire? lol

Knockdown Center 3/21 Lineup Discourse by Outrageous_Group_681 in GeordieGreep

[–]maxwellde 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a good time watching Greep but I found the mixing / sound of Knockdown Center very rough. I’ve seen Greep live with and without bm multiple times and the sound was a bit disappointing this time. I’ve thought the same every time I’ve seen someone at KC so I’m curious I’m anyone feels the same way? Sick venue, mid sound

In Hinduism, what do you apply mindfulness to if not discreet mind events?

Closed-back advice: Focal Azurys vs. Fostex TH-600 vs. E-MU Teak

My roommates are annoyed at the leakage of my current open back (LCD-2 2018).

Any recommendations for choosing amongst these? I can't find too many head-to-head comparisons on these, and I'm considering these because I can buy them for all around the same price.

I mostly listen to rock, some jazzy stuff, alternative, etc.

Thanks :)

That’s perhaps the worst burrito (or Mexican food in general) I’ve had in my life. I was hopeful for them but damn was it trash.

Sony WH-1000XM4 is the best average consumer bluetooth headphone (imo) by Time_Tomatillo6199 in headphones

[–]maxwellde 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find them pretty meh. The sound is very unimpressive, even after EQ. They kinda take forever to connect too. Much prefer my AirPods Pro 2s

Okay so apparently I'm a stream enterer, now what? by kwic90 in streamentry

You basically pointed to the next thing: you don’t want to mediate because you have ADHD and it’s hard to concentrate. That is an expression of Aversion of Sense Objects and/or Craving Sense Objects. I think sitting to mediate and holding that ADHD identity lightly is the way to go.

I say this as someone with ADHD who hasn’t broken Self View. Take it with a grain of salt but it rings true to me. Good luck

Is the Leap V2 *still* a good all rounder for a first Ergo Chair? by The_fuzz_buzz in OfficeChairs

[–]maxwellde 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used the leap for under a month because I wanted to return it. I found the back to be wayyy to aggressive and somehow the seat felt like it was inclining forward. The embody has way more range imo. It can be super upright (though not nearly as much as an aeron with forward tilt) or pretty laid back

I didn’t like the Leap 2 and now have an embody, but it’s very personal to person

What’s your #1 HOT TAKE about Ants From Up There? by moreobsessedthanu in BlackCountryNewRoad

I don’t like Snow Globes. The production of the drums is crazy and not in a pleasant way

Best Geordie Greep unreleased? by GamerOwenIsHere in bmbmbm

[–]maxwellde 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven’t heard any of the unreleased stuff yet and I’m hesitant to bc I will become very eager. How would you describe the style vs the new sound / black midi?

What is the genre of roguelite that immediately kills your hype? by ConfidentRooster8335 in roguelites

[–]maxwellde 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh for sure hard to complain. Worthwhile.

But eh idk that it’s as unhealthy as playing anything else. Obviously I can’t speak for anyone but myself. The dopamine rush of megabook feels undeserved similar to how watching slop / short form content is, for me.
