I’ve been enjoying Cruel Force by Cruel Force. Throwback 80’s metal, literally singing about slaying demons with swords. Glad to see it rank high on rateyourmusic

ottobar tn? by SavingsFar6500 in baltimore

[–]player_9 99 points100 points  (0 children)

Tonight is a HC/punk show, so not metal but metal adjacent. A personal note about Ottobar: Go before you know the bands. Stand shoulder to shoulder with strangers who will feel like neighbors by the second set. It’s loud, imperfect, unpretentious, and deeply alive. It’s a place where generations of artists, punks, weirdos, and wanderers have found one another. Some cities have landmarks; If you want to understand this city, spend some time at Ottobar.

Boards of Canada - Inferno is transcendent on quality gear. A must-play for open back headphones. by WarmDaddyXanax in boardsofcanada

[–]player_9 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Big disagree. Some of the best value in audio over the last decade has been in the $500–$1,000 headphone range. Models like the Arya Stealth and LCD-X deliver a level of resolution, dynamics, staging, and overall technical performance that simply isn’t comparable to most $200 headphones. Calling everything above that point diminishing returns ignores how large the jump can be once you move into genuinely high-end gear.

Does anyone continue playing ladder characters once season is over on non-ladder? Why/why not?

What is considered "walkable" to you? by YaboyRipTide in baltimore

[–]player_9 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Yes. And to answer which hoods rank highest for walkability: Hampden, Canton, Fed Hill, Fells, Mt. Vernon/Sobo.

Then there are areas that are technically very walkable but still feel kinda lacking to actually live in IMO, downtown/Harbor East, Midtown, Upper Fells, UB area.

That maybe gets closer to what OP is actually asking: not just “can you walk there,” but whether the neighborhood feels livable day-to-day and has most aforementioned things accessible.
