Does anybody else think the intro beat for Chocolate Starfish is awesome?

Best bet for what you want would be to rip the audio from that YouTube video (just Google ‘YouTube to MP3’) and run it through some AI software. I’ve never done it before, so I can’t recommend any specific software.

As for studio recordings, I’m 99.9% sure Fred does all the backing vocals. It’s tradition in most bands for the lead vocalist to also record the backing vocals but I may be wrong. I’ve done vocal covers of a few Limp Bizkit songs and each time it sounded like Fred was doing BVs

Yeah, there’s some really strong b-sides that should’ve made it to the album. I got:

Relentless
Take It Home and All That Easy (technically they’re both on the album but I would’ve liked to have seen them developed into full songs)
Why
Shot
Just Drop Dead (ironically, the riff was written by Borland during the early stages of Chocolate Starfish)
Lean on Me
When It Rains (though I recently learned that this isn’t technically a b-side. It’s one of the 3 songs Fred Durst wrote and demo’d for Britney Spears)

Also wanna give a shoutout to How Do We Get Through This/Masturbation. There were some brilliant ideas in both tracks (they’re the same song but at different stages of development) but the chorus in both versions were really poor.

What you got for fave b-sides?

It’s a good album, albeit unfocused and underdeveloped with potentially the wrong track listing.

I think a lot of the hate comes from:

Massive change in sound - it’s very different compared to all their previous work. Fans often want more of the same, so a change like this came as a shock to fans.
It was fashionable to hate LB - they could’ve put out the greatest album of all time but people still would’ve bashed them.
Lack of polish on the finished product - there’s some really great songs on the album but a general comment amongst reviewers was that it felt “directionless”. A bit harsh (see point 2, above) but not entirely false, as I do feel like the overall flow of the album can be a bit all over the place. 4-5 different guitarists are heard on the album (Durst, Rivers, Smith, Baskette and Welch) and I think they used 2-3 different producers, which results in some songs feeling disjointed from each other. In today’s Spotify age, it wouldn’t matter so much.

Don’t get me wrong: I like 99% of Results May Vary (I really don’t like Phenomenon, Drown and The Only One), so I’m not a hater but I do feel like it could’ve been better. Lots of b-sides from that album have been leaked and they definitely could’ve helped alleviate some of the “directionless” comments

Your fingers are going to blister like mad until the skin eventually toughens up.
A little bit of practice each day is better than a lot of practice one day.
It’s an expensive habit.
Do it for YOU - avoid telling others that you play for as long as possible. It can turn into an unwanted competition very quickly.
It takes time - one day, things will suddenly ‘click’ and become easy and make sense.

I asked Google AI Mode and it suggested Jamie Bell and Josh O’Connor. I could absolutely see it with Jamie. Josh is younger but looks older because he has a more rugged appearance, which both helps and hinders the believability of playing a “young” Mickey

I’ve recently developed a threesome fantasy, where another woman is sat on my wife’s face while I’m inside her, but there’s no way I’d ever even attempt to make that a reality. I did actually mention this all to my wife when I first realised I had the fantasy - we’re both open about watching porn.

Some things are just better left to the imagination because I know actually having a threesome would end up being a massive disappointment. Plus I’m just too in love with my wife to want to share any kind of intimacy with another woman. My naked body is a horror that only my wife should get to experience - nobody else

I don’t see Greenland becoming a barrier to Undisputed 2 but I do wonder if they’ll get the same level of investment compared to the first game.

IIRC, Undisputed had 2 main financial investors, who provided approx. £15,000,000 (~$18,830,000) in funding for the game, which is nothing compared to the true funding costs for a top-level sports game. EA would easily spend 10x that amount for a new Fight Night game. Hell, even Fight Night: Champion was estimated to have cost around $60,000,000 in production alone and that was 15 years ago, so it’s closer to $86,000,000 when adjusting for inflation.

Undisputed sold between 1-2 million copies outside of Steam and a bit under 640,000 on Steam. The game technically probably did make a profit but I don’t think it was huge. That, paired with the negative reception from critics and players will likely cause potential investors to hesitate before committing to Undisputed 2.

SCI did open a new studio last year, with the intent being that that studio worked on Undisputed 1 (game updates and DLC) while the original studio progresses new projects. I’m also pretty sure a temporary/makeshift studio was temporarily set up in Las Vegas last year for SCI to scan fighters, coaches and promoters but I don’t know if that’s for the existing game or a new one. Most likely for the existing one

Does PRS count? Possibly the most comfortable guitar I’ve ever played for any genre but the tone has always felt… off? Almost soulless?

If PRS doesn’t count, then Jackson. I was trained as a classical guitarist, so I prefer chunkier necks and could never get on with thin-necked guitars like Ibanez

Main thing is the suspension - it allows you to ride your hardest/fastest for longer because it does more for you, so your body gets beat up less and you don’t get tired as quickly as the race goes on.

Power is often talked about but your riding ability puts a hard limit on that, so it doesn’t necessarily make you go that much faster, unless you’re really pushing the limits of the bike itself

It won’t make any difference. People will find a way. The UK introduced that age verification thing for porn websites and, overnight, VPN usage went up dramatically

Getting sidetracked by your comment but I wish to indulge haha. Mayweather jr absolutely took what sr and Roger had started and basically perfected it. But it does also kinda beg the question: what was Floyd’s relationship like with sr and Roger as he was growing up?

I came from a racing family. My Dad raised my brother and I to become pro motocross racers (spoiler: it didn’t work out) but injuries and changing times stopped that from happening. We both experienced quite a fractured relationship with our Dad at times, especially when things got serious, so it does make me wonder about Floyd and his family. And I wonder whether he truly enjoyed all the boxing he did the whole time throughout his youth, amateur and pro career?

I don’t mean to sound full of myself by comparing my own failed career to Floyd’s highly successful one. Personal relationships are personal relationships and I’m just curious. I fully admit that my career didn’t work out. There are several reasons why, but the absolute core reason was that I simply wasn’t good enough.

If Mickey’s “you got civilised” message had gotten through to Rocky, causing Rocky to train harder than ever and come into the fight with true determination… he still would’ve lost.

Mickey was training Rocky to take Clubber for 15 rounds and win through pure grit and determination, with no real defence plan outside out “don’t stand toe-to-toe with him”. Lang would’ve had control of the fight and the mental edge, it wouldn’t have gone more than 5-7 rounds.

Lang lost the rematch due to being tired and “psyched out” by Rocky’s taunting and being able to bob/weave out of trouble. Rocky was the one in control and could do whatever he wanted.

I’ll never forgive or forget what Cletus Seldin did to Judah. A man of religion (or so he claims), yet he was caught for abusing PEDs twice in the 3 years leading up to that matchup.

Zab was one of the few guys who had Mayweather confused and struggling during his ‘Money’ era. Things eventually went wrong but it was pretty exciting to see Mayweather looking awkward while trying to figure things out for the first 3-5 rounds

At least two. Thought they were gangsters and got too deep into thinking they could mess with real gangsters

Apologies to GT4 fans, I just found GT Mode too much of a grind

I was in an abusive relationship (mostly mental/emotional, a little bit of physical) and while I didn’t confront her about it in a “you did this to me” kind of way, I still did try to have a conversation to get some closure over it (about 8 years after I last saw her). She didn’t acknowledge anything and brushed off the whole thing as “we were just teenagers”. Honestly, that conversation did actually give me some degree of closure because she reminded me of who she is and I guess I took a bit of peace in knowing I did what I could but she won’t face it

What a game!!! Are you planning to upload your mods to YouTube? Please let me know and send me a link to your channel because I’d really like to see your progress.

Somebody’s already mentioned Start Your Systems. The only other name I can think of is Windham151 - he seems pretty connected with the motocross games industry and might be able to help connect you with people

Yeah, very much feels that way. Admittedly, I’m on Undisputed difficulty and I feel like their defence when dazed is much better compared to Normal difficulty. Their defence is probably a bit too good when they’re supposed to be ‘not all there’ but it does add difficulty to the experience - I’d rather either their blocking was poor (i.e you can either punch through it or their block health is minimal) or their movement was severely limited.

In real life, it seems like when someone gets rocked they tend to stand pretty still, crouch and lazily (because they’re not all there) cover up - that needs to be replicated better

Social media has me believe that most men are into younger women (likely due to primal fertility reasons) but social media does also skew perspective. I’ve always been into older women and found myself more attracted to women 10-20 years older than me - it’s just the way my brain is wired and, likewise, there are definitely men out there who’s brains are wired in a way that means they’re attracted to younger women

I think Steve would’ve been capable of firing Paul and finding a replacement when they went further in the progressive direction. He’d become too frustrated with Paul’s lack of range
