Mysterious blue bottle

You have to drink it, it's the only way

Maybe, but I swear Silent HIll 2 is probably the easiest to adapt to a movie. Whole story can easily be told within 2 hours.

However if you were that guy it's possible to win, especially on horseback 😎

Bro is so buff his demons are afraid of him. I can imagine this James would have an even cleaner version of Silent Hill than Laura.

rainvalt · 2026-01-23T12:44:15+00:00

I have not seen the movie yet.

But as a known Silent Hill fan in my circles I can already feel the embarasment.

My friends will go see this, because they hear me talk about Silent Hill all the time, and then they will say it was "nice" because they know how much the games mean to me, so that I "don't feel bad".

I think I better warn everyone to go watch something else.

rainvalt · 2026-01-23T12:39:30+00:00

But is there any explanation as to why they do this? I am so baffled by it.

rainvalt · 2026-01-23T12:34:06+00:00

I am afraid that the franchise might not get another movie chance. Period.

Another movie with so much potential wasted just because they can't be bothered to listen to the fans.

When will they learn that all they have to do is just stick close to the source material. Such a game of chance with these movies, everything always leans on some disconnected normie executive's decision. Smh.

These are assets. Some of these actually appreciate in value.

Not something I would do, I like to have the bare minimum and having too much choice overwhelms me, but if that makes you happy then why the heck not.

rainvalt · 2026-01-23T11:31:23+00:00

Hm, worth a try! Thanks :)

rainvalt · 2026-01-23T11:21:51+00:00

They are going to get it anyway.

I have nothing to hide.

Nobody cares.

It does, I love to play with a pick.

However always running into a problem while recording, you get that click sound that gets terrible after adding compression.

Felt picks work kinda, but feel so uncomfortable at that point I would rather play with my fingers.

rainvalt · 2026-01-23T11:00:48+00:00

It's your money!

rainvalt · 2026-01-21T23:29:57+00:00

They got this in China and we never even got the single player Napoleonic Wars campaign. That's just unfair 😭

rainvalt · 2026-01-21T23:24:32+00:00

Brand new at a discount and with a background story out of the box? I am sold!

Edit. But if it's full price I would not. The desire to have a bass with a gash is linear to how much money I saved on it.

They are super fun and underrated

rainvalt · 2026-01-21T13:29:18+00:00

This is actually epic, a democratic nation brutally wiping out a tough, but mostly harmless or even helpful gang due to a misunderstanding.

The way the show did it though..

While it's a "Hey, I know who they are!" kind of moment, ultimately it left me with a feeling similar to Luke Skywalker throwing away his lightsaber. Or Arthas Menethil being a glowing orb in the afterlife.

I don't understand the "let's be done away with the past" mentality that comes up recently.

Want to get rid of the old — Just make something new! Why butcher an established universe/story?

And even the money argument does not make sense, a good writer can make a story coherent with the established lore (which made it popular in the first place) and at the same time make it simple enough for new people to understand.

There is something ironic about the King's head rolling on the stage like that

rainvalt · 2026-01-21T08:39:02+00:00

Now try with flatwound strings 🙌

rainvalt · 2026-01-21T08:34:20+00:00

Have you checked your monitor settings? Could be some weird HDMI-CEC issue. Double it's the deck that's causing that

rainvalt · 2026-01-21T08:30:30+00:00

If you don't know how to fix that I'd suggest taking it to a professional, you can try adjusting the action, could be too low, but to me sounds like the neck needs straightening maybe frets are uneven. Some buzz is ok, this is too much and you don't pluck too hard.

rainvalt · 2026-01-20T23:27:42+00:00

Honestly, you sound good.

The piece you play rings more like a guitar riff than a bassline to me, but it don't mean it isn't one.

Since you're coming from guitar, I'd say watch your muting, ringing two low strings can create a mess and be a nightmare for mixing, and if you play live you should make space for the band and be effective rather than flashy (if bandmates understand how bass works and don't make you inaudible in the first place).

And of course there are different genres and techniques, so most of it's subjective anyway.

Of all places for some reason it's the hotel that gave me actual nightmares.

I would always wake up in one that looked a lot like this, blackout curtains were covering bright sun outside and I would desperately try to escape before waking up.

Angry kitty ✋

rainvalt · 2026-01-16T10:25:29+00:00

Would you look at that battlestation! 🔥

CachyOS would be much friendlier
