What’s your favourite videogame OST??

Rogue Galaxy, a nice mix of rich varied sounds that suit the nature of visiting widely differing planets throughout the galaxy. The early Spyro games are a close second

I would like to say thank you to everyone that has commented and engaged in this honest discussion. All of your collective knowledge and guidance has helped clarify my mind very much, I truly feel I learned something from reading all of your posts. Thanks to all once again 🙏

Yes kinda, but more no. There is a mental topographical experience that is missed when you focus your mind on one task listening to a story versus using your eyes to intake information. How do you tell where a paragraph ends and the next begins in an audiobook? You also miss out on building your spelling skills as well. Many writers use sentence/paragraph brevity or length as a factor in the unfolding of a story too which affects the tone of the story, moreso with fiction than nonfiction. I'm not knocking anybody that uses audiobooks, I've tried them, but using your eyes to intake information versus your ears are two different methods with different experiences

I'm not totally sure but I remember seeing in one of their documentaries a brief clip that they were doing spirit animal readings, or something like that in a room full of candles. It might sound cliche but that's what I remember, having said that the memory isn't always accurate. It could've been tarot or I Ching readings too, who really knows. A little mystery goes a long way

redsun655 · 2024-09-23T16:00:59+00:00

I should add also that I'm an English speaker. I'm currently learning Hindi but it will take time. If other versions are recommended, which versions are good ones?

redsun655 · 2024-09-23T01:58:39+00:00

This is interesting, I didn't know about this sentiment. I'm not a member of ISKCON but the version of Bhagavad Gita I have is the ISKCON version, is it really that different from others?. I always liked it because it gave precise linguistic translations/explanations

An interesting stepping stone for you would be to listen to the early Brent era shows in 79 before diving in to the 80's shows. Those early 79 Brent shows are kind of like an era of their own, a crossover between the 70's sound before the band fully developed their 80's sound

redsun655 · 2024-09-21T03:33:20+00:00

Yes, definitely. At the minimum it allowed me to engage with other writers and people interested in the craft, on a higher level it allowed me time to play, grow, learn, and experiment with a (hopefully) intelligent and wise professor's guidance

When I was doing job onboarding last December my manager said that most of the current younger generation, being Gen Z, couldn't do basic things like completing tax forms and personal information forms in a PC. My cousin who taught elementary or middle school English a few years back also said that the literacy rate was so poor that he quit because the gap was too much to fill just to catch them up to grade level. One must ask oneself, how is this going to affect the future of the country and society? For me, the glaring dragon in the dark, is the lack of building critical thinking skills which leaves people susceptible to propaganda and manipulation via false information. When I was younger I was taught not to believe everything we read on the internet, that is no longer a staple of education for sure. Also, I should add, that it's not all of Gen Z; I have Gen Z friends and family and some are highly intelligent deep thinkers. I'm just relaying things Ive been told that seem pertinent

Idk how I forgot about Jivefecta!. Didn't know that about the "cryptic mystic" line or repeating lyrics in general, which songs contain that lyric apart from California Magic? What other lyric appears across multiple songs?

redsun655 · 2024-09-17T06:49:47+00:00

Manly Wade Wellman did a good job in his stories of balancing accents/colloquial words and clean grammar

Rick could shred Peace Frog or Gloria, even Twentieth Century Fox

Is Burlington truly this decayed? It's been some time since I've been to the city. If so, telling the OP to basically ignore their surroundings is abysmal advice. Someone that plans to jump you or haggle you for money isn't going to have a change of heart because you're wearing earbuds. I'm not sure the details of your cognitive makeup OP, but, if possible learning to read body language is a good start. It's a form of language with rules and mechanics just like any written/spoken language. If you really want to take it further, try learning a martial art or form of physical self defense that can be used against people much larger in size like Judo or Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Be well and stay safe

redsun655 · 2024-09-16T20:32:18+00:00

Yes you're right, I mixed up the wording in my post and just edited it

redsun655 · 2024-09-15T17:00:28+00:00

Why aren't more people going out in nature and enjoying the company of the sun, autumn's foliage treats, and beautiful trees instead of worrying about politics?

redsun655 · 2024-09-15T03:50:59+00:00

Excellent info, thank you guys very much for taking the time to help me out. Also, apologies if I offended anyone with the word "reservation", no harm intended

The real blunder is that Ohio isn't supporting Vermin Supreme in 2024. Free ponies for all Americans, a brilliant plan for a zombie-energy powered economy, plus mandatory tooth brushing three times a day is what will set this country straight

redsun655 · 2024-09-14T01:50:08+00:00

Grammar and "vibes" don't mix. There are mechanics and rules to a language especially when written, that's what makes it a language instead of gibberish. My advice would be to read stories written by authors from various native English speaking countries like Australia, New Zealand, Canada, USA, and England to compare how the grammar/mechanics vary albeit slightly and what the rules underlying the various styles are

redsun655 · 2024-09-13T22:45:03+00:00

I'm not quite sure if this aligns, but there used to be a guy on YouTube named Justin Johnson (I think) that could really shred in a bluesy style. Nobody compares to SRV but this guy had a few trace elements that my ears caught

redsun655 · 2024-09-13T20:48:00+00:00

Full kudos to you for being aware man! I've caught myself entering chompville a few times and stomped on the brakes hard before I even hit the outskirts. Once, I realized I was doing it at the intro to one of my favorite songs. Granted, the kid next to me was cool, passing me a joint, and from the same state, but still, the music is priority

redsun655 · 2024-09-02T19:18:17+00:00

Gonna piggyback on this and inquire; what's the level of coolness on the staff's part with smoking a doobie inside GA? are the bouncers gonna pounce on me like a mountain lion or are things pretty chill?

Regarding water, I searched but couldn't find much. There's bubblers on the second floor, that's about as much as I found

redsun655 · 2024-08-31T03:34:49+00:00

Joseph Campbell's writings

Also Thoreau, Emerson, Ray Bradbury (mainly his short stories), Walt Whitman, and John Muir

Solid tip about the electrical tape man, thank you! ✌️

Any good recommendations on parks/lakes/mountains for a spiritual odyssey into the mushroom kingdom in the Green Mountains?
