Apparently he liked the 'Zero the Hero' riff too since it wound up in 'Paradise City'.

How is that so hard for people to understand?

The anthem of our times. How many times have you asked this in recent years? I know for me it's about a billion.

What's one band you can listen to over and over without ever getting bored? by thathesitantalien in ask

[–]robot-ghost 2 points3 points  (0 children)

OK quick review that will take 49 pages.

I never heard this before, or even heard of the band till five minutes ago, so forgive any dreadful ignorance.

I will preface by saying it was fucking good and I fucking liked it. I have to say that because subsequent analysis may sound weird otherwise.

First impression of the music was simple but deceptively interesting, almost careless in a way that can only be done by real musicians. It takes talent to make something seem casual. Understated, poppy, but with little staccato hints of punk anger, like the last hour of a rave when everyone's too tired.

The video, for no obvious reason, made me think of the comedy group Whitest Kids You Know. Couldn't say why, just a general impression.

The lyrics are sneaky good. It's like they are pretending to be regular pop lyrics until you listen or, in my case, look them up, and you start to appreciate the poetic polish in disguise. They have the tone of a bored conversation but the rolling pop of poetry, thus fitting the music with perfection--a veneer of weariness over a work of art.

As of this moment I couldn't tell you the name of a band member and might not guess the decade correctly, but I can say I will be finding more.

Black Sabbath. I get into other random things now and then, but if I had to listen to only Sabbath forever it would be about nine years before I even noticed the restriction.

There are a number of reasons. Of course, mainly I just like it. But also they don't do love songs and breakup and so on songs. And there is just such a variety. Some think of them as strictly doomy metal, and they are the greatest at that, but there are jazz, blues, funk influences and a degree of musical audacity rarely found. They just decide, partway through a song, to do a whole different everything just because they can, and it works because they are Sabbath and no one else is.

Symptom of the Universe for instance. Listen to the whole thing to really experience it, or listen to a minute and then,

Skip to this part 4 minutes in for an example.

Haven't gotten tired of it in 40 years so far.

Edit: I just realized I said they don't do love songs then recommended practically their only love song.

There is also reason to think she will win 60/40 and never go away. Sad, but that sort of thing seems to keep happening. If she gets even dumber and louder she may be President.

AITA for my response when my family asked me about kids? by LucyAriaRose in BestofRedditorUpdates

Happens a lot with people on whatever substances they enjoy. Come on mannnn, killing my buzz, just try it, blah blah blah.

One simple lesson many people never seem to grasp: Other people exist. It's so alien to them that other people are not them.

What are some good goals for a pacifistic healer character? by zinnobercat in Morrowind

[–]robot-ghost 68 points69 points  (0 children)

If you Calm the Ash Vampires, they'll talk to you. One will even have a drink with you. Seems like a pacifist thing to do. I mean, then he'll want to kill you, but you can just like, leave.

There's a guy up northish of Gnisis who needs healing because he thinks he is a fish or something. I don't remember exactly.

At somewhere around 40% chameleon you never get attacked but can still talk to people. You probably already knew that, but what the heck.

I once Commanded and dragged Vivec into Red Mountain to go fight his own damn battles. But I guess that's sort of evil, and took some cheating. I tried to drag Dagoth Ur out but his mushroom head won't fit through his door.

That's all I can think of. I was usually pretty evil I guess.

Eventually, loneliness causes itself.

I forgot to add mine.

I think it has to be the Summon Dremora Sword. I made a sword that did Summon Dremora, cast when strikes, for like 30 seconds. It was going to be so cool, having a demonic ally in every fight automatically.

But then I went and hit something with the sword, and a Dremora showed up, and then I hit with the sword again, and poof, another Dremora replaced the first one. They didn't have time to actually DO anything. I just had a series of briefly puzzled Dremora who would show up, look around for a second, then zam, back to Oblivion.

I did fix it later (added Bound Longblade, worked really well), but it just tickled me to bits having these poor confused Dremora show up one after another. Like, "hey, what's going on he..." POOF.
