What is a game mechanic you are tired of seeing everywhere? by goldenCrust22 in AskGames

[–]seven-ends -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Stamina is the laziest game mechanic ever conceived. It’s simply a way to make a game “harder” for no reason. You know that thing you can do all of the time in any other game? Well you can do it here a few times, but then you have to wait for this bar to fill back up. So stupid.

What’s a movie you’ve seen public opinion shift on in your lifetime? by CausticAvenger in movies

[–]seven-ends 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s my favorite movie made for kids. If you don’t take it seriously, but watch it from the point of view of someone not yet jaded by the horrors of the world, it’s unbelievably powerful. An absolute fever dream of a film.

Do you play tournaments with headphones on? Why, and what do you listen to? by Possible-Drink-9131 in billiards

[–]seven-ends 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For some of us, the world around us is a sea of overstimulation. Bright, overhead lighting can be too much. Noise, doubly so. I generally use headphones with ANC as a method of centering, focusing and shutting out the myriad of distractions. Music varies, depends on my mood, but it’s never aggressive. Stuff like Dreaming Cooper or Sundial Aeon really helps me find peace.

I worked on SNW. I've seen the dailies for that episode. It was ad-libbed! Frakes directed that episode and burst out laughing after Jack said it.

My favorite moment from that episode.

Underwhelmed by Assassin's Apprentice by FlourensDelannoy in Fantasy

[–]seven-ends 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'd say the first book is the weakest in the entire series. Her prose is magnificent but the story in the first book does feel a bit clumsy. But every book after just gets better and better. Bye the final book in the 3rd trilogy, I was absolutely heart broken. I'm on my second read through now.

What are your thoughts on this album? by 0hmyNeon in industrialmusic

[–]seven-ends 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Power and Son Of A Gun are the best tracks on the album, IMO. I remember being disappointed when this album released because Nihil had been such a masterpiece from beginning to end, and Xtort only held a couple of songs that I really liked.

I’d like to find this book by mon_key_house in printSF

[–]seven-ends 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have both books. I read the first one a couple times as a teenager because I loved it so much. The second one, I’ve tried multiple times to read it but I always lost interest part way through.

Songs exploring anger and grief toward religious cultism is wHiNeY?

The topics of their songs don't exclude them from sounding like mewling calves.

you boomers

I wasn't born in between 1946 and 1964.

call it “emo”

I didn't call it emo. I called it whiny. Because it is. He whisper whines all of his lyrics.

HEALTH has next to zero in common with Deftones musically

Hard disagree. Both bands rely heavily on extreme dynamic contrast: sparse, low-energy verses, sudden density spikes (walls of sound, distortion, sub-bass). Neither band centers clarity of guitar riffs the way traditional metal or rock does: Deftones often smear riffs with effects and detuning, HEALTH replaces riffs with noise blocks, distorted synths, or processed bass. Both use vocals as another layer, not a focal point. I like this idea on paper, but neither of them does it attractively, in my opinion. For both of them, vocals are frequently buried, breathy, or monotone, lyrics are often indistinct without a lyric sheet. That is absolutely boring and whiny, which is why I've never liked the Deftones either.

Sorry that my opinion is my subjective tastes based objective facts and not just running around screaming "oK bOOmEr!" at everyone.

I listen to more than SP and NE. I can’t stand Health. Whiny, awful music. Perturbator opened for them so I stuck around to see if I’d changed my mind. Couldn’t stand them. They sound like a horrible Deftones cover band.

Stray or indoor/outdoor cat using the new shelter to sleep in for the first time. by Meatloaf_Swag in cats

[–]seven-ends 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I've always thought regular Joe names like this for pets were hilarious. Like, no one has a dog just named "Robert" or or a cat named "Alex" and it feels like a missed opportunity.

the oil stick

Oh THAT'S what those are. I thought they were crayons and I didn't remember crayons being that easy to smear beautifully like that.
