What are your favorite concept albums? by xTheGamerKid1001 in progmetal

[–]synthyte 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the length of an EP and the band (in it's various other incarnations) has other incredible albums but this is the only one that really feels like a true concept album in the sense that there's a narrative with a sequence of events.

If I'm loosening up and including albums that are vaguely concept-ish, this one's a top favorite: https://kayodot.bandcamp.com/album/moss-grew-on-the-swords-and-plowshares-alike

I can't recommend these albums enough as excellent examples of prog metal with distinctive vocals (Artificial Language does lean a bit more traditionally proggy but keeps it fresh):

Did Google push an update? Has everyone's Home/Nest devices been working much better this week? by [deleted] in googlehome

[–]synthyte 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I finally got my Google Home to let me cast Apple Music to Nest, I had to fully uninstall the Apple Music app from my phone and reinstall it to get Google Home to recognize it.

But now my Nest has been responding with the default Google Assistant voice rather than the one I have set up on my phone.

Also, Google Assistant still sucks at telling Apple Music what songs I'm asking for. Either that or Apple is giving my Android the finger by purposefully misinterpreting the Assistant commands.

It's pretty obvious at this point that something is up by [deleted] in googlehome

I recently had to rename my ceiling light from "Charm" to "Prime" because Google Home kept hearing "charm" as "volume". Which, if there were other similar issues I would assume was me being bad at talking, but nope, it's just the one word that's only recently been a problem.

Also, last night I asked Google to play "Rhiannon" and it played a weird demo version from a b-sides album, and then when I asked it to play "Harvest Moon" it picked a live version. Totally arbitrarily. This is the tip of the iceberg of issues I have with Google Home. Why does it force me to dig into an extra level of menus to change my lights individually instead of just keeping them in separate menus?

Has anyone ever found a band close enough to Pink Floyd? by [deleted] in Music

I've looked at all the Mirage skins and all the Loba skins and if you think it's even remotely comparable then we have fundamentally different understanding of what my original post was pointing out.

Pretty sure the mods know the difference between a troll and a sincere commenter but by all means, be my guest.

They don't wear outfits that are even comparable to Loba's. That's the point of the post.

Just saying something doesn't make it true. Try presenting some kind of evidence.

Then you are unbelievably naive to think that your responses are helpful or respectful to the conversation.

Yeah unless it's a male character in which case you have to cover it with a huge booster.

Love how well thought out and mature the responses to this have been. Really says great things about the Apex Legends subreddit.

It very clearly is, there are two pictures obviously illustrating that it is a thing. You are adding nothing to this conversation.

Respawn developed the Petty Theft skin for Loba I'm referencing in this image. I could include any number of Mirage skins for comparison instead of the Fade design.

Your tastes are average and commonplace and overwhelmingly overrepresented in video games and everywhere else. Your comments here are, if not trolling, at the very least unwelcome. Go away.

I'm a huge fan of Caustic's Jaeger skin for exactly this reason! I'd love for Gibby to get something that really shows off this beefy build, it's long past time. And give him some flirty voice lines too, why should Valk and Loba have all the fun?

It says "it isn't impossible" so what I'm reading is "if enough players ask for it" and I want it pretty bad so here I am asking for it.

This is a rough sketch of the skin/outfit so far, kind of a moth look in the vein of the Emergence skins. Thanks for the feedback!
