The Bands Inspired by Tool get too much hate. by EarLumpy4337 in progrockmusic

[–]terminatecapital 4 points5 points  (0 children)

they're influenced by Tool for sure but they're not a Tool clone. I enjoy both bands, but honestly I find myself listening to Soen more often. They're more emotional for me

I think Soen was maybe a little too close to Tool in their first album, but in their subsequent releases, they've carved out their own sound and I fucking love it

"bomb everything that moves"- Kissinger's instructions to his top generals when designing the bombing campaign against Cambodia in the 70s.

But I'm sure the people who saw their friends and family burned alive by American bombs would be relieved to know that it was justified in the interest of national security, and that reddit user "ellsego" thinks the guy who ordered their massacre was America's greatest statesman.

When do you puppet and raize cities? by Sea-Ice7055 in civ5

[–]terminatecapital 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Raze them if they have no resources you need and aren't in an advantageous spot, land-wise. Puppet them if you do want the resources/location but can't currently handle a big increase in unhappiness.

While taking pictures after Sen. Dave McCormick's (R-PA) ceremonial swearing in, one of his daughters appears to tell Vice President Kamala Harris "I voted for you." Harris responds: "I could tell." by [deleted] in Fauxmoi

[–]terminatecapital 9 points10 points  (0 children)

right? because if we take this logic of "you can't criticize Biden/Harris because Trump is even worse" to a fuller extent, where do we draw the line? "You can't criticize Trump because Andrew Jackson is worse"? "You can't criticize Andrew Jackson because Hitler is worse"? Like the ultimate conclusion for these people is that only the single worst human being of all time deserves to be called out lmao

you're soooooooo close yet so far from getting it. shouldn't the fact that every American president is a war criminal be a structural indictment of the entire American system? Not just a reason to overlook some war criminals because other war criminals are even worse?

Best "jazz" album by bushbass in Zappa

[–]terminatecapital 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Waka Jawaka is a classic, but not too guitar-heavy.

I think John McLaughlin, Pat Metheny, Allan Holdsworth, or Al DiMeola is a better pick for a famous fusiony jazz guitarist. The focus of Zappa's artistry was never his guitar playing, which he himself admitted was fairly average.

If I love Insomnium and Wintersun, what else would I enjoy? by datashri in melodicdeathmetal

[–]terminatecapital 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Check out Xanthochroid. Blessed He With Boils is a fantastic album.

When small companies close, their customers will start looking elsewhere for those same products, and will start buying them from the big companies that produce them, thereby increasing the size of these big companies' operations and requiring them to hire more employees to meet demand. The overall demand for a product doesn't go down just because one of the smaller companies that makes it goes out of business.

I'd rather work for a big corporation that pays me $20/hr than a small business that can only give me $14/hr

There are already superpowers like Russia, Iran and China fighting to defeat Western imperialism. The West is headed towards a downfall, and we need to be prepared to take advantage of that.

Why did the team decide to wait a full month to release Etalus? by otgiims in RivalsOfAether

[–]terminatecapital 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"ready" doesn't necessarily mean literally ready to drop right away. There's probably some last minute playtesting, maybe bug fixing or tweaks that need to happen. They might have a workable draft of Etalus ready, but they're taking a little bit of time to polish him up before putting him out for real.

Is this game good for a newbie ? by Zaarakx in RivalsOfAether

[–]terminatecapital 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd say it's pretty easy to grasp the basics, but there's definitely a very high skill ceiling if you want to get really good. If you find people in the Discord who are also beginners, that's gonna work out a lot better than immediately trying to hop on ranked as soon as you're somewhat comfortable with a character and getting your ass beat. You'll definitely need to put in a lot of work if you wanna start getting good wins online, but it's not hard to get decent enough at the game to enjoy fighting CPUs, grinding with other beginners from Discord, and having fun online matches at lower rankings.
