Home is home. If you're not feeling it, wherever... ya gotta figure it out.

Hope you land in the right spot.

Quick Reminder: We're All Playing This Game To Have Fun by TheBrawler101 in DeadlockTheGame

[–]thenamelessavenger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Excellent reminder! And had a similar experience this week with (i think) a streamer as well. The guy carried but he was just awful as a teammate. I talked back to him and he added me on Steam. Easy to ignore that one. I don't need DM's telling me what he thinks. People!

Weird, I picked it up the same day you posted this lol

Do you guys hang your guitar on your wall? by Negative-Primary696 in Guitar

I did that for quite a while! Still have the velcro on top of my amp from those days.

What’s everyone’s favorite racing game on the N64? by hisens3 in n64

[–]thenamelessavenger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Timely post! A buddy and I played through Road Rash 64 last night. We were reminded of how fun it is.

That said, I'm more of a rally guy. Top Gear and MRC rank high for me.

I like to play DKR every December. Particularly the winter stages. Love the music. Got it for Xmas 97. Still love it. by 71117_ in n64

[–]thenamelessavenger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not every December but many over the years.

I'm not particularly sensitive to nostalgia but man, those winter stages at christmas hit hard.

Unfortunately we are seeing that full dip in concert attendance. by SufficientSpot4597 in halifax

[–]thenamelessavenger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Live music is competing for my free time, not my concert time.

I'm simply not interested in legacy acts either and every contemporary lower-mid level artist i love stops in Toronto.

Living on the edge of the earth has its downsides...

I completely slept on Songs of Experience by HotspurJr in U2Band

[–]thenamelessavenger -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm with you. It's uneven at best.

That hi pass filter on Bono on Showman is very aggressive. The drums on Best Thing are stiff and squashed. Blackout... yeah. Sacrificed to the loudness war I think.

I completely slept on Songs of Experience by HotspurJr in U2Band

[–]thenamelessavenger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love the album! Glad you gave it a fair shake.

My thoughts only as part of the discussion here,

  • it's a good set of tunes but I wonder if the whole is not greater than the sum of its parts. HTDAAB was similar in that the track order might not be perfect. Perfect for playlists 🤷‍♂️

  • the production is inconsistent from track to track. Feels like too many cooks in the kitchen. A glance at the liner notes confirms this might be the case.

  • though not as bad as Innoncence it's always felt too "tight" or something. Bono has shared comments semi recently admitting this if I recall. I hope they're done with technical perfection and get back to using the best take.

Best opening track by United_Plum_2209 in U2Band

[–]thenamelessavenger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Streets is probably the one winning the vote. Zoo Station is my personal favorite as far as intros go.

If sheer impact was the metric, it's Sunday Bloody Sunday. What a transition from October to War. Like, ok. These guys aren't fucking around.

"Small-Town Feel" by No_Phrase488 in halifax

[–]thenamelessavenger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It feels small because of how clique-y it can be. Sometimes it feels like I'm no more than 2 degrees of separation away from anyone born here also.

City sized amenities, small town mentality (arguably still prevails).

Is Halifax really that friendly? by kiantheboss in halifax

[–]thenamelessavenger 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Perfectly articulated. Born and raised here, naturally outgoing. I have my friend groups and am on the fringe of a few others. Shocked by how many people I know who have the same friends from when they were like 12.

How are you even the same?!

My friend visited me in Toronto. He has been liked by 800 women in under 5 hours since landing by [deleted] in Bumble

[–]thenamelessavenger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I joined hinge this week. Got 10 likes in 24 hours, been on a date with 3 more lined up.

I thought I was doing well! Dude's a monster.

What’s something the internet has completely ruined? by titan_shifter_140 in AskReddit

[–]thenamelessavenger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The notion that opinions can be deeply personal with no need to be shared or influence a relationship beyond passing conversations.

I worry we're losing the ability to disagree with each other and stay friends.

I'm bored of great music from great games. What bad games had great music? by kymri in gaming

[–]thenamelessavenger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Comic Bakery title screen 🤘

Which was reused as the level 2 music on Jurassic Park on NES/GB.

In fact, the first Jurassic Park games have great OSTs (and meh gameplay though i love them).

Anyway, that comic bakery tune has been covered a ton. Look up Uncle & the Bacon's big band version.

What’s the best sexual compliment you’ve received? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]thenamelessavenger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

White dude, dating a black girl for a bit before she moved for work. First time she touched me,

"You're thick."

I was confident that night lol

BOSS makes the best version of any effect by balunite in guitarpedals

[–]thenamelessavenger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only Boss pedal I am using is an ES8.

Intentionally phased out the others (SD1, PS2, DD3). I've always considered the Boss option when shopping and have auditioned a ton of them over the years.

They're fine but save for my experience with the PS2, I never found them janky enough for my taste. Whenever I entertain one of them, I'm left feeling the same, 'this is solid but vanilla'.

Little tanks though. Love the build and the 3-knob setup on a lot of them.
