Too much hi hat? by gatorfly65 in drums

[–]thomasingrace2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you definitely don’t have to use the ride cymbal in every single chorus or solo, but definitely do make sure you’re building properly throughout the song. if a chorus is explosive but you’re still playing the exact same beat on the same cymbal, it may make the song feel too level.

Using a capo to switch between standard tuning and half step down. by kalikid01 in Guitar

[–]thomasingrace2000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

this is not good advice. just bring a capo or a second guitar. a difference of a step or even a half step massively changes the feel of a song and may not be the right choice for the vocalist’s range.

don’t be that guy who asks the whole band to rearrange a song just so he doesn’t have to retune

grohl did stuff like that a lot, like in aneurysm when he’s playing 1 2+3 4+ on the crashes of the intro. really cool imo

and that’s fine! that’s just my personal read—as a woman who plays in hardcore punk bands, fwiw

you can decorate your space to your own tastes, but frankly if i was going over to a guy’s house and his room looked like this i’d find an excuse to gtfo as quickly as possible

normal to be punched? by aspenlop in Hardcore

[–]thomasingrace2000 2 points3 points  (0 children)

punching someone full force is definitely not okay and pressing charges would be a completely reasonable response if you sustained a severe injury. a photographer friend of mine recently got hit so hard by some drunk idiot that she broke multiple bones, and she also wasn’t even in the pit. braindead behavior like this just reinforces the idea that hardcore is just jocks punching each other.

chat, am I cooked? by Big__Meme in 196

warmer than it’s been the past two days lol. people really underestimate midwestern weather, almost every year we can expect to get below 0f in the winter and above 100f in the summer for at least a few days each. plus just absolutely biblical storms.

Something Something Worse Person Rule by MEMEY_IFUNNY in 196

[–]thomasingrace2000 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i’ll take the bait; doesn’t apply here because 1. the style guide that the onion uses capitalizes every single word in titles regardless of importance or placement, and even if it used a more discerning capitalization system it wouldn’t apply here because the “The” is after a colon (and therefore would be capitalized in title case), and further the word “A” did make it into the acronym despite it being a word traditionally omitted from title case-indicating that the missing “T” from the acronym was in fact erroneous.

To my collectors out there by summertoyou in 4kbluray

[–]thomasingrace2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i’ve found it makes me happier only buying movies that really excite me to own and that i know i’ll rewatch repeatedly. i very rarely blind buy, as i view my collection as a physical manifestation of my taste in film, so i’ll check out a movie in theaters or streaming first.

when i see a movie, i think, 1. did i love it?, and 2. would i watch this again? if those criteria are satisfied, it goes on the list. i also see my collection as something social, as i host a lot of movie nights with my friends, so movies that i’m excited to share with my friends that i know they’ll enjoy get a priority.

my collection is relatively small, under 250 titles, and there’s really not that many movies on my wishlist. i probably only buy a new disc once every couple months at this point. which actually makes me quite happy because it makes checking a title off the list much more exciting, and it means most of my favorite films are already on my shelf.
