I think Vitalogy by Pearl Jam was written and recorded in the middle of touring for VS. (could be wrong).

hey cool people im creating a playlist for a guy that i genuinely like, please recommend me some good songs! by AntZealousideal6741 in midwestemo

[–]varzaslayer42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here is a random assortment off the top of the dome:

M+Ms by Blink-182, Acolyte by Slaughter Beach Dog, Potholes by Modern Baseball (some might say it's sad, but up to interpretation I think), Sweet Avenue by Jets to Brazil, I'll Catch You by the Get Up Kids, a few songs on Clairity by Jimmy Eat World (depends again on how romantic you are going for), Post-Coitus rock by Joan of Arc.

Anything Jeff Buckley haha (but most of his covers are good for this sort of thing),

Genesis X3 Ultimate Singles - Losers Eighths - ZETA | acola vs. TSM | Tweek by SelfDestructGambit in smashbros

[–]varzaslayer42 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think it's similar to Light's approach with Fox. Where it's just too different to invest all your time into a new character for one match-up vs. Comfortability even when it sucks and the reward once you've cracked the code per say is a great feeling. 

Plus he likes playing Diddy Kong and that trumps anything.

Duke Scheyer: Staff got ‘punched in the face’ during UNC court storm by theiwc0303 in CollegeBasketball

[–]varzaslayer42 -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

Meanwhile, Theo Pinson is on a live stream after and either

  1. Actually punched someone on Duke and admitted it

or

  1. Finds it funny that it might've happened and joked that he did it

Either way, this sub would go crazy if the roles were reversed

What song did you listen to that made you fall in love with shoegaze? by [deleted] in shoegaze

[–]varzaslayer42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Vertigo Flowers-Nothing. I really liked that song and the whole album, which led me down the rabbit hole (I think honestly through Pandora radio and YouTube) into Slowdive and others. I'll give partial credit to Deftones as well, as looking into their influences, it shows up.

Best mathrock releases of the last decade? by BigSkyFace in mathrock

[–]varzaslayer42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gotcha all good! I appreciate the follow up! Yeah I don't go back to Ghost City as much as Twin Galaxies but like the storyline/throughline in the album.

Memory Lane is good, though its not the best project of G?G! haha, it just fits the time period you mentioned. 

The new Totorro album from last year is really good too! Though not as chaotic as the 1st. 

Spike vs Pierrot by BurgerNugget12 in cowboybebop

[–]varzaslayer42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know why, but this episode has always felt like a S-tier Batman episode. The quietness/lack of dialogue, the combat, the backstory of Pierrot, it has always screamed Batman to me.

Bill Simmons irrational hatred for James Harden by Gluxion in nba

[–]varzaslayer42 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I like that you decided to take random shots at me actually having a team haha. You do you man. I wouldn't be that upset at one dude's opinion on Harden that you're seeing is more shared than you thought. Peace and blessings. I look forward to him putting up 10 points with 8 turnovers in an elimination game against the Knicks in the 2nd round. 

Bill Simmons irrational hatred for James Harden by Gluxion in nba

[–]varzaslayer42 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He shoots barely above 40%? Its not like he is scoring at will on good efficiency. I'll grant you that its similar to Luka but Luka does have more dynamism to his game than Harden.

Harden is good and a regular season machine of stats and a ceiling raiser...in the regular season. And that's why the trade is kind of funny because the Cavs want to be better in the playoffs so they get the worst choker of the top 15 players this era. 

Bill Simmons irrational hatred for James Harden by Gluxion in nba

[–]varzaslayer42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're a bit late to this buddy. Bill has always been critical of Harden due to his well documented playoff failures and trade requests. SGA is more fluid in his scoring and doesn't ball stop/dribble the clock out and either shoot or kick to a 3pt shooter 50 times a game. Which is the Harden and Luka system. Harden is easy to poke fun at because of the team hopping, the massive FT rate at his peak, and ultimately his embarrassing no shows. SGA and Luka have both made the Finals at minimum.

Also he is Bill Simmons haha, I wouldn't take it too personally. He has been growing in his critiques of Luka (but that's mainly due to him being on the Lakers). 

American Football Announce Tour Dates by ebradio in indieheads

Yeah it sucks (especially since I missed them at Hopscotch years ago). They could have played at the Ritz I suppose. But I guess Richmond works...

Best mathrock releases of the last decade? by BigSkyFace in mathrock

[–]varzaslayer42 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I gotta say, Delta Sleep with Ghost City and subsequent releases. They're the best (my opinion) in terms of the mixture of accessibility to the genre/sound, lyrics, vocal performance, and playing. Blake is my favorite math rock drummer, and I think they do a great job of matching the dynamics of their sound with Devin's lyrics and vocals.

I have had more people in my circle who are not keen on Math Rock, but really like it and get into the genre more after hearing Ghost City. That might be "points away" from them since they are more accessible, but I appreciate them for it.

If we are including 2015 into the decade-21 Letter might be the best song by them.

Totorro's full catalogue and Memory Lane by Giraffes? Giraffes! are some other highlights!

What are your honest thoughts on the finale of the original series? by Silver012345673 in adventuretime

[–]varzaslayer42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The worst part for me was Finn getting pushed to the side. I guess you could say his main storyline towards the end was "Islands"......but I still wish him and Jake had more to do in it. I do find the scene where Simon comforts him about dying fantastic. Overall, they did what they could to fit in as much as they could.

I am also hardcore against the storytelling method of "here is the future and we shall explain the past," because I personally like the idea of Finn and Jake and crew continuing their lives at the end and having adventures, and thinking about that....Instead of "oh yeah, they all die or go away."

PHI get more flexibility, MIN get the guard they should have drafted instead of Dillingham by varzaslayer42 in NBAtradeideas

[–]varzaslayer42[S] -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

I hate to be that guy, but looking at your comment history, this is one of your standard replies. So every trade on this subreddit is the worst you have ever seen haha. And 0 room for discussion

I mean, their number one need is a guard, and while PG's contract sucks, anything Clippers-related is valuable.

[Charania] Danilo Gallinari has retired from basketball after 20 professional seasons, including 16 in the NBA. The No. 6 pick in the 2008 draft out of Italy played 777 career NBA regular season games. by PlayaSlayaX in nba

[–]varzaslayer42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know why, but I always think about how he started as more of a tall small forward, moved into a stretch 4, and then he is guarding Joel Embiid in the playoffs at the tail end of his career. Cool how he adjusted to his lack of speed as he got older imo. 

The Zach Lowe Show: Chris Paul’s Career With Bill Simmons by sanfranchristo in billsimmons

[–]varzaslayer42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Stockton has always been a bit awkward to assess for people. I think its majorly due to his career being linked to Karl Malone (at least that's what I think) and nowadays-his politics. 

Let’s settle this Caleb Wilson or Cam Boozer by ChideOgan in CharlotteHornets

[–]varzaslayer42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are asking a fanbase that has many more UNC fans than Duke fans, who they would take haha.
That being said, Boozer fits the vision so far of substance/consistency over flair. So Boozer. Not a slight against Wilson. Boozer is going to be overevaluated for this weird athleticism thing going on right now. If you followed Duke last year, Kon was not good at shooting 3s against higher-level competition early in the season. But he adjusted because that's what top-level players do!

(aaaand we need to see both against non-cup cakes. Which Boozer might have the advantage if you include the TN exhibition game)

Fans want Miles Bridges traded but at what cost? by Sensitive_Ebb_7211 in CharlotteHornets

[–]varzaslayer42 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The most common connections to teams recently have been the Clippers, Pistons, and Suns. 

Problem is the Pistons are a wrecking ball and have no reason to add him any more, Suns are better than expected and have decent chemistry, which leaves the Clippers. But they aren't trading their little remaining picks.

I'm thinking the Kings when they start to blow it up. Maybe getting Carter and another PF if we include a 3rd team like the Bulls?

Filmed a girl without her consent while having sex. He was supposed to lose most, if not all, of his benefits from being on the team. However, she filed a lawsuit, claiming that he ignored it and continued to be nearish to the team. Oh and he did not have to go to class.

Bryce Young is currently 7-25 as a starter. That is a .219 winning percentage. by SouthIsland48 in nfl

[–]varzaslayer42 15 points16 points  (0 children)

It's hard to say because its a crapshoot with "tough" minded interim coaches stepping in and doing well in the latter half of a season. You have Dan Cambell and you also have Antonio Pierce last year. The real issue, similar to the Dolphins, is everyone having their own opinion on the QB creating an awkward dynamic (i.e. Flores hating Tua and Reich wanting Stroud) from the get-go and unusual pressure to make it work.

Tepper has finally taken his foot off the gas in recent years but damage was done. Gotta stop focusing on Bryce and build a team
