Henchman of Santa posted:Because sometimes it’s actually a better version of the song. Good live bands often make changes and additions to the studio version and well-produced live albums have good audio quality. Sometimes a really hyped up crowd adds to the energy as well, like on Rush in Rio. You are now my enemy for life

hating Gamer Thrones is just a bit of good manners. talking about that show with anything but scorn, and outside of contexts where it is absolutely necessary to do so, is just boorish

also phuo: generations don't get credit for their artists, artists are always outliers that's why when someone doesn't listen to music because it's old and they don't like old people it's just sad, music is timeless

This might be a double unpopular opinion, but "Down" & "Lightyears" by 311 are awesome on their live album and sort of flat on their respective studio albums. Of course, this could be because I heard the live album first, but who knows?

The best example of an improved live recording is I Want You to Want Me. Have you ever heard the studio version? It sounds like they were on quaaludes in comparison to the Budokan performance that gets all the airplay.

Rape happened, like a lot, back in the day, when soldiers did whatever the gently caress they wanted to with the enemy Hell, rape and slavery was basically all the vikings did

Eh, grrm definitely overuses sex and sexual violence to be all "this ain't your daddy's dragon story." Like, you don't even have to look at rape, consider Dany's boobs always come up in her unrelated internal monolgoues. But he didn't write "finger her arse!" so

But I do at least want to know why folks did. But too often it comes from a place of "I want to be smart, so I hate the thing that people love". Also; making rape and murder constant features is daft and not really bourne out by the historical record in a lot of instances.

I'm pretty sure I mentioned earlier that PS3 level graphics were more than good enough, there's no real reason to invest resources into making games look better than the best looking PS3 games. I've had some time to think, and I'd like to expand on that. While it si absolutely true that any resources spent on making games look better has been a complete waste, it's doubly tragic because there is one area where video games really did need to advance, and instead have stagnated. I am of course talking about destructable environments. Whatever extra power these new consoles have, it would only be valuable if it was used to make the environments in games destuctable, and more realistically destructable. The fact that the PS5 and Xbox The New Xbox are going to launch with games featuring building you can't destroy is an absolute travesty. Imagine if video game designers had spent the past ten years instead of chasing ray-traced lighting or motion bloom or whatever other meaningless shiny gew gaws, had been figuring out how to design thrilling action adventure games where you can simply smash through any wall with a big hammer. Or a new Hitman where most assassinations could be achieved simply by collapsing whatever building your target was in. Think about how much better video games would be, and how much more enjoyable they would be to play.

Ghost of Tsushima is an absolutely gorgeuous game and while a large part of that is the color palette I still don't believe the PS3 would have been up to the task, therefore I must disagree.

I have little free time devoted to entertainment. I'd rather not spend that time consuming graphic depictions of rape. Shitposting on a dead comedy forum is much more appealing to me.

I only listen to micro-label ethically sourced early 2000's industrial/EBM. Anything more mainstream than Dubok or NCC is auditory swill unfit for my refined musical taste. Also the band Object was awesome and if you don't know about them, I'm not surprised because I get music, and most people don't.
