I see your senses have stayed the same.

Can't say the same 'bout your voice, though. When'd you start getting badly dubbed?

i actually wouldn't mind having an actual, non-ironic discussion


Title: Re: i'm really bored so hi again
Post by: Ƨɒlƚy on 13 June, 2015, 07:28:02 pm
Okay.

Which bands have you been listening to lately, and what do you like about them?


Title: Re: i'm really bored so hi again
Post by: Maniac on 13 June, 2015, 07:40:36 pm
actually, one of the most recent "things" i've been listening to isn't metal -- i recently got into the IIDX series (like, a sibling series to DDR for those who aren't familiar) mainly because I dig its music. guess it's probably because i've always had an affinity to electronic music (especially cheesy japanese shit), and because it has a wide variety of stuff to pick out of in one contained package:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NIFTljuaQdQ
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=smF56UI9ERU
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5abY1vxXGn0

course, i have no hand eye coordination to speak of, so I blow at the actual game. but still.

aside from that, for as much as i just said "i've been listening to prog metal for a while", i haven't really checked out anything new this year. i've accumulated a backlog that i need to get into, though. i've just referred to some recent albums from bands I used to like (like Pyramaze, which I hyped a lot when I was 17 and swiftly stopped giving a damn about afterwards), and all of them happen to blow.


Title: Re: i'm really bored so hi again
Post by: ganonfloyd on 13 June, 2015, 07:53:47 pm
on a different topic

Now that I've actually played a bunch of Megami Tensei games and shit I'm interested in how you're feeling about Persona 5 and/or the other games that came out in the interim of you leaving and right now.


Title: Re: i'm really bored so hi again
Post by: Maniac on 13 June, 2015, 08:12:14 pm
Well, considering that SMT skipped a console generation, there's not too much to talk about. I never finished Soul Hackers -- I hated the magnetite system back in SMT II, and it hasn't exactly ingratiated itself to me since. I always played those games specifically for the sake of collecting demons with a number of different play styles, and the fact that keeping them in your party was reliant on a specific kind of currency was pretty lame. Can't say much more about it, since I only played a couple of hours worth of it.

I played quite a bit of SMT IV. It has quite possibly the weirdest difficulty curve I've seen in a while, where it starts out balls-bustingly hard and then gets easier over time. Like, not in the typical SMT sense where you start to collect unbalanced skills that help pull your own weight, either -- compare like, Minotaur and Medusa to every boss after them, where you fight them at around level 13-15, and the next boss with higher HP is fought at around level 30, and the next boss with three press turns is fought at around level 45. After Naraku, it became a bit too easy for me, though. It's otherwise a pretty okay game (with some middling characters and a morally unsupportable law-chaos axis, but that's standard fare I guess), but ehhh... probably not gonna replay it any time soon.

Aside from a recent replay of Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne (which I... didn't completely enjoy), I've become pretty meh on most of the SMT games I use to trumpet and herald (think it might just be that I don't care about JRPGs as much as I used to these days), which includes Persona 3 and Persona 4. Not too hype for Persona 5, especially since I was kinda hoping they'd abort the whole high school thing. We still don't know much about it, though, and well, I'm kinda curious how they'll choose to present Persona on a next gen console, so I'm mostly reserving my opinion for later.


Title: Re: i'm really bored so hi again
Post by: ganonfloyd on 13 June, 2015, 08:26:55 pm
Couldn't agree more about the high school thing being grating.

I dug me some IV though. Probably a case of timing since I was unemployed for a bit right when it came out so I had time to do nothing and spend a shit ton of time on it.

Did you play Bloodborne at all (not that I have but)?


Title: Re: i'm really bored so hi again
Post by: Maniac on 13 June, 2015, 08:33:48 pm
Like, I don't dislike SMT IV, it's not bad at all. But I guess I just didn't dig the difficulty -- it's like, I struggled a bit too much with the first couple of hours (much like prolly everyone else did), and then after Naraku, I never got wiped by anything up until like, Kenji. It just felt like I just kept going from place to place killing bosses who aren't difficult enough to distinguish themselves and died in a couple of rounds. I also got the Neutral path on my first playthrough, which was just a god awful experience.

Never played Bloodborne, I don't have a PS4. Only guy I know who does is in another state for the summer.

This topic makes me smile.

so when random shows up to pick your brains about prog metal will you regret this decision
The Maniac I knew wasn't all about prog metal? I dunno, his tastes were harder to summarize than that. I still listen to a handful of the bands from that one topic, though.

Anyway, nice to know you're alive. Now someone just needs to summon Ahriman and we'll have a real party on our hands.


Title: Re: i'm really bored so hi again
Post by: Maniac on 15 June, 2015, 02:09:43 am
I actually just went through that topic to see what I put on there. At the time, I actually was pretty hesitant to do the list because it felt like I was kinda getting tired of most of the **** I added to that list, and sure enough, I stopped listening to damn near everything on that list within a year of posting that. There's only a couple of albums on there that I still listen to (and probably none that I'd herald as a superlative masterwork), prolly like 4 or 5. Honestly, that list just feels laughably bad today and I kinda felt embarrassed looking at it.

I'll could share some samples from albums I dig today, though:

The Detached - Anubis Gate: https://www.you tube.com/watch?v=s_MnU_reZco
Let Mortal Heroes Sing Your Fame - Summoning: https://www.you tube.com/watch?v=Jrx90jreBtw
Sonderkommando - The Meads of Asphodel: https://www.you tube.com/watch?v=OmiWhAkxGrk
Call of Schizophrenia - Fear of Domination: https://www.you tube.com/watch?v=reC1Ta-FMKE
曼衍珠汝華  ~  Nada Upasana Pundarika - Demetori: https://www.you tube.com/watch?v=zGh0g14ZJ8I
The White Goddess - Atlantean Kodex: https://www.you tube.com/watch?v=CPLXwTRNEQU

Also, you prolly won't see Ahriman ever coming back here. As much of those chat copypastas imply otherwise, even I don't talk to him very often anymore. He's pretty much moved on.


Title: Re: i'm really bored so hi again
Post by: Random on 15 June, 2015, 10:15:10 am
I suspected as much, on both counts. Personally, It's rare that I look back and don't cringe at things I did and was into in high school. Starting to feel that way about some things from college, too.

Certainly wishful thinking on the part of Ahriman. People are certainly allowed to move on, though.

It'll probably be tonight before I can check out these songs, but thanks in advance for sharing.
