It could be worse… I’m just glad it wasn’t “AIpple”
So, this is gonna sound weird, but I actually find a lot of these bands calming to listen to. I’m autistic, and have a lot of weird sensory issues because of it, so music that’s too simple (a lot of pop or punk or other genres that show up on the radio usually) doesn’t fully grab my attention. Like, there’s not enough happening at once for me to feel immersed in it.
So I’ll end up listening to Power Metal to fall asleep sometimes because I can hear every instrument individually, and my brain switches focus to each one at random times, and it’s stimulating enough that I can be completely distracted from my other senses and calm down. Dragonforce is my go-to because they even have two lead guitarists at the same time.
That said, I do have songs of every genre in my library, and if I do want something slower or simpler, there’s a ton of Metal ballads that aren’t necessarily high energy. Try something like Crimson Day by Avenged Sevenfold, Remembrance Day or Trail of Broken Hearts by Dragonforce, Christmas Truce by Sabaton, or Mother Gaia by Stradivarius.
There’s a lot more examples, but you can certainly have slow, calm metal. I could probably make a decent sized playlist
I will!
Metallica for a dark, thoughtful mood
Dragonforce for fun, energetic, silly moods
Mick Gordon’s DOOM soundtrack when working out
Avenged Sevenfold for a carefree, fuck the world attitude
Blind Guardian when I’m looking for high fantasy, “take me away” mood
Sabaton when I want some motivation for work
Rhapsody of Fire for when I’m cleaning alone and want to get into some classical feeling stuff
Killswitch Engage when I’m feeling edgy
Korpiklaani when I’m wanting to go on a run
Parkway Drive when I’m angry or sad
There’s so many more than this, and much of these have overlap with specific songs instead of general artists, but this gets the point across, I think
I take it this is more like it?
“The knights who say “ne!”
Yeah, “jumped” is supposed to be “jumps”
Watch those wrist rockets!
Choose 3?
Pink, Black, and Blue. Easily best combo.
If I could only pick one, Black, all the way
Now imagine the scraping of steel against teeth on this and it just….
I married my wife and later we were talking (she knew I was autistic and she has ADHD) and realized she’s probably on the spectrum too, just in different ways than I
To be honest, it works out well, since our characteristics are complementary. Whether that’s down to being neurodivergent or not, I can’t say.
My ex I dated for 5 years before that had ADHD too, now that I think about it…. And my best friend realized he’s autistic last year, and we’ve been friends over a decade… Maybe neurodivergent attracts neurodivergent?
I don’t know about where you live, but I often make 150+ mile trips from where I live. Just to and from work is 190, and there’s nowhere to charge at work. I usually work from home, so that’s not a problem, but I just can’t afford to live anywhere closer.
If I could find one, I’d love to get an old Honda Insighf. Mfers get like 70+ miles to the gallon. With a 10 gallon tank, that could bring you 700 miles! More if you do some mods to it to improve MPG further.
I was at a set of train tracks behind a large truck. Well, in front of him, a car was stalled with hazards on. He looks behind him, backs up to go around the guy, and taps my front bumper. Dude’s truck was so large he couldn’t even see me in the rear view, and the side mirrors made me invisible since the wheel wells were so wide.
I don’t even drive a tiny car or anything, just a mid-sized sedan….
I hate driving or riding in large vehicles though. I feel like they’re tall, unwieldy, and I’m short, so I usually can just see high enough to drive but always feel like I’m about to hit everything. Can’t imagine having one as a daily driver.
Reminds me of a short YouTube recommended to me here. In the second part, it talks about a guy who just tells himself “FORTIFY!!” As a similar vein, it’s pretty funny.
iPhone 13 Pro. Will probably keep it until the 16 Pro later this year maybe, or I might go another year. Nothing wrong with it so far, I mostly just want a type-C connector for convenience at this point
Don’t see ads for it anymore either. I kinda miss the old “how it feels to chew 5 gum” ones
To some degree. We’ve seen prices rise in the pandemic and drop back down substantially over time back to pre-pandemic numbers. Look at price trends for construction supplies, for instance. Not sure if that is what you’re referring to, however
