TIL about Vertical Series, insane soap operas streamed in chunks of ~90 seconds in a vertical video format. They are all silly, terrible and some possibly written by AI. It is becoming a huge success. in c/til@lemmy.world

I don't understand. Are people into that?

Not necessarily. There were several lower rings out there in the world. The One Ring had been lost since thousands of years. I don't remember what Saruman tells the wizards about it exactly, but essentially, it is probably lost for ages, and Gandalf trusted his wisdom at the time.

When Gandalf meets Frodo at the start of LOTR, he tells him he was getting increasingly suspicious about this ring, and started doing researchs on it, until there was no doubt anymore that this was the One Ring. Tossing it into the fire is only an ultimate confirmation.

No, the territory occupied by Ukraine is small compared to the territory occupied by Russia.

There's even actual enough reasons to be angry at people, such as hearing about senseless violence in the news, or seeing people litter, or not respect other people on the cycling path, or put their garbage in the recycle bin, etc.

It gets exhausting after a while so I mostly stop caring. But those are actual reasons. Why hate on random things that don't affect anyone when there's so much actual things to hate people for?

Wait, so you're telling that to not feel ashamed of liking rocks for how they look, they believe silly things about them?

[–] Danquebec@sh.itjust.works 3 points 5 days ago (2 children)

I'm confused. If conscripts don't fight, what's up with the stories of Russian men escaping conscription? Is it just a regular thing, that we just happened to relate to the current war?

First, I didn't see that it was coming from NCD, and I thought it was a real news. I was really confused.

Then, I realized how much of a fool I was when I saw it was from NCD.

But then I saw it was actually in the URL of the linked article and I was CONFUSED AGAIN.

If the Olympics were held in your country, which metal band would you like to play in the opening ceremony? in c/metal@lemmy.world

If it's happening in Montréal, I think it should be Voïvod for being Québec's most popular metal band.

I'm entirely unfamiliar with breaking.

This is my second read. It's a fascinating glimpse of a Papuan culture that will soon be changed forever by contact with our civilisation.

Do we have older metalheads here? (sh.itjust.works)
 

I was wondering if we have older metalheads here?

I've been educating myself on the history of metal, and that made me wonder if anyone here is much older than I am (early thirties here) and has seen some of that history.

How did you get into metal? How old were you?

Any interesting experience you'd like to share? Things that have changed?

How were metal and metalheads perceived where you lived?

J'avais créé cette carte il y a quelques années. Elle reste encore largement utile, je l'utilise encore. À ma connaissance, Montréal n'offre pas encore de carte pour ça.

La Place Versailles démolie pour construire 5000 logements (www.lapresse.ca)
 

Je vis proche, et je le fréquente souvent. Pour ma part, je trouve ça un peu triste, parce que j'y trouve des éléments architecturaux à l'intérieur qui sont intéressants, témoins d'une autre époque, mais c'est pour le mieux, car je ne peux qu'être pour une plus grande densification, et la Place Versailles a un stationnement vraiment excessif.

How to find more of this black metal with dungeon synth melodies? (sh.itjust.works)
 

Hey,

I'm generally more into melodeath, power metal, folk metal, and epic heavy metal. I sometimes listen to black metal, but I'm not a big fan of it. Unless it's blackened something (death, folk...)

But some black metal songs are something else for me.

Keys to the Astral Gates and Mystic Doors

This one has absolutely beautiful dungeon synth over the raw black metal, and I love it.

Winter Lantern - Elven Blood

Listen to "Her Body Broken in the Bloody Snow".

This one also has excellent dungeon synth, together with black metal. Very good songs, their only flaw, which pisses me to no end, is the unnecessary effect on the vocals.

Now that I'm typing it out, I guess that what I'm looking for are bands that put emphasis on dungeon synth, but are still metal? But how do I look for more? Is there even a genre that I can search to find more of that?

I don't know subgenres of BM well (sorry, I'm definitely not trve kvlt enough), I tried:

  • Raw BM: this sounds to be typical raw production second wave like Mayhem
  • Melodic BM: seems like pure melodic BM (without death, or punk, etc.) hardly exist. Found good bands, but not what I'm looking for
  • USBM: generally not what I'm looking for
  • Lofi BM: might be the best match? Found Nihilitic Depths - Beneath Forgotten Ruins which is quite similar, but bands described lofi BM don't always correspond

Any help is welcome. Suggestions of bands or albums welcome too. After all, there might not be a name for that.

Thanks
