I think Darche’s moves so far in his tenure have been good. The palat deal is whatever, soucy didn’t cost much at all. I like schenn, but I think the first was way too much.

That being said why is it every year there’s all these names and not once are the islanders ever in the mix? I get New York is a less desirable location, it’s expensive, smaller market, etc, but like can we at least be in rumors for SOMEBODY?

I’ve seen all 31 other teams either make moves or be in rumors for moves in the past week.

I don’t even know what direction the team is going in. We have this older core that I think is really good, but you also have this younger wave of guys (especially defensemen) and I just feel like you aren’t gonna win a cup with both groups.

You have Barzal, horvat, Pageau, sorokin, pulock, and Romanov signed for a few more years, but other than that why are we not trading these guys?

Lee could’ve easily gotten a first + prospect, maybe even more if you retained half. But now he’s leaving for nothing. That’s bad management of assets.

I think he immediately becomes our best scorer. And with Barzal? Could be nuts. Deboar connection too

Love Lee, but I would be kinda pissed if they keep him for either crazy $ or term

For me, obviously more years = less money etc., but a contract id be fine with for a third line winger at this point is max $4 mil for 2 years, maybe 3. Just enough years to kinda help mentor the young guns like scheafer, aitcheson, eklund, eiserman, Nelson, and to have his money off the books when it comes time to pay Schafer. Anything drastically over that would be annoying

Some friends and I were arguing about Stilt-Man (as one does) and I was trying to make a case that he doesn’t *have* to be a joke. And then we were trying to maximize his misery to make him a genuinely good/serious villain.

My idea was you make him a victim of let’s say kingpin where let’s say he gets his legs blown off by and explosion from kingpin and he wants to go kill him, and he’s either A) in a penthouse or B) on an Island, and he builds the stilt suit to help him (he has no legs) either get to the penthouse, or walk through the Hudson River.

I never said it was good or plausible but I’m trying to help my boy out.

I know I can go into a track, select all, copy, delete, go over to the correct Channel, and then paste, but I have a bunch of patterns I have to switch (I found a sound that works way better)

Just wondering if anyone knew of a way to select several patterns and change all of them to a different channel? Thanks

I have the basic premise for this story that takes place in a fantasy/sci-fi space setting. It’s not all that important to be honest it’s just the catalyst that starts the characters going where they need to go, but it’s basically an old inscription of a prophecy about the Sun coming to an end and the galaxy getting burned and destroyed.

And this group of characters is basically trying to end several wars/conflicts and getting various kings/emperors/wizards/whoever they can to help find a way to prevent the Sun exploding. I have tried to remove the whole prophecy thing, but then these random characters just sort of start doing shit for no reason.

One of these characters trying to stop this is the son of the Elven emperor, and he ends up dying and the prophecy was not about the Sun exploding and wiping out the galaxy, but the son of the emperor dying, thus starting a war that could possibly wipe out the galaxy.

I feel like it’s kinda either too obvious/lazy/dumb. Again the whole point of the prophecy is really just to get the characters on their journey but it’s not that important in terms of the narrative or character development or even the story, since the whole prophecy thing kinda becomes irrelevant once the kid dies about a third into the story.

Also I think I do want there to be some kind of cosmic anomaly hurdling towards the Sun to destroy it later on anyway lol. But yeah does anyone have any thoughts/advice on how to make it seem less contrived or does it sound fine? I’m not an experienced writer but I’d love to learn and get better

[Middle of bumblefuck nowhere, New York][24M] I’ve never really played with a full band but I’ve been playing guitar casually for probably a little over 10 years. I think I can do some screams or backup vocals if needed. I’m a quick learner when it comes to riffs and stuff.

Also when I say metal I don’t mean anything too heavy. I’d say the heaviest bands I listen to and would like to emulate are melodic death metal bands like Children of Bodom, At the Gates, Death, etc.)

I think metal bands need to start focusing on image (long hair and leather pants) and having fun.

Pros:

- Chill guy

- Don’t do drugs and don’t even like them (Maybe that’s a con for some people idk)

- Have nothing keeping me in New York if I think we can be good enough, I can really go wherever (Within the US)

- I have a few songs written and a bunch of sections here and there

- I believe image is very important and largely neglected by modern metal bands. If we don’t hit the stage with leather pants like it’s the 80s, what’s even the point? (Not you drummer you can wear shorts)

- Spotless driving record

- Am funny if you like dark humor/meta-ironic memes/post-ironic memes

- History nerd (Can write a song about the 30 years war if needed)

- Gamer (I don’t know what this does to help us become the best metal band of this generation but it’s there if we need it)

- Can cook

- Have nothing to lose

- Have a very clear idea in my head of what kind of music I wanna make and how I want it to sound

Cons:

- Basically no real experience playing with other people

- My wallet looks like that meme where Mickey opens his up and a fly flies out of it

- Tiny bit of stage fright (Nothing a drink or 2 and some experience can’t fix)

- I think most modern metal is terrible (Maybe that’s a good thing depending on your opinion I don’t know lol)

- Am very opinionated and don’t like a lot of stuff.

- Can’t sing AND play guitar at the same time very well just yet (but I’ve been practicing)

- I unfortunately play better sitting down so when I’m standing, my guitar strap is a bit too short imo (I wish my arms and fingers were long enough to stand like Prime James Hetfield but play like prime John Pettruci) 😔

- Not great at the engineering and producing part of the process

I’d say I’m a pretty fun and energetic person (or at least I used to be) but recently I’ve been in a really bad spot. My family situation sucks but I feel like I have to be around to help my mother and grandmother, but it’s causing me to have no social life at all, and to be honest, I used to think depression was just a state of mind that you can just ignore, but I think I’m really depressed right now. I’m not even sad anymore I’m just tired and lonely.

The few I kept after high school have moved away over time. I still keep in touch with them but it’s not the same. I’m kind of anti-social media so I don’t keep in touch with a lot of the people that I’ve been friendly with in the past so I lose contact very quickly.

I’d also say that includes tinder, I just dislike the casual attitude towards sex from a lot of people (I’m 24M) but I just wanna meet some people, and have something to do or someone to talk to. But I also feel like I wouldn’t get along with/have any similar views to someone who uses tinder.

If I do make a tinder account I don’t want to put any negative stuff in my bio for obvious reasons, but I also feel like I’m not as energetic and outgoing as I used to be, and I don’t want to lie and make people think I’m fine and then give off any weird fake vibes.

Should I bother with tinder? Are there better ways to meet people? Or should I just continue by myself? I kinda feel like my energy is about as low as it can get and I don’t wanna bring that kind of vibe to anyone.

I wrote a song and the verses sound better in the third person but the chorus sounds better in first person.

I’m not sure if anyone knows a song that does this. It feels weird but like I said I think it sounds better

I don’t know if this is a common problem, but when I’m making a new world on bedrock (Xbox) when I’m trying to enable certain creations, the game does like, a one second pause, and then turns them all off. Is there a fix for this?

I’ve gotten around it by spamming enable on them and then quickly hitting create, but this seems to cause some problems, and I’m also unable to get both resource and behavior packs enabled.

And no I’m not trying to shove 800 mods into the world. Just about 5-10 vanilla+ style mods. Any help would be appreciated, thanks
