I need to have the right headphones for the best enjoyment! This includes open-backed headphones for a wider soundstage, a neutral sound signature, and plenty of POWER! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are really only a few Metal Subgenres worth worrying about; Thrash, Death, Black, Progressive, Power, Symphonic, and Core. I don't remember if rock 'n roll has this many sub genres. 4 minutes ago, The Recherche said: That's why we have headphones, my dude.

Only when we started to break it up by era, ie class rock and modern. I'm sure in the genre overload it's been broken up further, but for me, there is only the two. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, typically video games are defined as an interactive medium... so as a whole, visual novels can be considered games. It's worth nothing that even movies have an amount of interactivity on the menus, so I can see how this is a grey area. 1 ❆~ 𝓐𝓵𝔀𝓪𝔂𝓼 𝓪𝓷𝓭 𝓕𝓸𝓻𝓮𝓿𝓮𝓻 𝓟𝓮𝓮𝓻𝓵𝓮𝓼𝓼 ~❆ 𝓕𝓲𝓿𝓮 𝓨𝓮𝓪𝓻𝓼 𝓲𝓷 𝓽𝓱𝓮 𝓜𝓪𝓴𝓲𝓷𝓰: 𝓜𝔂 𝓟𝓮𝓻𝓼𝓸𝓷𝓪𝓵 𝓕𝓻𝓲𝓮𝓷𝓭𝓼𝓱𝓲𝓹 𝓲𝓼 𝓜𝓪𝓰𝓲𝓬 𝓡𝓮𝓿𝓲𝓮𝔀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinda; it was slightly too loud... and I listened to it like that for too long. If I only did this once, then it wouldn't be a problem... but I did it for too long. 2 ❆~ 𝓐𝓵𝔀𝓪𝔂𝓼 𝓪𝓷𝓭 𝓕𝓸𝓻𝓮𝓿𝓮𝓻 𝓟𝓮𝓮𝓻𝓵𝓮𝓼𝓼 ~❆ 𝓕𝓲𝓿𝓮 𝓨𝓮𝓪𝓻𝓼 𝓲𝓷 𝓽𝓱𝓮 𝓜𝓪𝓴𝓲𝓷𝓰: 𝓜𝔂 𝓟𝓮𝓻𝓼𝓸𝓷𝓪𝓵 𝓕𝓻𝓲𝓮𝓷𝓭𝓼𝓱𝓲𝓹 𝓲𝓼 𝓜𝓪𝓰𝓲𝓬 𝓡𝓮𝓿𝓲𝓮𝔀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I keep my music right at a volume before it would be considered too loud.

Guest July 5, 2018 Share July 5, 2018 Just now, Rising Dusk said: Like the anime ones or the Tell Tale games? Honestly I feel they are about the same, but the Tell Tale formula is like "the evolution" of the genre. Just now, TheTaZe said: Are telltale games really classified as visual novels? I'm not entirely sure about that. Yeah they are, they are just Adventure-Visual Novels, essentially Visual Novel 2.0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was hearing rap in the mid-80s but mostly East Coast hip-hop styles. Oldies was your parents' music (50s and 60s), 80s brought new wave and hair metal, 90s went techno. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
