Inkarnate's Music Discussion Thread

@Buddha I can sorta see it, now, going in with that knowledge. Never been the best at finding meanings outside of the direct words. You know that Atmophere song, "Your Glass House"? People say that's about the War in Iraq, but I can't see it.

@Buddha Oh, I love X. His range is so weird to think about. "Save Me" is the same guy who did "I Spoke To The Devil in Miami" is the same guy who did "Run Up On Me" is the same guy who did "Vice City". It's crazy.

As for the KKK speech in Riot, I think it makes sense. It fits the song, definitely. God forbid your über liberal roommate walks in while you're listening to it.

As for Tour Life...really? I got the girl friend angst part, but was I just not listening to the kyrics hard enough to catch the bit about dead presidents, or does that go back to another Lil Uzi Vert song? I've heard nothing else of his. UntilTour Life, he was just the guy from the Sprite commercials.

I heard hip-hop in that OP. What do people think of XXXTENTACION? I'm aware that he's essentially become a meme after "Look At Me" and the fact that he worked with Ski Mask The Slump God, but he's got some good shit. If you don't mind the...interesting artistic choice of putting a KKK speech at the end of it, "Riot" is fucking amazing. "Vice City" is fantastic. "Save Me" and "#IMSIPPINTEAINYOHOOD" are really angry, pretty short, but that's kinda my jam. Not for everyone, though.

Also, is it me, or has rap gotten pretty damn depressing lately? I mean, there's always been some sad-shit, but now you've got Suicideboys (however that's stylized) and shit. Then there's that new Uzi Vert song. "XO Tour Life" which is hella depressing, but I love it. Is that just a change in taste? Has this been going on for a while? I only recently started listening to new shit after years of pretentiously clinging to my Wu-Tang albums and claiming there's no such thing as good, new, rap.

In terms of something not hip-hop, anyone heard the new NOFX album? First Ditch Effort. It's a pretty wild departure from the norm for them. Less silly and "man isn't punk rock great?" and more introspective and somber. "Six Years on Dope" was immediately one of my favorite songs ever, and that's all about them regretting the whole "super coked out, all the time" thing that NOFX had going, as far as I can tell. "I Don't Like Me Anymore" is a glorious anthem for people who find themselves becoming dickish as they get older. "I'm So Sorry Tony" is one of the best tribute songs ever, and easily the best Tony Sly tribute out there. It's so personal, but I feel it so hard. It's weird to hear Fat Mike not angry or excited in his songs, but damn if he doesn't pull it off. Guess an old dog can learn new tricks.

No fuckin' clue...yet

A friend and myself are looking for a game. We are both new as well. I have some D&D 5E starter stuff, though. And I've made a character once before for PF, we just never played. SO I do kinda know how that goes.

@Ayemdar

Oh?

I'll send you a message!

Titanfall: (Title still in development) - A Pilot & Sentient Mech RP (searching for GM!)

I do so like Titanfall...

I'm interested!

The Dirt Town Orphans - animeish, high fantasy gang RP [Always accepting]

Still open? I intend to get a character sheet up soon.

@Aquanthe Many thanks, friend of friends! I appreciate the info.

No fuckin' clue...yet

Pathfinder's probably your best bet if you want something straightforward and encompassing with tons of mods and pre-made campaigns. I find the new editions of DnD way too limiting for character creation and I dunno how you'd do wargaming like Warhammer on a forum.

@Tancuras

Hell if I know how Warhammer works, but if you say it won't work, I'll take your word for it.

Pathfinder, eh? Noted. Thanks for the info, friend!

No fuckin' clue...yet

So, I've got no idea how to make an interest check for a tabletop. Plus, I've got no idea what I want to do yet. What I do know is that I just made a Roll20 account, and I intend to use it.

Shadowrun might be pretty gnarly. But there's other shit, like DnD, and I've heard Pathfinder is cool, too.

Or, if any Warhammer fans want to help me get my feet in the water, that'd be dope. No idea where to start there.

But, I figured we could work that all out together, eh? If it isn't abundantly clear, I've never done tabletop before. I've got a fair bit of experience in more traditional writing and rp, so it shouldn't be too much of a leap, right?

Right?

The Dirt Town Orphans (animeish high fantasy Saints Row-like RP)

Interested! Very, very interested.
