Ryus
07.19.20 | bike, code, watch tv, run, occasionally read but not as much as id like because of my garbage attention span
i wanna start making my own music soon |
Deez
07.19.20 | This year a LOT of death/deathdoom metal. Not consistently listened to this much Death metal since i was a young pup. Weird how things come around.
Some UK hip Hop also. Also revisiting The Sopranos for the 100th time and Hannibal for the 3rd. Should probably exercise somewhere but fk it.. |
Satellite
07.19.20 | My COVID routine has consisted of collecting records, inline skating, cooking, buying shit I don't need and working (which fortunately I'm able to do from home). I enjoy TCH and drinking but I'm not constantly high and/or drunk like I used to be.
I built a gaming PC for the first time near the beginning of the lockdown. I also became super into grilling and I've gotten myself into decent shape by eating healthy, exercising and switching from beer to liquor.
Seriously considering getting into podcasting because there aren't enough of those fucking things already. |
deathofasalesman
07.19.20 | @ryus: sounds productive asf! i'd like to read more, as long as you're reading something it's more than what the average person does. you play any instruments?
@deez: dude noice. 2020 has been stellar for death/doom releases imo. i've been diggin the hell out of 200 stab wounds, i'm gonna slap their ep on here just because it slaps so hard.
definitely gotta exercise where you can. i'm probably in the worst shape i've been in a long time, so looking for ways to bounce back. |

07.19.20 | Yeah me too. I work nights though so just cant be bothered doing anything energetic. I live in the Scottish highlands so some amazing walks which were great for the lockdown but its back to work now...200 stab wounds Ep is rad. I did a halfway 2020 list recently and it was 80% death 'and there of' metal. Crazy ...but dope |
deathofasalesman
07.19.20 | @Satty: Are we talking AGGRESSIVE INLINE? If not, that's still badass. What game are you playing on PC? I'm on console, PS4, so I'm pretty jealous you got a setup.
I would listen to your podcast, especially if you get a $100M Spotify deal. I've been listening to a shit-ton of Cum Town just because. Don't what that says about me as a person but idgaf. |
Ryus
07.19.20 | @death i play guitar (badly) and piano (badly), i'd like to start making electronic though
i've also really really wanted to learn the drums but i live in an apartment at home and i'm in college so it's not really a possibility as of now so maybe in the future :] |
deathofasalesman
07.19.20 | @Deez: i'm in america so the idea of "back to work" is completely terrifying. fuckin embarrassed of this country. always wanted to go on a nice walk in the scottish highlands.
i'm gonna have to check that list. if you aren't already about this, cop this link http://perceptionthroughdissonancev3.blogspot.pt |

07.19.20 | My other main hobbies besides music are history, learning about other kinds of arts (painting, architecture, etc), collecting diecast cars, anime and video games
My quarantine consists on staying the whole day on pc, wether it is working or socializing with friends. Playing Rocket League, Left 4 Dead, etc with them is was has kept me sane these months |

07.19.20 | @ryus: you could try a sampler pad or midi drums first before diving into a kit. although i gotta say as a drummer they're fun asf to play. i used to live in a second story studio apt so i get what you're saying about the living situation not accommodating drums lol. doesn't matter your skill level tho friend, you can still make music. |
Satellite
07.19.20 | @death Nah, like the least aggressive kind of inline skating ever. I just cruise on the rail trail near my place and listen to music. Sometimes I'll go for like 15 miles, but I take it easy.
Right now I'm switching back and forth between TW3 and No Man's Sky. Just finished a modded Skyrim playthrough and it was like I'd never played the game before.
I listen to a shitload of podcasts, especially while working. My personal favorites are Harmontown (RIP), The Dollop, Bill Burr's Monday Morning Podcast, Dumb People Town and How Did This Get Made? If/when I start one I'll definitely drop a link here. |
deathofasalesman
07.19.20 | @MrSirLordGentleman: you sound like a fkn NERD. just kidding, i'm one to talk lol. left 4 dead is the shit. what's your most prized vehicle in your diecast car collection?
@ColeT: that's chill. i've been making some youtube videos ma self, that's creative af dude. your friends sound like extras in an adult swim cartoon, are they animals or people?
@Deez: The Realm of Metal, why is it always gotta sound like something out of LotR hahaha. Same though, I have a catalogue of bookmarks, half of them have dead links by now smh.
That view is pure insanity. If I lived that close to something like that, I would probably be more mellowed out (coming from already mellowed out person) |
deathofasalesman
07.19.20 | @Satellite: 15 miles is a pretty awesome distance. I don't know if I can go 15 miles on a skateboard but that's a totally different thing lol.
Did you have Macho Man Randy Savage dragons breathing flames on ya?
I can't say that I listen to that many pods, but I definitely switch through a lot of different comedians YouTube podcasts. Of course I like Monday Morning Pod, I'm also half of a fan of the Bill Bert podcast, same goes for Two Bears One Cave, YMH, etc. Looking forward to the eventual release of said podcast. Are you covering any subjects in particular--interviews, topics, comedy? |
Satellite
07.19.20 | I take plenty of breaks when I go that far. More often than not I just go like 4-5 miles. I got used to running at least 10-15 miles a week and I've found skating way easier.
I love YMH and its related other podcasts. Gonna buy a Josh Potter tit cup Cameo for my brother's birthday lol.
I wish I could just do a podcast where I bullshit about but whatever, but those only work when people know who you are. I'm thinking about doing one about baseball (particularly early 20th century baseball) or punk rock. I have some ideas, but first I need the equipment. Now seems like as good a time as ever to give it a shot. |
MrSirLordGentleman
07.19.20 | @death I have a Hot Wheels that's worth at least $3000usd if it is kept on its blister. I opened it since I got it when I was like five years old and now it's worth probably a couple of bucks lol |
deathofasalesman
07.19.20 | So you're telling me you never saw a sweet bench on the side of the road and tried to Fishbrain slide across it?
LMAO I just saw that video of Josh Potter's apartment the other day, that shit was nasty. He's like a little goblin creature. I should probably do the same for my brother's birthday coming up just to confuse him lmao |

07.19.20 | Never. I'm 33 and until a month or so ago hadn't skated since I played hockey a decade prior.
I mean Potter IS the human cockroach. But yeah that was unreal. Glad to hear he's keeping it clean. It took an insane amount of courage to allow the state of that place to be filmed and posted on YT. |
MrSirLordGentleman
07.19.20 | @death Pretty much yeah lol. Never cared about their monetary value though, I just really like them since I love cars, so I take almost all of them out of their blisters. Might start doing dioramas in the future to make of it a more interacting hobby instead of just collecting |

07.19.20 | @Satty: Oh alright, I still recommend playing Aggressive Inline on an emulator because...well idk I just liked that game a lot growing up.
The way he was chain-smoking for four hours HAHAH, you're right that took some guts. This might sound retarded but have you listened to Cum Town?
@MrSirLordGentleman: I salute you as someone who has given away all his Hot Wheels to his younger cousin who then (probably) threw them in the trash.
@el_newg: What?! You should be at that theater right now selling tickets for Tenet! It's what Christopher Nolan has demanded us to do!
@Squirrel: That's legit. Anytime I turn back to reading, I always go for writers like Kafka, Vonnegut, Hesse (proceeds to name more authors with no literary connection other than the fact they're authors) |

07.19.20 | Well i have been exercising (lost around 13 pounds so far) and i run a small YT channel (100 Sub, so yeah, i am not secretly fantano or something lol) where i do alot of things, mainly music reviews. Also i am pretty much always listening to music (Kinda have an obsession with it...like I MUST catch up on 2020 or I MUST listen to every release ever from this artist), other then that i do practice vocals too (both screamed vocals and sung, i will admit my sung is not as strong as my screams), had a book i have had in mind with writing but due to being so consumed with music/ reviews and that sort of thing i have not touched working on it in a while. Furthermore I also write lyrics and have had and watch tv, (Been binging Murdoch mysteries with my aunt and uncle every dinner, and on my own time a few episodes of last airbender every once in a while) |

07.19.20 | but nah if u ever hear something of mine you won’t know it’s me. projects on here that the user base knows are user-created inherently have a reduction in cred. like, a cred penalty. I’d way rather it got attention elsewhere first |

Colton
07.19.20 | That's fair Jomm. But sometimes it's good just to get feedback and not worry about cred. Cause if your music gained traction on this site without you sharing it directly, we would still find out it's you in the end right? Unless you just kept it a secret forever |

07.19.20 | I've been spending a good portion of the time discovering new music, mostly exploring the metal genre. Recently making a Sputnik account has really helped. Besides that, I've been mountain biking a lot, getting some books people have been telling me to read, and practicing some instruments I haven't spent enough time on recently. And work, of course.
Luckily I have some friends around, and we're talking a weekend camping trip to the Bighorns in a couple weeks. |
Jots
07.19.20 | well no I use aliases so I doubt you would. but if u did then at that point it wouldn’t matter much
the cred remark was tongue in cheek btw
anyway I’ve been reviewing on this site for a long time (not lately but u know) and I’m still somewhat connected to various outlets and ppl etc, so I sorta kinda have instincts and exp for how promotion works. it’s all good, I have methods that don’t include spamming sput with half-baked demos lol |

07.19.20 | @Jom. Anything from the Wychwood brewery pal which i think does export all over the world.
I think a proper limey pint would be a light and bitter. So two thirds of a pint of any old bitter topped off with light ale.
I still have it on occasion, it’s lovely. Old school as fuck.

07.21.20 | Hobbies during COVID?
gym work every day, more if it's sunny, play tennis twice a week, go running once a week with a buddy, about ten of us signed up to Board Game Arena so we play that while getting drunk and chatting couple of times a week, still got my fish keeping (got a 450L tropical tank and a large pond dug and set up during lockdown), gardening (has to be done) and watched most everything on Netflix since signing up just before lockdown. Also watching the Premier League and having the occasional bet.
Finally went to the pub twice last week too - not at all before then.
Then I work from home (furlough finished for me 3 weeks ago) and listen to music all day.
That's my life right now, it's alright - I'm saving about a grand a month on near-zero social activity.
I'm a typical old middle aged cvnt in my habits. It's awesome. |

Then on Monday I finally took off my headphones and started working, and was happy to win first place later. I think that album gave me a very relaxed mindset and determination to make a good thing.
