2024.05.21 15:58 BigTex-1836 What are the best ways to make and use marginalia in nonfiction Kindle books?

I posted this in the Kindle sub and received no response, so I'm thinking maybe my question is more relevant here.
I'm an avid reader of nonfiction books that I use for research, teaching, personal development, and leading an organization. I've had every generation of Kindle since the very first one (currently own both a Paperwhite and a Scribe). There is absolutely nothing as convenient as a Kindle when it comes to the convenience of reading. However, I struggle to replicate my system of marginalia and therefore struggle with how to best use Kindle for nonfiction even after all these years of use. This results in a love/hate relationship, as well as numerous attempts to start a book in Kindle only to wind up buying the physical copy a day or two later.
Let me give an example. In a physical book, I typically follow the author's structure by using a pen to put brackets around a sentence like, "Here are three outcomes...." And then I circle the words, "First," "Second," "Third," in the following paragraphs. This allows me to easily flip back later and see structure or the flow of a concept or argument. If the structure follows numerous section headings over multiple pages, I will simply write numbers (1, 2, 3, etc.) next to the section heading so that I can easily see the structure when flipping through the book later. I also like use other symbols such as a star or exclamation points in the margin, and sometimes I draw a line down the page next to a paragraph in order to indicate the whole paragraph is important without underlining every sentence, which allows me to then save underlining for the most important sentences that I want to stick out.
After all these years, I've struggled to really replicate this in a Kindle book. I thought maybe the Scribe would fix this issue, but it provides very little real world value to me in terms of annotation and note taking. It is just as easy to make a note on the keyboard. The Kindle app allows for change of color in highlights as well as for putting a star next to certain highlights (a feature that STILL doesn't exist on the Kindle devices after all these years!). I also am familiar with using Readwise and making heading notes (.h1, .h2, etc.). That is useful to an extent, but still not great.
Maybe I'm asking to much of an ereadeebook. However, I'm also sure it could just be me. I know there are many people here who read lots of nonfiction and likely made a transition at some point from physical books to ereaders and had to adapt in the same way. I value your experience and would appreciate any advice you could give, or insight into your own system for marginalia. Thanks in advance!

2024.05.21 15:57 MolassesNo7880 The Bunny Safe system is terrible and here's why

Okay, the new system isn't even out yet, but I already made my verdict. As you can tell from the title, I don't have much nice stuff to say about it.
1. Let's start with the fact that you can only have four safes.
That's... okay, cool, but...
2. You can only open one of them at a time(?).
Yes, that's trash, but it's tolerable, but...
3. Not only do you have to open them manually every time, but you also cannot have more than four safes. Any additional safe you get while your slots are full simply won't count.
Damn, it just keeps getting worse. But wait, the despair isn't over yet—there's more! In fact;
4. You can't discard the boxes you have(?), either. So, if you have only 3-hour bunny safes, you absolutely must open them first before getting anything else like a better one.
And to rub salt in the wound for that matter, the boxes have levels. Levels that you acquire through upgrading, apparently(?). The higher the level of the box, the better the rewards, right? Yes, correct! That's great, for sure! What could I possibly say against that, other than... the fact that if you have a level 2+ box, you absolutely must open it if you still want to keep getting level 9+ boxes in the future. So, that could take many hours, and you will get a smaller reward. Why? Because you cannot discard it, and you must live with the lower-level boxes. Now, I don't know if you have to open low level ones only once, or if the levels you receive are RNG. Kindly and hopefully it isn't RNG, so that you always get's the highest levels, without having to wait the same time for potentially 50% of the rewards you could get.
5. The safes feel "unbalanced".
Why do I say that? Well, on one side, we have the "normal" safes, which take hours to open, correct? And on the other side, we have the practice bunny safe, arguably the best one by a long shot. Why? Because this safe can be opened instantly. For free. In fact, if there were a way to only get this safe, I would definitely accept that.
If you could only get practice bunny safes, in three hours of actively playing the game, you would get way more than what the normal 3-hour safe offers in rewards, which is insane to me, even though the practice safe gives less. You would also actively play the game which is nice for literally everyone in the current state of the game.
6. But wait, there's more! So, listen, here in the patch notes, the developers said, and I quote:
"There are three main goals of this update. Firstly, to create a means for growth through gameplay, thus providing motivation to keep playing."
Yeah, see that above? It's nonsense and doesn't reflect what will actually happen "completely". So, look, I have four safes currently, each taking three hours or more to open, correct? So... I can't win any more safes, right? So... why would I keep playing at some point, may I kindly ask you? I mean, in such a situation, why wouldn't I just play once every 3/8 hours instead? Also, will everybody keep coming back every 3/8 hours to get one more safe and then close the game every time? How long will it take to max out? I honestly believe that by then, any hype you might feel about the game in the context of getting strong would have already drowned out.
7. No way to skip timer besides paying gems(?).
What’s even weirder is that there isn't even a mechanic to skip five minutes or more of the safe opening if I genuinely... play the game. Like, really, I can't do anything but wait? Dude, most matches in this game are against bots, and I feel like this may have increased the odds slightly. Before, I would play many matches because I wanted to play and nothing else, and now I will likely only play once every 3/8 hours, and I feel like many people will do the same. Doesn't that mean there will be more bots and fewer matches overall? I honestly don't know. I just feel like the game's player base isn't big enough for such a mechanic.
Anyway, I'm not a "professional" on mobile games industry, so I have no idea how common this is. At best I have read that Clash Royale has it too, so, who knows? I don't think it will work here but we must wait and see, I suppose...
That all said, If anybody has any way to cheat or skip waiting times, or only get practice bunny safes while deleting the rest that you don't want, I would really like to hear it below in the comments! Please, do share your methods! 👍

2024.05.21 15:56 weavenis TYPE ME PLEASE IM DESPERATE TT PLSPLSPLS

How old are you? What's your gender? Give us a general description of yourself.
I'm 19y/o. I would say Im a calm person, unless when im tired or when someone angers me. Im the balance between energetic and no energy person. I dont like sticking to one opinion because it feels like im limiting myself, so i guess im open minded. I dont really care about what people think of me unless its about my attitude or if i hurt someone unintentionally. i cant watch kdramas that r js typical, it feels so shallow and cringy. I also like psycho analyzing people. I also overanalyze someone's actions towards me. When i talk about a topic, i mostly talk the generality of it, but sometimes i think about every possible details which makes it hard to commit to one, for example: let’s say someone says you choose your own reality, in a way i get what they mean but i also think abt ppl who actually cant choose their reality. Drake and kendrick dissing each other, my brother asked me whose side im on, which i honestly dont give a crap, because its not connected to me neither i dont care who they are, feels insignificant to waste my brain cells on that thing. I also dont like rude people, like i get you have a painful past but that doesnt excuse how you treat me, i deserve to be treated like a normal human being. The line between right or wrong is kinda hard for me, i think theres no right or wrong in reality, its just based on people’s values and morals. Which ofc i do have.
Is there a medical diagnosis that impact your mental/compartmental stability somehow?
not that i know of
Describe your upbringing. Did it have any kind of religious or structured influence? How did you respond to it?
im not religious but i do believe there is some force that does things
What do you do as a job or as a career (if you have one)? Do you like it? Why or why not?
im an architecture student, so far i like it, designing a specific building for a specific person to suit their needs and comfort, how they would function inside it, my fav architect is antoni gaudi bc his works, every building's detail has a function or a meaning to it, which is not just existing but serving it's purpose
If you had to spend an entire weekend by yourself, how would you feel? Would you feel lonely or refreshed?
for right now, i would feel refreshed bc semester just ended and i need to restore my sanity, but if im feeling energetic then i would rather spend it with my friends,
What is your relation with movement and your surroundings? For instance do you prefer a sport or outdoors event? If an outdoors event what is it? And why? If not what type of activities do you tend to engage i?
im not really good at sports, but i do like running it makes me happy i dont know why, i like doing stuff that requires my brain like puzzles, sudoku, video games, movies with complicated plot
How curious are you? Do you have more ideas then you can execute? What are your curiosities about? What are your ideas about - is it environmental or conceptual, and can you please elaborate?
honestly depends of what mood im in, but since im an architecture student i tend to touch every material, and be curious about the function of the elements. i like listening to interesting takes on life or anything, that is different from others, but generally idk if im curious or not. im not sure if this considers as curious or not, but i like thinking about life, what is the purpose of humans, why they act selfish or why they act like a bitch generally, trying to find an answer to anything.
Would you enjoy taking on a leadership position? Do you think you would be good at it? What would your leadership style be?
i like leadership positions, i like being in control, i like being organized, i think i will do a perfect as a manager lol. when im traveling with my friends i always do the bookings, transport, almost everything
Are you coordinated? Why do you feel as if you are or are not? Do you enjoy working with your hands in some form? Describe your activity?
im kinda clumsy but i have great reflexes, i dont really pay attention to my surroundings like if im traveling in a group and some stranger says something i only find out after my friend tells me about it. i like painting, it feels so calm
Are you artistic? If yes, describe your art? If you are not particular artistic but can appreciate art please likewise describe what forums of art you enjoy. Please explain your answer.
i like painting, bc i like blending colors, it just feels so free yk. i like listening to music, i listen to almost every genre based on my mood that day, i rly wanna learn how to play on a piano
What's your opinion about the past, present, and future? How do you deal with them?
i dont think about the past, present, sometimes future but lately i stopped worrying about the future instead just making plans, i mostly just think about anything that doesnt really involve time, i be thinking about life, people, or any concept, or just making my own opinions
How do you act when others request your help to do something (anything)? If you would decide to help them, why would you do so?
i like to help even if doesnt benefit me, but if its something absurd then fuck no, im a straightforward person you see, if i dont want to help i js straight up say sry cant help
Do you need logical consistency in your life?
define logical consistency
How important is efficiency and productivity to you?
It is important to me, im more work first, play later person. ive been thinking lately, i thought i wasnt a competitive person but during the process idc if im not the best or worst, but at the result i actually do care, i want to be better, idk why it contradicts, the process and the result
Do you control others, even if indirectly? How and why do you do that?
mostly to gain something for myself, when i want something i plan like a scenario in my head of how they would react and what i would say
What are your hobbies? Why do you like them?
is it weird that i realized i dont have any beneficial hobbies, ex: playing video games, drawing, im not consistent at anything, i start something and drop it
What is your learning style? What kind of learning environments do you struggle with most? Why do you like/struggle with these learning styles? Do you prefer classes involving memorization, logic, creativity, or your physical senses?
i like organized teachers, i also like teachers who talk in an interesting way, like connecting the subject to real life or anything interesting. i like teachers who talk in broad sense and not yappers. im really bad at memorizing things, i try to understand rather than memorizing, i like my design classes because u can create something meaningful and good as long as its serving a purpose
How good are you at strategizing? Do you easily break up projects into manageable tasks? Or do you have a tendency to wing projects and improvise as you go?
before i start doing any project first i break it up into simples things then start doing it
What's important to you and why?
i honestly dont know, as most people say happiness, its not for me, i dont think i know the meaning of true happiness, i dont really feel happy i just feel calm, my main purpose in life isnt being happy, im fine with not being happy. but i do wanna live without worrying about anything
What are your aspirations?
i want to be a good architect that will change my city to a better one, but first i need the power in order to do so. i want to be smarter and more knowledgeable and skillful
What are your fears? What makes you uncomfortable? What do you hate? Why?
i dont like selfish people, but at the same time in try to understand their angle so its kinda hard for me to js say wow shes so selfish bc there r so many perspectives spilling in my head that makes it hard to contribute to one (it happens always, but im working on it). I dont like people who dont try to understand the other person. I hate rooms without windows because it feels so uncomfy, mostly because i need to see the sky to live, if no sky then i feel trapped inside it
What do the "highs" in your life look like?
no worries, like talking to people
What do the "lows" in your life look like?
see the worst in people
How attached are you to reality? Do you daydream often, or do you pay attention to what's around you? If you do daydream, are you aware of your surroundings while you do so?
as i said i dont really pay attention to my surroundings, sometimes im in deep thought but would really call it daydreaming. When im meeting someone i dont see their outfits but more of what kind of person they are
How long do you take to make an important decision? And do you change your mind once you've made it?
i do pros and cons, consequences, if its risky but worth the result then im doing it
How long do you take to process your emotions? How important are emotions in your life?
for now i feel numb, i dont rly care about anything right now prolly bc i didnt sleep for few days doing my project. but i do think its important to open up to someone or tell them what u didnt appreciate about their actions towards you, and communication is the key. but i feel uncomfortable opening about my depressive thoughts because it feels like im asking for attention, but i do say it straightforwardly about questionable actions done towards, bc some people think youre okay to mess with, so if u shut them down at low there wont be high
Do you ever catch yourself agreeing with others just to appease them and keep the conversation going? How often? Why?
not really, im not a people pleaser, but sometimes i dont really want to argue i dont agree i just say "i see", since that sentence isnt agreeing nor disagreeing
Do you break rules often? Do you think authority should be challenged, or that they know better? If you do break rules, why would you?
depends on the rule, if its messing with my values then i first think about the consequence, if its mild then fuck the rules
What is the ideal life, in your opinion?
having the power to change things
Please ask me questions

2024.05.21 15:56 Tricky-Wallaby8795 18M experiences weird ghosting(?) by 18F

So there’s this girl that I was talking to for like 2 months. We’re both seniors and are going to the same college so it was really easy to bond and throughout the two months we really connected with each other. Like after about a month we were mutually committed to each other and we would talk on the phone all night, talk throughout the day, and be there for each other whenever it was needed. The only real problem is that I tend to overthink a lot, as I’ve had bad anxiety issues in the past. This windiest is compounded by the fact I was played in my last relationship by a girl who said she loved me and swore she was loyal that was talking to other dudes and picked them over me. But anyways, I would try to express how the overthinking made me feel to her but I really wanted to get her on a call because other than seeing her we only exchanged voice notes and never really got on calls. This expanded my intuition and made me think I was getting played so I did some mild research. We follow each other on Ig and she has a lot upwards of a thousand followers, which also set some alarm bells off in my brain because I knew she was most likely lying that I was the only want for her and everything. Also, just through like looking at her post comments, I saw that she still had her ex bfs flirty comments up there for a while when we were talking and that she still followed him, making me think that I was possibly going to be a rebound. Also, based on her TikTok reposts, she was just starting to get over him when she told me they had been done for three months so I didn’t know what to believe. But while we were talking, me and her shared everything with each other like past trauma, current issues, and I play guitar so I would sing love songs to her or send them to her(corny Ik) so she told me that she’s been deeply traumatized in past relationships and that her ex was the worst of them all because he would use her for her body and I think she implied some abuse so I knew to be gentle with her. She also said that no guy had ever put in so much effort to talk to and understand her and that it was so different and special to her. So everything is going good and I really like this girl, like more than anyone before. And like I said, we’re going to the same college so we both like follow the college posting accounts and follow people that are going to be her classmates. So one day, I follow someone a guy in there with my major, but when I do I realize my girl already followed him. So I go back to the college account (which consists of 90% girls) and realize that she hasn’t followed a single girl on there and follows basically every guy. This makes me feel awful because just logically, on an account with 90% girls being posted, can you following every dude but no girls be considered as anything but looking for replacements or new guys to talk to? So in the heat of when I found this out, I send her a pretty stern voice note in a tone I regret asking why she’s following that ratio of girls to guys when she has deemed me as “perfect”, “the one”, and “her favorite ever” and when she’s said we’re locked in and committed and I’ve agreed. Like at this point I wasn’t even looking at other girls anymore so it was really hurtful. So she responds nds with saying she follows everyone(not true) and that I’m reading way too much into this and that she’ll unfollow if there is a problem and now she feels confused and off about me. She also said she knows I don’t trust her now. She said she was going to get gas and after that, she ignored all of my texts for a week but always viewed my stories so I knew she just didn’t want to talk to me. This really breaks my heart because she told me she wasn’t like that and she would never just leave. So after a week, she finally responded and said that “I’m sorry and that I should’ve said something and I didn’t want you to think I left so easily. I have a on my plate rn and you’re such a sweet guy and I really hope this could work in the future but I have too much rn I’m sorry.” So I respond saying that I understand I’m not the most important thing in her life and that I was sorry for making her think I didn’t trust her because I do and I just wanted to understand her pov. I also said that I want to be a safe space for her and that she can communicate that with me bc let’s be honest, no one is too busy to shoot out a 5 second text update. Plus, it was too coincidental it came after our first real negative communication. So it’s been over a week and she still hasn’t responded to me so I assume I’ve been ghosted. I miss her so much and I’ve been trying to move on but I blame myself for this so it’s harder to move on then if I got played. Was that the breakup text she sent? It hinted at the future and I know I shouldn’t take her back but I know I would because of how much I miss her. Was I out of line to question her following because I knew I probably should’ve stayed away from the topic but I wanted to communicate how it made me feel. I feel like she def got a friends opinion and then decided to ghost because she seemed more apologetic at first. Is this even a ghost and did she ever really mean what she said about me being the one for her and her favorite guy ever? I want honest opinions on the situation and please don’t just give me the move on talk. I really just can’t and I feel like I’ve messed everything up and that I may love her. Should I call her? I don’t want to seem desperate.

2024.05.21 15:55 Nukemarine Today I finished lesson 8 of Pimsleur Mandarin Chinese, supplemented with Trimsleur, Anki, ACHTT, and previous Japanese study. So far, so good with Hanzi characters being the easiest part of all this.

Was tempted to make a video to show more than tell and still might, but things are still very, very early and always subject to change.
My previous Japanese language study is obviously giving me a big head start. Knew this would be the case when I went to Taiwan a couple of times and could recognize more than a few words which really helped me get around. Obviously pronunciation, vocabulary, and grammar would be radically different, but I was also aware of that. The unknown traditional Hanzi (focusing on that since it's easier given my Japanese study background) will not be the main problem, just the tones and pronunciation and thousands of words using those Hanzi.
Also, I have the benefit of going in with a set plan based on my own experience learning (and re-learning) Japanese using self-study tools: Anki, text analyzers, browser plug-ins, audio books, pop-up dictionaries, etc.
Current plan is as follows: Do the first 90 lessons of the older Pimsleur Mandarin course with serious supplementation:
So current plan just for the 90 Pimsleur lessons is:
  1. Review due Anki. For these, I have strict fail and soft fail rules for each card type. "Audio" cards (PinYin word/sentence) I have to know which hanzi are used and the meaning of the word - this is a strict fail. The soft fail (I hit "hard" UNLESS the spacing will be over 6 months) is the stroke order of the hanzi and meaning of the example sentence. The Clozed Delete card I also have know the Mandarin word, it's hanzi, and it's tone for the strict fail. The stroke order and meaning/reading of the clozed deleted Mandarin sentence is a soft fail.
  2. Do the Pimsleur lesson with the transcript (in part I at least). Pause to initially answer the English prompt then play and repeat the Chinese phrase. When the new word is introduced, go to it's Anki card to add pronunciation notes (the transcript has a few pages of charts for this) along with HanziHero as needed for Hanzi meanings and notes (super important for Hanzi that are new to me). Now, Pimsleur is normally a 30 minute lesson, but doing it this way makes it last about an hour or so.
  3. Activate the new vocabulary in Anki (custom study option) and see how much is remembered. I set cards to long learning time (1m 10m 1440m 3600m) with graduation done at 1 week. This is also great because Pimsleur cannot tell if I remembered anything or not and balance accordingly. Anki can.
  4. Watch one episode of Peppa Pig Mandarin at 75% speed with English sub, then rewatch with traditional Chinese subs. Peppa Pig is slowed down because the normal episodes are sped up on purpose in most languages. Any other show I would likely leave at original speed.
  5. Update my comprehensible immersion audio playlist. It'd be 4 copies of today's Trimsleur lesson, 3 copies of yesterday, 2 copies of two days ago, and 1 copy of three days ago (so Lesson 8 x4, Lesson 7 x3, Lesson 6 x2, Lesson 5 x1). In addition, it'd be the last four days of Peppa Pig ripped audio. This is about two hours of audio in total. I then play these on random, and the most recent lessons are played more often.
The comprehensible audio is played a lot of the time passively in the background. I can be doing anything else and not notice, but it'll be there whenever I do take a aural snack (pay attention to what's being played). I DO NOT want to repeat the major mistake in my early Japanese study of playing incomprehensible Japanese audio (rips of TV shows I watched) near 24/7. Found out that comprehensible that frequently refreshed is key to training your brain to follow along without thinking as well as repeat without effort.
Again, I'm only on lesson 8 with a handful of vocabulary words under my belt. Still, I can read aloud all eight of the introductory dialogues in traditional Mandarin. I'm also noticing the words as they pop up in Peppa Pig.
Gonna hate moving on to Pimsleur Mandarin part II as there's no transcript. However, there are websites that'll transcribe the Trimsleur audio (and maybe even the Pimsleur if I wanted) which'll simplify doing the lessons like I'm doing now.
After Pimsleur, I plan to do deep dive study methods (read subtitles along with Chinese subs, pausing only to look up meaning of unknown words and phrases), then after 10 hours of reading (at beginning stages this might be only 1 hour of actual Chinese audio) use subs with MorphMan in Anki to get 100 most common words that are within my learned vocab range. All that means is if I know 1,500 words then MorphMan will only look for new words from 3,000 most common that's also the most common in the read material stopping at 100 new words if that before starting reading up again.
Hopefully this all makes sense. Like with Japanese, I'll freely share whatever resources I can and answer whatever questions people have (if I have time). Obviously I'm in the beginning stages so maybe don't expect much.

But while we were talking, me and her shared everything with each other like past trauma, current issues, and I play guitar so I would sing love songs to her or send them to her(corny Ik) so she told me that she’s been deeply traumatized in past relationships and that her ex was the worst of them all because he would use her for her body and I think she implied some abuse so I knew to be gentle with her. She also said that no guy had ever put in so much effort to talk to and understand her and that it was so different and special to her. So everything is going good and I really like this girl, like more than anyone before. And like I said, we’re going to the same college so we both like follow the college posting accounts and follow people that are going to be her classmates. So one day, I follow someone a guy in there with my major, but when I do I realize my girl already followed him. So I go back to the college account (which consists of 90% girls) and realize that she hasn’t followed a single girl on there and follows basically every guy. This makes me feel awful because just logically, on an account with 90% girls being posted, can you following every dude but no girls be considered as anything but looking for replacements or new guys to talk to? So in the heat of when I found this out, I send her a pretty stern voice note in a tone I regret asking why she’s following that ratio of girls to guys when she has deemed me as “perfect”, “the one”, and “her favorite ever” and when she’s said we’re locked in and committed and I’ve agreed. Like at this point I wasn’t even looking at other girls anymore so it was really hurtful. So she responds nds with saying she follows everyone(not true) and that I’m reading way too much into this and that she’ll unfollow if there is a problem and now she feels confused and off about me. She also said she knows I don’t trust her now. She said she was going to get gas and after that, she ignored all of my texts for a week but always viewed my stories so I knew she just didn’t want to talk to me. This really breaks my heart because she told me she wasn’t like that and she would never just leave. So after a week, she finally responded and said that “I’m sorry and that I should’ve said something and I didn’t want you to think I left so easily. I have a on my plate rn and you’re such a sweet guy and I really hope this could work in the future but I have too much rn I’m sorry.” So I respond saying that I understand I’m not the most important thing in her life and that I was sorry for making her think I didn’t trust her because I do and I just wanted to understand her pov. I also said that I want to be a safe space for her and that she can communicate that with me bc let’s be honest, no one is too busy to shoot out a 5 second text update. Plus, it was too coincidental it came after our first real negative communication. So it’s been over a week and she still hasn’t responded to me so I assume I’ve been ghosted. I miss her so much and I’ve been trying to move on but I blame myself for this so it’s harder to move on then if I got played. Was that the breakup text she sent? It hinted at the future and I know I shouldn’t take her back but I know I would because of how much I miss her. Was I out of line to question her following because I knew I probably should’ve stayed away from the topic but I wanted to communicate how it made me feel. I feel like she def got a friends opinion and then decided to ghost because she seemed more apologetic at first. Is this even a ghost and did she ever really mean what she said about me being the one for her and her favorite guy ever? I want honest opinions on the situation and please don’t just give me the move on talk. I really just can’t and I feel like I’ve messed everything up and that I may love her. Should I call her? I don’t want to seem desperate.

Celest Relentless Review (IEM)
TL:DR for those who have no time nor willingness to read the full review:
PROS CONS
Full-bodied and textured low-end, lots of details and great treble extension, fun and engaging tuning, nice overall timbre being a planar (except for a small touch of BA timbre) Lower mids could be thicker, the treble is pretty bright and there’s a slight touch of BA timbre along with occasional sibilance
Great imaging and spacious soundstage along with nice instrument separation Thick shells won’t be everyone
They scale well if connected to a proper source with some amplification They are not hard to drive but having a good source is highly recommended
Build quality and design show lots of attention to details Tough competition (planar sets and single DD champs)
Thick yet comfortable shells that provide for very nice isolation
Wide set of tips provided in the box
Nice cable with modular plug (3.5mm + 4.4mm jacks)

INTRODUCTION

Celest, a sub-brand of Kinera, is broadening its range with a new addition called Relentless. Initially, there was some confusion with the Pandamon 2.0, but the distinct driver configuration and the released photos of both products have since clarified the differences. In this review, I will delve into the details of this set and share my personal take on each aspect of the product.
Disclaimer: the Celest Relentless were sent to me by HiFiGO so that I could write an honest review. This review represents my personal opinion on the set, it isn’t a promotional or paid content and I don’t get any revenue from the sales of this product. At the time of the review, the Celest Relentless were on sale for $169.99 at HiFiGO$.

DESIGN, BUILD QUALITY, COMFORT AND ISOLATION

The Celest Relentless are pretty big and thick and look amazing thanks to the coloured and refined design of the faceplate. The build quality is great, they are pretty lightweight for the size and the nozzle is neither too long nor too short, sporting a useful nozzle lip (which is good news).

CABLE

The cable is very good and it also looks durable, even though this is nothing to be surprised by considering the price range. If there’s a thing that makes this cable great, then it is the modular plug: by unscrewing the 3.5mm jack, one can swap it with the 4.4mm jack included in the box, providing for more versatility if a balanced output is needed/preferred.
Other than this, nothing new: we find the usual chin slider and no microphone control on the cable.

SOUND

GEAR USED FOR THE TEST
  • DAC: Topping E30
  • AMP: Topping L30, Fiio A3
  • Mobile phones: Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge, Xiaomi Mi A3, Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra
  • Moondrop May’s DSP cable with PEQ=0
  • Dongle: Apple Type-C dongle, Fosi DS2
  • Portable DAPs: Benjie S8/AGPTEK M30B
  • Other sources: Presonus AudioBox iONE, Elgato Wave XLR, KZ AZ10
Do they need an amplifier?
An amplifier is not strictly needed but it’s recommended. The Relentless scale pretty well and pair well with warm sources due to their bright nature.
Sound signature
The Celest Relentless follow a bright V-shaped signature with some treble emphasis and a low-end shelf. If you are looking for a Harman tuned set, you should probably skip this one.
  • Lows The sub-bass is controlled but it doesn’t rumble a lot: it’s a very clean sub-bass that won’t probably suit the average basshead’s tastes, but every other listener will not find it lacking. The focus is on the midbass, even though this is not super emphasized either: it has good textures, good punch and nice speed, but the combination between the controlled sub-bass and the emphasized treble makes it a bit less forward than it looks on graphs. Overall it’s a well done low-end for most genres, but those looking for the most punchy and full bodied bass out there will probably need to keep searching.
  • Mids The mids are recessed, so those who are on the market for a mid-centric IEM should probably look elsewhere. The leaner-than-average midbass sometimes struggles to give more warmth and depth to male vocals, although most of the time they still sound nice (yet not really “natural”). The upper midrange is instead forward (at the right point) and somewhat intense, with energetic female vocals and rich violins/electric guitar notes, even though some episodes of sibilance may occur if the tracks are prone to that (this is because of the combination between the upper midrange glare, a slight dip and then a treble boost). The instruments are generally well separated, the layering is good and it really seems like the Relentless are not afraid of busy and crowded tracks, except for some cases.
  • Highs The highs are bright and pack a lot of details, and the treble emphasis provides for a very open sound even though this also means that the Relentless should be avoided by those who are sensitive to treble. For sure, this is one of the IEMs that shine in the treble extension under 200$ (hands down) even though for some genres this may also be a hit or miss because of some particular sounds (i.e. if you listen to a lot of metal, some cymbals may be somewhat aggressive for prolonged use) and for a touch of BA timbre.
The soundstage is pretty wide and has good depth although height is just average. The imaging is very good, with instruments being well pinpointed and separated, this also thanks to the very good treble extension.
How the stock tips impact the sound signature:
  • Celest 221 Vocal Eartips (black): more emphasized treble, airier vocals and instruments, more sibilance
  • Celest 608 Balanced (Red): more balanced, a bit less airy and slightly bassier but less fatiguing than the 221
  • Foam tips: best balance between treble, bass impact and vocals and there is also less sibilance than on 608 and 221. Probably the best choice of the set.

Some comparisons:

Celest Relentless vs Simgot EM6L
Price is quite different yet both are hybrids placed between 100$ and 200$. The Relentless have a more robust and more textured the low-end (especially in the midbass region), whereas the EM6L have a richer midrange and more natural male vocals; female vocals, instead, sound more detailed and energetic on the Relentless yet a bit more natural and intimate on the EM6L. Both are kinda bright on top but the treble extension is better on the Relentless, even though the EM6L provide for a slightly smoother transition between the upper midrange and the lower midrange (with less occasions of sibilance). The timbre is nice on both but the EM6L sound a bit more natural, while the Relentless are less accurate from a timbrical perspective yet more fun and technical to listen to, with slightly better instrument separation and a more expansive soundstage. The imaging is not that different and the EM6L compete pretty well in this regard, even though the Relentless have more space to place everything properly and feels more “holographic”. When it comes to the build quality, accessories, cable and isolation, it’s an easy win for the Relentless, even though the smaller size of the EM6L may be better for some people out there.
Celest Relentless vs Celest Phoenixcall
Different driver configuration yet same company and similar price bracket: ok, let’s do it. The Relentless are brighter but they somehow feel less “thin” in the treble and sound more appealing and “correct” from a timbrical standpoint. In fact, the sub-bass extension is better on the Relentless and provides for a fuller and more engaging sound. The midbass is very good on both sets but the Relentless have better bass textures and better body, whereas the Phoenixcall compete with slightly faster transients when it comes to rapid basslines. The midrange is recessed on both sets but the Relentless do better in terms of vocals: the fuller low-end makes sure that male vocals don’t disappear and the smoother upper midrange emphasis gives more body and energy to female vocals (they sounded thinner and less natural on the Phoenixcall due to the earlier emphasis followed by a dip). The detail retrieval is very good on both sets too, but the Relentless are more proficient and pack a better treble extension (they also cost more, so it was expected). Soundstage is wider and deeper on the Relentless, whereas the height is similar. Imaging is better on the Relentless. The Relentless come with a slightly more versatile cable, but when it comes to build quality, isolation and comfort, they are comparable (even though the smaller shells of the Phoenixcall will appeal to more people).
Celest Relentless vs Simgot EA1000
Not really fair to compare a hybrid setup with a single DD set, but let’s try anyway. In terms of timbre/tonality, bass body/depth and vocals, there’s no competition: the EA1000 just sound like a more mature set. From a technical perspective, though, the Relentless compete quite well: the sub-bass has better extension, the bass is very speedy and it’s well textured (yet not as full bodied as on the EA1000), there’s lots of detail, the treble extension is very good (eveN though slightly less natural than on the EA1000) and both imaging and soundstage are slightly more clinical than on the EA1000. It’s unfair to compare these since the EA1000 avoid any incoherence that could come from the usage of different drivers, but it’s also true that the Relentless is not getting completely destroyed (which is good news). I would still pick the EA1000 hands down (it’s a more natural set with much better bass quality, richer mids and they also have that effortless way to reproduce every track correctly) but the Relentless really show Celest’s ability to keep up with proficient driver implementations. Anyways, the target is slightly different: those who want a single DD IEM will still pick a single DD IEM and those who search for a hybrid will only want that. When it comes to cable, accessories and isolation, the Relentless win hands down, whereas the EA1000 look like a slightly more premium set and come in a smaller-sized shell.

Final Thoughts

After the so-so Pandamon 2.0, Celest managed to score a very nice goal. The Celest Relentless are yet another proof that Celest know how to properly fit and implement different drivers without actually killing the overall cohesiveness. For sure, there is still room for improvement (i.e. the occasional sibilance and the slight touch of BA timbre), but the overall sound is pleasant and smooth for a hybrid configuration and the technical performance is up to the expectations for a 150$-200$ hybrid set. It will be hard to recommend these to those who don’t like bright IEMs or V-shaped tunings, but except for those people everyone else will find the Relentless a fun and technically proficient IEM that will provide for very engaging and musical listening sessions.

2024.05.21 15:53 Horror_Mushroom5737 Tips on how to max out your weapons and level up your class:

Tips on how to max out your weapons and level up your class:
Hi lovelies!
Today, I want to talk about leveling up and unlocking your full potential (and arsenal). Usually this is a very time-consuming and tedious process, but following these tips might make it a little less annoying.
Big thank you to for introducing me to these methods!
\"Keep moving, I see the evac point!\"

How do you max out every weapon in just a few hours?
  • Start a private lobby and select Episode 1: New York - Chapter 3: Hell and High Water, on a difficulty you're most comfortable with (usually 2-3💀 are perfectly doable - this is a decent enough way to gain some class experience also),* and with the following mutators: *All Flash, No Bang & Double Benefit (you can also activate the Crossbow Fiesta if you wish to level up your crossbow, Shotgun Fiesta if you wish to level up shotguns, and Wild West if you wish to level up Repeating Rifle and Revolver). P**lay and replay **this mission as many times as necessary, making sure you pick up every primary and secondary weapon along the way. There are two horde events: one in the train yard, the other at the dock. All you have to do is trigger each and use up all the guns that you can find. Every weapon has a chance to spawn, so make sure to look for them (including Sniper Rifles, ACWs, Heavy Pistols...). You can either rely on your Fixer bot or pick the Ammo Fixer class yourself (as you will need ammo bags to keep your guns loaded, you won't find any ammo crates throughout the level because of the All Flash, No Bang mutator). Remember that headshots yield more experience points. You can also pick up Virus Samples \for extra experience points and supply credit/challenge credit. As you progress through the mission, you can breach doors and containers to find even more guns and defenses to kill every Zeke with. Hop on the boat once you're done leveling up your weapons to finish the mission. One playthrough should take about 15–20 minutes, considering you want to level up multiple guns during a single mission, and you'll also get a full reward for completing the mission.
\Note - you can check your progress with a currently equipped weapon by looking at the score board - it will be displayed in the bottom right corner of your screen.*

How do you level up any class and get extra challenge credits?
  • This one is going to be a little awkward, but rewarding. Same principle: start a private lobby and select Episode 1: New York - Chapter 3: Hell and High Water, on Extreme difficulty with the following mutators: Perfect Condition & I Feel Your Pain (you can also activate one of the 'Fiestas' or Wild West). All you have to do is successfully finish the mission with these mutators (NY3 is by far the best mission to do, as there is no timer and objectives are fail proof). It should take, on average, around 10–12 minutes, and you get the full Extreme Mission reward (850 supply credits, 15 challenge credits). In an hour, you will reach lvl30 with a class of your choice and have around 100 extra challenge credits.
  • What happens is that the VIP player (or 'crowned' player - a crown icon appears next to your health bar) gets hurt instead of their teammates. Other players can still get knocked down and pinned, but they can't get hurt by any means. So the VIP players are the only ones whose health bar will deteriorate as all the damage is redirected to them. If they die, it's game over. But thanks to the other mutator, Perfect Condition, there are only two instances when the VIP can die: when they're infected or when they're downed and not helped in time. This is where it can get awkward (and will, eventually) - the more damage your teammates take, the more likely you are to be downed, and every time you're downed, your total health is reduced by 25% until you end up with 10% max health (it won't go lower than that), meaning every hit from this point on that you or your teammates suffer will down you instantly. On the plus side, your teammates can each grab a Virus Sample (it won't break since they don't take damage) for that sweet x5 bonus. Just complete the mission, and don't worry about getting downed every so often, as long as you can make it onto the boat.
  • If you're playing with other players, their only concern will be staying close and getting you up as soon as you go down. If you're playing with bots, always stay close so they can help you - because the AI is horrendous and path-finding and priorities are literal rubbish, this may not always work as they tend to walk slowly, melee enemies, or reload first before getting to you. Sometimes they won't do anything. It may happen every now and then, but just ignore it and try the mission again.
\Note - because this is Extreme WITH mutators, it doesn't meet the conditions for unlocking the Wakizashi, nor does it count towards story progress - you will have to beat the mission without modifiers.*
Hope this helps you on your journey! ♥
xoxo

2024.05.21 15:49 lykwydchykyn WTS: Handmade pedals and practice amps, experimental designs.

Hi guys. Making another shot at this. Cut prices on a few things because I'm just running out of room for storing my new builds. Order multiples and I may cut you a deal.
This post is mostly for people interested in buying, but I love a trade! If you're interested in trading see my latest post in /letstradepedals. I post there every other week, usually on Tuesday. I got non-DIY stuff in the trade post, too.
What I got for sale is hand-built stuff that I made, mostly relatively unique or heavily tweaked designs built on vero or point to point. Many are housed in upcycled tins, a few in hammond boxes. I've also got small practice amps built inside whatevers that you can crank up and enjoy at low volumes. They all run on standard 9v pedal power.
PRICES DON'T INCLUDE SHIPPING -- I ship USPS priority using pirateship.com, so expect shipping to be between $5 and $15 depending on how close you are to Tennessee. Would prefer to not deal with international shipping, but if you want it bad enough to pay for it, I'm game.
I accept Paypal or Venmo.
MOBILE USERS: There are 4 columns in the table below: Name, Price, Links, and Notes. If you don't see all 4, scroll over or ask for more info.
Fuzzes
Name Price Links Notes
Bazz Me Fuss You #1 $90 PIC DEMO A bazz-fussified perversion of the Escobedo push-me-pull-you, featuring controls for octave and volume. This is the first unit I've built using my own custom PCB. Housed in a painted 125B with top jacks.
Space Fuzz $80 PIC DEMO This is a Hollis crash sync fuzz that I souped up with an LFO to modulate the filtesync frequency. Really wild flangery/phasey type gated fuzz sound. At the right settings you can get some octave-down effects as well. Housed in a ~3.5 inch square game tin reinforced with recycled plastic. Pretty pleased with this build.
SwirlFuzz $75 PIC DEMO Modulated octave fuzz prototype. It's an octave fuzz, but you can switch on an LFO to modulate the octave amount. Controls for Rate, Depth, Gain, and Volume, plus switches for waveshape and mode (Normal/Octave/Modulated). In a circular tin reinforced with recycled plastic.
Big Green Fuzz for Attractive Bass Players $75 PIC Demo Like my bazz-me-fuss-you circuit, but with a big muff tone stack, a clean blend, and optional clippers for more compression. Housed in a big round tin reinforced with recycled plastic and designed specifically for attractive bass players. Unattractive ones may not really gel with this.
Creature from the planet Chyowngg $65 PIC Demo Prototype of a unique fuzz I've been developing that I call the Chyowngg fuzz. It's a 2-stage octaver that gives a bright synthy tone with a distinctive envelope (hence the name). You can toggle each stage from octave to non-octave mode for a variety of interesting timbres. Also has a tone control, but the tone control is before the octave stages so it results in interesting behaviors depending on the switch settings. It's in a tin meant to be painted like an alien, though some say it looks more like a triceratops.
Baller Fuzz $60 PIC DEMO Another Bazz-Me-Fuss-You build with an added BMP-style tone control. In a slightly beaten-up heart-shaped basketball tin. Y'all ready for this?
Wiff Spwinkles on Top $45 PIC Demo This point-to-point fuzz lives in the same neighborhood as the Harmonic Percolator, but has a few differences. I altered the way the gain knob works, and added a switch to toggle bass cut. It's housed in an ice-creamity welly tin.
Dumbo's Bazzrite Fussrite $40 PIC Demo A bazz-fussified mosrite fuzzrite circuit I cobbled together in point-to-point wiring style. Housed in a little Dumbo puzzle tin with GLITTER! Controls are for balance (kind of tone-cum-gain) and volume.
Drives, Distortions, and Boosts
Name Price Links Notes
Bronze Drive $85 PIC Demo This is a point-to-point, transistor based overdrive I designed based loosely on the Davisson Easy Drive. Good for low-gain crunchy tones and plenty of output volume on tap if you want it for a boost. Tone circuit is like a BMP stack but with a mid hump instead of a mid cut. Housed in a painted 125B with top jacks.
Copper ZenerMorph Drive $65 PIC Demo This is an experiment in zener diode clipping. Nice crispy drive that gets beefier as you turn up the gain, lots of good edge-of-breakup tones to be had. Housed in a decorated tin reinforced with some plastic.
GOOST $65 PIC A simple JFET boost vaguely based on the Runoffgroove Fetzer valve. Switch toggles bass cut for a treble-boosting sound. Point-to-point build housed in a small tin reinforced with recycled plastic.
B is for Beast $55 PIC DEMO This fun little drive/boost consists of two cascading MOSFET gain stages with optional clipping in between. It goes from clean and loud to massive wall-of-gain distortion nicely. Controls for gain, clipping, and volume. In a small heart-shaped tin about 4in by 4in.
Shining Hope Drive $40 PIC Demo Differential mirroring drive, gives a kind of overdriven-mixer-channel distortion. Controls for gain, tone, and volume. Housed in a star-shaped Christmas tin.
Green Sparkler Boost $35 PIC Just an Escobedo Duende JFET boost built point-to-point in a sparkly little round tin. Gives a little gain and a bit of warmth to the tone.
Non-Dirt
Name Tier Links Notes
Gift of Chykka Wakka $65 PIC DEMO First build of an all-transistor envelope filter I designed. Built point-to-point style and housed in a little giftbox tin reinforced with recycled plastic. Controls for Q and Sweep, switch toggles envelope smoothing.
Vortex of Funk $65 PIC DEMO Second build of the Chykka-Wakka circuit, this one features attack, Q, and range controls. Built point-to-point and housed in a painted tin.
BZZZ BOOP BEEP $50 PIC DEMO A basic square wave oscillator on a momentary switch. Can go from bzzz to boop to beep with a sweep of the big knob. Also has tone and volume controls, and a 3-way switch for different decay amounts. Use it to simulate a spring door stopper or dying cow. Or bleep your foul-mouthed frontman. Or mess with the sound guy. Or send Morse code to the bar. I dunno. Housed in a painted tin reinforced with recycled plastic.
Little Amps
Name Price Links Description
Ample iMank $65 PICS DEMO This is a Runoffgroove Ruby Amplifier built into this old multimedia speaker enclosure designed to look like an old iMac. Glows blue when you turn it on. It runs from a standard 9v pedal power. It's not terribly loud, nor terribly clean, but if you dig the classic mac vibe it might be fun. Controls for gain and volume, and a power switch on the back.
Nosy Amp $75 PICS DEMO Another solid-state amp based on the Ruby amplifier, housed in a repurposed bookshelf speaker. This one actually has pretty decent volume, even on 9V (can run on 12V as well for more), and can stay clean while getting loud enough for a quiet jam with friends.
Fleur-de-Lis Amp $90 PICS DEMO A tiny bookshelf speaker turned into a practice amp. This one features a class D power amp for lovely cleans, and a custom designed discrete preamp that gets punchy & crunchy when cranked. Runs on 9V but pretty loud nonetheless.
That's all for now. I just keep building and building, though, so there'll be more.

2024.05.21 15:48 Specific_Wrangler781 New drummer looking to jam

Hey all, M34 not been drumming long (around 6 months) still pretty shitty but getting there! Looking for anyone else who has taken on another instrument recently that might want to have a jam every once in a while.
Musical taste is mostly nu-metal / post hardcore. But willing to give anything a go (since I’m not quite good enough to play most of what I like anyway!)

2024.05.21 15:48 Ophelious0918 My 8 years old female Daschung suddenly refuse to go to her crate to sleep. Should I be worry ?

Some context: I had three Daschund. One of them grew old and die a natural death around two months ago. The remaining two are one 8yrs old female and one 6yrs old male. All of them are crate trained, I just need to call and they will go to their crate each night to sleep.
For the last two weeks the female dog refuse to go to her crate, even if I have to drag her to her crate and lock it. She will whine a lot and jump around, wanting to be let out. I try to ignore her for one week and it’s still the same. She will settle down for a couple hour but will return to her whining. She never bark while inside her crate.
She is in good health, eat well, play well only her sleeping has been an issue. I’m scratching my head here don’t know what to do. I will let both dog sleep outside their crate for today and see. But should I be worry because of this change in her behavior ?
An additional note: it is raining season in my country so we have rain almost every evening now. It has never been a problem for her for the past 8 years we have been together thought.

2024.05.21 15:48 NotWoke2024 SCAM WARNING: The Main 7-Eleven Near Pub Street in Siem Reap

Cambodia to me is just full of scams. From the Chinese-run crypto scam centers near the Thailand border, to the Cambodians not accepting worn USD, trying to swap your USD with fake bills, or just over charging foreigners.
Then there is the main 7-Eleven near Pub Street in downtown Siem Reap. Check the Google Maps Reviews for this place. The only 7-Eleven in the world that does not take credit cards. Cash only. They want cash only and will short-change you every chance they get and likely split the "stolen money" each day amongst themselves. Often if you pay with large USD notes, they will give you back some USD and some Cambodian Reil but it won't be the right amount. I realized later I was short changed and also over charged for my purchases. Something told me the price and change was off but silly me for thinking 7-Eleven is trustworthy and would not cheat me and damage their reputation. They never give you the receipt and even the little security guy is in on the scam if you think he will help you.
I won't be spending much money the rest of my trip. I don't trust anyone. I rented a scooter to transport myself around, will only pay in Reil, and won't be buying anything from the desperate shops and dirty kids. I will just eat and drive myself to free sites. This poor country can rot in hell.

2024.05.21 15:47 suddenstarz42 Let’s just be real about it

Billie Eilish’s new album is the album Taylor wishes she could make in her wildest dreams. It’s so full of layers of poignant meaning and reflections on the human condition. It is not self- absorbed, narcissistic, egomaniacal open mic poetry. Billie takes a look at the world around her and thoughtfully and powerfully explores its limitations and benefits. She holds a mirror up to society and lets us see it in a new way for the first time. Taylor cries about being miserable while becoming a billionaire and secretly fantasizing about other people besides her partner while also crying that he won’t ask her to marry him.
Billie Eilish also goes through an artistic evolution with her new album. It’s a clear step in a new direction that is also rooted in her previous discography. The sounds and tones and notes and melodies are a nod to the artist’s past while stepping into the artist’s future. Everything on it sounds fresh and new. TTPD is beyond trite because it is the exact same sound and melodies we’ve heard from Taylor for quite some time. It’s tired. It’s old. It shows that she has no real talent as a serious artist. She’s just a commodity to be bought and sold.
Lastly, Eilish’s album has clearly been through many extensive edits and revisions to whittle out the perfect album at the perfect length. Tay tay shitted out TTPD without taking away everything that needed to be edited out. Why? Because she can continue to rip off her fans with anything she shits out. She doesn’t care about the art or the music, just those damn dollars and making a SURPRISE release in the middle of the night.
Billie Eilish understands what artists strive for more than anything else, meaningful statements about the nature of life and the universe and humanity. Taylor the not tortured poet cares about herself and her money. And that’s why nobody will be talking about her 50 years from now and Billie Eilish will still be viewed as one of the best of her era.

2024.05.21 15:46 AlicesWonderland207 The Dark Side of Astral Projection?

Hello Everyone,
I am a Christian, and before you get scared off - hear me out. I am just here asking questions. Years back before I became a Christian, I was very interested in the CIA documents that were released to the public in 2003. I read every single page, analyzed, and took notes. In case you don't know what I am referring to, it is known as the Gateway Project. A project the government conducted to learn more about the nature and functioning of the human consciousness.
It talks about all the different methods they used to essentially remove a person's conscious-self from their physical body. As you all know, that very much is what astral projection is defined as. These documents are all available via Google, at least they were, if they were taken down I have a physical copy at home just in case.
Anyway, I digress. Years after learning about this, that it was even possible, I went on a spiritual journey. I was researching and learning about all different religions. I really became enthralled with the occult and trying to find out if it was real, and this ultimately lead me to the light. However, on my journey, I read this novel - "Out of the Devil's Cauldron". It is a true account about a former high-ranking warlock by the name of John Ramirez who came to Christ after being largely involved in the religion called Santeria. In the book John describes astral projection as a main channel that he and his brothers and sisters using the witchcraft practices would use to attack people. He states very simply in the book that astral projection is demonic and that the only thing cohabitating there are demons which are looking for humans to latch onto.
Anyhow, his account is very telling. This lead me to more research. I found many personal accounts of former witches and warlocks claiming the exact same thing. I understand this is a lot of information at once, and I'm not asking anyone to believe it. I just want you to hear my personal account of the information I've gathered over the years and the deductions I've made. Please know I am certainly not pushing Christianity on anyone.
I guess I wonder, are there people here who have encountered things during their projections that didn't feel inherently good with their spirit? Are there times you were scared or felt danger?
I'd love to start a conversation.

2024.05.21 15:45 _cloyed_ I'm cutting everyone off

I'm mentally and emotionally struggling for almost 5 months now. I prepared my suicide notes, but contemplated for my dogs (2) and now I'm trying to look in rehoming them. They're the only reason I haven't proceeded with every suicide plan I have. I tried asking for help from facilities but since I always give vague answers to my parents as to how am I feeling, because telling anyone else about what I'm going through is so damn hard. Now, they want me to stop going back to that facility stating that I am fine anyway. I also stopped the medication that I was prescripted with since I quit my job months ago and I have no money left.
I have no one to talk to, literally. I deactivated most of my social media accounts and just thinking of other ways to end my life. I want my misery to end.

2024.05.21 15:45 Rambooctpuss RYM Greatest Albums Of All Time: #151 Megadeth-Rust In Peace (1988)

RYM Greatest Albums Of All Time: #151 Megadeth-Rust In Peace (1988)
Megadeth-Rust In Peace
Megadeth always felt like Metallica’s lil brother even though in my eyes they have had just as much of an impact on the metal scene. Dave Mustaine knows how to write a heavy melodic groove and he is unapologetic in his beliefs and integrity of metal music. Some people complain about his voice but I always like it. Rust In Peace is considered their best album. I prefer their second album Peace Sells. Maybe someday we will get around and talk about that one. I am just happy a greatest album list includes metal music as lists like the Rolling Stone and Apple completely disregard the genre.
The album opens with “Holy Wars…The Punishment Due” right away that heavy dense Megadeth sound blasts out onto your speakers. The song is inspired by the Northern Ireland movement to break away from the UK. the song is also inspired by the Marvel Character The Punisher. “Hangar 18” has the chop[y fast riff that encompasses the whole song. The song of course is about the mysterious base in Arizona that is supposed to house UFOs. The chorus is one of the catchiest the band will ever record. This is top tier Megadeth. “Take No Prisoners” has this heavy dense speed metal groove. It is just unrelenting in its heaviness, a perfect title for this track. I think Take No Prisoners, Take No Shit is Mustaine’s mantra. “Five Magics” is one of the few times that Megadeth have ventured into fantasy lyrically. David Ellefson has some great bass lines on this track. “Poison Was The Cure '' tackles Mustiane’s alcohol and heroin addiction. “Lucretia” is about a ghost that lived in Mustaine attic who he would visit every night. It has these high end guitar tones that I love. “Tornado Of Souls” is about the breakup between Mustaine and his then fiance. Marty Friedman has one of the great metal guitar solos ever on this track. “Dawn Patrol” is a quick, dense track. Mustaine's voice is as low as it could possibly go and Elfefson bass and drummer Menza rhythms rule this track. The album closes with “Rust In Peace ...Polaris” addresses one of the band’s favorite topics: Nuclear destruction. Polaris is a type of nuclear missile. The title was inspired by a bumper sticker Munstaine saw that said may all your Nuclear weapons rust in peace.
If I am going to put together Metal albums everyone should listen to I am going to put this one near the top of that list. It deserves all the praise it gets plus more. These early Megadeth albums were so amazing. They hold up decades later. Metallica might get all the acclaim but Megadeth deserves credit of maintaining the workmen like consistency to the the thrash metal genre.
