Re: Do you live with your mother?
Your sentiment is admirable but what you're asking for is too idealistic. There would be no janitors, dentists (I know...), cashiers, and insurance agents if we all had the mindset that loving our job and being fulfilled from it would be a prerequisite. We would all end up being musicians, artists,...

Re: Do you live with your mother?
Hobby: an activity or interest pursued for pleasure or relaxation and not as a main occupation. Occupation: a person's usual or principal work or business, especially as a means of earning a living. Recording an album is not something I'd consider to be a leisurely activity. :lol: It's a lot of work...

Re: Do you live with your mother?
Well, it goes without saying that if they are your parents and they are covering your rent, groceries, bills, and pocket money (or some subset of those), you do (morally) owe them something, in light of the vast benefits you receive. I'm indebted to them more than just morally, actually. :shock: I ...

Re: Do you live with your mother?
What type of job would you go for, Z? Whatever job that I decide to create for myself. I only wish to work on what interests me and I do not wish to work for somebody just for a paycheck. There needs to be passion involved, otherwise I'll be completely miserable. I've never had a paying job. I've b...

Anybody have failed attempts at being independent? I've never tried, myself, and for a good reason...

Re: What are you playing?
Sorry, never played it. I knew a kid in middle school who used to play it frequently, though. Cod4 was my back-in-the-day game, along with Halo 3 (around middle school age). Ah, good times!AAAAAAAAAA wrote: ↑Sat Oct 03, 2020 9:33 pmWhat do you guys think of Counter Strike? I used to play 1.6 quite a bit, back in the day.

Re: Do you live with your mother?
Some cultures its the norm. Good point. Yeah, in the US, it tends to be looked down upon. Personally, I don't really care where, or with whom, people are living. The way I see it, it's very economical to share the household with others. The biggest plus is I don't have to pay my own property tax (i...

Even worse... What if he makes an onlyfans and it becomes really popular? Then he'd say, "I've finally payed back all my debts. Not by working, but by twerking."

But Tony Kakko was (and probably is) a World of Warcraft fanatic. Jani was also a gamer. I remember he was a huge fan of Mass Effect. Yeah. If I recall correctly, Tony was playing WoW when his friend(s) suggested the name, The Days of Grays , to him. He was originally going to name the album, Death...

Re: What bands / albums do you recommend?
Let me know what you think if you have time. I listened to the whole album just now. The production is phenomenal, no doubt. That guitar tone, in particular, is incredible (both rhythm & lead). The drums are poppy, punchy, & articulate. Vocals are placed very well. Great balance of treble, mids, an...
