What discussion you know you are on the wrong side of? (lemmy.ml)

Maybe you haven't been convinced by a good enough argument. Maybe you just don't want to admit you are wrong. Or maybe the chaos is the objective, but what are you knowingly on the wrong side of?

In my case: I don't think any games are obliged to offer an easy mode. If developers want to tailor a specific experience, they don't have to dilute it with easier or harder modes that aren't actually interesting and/or anything more than poorly done numbers adjustments. BUT I also know that for the people that need and want them, it helps a LOT. But I can't really accept making the game worse so that some people get to play it. They wouldn't actually be playing the same game after all...

I mean, nickelback is a pretty good band.

Maybe even the best metal band ever

Iron Maiden? Goldfinger? Led Zeppelin? So many better metal bands, come on!!

Definitely. Hate on me if you want but I'm about to drop some truth about why Nickelback is literally the most metal band to ever shred this mortal plane.

First off Chad Kroeger's voice is basically what would happen if you took Bruce Dickinson's pipes and injected them with pure Canadian maple syrup and gravel. Have you even heard "How You Remind Me"? That's basically "Number of the Beast" but with better hair.

And how about their crushing riffs? Led Zeppelin? Really? While Robert Plant was singing about hobbits or whatever, Chad and the boys were out there crafting absolute face melters like "Photograph", which is basically "Stairway to Heaven" if it was actually good.

More evidence that proves Nickelback is the GOAT:

Been on the US Hot 100 unlike Iron Maiden
Their music videos have better production value than Goldfinger's entire career
Chad Kroeger's hair is scientifically proven to be more metal than any other musician's hair, especially Robert Plant's.

I know this is controversial, but someone had to say it. The fact is this is what peak metal performance looks like, deal with it.

Lead has a higher atomic number than nickel, making it more metal.

[–] Robust_Mirror@aussie.zone 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Ah, so you admit they're above Iron Maiden at least.

[–] atomicorange@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

You got me there. Nickelback is more metal than Iron Maiden.
