Mine certainly isn't. 6GB vram, 16gb ram.

Yes.

XD

Ooooh so excited to reach Vektor in my list!

Those vocals are brutal!

Love this!

Thanks SteelRabbit!

Thanks for your input. I see what you mean about nwobhm specific community, however to me that seems like having a community dedicated to only speed metal, a little unnecessary. To be completely honest, when I think of heavy metal, I'm really associating that with old-school heavy metal (as in style, not necessarily age), as opposed to just generic modern metal with no deeper subgenre associated. By all means that sorta stuff should just be posted to the generic metal community, along with newer, miscellaneous experimental stuff. I'm envisioning this community to be based around traditional-style heavy metal and like you mentioned, nwobhm. Could also be a cool place to find older hidden gems.

The way I see it, no harm done either way. If it doesn't gain traction, then it doesn't gain traction, nothing changes. However, I think it will be interesting to see the demand (or lack thereof) for this type of community.

Whilst I could create the community on a different instance, to me it makes more sense to have it on my home instance. Also it is more likely to gain traction on here, and it seems more logical to revive a dead community, then make a new one completely, under the same name. Long term, I think that works better than having a ton of dead communities under the same name on different instances, which is certainly sure to make the fediverse less user-friendly to newbies. Once the fediverse has a significant number of MAUs then we can worry about decentralising a little more. Anyway, I'm getting a little sidetracked here.

Assuming ownership is actually transferred to me in the first place, think I'm just going to go for it.

Thanks. I did consider trying to mod [email protected], since I know it has no active moderation (not a good position for a community, even with a small following), but it didn't feel right since my knowledge of the genre is comparatively limited. At least with heavymetal I have enough content to last at least a few months, posting at least every few days.

Idk anything about that. I understand most people post to [email protected], but it would be nice to have a platform specifically for heavy metal/nwobhm, rather than random non-specific tracks. I'm personally less knowledgeable about heavy metal than, say, thrash or death, but I too would be interested in what people could contribute, looking to learn more about it. I have enough to contribute initially to hopefully get it off the ground. I just wanna try to revive it and see where it goes. If people don't play ball in at least a few months, then what will be will be.

lmao, idk why no upvotes haha. I've only just got round to listening to it haha. Personally not a fan of it, vocals sound like a bad Halford impression. Also ig it is teetering on the edge of speed metal, the only possible reason I have for lack of upvotes. Might have done better in heavymetal community. It's a shame the only heavy metal community we have is dead. I might try to take over that community. Would you post there?
