Heck, I want one of their songs to be the theme song to a show I’m working on. It just fits too well.

Same! Discovered it in 8th grade and kept it for a few years of highschool before I forgot about it.
Imagine if you could hire them to write/perform an original theme song. I hope to do that with Natewantstobattle (as well as have him voice one of my characters), so far I’d say this is my favorite Skillet song:

I’m sick, though I’m getting over it. Should be good in a day or so. Still spending most of my time lying in bed though.

Still learning to drive, though that’s been in pause while I’m sick. I’ve just been breeding egg move Pokémon to get ready for the dlc expansions, while also trying to determine who the most likely Pokémon to get into the second fighters pass would be.
It took me a while to learn how to drive. Just be patient with it and practice as much as you can.

I actually got to see them live once when my dad dragged me to the National Youth Gathering (the only good time I had on that trip).

Here's a very old story I found about a bell named "Big Joe".
The story of "BIG JOE"
What the bell looks like seen here.
BigJoe718x566.jpg

On October 30, 1895, the largest bell in America was cast. The clapper alone weighs 640 pounds. The weight of the bell itself is 27,390 pounds, the weight of the mountings takes the total weight to 35,000 pounds. The bell hangs in the tower of St. Francis de Sales Roman Catholic Church in Cincinnati, Ohio, and when installed was the largest swinging church bell in the world.

Big Joe has been tolling the hours and calling parishioners to St. Francis de Sales in Cincinnati, Ohio for nearly 120 years. The largest swinging bell ever cast in the United States, Big Joe occupies an entire floor of the Church’s 230-foot stone steeple. Big Joe is named after Joseph T. Buddeke, a St. Francis de Sales parishioner who was the largest donor towards its casting and installation. The cost of the project was between $12,000 and $15,000 (a very large sum in 1895). BIG JOE was intended to be equal in size and a replication of Big Ben in London. The only difference between the two bells is that Big Ben never did swing.

BIG JOE was raised into the belfry by horses.
The awesome task of casting Big Joe was bestowed upon the E.W. VanDuzen Company, a well-known foundry on Second Street at Broadway in Cincinnati. On October 30, 1895, the largest church bell in America was cast. It took 41 minutes to pour the metal. The bell measures seven feet from rim to crown, with a diameter of nine feet at the base. It weighs an enormous 35,000 pounds. The clapper alone weighs 640 pounds. When completed, it required 14 horses to haul Big Joe up Gilbert Avenue to St. Francis De Sales Church.

BIG JOE at St. Francis de Sales Parish
From there, the story of Big Joe remains somewhat of a mystery. Legend has it that Big Joe was rung for the first time in early January, 1896. People say its E-flat peal could be heard for a 15-mile radius. It rattled nearby buildings, shattering windows in the neighbourhood. Alvin Harlow, a Cincinnati historian, said: “It was installed, it swung, and all of Walnut Hills nearly jumped out of its collective skin. The earth trembled, windows nearby broke from the concussion, and tiny bits of cement were seen falling from between the stones of the church tower.”

After just one ringing, the story goes, it was decided that Big Joe must never swing again, so the Church immobilised the bell. Now, a Verdin foot hammer strikes the edge of the bell, just as it has for the past century. Albeit more quietly, Big Joe still does his job. At 6:00 a.m., 12:00 noon, and 6:00 p.m., BIG JOE rings The Angelus, the Westminster chimes and hour strikes, and funeral tolls. Four smaller bells are mounted on the floor above and join in on the ringing. The Verdin Company has provided the service and maintenance for Big Joe and the peal of bells at St. Francis de Sales for decades.

Me: "To a hundred acre field. We shall build a house for him where he shall reside. Year round people will come to gaze at his wonder and majesty. Then exactly twice a year the walls shall be opened, and Big Joe shall be rung in all his glory, so the world may tremble at his voice."
(I could make a religion out of this.)

That’s a good one too. I’d love to see them in concert one day.

I was about to say the song I posted perfectly describes the relationship between two of my characters though I realized I haven’t named one of them yet and I should probably get that figured out soon.

Since we're talking skillet, here's my favorite skillet song:

How has driver's training been? Has it been ok?

I'm guessing most likely is one of the ones in the starter evo family lines.

I haven’t driven anything yet, I don’t trust myself lol

I’ve just been studying traffic signals and road signs and everything else in these driving books I’ve got. If I’m lucky I’ll start training in March.

Yeah definitely. But unlike last gens there’s no one standout, all three feel pretty likely this time.

Okay, so, I was about to buy RE:Mind for KH3, but now I'm reading reviews for it, and, uh...

For what is DLC priced for $30? Yiiiiiiiikes. Any Kingdom Hearts fans here have any takes on it?

Try to practice every other day for an hour at least. That's the frequency I had. And, my father was an excellent teacher.

If you want to be a good driver asap, you gotta be dedicated.

if you arent so sure about it, Id say go watch some streams. Plenty of people have the Re:mind DLC right now. Of course that means getting hit with spoilers for you bit thats the only way I can think you could form your own opinion

Probably gonna have to do that, yeah.

I mean, worst comes to worst, I'll grab it on a sale sometime and grab some Three Houses DLC instead.

I’ve heard of them, but hate em. I don’t like half of the mainstream artists because of their style of music.
I'm similar admittedly. I'm not as much of a fan of the big artists. Outside of Game OSTs and Anime songs the only thing I do like is 80s/90s stuff.

Hey what’s the deal with that dlc? Do we know if you need to beat the game before accessing it?

Cuz I’m in the beginning of another play through, and I’m not gonna download the dlc if I can’t use it for another couple weeks.

Correct me if I'm wrong was it said that the second Season Pass would be available upon Byleth's release?

Bought $35 yesterday at the mall for that reason.

Well what’s his deal? What’s he about?
He’s a Fire spirit who was partnered with a human magic user who pushed them both to their limits and wound up critically injuring them both. He bounced back but it cost the user her arms, his guilt caused him to cut himself off from the ability to form pacts with magic users by crafting his own weapon and anchoring his power to it, though spirits who do this are seen as dangerous and an act of rebellion, so he became a wanted fugitive until my main character Lena approaches him along with the same magic user to join her team as a way of getting him out of hot water. After a duel, he and his former partner reconcile and the two join Lena’s team.

You need clear save data.

I'd definitely reccomend reading up on the content before you buy, though. Because from what I've been reading right now, most KH fans like it but are feeling it's definitely overpriced at $30. Only get it if you're okay with the main draw being ultra-hard boss fights, because the new story content apparently reused a bunch of content and is basically just 3-5 extra hours added to the game's finale segment.

Basically, Limit-Cut is the main draw here, but you need to decide for yourself if $30 is too much for some new boss fights that are supposedly super hard.

I was talkin about the fire emblem dlc :)

Good advice though, I’ll remember it if I ever get a PS4 and Kingdom Hearts.
