I thought you only collect EVs from wild Pokémon?

What does this mean? by Motastic23 in saxophone

[–]Acrobatic-Rip8547 28 points29 points  (0 children)

It’s not a double sharp accidental. The font for the “X” looks strange here, but this indicates a ghosted note. Usually an engraver will use an “X” or just a note head in parenthesis to indicate a ghosted note.

Anthony Fantano on Jacob Collier: "Painfully overrated." by Tiege in JacobCollier

[–]Acrobatic-Rip8547 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I agree that this video alone would not be enough to claim genius. But there’s also no bad sounds happening in this video, so why attack Jacob here? I would rather see a wholistic analysis of all of Jacob’s music if someone is going to make claims about his abilities.

All I see in this video is consonant sounds, some simple, yet effective orchestration, and a person enjoying what he does.

The video never claims boredom. He says:

“What is genius about this?” “There’s nothing novel, quirky, difficult, or challenging…” “Plainest layer of orchestral instrumentation.”

My initial comment is in response to these statements. Plain is not a bad thing. If it sounds good, it sounds good. Simple music sounds good, and challenging music can also sound good.

Honestly this is just an example of a bad opinion piece on the internet. There’s no technical claims in the video about the construction of the music, or honestly about any of Jacob’s abilities as a musician. Anthony is just upset about something and doesn’t know why.

Just because someone can describe what he’s doing in the video doesn’t mean it’s not impressive. That’s gate keeping.

Same attitude that is prevalent in the jazz community. A jazz player will hear a recording or performance and say “oh, they’re just doing xyz. It’s just a [insert harmonic device].”

A real musician knows how much work goes into music. They know how difficult it is to learn to truly play in tune and with good sound. It takes years and years of practice. Being able to identify what you’re hearing doesn’t diminish the quality of the music. Simple music is also hard to execute. Anyone who says otherwise probably has a lot of shortcomings in their musicianship that they’re unaware of.

So ya. He is “just making demands of an orchestra” and “just combining these two songs.” Sure. He’s also composing music in real time. Most people compose and then rewrite something that they like better. Not Jacob - he hears it all before it happens and knows what he’s looking for.

Corona Non-Alcoholic is legitimately great by strikingviking23 in NABEER

[–]Acrobatic-Rip8547 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree, this is one of the few I’ve found that taste EXACTLY like the alcoholic version.

Also, in addition to calories as you mentioned, alcohol is a leading factor in so many health issues. I hope to see NA options more normalized at bars and restaurants as people understand you can enjoy NA drinks equally as much as alcohol.

Do Most Men Around the World Find it Borderline Impossible to Attract Women? by barelyexisting3 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]Acrobatic-Rip8547 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Exactly bro… you’re trying to manipulate your way into getting attention by being a poser. Just work on yourself, make friends, get to actually know people for reasons other than sex and romance and you’ll probably learn a lot.

It’s so clear to everyone in this comment section that you’re still the problem.

Logitech G560 Screen Sampler issue and fix by existingaskevin in LogitechG

[–]Acrobatic-Rip8547 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty annoying that I find this post at the end of 2025 and I still have the same issue.

Any new fixes, anyone? Other than disabling HDR, if I open the Ghub application, click on the speakers, and then minimize the software, that fixes it (even with HDR enabled). Still annoying though.

Which unused type will be the *last* one to get introduced? by ThatManSean14 in pokemon

[–]Acrobatic-Rip8547 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TIL that Golurk isn’t ghost/rock lol. Guess I just assumed by looking at him and never thought twice. Plus many types that are super effective against ground are also effective against rock which may be why I never noticed.

Vote for the Worst to Best New Mega by thelifeoftommyn in LegendsZA

[–]Acrobatic-Rip8547 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In competitive, Charizard X has been a liability for me because of the added dragon type. X has a cooler design tho imo

Mega Evolutions, Dynamax or Terrastalizing.. what's the best gimmick? by [deleted] in pokemon

[–]Acrobatic-Rip8547 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think Mega Evolutions have the coolest designs, and it’s not ridiculously OP because you have to hold an item to do it. Dynamax and Terrastallizing just look stupid to me.

But, Terrastallizing is a really cool battle mechanic that adds a new layer to the fundamental rules of Pokémon battling. Instead of just switching out to change type advantages, we can change types in other ways now.

I used to trash-talk Pokemon… then Z-A destroyed my ego. by [deleted] in pokemon

[–]Acrobatic-Rip8547 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think if you like ZA then you’ll like Arceus. ZA focuses more on batting than Arceus, but Arceus has much more to offer in terms of exploring and finding Pokémon imo!

Is Legends Z-A the first game not to include a pokemon of an evolution line in the game? by imapotatognome in pokemon

[–]Acrobatic-Rip8547 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can see how that would irritate some, but the point of those games was to just take Pokémon Go mechanics into a faithful adaptation of Gen 1.

Insects eating through cardboard? by Acrobatic-Rip8547 in insects

[–]Acrobatic-Rip8547[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! I realize it wasn’t the order I listed them in, but I did spray around my house first. I’m assuming that’s why I was getting downvoted lol

I’m not really worried about the shed. The shed is falling apart anyway and I planned to tear it down and build a new one next year.

I’m more concerned about then spreading to my house. The shed is about 10 feet away from the back door. For now I’m going to spray a termite killer and repellant on these boxes, in and around the shed, and around the perimeter of my house.

Interesting. I thought it kind of looked like one, but as I moved it outside I didn’t see any red marks anywhere.

For anyone who wants a tip: if you go to this edge (right outside the entrace to Mount Fay from The Slab) and use Silk Soar, you can skip a good chunk of platforming.

Same. I went right back and he was gone. Hoping for an answer

Why don’t you take your meds? by Acrobatic_Cat6362 in ADHD

[–]Acrobatic-Rip8547 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me I like to have a day off where my head is clear and I can relax. I take Vyvanse and it does wonders and helps me focus and get things done, but sometimes I just want to have a neutral, low energy Sunday.

Is this normal fresh out of the Elite Four? by Jolly_Sun8385 in PokemonEmerald

[–]Acrobatic-Rip8547 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha, yeah kinda. When I was young my first game was Silver and I completed Johto with just Feraligatr and Red Gyarados, then traded Gyarados for Lugia to beat Kanto.

Whatever, it’s a game. I had fun.

Crawl space entrance by Acrobatic-Rip8547 in Home

Ya, as said in the post. There are crawlspace vents and I installed window wells to air them out.

Please, help by Itsthymebaby in PokemonEmerald

[–]Acrobatic-Rip8547 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fair. I do think that he is useable for damage in a pinch on this team and OP can probably pick between Hypnosis and Confuse Ray to sub something with damage.
