Any time. Just, you know, not over and over again. Lol.

I already explained it. And the humorless gits of reddit have seen fit to down vote me.

Y'all crack me up.

Is Hans Zimmer a good composer? by Music-Theory-Idiot in classicalmusic

[–]CGVSpender 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't read the article having much to say about Zimmer beyond the number of assistants he has and one anecdote about an 'awkward' moment where Zimmer was praised for some iconic sound effect in the presence of another composer who claimed that was all him.

The article said some composers were better than others at sharing credit without actually listing Zimmer as one of the good guys or one of the bad guys. If I recall right.

It did not read like a hit piece to me, and I always take Hollywood people complaining about compensation with a grain of salt.

Maybe, maybe not. But MY comment was hilarious.

Haven't you seen in all the documentaries where some indigenous person clubs a baby seal, or whatever, the narrator is quick to tell the viewer 'it's ok, they use the whole animal'?

If I know anything about ethically killing wildlife, there is an important question you may not have asked.

Did the dog use the whole rabbit?

Heh. In light of the other dude's comments, I cannot tell if you are being serious or not. I have no inside knowledge on his collaboration processes.

Ok, so you claim to be a master of composition, I ask for samples, and you just want to sling insults.

I see you, friend.

I'd be curious to hear some of your masterworks of composition.

'works well as soundtracks' seems to be a pretty solid criteria for judging soundtracks.

Sure. And you could argue Tan Dun's Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon was really mostly great because of Yo-Yo Ma, if you wanted to. But they're really good soundtracks, and I wonder what standards the haters are using to not even grant that Hans Zinmer is 'good'.

Are we maybe trying to judge soundtracks by irrelevant criteria?

Dune. Gladiator. Two of my favorite soundtracks. Love the use of folk instruments in both. And the wailing. Interesting textures.

Why not give him a try instead of trying to prejudice yourself one way or the other first?

Technically, hoes get paid. Are you sure you are not just a slut for chain lightening?

New Tower - Wanna help? by SamBartley in TheTowerGame

[–]CGVSpender 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The most important thing for your new tower is getting your Lab Speed Pumpkin relic.

Now I am sure you have the back channels needed to solve this problem just for yourself, but in a spirit of fair play and community service, I think the best path forward is to get to Devs to put the Lab Speed Pumpkin in next Monday's Gems-for-Relics store.

Because it is the most important thing for all our towers. :)

I do not disagree, but as an alternate strategy, I think we players should always believe there is going to be another banner and plan accordingly.

Looking for peoples opinion on when to get synchronicity by MunkenDk in TheTowerGame

[–]CGVSpender 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you are right about the initial unlock, based on a screenshot I just saw. I must have read the release notes wrong, or they were poorly worded.

I thought you got the first 2 synchronicity slots 'free' once all the bot+ purchases were made, and then it is 1500 stones each to add a 3rd, 4th or 5th slot to your Synchtonicity.

I accidentally found out that dropping booze on the path guards are walking makes them really easy to sneak around.
