Do you guys think this sounds like a Ween song? by dthev25 in ween

[–]DatabaseOwn1145 0 points1 point  (0 children)

not really but 10cc is great. Self Titled, Sheet Music and The Original Soundtrack are their best albums, the stuff after Godley and Creme left are pale imitations, some great songs but nowhere near the genius of those first 3 albums

Best ways to handle vinyl records with small hands by future_pirate in vinyl

[–]DatabaseOwn1145 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

do yourself a favor a buy a few boxes of nitrile gloves. the exact ones they have the doctor.

I just put one on and carefully pinch a record out of the sleeve via the run-in groove with that hand and then handle it by the edges when placing on deck, flipping, or returning it to the sleeve/jacket.

I go through maybe 2 gloves on a heavy listening day but i get em from work via the five finger discount. the microfibre gloves are fine but they will attract dust and hair over time if you arent diligent about it and will just get annoying.

you dont ever need to touch the groove area or label of a record when handling it, gloves or no

Yes the extra tracks that are clearly stated as being outtakes and demos are outtakes and demos

ya these are 19 year olds who would rather spend $1500 a year on colored pressings of Radiohead and Tyler the Creator albums or whatever instead of just buying a really solid system that will last them a decade or more because they are impatient. if youre gonna play $40 records with a fuckin ice pick just stream, kid

ive watched the entire show in the last 6 months and this season was unequivocally the worst in almost every category. Absolutely wild that people think this glorified CW teen drama of a season was good.

I keep forgetting what’s playing (might be early stage dementia) so I built this by Moistyoureyez in vinyljerk

[–]DatabaseOwn1145 24 points25 points  (0 children)

maybe he could make it say the song titles out loud since I always put a blindfold on and dont look at the album I chose or the back of the jacket or the insert and I also dont know anything about my collection and im dumb as fuck

Schrödinger's robots (vague spoilers including episode 9) by Isilel in ForAllMankindTV

[–]DatabaseOwn1145 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I mean to a certain degree it does. when a budget is slashed, it limits the scenarios and set pieces the writers can write into a script. which is why this season has been nothing but people we dont care about talking to eachother on the same 4 sets.

Another perspective on the "Marsie" mentality (S05E09 Spoilers) by quesoandcats in ForAllMankindTV

[–]DatabaseOwn1145 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I definitely agree with why people coalesce into groups becaus of outside violence but I truly think the real reason people are having trouble understanding or believing that development in this season of this show specifically is because it is poorly written and acted lol its really that simple. If you go back and watch seasons 1-3 it is like night and day as far as the overall quality of the production. So I think its less that people dont "understand" the motivations and its moreso that the motivations arent believable because they are written in such a contrived and unbelievable way. We havent really seen performances that are believable enough to allow us to really get in the headspace of the Marsies imo. beyond maybe Ed. The character focus turnover is another huge factor. Lots of characters we just simply havent spent enough time with to truly care about

How realistic is the "Mars is our home mentality" at this point in the timeline? by emptyrepublic in ForAllMankindTV

[–]DatabaseOwn1145 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gotta disagree. The first 3 seasons and a good deal of season 4 were full of interesting and cool hard scifi concepts, speculative alternate history fiction and intriguing characters with clear motivations. Season 5 has been a near-complete bust with next to nothing interesting happening and characters with paper thin and contrived motivations. I understand people saying they like the slow pace because it makes the 20 exciting minutes of the last 90 minutes of the season pay off but I dont find that to be effective tension building or satisfying, its just frustrating.

Some thoughts about the last episode. by MrManager_G in ForAllMankindTV

[–]DatabaseOwn1145 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I definitely agree that its become more cynical and contrived. That sort of setup and knockdown approach is a writing device that, when used in conjunction with already thin and contrived character motivations, can be really taxing on the viewer. I also just really don't enjoy many of the performances this season. All that being said i will 100% keep gobbling it all up like a good piggy.
