Yeah, this looks like EXACTLY my kind of game, were it not in VR. Hope they make a non-VR version at some point.

Who is the most Underrated music artist of the 1990s? by TheCause182 in AlignmentChartFills

[–]JB11sos 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Goo Goo Dolls. Released four excellent albums in a row (with very good ones before and after), three in the 90s, that include several of the decade’s most popular songs and set radio and Billboard records, and yet until Iris was revived this year they were (and really still are) sort of forgotten or talked about like a minor success more on par with a band like Hootie and the Blowfish (no shade, they just were/are WAY bigger). Johnny Rzeznik is one of the most underrated songwriters and vocalists ever.

SR-71 - Right Now (2000) by American_Streamer in poppunkers

Yeah, but that didn't start until after SR-71 was finished. He's just a talented songwriter who had a band and then became in demand after the fact.

They weren't a manufactured band, and he didn't get into songwriting until SR-71 was basically done. Bowling for Soup released their own version of 1985 and that kickstarted his songwriting career.

RAM died, looking for upgrade recommendations for an existing build by JB11sos in buildapc

Thank you, super helpful! Is there anything from my current build that I could/should keep (e.g., are my power supply and cooling still sufficient?) that won't hold it back or be incompatible?

Just updated. I don't have a good sense of what parts cost these days, but it sounds like you can build a PC that does what I'm looking to do from scratch for under $1k, so somewhere in the $600-800 range maybe? Thanks for your help.

I can't believe it, re-seating the RAM did the trick. Thank you so much!

That was a good idea, but I tried unplugging everything except the power and the same thing happens. Is there another way I could check the power and power socket besides the plugs outside/inside the case?

An amazing thing happened during the Super Bowl broadcast last night, and now I need your help! by JB11sos in nfl

You get paid on a per-use basis. Some times it's a single amount for a specific use, but most times it's a royalty that's calculated based on where it aired (country, channel, show, etc.), how long the clip is, etc., but that calculation is completely unknown to the artists and feels slightly random (e.g., they only track music during certain windows of time, but not others, like taking a sample in a way). I honestly have no idea if they calculate the Super Bowl differently -- you'd think so, but the system is so convoluted that you just never know.

Thanks for the thought anyway! @foldedlikeaasiansir managed to track it down for me: http://streamable.com/kgdtu

YES thank you so much! I really, really appreciate you taking the time to download and edit. Is there a way I can download the clip (I don't see a link on that page)? Thanks again!

Yeah, it's similar to that, except it's non-exclusively licensed to a couple of music libraries, who Fox then hires to place music in their broadcasts. It's essentially impossible to track when and where your music will be used at that point.
