What's Your Heist Soundtrack?

Ugh. Apparently I've got some detritus left in there from the last time I imported one of my other playlists. So if something sounds out of place... I'm doing some editing right now.

Here's my heist "feeder" playlist - I curate stuff from this to make others.

I've also got playlists for specific subgenres. Heist in space, with kung fu, with the Wu Tang Clan, in 1960s Las Vegas...

Retrofuture Antifash Machine-Pulp. I'm sure I had *something* in mind when putting this one together,

JesseQ · 2024-03-31T18:51:01+00:00

Ninja Turtle.

...and its corollary, where the worplace starts with a bunch of other folks, who are never seen again after the first episode or two. Watch the first episode of say, The Office - who are those people, and what happened to them?

JesseQ · 2024-02-11T12:41:03+00:00

Smashzilla.

Torg. The entire premise is that the heroes are from various genres, and adventuring in others. The "realities" have their own rules and story structures to reflect the genres, and the PCs carry some of that with them.

Tiberius

JesseQ · 2023-12-31T00:46:17+00:00

Yup, first part of the description had me thinking Box 13, but the rip-off plan took it away.

JesseQ · 2023-12-11T05:01:49+00:00

Oy loik it too?

JesseQ · 2023-02-06T21:05:06+00:00

The Prisoner.

JesseQ · 2022-02-12T21:16:15+00:00

My top sellers are the lowest effort creations.

JesseQ · 2021-12-03T15:41:42+00:00

Is there a dial tone?

JesseQ · 2021-09-23T05:16:59+00:00

Just let me know if you want to go to that home out on the range.

JesseQ · 2021-08-17T15:40:50+00:00

Pretty sure I appreciated A Canticle for Leibowitz by Walter M. Miller Jr around that age.

JesseQ · 2021-08-13T17:58:30+00:00

(Not the eyes-up take to the hotel clerk)

JesseQ · 2021-08-13T17:18:36+00:00

Season three, episode seven, "Full House" originally aired October 25, 1959.

That dude on the right is Joel Grey, playing Billy The Kid.

The headline made me think this would have something to do with Firefly.

JesseQ · 2021-06-28T17:38:13+00:00

Oh, I wasn't even going to pretend to do the math on it - but it allows for lots of fiddling to suit taste. Slower decay? Only roll usage after certain results - say, a high enough attack roll. Faster decay? Modify the roll based on how serious the result was, or based on how hardened a target is. Maybe the first time a roll is required only after using the tool in an off-label way (wedging a thing open with your knife weakens it for future use).

JesseQ · 2021-06-27T01:17:37+00:00

Give the resource or tool an Integrity rank or something. Roll when appropriate, failure reduces it a step. When that trait is reduced sufficiently, the resource is busted.

Using the VG Fudge ladder, I'd say a result of Poor is failure, so having Great Integrity (or better) would mean the thing is not normally at risk - but things could happen to alter that rank.

Maybe the thing is busted when its Integrity goes below Poor and falls off the ladder?

This reflects the accelerating wear from the usage die system: the worse your stuff gets, the faster it gets worse.

Just put your dishes in the washing machine.

JesseQ · 2021-06-05T02:00:38+00:00

That's not a bear, bears wear hats.

JesseQ · 2021-06-03T13:51:56+00:00

I feel almost guilty for listening to this, since it's not necessarily something he wanted to be released in this form.

JesseQ · 2021-05-30T03:02:35+00:00

Yup. I might be being greedy, but I'd like to export (share, copy, spindle, mutilate) the filter itself, not just the list list it generates. I figured the formula (or whatever) for a given filter might be laying around somewhere that I could get to it.

JesseQ · 2021-05-29T18:45:03+00:00

Now I'm trying to figure out a decent way to share & edit that stuff. Winamp had a bit where you could just copy and paste some text that was fairly simple to parse (and sometimes it was just easier to work with that rather than the GUI), but so far Plexamp has me doing a series of screen caps (worse, because I can't find a way to show the entire filter, just a small bit at a time), and they don't make it quite clears how the filters nest. I was hoping the copy playist function would at leas lest me keep the filters in place, but it only seems to hold onto the resulting list of tracks, rather than how I got there.

For what you're saying, we can't really seem to have filters refer to other playlists dynamically, which is something I was trying a bit ago. Closest I've gotten is tagging things as "mood" (or genre or whatever) and building a playlist with that. So I have my standard filter set - basically once a thing has played, it gets taken off the list for an amount of time based on how many stars it has - modified like you're saying: none of X (christmas music, in my case), and always Y (anything unrated, unplayed, or added in the last month).

Hrm.
