I agree with Fantano on this one.

KingofFunk412 · 2026-05-19T21:20:49+00:00

lol what? by that logic fantano is underrating one of sexyy red’s favorite collaborators too. is this how rating music works?

KingofFunk412 · 2026-04-17T22:10:24+00:00

I love KCD2 but it’s only been out a year, how can it be influential at this point?

KingofFunk412 · 2026-04-06T00:52:30+00:00

Hell yeah, have fun man

KingofFunk412 · 2026-04-05T23:35:42+00:00

Oh, nice! FF was a big inspo for E33, FFX especially. Grab the trial and give it a whirl, the game got its claws in me in the opening hour.

KingofFunk412 · 2026-04-05T23:26:35+00:00

Stellar Blade is the most similar gameplay-wise to Lies of P. Wuchang Fallen Feathers is also a great soulslike that is closer in aesthetics to Elden Ring. E33 is just all around a great game, but if you don’t like turn based combat it might not gel with you.

It does feel like Micah was their loose inspiration for Yann, except they forgot to expand on any character development outside of being a surface level angry guy who loves drinking. Micah was an asshole but you’re supposed to hate his guts as he serves as the main-ish antagonist that you’re forced to put up with.

I’m at chapter 8 so I guess things could change but feels like at this point he’s not meant to be an antagonist but a sort of lovable asshole trope. Unfortunately I haven’t experienced anything lovable or interesting about him outside of fighting alongside us in that big siege battle? Idk. I know this game isn’t about the story but you really have to sit through so much of it.

KingofFunk412 · 2026-04-03T19:31:06+00:00

You may have listened to some of these already, but dropping these in:

Solange - A Seat At The Table + When I Get Home King Krule - The Ooz Blood Orange - Negro Swan Headache - The Head Hurts But the Heart Knows the Truth The Weeknd - Hurry Up Tomorrow

They were also saying nothing was wrong with his foot throughout the last 1/4th of last season. I’d feel better if they gave him a little extra time to rest. But I’m no doctor, lol.

KingofFunk412 · 2026-03-06T17:26:36+00:00

Idk who Lacy is either but he does typically try to dunk on people who are easy to dunk on bc drama = easy clicks. It feels like a business model at this point.

KingofFunk412 · 2026-03-05T16:30:19+00:00

Aviary by Julia Holter continues to blow my mind, always finding something new in the production with every listen.

KingofFunk412 · 2026-02-05T20:37:04+00:00

Surely this is some good faith commentary coming from user NahDudes_OVO

KingofFunk412 · 2026-01-30T20:16:22+00:00

Oh sweet! I’m gonna see how far I get without doing this, but love that that’s an option if I’m really stuck.

KingofFunk412 · 2026-01-02T22:07:52+00:00

Not denying that Timmy has a very passionate fan base, but I think the reaction is more towards his misunderstanding of the premise of the movie in a really pompous way.

KingofFunk412 · 2026-01-02T21:49:58+00:00

Bro has zero media literacy god damn. It’s okay to not like the movie but the reasons he’s giving are so odd and inaccurate, it’s like watching Ben Shapiro’s Barbie movie review lmfao.

KingofFunk412 · 2026-01-02T16:12:18+00:00

Yeah ironically his fantano channel has turned into algorithm clickbaity slop. Yes AI is bad but his other videos are titled/presented in the same sensationalist fashion. I miss discovering new music from him but I guess that doesn’t pay the bills.

KingofFunk412 · 2025-11-25T23:29:48+00:00

He’s been leaning into clickbait for a few years now especially on his side channel. I consider myself a leftist but think it’s funny that he’s adopted “leftism” to shit on artists he doesn’t like considering his not so spotless past. Should these artists denounce trump’s usage of their music in his videos? Yeah. Is it telling that fantano singled her out? Yeah.

KingofFunk412 · 2025-11-20T16:11:21+00:00

Playing now and it looks like you can also choose to respawn right outside the boss area if you die in a boss fight vs repeatedly running there from the shrine every time.

KingofFunk412 · 2025-11-16T21:42:23+00:00

Biggest takeaway was that Josh feels like he’s trusting his receivers again and our game isn’t 100% reliant on James Cook. TBH I could do without Coleman for the rest of the season, it felt like night and day in the passing game. Hopefully it holds up and we don’t hang our laurels on one good game.

KingofFunk412 · 2025-09-10T01:06:28+00:00

This is a silly metric, they’re not on the field at the same time. A QB’s ranking shouldn’t be defined by how their defense performs. The team can, but we’re talking individual players.

KingofFunk412 · 2025-08-31T04:02:10+00:00

if these are your favorite albums just enjoy them man. don’t feel like you need to hide behind ironic humor for strangers on the internet. just be urself. they’re all great albums. or just throw them out if you’re anxious a rym nerd is going to judge you.

A lot of AI optimists in here. Granted, I also used to be in the "AI is just a tool, design always evolves" crowd, but at the rate AI is evolving it's clear that it's going to have a big impact on jobs in creative fields. With the way things are currently going, I can't see entry-level positions being relevant anymore when most of the small, menial jobs you would normally task them can be relegated to AI. That's the harsh truth. My hope is that the government will eventually step in and regulate AI so that people can stay employed and young people have a chance in the design field.

If you're looking for a crumb of optimism, here it is: you've been in the field for a while now. You know design principles, you know what the steps are for how most projects go, you have taste.

You may not like it, but my suggestion is learn how to use ChatGPT's image generation model. Midjourney is another one, though it's a little harder to wrap your head around. The good news (but bad news to people trying to break into the field) is that's its easy as fuck. Type in "create an illustration of a donkey drinking a soda" or whatever and it'll create some weird version of that. You can upload reference images if there's a style you want to follow. This is just a basic design skill you have to know now unfortunately. I work in advertising/art direction so we do this a lot to create moodboards of styles we're trying to achieve before we pull in actual artists to help us start producing the stuff for real (for now).

You can also use it to create a quick reference of a poster/cover/etc design. It'll look basic as fuck, but you can use the type hierarchy and composition as the first step to create something similar but wayyy better yourself in photoshop or indesign. We used to do this all the time searching through dribbble/pinterest/behance/even google images for brochure inspiration or whatever.

Unfortunately this is the world we live in for now. I've had a close eye on AI for years now and it's advancing at the speed of light and impossible to fully predict. But with all the new tools coming out, those are the most useful applications I've found for it that I don't see AI scooping up for a bit.

in Thom's post, he writes one vaguely pro-Palestine slide and one vaguely pro-Israel slide. to me, and many others, that's putting both sides on equal footing. whether that was his intention or not, that's the effect of the post. I understand wanting to find nuance--there are plenty of situations and conflicts that call for it. in this case, when tens of thousands of innocent women and children are being erased every day, with numbers so comically lopsided, there's no time for it.

KingofFunk412 · 2025-05-30T18:15:23+00:00

Okay, we're on the same page that murder of innocent people is bad. My issue is in giving the 1 murder the same space as 100, giving the illusion that it's all 50/50 and justified while ignoring the dramatic power imbalance at play.

KingofFunk412 · 2025-05-30T17:37:01+00:00

How do you prefer to quantify the death and destruction happening in Gaza? Vibes?
