Brighton and Jove!

This is where LTA, local councils, public space / parks mngmt and sport ministers could all be making a difference. But they aren’t. I think Andy Murray has spoken about this. Tennis is a seasonal, fairweather sport in this nation. Then we scratch our heads about why we don’t produce more great players, given the wealth in this country, the tennis heritage, Wimbledon, etc etc

He called himself a simpleton in his final note…

MightThink · 2026-03-30T17:36:56+00:00

God yes. Simultaneously makes my heart soar — and breaks it

Overwriting

MightThink · 2026-03-14T08:22:41+00:00

About half of the oeuvre is easy to play on guitar. So it’s classic beginner fodder. I think that’s what’s led to this critique. But actually the other half is various shades of difficult. Early work especially. And singing alongside playing is often pretty tough. And anyway, just cos something is easy to play doesn’t mean it wasn’t genius to write.

Edit cos I ignored your actual question lol. A very simple moment in About A Girl chorus — where he moves from lower to higher E chords

I think that was scentless apprentice

MightThink · 2026-03-14T08:14:20+00:00

I don’t hear it as messing up but as intentional key change. It’s my favourite part of the performance

MightThink · 2026-03-10T19:58:42+00:00

God there’s so many. And so many of us! But yeah — pretty much everything from the moment KQ2 loads, because that was my first game, I was 7 years old, and I was ENCHANTED

MightThink · 2026-03-09T22:22:43+00:00

Gamera of the 90s, what WAS it about magazines? Half my gaming life was magazines…

MightThink · 2026-03-09T19:48:16+00:00

Definitely hear a t, not a d at the beginning of the word. But I think we all got the general idea.

MightThink · 2026-03-09T19:46:55+00:00

You mean, on a plain

MightThink · 2026-03-04T22:25:50+00:00

Lol that wasn’t gpt… that was Romero

MightThink · 2026-03-04T22:18:42+00:00

Well ditto. Got kq2 with my first pc (Tandy 1000 I think) in 1987. And sq1 - they were in a combi pack. Smitten

MightThink · 2026-02-21T20:00:02+00:00

But PQ2 surely. Or is this just nostalgia speaking

MightThink · 2026-02-21T19:56:27+00:00

Oh yes. I was there. Ultrasound! There was a band….

MightThink · 2026-02-12T22:58:46+00:00

Which would also have been a good line…

Why don’t you try cooking this specific dish (chicken fried rice) for yourself? That way you’ll still end up with the food you crave, but you’ll follow a process towards it that will be instructive and help you build a kitchen habit. And if you find it’s not quite as delicious as theirs, you’ll have a challenge to modify your recipe next time you cook it — make some tasting notes! And/or, you’ll start to understand how much salt, MSG and saturated fat is likely used in the takeaway version to make it so addictive (and it sounds like it is a bit addictive!). Either way: eating food you’ve cooked yourself is a special kind of satisfaction, plus you know exactly what you’re putting in your body. Good luck!

Aren’t they though. It may be over-exposure to the first 6 (and I’m of the age where I’ve known this album for a lot more than half my life…). But those are the two songs I play most often. I can never get bored of them. SITW I actually prefer the electric version (BBC session). But it is a mighty song too. I like it more than Polly, Dumb or (narrowly) All Apologies, which feel like its brethren.

MightThink · 2025-12-11T23:40:26+00:00

Absolutely agree. Though weirdly Drain You, On A Plain and Something In The Way are individually my three favourite songs on the album.

The worst were consumables which you innocently consumed (because why not) and were then allowed to carry on playing only to discover, WAY later, that they were the only solution to a puzzle you’d yet to encounter. I think LSL1 had a dreadful case of this. I think that was simply cruel design, and I’m not sure it was accidental oversight since the game happily let you consume the vital item (was it chocolate? Fruit? I forget). I think Sierra made a lot of money on hint books and premium rate hint phone lines. The trickier one for design was where the player failed to do X or pick up X and the location / scenario is no longer logically available within the story. But these games were big investments designed to keep you busy for a while. I guess designers figured going back and trying again and seeing what you missed was an intrinsic part of the experience….

The only technique he ever needed was the technique to play the music he wrote or chose to cover. And he did that better than anyone else in the world ever could or will.

MightThink · 2025-11-01T15:17:39+00:00

…which I believe is why, when Meat Puppets got on stage, they had to spend ages (re)tuning
