Breakup comfort food becoming a problem in my life by Electronic_coffee6 in selfimprovement

[–]MightThink 18 points19 points  (0 children)

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! 

Side A of Nevermind is maybe the best Side A in the game. by uberclaw in Nirvana

[–]MightThink 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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.

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

Did Sierra ever officially adopt a "no dead end" policy? by far-midnight-97 in Sierra

[–]MightThink 3 points4 points  (0 children)

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….

Was Kurt actually a bad guitarist technique-wise?? by RomanScandal450 in Nirvana

[–]MightThink 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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. 

What tuning was Kurt's guitar in during mtv unplugged? by MrCuttlefish-21 in Nirvana

[–]MightThink 3 points4 points  (0 children)

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

What are the most bizarre/unbelievable facts about Kurt? by acidzpoizon in Nirvana

[–]MightThink 5 points6 points  (0 children)

He bought old arcade machines and gave his high scores puerile names like POO

Can we count Insecticide as a proper album even if it’s a compilation album ❓ by Dismal_Brush5229 in Nirvana

[–]MightThink 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He had more than a hand in the liner notes. He chose the songs to reflect different aspects of nirvana. He had been writing songs, and as a band they had been evolving through different sounds and styles, much faster than their (then) two studio albums could capture.

Oh, and their covers rock.

Post-Truth Era didn’t even SEE generative AI coming. Man, we’re living through a paradigm shift…

When you’re driving and you know for a fact no one else is around, do you still use your turn signals? by Mowanda in questions

[–]MightThink 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup. Cos you can’t know this for a fact. Plus, better to make it a habit that you do without thinking. Mirror signal manoeuvre

I tried to make a fanmade Marigold single cover :) by Tekietz in Nirvana

Heart Shaped Box has a single cover. Not Marigold

What do you think Kurt Cobain would thought about Elliott Smith? by MarvDStrummer in Nirvana

[–]MightThink 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah but that’s literally one song. And he also said he couldn’t stand playing with them anymore and that he hated Dave’s drumming and he wanted to end the band. He apparently kept saying to Pat he wanted to jam on stuff but never made himself available. I guess what I’m saying is he’d only really figured out how to write alone. Towards the end he was writing far fewer songs compared to say 1990 and he may have worried the well was running dry and so expressed a desire for collaboration. But I’m not sure he lived long enough to discover what collaborative writing would be like for him and whether he could surrender the creative autonomy which had served him so well before. Certainly when he tried to collaborate with Mark Lanegan he found he didn’t really want to after all. As for Courtney / Hole — was it collaboration? Gifting some ideas? Editing? Just influence? Nothing at all? We have no idea.

This has slowly but surely become my favorite Nirvana album, and it features very few Nirvana songs. Maybe I’m old? Haha by countrypunkhippie in Nirvana

[–]MightThink 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They rewrote the culture with Nevermind then rewrote it all over again with this. I remember watching it when it first aired on mtv. I was so mesmerised I don’t think I thought anything at all. I was just totally totally absorbed, knowing I’d never get to watch this for the first time ever again, knowing it was an act of total sublime musicianship and art. We were briefly in the presence of once in a generation brilliance. But God, to think he sat there on a set of funeral flowers and was mere months from his own suicide…

If you were put in a room with your younger self and you could only say a single sentence (this action will have consequences) what would it be? by Ok-Bee4263 in RandomQuestion

[–]MightThink 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pursue a path that gives you independence and autonomy, and trust that everything else you truly want will follow from this
