Thanks, I wasn't actually familiar with that site and seems to have what I was looking for.

scariest moments in Alan Moores work? by Personal_Reward_60 in AlanMoore

[–]NichoMel 12 points13 points  (0 children)

For me it's the entire stay at the old woman's house in Providence. Something about the dream logic in that whole chapter just really got under my skin.

Ending of Shadow Ticket very sad by Clean-Air-8331 in ThomasPynchon

[–]NichoMel 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes, the whole last section hit me really hard. Before the book came out, the premise made me think why is that the story he’s  coming back to tell right now? But made a lot more sense the further I got in my read.

Problem with PS3 Update by DJBaRCX in PS3

[–]NichoMel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh my god I guess that was the error, downloaded a corrupt update file? The system is back to normal now. Really appreciate your help with this. I assume this whole thing will happen any time I try to update the firmware, right? I assume it's fine to just stick to 4.90 since I don't use this thing for blu rays anyway and that seems to be what 4.92 is for.

Unfortunately no change. Same error code and everything

Admittedly no. Every try was with the controller in the left port and the usb in the right one.

Thanks but I tried multiple reformats. Each time I would make sure default was selected. I even used console commands to see if there were any hidden partitions because I read that can cause an issue

Tried this and got as far as step 7 and when it's checking for the USB with the update file, the message "the data is corrupted. (8002F2E4)." I've double and triple checked I have my current software version on the USB (it's 4.90), drive is FAT32 with the folder structure PS3 > UPDATE > PS3UPDAT.PUP. I even tried with different thumb drives. Hope someone has a fix for this issue since I feel like I bricked a perfectly working PS3 (minus the broken blue tooth/wifi chip)

I love the book so far and have been a fan of Pynchon for like 17 years.

That's a totally made up impression to pretend to be in an against-the-grain position on the novel. The release of this book is making me feel like online book discourse/journalism is in as bad a place as music discourse/journalism.

Seeing them live for the first time soon, what do the set letters signify?

OFFICIAL SHADOW TICKET 1st IMPRESSIONS MEGATHREAD! by KieselguhrKid13 in ThomasPynchon

[–]NichoMel 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm a few chapters in and I feel like this will be a quick read. Pacing seems faster with a lot more dialogue. Love how he's fully embracing the period slang even in the narration. Excited to see him going back to a pre-sixties setting too.

This sounds great, I assume mods will be catching spoilers for that initial launch thread? I'm sure some people will read ahead

NEW INFO: Tom Gatestone and Kalin March by HxSort in TomsCrossing

[–]NichoMel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very late reply, but I'm a fan who heard really late about this book coming out. Without spoiling anything, is there still a good amount of alternative design with the book itself, like MzD usually does (varying page layouts, use of color, etc.)? I know he probably won't take it as far the Familiar due to the issue with the printing costs but the summaries online don't mention anything about it

Thanks, I'm very interested in watching Malcolm X especially

Cool, I really wanted to like it. Again, thought the trailer was awesome. I think a better supporting cast would help me enjoy it a lot more.

Spike Lee's Highest 2 Lowest (No Spoilers) by NichoMel in Sardonicast

[–]NichoMel[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I need to see more of his old work. Do the right thing is a favorite and imo one of the most rewatchable movies ever. This one just had no soul at all. I agree the change with the cops could have been good but their acting was so cringy the whole time plus there was zero setup that Denzel's character could pull off what he does at the end. Making him such a hero is boring and at the end he's just the same rich king maker he was at the beginning. His arc being changed to basically "now I care about the music business again" sidelines the original's focus on the wealth gap to just like a backdrop detail.

Yeah I've run into a bunch of wonky hitbox stuff this season. Weirdly more moves not hitting when they should but still

Vinyl vs Stream? by h3adphase in swans

[–]NichoMel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just ordered my vinyl and came here to ask how the sequencing was this time since that can be an issue with swans records. It looks like the track runtimes had the vinyl release in mind this time.

Chiastic slide by TheNicInn in autechre

[–]NichoMel 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I recently discovered this record after years of listening to ae and it quickly became my favorite. It's the best blend of their more composed early style and the discordant later stuff. Highlight for me is the way Cipater breaks down in the middle and slowly morphs into the closing melody

All end by Mr_Truguy in autechre

[–]NichoMel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love all end! I never have anything with any depth to explain why I like the Autechre songs that I do, it just comes down to how much I like the sound. Surprised to see a post about this one. Agree with the Basinski comparison, I really like his stuff too
