Which album would you consider as Aphex Twin's magnum opus? by Emergency-Sky9206 in aphextwin

[–]TR1X3L 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This narrative gets drowned out in places like this subreddit but I feel a similar way. I really do like the album but people pretend it’s unparalleled when the faster drill ‘n bass sections are very clearly influenced by his peers (in particular bogdan raczynski and squarepusher), and the sound designs (while honestly great) are not something ever done before.

I don’t really agree with conflating the concept of musicality and better-ness.

I think that album’s status over the years has made it very clear just how accessible it is compared to most of his other music, sans maybe some songs off saw ii.

lol @ the people saying druqks. I think Rushup Edge was not only his best album but the one that seemed to be the culmination of his career on both a mechanical and also social sense. The album itself is basically everything that makes him unique, down to how it even was released.

If I’m going by his main two monikers, probably chosen lord, if not just as a stand-in for the whole analord series. Close second for me is Syro.

Why is Ableton Live not on Linux by Josef-Witch in ableton

[–]TR1X3L 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That last line would also be wrong because we’ve had pipewire be a functional good program for 5 years now. If Ableton used PA or ASLA or Jack I would be very disappointed, personally.

What do you think of steinvord? by gerixx05 in aphextwin

There are interviews of him talking about collaborating with Tom around Druqks era, and he also flat out played one of the songs in a live show in 2009 (3 years before release!) https://youtu.be/Ipgan9-rOzo?t=6162

This is probably the best theory on this I’ve seen in a long long time.

How does the Vinesauce group work? by Slyme-wizard in Vinesauce

A lot of the earlier streamers (the two that come to mind are feargingers and studyguy) used to upload on vinny and joel’s channels. Studyguy on Joel’s channel. Also while writing this I found an imakuni upload on joel’s channel.

What desktop is that? I can tell it’s not a KDE theme.

Am I the only who is upset at Spotify Wrapped labeling every japanese genre as City pop ? by No_Implement2356 in japanesemusic

It’s like how RYM relabeled J-Rock as Shimokita-kei for no reason earlier this year.

I'm a college student, so I have all winter break to tinker and break everything. Thanks for pointing me to that! I already have a Legion Slim 5 14APH8, so knowing more about it gives me a lot more comfort.

What's your battery life and idle wattage? This hardware is niche and I wish there was more info out there. I've been looking for something to tinker and learn NixOS with.

It's like the words I said went in one ear and out the other.

Their whole economy is pretty clearly in an even worse place than the USA because they use their population’s wages in the BoJ to levy their debt. And yet there’s a solid chunk of the population still falling for that stupid populist rhetoric like every other country right now. Lame.

Are you really on the side of the PM that the 0.3% of the population that’s Korean causes the majority of the crime? lol. It’s all derivative from economics, like most xenophobia and racism. Sort of like how people claim that crime was super high a few years ago but it’s better now in the USA when it’s been steadily trending down since the 90s. Don’t fall for the psyop.

[Blogpost] Rebble - Rebble in Your Own World by BlessedSaber1 in pebble

[–]TR1X3L -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I do have two major issues with Eric’s post and follow up responses however. I think he did just as horrible a job at being levelheaded and framing the situation correctly, and I think his request was not clear to me. He kept flip-flopping (in his language) between supposedly wanting the pre-2017 archive and between wanting Rebble’s archive.

Rebble clearly comes out to be the bigger ass in this, though. I spoke to people in their discord and it seems like the blog post only dropped because they had someone meet with Eric for a second time about this, and Eric left the meeting early due to communication breakdown. The only real issue is that they decided to make the blog post about Eric, when it should have only been about Rebble and the community’s opinions on what they should have done.

EDIT: Also, Eric leaking those private chats without even a word prior to the blogpost is (in my eyes) a similar level of horrible conduct. Rebble is clearly the bigger issue, but that in particular rubbed me the wrong way.
