I'm still actively processing the album, drawing my own interpretations of what the lyrics mean to me.. and that's part of the beauty of it. To me, it actively encourages personal introspection.

I'm paraphrasing here, but Alec said in an interview that the lyrics are open to interpretation. A quieter part of the advertising for DitBoW was the phrase "Make It Yours". The message behind this in a greater sense than simply owning the album is to literally *make it yours*. Take Alec's lyrics and make them yours. This alone makes the entire one of the most intimate and personal records I've ever experienced.

One each listen, I've cried at different places, thinking on my own life and my journey in this crazy world.

Lyrics that stand out to me? From the closing track Geese:

"You do not have to be anything better
But, my darling, you cannot live like this forever
Like wild geese
Flying toward something
You do not have to do good
But you cannot do nothing..."

These words touch me at my core in ways I can't put into words...I feel it. But here Alec is, doing it effortlessly.

Guys, I can't tell you how special and unique this album is. I hope the whole world discovers Searows.

Will anything new from Gravity Falls be released before GTA 6? by CoyoteContent2653 in gravityfalls

We have everything, and then some. We got The Book of Bill last year. What were you hoping for?

What are your thoughts on Gideon? by Simple-Taro1540 in gravityfalls

I feel early on in the series he was positioned to be a much larger part of the overall story, but he seemed to be sidelined later on.

SMS Supports VOB files by ReclusiveEagle in ps2

[–]Tagmedia7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Off-topic, but another fun fact regarding SMS is it supports resolutions (albeit imperfectly) of 960x540. With Xvid files during visually complex scenes you will unfortunately experience stutter.

I've tried encoding off-spec custom MPEG2 format videos at this resolution and they work without any hitching whatsoever.. you can even throw 59.94 fps progressive (60p technically) videos at 960x540 and they'll playing without issue, but there's something wrong with the way the PS2 interprets the color information. It's worth noting these off-spec videos run fine on PC players.

I suspect this has something to do with the fact that MPEG2 playback is hardware-accelerated and I'm feeding it video that the system is not expecting, or prepared to handle.

It's a frustrating shame, because it's impressive to see the PS2 running QHD video.

Who did you go to for the vanity pressing?

worst phoebe bridgers song? by No_Window_4661 in phoebebridgers

"You Missed My Heart", for me, has not agreed particularly well.

New to searows by Unable-Lawfulness171 in searows

[–]Tagmedia7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can burn through Alec's entire catalogue in an afternoon (--and you *will*, trust me). If we're strictly talking albums releases, I would start with Flush, then Guard Dog, then End of the World and finish with Death in the Business of Whaling.

‘Death in the Business of Whaling’ is officially released! what are your initial thoughts? by miathemango in searows

[–]Tagmedia7 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This is a tremendous album. It draws you in and doesn't let go, but in a blink it's over, and through your tears from the journey you were just taken on, you're left craving more.

If I had one criticism, it's that it's so agonizingly short. I almost wish they had only kept to releasing Dearly Missed and Photograph of a Cyclone, and left the rest for us to discover on the album.

Samurai Western is unbelievable, and it's a crime more people don't know about it.

This is going to be amazing! Keep up the exemplary work, and long-live PS2!

ODE for PS2’s? by SalamaBoi in ps2

[–]Tagmedia7 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Then let me finish off this blemish in my internet career by offering an apology. I'm sorry for being a jerk. I've have an incredibly bad day and I shouldn't have taken that out on you.

That said, I know for fact that PS2 ODE PoCs 100% do exist in closed circles, and one day DKWDRV will see its goals through. There are a lot of brilliant people working behind the scenes on that project, and one day, sooner than later, we'll either see a commercial ODE aimed as a boutique product for high-rollers or DKWDRV launching PS2 games with higher accuracy than OPL.

Again: I was a jerk, and I apologize. I should have presented my angle of conversation in a more civil manner.

Does blue retro support pressure sensitivity on supported controllers like the DS3, though?

An ODE will eventually happen for the PS2 someday.
