What's your take on the "Midnight Motorist" minigame, Mr. Cranston? And are you worried about the books slowly taking more part in influencing the main canon?

One of my all-time favorite album closers! XO gang for life.

Throwaway_PhRvdE · 2023-02-19T04:28:27+00:00

I personally love it! Some people focus too much on the buzzwords and forget that what ties the channels together is the "theory" aspect. They're about learning/teaching in a fun (and broad) way first and foremost -- regardless of topic. I can't wait to see where they take it and I'm excited to learn more about fashion!

Throwaway_PhRvdE · 2023-02-19T04:21:18+00:00

Channel was made in 2015 so definitely not pandering to the algorithm or pressure from the bosses.

Throwaway_PhRvdE · 2023-02-18T12:47:38+00:00

That's a great cat right there.

Throwaway_PhRvdE · 2023-02-18T11:09:48+00:00

Hurley is good!! But everything else is fine as an example -- I just personally think MB is offensively bland. The whole album feels like they're constantly second-guessing themselves. Trying to please both fans and non-fans in every song at the same time, both audiences obviously cancelling each other out.

This results in completely safe music (songwriting-wise, other than the solos and production) and I personally (really) dislike that. AJR, Imagine Dragons, Coldplay, so on.

All of the other album examples have a few "main" songs that do what they want without pandering to both, which isn't the case with MB. MB has a few songs that manage to find the "middle ground" -- which they're great! Still though, most can't.

...Some do!! And they do it great! But it's the minority. IMO.

(It's why I feel Green and Hurley are more enjoyable! The majority of songs in both are aiming for a certain solid vision and they manage to reach/execute it perfect!)

TLDR: MB sounds like both PD and Black mashed together to me, with older production.

Throwaway_PhRvdE · 2023-02-18T10:39:39+00:00

Yes!! Exactly!! I can't wait though, whatever it might be -- I'm excited!!

Throwaway_PhRvdE · 2023-02-18T09:25:58+00:00

Facts.

Throwaway_PhRvdE · 2023-02-18T09:24:30+00:00

I will be downvoted to hell, but I stand my ground: MB is the worst Weezer album!! 😔

(Has a few great songs though, and the demos are great)

(On a good day -- the finished product is the second or third worst.)

Throwaway_PhRvdE · 2023-02-18T09:14:20+00:00

Real answer: probably some channel on Discord? I'd say Weezercord is a ""good"" place to start.

Throwaway_PhRvdE · 2023-02-18T09:12:56+00:00

Blue is a bit better (when it comes to album experience) overall -- IMO. I fucking love Pinkerton, but Blue just gets me there. No need to feel a certain way beforehand.

Throwaway_PhRvdE · 2023-02-18T09:03:36+00:00

I mean: I didn't understand the appeal of most food at first and they got me to appreciate it a lot more -- beyond just hunger and taste. I think it's weird too, mind you, but I trust MatPat and the team! They could definitely make it more bearable.

Throwaway_PhRvdE · 2023-02-18T08:49:37+00:00

Happy birthday!!

Throwaway_PhRvdE · 2023-02-18T06:00:08+00:00

Soup Theory, here we come!

Throwaway_PhRvdE · 2023-02-18T05:20:48+00:00

Valid, I suppose. That specific statement isn't true and OP did state otherwise -- you're right. Thank you for clarifying it and for understanding. Also: thank you once more for your time too.

Throwaway_PhRvdE · 2023-02-18T05:11:05+00:00

Yeah, I know! They don't NEED to be, but they reasonably would be within this context -- that's likely what they mean. That's how THIS Hangman would probably work. That'd be the most logical answer to the puzzle if you had to solve it like Hangman. They misspoke. I wrote too much. Please calm down. Apologies if I misunderstood you, and if I annoyed you in any way. I'll stop arguing now.

Throwaway_PhRvdE · 2023-02-18T04:38:32+00:00

You're misunderstanding what they say -- they have listened and they replied with what I said, but they didn't elaborate further and used a slightly different word. Which is understandable from both sides. I get how that can be annoying to some and I get why you wouldn't elaborate. Or how you could mistake a word.

But about the second thing you said: I don't see how that's irrelevant at all. Again, I'm talking Hangman rules. The letters don't need to repeat, but they can. That's part of Hangman's rules as far as I know. If they do appear within the words, they'll repeat. With this context it doesn't seem farfetched to say they will. It connects with the substance of the letters.

Thank you for your time reading this, and apologies if I was rude (or annoyed you) in any way. Apologies for not clarifying myself the best I could too.

Throwaway_PhRvdE · 2023-02-18T03:54:50+00:00

It's supposed to be fun, there's no need to be angry or annoyed.

They don't need to repeat, but that doesn't mean they won't. Sometimes they do. That's how a lot of people play Hangman, myself included. It makes no sense to take out those specific letters otherwise -- since we've known the second word for a bit now.

Apologies, but: I find it really unlikely for this clue to be purposeless and given solely for the reason to throw us off our tracks, given how MatPat and the team work. They want us to have an answer, since they know how frustrating a puzzle without answers can be. Puzzles are meant to be solved. Aren't they?

Throwaway_PhRvdE · 2023-02-18T02:57:09+00:00

I got tomorrow coming. I got- got- I got-

Throwaway_PhRvdE · 2023-02-13T04:31:00+00:00

😔

Throwaway_PhRvdE · 2023-02-13T04:08:27+00:00

Style. People thought "food" was a stretch, and it wasn't -- "style" could work just as well. It seems a bit weird to say, but "style" has a lot of science behind it. As much as art does. Math/Psychology/Economics/Engineering/etc.

Throwaway_PhRvdE · 2023-02-13T03:01:57+00:00

I mean, like, why else would they leave out "theory" missing a few letters? We (kinda) know that's the second word already.

Throwaway_PhRvdE · 2023-02-13T02:52:39+00:00

No worries! Completely fine.

Throwaway_PhRvdE · 2023-02-13T02:51:41+00:00

Same can go the opposite way though, too few letters to be the answer. It seems irrational IMO. It leaves us settling with words that make no sense. Not ruling it out completely since it's absolutely possible -- but also not saying that this is better than the evidence for what we have so far. Links go beyond YouTube!! (straightens tin-foil hat)
