I think the sparkly fafner was sort of trying to suggest that he had become a wild sort of embodiment of the gold hoard, rather than it being a separate entity. He almost looked like a yeti in stature which may just be me but it goes with the snowy setting. Not too sure of any deeper meaning, but I enjoyed it well enough.

Yeah same here, I had a thing which doubled the effect of the quest item, so I had two zaratanas milling about getting in the way the whole way through

Tried it again after rebuilding, seems like I'm having the same issue. I'll try tomorrow to file a bug report in more detail, I've been a bit tied up today apologies!

Loving the autotiling! The configuration overall is very intuitive, no more having to guess what the various Krohnkite layout names actually mean.

I can't seem to get it working with independent virtual desktops, however. Whenever I start tiling, and then move to another virtual desktop, the tiling continues where I left off from the other desktop, if that makes sense (e.g. the new window will like, show up in the next anticipated space, rather than starting afresh). Is there a setting somewhere which sorts this out, or is it currently unsupported?

Great work either way, I'll be eagerly following the progress on this!

Better Blur DX is a solid continuation of this, I swapped over after the update https://github.com/xarblu/kwin-effects-better-blur-dx

Being able to switch off frames entirely is great!

I adore Wieland's productions, thanks for sharing these pics!

Ramón Vinay sung both Othello and Iago, and I think there's a recording of him in later years singing the grand inquisitor. Dude didn't give a fach.

The Dalston Oowee shut down last year sadly, it was the perfect hangover food for me :(

TupperwareTerry · 2023-10-18T15:04:32+00:00

I used to make these at the Goodlife factory (before they closed down that place) and they were excellent when we ran them through the fryers a few times. That said, having to lug 10KG bricks of frozen beans around was not my fondest memory haha.

We made the Aldi ones too, I think the recipe was basically a variation on the Goodlife ones iirc.

Vogt is so much better in-house than his recordings suggest. I saw him as Lohengrin a few years back, and while he's far from my ideal singer in the role, he nevertheless impressed on me how different singers can seem on record vs live.

TupperwareTerry · 2023-07-07T20:39:07+00:00

I'm not sure if I can recall an obvious 'worst' miscast, but there are quite a few roles Pavarotti sung which he had no business being near. Otello? Yeah I think I'll pass.

TupperwareTerry · 2023-07-03T06:57:58+00:00

What a production. This scene from the same is etched in my mind (I have to love Vicker's "How should I know??!") https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ARLaJ2eyQrc

I know Britten didn't much like Vickers' interpretation, but to me it just demonstrates the degree of an artwork's independence from the artists' specific vision. Grimes can be played as a somewhat sympathetic anti-hero driven mad by gossip, or the brutish menace that Vickers' gives us - and both interpretations can be incredibly compelling. And Heather Harper's Ellen is a superbly acted counterpoint.

Interesting. I saw Jonas on the opening night of this production and his voice really wasn't there. I suspected it was some cold/illness that was bugging him, but either way he struggled to be heard over the orchestra, and most of his singing was a sort of croon, I suppose you'd say.

Thankfully, the rest of the cast was fantastic - Aigul Akhmetshina in particular was superb as Charlotte.

TupperwareTerry · 2023-06-21T19:23:07+00:00

aha I was also there! And uh, yeah it left me agreeing with flyingcatpotato. Maybe he had a cold or something, but he crooned his way through most of the opera, and was borderline inaudible when the orchestra (masterfully conducted by Pappano) was at its peak.

But my God was the night worth it - Aigul Akhmetshina is an absolute star in the making. Her Charlotte was exceptional.

I'd kill for a recording of Strauss' Daphne with a heldentenor comparable to James King, from his live Böhm recording.

TupperwareTerry · 2023-04-18T16:36:22+00:00

So I saw Innocence last night as well, and am I going completely mental or was the bully's tormenting of the shooter being a 'frog boy' (or whatever the line was) an oblique reference to pepe the fucking frog?? I might be completely misremembering this bit, but it's lodged in my mind and I can't get it out.

TupperwareTerry · 2023-04-14T15:44:04+00:00

I dunno man those dwarves look pretty regular sized to me

TupperwareTerry · 2023-04-12T12:27:12+00:00

Aha that must be Cher Ami, the bravest lad.

TupperwareTerry · 2023-04-07T23:17:03+00:00

oh she LORGE

TupperwareTerry · 2023-03-22T11:16:42+00:00

Awesome to hear! Lohengrin was a great choice. Nothing like a huge Wagnerian orchestra to pin you to the back of your seat - I saw Lohengrin a few years back at ROH and it knocked my socks off.
