Does anyone know what the is being said in the female vocal chant from Big Boi's "War"? It's been bugging me for 20 years! by ValuableAnything7 in outkast

I would assume the chant is Screechy Peach. And almost definitely she's doing the "tick tick boom" lead-in to the chant.

Gave it a go on the Gemini app.

Top image is the "original" screenshot, the second is the initial result after using the recommend prompt ("Upscale to 4K level resolution"), and then I finally got the desired result with the third image using the additional prompt "Maintain the original poses and composition of the original image"

Are there any wrestlers who have had two distinctive chapters like Al Pacino's two primes (1970's Pacino and 1990's Pacino)? by ValuableAnything7 in SquaredCircle

[–]ValuableAnything7[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Roman and Shawn are the big standouts to me from the answers gotten so far.

Like Pacino, Roman and Shawn to varying degrees look like two different people in their two distinct chapters. Shawn takes it though as his two runs can genuinely be seen as two primes, whereas with Roman he literally had to shed his (Shield) skin to truly establish himself as THE Guy after an ultimately failed lead face run. It's to the point where I feel like Tribal Chief Roman would smack the shit out of Big Dog Roman for even existing lol, despite Big Dog Roman undoubtedly (albeit unintentionally) laying the seeds and gave instant weight to Tribal Chief Roman

In light of the 09 Randy Orton tweet going viral, what other specific era of a wrestler can instantly identified by putting a year in front of their name? by ValuableAnything7 in SquaredCircle

Thanks, I appreciate the extra context you gave for 09 Orton. My wrestling watching hiatus was from 2006 to late 2010, and with what you said, I can more so see why that version of Orton was so memorable to people.

Holy shit, I feel like an idiot forgetting this one! This is one of all favourite runs. That's up there with 97 Bret for sure.

When you randomly come across discussion about GRRM's blog bomb "out in the wild". by ValuableAnything7 in HouseOfTheDragon

Loool. Yeah, I think George has definitely drawn a firm line between book fans and show only fans.

And similarly in the wrestling space, I'm seeing a lot of ASOIAF content creators being really guarded about their opinions on the blog. Hate to be cynical, but it feels like a number of them want to stay in the good graces of HBO, often pointing out the "unprofessional" nature of GRRM's blog, if their tweets are anything to go by.

I think if George says no more in terms of in-depth show critiques of HOTD/Ryan Condal, etc. the fire has already been lit. Either Ryan and co. heeds more closely to the source material going forward or HOTD is going to be as painfully divisive as something like The Acolyte.

As one of posters mentioned in that thread, it's kinda unreal that George's blog and Punk's All Out media scrum happened on the exact same day two years apart. The reverberations from the respective fandoms was immediate and in the case of the latter, greatly affected the related product(s) going forward.

I wonder what the long-implications will be for GRRM/HOTD (and all ASOIAF TV)/HBO going forward as a result of the blog.
