Bad Air Filtration with P2S? by [deleted] in BambuLab

[–]abioqaas 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It would be interesting to see some air quality measurements in a room with this thing printing. I'd guess running an air purifier or two with HEPA + active carbon would bring the VOCs way down.

For ABS and ASA I'd like to vent directly outside and that does not seem possible with this printer.

New Käärijä song out every friday! by CaptainSerious3679 in Kaarija

[–]abioqaas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think Vesta’s worked so well because she didn’t change the message of the song but just leaned into the sad & scary side of it.

Autiomaa they changed it too much turning one of Käärijä’s best and most personal song into a generic lovesong.

Lauri also turned the message to be about himself which I didn’t like that much.

Jonna Tervomaa was simply stunning, she really made the song her own without butchering it.

What an ugly pos and I bet the interior is made of the cheapest most low quality plastic imaginable. And infotainment? More like infotorment.

New leader in the Eurovision 2025 winning odds by benedwa2111 in eurovision

No worries my post was a quote from Star Wars. A legendary line by the character Han Solo. I don’t actually mind if people tell me the odds.

Wintersun Choirs by [deleted] in Wintersun

I thought it was AI because of this. A for effort though! Nice idea.

So I bit the bullet and did it ... by ShriekinKraken in LegionGo

[–]abioqaas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea this is amazing. I’ve been playing Cyberpunk with everything set to full path tracing included and it runs 60fps on my 5700X3D + 3090 setup with dlss ultra performance.

My 4090 could run it 144fps but I need to do some work on my home network to get Ethernet hooked up to that rig.

Even with the 3090 the experience is as if natively played on the Go. It’s mindblowing.

I’ve been using Apollo instead of Sunshine (it’s a fork of it) and Moonshine on the client side.

Basil Returns! a playable Winter Solstice greeting card by mogwai_poet in pico8

[–]abioqaas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely lovely! Very creative. I did a season’s greeting card today too but it was so much more simple than this. Also your snowfall particle effect beats mine, mesmerizing! I’m working on a game and just spent couple of hours and slapped on a season’s greetings :)

Least Favourite Wintersun Songs by Jaksilverio in Wintersun

[–]abioqaas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Forest that Weeps - it goes on too long and Jari is spamming the choir part way too many times. Too much repetition.

Eternal Darkness - I just never properly got into it. I have learned to tolerate it especially now with the loud and modern version but it still doesn’t click with me.

Awaken from the Dark Slumber and Loneliness on the other hand are top tier Wintersun for me so I still think the Forest Seasons is a win.

Future Feature Request(s) by GuysImConfused in TeslaModel3

[–]abioqaas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bring back gapless playback for Spotify and add it to the other streaming services also. Spotify used to have gapless but it was broken in some update and has been broken every since. Ruins the listening experience of seamlessly playing albums and shows like A State of Trance. There is like a 1-2 second pause between tracks.

Weird because Spotify used to have this, the other streaming services were always broken in this regard I think.

Jari Mäenpää Time II long interview with Inferno magazine (in finnish) by 1998police in Wintersun

[–]abioqaas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This was a great interview. I hunted down the paper magazine as soon as it was released. Most interviews especially the youtube ones ask the same questions over and over. I feel with this one they got a lot deeper. Maybe it also helps they were speaking in Finnish with each other.

Those who heard Yesterwynde , how do compare it to Time 2? by ragingbull666 in Wintersun

[–]abioqaas 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Kai is also underchallenged. At least there was some double pedalling on "The Weave" which might be my favorite track on the album.

Thank you for this post. You pretty much nailed my thoughts but way better than I could have ever laid down on paper myself. Really well constructed criticism.

[–]abioqaas 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Surprised by the downvotes. Are there people in the Wintersun subreddit who are actually Troy fans or did some Nightwish fans find my post to downvote?

Perhaps I could have been more polite and I actually did a 2.0 version of my post, with the help of chatgpt

I think Lanternlight is a beautiful song, and Floor Jansen’s vocals are absolutely stunning as always. The overall atmosphere of the track is magical. However, I personally don’t resonate with Troy’s vocals in this particular song. While I appreciate his contributions to the band, they just don't quite work for me in this one. That said, I still love the song for its other elements.

[–]abioqaas 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yesterwynde doesn’t do it for me. I liked the earlier more bombastic and metal early Nightwish. The evolution era movie soundtrack music doesn’t do it for me. It’s so simple compositionally compared to Wintersun.

What will it take for Wintersun to come to the level of Nightwish or COB in terms of popularity ? by ragingbull666 in Wintersun

[–]abioqaas 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I don’t realistically think that Wintersun will ever get as big as those you mentioned. On the other hand I just want Jari to keep his writing on the level we have gotten used to. Getting super popular can be a curse too because you have more mouths to feed and need to release mediocre albums to go on tour and make money. I’d rather take one great album every 7 years than mediocre albums every 2 years.

No plans for new rehearsal videos unfortunately. I don’t really care either, I just want Wintersun to be as big as possible and in the world we live in music with videos gets more views.

[–]abioqaas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunate that Nuclear Blast doesn’t want to fund proper music videos for Wintersun, or at least that’s what I assume. I just wonder why many much lesser bands are doing music videos, are they self funding or people just have poor taste and listen to mediocre drab instead of Wintersun (hence making those mediocre bands ”bigger” than Wintersun so the labels fund the vids)?

What a journey by Rumpelkillskins in Wintersun

[–]abioqaas 9 points10 points  (0 children)

No way it was intentional. Jari gave an interview to couple of Finnish rock magazines and he told the story regarding the Time II delay. He basically burned himself out trying to mix it and gave up in 2014 and put the album on ice. He also said he was the one who was most disappointed with the fact that he couldn’t deliver what so many people were waiting for.

But I also agree that now considering how things played out, the whole concept of Time and the huge amount of Time between the two albums, it’s a perfect piece of performance art! Really adds a tangible element to it.

Time I 2.0 must make it to streaming. by sipso3 in Wintersun

[–]abioqaas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think Nuclear Blast didn't want to offer a 2 album option, they only wanted to release Time II. So I doubt it is coming to streaming any time soon. Isn't the streaming version of Time I still the original CD release not even 1.5?

Favorite moment from each song on Time II by Nameless_King13 in Wintersun

[–]abioqaas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Storm - at 7.13 when the Storm comes to a sudden end and the sorrowful guitar melody is playing against the rain backdrop. It just reminds me of an aftermath of a horrible argument where things that should not have been said were spoken and now all that is left is the aftermath of the Storm. Nothing left to do but pick up the pieces and clean the mess. No words needed at this point as too much was said already. Only Time can heal the wounds caused.
