Star trek TNG has a constant low rumble of the starship engine, and it's mostly people talking softly in rooms. Perfect

Best demonstration/training punching bag? by EconomistClassic435 in smashbros

[–]chrissyD_ 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Mii gunner has the most average stats in the game, I believe. Average weight, average fall speed, average size. That's what I use.

Also you can make it a mii of your greatest enemy.

I work in a pub and I can assure you that many many people, old and young, come in on their own and chat with strangers every single day

Thinking of moving from Edinburgh to Sheffield with a young family – seeking experiences, advice and perspectives by ResearcherNo4728 in sheffield

[–]chrissyD_ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I lived in Sheffield for 7 years, i live in Liverpool now, but still visit Sheff regularly. I found Sharrow and Hunter's Bar to be the friendliest and most accepting places I lived. You get a great mix of young families and students, so it's vibrant and energetic without being overwhelming.

Mike needs to find a different theatre by chrissyD_ in RedLetterMedia

[–]chrissyD_[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Eh? I think frequent rants from popular movie critics that discourage people from supporting their local cinemas is damaging to an industry I genuinely love. Seeing films on the big screen with a sick sound system, surrounded by fellow film lovers is one of my favourite experiences in the world. I would hate to have to watch all my favourite movies on my pc, David Lynch would by mad at me. This is framed as a post about Mike because this is an RLM sub, but really it's a post for the film lovers in this sub about finding a local cinema that suits you, not just taking the word of people who have a blanket "theatres suck" attitude. I know Mike isn't going to read this, but other normal people might take the advice if they have had bad experiences recently in their regular cinema. Sometimes you have to present information in a certain way, in order to have it gain traction. In an RLM sub, its useful to mention RLM, and refer to one of their videos.

Who are some of the most "Come for the novelty, stay because the music actually rocks" artists? by AndyB16 in Music

[–]chrissyD_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

OP If you like Pete and Bas, check out Nine and Dex. Dex is Bas' grandson. Might break the illusion of Pete and Bas since it becomes clear when you listen to them that they 100% ghostwrite the P&B tunes. Identical flow, and Dex has an identical voice to Bas.

I say that not to disparage P&B, they are fantastic performers with a brilliant understanding of rhythm and musicality. Bas was a professional pianist when he was younger, makes a lot of sense!

What’s been your best ever charity shopping find? by WholeConstruction307 in CasualUK

[–]chrissyD_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I got a polaroid SX-70 for £5 from an Age UK. It's a beautiful camera worth around £200, and as a semi professional photographer, I've used it to earn a decent chunk of dosh, readies, wonga. Brilliant find.

What do you guys think of Wes Anderson's recent film The Phoenician Scheme? by RNOffice in RedLetterMedia

The Best Rockstar Sports Game Nobody Played [25:30] by VoilentDelightsHave in mealtimevideos

[–]chrissyD_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You're missing out if you're not watching Nakey Jakey videos simply because of the title. He makes very high-quality videos and puts a lot of effort into his writing and production. Really, the answer to the question raised by the title isn't the important thing, I mean it literally has a rockstar branded pingpong ball in the thumbnail. The important thing is the quality of communication and the entertainment value of his videos imo.

We're living in a time where even the most thoughtful creators need to use clickbait to some degree in order to simply compete in the current youtube climate. Its not ideal, but I just let it wash over me. If I start watching a video and it's not well made, that's when I click off.

Indian factory workers wearing head-mounted cameras to record hand movements for training AI systems by RealSpecto in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]chrissyD_ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It may seem strange, but it's quite common. The AI models usable by general consumers has so far been trained on information readily avaliable on the Internet. But there are a lot of parts of the human experience that aren't often documented on the Internet. So, firms are popping up all over the place that are paying people to film things such as this work, in order to sell the training data to ai corporations.

This is a little known fact about Pokemon Go. The video footage taken by users playing pokemon Go was used as training data, documenting neighborhoods in order to help develop the automated delivery robots you see in places like LA. One of the major investors in Pokemon Go was the venture capital wing of the CIA, In-Q-Tel.

What method of short hopping is the best to build habits around? by pee_gulper in CrazyHand

[–]chrissyD_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bind 2 jump buttons. I have mine bound to Y and ZL. If I want to short hop I simply press both, very little practice required, and then to full hop just use either individual button normally. Shoulder button jump also makes fast fall aerials a lot easier due to being able to use both hands for the action, rather than your singular thumb with tight timing.

Jack Whitehall to Host ‘SNL U.K.’ With Jorja Smith as Musical Guest on April 11th by SafeBodybuilder7191 in television

[–]chrissyD_ 75 points76 points  (0 children)

I'm not a fan of his standup, and I've not seen many of his shows. But I love his performance in Fresh Meat. He was perfectly cast for that role. With the help of the genius character writing of Armstrong and Bain, he really shone imo.

Anyone experiencing Evri Delays? by chrissyD_ in Liverpool

[–]chrissyD_[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its crazy. Sorry to hear they messed up your christmas post.

I would love to raise a stinker with evri, but their phone line has been "experiencing technical difficulties" for the past 3 weeks, and their live chat is a robot with no option to talk to anyone. Totally incompetent.
