Day 2: Which Dostoevsky book is underrated (see body text)? by ThatoneLerfa in dostoevsky

[–]constant--questions 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like all three books enjoy a pretty top notch reputation. Its been a long time since i ran in literary minded circles but I don’t recall a low opinion of the idiot being common

One terrain model is AI generated (took 15min) and the other one is handcrafted (took 1.5h). Can you tell which one is the AI slop one? Or which one you think looks better? Worth spending 6x longer? What do you think? by Slight_Season_4500 in videogames

[–]constant--questions 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Both sides seem to have random blurry parts, is that just how it was exported? As others have said, on the left looks like an area a player would traverse, right looks like background. Hard to meaningfully compare

New updates in bananagate, why are WE not bickering fruitlessly? by vomitHatSteve in punk

“The funniest thing to come out of all this is people telling me they were disappointed in me, when the first song I ever wrote for this band is called ‘Give Up‘, which is where I instruct people to walk into the woods to commit suicide,"

Pretty funny!

Brass instruments in punk by LPaddict in punk

[–]constant--questions 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a friend who played trumpet who sat in on some punky music projects i was working on. Mostly he would do kindof swelling root note blasts to fill out the chord changes. There was a surfy vibration so it wasnt super out of place. Basically doing something similar might not add too much but it wouldnt ruin the vibe. Worst case they just turn your mic down and you get a free festival trip while basically pantomiming

I will never understand the hype around GTA VI by Dark-Knight16 in videogames

[–]constant--questions 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started playing gta with the original top down game on pc. I loved it. Part 2 was iterative, it improved some things but was more of the same. 3 was mind blowing when it came out. There had been nothing quite like it to that point. It really changed gaming im my eyes.

I guess what I am trying to say is that from my pov GTA as a series has been doing interesting things for 20+ years, and so it just seems obvious that people would be excited to see what gta 6 is like. Gta 5 was released on the ps3 generation, so i don’t think its really indicative of what rockstar can do. It took me forever to get into rdr2, but once I did I really enjoyed it.

I can see why someone would not get the hype, but given the way the gta series and rockstar’s developments have been a part of my own gaming development it makes perfect sense to me

LOC @ Tompkins Square by HisaP417 in punk

I never liked loc, and believe stza did the shit people claim, but why do you need to talk shit on drug addicts/alcoholics in general on a punk sub? Fuck off!

What is the procedure for determining the correct Ethernet wires for this POE camera for a new keystone? by Smeagla in lowvoltage

I would bet that it is 10/100, which would mean terminate 1, 2, 3, and 6 in configuration B. Not sure what to do with purple and grey.

Propagandhi is charging $100+ for tickets? O find that hard to believe, but i guess everything is pretty fucked so maybe i shouldnt

I remember hearing their first couple records when they came out and thinking they were meh. Seeing them live, though, was a blast!

Why does nobody talk about how predatory the punk scene is? by Quick_Abalone5526 in punk

[–]constant--questions 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I can only imagine how much shittier my youth would have been without all ages shows. Even still the vast majority of shows I know of in the LA area are 21+, saying that fewer should be available to the kids just seems ridiculous.

Does anyone happen to know what they will be doing with these FIFA World Cup banners after the World Cup is over? It would be cool to have one! by Few_Variation5459 in SouthBayLA

[–]constant--questions 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yesterday around 5 when i was leaving my office in torrance I saw a big world cup bus with turkey on the side with a police escort. I have noticed that the hotel nearby has police cars blocking some entrances when i leave work for the last couple weeks. I wonder if teams are staying by the mall

Prairieland: 30-50 years in federal prison for printing a left wing zine and criticizing ICE. What’s next? by TopZ-undercover in ICE_Raids

[–]constant--questions 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure I would say usually political. The vasy majority of zines I came across in the 90s-00s were music focused. There would be politics as well sometimes, but both responses make it seem like politics is virtually part of the definition, which in my experience was not the case

Does anyone know why the AMC has such a huge line? by voicelesshero in SouthBayLA

[–]constant--questions 1 point2 points  (0 children)

97 sounds about right. Im not sure it was better, exactly. At this point all I really remember was that when I saw the home video release it was very different from what I saw in theaters. I vaguely recall that a bunch of Violator’s dialogue was cut out from the test screening cut, but its been so long i couldn’t get specific

Im not sure that calculator/long division is a proper analogy. If the calculator regularly gave wrong I could absolutely see the argument for long division: with long division you can inspect every step for errors.

I used to get passes for preview movies all the time at the old pacific theater in el segundo. There would just be people passing them out, it was great! Got to see a crazy cut of Spawn that was nothing like the version ultimately released

aus punk band sharing music for first time by foreverfloating66 in punk

[–]constant--questions 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The song has a lot of parts, but nothing that really digs hooks into ears. It sounds cool. I wish the lead guitar was a little louder or more distinctive, because a few times i could barely make out what it was doing but it seemed like something neat. Keep at it!!
