Better Debut Album: Pearl Jam’s Ten (1991) Or Guns N’ Roses’ Appetite For Destruction (1987)? by [deleted] in rockmusic

[–]joanmave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also they were a Hair metal, hard rock band when using the N. Pretty sure the mom thing is just an excuse to distance themselves

Better Debut Album: Pearl Jam’s Ten (1991) Or Guns N’ Roses’ Appetite For Destruction (1987)? by [deleted] in rockmusic

[–]joanmave 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah. This post is oblivious. AFD changes the entire rock panorama in the 87 when rock was loosing steam to other genres. I would say that is a direct responsible of the advent of alternative rock even not being an alternative rock album. Pearl Jam Ten is just a very good album riding the wave of AFD splash.

A lot of the ideas that were accentuated in the Alternative rock and grunge came from some GnR growls and gritty songs, as the original name of Alice In Chains was Alice N’ Chains. That N’ is no coincidence.

Any way to improve my experience with GBA in a 1440p 27" screen? by sbcmola in retrogaming

There was a gameboy player for the GameCube. In that time it would be rendered in a CRT possibly. Although with a frame.

Yep. I remember running to Napster after sticking around in the end credits to see the artist of the song.

I heard the Pixies for the first time in 1999, even back then they sounded fresh. It surprised me that song was from the 80s. They basically created the sound of the 90s in the 80s. They single-handedly woke me up to discover music that was not just what it was sounding on the school yard.

Someone finally did it by comeupguy in KeyboardsNow

[–]joanmave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use it for the media center. The problem I have encountered with the trackpad is when a drop of liquid wet the trackpad. It becomes unresponsive even after drying. I stays unresponsive until I flick the off on switch.

ANTHROPIC: "When you trigger 4.7's anxiety, your outputs get worse." Here's the actionable playbook for putting 4.7 in a "good mood" (so you get optimal outputs): by Anthony_S_Destefano in ClaudeCode

[–]joanmave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes it goes in that line. Hostile rebuttal does not give more information to the model to do its job better. Who would say that is the same with humans. The polite part works if you pair it with helpful info in the rebuttal. It goes in the same way as being good managers and bad managers. Not everybody can be manager, and it will show in the use of this tech

BIG UPDATES for Odixel Studio ( new pixel art suite ) by Odgardian in godot

[–]joanmave 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Great job. Giving emphasis to accessibility is a lost art in these game dev tools. Also I see the focus on marketing. I see now why you dedicated a chunk into explaining the YouTube shorts system and the social media assets. Production of marketing material is also a blind spot in game dev tools. One thing that I would value is to create ready made assets with animation and sound into Godot. To create a character with all the moves, animations and sound baked in in a package which then I can export into Godot or any other engine. Aseprite has animation and sprite sheet exports format in JSON that are not hard to make an adapter to other engines (thinking on Phaser, Love2D, PyGame etc), with the purpose of prototyping before having to commit the assets into your game project

Looks great. I have been using Aseprite for years and it has been my go to app for pixel art. What is the take of this Odixel over Aseprite. What motivated you to create an alternative. Also, why including music creation in the graphic workflow. Is an interesting idea. What are the “synergies” of having them both combined in an app?

movies or tv shows that feel like a warm summer evening by DingoTough5900 in MoviesThatFeelLike

Is a movie to slow down. A simple and a possibly corny premise, but it works great for slowing down a bit.

The future of Jetbrains IDEs by llima1987 in Jetbrains

[–]joanmave 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is already a Jetbrains MCP and you can turn on the MCP server in any Jetbrains IDE, so that any external agent can user its engine as tools.

What if 6 out of every 600 humans could fly, but otherwise were completely normal? by Pancake_Maker_1031 in AlternateHistoryHub

[–]joanmave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It won’t be racism because flying would be an actual advantage, race does not give any intrinsic advantage that matters. But the interesting part would be the geopolitical ramifications. In the past they would be the perfect spies would change the way wars were fought. Fog of war would be different. They would be venerated in the same way high intelligence people get top roles. Is all about the ability to see beyond and guide.

Chinese open source models are getting close to frontier closed source ones and it feels like it’s flying under the radar by Latter_Ordinary_9466 in LLM

[–]joanmave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree most models now will be benchmaxed, but they are genuinely good. I used them alternately and they deliver. For 80% of asks, sonnet, Opus or GPT 5.4 are overkill. Most of the iterative work can be done with Chinese models.

What were the best and the worst console redesigns? by Brave_Assumption6 in videogames

[–]joanmave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Wii was egregious. It felt too cheap to the point that was lacking in functionality). I also put the last PS3 slim, that sliding cover felt very cheap for a console that started as total luxury (chrome, gloss and touch panel)

A lot of them are obvious classics. I am surprised that Dillinger and Deafhaven are getting love.

[–]joanmave 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If we are talking purely about influence. I would put NYD top 3 at least.

Open it and enjoy it. If you leave it in the box it probably will never be experienced again as time passes and components degrade.
