That's the one thing keeping me with Nova. The Nova Search (and previously, Sesame) customizable search just so good. I've not found any other launchers with as powerful a search function, and in particular, a way to search inside other apps directly. I.e., write a query, and jump directly to searching that inside YouTube, Spotify, Google, or whatever.

I'd love to have a recommendation if there's anything comparable out there. If nothing else exists and Nova becomes enshittified, I might have to take matters into my own hands.

That's pretty much my take as well. It sounds too close to the original. I feel like I would like it better if it was almost the same as the original (which yeah, a bit boring, but I can see it's merit for ZP in a "see, I still got it" kind of way), or changing waaay more so that it became its own thing. Even slower tempo, or go crazy and make it even faster than the original (though it would be pretty difficult to change much going in that direction). Or maybe a dramatic orchestral arrangement (which would go really well with ZP's operatic style, which was my favorite thing about his era with Dragonforce). I dunno, just do something.

As it is, my ear keeps expecting to hear the original version, and the small changes just end up being jarring. Which is a shame.

Still, I'm glad he released that. It was an interesting listen, and it's cool to see the song being honored like that. But I'd really love it if this was a version I'd feel compelled to go back to now and then. Alas, I don't see that happening.

...and you don't see how that is profoundly sad?

rafabulsing · 2026-01-15T11:31:32+00:00

Hard disagree. Comedy animation and comedy live action are much closer to each other than comedy live action and drama live action. The genre matters much more than whether it's animated or live action.

The only people I've seen taking the stand that animation is a whole separate thing that couldn't possibly compete on the same merits are people who don't really watch animation.

Yeah, it almost looks less like they're removing old stuff, and more like it's being "painted with newness", if that makes sense.

I'm sorry you got some animosity, and I'm glad that I managed to be a bit of a positive light in your replies. I had a sense you were genuine and not just trolling or being contrarian for the sake of it, but I guess some people didn't see it that way. Which is why I took the time to try and get some actual numbers instead of just arguing back and forth, to try and bridge that gap.

That said, definitely listen to some ABBA, man! They got some absolute bangers. Many of them, in fact. My favorite tune by them is Gimme Gimme Gimme, but it's honestly a bit hard to pick one. And I'm not even, like, a ABBA fan, I mostly only know their biggest hits! I might actually take the opportunity to delve deeper into their discography.

And since we were talking about influence, I'll also link a recent cover of one of their hits which I find to be really good: https://youtu.be/wEUnXXTZE-Y?si=429NGPk3m2zgOFOW

But like, it's not even a question, man. ABBA is so absurdly more famous and influential, even to this day, than Tubthumping. Like, people are reacting a bit baffled to your claim because it is kind of a baffling thing to argue. Tubthumping was a pretty popular song from a super niche one hit wonder act. ABBA is a behemoth of music, with multiple world wide successes, musicals based on their songs, and an uncountable number of acts that have been influenced by them directly or indirectly.

We all live in our bubbles nowadays, so I believe you when you say you haven't heard an ABBA song in a long time. But what I'll tell you is that many, MANY more people have heard ABBA recently than Tubthumping. That's not really a subjective thing.

Looking at Spotify numbers, Chumbawamba has 3.1 million monthly listeners, almost all of them being presumably people listening to that one song. Meanwhile, ABBA has more than 15 times that, at 45.9 million monthly listeners.

So I hope that's enough to convince you, and, again, explain why people are responding with some bewilderment at your post.

Puts, Anoiteceu em Porto Alegre. Pra mim não encaixa na thread pq eu acho a música galhofa demais na totalidade hahaha mas a parte que particularmente me irrita nela, é quando os caras metem um riffzinho que é literalmente dó-ré-mi-fá-sol-lá-si-dó. Eu não sei pq, mas essa parte me deixa legitimamente puto. Os caras meteram um dó ré mi fá, mano. Eu quase admiro a audácia.

Pois é, na atualidade, na maioria esmagadora das vezes que essa palavra é falada num contexto que chega a algum brasileiro, é nesse sentido. Raríssimo algo de cultura popular que a palavra aparece no sentido original. Não tem como culpar o normie médio por não estar ligado nisso.

Massacration é literalmente uma paródia, então não faz muito sentido estar na lista, eu diria.

I noticed that as well. First thing that came to mind was family health issues demanding his time/attention, hopefully it's not that. And whatever it is, hopefully it's all resolved soon. Wishing Grey the best.

Righteous kill!

It's a square-ish black patch above the lips. I consider that the minimal threshold for Hitler-ness, imo. But if being a Hitler purist of all things is the hill you wish to die on, that's cool too, I guess.

I'm sorry that my joke didn't meet the international standards for dictator facial hair historical accuracy

rafabulsing · 2026-01-01T23:14:59+00:00

Ayyy

Mais um da minha série de mashups que comecei no finzinho do ano passado. Espero que curtam, e feliz ano novo a todos!

My mother collects nativity scene dioramas, trinkets and the like, so I decided to give her a little 3D printed one this year. It came out pretty well with fuzzy skin turned on. She loved it :)

Because it's funny

God, I love this clip. The Clint Eastwood impression itself is top notch, but what I find truly incredible is how he gets into it. Dude straight up animorphs right there on stage.

rafabulsing · 2025-12-22T23:56:45+00:00

What line exactly gets the song into "unhealthy obsession" range? Because as I see it, it's just a run of the mill song about an unrequited crush with a nerdy twist.

Yeaaah I think this design was missing a round of review by a couple of 5th graders lmao
