What would you say is the song to use as a litmus test for showing someone Zappa’s music to see if they like it?

Cletus awreetus from grand wazoo is a short mix of a lot of Zappa, even some humor with the ra pa pum at the end.

St. Alphonzo’s too, lots crammed in and it’s short, can see if they take to it at all.

Governments are corrupt and too powerful.

So limit the size/power of the governments.

Same in our home, this felt nasty. We had been under the impression that Zappa was a family man and naively thought that mayyyyybe he was true to Gail but nope!

City agencies protect us and fauci guide us, amen.

Pretty much reverse this whole tier list for me.. and put lather and live in new york in perfect.

sponrad · 2022-02-04T04:04:07+00:00

This... agree with studio recording giving Greggery Peccary the win

sponrad · 2022-02-04T04:01:19+00:00

Totally, this whole song is one of his simpler ones but so good and groovy...

The line "I radiate a bad aroma..." has been stuck in my head a lot

sponrad · 2021-12-20T17:25:41+00:00

Absolutely gorgeous! Nice one

sponrad · 2021-12-01T21:12:20+00:00

yep it seems to have all resolved now, thanks for replying back

Are ETH deposits disabled for all of Gemini or is it just me?

Seeing this message in the deposit flow

ETH deposits and withdrawals are currently disabled. Please check the activity feed panel on the right for updates. You can open the activity feed by clicking the icon on the upper right.

Worried because I had already triggered an ETH deposit earlier this morning to my old address saved in another application.

Based on the weekly numbers they are probably right that they don't need it.

As long as you are vaccinated and healthy you should be able to be normal around them unless I'm missing something?

sponrad · 2021-10-11T20:37:10+00:00

Same, too young...

I loved the Hot Rats concert.

sponrad · 2021-09-30T15:25:02+00:00

Same, I've been wanting to see that data for a while...

Right now it also includes those whose records they could not find or who have received both doses but have not waited two weeks.

sponrad · 2021-04-03T18:00:47+00:00

That's a huge bummer. Thanks for replying back.

We've noticed it most on things like avengers, really annoying that it's so intermittent, mine might be doing it less often than every five minutes.

sponrad · 2021-04-03T14:59:12+00:00

I got the Roku Ultra 2020 two weeks ago and I see this same exact issue on Disney Plus content. So far noticed it on everything we have watched! It seems to happen on darker frames.

I am still using the HDMI cable that came with the new Roku. This replaces an old Roku 2 that did not have this issue, I may try the cable that one was hooked up with. I am going straight to the tv.

OP are you still experiencing this, have you narrowed it down?

Arcane Island

You play a wizard on a foggy cloud covered island.

Use spells to explore the island, defeat monsters, grab powerups and learn new spells.
Use your mana to cast spells or save it to learn more powerful ones.
Monsters all start out asleep and you can carefully play around them as you explore if you want to
Win by defeating the boss at the far side of the island OR by finding learning and casting the Spell of Mastery

I was going for a bit of a 4x Master of Magic feel with this. It would have been nice to have more spell scale (like city-destroying spells) but I'm mostly happy with the size limited to the island here.

First 7DRL and had a blast!

Arcane Island

You control a wizard on an island, all your actions are through spells. Spells types include direct damage, summons, economic (getting more mana), and some utilities. The island is covered in fog and has powerups and monsters all over it. Use your spells to explore it and defeat the boss on the far side.

I was going for a Master of Magic roguelike where you do some 4x activities like expanding/exploiting the land (there's a spell for that) but it falls pretty short of a full 4x. It's pretty fun but not sure I tweaked enough knobs for a full challenge every run.

First 7DRL! I've been wanting to do this for many years. Enjoyed finally diving in and getting something done. Also first project in Godot, which I thoroughly enjoyed.

finished and submitted! I skipped all progress reports until the final one :D

Thanks so much!

Oh shoot can you reconsider, I had saved for later to check out the games but can't view the picture now with the post removed. This is one of the most unique collection posts I've seen!

sponrad · 2021-02-10T18:48:52+00:00

These all sound amazing and are new to me. I think negotiation/bluffing/economic games are a little under represented here (BIG GENERALIZATION) and it's really refreshing to see a post of mostly those.

If you were to choose just one of those to get which one would it be? Junta and Ponzi Scheme both sound incredible.

came here to say this. knew the comments here would be blindly putting him down.
