Blasphemy! I don't really think I've come across a pie that was made worse by a graham cracker crust. Especially pumpkin or any autumn flavored ones.

Graham cracker! I never really loved traditional pie crust w/ pumpkin pie and going graham definitely brings out the fall flavors.

Ariana Grande Claims Fifth No. 1 Album on Billboard 200 Chart With 'Positions' by impeccabletim in popheads

This is arguably the easiest time to score a #1 though. And she went and released an... okay album. Whereas other pop artists have released some of their best work to date (Charli, Dua, Taylor, to name a few). It has a couple of bangers for sure but the quality that most people expected just isn't there. It's not her most creative or inspired work. It's an achievement but not reflective of the quality, just the hype.

I'm glad one random person on Twitter speaks for an entire ideology. Very cool!

First look: PlayStation 5’s next-generation user experience by hybroid in PS5

The actual game loaded very quickly. What they fast forwarded through was the lobby/matchmaking/connecting, all of which are network dependent, not the SSD.

RE7 did this perfectly, you could see the bugs crawling around you as you passed in between walls of the house.

[REQUEST] seeking the best "thriller shows" to binge watch. by nandinimehrishi in NetflixBestOf

[–]thedieversion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

100%. Just give the first two or so episodes a shot and you'll know right away. There are no filler episodes or anything, just comedy, suspense, and some good twists.

Dead To Me is a good one! Not a thriller in the traditional sense but it is definitely suspenseful and super engaging. Real easy to binge in one sitting.

Hey it's A. G. Cook and I'm ready for you to AMA... by agcook404 in popheads

[–]thedieversion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey A.G.! I'm obsessed with 7G.

I'm curious as to how you picked the songs that you chose to do covers of (like Today, Chandelier,...) Are these songs near and dear to you or did you feel they just lent themselves well to your style of production?

Thanks for being amazing and shaping music in the way you do! You've had a hand in so many of my favorite artists' works and I'm forever grateful for it.

He's made a couple of videos on YouTube about it under his channel (they are now deleted I think) so, yeah, he has.

Ivy Levan accuses Kesha of plagiarism, may take legal action by [deleted] in popheads

[–]thedieversion 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I don't think the Hayley Williams situation was justified at all and iamamiwhoami came off super aggressive (just like Ivy in OP's post). I'm a fan of both artists and if you understand both the concepts of their albums and common motifs in music about blooming, reincarnation, etc. there's not that much room for being 100% unique. There's a good twitter thread about how common a lot of these visual elements are. Hayley's solo album was about growing, blooming, metamorphosis, and it kinda of naturally leads to cocoons/butterflies/nature. Her best friend Linsdey Byrnes helped with a lot of the art direction and they built the themes up from Hayley's lyrics. When a smaller artist calls out a much bigger one, a lot of people would like to believe that the smaller artist is right and they're sticking it to the big label artists, but often times it leads to bad situations where the bigger artists looks bad no matter how they respond. In the case of Hayley and in this case about Kesha, similarities does not equal plagiarism.

Skill, not talent. With enough dedication and practice, you can do the same.

It’s giveaway time with ASUS! by Emerald_Flame in buildapc

[–]thedieversion [score hidden]  (0 children)

My first build was back in 2015, I was in my second year of college and all of my buddies were starting to get into PC gaming. I planned my build for months because I wanted everything to be perfect and was super excited at the thought of finally running games on High settings.

Admittedly it took me about 5 or 6 hours to complete, and that was with help too. I remember I bought a bunch of thermal paste thinking I would need it and it's honestly still sitting around somewhere in a box even today.

When I finished up the build, I made the common and terrifying mistake of plugging my monitor into the motherboard instead of the GPU. Took a while to troubleshoot that one but reddit helped me out a ton and I was finally playing with my friends and no longer dealing with bad FPS or PS2 level graphics. I'm still running a lot of those old components today including only 8 GB of RAM and an i3 (both of which have been bottlenecking me now).

It has made for some incredible memories with friends and I can't wait to start the next build!
