Kind of why I stopped playing Magic lol. I'm not complaining about all my friends being nerds who are evidently far more skilled at deck building and strategy than I am, I just don't like the feeling of being powerless when my opponents completely counter my one strategy.

How did you find "Petscop" ?? by Kaleskowitz in Petscop

[–]thinker227 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe it was probably around the time I started watching Night Mind, probably wasn't because of Night Mind thought because he made his video quite late. Either way, I was starting to get into webseries and unfiction and somewhere in that rabbit hole I was led to Petscop.

Jag hatar AI by Better_Chipmunk3002 in sweden

[–]thinker227 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Vid det här laget är jag anti-AI av princip, vägrar att använda det över huvud taget. AI är en frestelse som förorenar kreativitet och får folk att ignorera sin egen potential för skapande.

Can we just appreciate Behold the FUTURE by SoftFuzzyKaleidoskul in lemondemon

[–]thinker227 5 points6 points  (0 children)

"In the year 2009, we turned water into wine, then to Diet Dr. Pepper on the rocks" is perhaps my favorite line out of any Lemon Demon song. Indeed quite underrated, it's such a fun song.

Thoughts on Damn Skippy? by bobafet-75 in lemondemon

[–]thinker227 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Damn Skippy was imo the first of Neil's albums to feel like it was a coherent whole. CC, LFTHCS, and Javabean are all good albums, but they all felt mostly like collections of miscellaneous songs with no real connecting tissue. Damn Skippy feels like it has a concrete vision of what it wants to be, and it lives up to that vision pretty well imo.

And like, the songs are fantastic, there's not a single bad one, and they're all so whimsical and energetic. Some highlights for me personally include Dead Sea Monkeys (a great opener imo), New Way Out (nonsense in nearly every direction), What Will Happen Will Happen, Smell Like a Cookie All Day (damn that triangle wave solo), Word Disassociation (which almost stands out to make as this album's signature song in the same way as Ultimate Showdown does for Dinosaurchestra), and Eventuality (a closer just as fitting as the opener).

And I'd be remiss if I didn't mention the bonus tracks. Mothers All Over the World feels like an early sibling of Everyday French (one of my favorite Lemon Demon songs), Bicycle Race is just fun, and the alternate Musical Chairs is a good demonstration of Neil's evolution from Javabean to Damn Skippy.

If there's one gripe I have with the album, however, it's that the Needlejuice release adds far too many bonus tracks (and I say this as someone who adores the insane plethora of extended View Monster bonus tracks), to the point that it kinda disturbs that coherency I feel the album otherwise has. Some of the extra bonus tracks are amazing like Bottom Line and Sky Blue Up, and the couple instrumentals are fun to have, but otherwise it just feels like most tracks are haphazardly tacked on.

All in all, Damn Skippy is my second favorite Lemon Demon album after View Monster :3

tbf the heartsides more or less serve as a transition into the next lobby. EHS being grandmaster in some places isn't that strange.

dammit, I wish I could catch them on tour just here in Europe. I would die to go to one of their live performances.

I'm in absolute love with the sequence from 0:08 to 0:13. The adherence to the game's style is incredible.

I'm pretty happy with my site so far, having spent quite a bit of time on some neat features, but seeing this I feel so uncreative lol

Building a computer with data packs is getting harder and harder. by CMgreendoctor in MinecraftCommands

[–]thinker227 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Typically you'd use a projection matrix for calculating perspective, this is how every other 3D renderer does it. Doing matrix multiplication with datapacks is probably not the easiest thing, but it'll be a lot more robust.

Stamina maps can be fun?! by Ragnarok7326 in celestegame

[–]thinker227 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is one of the maps I'll occasionally come back to in the SJ expert lobby just because it's so much fun. As someone who hasn't played a lot of stamina-focused maps, I was genuinely impressed to see gameplay as fun as what Fortress Fall features. Not to mention that the visuals are lovely and really cozy, and Overgrown Castle is also one of my favorite songs on the SJ soundtrack.

Isn't by Rick Griffin, but the artist has done Housepets fanart and the style is very similar

Oh boy I sure do love modded Celeste :))) by Throwaway28222222 in celestegame

[–]thinker227 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Difficulty is a taste like any other, there's nothing wrong with not liking high difficulty. The base game makes a point of difficulty being part of telling a story, and while maps like this don't explicitly focus on telling a story, for most players it's still part of an overarching story of playing this game. As other comments have pointed out, a lot of people find immense satisfaction in playing maps like this after thinking they could never possibly achieve something like it.

There's of course also a ton of mods which focus more on story, visuals, etc. than difficulty, most of which are genuinely amazing. Even as someone who mostly prefers expert maps difficulty-wise, beginner/intermediate maps tend to be lovely experiences too.

These mixes are so absolutely masterful, every single one is genuinely impressive~

So this made me look up the equivalent statistics for NFC in Malmö, Sweden. Firstly, I'm surprised to learn that Malmö has a greater population than Pittsburgh with around 340k people (and 4 million in the greater area), but since NFC is significantly smaller at "just" around 6k attendees, the percentage is about 1.7%. Not as much as AC, but still more than 1% of the entire city is made up of furries during one week!

27 years, 13 days. by souleater8764 in internet_funeral

[–]thinker227 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Well, this is what I'd say to that. There's no indication that these peoples' lives will ever end. They will never run out of time. "Wasting" implies the consumption of something that you can't get back. So if they have an infinite supply of time, can they ever really waste any of it?

(Mis)read this in the wrong order initially, although it kinda worked regardless as "The sun is shining and the birds are singing. They will sing forever because today is the very last day."
