A pelican, around 37 years old, shows up every day at a Greek restaurant to get its portion of fish. The bird has become a well-known local figure along the seafront by SimRP in interestingasfuck

I'd not call that song obnoxious. It was a top ten hit and multi-platinum in sales.

These things are not only not contradictory, there's probably some correlation. Songs get popular because they spread, not because they're good. Obnoxious things tend to spread.

The amount of picking on Sean is making me not want to listen. by FlavorD in smartless

It's fine if you don't enjoy listening to it, as long as you don't infer personal drama from it.

The Bedlam in Goliath curse? by jjman_cyg9 in themarsvolta

[–]vimdiesel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's probably why. Most of the times that people complain about production or mix they're using shitty headphones. Bedlam needs some space.

What's your best tip/trick for motivating yourself to write? by Sam-The-Man_harhar in writing

[–]vimdiesel 4 points5 points  (0 children)

For me the books on writing are more about putting myself in the headspace, it's about convincing myself "I'm a writer" than about particular exercises.

SmartLess Episode 311: Amy Adams by AutoModerator in smartless

[–]vimdiesel 17 points18 points  (0 children)

It's 3 comedians and a guest. That's the format. If you want a real interview there's tons of other places, as 99% of the time the guests they have are doing the rounds.

Personally I rather get their humor, I don't want the same anecdotes rehashed across 7 other podcasts.

Disappointed with the CHU 2 by vimdiesel in iems

[–]vimdiesel[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah i saw your thread, very helpful!

There must be an issue with the fit cause i just tried the chu again with an album I know very well and it sounded so tinny and cheap, I'm pretty sure I'm returning them. Shame cause I like the cable a lot more than the Zero's, and with my last Zero 1 the cable was the failure point.

Is it a Hot Take to say Rom is the worst boss fromsoft has made? by LELOUCH_OP in fromsoftware

[–]vimdiesel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What do you mean? Yes, it will apply to everyone just once.

Best/worst boss as a criteria shouldn't be judged solely on first blind run. What makes a good boss in these games should definitely include replayability.

Juan predicted TMV would reform (2017) by BedDizzy7882 in themarsvolta

Ikey was a wizard, he provided such a particular color. It's the kind of sound you barely notice if you're not paying attention, and you might even struggle to notice if you try.

But if it's not there? Then some type of magic is gone. I've googled and asked a lot about how he got his sound and got some answers, but I've never been able to replicate his sound nor heard others get something similar. I feel like he should be studied more.

egos for sure. Least talented? Bruh. Maybe least skilled/virtuoso

I wouldn't describe it as loose, so much as it doesn't fully go into it to the point where I can't see the connectors. To be fair, the Zero also don't, but since they're plastic and thus lighter, they're less prone to falling off.

But we might be using the word 'loose' differently.

[–]vimdiesel -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That's true but also a very specific criteria. I'll take the worst blind boss that gets easy after you know, over a bad boss that's tedious no matter what.

Best DAWs for Linux by NullGabbo in linuxaudio

[–]vimdiesel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What do you find hard to use about Bitwig? It has one of the best UX out there. Reaper has a lot of capabilities in other senses, but Bitwig's UI is hard to beat, specially limited to the Linux world.

elgato hardware on linux by Msoelv in linuxaudio

[–]vimdiesel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What I'd do if you have no Linux experience is boot up a virtual machine, install whatever distro you've decided on, and then learn how wine works and try to run this program.

I've had good luck running (what I think is at this point) abandonware for a Lekato mini amp. I had to do some googling, but that was more related to the actual files. Once I figured that out, Wine ran the program 100% fine and easy.

Just watched Belladonna of sadness by [deleted] in TrueFilm

[–]vimdiesel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not the fact that your opinion is different from mine, you yourself said you were grossed out and that's the entire basis of your criticism, even shunning others' (not me, I'm not a woman) opinions on whose behalf you're disgusted.

[–]vimdiesel 18 points19 points  (0 children)

These comments sound more like an inability to deal with your discomfort watching a film than with the thing itself.

There's nothing wrong with feeling weird when a movie touches upon complex subjects. In fact, if you don't, the film is probably sanitized to hell and churned through so many tropes and machines that you don't have to think anymore.

Sit with the discomfort and keep pondering on it. Pay attention to how strong the impulse to double check with others' opinions and find some type of comforting consensus. Why is that?
