discussion Anti-Social & Lurker - Hideout spot

[Squeeky]

I'm usually very critical of music rankings for obvious reasons and since history is one of my interests I tend to look at those rankings with an "historical" eye.
To make an example, if you rank bass players (a random choice, of course) by popularity within the general public, Flea would probably hit top three.
If you ask bass players, anyone below 30/35 years old will have Victor Wooten as undisputed number one. But neither Flea nor Victa would be the musicians they are today without Marcus Miller, Stanley Clarcke and Larry Graham.
I don't know I managed to explain myself.

On a totally unrelated subject, P4 is detrimental to my backreading duties...

I'm a bit of a music nerd, but more wide than deep with knowledge. Love stuff like this.
And yea, top lists are subjective. I have my top 5 80's albums that probably don't match other people's.

Did a little back reading before posting. Prepare for a quote wall! Only did a few pages of quotes though.

AI is a huge pain in my ass (even more than conzi!), but it is adding complexity to my work-life. I'm sure it will progress, and that's quite scary. Right now, I only go to AI for problems I can't solve using other tools, because it gives me a wrong answer more often than it does the right one, but give them a few more years, and I bet it will be scarier. I'd never use the phrase "ai will never" but I'm hoping it doesn't accomplish it before I choose to retire. I'd hate a world controlled by AI. They take too many dissociated facts and draw false conclusions right now. So, at least I have a job for now!

Also doing a bit of backreading, but will be a much smaller wall.
The AI stuff is very interesting, and I agree, right now it's really good at drawing the wrong conclusions. It will be interesting to see how it develops, and yea, I hope to retire before it's a pain in my ass, but my kids are doomed.

I don't know a lot about music in the technical sense, but admire those who do. I listen to music, and sometimes it just speaks to me. There are some things that just give me shivers. For guitar, David Gilmour can do that to me. Does do that to me. I'm not able to clarify why I think a musician is special, just that their work means something to me. For drummers, perhaps Neil Pert or John Bonham. I don't know enough about music to say with certainty that any one musician is among the best. I'll leave that to you and others that know more about the topic.

Dang she pretty.
And I have then same feeling about David Gilmour's guitar work. Very emotionally stirring. And Neil Pert (R.I.P.) was amazing.

deadpool 3 was the last good marvel/x-man movie, we will never see another one.

Sadly, you may be correct. I'm hopeful the current wave of poor quality will yield to better stuff as some of these young writers mature and actually write new material instead of trying to just reskin existing IP.

The beauty of music as a language is that, when done right, speaks to our instincts, to our souls, if you will. You don't need to understand its rules as you don't really need to think about the rules of your own language when speaking with someone. That's what makes people like David Gilmour great.
To give you a real example. This is a ballad from one of my heroes. Listen to it and tell me that his solo isn't the natural continuation of the lyrics.

Although we more rock tonight, I'll wait for an EDM night.

Totally down for the EDM night.

Really? It's also the latest one. You don't think the success is gonna nudge them at least a bit to try and make the following ones better? Maybe not good, but at least better.

I certainly hope so.

Okay, now I feel real stupid. What is Mario Party?

jk. Seriously, I know several people who are into fewer games than I am, and I'm probably middle of the pack.
I don't do competative multiplayer, I am that bad. But I do love Co-op games, those can be great fun.

Yo I just got this recommended on YouTube

At first glance looks like an actually decent Stardew Valley in 3D, but looking at the features listed on their website... This game is supposed to have EVERYTHING in gaming ever. There's no way it ever delivers, right..?

Stardew + Satisfactory?

Damm! 45 minutes without a single post? Well, hopefully my double post will be forgiven (or someone will post while I am writing)



You're not so alone as you might think with that.



Fuck! A Guinness has 4,2 vol, a double IPA starts tipically at 8 vol, Bell's (I checked) turned it up to 11 vol! (I wonder if that's intentional). And that's exactly my problem with american beers/ales (at least with the ones I get on my side of the pond), they always have to turn it up to eleven.
My taste buds would be overwhelmed by a single pint and you managed to drink 2 liters of that? Sir, you have my admiration.



Pine, minty flavours are typical from chinook or centennial hops (and many others "super" hops), almost obligatory ingredients in any US Double IPA.
Next time you don't find any Guinness, ask for an Irish Dry Stout (same style as Guinness) or anything they might have from the stout/porter family. I especially recommend oatmeal or milk stouts if you love that smooth mouthfeel. Just avoid anything that has Baltic or Imperial in the name.

less the ABV, the more you can drink before passing out
a guinness does go nicely with a good steak, any stout does nicely too. puts a nice cap on the fats of the steak to meld the flavor in.
I would rather have a nice sour if I'm looking for a change of pace. every once in a while I do find an IPA I like, but any double-triple IPA is too much hops.

Since they are experimenting with a lot of new high alpha acids hops, brewing a lot of IPLs (India Pale Lager) and almost going as crazy as their belgian neighborhoods (ok, nobody is as crazy as belgians when it comes to their ales) I would say that's another


That said I would take a Session IPA or an american or bohemian Pils over a double IPA ten times out of ten.

Interesting. now I'm not necessarily in favor of letting German scientists run wild and free without supervision..... that has a history of going poorly. but if it's in favor of the beer, I'd say let 'em run wild.

give me a hefeweisen over anything. a nice traditional German lager will work too

I haven't done a first person shooter since playing Doom/Hexen (yeah, that shows my age a little). I enjoy turned based stuff mostly (really loved BG3), but have considered trying something new. If I were to try something new, what would you suggest?

Ohhh Hexen is a good one!
If you wanna update a little on FPS games, then DOOM from 2016 would be a fine start.
But if you wanna jump into another genre, Steam Winter Sale, is hopefully gonna start soon, and Grim Dawn is a fun game, where you collect items and build your character, with different skills.
Suggest looking at videos first, so you can see a little about them first.

But yeah seems a little much for a game, that apparently still needs a kickstarter.

How are you doing on this day?

 

[User_106373]

Hey, Inyo! Good to see you here

Same to you. I hope everything been fine where you are and all. I didn't visit here for couple days. Just been cleaning out old caravan and today one of my goose was killed by accident. Crate fell on top and I didn't know, but other than this nothing out of normal. Just thinking what to get my partner for Christmas. Do you have plans?

Tofu is great as Tofu, put in places where it can soak up sauce and get flavor. I know it's a problem for most people, but the idea that something has to taste like meat shouldn't be the selling point.

Exactly I agree. I like Tofu in some soup-s and where it belong, but to be honest, I never had the flavor foods taste as nice as the real thing. Why will someone not eat met and then turn and say they want meat flavor? Sounds strange to me.

yes, I grew up eating a lot of red meat. that's just what the culture is. we would buy a whole cow to butcher and feed the family. but now I only eat approx. 2-4 servings of red meat per week, especially since it's store bought. more chicken than red meat now. and I get a lot of my protein from beans and nuts. fresh produce is expensive here, so I get what I get. summertime I grow my own veggies.
I definitely will never be vegan or vegetarian, but I understand why people do. but I like tasty animals haha.

I agree with you. I used eat a lot of meat. Still do, but not so much red meat. I eat some, but lot of pork, fish and some chicken. Our food cost here is also expensive, so, last couple year I been thinking to grow my own veggies, but our summertime is hot and humid, which make outside work hard for me. My X was vegan and very healthy. She never stopped me from eating meat, but I see her point and understand why vegan food can taste delicious if it is make with love and thought. I wont become vegan. I like both meat and veggies too much, but a lot of beans base food or noodles can be tasty. Here noodles is probably the top selling food, especially for students and those who don't like so much time cooking some fancy meat base food. We are lucky we have quality food here and so, it helps a lot
