Have a sneer percolating in your system but not enough time/energy to make a whole post about it? Go forth and be mid!
Any awful.systems sub may be subsneered in this subthread, techtakes or no.
If your sneer seems higher quality than you thought, feel free to cutānāpaste it into its own post, thereās no quota for posting and the bar really isnāt that high
The post Xitter web has spawned soo many āesotericā right wing freaks, but thereās no appropriate sneer-space for them. Iām talking redscare-ish, reality challenged āculture criticsā who write about everything but understand nothing. Iām talking about reply-guys who make the same 6 tweets about the same 3 subjects. Theyāre inescapable at this point, yet I donāt see them mocked (as much as they should be)
Like, there was one dude a while back who insisted that women couldnāt be surgeons because they didnāt believe in the moon or in stars? I think each and every one of these guys is uniquely fucked up and if I canāt escape them, I would love to sneer at them.
in the last couple of years Iāve gotten back into sound (used to work live/tv sound ages back, been trying to learn more production and shit) and as a result of that Iāve gotten to know a looooooot of synth/production/effect/ā¦ related things
and christ it hurts to listen to that
I thought that the overproduction and heavy autotune was appropriate to the subject.
On topic:
āTape machines ought to be big and cumbersome and difficult to use, if only to keep the riff-raff out.ā
āSteve Albini
The obvious weird pauses (between superhuman and AI and the halfway part where suddenly nothing happens) because the AI used to made this doesnāt really understand music are also very appropriate.
gonna have to read that piece to get the context of the remark. also have a nuanced position on both the things you point to, but youāre definitely correct about the use of this in this context
sorry bro, maximum good across the quantum wave function of the universe
That is not the only bad thing, check the right side of the moons opening image, why is the moon hairy?
