I find the lens they used to film many of the shots incredibly distracting. The bokeh is outta control.

You know it. I haven’t been a fan of all of their work but I’ll always be a fan of them.
No joke, after hearing Time Of Your Life on the Seinfeld clip show episode, I found out that was Green Day and got their International Superhits album because I didn’t know any better and it has the song on it. The instant Maria kicked in, I was hooked. I hadn’t heard anything like punk music before.
CHOPSTEEQ@lemmy.mlto Games@lemmy.world•Elden Ring Nightreign’s Massive Steam Launch Tarnished by 'Mixed' User Reviews Over Lack of Duos Co-Op, Voice ChatEnglish10·27 days agoAfter playing last night, it’s not back breaking to queue up but it’s full body cast inducing getting a “bad” third player because there’s no forfeit method and you can’t even intentionally spike the run until the first boss.
CHOPSTEEQ@lemmy.mlto Fuck Cars@lemmy.world•My neighbors GMC Denali parked illegally in front of a stop sign and crosswalk, next to my other neighbors Mazda MiataEnglish9·29 days agoIf it’s any consolation I’m pretty sure the GMC Denali engines are straight up killing themselves for no reason, so the owner is probably due for some karma.
CHOPSTEEQ@lemmy.mlto Programming@programming.dev•Readers Annoyed When Fantasy Novel Accidentally Leaves AI Prompt in Published Version, Showing Request to Copy Another Writer's Style255·1 month agoWriting is a rare form of communication, borderline unique to humans. Because of that, to me, it’s fundamentally unethical to have “AI” “write” anything. It’s insulting to me on a base level, particularly when used for communication.
CHOPSTEEQ@lemmy.mlto Movies@lemmy.world•It's Movie Night tonight. 8pm Eastern. We are watching The PrestigeEnglish2·1 month agoNo I literally had no context beyond the title and vague notions of Hugh Jackman being in it, who for whatever reason I strongly associate with Les Miserables instead of anything else lol
CHOPSTEEQ@lemmy.mlto Movies@lemmy.world•It's Movie Night tonight. 8pm Eastern. We are watching The PrestigeEnglish7·1 month agoI watched this last year after avoiding it most of my life because I assumed it was some bullshit drama about drama and boy howdy was I glad to be wrong.
CHOPSTEEQ@lemmy.mlto Work Reform@lemmy.world•Gave him an offer, then took it away. Thanks PayPal.8·1 month agoThat’s exactly what promissory estoppel is for. It’s a civil tort however, not criminal, so the vibes are very different.
It’s called a natural disaster and we get along just fine. If the entire planet loses power, there’s nothing to be done, but even if an entire US state loses power, gas generators come online and trucks haul fuel in from long distances. It doesn’t take long for a grocery store or bank to open up with cash withdrawals again.
Hammock camping! My last trip was my first time sleeping in a hammock and it was a revelation.

The change is that your attribute points are distributed by you after you sleep, rather than being based on what skills you leveled up in that level. If anything this allows you to be more overpowered, I’m level 5 and have 75 strength and endurance. That’s unthinkable without minmaxing.

CHOPSTEEQ@lemmy.mlto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Is there some special process by which musicians/producers arrive at an agreed-upon tempo for a song recording?14·4 months agoA band is 3-5 ish people just vibing and making it up together. When you get into a studio, now you have at least one engineer in the group. If a record label is involved, you have their representative as well as all their money. So it’s a lot of chefs in the kitchen when it comes to making an actual recording.
The biggest influence outside of the band though is usually the engineer. As an outsider with a vested interest in making the song as good as it can be, they often have really great insight into changes that can make the song even better.
Finally, when you’re playing live even with a click track in your ear, you’re going to want to rush. And that’s ok, it’s fun to play fast. You may not even notice it. And then you go into the booth to record and you end up laying out what you had in your head from the start.
I never really clicked with Thrice as a whole for some reason, but The Alchemy Index albums are just incredible to me. They nailed the aesthetics and motifs for each of the elements, the songs are good and catchy, and are so vastly varied. It’s probably my favorite concept album(s).
CHOPSTEEQ@lemmy.mlto News@lemmy.world•Some Cybertruck Owners Say Their Trucks Are Shedding Body Panels; One Thinks He Knows Why10·4 months agoThe rear spoiler thing on my hatchback trunk is starting to peel and I thought it would be easy to remove and repaint myself. But I was surprised to learn it’s just glued on. But it’s just a trim piece of plastic with a brake light and a fluid nozzle in it. Not a body panel per se.
CHOPSTEEQ@lemmy.mlto Technology@lemmy.world•Spotify begins accepting AI-narrated audiobooks recorded using ElevenLabs' software; Spotify already allows AI-recorded audiobooks, with several restrictions.English6·4 months agoI’m as anti “AI” as they come but there’s a master Japanese carpenter on YouTube, Shoyan, who goes through the trouble of translating his commentary to English, someone proofs it because the grammar is usually perfect, and then runs it through a comforting racially ambiguous old man voice from ElevenLabs I think. And honestly? It works really well. It’s obviously not a natural voice but it’s not fake enough to be disorienting or annoying like the early types were.
I decided to start blocking the people posting them. It turns out, it was literally one user making it a spam problem. I blocked one or two more on principle and haven’t seen a moth meme since.
