Alright, since it looks like we got most of our complaints/opinions about current music out of our system, how about something simpler?

If given the choice of only watching movies, tv shows or documentaries for the rest of your time alive, which one would it be? I'm not mentioning music or video games since the choice would be way too easy for some of you blip #126683. For me I would choose tv shows over anything else. Documentaries are very unlikely to catch my interest but there can be exceptions. Movies aren't usually my thing either since if I didn't like it the first time or had problems with it after a certain point why would I want to watch it again. Tv shows I can tolerate the most since if there's a few bad episodes I can just skip them (unless the show builds upon the last or some previous episodes so I'll miss context for how things happened)

@savageorange: You know what, I have to agree with that. If you ask me to mention 10 bad songs I've listened to in the past year, I won't be able to answer that. Let alone songs made even earlier. But if it were good songs, then it's just a walk in the park. I think this closes the case for me.

Yeah, I upvote pretty much anything that interests me enough to click on and I look at and go "yeah that's pretty good" or "that looks cool". I'm very loose with them because I have my favorites for posts I really like. Whereas downvoting, a post has to really irritate me to warrant it, since otherwise I just feel bad for reducing the score on an otherwise perfectly fine image. Anything I don't really have a strong opinion on I don't vote on.

There is a real selection effect going on. Take the older stuff. Of course it seems better. Why would people bother mentioning or archiving music (or art, etc..) if it's forgettable?
Nostalgia is a separate phenomena IMO but acts to reinforce this selection effect (because, why would we (as individuals, this time) bother remembering music/art/etc that's forgettable? That seems as if it would be positively nonfunctional.)

Whereas contemporary creative work has only had a minimal level of filtering by the time we experience it.

I think that's pretty normal. First of all, people uploading will have a bias towards things they like, and, as social beings, we tend to like some of the things others like, in other words, you like more posts than those you don't because it's in the nature of posts to have a higher chance of being liked. Alternatively, you upvote more posts because you're smart and you pay less attention to the things you would downvote unless the evoke a specially strong reaction, which is also natural.

that is part of it, yes, but there's a bigger picture. Imagine you're a kid and you like music, you listen to it a lot and get used to how it sounds. But music isn't made by kids, it's made by grown-ups who, unlike kids, have an understanding of time context and the fact it changes. Because of this, what you'll see is that the music you're used to will not be made anymore, and what comes after will be different, not what you like, and you'll refuse to hear it. This is a childish reaction, yes, and someone who matures should grow out of it, but we know some people refuse to mature as well.

That's fine. I'm just saying I'm getting sick of seeing the same crap all over the comments. There's some good stuff around the 2010's I like and some stuff from 2000's and as early as the 70's, but all I'm saying is this feels like a neverending loop of people repeating the same comment with nothing original. I almost miss the t.m.i. posts of what the songs reminded them of in their past such as a death or loss. Yeah I get it, there's more crap nowadays but it ain't all crap. You'll just have to grab a shovel and start digging around more than usual compared to other years, find indie musicians who can fill that niche (because I'm sure the music industry now has gotten a bit too safe and less risk heavy), or if you've got the time, effort and skill you could make your own love letter to the songs or genres your a fan of.

Hi all hope youre doing okay

Rant aside, I've been worse.

@Grab-n-Stash: I've been saying for years that new music is shit. Most of what I regularly listen to was recorded between 1980 and 2000.

@Grab-n-Stash: There's always going to be bad/mediocre music and music will always change, just like fashion trends, tastes in food, people, etc. Disco, Gansta Rap, Doo-wop, Slow Jams, old fashioned love songs, people singing about their past and many other kinds of genres can and would eventually be less seen produced after a while, with newer generations changing the playing field and maybe doing some callbacks with samples of the older songs they liked or inspired them. Rambling aside, my point is no matter what, it seems like there's just a constant circle of people complaining about how things were back then and can't seem to understand that while some of what they say can be right, things will never be static. Maybe its just human nature for people to have this mindset, but for better or worse, things can and will change whether they like it or not.

I've got a long rant incoming so expect an essay or wall of text amount of words. Yesterday I was looking through YouTube to put some more music on my playlist from when I was younger, when I noticed that almost all the comment sections I was looking through had at least two to three comments bare minimum saying something along the lines of " Who's still listening to this in (insert current year the comment was made)" or "they don't make songs like these anymore" and I'm over here thinking why is this a thing being repeated like we got a hive mind or bots. What was playing back in the day was a product of its time just like the music in the past and what we have now. It feels like I'm seeing a repeat of the older generation complaining about what the younger generation and how its worse with nothing but rose tinted glasses, only this time its the people in their late 20s-40s.

The main purpose of the tags were to be able to distinguish between animations like post #4798565 (obvious motion tweening for head/arm/etc movement) and post #4443977 (obvious redrawing for head/penis/etc movement). A lot of people have a strong dislike for the former style of animation, even if there may be a few redrawn frames of animation here and there, but are fine with the latter, even if some movement is a result of "tweening".

But making them mutually exclusive under all circumstances makes it impossible to find posts that do utilize both, for those interested in that. Complex blacklists exist for this exact reason.

After all, tags aren't just for blacklisting.

The line is hard to draw, though. Maybe we should open a thread about this.

Nimphia said:
The issue is that it's sometimes hard to tell what the "primary animation style" is on some posts, as the line is blurred. I don't think the two should be mutually exclusive, but I definitely think we can leave the tag off for minor usage of one, while still leaving both when both are notably used.

This might be another "search vs blacklist" conflict issue since my thought was that I like to search the motion tweening tag for inspiration.

so, when a null character has a bulge roughly the position and size of where balls and penis would go we call that null_bulge. similar to how bulge works, except their anatomy is just like that, rather than it being something under clothes.

I don't think I've come across any cases of this, but what would we call the tag for the other case? like, I don't think we have a tag for when a character's body just has the vague topography of the labia majora between their legs but no hole. under clothes it's called camel_toe... so, would it be, like uhh... camnull_toe?

@Watsit:

Working on cleaning up motion_tweening frame_by_frame to remove the ones that are mainly one with minor details of the other.

post #4206359

But I don't think my ability to search for posts utilizing both (because I think that's cool! and I doubt I'm the only one who does) should be affected when people can just add "motion_tweening -frame_by_frame" to their blacklist.

@Watsit:

In the case of post #4487513 the sash/scarf thing is tweened! The latter makes sense, and I'm not sure why I added it to be honest.

The good thing is that tags and wikis can always be adjusted to find the best compromise c:

Nimphia said:
Redid the wikis for frame_by_frame and motion_tweening because for some reason they implied the two were mutually exclusive when that's... Blatantly (and very often) untrue?

Honestly I feel those tags should be used for what the animation style primarily is, not whether any aspect of it has been tweened or has redrawn frames. I doubt people looking for motion tweening are looking for things like post #4487513 (I'm not even sure how that's motion tweening, to be honest?), and I doubt people who blacklist motion tweening will want something like post #4781593 blocked because there's some pan and scan going on for still frames where the animation itself is otherwise frame-by-frame. They're two distinct animation styles that people can have strong preferences for, and I don't think it will be helpful to tag them both when it's primarily one and a minor detail utilizing the other.

Also the motion tweening wiki was just kind of outdated in general :P

Honestly frame_by_frame -motion_tweening could use cleanup bc while looking for examples I found a good handful that used tweening, either partially or even fully...

Day 9 of using Linux.

I tried to extend the partition where Linux is installed using this software that is safe according to the FAQ, and that has never given any issues according to my friend who also uses Linux.

In a very much unrelated news, which totally has nothing to do with the above sentence, the Linux partition is now corrupted. I can no longer boot to it, and I no longer have access to the $54 commission I was working on last night. Thankfully, I have a backup, but it was from a few days ago.
