I guess the right move was to find more appropriate software. Krita is much easier for the same task.

On the one hand, I'm a fan of open source software. On the other, it's getting pretty annoying having to look up how to do basic things using the GIMP, especially when the result of the search is "that's not what the software is for" I just wanna resize something.

At first I thought they were reusing Leo-S (don't look it up) parts on the right shoulder, but checking Dalong, it's a new runner. Between that, the clear parts, and clear action base, Bandai spent good money developing this.

PS5 controller compatibility is wild. Either the game has such good support (in 1 out of 100 games) that you get fancy rumble and adaptive triggers, or the device is useless without Steam Input turned on or DS4Windows spoofing it into an Xbox pad.

3 generations of PlayStations with USB controllers and they all need some 3rd-party homebrewed application to work right in most games. Sony won the final console war, but they lost the controller war.

I'm playing XCOM: Enemy Unknown for the first time in over a decade. This game is too cool! It feels like a boutique, "legacy" campaign board game, right down to the dice rolls to hit. Ran a mission to extract a Triad defector and his stolen alien artifact. Then he joined the away team! Sick!

I'm reminded of the Chris Rock selfies that helped push me to adopt a zero-violation policy behind the wheel. Not to mention Philando Castile. Sure (tailgater), I can do 5-10 over, or, I can go home without providing the probable cause that might get me killed off the strength.

With some light sanding, maybe a bit of spray can topcoat, the result is probably pretty similar anyway. But I gotta caution against using cheapo spray booths if you ever decide to start using the fancy cancer-fumes chemical paints. Should be fine for acrylic, tho. Also, some pros use nail polish.

Out of 11 tracks, Old Lungs is the only one that didn't go in the rotation. Great work. I wish folks like him got more shine, cause his Reddit album post only got 2 comments.
Noetic (@itnoetic.blacksky.app)
As a hard contrast to Joey's new album, I'm listening to DIRTWAVE, VOL. 3. 7 tracks in and it's 7 new tracks in my rotation. Consistency!!! Shoutouts to Boldy James for recording Mr. Ten08 with him and putting him on my radar. What an incredible producer. What an ear for sampling. What a vibe
Noetic (@itnoetic.blacksky.app) reply parent
Checked Reddit's response. It's mostly the opposite of mine. I guess I'm right about the crossing over Joey's about to do.
Noetic (@itnoetic.blacksky.app) reply parent
5 out of 11 tracks in the rotation is really good, but I feel like I might actually hate this man's next album. They're gonna have to add "singer" to his wikipedia page.
Noetic (@itnoetic.blacksky.app) reply parent
LONELY AT THE TOP - I mean, yeah, directly invoking Gang Starr goes in the rotation. But after Underwater and 3 Feet Away, it almost rings hollow. I dunno. I feel like Joey's next album might be more singing if his new fans outnumber/outlisten/outspend his old ones.
Noetic (@itnoetic.blacksky.app) reply parent
3 FEET AWAY - More of what I don't really want to hear from Joey. What is this, man? This is giving Drake. SPEEDIN' THROUGH THE RAIN - It's okay. No rotate. STILL - Rotation material. Statik Selektah at it again. Shouts to Ab-Soul and Rapsody. Phew! Album is back on code.
Noetic (@itnoetic.blacksky.app) reply parent
X amount of tracks for fans, Y for real heads, Z for the radio, A for the club, etc. Less art piece and more a product put out to make money by spreading across different vibes and audience appeals. I used to tolerate it, but not as an adult.
Noetic (@itnoetic.blacksky.app) reply parent
I don't have a good way to articulate this. Freddie Gibbs singing? Cool. Roc Marciano singing? I'm wit it. Joey Badass singing? He sounds like he's trying to expand his audience. I feel put off the same way I did by Benny's Everybody Can't Go. Like the structure mainstream albums would follow.
Noetic (@itnoetic.blacksky.app) reply parent
BK's FINEST - The Joey sound. A posse cut with Rome Streetz and CJ Fly over a Statik production. Yes! Shades of Crooklyn Dodgers. UNDERWATER - Good beat. Then the singer starts the intro, ok. Oh, the singer got a verse too, ok. Wait. The singer is transitioning into ra... it was Joey? Excuse me?
Noetic (@itnoetic.blacksky.app) reply parent
SUPAFLEE - The instrumental's main instrument, that starts the song off, sounds awful to me, which cost this album the uninterrupted first listen. HIGHROLLER - It's okay. Below par for the rotation. READY TO LOVE - This is not what I listen to Joey for. What is this? A rapid skip.
Noetic (@itnoetic.blacksky.app)
I've been looking forward to Joey Bada$$'s new album all year. Had it play during the commute today. DARK AURA - Right into the rotation. This is the sound I listen to Joey for. SWANK WHITE - I know my music discovery method is sound when favs collaborate. Shoutouts to Westside Gunn. #hiphopsky

I recommend you watch the Gundam Thunderbolt ONAs, especially on Blu-ray, at some point. It's 0079-era but non-canon. It's gritty and very aesthetic-forward. Hand-drawn animation with IMO the best soundtrack of any Gundam show.

Sounds simple enough to me. But it's the not understanding the decisionmaking process of companies like bsky at times like these that makes me glad I moved to a different PDS.

The first couple weeks, HxH Nen Impact was a lot of fun. But 1.5 months in, the meta has degenerated to basically disconnecting your opponent's controller within the first 0 to 6 seconds, and sticking chewed gum in the port for the remainder of the game. HnK with the occasional dropped TOD. F that

Back when I could afford Netflix, I once found out the queue limit was 500 entries by getting the process of browsing and adding to my queue without watching anything down to a science. With 1600+ Steam games, I realize I am now doing the same with PC gaming. At least there's no monthly fee.

I don't fault them for putting out new stuff anyway tho. Like Roc Marciano is still consistently good. The Alchemist, Madlib. Producers still got it cause their careers work differently I guess.

The hunger that made them legendary turned, at some point, to satisfaction/complacency with their previous accomplishments. The new Slick Rick album is a case in point. It's way, way, way worse than Art of Storytelling. New Weezy is unlistenable. Liberation 2 was awful. Etc. etc.

Something similar could be said about the Devil May Cry sequels or Resident Evil remakes. I never felt right about Snake's English VA, though. Japan kept their original cast, but not us. Felt like personal Hollywood fandom was being put over fan's wishes. It's nice when we get what we want.
