Comment on Which covers did it better than (or put a fresh twist on) the original? in ~music

I discovered him years ago from his Major to Minor covers of Amazing Grace and the Star-Spangled Banner, but every cover he does is amazing.
Two specific highlights off the top of my head: Major to Minor cover of Deeper from Moana, and Dance Monkey using toys. I actually heard his cover before the original. When I heard the original for the first time on the car radio with my dad, I was so disappointed by it and played Chase's cover for him afterwards.
One more awesome cover that's WAY too underrated: Rat, by LittleJayneyCakes. Another cover I heard before the original. Jayn's voice and the remixed instrumentals just really hit a good note for me, and the message resonates hard.
I'll leave it there because my next instinct is to start bringing up Vocaloid and other Japanese music covers which is very extensive. The cover scene is huge in both Japanese and English and people can put BIG spins on them, there's all sorts of metal and rock covers and remixes... Actually screw it, here's Kagerou Daze with a chorus of 50 singers and orchestral music. Yet again the version I heard first, and it's just so damn grand and powerful that the original has always felt pale in comparison.
If anyone wants more covers from that scene, I'd be happy to make a list xD

Sorry for reminding you about emperor penguins. But the rest of your comment reminded me of this video I meant to post about prairie dogs having a language. And also another story about a ten-year-old boy confirmed that butterflies can retain memories from when they were caterpillars—and their offspring can inherit the memories. (Also, that story is just so sweet because he started the experiments after noticing the butterflies he raised would fly back to him when he tried to release them.)
It's always been kind of obvious to me that animals have some level of consciousness. I thought scientists had already acknowledged that? I mean, just... any extended interaction with animals can make it clear that they're capable of experiencing lingering trauma, or develop preferences for certain foods or activities, or develop grudges against specific humans, etc.
Speaking of grudges, there's a snake named Tofu that very explicitly hates Markiplier for some reason. And this apparently goes against everything we know about snakes because apparently snakes aren't supposed to distinguish people by faces, so this hilarious grudge may actually be some sort of big scientific breakthrough. Though based on other videos, Tofu is also just a very weird snake in general xD

He spent his playthrough of the Shadow of the Colossus remake geeking out over how revolutionary the original game was, it honestly felt pretty educational. He's the kind of fan who gets deep into lore and production, and really cares about quality.
I can't remember if he's played Bloodborne on his channel or not, but looking it up, he got a tattoo for it and calls it his favorite game ever. So he's definitely a big fan, which feels promising for the quality of this film. I don't think he's the type of guy who'd stick his name on a project unless he was confident it would be good and stay true to the series.

There's not really many dedicated spaces for venting about being caught up in a war—and even then, I'd say Tildes is absolutely the right place for it. If you were writing articles about your experience, chances are someone would link it here since it's rare to get a firsthand perspective of life in Iran right now. Seeing your experience as raw posts here on Tildes though is even more impactful.
What I love about this site is that it's a community. I love that I recognize names and can associate things like jobs and interests with them. I love that we can band together and support each other in times of need. We literally have a monthly mental health check-in thread. Even with people I barely know, who I've never interacted with, I feel a sense of connection just because we're all a part of Tildes. And even the smallest personal connection can make things feel more real. This is the type of online community that's become sadly rare.
So continue sharing your troubles, and your triumphs, and everything else! None of us are complaining, and I think I speak for everyone when I say we're always happy to see posts from you. Seriously, your other comment is pretty thought-provoking, particularly the bit about rain and how everything is so much greener. I don't know if weather control is at that level, but that feels almost like some divine sign of approval.
If you need ideas for a project, maybe you can try getting into photography (assuming you have access to cameras) or something similar to document the changes in scenery? I think most people would be trying to document daily life, so tracking the changes in nature would be fairly unique and could be a nice change of pace.

but seriously I kinda want live updates of penguin drama now -

After we bought it, the master bedroom actually felt smaller without any furniture in it and almost narrow. Had it been empty from the start, I would've questioned if my mom's king-sized bed would leave enough walking room. The presence of furniture can really alter your perspective of a room's size.
The furniture also covered some of the really worn spots on the old carpet. We planned to totally replace the flooring anyway, but just an amusing benefit of staging a house.

Geeks will turn out in droves for things we like. Even a mini-marathon of some popular IP, not a premiere, could draw some decent crowds.

The DLC is also fairly worth it. Pretty sure I got a bundle with all of them during a sale because I don't often buy DLC, but I had it from the start. From the reviews, the "Better Save Soul" DLC in particular seems like it may be more useful if you have it from the start rather than buying it later due to its impact on mechanics...?

Namely: they need to be a member for at least 3 years, they must have amassed 500,000 cumulative votes, and must have made 100 comments labeled "Exemplary" as labeled by at least 50 different individuals.
Will anyone meet those last two requirements? I have no idea, but if they do, I'd say they've earned the right to be trusted with images.
Also it'd be funny to see someone very obviously respected randomly post a meme image once in a while and see other people freak out -
Comment on Nvidia's DLSS 5 video taken down due to copyright issue after news site uses the footage in ~tech

An Italian news channel played some clips from the official announcement... and then it copyright-striked videos with that clip, including Nvidia's own announcement video.
Then due to a lack of any human oversight in the system, content creators have to go through the formal dispute process which gives the claimant 30 days to respond, during which time the video is demonetized and unavailable to most viewers. (I think the news channel has already released the dispute, or at least they did for at least one major creator.)
Youtube's copyright system is notoriously bad, and their AI systems in general have been particularly bad in recent months. But this might be the most egregious example yet since all the videos were nearly a month older than the one uploaded by the news channel, and could easily be handled by having a single human looking at this mess at ANY point. It's pretty ridiculous this happened at all, and just highlights how broken Youtube's automated systems are right now.

Title says everything. The fact this is even possible is pretty wild to me.

Comment on Wireless Festival cancelled after Kanye West blocked from coming to UK in ~music

And is also still, at...It's wild they decided to have him headline given just... Everything. Seriously, even without the antisemitic stuff, for a long while Kanye just sounded genuinely insane. And is also still, at last report, a Trump supporter. That would inevitably bring politics into any discourse about him headlining.
Now, I'm fairly sympathetic to the guy. As far as I can tell his mental decline started after his mom died due to complications from getting plastic surgery, and he even stated that he blamed himself for her death. Once I learned that, it explained so much about him and made most of his big scandals feel more sad than anything. That sort of guilt can absolutely shatter a mentally sound person, and I'm fairly sure he was already having struggles at the time. Sinking deeper into mania and delusions would be much more appealing than living with that reality, and he was surrounded by enablers who wouldn't push him to get help and instead would even use him for their own benefit.
And all that is also why having him headline is such a bad idea. The media already had no problems taking advantage of him at his lowest and broadcasting his every word. Putting him in the spotlight so directly when he's only just started addressing his mental health is way too risky, especially with the current political and societal landscape. We're all on edge, and a guy with a very well documented and public record of antisemitic statements and calling himself a Nazi just last year... Well, the guy's an easy and obvious target.
I'm all for forgiveness and second chances, but his apology wasn't even three months ago. Even if he's sincere and has sought treatment, it takes a lot of time and effort to build one's mental fortitude and stability after even "short" episodes. The public scrutiny and backlash has a strong chance of crumbling whatever mental fortitude he's managed to build in this very short time and send him back into a spiral.

I wish I could provide more than just moral support, but I am just happy to know you're alive. As long as you're alive, there's hope for a brighter tomorrow. I REALLY hope that tomorrow comes sooner than later.
I wonder if there's any new, smaller goal that you can make for yourself now that you've completed the beatsaber map. Even the tiniest little thing to look forward to can help people get through hard days.
Also, does anyone know a good place to share the Beatsaber map? I don't play it or know anyone with a VR headset, but I'd like to see someone playing it!
Not exactly what I meant, but apparently it actually works. Actually that seems like an awesome option for blind gamers!
That said, I'm pretty sure I did see someone on reddit get Skyrim loaded on their smart fridge years ago. But not the same as a photo or video of someone sitting in a kitchen chair with a controller in hand, staring very intently at their fridge door xD
