on Tuesdays and Thursdays, i read the news. it's better than reading it every day... right?

The wikipedia article mentions Lieberman and Ted Kennedy's reactions, but IIRC the WH wasn't super jazzed about it either.

awkwardly explaining that when i said i was crabby because i'm cutting i didn't mean my wrists i meant my diet
>>448
who even hears that and immediately assumes it's an egregious reference to self-harm and not one of the many other meanings of "to cut"
I didn't realize it until 4 hours into my shift, but I'm definitely sick and I want to die.

"Common features of denpa songs include intentionally off-key vocals, nonsensical lyrics and an over-the-top tune."
is death grips denpa?
>>455,456
I have six subscribers. My channel has no content and has never had content. It's the weirdest feeling.
>>460 This description has never sat well with me, it's never that the vocals are "intentionally" off-key, the singers give it their all in a way that it doesn't matter if they don't quite hit the notes sometimes, it's the enthusiasm and conviction that makes it endearing. Lyrics and subject matter might be weird but I don't think I'd go so far as to say they're nonsense either...
>>462 i mean of course it doesn't hit every nuance of what makes something denpa, denpa is a feeling.
"intentionally off key" could also mean just not singing in the same time as the instrumentals. this specifically drew my eye for this offhand shitpost because mc ride does exactly that in a lot of songs.
is viper denpa
>>463 Then it would be off-time, not off-key. Something that thrills me about denpa is that sometimes something will seem off-key or off-time the first time you hear it, but then after repeated listening you realise it's actually perfect, you were just listening from the wrong angle the first time - something I also love about Captain Beefheart's music!
I ended up buying puyo puyo tetris just to practice for tetris 99 what
some people (and that includes the dictionary) say off-key when it's merely out of tune. i personally would never use it to describe someone who is out of tune but otherwise pretty in-key.
I meant the "intentionally" part, it's not deliberately not singing in key/tune/time that denpasong is about, though some of the juiciest bits for me are when there's just the perfect divine naffness at the perfect moment in a song, I get tingles all over my body...
Don't think I've heard any denpa, but I like the odd track where everything's a bit off-time or out of tune, but there's a moment or two when they do get it right that works in the same way as when better-performed pieces briefly find cadence. Like the Evanenscense chord progression, but less overused.
>>469 Imagine your little sister singing karaoke, and it's adorable how seriously she's getting into being a little popstar, but also a bit frightening how complex the songs are and how much finesse she's nailing them with, albeit in her shrill young gleefully hyper voice
also i never got involved in those internet fights about temperaments because i just can't hear the difference, but i do get that that slight detuning that creates a sort of interference pattern that raises my hackles is a pleasingly energetic goosebumps thing for someone else
thinking of notes as pure tones that should always fall exactly upon the frequencies dictated by the temperament is not considered particularly good music makin' for this reason, yet it seems to get taught in classes and such with appalling frequency, no pun intended
What's some good denpa?
>>471
Luckily, no physical instrument is completely perfectly tuned, and you get nice warm synthesizers by detuning the oscillators by a couple of cents
I love you, I really do.
>>474
yeah, thank goodness
i don't listen to a lot of brass ensemble stuff, but the way they can fall into (or out of) just-intoned chords a lot is kinda hypnotic
i also find it amusing that iosys is kinda one of the cores of denpa but they habitually jump through so many genres that it seems to be a mere plurality of what they do, as if their true loyalty is to otakuness.

The genre-bending is one of the other main things I love about denpa!

not-so-hot take: sweet bro and hella jeff was the only good thing to come out of homestuck
>>497
It wasn't even apart of Homestuck originally, it was a parody of those two-dudes-on-a-couch gamer comics (e.g. Penny Arcade, Ctrl-Alt-Del, etc.) that were almost everywhere back then.
The author decided to attribute SBaHJ to some kid in Homestuck, while trying to give latter SBaHJ comics a vague connection to Homestuck, and overexcited fans tried to exaggerate that connection to drag more people into Homestuck.
i disagree. it had its moments. plenty of decent fan works, too (the "official" music is more or less fan works, FWIW; i'm really glad radiation caught on with a huge audience, and i hope he remembers me when i'm famous lol).
it did run way the fuck out of steam, though. i remember someone on the MSPAF in early 2012 made a throwaway comment that maybe 2011 was the peak and i gotta hand it to them. i watched that forum die painfully in its last two years and didn't bother to follow the "refugees" because a lot of the people i liked had lost interest by then.
maybe it coulda gone somewhere neat from there. it just didn't. and perhaps we were expecting too much of hussie's ability to make ridiculous escalations of scope with astonishing frequency after problem sleuth and acts 1-4~5ish. partly to blame is that he doubled down on long passages and time-consuming flash productions. so, the ending felt like a well earned mercy killing more than anything.
and of course, his writing was kind of painful all the way through, which mattered way less before it became a heavily dialogue-driven novel with barely tolerable characters and some of the ones i liked best "developing" into worse instead of better personalities.
it doesn't hold up well as prose, i think; all the referential stuff is becoming "so last decade", thankfully, sure, but even when it was current i enjoyed it like i enjoy "one of my japanese animes"--more for the feeling and the setting than anything. i never much cared for the crowd that'd talk about "good" it was or wasn't.
the only way i'm ever giving it a re-read is if i'm translating it into easier terms for the ESL crowd.
>>499
I'm confused by your first paragraph, are you saying you were friends with Toby Fox on the mspa forums?
I loved Problem Sleuth but gave up on Homestuck around the time the trolls were introduced. I found the dialogue just too insufferable at that point.
>>500
no, we hardly conversed, but it's quite unlikely he didn't see me around either, i was too into the music for that
>>501
fair enough. one of the actual lines that i vaguely remember fondly is "It begins to dawn on you that everything you are about to do may prove to have been a colossal waste of time."

Sounds gay.

Problem Sleuth was good, and I wish I had more to say on that matter.
I started using my sandbox kareha install for dumb posts I'd otherwise just delete after typing out, but I ended up effectively only posting on there. Going back feels weird. Would not recommend.

TL-checked the "man of culture" line and not only is it correct, the deliberate misinterpretation of it as a euphemism for lecher, dilettante, etc. is also correct. Nice.

In my mind, I created it. And every one of you knows it. You read it. It's here. You hear what I'm telling you? You can ban a meme but you cannot destroy an idea. Don't you understand? That's ancient knowledge. You cannot destroy an idea. That meme! I created it, and it's real. Don't you understand? It is real! I created it and it's real! It's real! Oh, God.

The script says that Benny wrote six sequels to the original. Assuming he went in production order and started with "Emissary", that takes us through "Dax". Carrying things forward to "Shadows and Symbols", he clearly continued writing. So one of the first stories Benny wrote after giving that speech was "Move Along Home". After standing up to all the rest of civilization for the sake of his ideas, he wrote a story with the theme "if you die playing alien hopscotch, you die IN REAL LIFE". What a legend.

accidentally left gpt-2 running in the background and it used up 135% of my cpu somehow

Maybe that has a little to do with why I saw Mukku reaction images yesterday.
so the NZ shooter dude:
-livestreamed the whole thing
-had an entire playlist full of meme songs set to synch perfectly, including playing "gas gas gas" while driving away from the police
-shouted "alright lads, remember to subscribe to pewdiepie" before opening fire
-published an 87 page manifesto full of memes including the navy seal copipe
-learned about ethnic nationalism from spyro the dragon

I thought this was a joke, but no I read the manifesto and it's all true. As much as the idea of this little bitch becoming an icon among internet fascists sickens me, I am looking forward to the headlines "Christchurch Shooter Claims to be Involved with Secret Raids on Al-Quaeda".
>>541 Basically my thoughts also. I wish I could watch the court proceedings where the judge has to read all that shit off.
>>541 I was thinking this all day, it's always heartbreaking when these atrocities happen, but the fact that the perpetrator is such a fanny makes my blood boil.
The only thing I know about Christchurch is there's a fellow dokyun from around there, hope you're safe if you're reading this!
