I want to do this but haven't really had time to do sudokus lately.

Dang, well I'd love it if you did, but I understand how busy life can be.

lol that one is good.

that reminds me, is there a famous song from that era that has a break like that, maybe "the twist"?

Oh Casio looks different, I just assumed you misspelled Kaizo, lol

I love Kaizo mario, IIRC I beat it with save states.

Sorry, are you doubting my contributions because I can in fact stop responding to you

I googled both and didn't see songs is why I asked.

Interesting, I've never heard this before.

Japan really likes Let It Die

Foo Fighters - Let it Die

It builds in layers throughout the song until about two thirds through, when it has the noticeable pause, then cranks it up for the rest of the song.

0:00 - 1:02 = Vocals & light guitar riffs only
1:02 - 1:41 = Light drums added
1:42 - 1:55 = Bass & drum pedal added
1:56 - 2:11 = Song seemingly teases kicking in
2:12 - 2:38 = Tones it back a bit while slowly building
2:39 - 2:42 = The pause, reverting back to the first stage momentarily
2:43 = Really kicking in

Interesting, thanks for sharing

No Joe, you're just attractive right now

I'm officially confused by these posts

No, but I'm basically independent/third party from here on out.

That was the last of the goodwill I had towards humoring that mainstream politicians would deliver on campaign promises.

Yes, easily

Or, point@someone

Is this a song?

Found a few more:
Modern English - "I Melt with You"
Cake - "Short Skirt, Long Jacket"
Vengaboys - "We Like to Party!"
Whitney Houston's - "I Will Always Love You."
Semisonic - "Closing Time"
Outkast - "Hey Ya"

Not sure if it counts:
"Turn down for What?"

It might be called a "Grand Pause" or "Fermata"...

I feel like I'm missing some big examples though.

I am opposed to wishing death on people.

I know there are loads, I don't know what to call the musical term so I'm having troubling googling it, but Despacito kinda has it with the "Des... Pa... CITO *kicks in*"

What are some others? Kinda like the gap right before dubstep drops the bass, but for well known pop songs.

Anybody make any progress recently?

Me too

Also, how much better do you feel? Have you gotten any more mental clarity?

I'm trying again to lose weight, I've been up and down but fell off hard over the past 2 months.

Awesome man!

I actually want to know how to solve this, lol. Awaiting the CTC video! :D

That would be so awesome to see. And I'll be happy to provide a walkthrough as soon as somebody submits their solve here.

I've actually started theory-crafting my next puzzle today. Puzzle setting can be really addicting, spent several hours on it.

I really like Float On, but I don't know most of their songs so I'll check this out.

Japan

Not sure how long a topic has to go without a post before it's purged...

You hate Voyager that much? It's just TNG lite. If you approach the show without thinking about continuity it's not bad. It has some great episodes to go along with some really bad ones. People forget that TNG has some horrible episodes as well.

One episode that might be my favorite is "Think Tank", a great stand alone episode where George Contanza from Seinfeld plays a role. This group of aliens that are far beyond the technological level of any species in the Delta Quadrant (are they from another galaxy?) try to get Seven of Nine to join them.

I don't hate voyager, I just think it's worse than enterprise. Particuarly ENT S3/S4 (excluding finale).

VOY is the dumbest trek series and one of trek's selling points is that it's intelligent.

It still has some good episodes like blink of an eye and year of hell, etc. But overall personally I put ENT higher.

Doe posted...

Yo, what? Data has an emotion chip in? Is that a plot point in Generations? I haven't seen that movie (or TOS, really). Last time that was a thing was that shitty Lore twoparter

Yeah, watching generations helps on that front. Generations is watchable, and honestly as a script outline it's a great idea, just rubbish execution.

Doe posted...

I already seen all of it it's fantastic

Ok, after DS9 it gets debatable.

My ranking was
TNG >= DS9 > TOS >= ENT > VOY
Or alternatively
TNG >= DS9 > ENT(S3/4) > TOS > ENT(S1/2) >= VOY

Though I don't consider the finale of ENT to be canon.

Ruvan22 posted...

This is a good point - all TNG movies were criticized for making Picard more "actiony" as they needed to follow the standard movie three act structure. Given his extensive history in the show of finding/standing by peaceful solutions, it was a bit of a character break.

Yep.

The one good thing about watching the TNG movies is that afterwards you can watch the Plinkett reviews of them.

Also TC, let me know when you've finished the movie, I want to share a south park clip you'll now appreciate.

You should watch DS9 next though, if the trek bug has bit you.

Doe posted...

About a year ago I left TNG at All Good Things, possibly the greatest television finale ever. Now I miss them though, so I'm gonna watch this movie. This is apparently among the better ones!

It's probably the best of the TNG 4, with generations probably being the second best.

But it's not really TNG. Though to be fair some parts of S7 were becoming a bit more "movie TNG".

What I want is for Asian Americans to not be discriminated against under affirmative action and for Asian Americans to get more roles in TV and film that don't push someone else's agenda/narrative.

Careful defending Asians, you might be called a white supremacist (not a joke, I've seen it happen).

Yikes

What? Some british people can often have a mild-mannered slow way of doing things, you don't think of intellectual British people as manic and rushed.

Serious Cat posted...

Expected that.

Yeah, I could tell from the video you linked you were thinking that. Like I said, not a big hint at all, just might save some people some headache.

I'm excited to see who gets it, I have a feeling you and others are getting close.

Sir Cyrus posted...

I've grown to appreciate Mark as well, but Simon tends to pay more attention to the idea behind the puzzle.

Agreed. Mark has different strengths. Particularly with things like crosswords. But the division seems to be Mark = "fast workhorse, solve speed is goal", Simon = "Intelligent art appreciator, soaking up the puzzle's elegance is the goal."

And so as a setter, particularly how I like to make puzzles, I'd want a Simon solve.

Sir Cyrus posted...

Legit cool stuff, Joe. Too hard for me, but maybe CTC will like it: I think you may have submitted the puzzle to them. Good ratings so far!

Thanks

Yeah, CtC (particularly Simon) giving it a solve would be a dream come true/bucket list achievement for me.

She is very attractive

Ok, the one and only small hint I will provide:

You can resolve every color before putting in a single digit.

Why? They are great
