My sexual preference is Bassist, Bassist, Bassist.

[–] [email protected] 29 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Bassist here. This is already more attention than usual.

Impossible to know what percentage more since can't divide by 0 ;)

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (2 children)

So three bassists?

I propose to you one of my fav album, SMV, for Stanley Clarke, Marcus Miller & Victor Wooten :

I think my favs are Thunder, Pendulum and Los tres hermanos.

Ooh, this was great! Thanks for the rec.

As an ex-drummer, I enjoyed how stylishly understated the drums were. I used to enjoy leaning into a mock rivalry with bassists, the humour of which was partly anchored in the deep solidarity of being rhythm-section

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

My pleasure.

I'm a amateur bassist, so in the mock rivalry I'd say this is showing how much of the rhythm-section bassists can fill ^^

And we can also do some dope harmony. I love the jokes about how bassist are translators between drummers and guitarists.

Victor Wooten has lessons on YouTube where he does emphasize that a lot.

oh shit I am a little ashamed I didn't know this existed but I am way more happy that I have this to treasure for the rest of my life

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

Yeah, It's a one time thing they did so it went under the radar of lots of people. Also why I shared it, glad I made you happy <3

Its more likely than you think.

This reminded me of the "All or Nothing" drama from Tumblr, holy shit. IYKYK

[–] [email protected] 14 points 3 months ago (3 children)

My search-fu is failing me, mainly because there's a film and TV show with that name dominating results.

Can I get a TL;DR?

Does anyone like 1-hour video essays, though? (I mean appreciate it vs nothing, but as a blanket statement...)

[–] [email protected] 11 points 3 months ago (2 children)

I watched a 4 hour essay about the star wars Disney hotel...also I think there was a 3 hour one about how awful star trek Picard was.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago (1 children)

The Disney hotel one was with that weird chick and she's great. 10/10 would blow away my time on that again. However, YouTube is filled with literal garbage.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago (1 children)

that weird chick and she's great.

Jenny Nicholson, for anyone interested. There's an equally long one about a failed permanent Renaissance Faire that's a real trip, too. Almost all of them are a fun diversion, really.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Yeah she's hilarious. Weird isn't a bad thing, but...I mean just check out her channel. Plush spider episode? 🫥

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

Also an unexpectedly fun trip. "Weird and great" is pretty accurate for the channel!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

Both were great, but both also took me a week to get through, a piece at a time.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

For me - not necessarily for concentrated viewing, but I can deal better with some boring tasks when I have something in the background that keeps my brain occupied, be it a podcast, a long video essay, or whatever else.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

Agreed on background

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

I can watch two of those per workday, on my bus commute to/from work. Usually end up watching history documentaries instead (currently going through a 6 hours one detailing the Franco-Prussian war of 1870, gonna be an interesting week)

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

Yes. I watch essays even longer that that.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

The longer the better. All videos should have a minimum length of 1 hour.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 months ago

Took a quick look and it appears a group of people wanted to shoot a live action series with similar trappings as the OP picture. They did a kickstarter for 5k and were unable to deliver on that budget.

This is from 30 seconds of research, so grain of salt and all that.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 3 months ago

As an AroAce person, very relatable :3

My sister was born first so I think she just took all of the attraction genes in the dressing room and left me with crumbs.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Lmao I meant the genes that determine how much attraction you feel towards people (she is pan and I'm ace), but she probably took most of the attractiveness ones too.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

Haha either way, I was just goofin'.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

Both are valid and a very clear sign that I should stay away from either of those
