I think Enola Gay by Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark is a perfect example.

It sounds upbeat and fun but it's about the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima.

Some of the lyrics are incredibly powerful and I still get chills when I hear it.

I actually ended up watching all your other videos too since they weren't too long and I liked them all - definitely my kind of content! I thought the Labo stuff was especially cool so I'm looking forward to that next video you're teasing!

Thanks for sharing! The keycaps are cool but the video demo was next level! Every time I thought that was surely all you could do with it, there was another, more impressive application.

Also when you were showing off the image creator I was surprised there was no reference to a certain 80s music video. Little did I know...

Another excellent post, thanks for sharing! As someone who really likes rhythm games, Dead as Disco looks very interesting!

It seems a bit like Kickbeat mixed with Hi-Fi RUSH.

A few weeks ago there was a post asking for suggestions for female fronted heavy music and I was really grateful to OP for starting the conversation and everyone in the comments for coming up with really great suggestions.

I'm wondering if we could have a similar discussion to share more mellow covers of heavier songs. Usually when I'm working I prefer listening to less intense songs and a chill cover of a heavy song I like is somehow very interesting to me.

The song that got me wanting more of this niche was a cover of Toxicity which I've had on repeat this week. I can also think of this cover of Seven Nation Army which is kind of similar as an example but I don't really know a lot more like this.

Does anyone have any similar recommendations they enjoy?

Edit: All great suggestions so far, still working my way through them! I remembered another song which is this cover of Firestarter by The Prodigy

Oh I do see that image of all the controllers! I was referring to this section, it seemed like I was missing something here:

(you can see here the estimated tariff charge on the Retroid Pocket 5 from AliExpress – I found this image a user (No_Clock) posted which helps illustrate the cost you might expect)

I know these posts get a lot of love already but it's never enough, the effort that goes into each one is really appreciated! I feel like they add a lot of value to the community in terms of quality and activity so thanks!

As for feedback on the posts themselves, I really like the way they're sectioned so they're easy to navigate. Of course not every topic is going to be relevant to everyone but it's easy enough to skip to the next section. The gifs are also great, I find they add so much like in the Expedition 33 example and they're not overused.

I think by the way that there's an image about tariffs missing in the 8BitDo section? Either that or it's not loading for me!

I'd always heard that but I recently found out from a similar discussion on Lemmy that the pirated music story unfortunately comes from a different advert.

I remember liking that video the first time I saw it. If I remember correctly though, the creator of that video had quite a few sexual abuse allegations against him and I wasn't really into it after that came to light.

This was really interesting! There were some cases where I felt like the low res quality of the image made it harder than it should be but maybe that was the intention. Does anyone know of a similar resource that also trains you to spot AI creations (outside of the obvious things like weird hands and feet)?

[–] EK13@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago

I tried the demo yesterday and I really liked the rhythm parts, the style, and the theming! I didn't have patience for the 2.5D walking around in the story mode but there is an arcade mode at least.

I saw they have two bags that are updated versions of existing models but now developed with AI and more expensive. I'm genuinely curious what "developed with help of AI" means here though - is it just a gimmick?

I bought a Leaf Razor from an EU reseller about a year ago now and it was a game changer for head shaving with safety razor blades.

The head of the handle pivots so it's very difficult to cut myself with it accidentally unlike the regular handle I was using before.

I'm hesitant to share a link because I don't want to seem like a shill for a company I don't know much about but just wanted to say there are options out there!
