That is a great observation. I don’t feel like relistening but I’m wondering if it’s the part that made me mention doing another take - it sounded like he got tickled mid sentence

You misunderstand my criticism if you think I’m saying it needs more production. I’m saying the vocals would be better if they sounded less produced. The super clean vocal recording/mixing it uses is a hallmark of pop, not folk.

Folk hooks are also just as catchy as any other genre but this song just isn’t very catchy.

I am not saying you shouldn’t like it, either. I’m glad it resonates with people. I just think it’s mediocrity of being ignored because the message is good and he’s a famous musician. If it was some random dude, no one would be praising it

I described it to a friend as “sounding like a parody” which I imagine is the same thing you’re hearing. I would never have guessed this was a Springsteen song if I heard it in passing, it lacks so much of what made him good.

I love the message and truly believe he made it for the right reasons (not a Cash grab) but…the song is not good. The melody isn’t catchy and the instrumentation is generic. The vocals are worst part - made even worse by the mixing. There was one part where his voice wobbles badly that made me think the engineers in the booth were just too afraid to ask a musical legend to do a second take.

Singers who are that far “past heir prime” need to give up on super crisp and clean vocal recording. Some muddiness would go a LONG way.

I accidentally binged the rest of the show last and never got to try this lol

That’s a pretty good theory, though. I’ll be more scientific about it tonight

That’s so weird but I’ll try it tonight, thanks! I definitely back out to the Roku home screen every time

But this image doesn’t show that at all

He’s not a dumb fuck and that’s the problem

I picked Fedora in part for the 6 month cycle so I’m on board!

Awesome, sounds as seamless as the rest of the OS

So it’s just like any other update through Discover? Or do I need to download the new release ISO and update it old school?

I’m a very recent convert, what’s the upgrade process like on Fedora? Is it just like any other system update or is it better to do a fresh install

The NPCs are a big part of what makes Hitman so great. A dlc where they create brand new routes for every NPC would be like playing a brand new game

Yeah let me just replace these rolling wheat hills with a rice farm. It’d totally work because wheat and rice have the same growing conditions. Dumbass

No thanks

Emberward. Roguelite tower defense game with Tetris blocks. It’s great

Wayland is one of the reasons I picked fedora/plasma

I can’t be the only one who read “the hemorrhoid order”

I was doubtful I’d ever install this on a family member’s PC but all the normal stuff just worked

I do and used it professionally so I’ve hard a hard time getting into GIMP. Haven’t tried it with the keyboard shortcut update, thought

It was a pretty well-specced machine when I built it but it’s not too new. Intel i7-13700k 13th gen, gtx 5080 (added way later obviously), 64gb DDR5, 2x wd black NVMEs
