The Great Yam Post #1

I despise the "three note riff" nature of so much "rock" music today. The bands of yesteryear improvised, jammed, and generally fooled around with a song until it was closing time. No more. Synthesized beats and heavy production abound, no one can play without a thousand distortion and delay effects on their guitar...

It's a sad state of affairs for rock music. It no longer has any of that rawness from the blues and it doesn't have any of Jazz's swing. I feel like I'm a film noir detective, talking like this... but I am listening to Coltrane right now...

Anyways, my main point is that Jazz is a complex, changing music of variation. Rock music is a 4/4 3/4 genre, with little variation in it (besides "guitar solos"). The instrument's beats do not all fall at the same time (this isn't always a bad thing, mind you, it's just done so relentlessly in "modern rock"). Jazz has moods, happiness, elation, sadness, confusion, it's not all the same song by any means. Smooth Jazz is crap, by the way.

I love old rock music, but I despise what The Ramones did to music.

Now that I've got that off my chest, anyone else like Jazz? I like Miles and Coltrane, but just about anything that's got that Jazz swing to it is good to me.

John Coltrane Quartet - Alabama
Dave Brubeck Quartet - Take Five
John Coltrane Quartet - My Favorite Things
John Coltrane - Big Steps
Miles Davis - Walkin'

Oh_Man -- yea APM vs eAPM

[08:48 am]

NimoStar -- plus most of the human APM is just spam clicking APM inflation

[08:47 am]

NimoStar -- the thing with the "*12" thing is completely misleading. The AI isn't using two control groups, it can use each of those actions to command a single unit individually and issue different commands to each single unit.

NudeRaider shouted: Oh_Man Artosis hasn't caught on how devastating the perfect focus fire is. With the mutas he was like "the Mutas always seem to have less hp than against a human". But he didn't notice that the flock he had selected always just had one muta that was hurt. Same with the wraiths here. He's talking about how valks+wraith is gonna destroy Pluto's valks, then 5s later he's dumbfounded the human player's air is just gone and he never figured out why. And for some reason didn't even think to go back and look at the battle.

*Pluto's wraiths

Vrael -- perhaps there is a small professional player trapped in a box in the server rack where pluto is running? hmm?

Oh_Man -- 1 action is selecting the unit and another action is moving it

Vrael -- 240*12 is 2880, where is the other 3000 APM?
