I did it by ear. I was never creative, so I never was good at creating anything original. But I was often able to listen to songs and break apart each instrument and notes, and had tons of fun transposing some of my favorite songs. Of cours

I actually checked and found the original .mid file on my NAS. Looks like the file itself was from 11/1997, so I'm guessing I uploaded it a few years later, or for some reason the upload data was changed.

Oh dang. I uploaded a version of Mario Kart 64’s Rainbow Road — the one that’s listed as “(Extended Version) (v2.0)”. [1] This was probably from 1996/97. Not only do they still have it, but the site hasn’t changed at all since then! Wh

It seems that most people that buy a Tesla are more interested in the status they bring vs. the build quality and reliability. When I shopped around for an EV, I couldn’t find any compelling reason to get one over other models (e.g. Hyundai

Not really. Many Tesla Superchargers are being equipped with Magic Dock, which is perpetuating CCS. More manufacturers may be moving to NACS, but it’s not like chargers are moving away from CCS. If anything, the CCS infrastructure is growin

To be fair — and unfortunately — the original title is different: “NASA's Webb Rings in the Holidays with the Ringed Planet Uranus”. The submitter actually changed it from the original title (unless the title has been updated since it

This just feels like suicide, honestly. I mean, GM doesn’t seem to have a reputation for building the best, most reliable vehicles as it is — even just looking at domestics (factor in imports, and there’s no comparison). Every time I shop f

Better charging is the only one of those three where I think you could argue Tesla has the advantage. Engineering seems like is becoming more problematic with time, and experience is mostly subjective, but also feels like is losing ground.

There are a lot of comments in this (HN) thread responding as if this is true, without questioning whether it’s fake. This just isn’t believable, and if something from Reddit seems unbelievable, it’s likely fake.

I mention it in another comment, but I think it depends on your definition of RPG. I think of RPGs as games that are RPGs first: JRPGs and Western RPGs (Elder Scrolls, Baldur’s Gate, etc.) with rich stories. I don’t really think of roguelik

Yeah, the definition of RPG will always be debated. Personally, I think it’s a combination of the things you list, plus a deep story. Without a deep story, I think you’re just left with a sandbox adventure/survival/simulation game
