BroganLive @broganlive.howtootaku.com · 03/10/2026This might be the best response to this, like I could come up with 1000 different things that are huge in their own right and own community but just because you don’t know the name of a specific baseball player doesn’t mean you live under a rock. Also not very welcoming to newcomers to be so hostile 020
BroganLive @broganlive.howtootaku.com · 02/10/2026Okay but there’s an ocean of difference between not knowing about one of the 5 major superpowers of the last 100 years and not caring enough about kpop to know the name of the idol of the week 000
BroganLive @broganlive.howtootaku.com · 02/10/2026But this is NOT “easy listening” you can see a lot of the same techniques from bands like Tool, Angine de Poitrine or Mdou Moctar and those are all significantly more palatable artists at least to my taste 000
BroganLive @broganlive.howtootaku.com · 02/10/2026He blocked me but: Just because nobody else has said it before doesn’t mean that it’s an inaccurate description of his work. People wouldn’t do this if his scores were not intentionally compositionally mathematic and I never meant to imply that that is INHERENTLY a bad thing youtu.be/nvH2KYYJg-oyoutu.beIannis Xenakis - Pithoprakta (w/ graphical score)YouTube video by Pierre Carré 100
BroganLive @broganlive.howtootaku.com · 02/10/2026Music theory is the broad catch all term for anything related to the structure of a song, you can mathematically compose music and you can break any piece of music into mathematical components and structures, tempo, time signature, key, melodic structure. All of these are math 200
BroganLive @broganlive.howtootaku.com · 02/10/2026Oh you got me I conflated quality and personal enjoyability on bluesky crucify me😭 000
BroganLive @broganlive.howtootaku.com · 02/10/2026And yeah when you come from an industrialized music background like the k-pop scene and then you get a playstation brand deal with your face on the controller it smells like an industry is trying to push your brand further than your music can carry you 100
BroganLive @broganlive.howtootaku.com · 02/10/2026You said “compositional math doesn’t exist” you are not capable of understanding the conversation we are having. Compositional math is present in LITERALLY EVERY SONG EVER WRITTEN purposefully or not. I respect Xenakis but you can’t pretend that every piece of his is an indisputable “banger” 100
BroganLive @broganlive.howtootaku.com · 02/10/2026I never said you couldn’t enjoy Lisa. I simply said I wasn’t aware of her and now that I’ve done my research, I don’t enjoy her. You’re getting very butt hurt over a simple statement of opinion and I promise you you aren’t as smart as you think you are 100
BroganLive @broganlive.howtootaku.com · 02/10/2026I didn’t say he didn’t make anything “traditionally enjoyable” but your argument makes no sense, on a storytelling, lyrical and compositional front Fleetwood Mac beats Lisa in my opinion. It’s not about “popular vs niche” it’s literally just an opinion 100
BroganLive @broganlive.howtootaku.com · 02/10/2026I know for a fact, you are not comparing Lisa to Iannis Xenakis with a straight face 100
BroganLive @broganlive.howtootaku.com · 02/10/2026Claiming to know my entire taste based on 4 albums I pulled at random in a bluesky argument is psychotic. You don’t know the definition of the word boomer and compositional math can be impressive but it isn’t enjoyable to listen to 100
BroganLive @broganlive.howtootaku.com · 02/10/2026“Aw shit he listed 4 of the most influential and critically acclaimed albums of the past 50 years and now I don’t have an argument” like dude I’m not telling you you can’t like her music but you can’t act like I live under a rock and then laugh when someone says Fleetwood Mac is good 200
BroganLive @broganlive.howtootaku.com · 02/10/2026I mean, just off the dome, Rumors by Fleetwood Mac, In Rainbows by Radiohead, No Need to Argue by The Cranberries, and Doomsday by MF DOOM 200
BroganLive @broganlive.howtootaku.com · 02/10/2026Not sure what you mean by this, 358/2 and Coded are not playable, they are included as cutscene compilations but Dream Drop is 100% playable unless you have some sort of nit pick about how the touch screen mechanics are re-integrated for single screen 000
BroganLive @broganlive.howtootaku.com · 02/10/2026Story so far type shit. I believe the only thing NOT included is the rhythm game, unchained x, and the fortnite collab 010
BroganLive @broganlive.howtootaku.com · 02/10/2026I have now listened to her most popular album and I have less interest than when we started this conversation. Popularity does not equal quality 200
BroganLive @broganlive.howtootaku.com · 02/10/2026When someone doesn’t keep up with MY favorite industry plant 110
BroganLive @broganlive.howtootaku.com · 02/10/2026Nobody is confused about how crossovers work. I will say it’s kinda funny that she’s so “unique” that there is any confusion when you say “Kpop idol named Lisa” 010
BroganLive @broganlive.howtootaku.com · 02/10/2026Yeah I’ve listened to some Doja Cat, never heard of Lisa 100
BroganLive @broganlive.howtootaku.com · 02/10/2026Thank you. I like to think of myself as someone with a fairly broad knowledge of music so when I hear someone I’ve never heard of called “like the biggest thing ever” I just hear “Industry Plant” 110
BroganLive @broganlive.howtootaku.com · 02/10/2026No you’re being glib, I keep up with plenty of music and I have no idea who this is unless she’s made some song you hear on the radio at the grocery store or something 250
BroganLive @broganlive.howtootaku.com · 02/10/2026I hate to take it from Mina but I think Control Resonant is my GOTY 000
BroganLive @broganlive.howtootaku.com · 02/10/2026Shout out to the white girl that told me that “NIMBY” is a slur💀 000
BroganLive @broganlive.howtootaku.com · 20/08/2026These are some things my co-workers have done just today and only one of them got fired: No-call no-showing Clocking hours they did not work Sitting in a chair Place your bets below 000
BroganLive @broganlive.howtootaku.com · 12/07/2026Seriously, they handed a shotgun to an alcoholic warewolf and it’s so much better than it has any right to bestatic.klipy.comSilver DeadlockALT: Silver Deadlock 000
BroganLive @broganlive.howtootaku.com · 12/07/2026Ayo Valve, how did you make a MOBA that is also a Hero Shooter that is not only not utter dog shit but actually so good I might be able to get a medical diagnosis for addiction 100
BroganLive @broganlive.howtootaku.com · 23/06/2026Beat KH2 Final Mix last night! Should I dive into 358/2, Birth by Sleep and Dream Drop Distance or should I take a little break and play something else? 000
BroganLive @broganlive.howtootaku.com · 13/06/2026What’s everyone’s most anticipated Indie game right now? 100
BroganLive @broganlive.howtootaku.com · 12/06/2026Retroid Pocket 6 12 gig is back in stock, if you’ve been looking for an android handheld this is the price/performance/size sweet spot IMO 000
BroganLive @broganlive.howtootaku.com · 10/06/2026I feel like theres gotta be a better way to socially critique and recommend media to friends beyond downloading: Backloggd Hardcover (Goodreads) Letterboxd Listenbrainz (Last.fm) MyAnimeList AND RetroAchievements is there some way for me to manage all these from one app or something? 020
BroganLive @broganlive.howtootaku.com · 05/06/2026I’m so serious, if you emulate retro games on pc or android making a RA account and logging in through your emulator breaths a lot of life into games you’ve already played a dozen times. Do I really have to sell you on achievements for your classic pokemon games? 000
BroganLive @broganlive.howtootaku.com · 05/06/2026RetroAchievements is one of the greatest community projects I have ever seen 100
BroganLive @broganlive.howtootaku.com · 03/06/2026Got a jellyfin instance up and running, about to work on a minecraft server and obviously hosting fluxer is going to be a priority 000
BroganLive @broganlive.howtootaku.com · 03/06/2026I finally got my homelab up and running again, just in time for self hosting I hope. I'm excited to try to get my normie friends to jump ship 190
BroganLive @broganlive.howtootaku.com · 11/05/2026I haven’t gotten there yet, I’m stuck in the dang moogle shop trying to synthesize a new key chain 100
BroganLive @broganlive.howtootaku.com · 11/05/2026I know that’s not KH1 Riku in “can lift thor’s hammer” 100
BroganLive @broganlive.howtootaku.com · 11/05/2026It ain’t much but it’s mine (also welcome back cache) 000
BroganLive @broganlive.howtootaku.com · 03/05/2026I have had my Retroid Pocket 6 for about a month now, would anyone be interested in a video on my setup and experience with it? 000
BroganLive @broganlive.howtootaku.com · 31/03/2026Shout out to the idiots at Netflix, as much as you guys suck, people who were planning to skip have plenty of time now 000
BroganLive @broganlive.howtootaku.com · 28/03/2026Whoever is handling the Steel Ball Run release schedule should be fired and then tarred and feathered what the fuck is this? 000
