I used the prompt "electronica, song about dodging fate, tap dance, big band, sampling" and after a few iterations AI gave me this song: May 2, 2024 at 1:06 AM

    Unbelievable that a machine can create a song that evokes joy and makes me want to groove.

    Melodically/rhythmically/lyrically they're all super cool, but there's something in the rendering of the AI music itself that always twings my ear in a bad way, like the worst parts of synth and autotune mashed together.

  What do you say to a neighbor whose junky backyard harbors baby snakes? Told them about our slithery visitor, but they don't seem to care.

    Someone on my block got a puppy that barked out back all night a few years ago, I mentioned to my next door neighbor that I wished someone would quiet "the really annoying barking puppy" - turns out it was them, they got a crate the next day. It was awkward and unintentional but maybe an intentional direct confrontation would work.

    If you like 4X games on hex grids, you should check out Old World by Mohawk Games. It's designed by Soren Johnson, who was the lead designer of Civ IV. Which is my personal favourite Civilization.

    There is no logical reason that I am suggesting avoiding Mozartian avatars: my instinct is that they are "inauspicious" for you.
    
    But I would *humbly* suggest that you arrange your own time off. Take responsibility for it and dispense with the small drama of the "banned" banner.
    
    This personal advice is offered kindly and in good faith, and with no obligation to take any notice whatsoever.

    Agree with Thad. Also, you might just want to slow down. It feels like you are trying to put out a lot of good content very fast. Let it marinate. SBAF is a great forum, but it's still just the internet.

    @JK47 - I grew up playing cornet in a brass band in the 80s / early 90s. The musical director of the time bought the sheet music of Falco's "Amadeus" for the whole band because she thought I'd like it. It didn't work well in translation, but it's the thought that counts.

    There's a true story about an 18-year-old who was filing out a job application, and for religion wrote: "Mozart." He got the job anyway.

    My Arms, Your Hearse is my fav Opeth, not quite the same pummeling visceral energy as the following albums, but has a melodic pull to me some of the others have less of. Damnation is an accessible entry to Opeth though certainly not their best
