Helmet sketches

Not really satisfied.  Can't seem to maintain the proportions I like while still mapping to a human helmet...

Rocksmith

I have no idea what improvements they made for the more recent versions.*

  • Catch 22!  The exercises you would use to get better at playing songs are unlocked by having already cleared songs.
  • I guess these people needed to point at Guitar Hero to convince some assholes with money that THIS game could work.
    • The downside is that as a result, instead of scrolling guitar tab, we get a system akin to Guitar Hero, which isn't as good.  Really I'd prefer musical notation too.
      • Eventually we'll get that from someone I guess.  I think there are already some programs out there that do it - but I mean, eventually a bigger budget operation will do it and be able to take a crack at the licensing clusterfuck.
  • Obviously there should have been an option to do a 'practice mode' or something that lets you work on specific licks/riffs or whatever before you try to do the whole song at once.
  • When does Rocksmith Cello Edition come out?

iTunes


  • Can't uncheck music from iPhone.  I guess I'll have to make a note on the default 'notes' app that I don't want that song checked any more.  Oh wait, the 'notes' app hasn't been able to sync properly since AssCapitan.
    • It's hardly any easier to check/uncheck in iTunes on the computer itself.
  • Why would I want to sync my books w/ iTunes?
  • Just let me drag my music in/out of my phone.
  • I swear iTunes keeps deleting my Negativland albums.
  • Every time I try to search my own music it first starts on the tab for searching the whole goddamn itunes store.  I never want to search the goddamn itunes music store so that's one extra click to get to tab I always want to be using.
