[Redacted] The Safehouse - Announcement Trailer
This is the announcement trailer to the newest Godot game of Heartbeast.
How do you search for "amateurish" song covers?
Sometimes I want to listen to raw song covers that are ideally just video recordings without digital alterations. I used to be able to just look up *song name* acoustic/unplugged cover on Youtube and I'd already get what I want.
These days sometimes covers labeled as such aren't acoustic in the first place. Or even if they are, they have an overly clean or a synthetic "overproduced" sound, which is not what I'm looking for. I want a white noise in the background or little nuisances. I want the artist in the foreground and not the assembly, production quality or the mixing. Therefore I'd have to filter for older videos, look for 'amateurish'/unprompted settings in the thumbnails or check out every video in the search results one by one.
For reference, this is an example for what I want: Creep (Radiohead) - Cover by Connie Park - Youtube.
As beautiful as it is, this is an example for what I want filtered out: Never gonna give you up (Rick Astley) - Cover by Callum J Wright.
Am I missing a trick to find what I'm looking for?

Hidden horror movie
Is there a movie where the horror is completely hidden in the details without any revelation? A movie that is only horror to those who repeat-watch it, pay extra close attention or simply give in to their paranoid doubts?
The 9th Movie (2024)
Joel gathers his friends at a remote cabin to celebrate the completion of his latest feature film in his 12 features project.
This movie is part of Joel Haver's challenge to create 12 feature films in 12 months. I just watched it now and I think it's the most relatable, yet insane and perhaps one of my favorite movies of all time. So even if I might not feel the same way tomorrow, I have the urge to share it now.
Productivity vs muscle memory/knowledge
After a long time I'm in a situation where I sometimes work on a temporary system without my individual setup. Now whenever I might add a new custom (nushell) command that abstracts the usage of CLI tools, I think about the loss of muscle memory/knowledge for these tools and how much time I waste looking them up without my individual setup. No, that's not a huge amount of time, but just out of curiosity I'd like to know how I can minimize this problem as much as possible.
Do you have some tips and solutions to handle this dilemma? I try to shadow and wrap existing commands, whenever it's possible, but that's often not the case. Abbreviations in fish are optimal for this problem in some cases, but I don't think going back to fish as my main shell for this single reason would be worth it.
Terms for intentional anti-extensibility
cross-posted from: https://programming.dev/post/23442993
Sometimes I create a solution to a simple problem. However instead of making use of the solution, I keep extending it unnecessarily. This is why for this kind of project, I want to systematically restrain my future self from adding new features beyond the initial vision e.g. by actively refusing generic and re-usable code.
What is the search engine friendly term for this approach or at least for this situation? "Ad-hoc programming" may be literally what I'm talking about, but in practice it's associated with unplanned happenings.

Fiction with recursive loop
Is there any kind of fiction where multiple stories are connected in a recursive loop? The connection could be a character who writes or narrates the story. e.g.
- story A -> story B
- story B -> story C
- story C -> story A
Thanks in advance for any help!
