The Future of RYM https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/sonemic-cinemos-glitchwave#/
i'm going to donate a second time in a week when i get my next paycheck
>>60637496
god bless
Redundant when IMDB and Gamefaqs exist
>>60639621
It's be nice to have an imdb that isnt shite
>>60640117
>what is Letterboxd
>>60637109
it will never get popular with a shit name like that
>>60637109
What's the point of changing RYM to a shitty web 2.0 name if the film and game sections will be different sites?
>>60639621
Imagine how may artists are being credited in music, films AND games. And you could see their works connected in ONE page.
>>60640280
They won't, nice fucking reading comprehension
>>60641374
The description says Sonemic is gonna be a network of three independent websites, so...
>>60641655
They are all connected though. They said even while separate sites that users won't even feel like they're going on separate website while using the three.
>>60640242
Letterboxd doesn't have a single redeeming quality compared to IMDb
guessing it'll be similar to AllMusic vs AllMovies
Are there mockups? I don't want to donate and have it become last.fm
>>60637109
Rateyourmusic is a much better name than Sonemic. when you hear "rateyourmusic" you instantly know what the site is going to be all about, Sonemic doesn't tell you any of that.
>>60642342
>Are there mockups?
Would also like to know this
>>60644009
This, why can't they name them RateYourMovies and RateYourGames
They said one of their stretch goals might be scrobbling
>>60644047
The logo of sonemic doens't look too music related too. i guess they made it waves because of "sound waves" but when someone will see this logo and name, there is nothing that will tell him it's even music related.
Honestly, with this logo and name, it would fit alot more for a surfboard company. i can see it.
>>60644209
But i mean, it's just logo and name. not really a big deal for me. if the site gets good improvements im all for it, i just wish they kept the RYM name and logo.
>>60644209
>surfboard company
it sounds more like a disease or ointment
>>60644240
Eh, you are exaggerating a bit in my opinion. not everything that ends with mic is like that:
dynamic
astronomic
academic
cosmic
atomic
alot of words end with mic
If just insanely excited to be able rate and search for games in the same way I've done for films and albums in the last 4 years. Already gave $30 but I might give more depending on the stretch goals
>redditors
>>60644370
>the real top 100 albums of all time
The top 50 albums on RYM aren't really that far away from mucore
>>60644209
alot isn't a word. go back to school
>>60644370
All of RYM users who wanted to give money already did that, so they need to advertise themself to other sites.
>>60644265
its the suffix -emic
meaning relating to a blood condition
son- means relating to sound
its saying something about music being in out blood. its a pretty lame name.
>>60637109
wait so if they dont get paid enough for this project whats going to happen to rym?
>>60644389
they literally are /mu/core minus death grips and animal collective and kanye west
>>60644443
Indiegogo gives them the money even if they don't reach the goal, right? It's not like kickstarter, I think...
I don't think there's any scenario where we stop having either RYM or this new site.
>>60644506
what do i have to do to make sure it remains as rym?
>>60644443
they'll still retain the money so i guess they'll just kick it towards rym somehow
>>60644523
hope thats what happens :)
i dont like change
>>60644521
The name bothers you that much? Nothing, I guess. Don't donate?
Or just email them a suggestion. We could make this a thing, I doubt they're attached enough to the name to fight against their community to change it.
>>60644506
>It's not like kickstarter, I think...
with kickstarter you dont get the money? kek
it gets refunded to the donators or kickstarter gets it?
>>60644454
Hey, MPP, MBDTF, and Powers that B are pretty highly regarded there too.
I even think MBDTF is the highest rated album of the 2010s according to rym. That or Swans.
>>60644566
sonemic is awful but rateyourmusic is faaaarr worse. do people actually like that name? it doesnt sound good, lacks any creative thinking, just plain retarded name.
>>60642342
here's what the display options will look like
>>60644555
But they're adding a gaming site!!! And actually finishing the film site
>>60644521
They're already said they aren't pulling a last.fm they arent removing functionality. They're going adding new features and they need the money for the servers.
RYM is dead.
All these features will be for subscribe users only:
Subscribers have a faster, dedicated chart server.
Chart preview: Have access to a special version of the current year chart that is updated every day.
See more items in charts (up to 10,000 items for the overall chart and up to 2,000 for other charts,
instead of 5,000/1,000).
Filter charts by minimum number of ratings.
Adjust the popularity weighting of charts to produce more obscure or mainstream results.
Create charts based on your compatible user list.
basically all the thing the users are asking since 2009 are not going to be free.
Someone should tell them to create an scrobble-like system so we can actually abandon last.fm
From a marketing standpoint, I could see why people don't like the new name, but I've been waiting for something like glitchwave for years. One thing I hope they add to the functionality of the site is an easier way to rearrange albums/movies/games lists like Netflix, Amazon and Gamefly do for their lists/queues.
>>60644918
"A brand new, completely redesigned lists feature with easier editing and tons of new features"
>>60644861
why whould someone want to know that you've been listening to the same songs for weeks by bands nobody likes
>>60644861
Actually the admin has been posting in the rym forums if he should add scrobbling as a stretch goal and everyone said yes
>>60645247
first of all i dont listen to songs. second of all i dont listen to bands. and lastly i havent been listening to anything for weeks i try to always be listening to things i havent heard before.
>>60645284
why would anyone care then faggot
>>60645319
I use my lastfm so I can look at my taste 8 years later and then feel bad I listened to such shit
>>60639621
>gamefaqs
lel no
>>60644209
You're on 4chan, a site that uses a clover as its logo.
>>60644172
holy shit really
where
>>60645352
Underrated last.fm goals
>>60645541
Somewhere in this thread: https://rateyourmusic. com/board_message?message_id=6106896
>>60645352
this desu
>>60640242
I don't understand your logic at all. RYM's film section predates Letterboxd and is better.
>>60639621
IMDB is for plebs
There is no good website for user rankings of games.
>>60645640
NICEEEEE this needs to happen god damn
>>60644555
It's been like 3 days and they've reached nearly 20k
It may slow down but still
>>60646150
Im really hoping we make it way past 50k so we can have a 4th website: TV shows. Id love the tv site to include web shows
wouldn't it be just awesome if rym (ok, sonemic) killed of lastfm? ^_^
>>60644521
the site will be updated to Sonemic anyways, the Indiegogo is merely to accelerate the process
regarding the name, maybe this explanation helps
>The meaning of the name comes from an interview with Brian Eno, in which he suggested that the word "music" was too limited in scope, and suggested the term "sonema" to refer to the broader sense of "sonic immersion and environment". I like this idea and term, and think it fits well with RYM's philosophy. Thus "sonemic" is an allusion to "sonema", much like "musical" would be to "music". Thus, you'll see the term "Sonemic, Inc." in various places on RYM going forward, such as the copyright statement, mailing address, credit card statement when subscribing, etc.
>>60646776
I like Brian Eno
>>60637109
I'm pretty excited for this. I've always wanted a decent game site without the insufferable crowd, movie site looks cool too. If they manage to get scobbling I will abandon last.fm altogether.
>>60647137
>without the insufferable crowd
why would you assume there wouldn't be one?
So... What are your guys honest predictions for top 5 on glitchwave?
1) Deus Ex
2) Half Life 2
3) Portal
4) Baulders Gate 1 or 2
5) Some overrated Nintendo Game
Minecraft will have lots of ratings but not everyone will rate it high.
Nintendo Games might be popular but outside of the frame of nostalgia, I don't see it with as high a rating as some classic pc. Still rym gives a lot of weight to more reviewed items
>>60644370
>BEA
Literally what?
>>60647287
I eagerly await the rating difference between SimCity 4 and 5.
>>60647287
I think you're underestimating the power of nintendo nostalgia
>>60647287
These are highest rated games on my local Czech gaming site, they are basically game equivalent of rym and existed for 7 years
Do they have good taste?
http://www.databaze-her.cz/hry/?rok=1970-2016&sekundarni=1&razeni=hodnoceni&rezim=obaly#t_p
>>60647516
Also it's for PC games only
>>60647287
definitely not my personal top 5 games, jsyk
1) OoT
2) Deus Ex
3) Portal
4) The Last of Us
5) Skyrim
Fallout 4 / GTAV will probably score highly but idk how popular they are on the internet.
Stuff like Super Mario 64, SoC and HL2 could be top 5 contenders as well.
>>60647287
Earthbound will be number 1.
>>60647287
If it's primarily based on number of ratings then PC games will make 90% of the top 100
>>60647287
>The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
>Mother 3
>Half-Life 2
>Deus Ex
>The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask
What rating/position will this have?
>>60642342
nah, i had similar concerns, but the admins of rym are users as well and treat it as their child, not cash cow
>>60644856
>using the site since 2009
>for free
why do you feel that you are entitled to anything?
I've never played Ocarinia of Time but I find it hard to believe it's a better than a fully fledged PC game.
>>60647902
It's not.
>>60647783
This will be rated at the number 69 spot on all time games
>>60647902
>>60647919
soundtrack is goat though
>>60637109
Pretty good news! I want that new scrobbling-music alternative!
>>60647287
>1) Deus Ex
Why? I just don't get it. It's one of my first and still one of my favourite games ever but it sure as fuck doesn't deserve to be anywhere near TOP5. The gameplay and the atmosphere are alright, but the writing, rpg mechanics and many other things are subpar at best.
>>60647987
Do you honestly think these will be the criteria people will base their ratings on?
>tfw when I already have all my Glitchwave ratings in a spreadsheet
>>60648062
Same here brother. I'm trying as hard as I can to remember all the educational games I played in elementary school as well. In addition I'll have to remember the weird indie games I played in college.
Will they finally let us change our username?
>>60648310
Yes
You'll have to pay for it, of course
>>60647902
>platform and stats determine quality of game
Holy fucking shit, is it 1991 again or what?
>>60648171
>all the educational games I played in elementary school
>tfw most will probably be too obscure to be in the database
I'm not sure how I'm gonna explain this to my parents when I visit them and dig out shitty edutainment games from their attic.
fuck Glitchwave, RateYourArt when??
i want to give 0.5 stars to every Rothko painting
>>60648853
>i want to give 0.5 stars to every Rothko painting
Edgy.
I'll donate if they finally ban Pandrew
>>60648853
Damn I would actually use this
>I actually like rothkos black paintings though
>>60648853
This
The ratings would be very awkward though
What work would be Top 1 btw?
>>60648853
How would you determine what applies for the site so we don't end up with teenagers uploading their anime fanart like it's Deviantart?
>>60648997
Its gotta have been in at least one museum or exhibition once
>>60648980
>What work would be Top 1 btw?
Mona Lisa, the Scream or some Picasso.
>>60648853
Most people who use the site would be plebs though it would be terrible discussion
>>60648980
Probably something by Picasso or Meme Gogh
>>60648980
Starry Night or The Scream
>>60649015
Exhibitions can be small scale as fuck, though. Literally all you need is for it to be displayed in a public place, you could have some nutjob café owner put the drawings of their five year old on the walls and call it an exhibition.
>>60648980
Guernica hopeful
>>60649072
Make Aaron and all the other bandcampers take off their music then
I don't think anyone would go through the effort of proving that the SJW Express Coffee Shop displayed their crayon drawings; the exhibition restriction would probably work
>>60648980
Probably memes like Sistine Chapel, Mona Lisa and David.
I would never want a RateYourArt site. It would just be an endless clusterfuck of americans shitting on everything with even the remotest abstraction.

>regarding the name, maybe this explanation helps
No, it doesn't. The name of the website doesn't exist for the owners own pleasure, or to make some meaningful statement. It's to be a memorable and repeatable name.
No one is going to say to their friends "hey you should check out Sonemic" because it's a fucking stupid word and they would be embarrassed to say it out loud. It's also completely unmemorable.

>>60651171
>The old name was retarded anyway
The old name perfectly described and summarized the site.
>>60651367
That's not true
I rate other people's music, not mine
>>60651303
It says literally nothing about the site, but I haven't seen anyone complain about it.
>>60651367
It was bland as fuck, though. It's like 4chan being called "shitpost about anything"
>>60651461
>It was bland as fuck, though
So is "Internet Movie Database". What matters is that it works.
>>60644856
all of these are useless except the last one
>>60651386
Fucking this! Seriously, I know it's supposed to imply "Rate your music collection" but it's still a badly thought out name.
>>60651538
But literally nobody says or writes "Internet Movie Database", everyone calls it IMDb because it's shorter and sounds better.
I actually had no idea what "IMDb" even meant until I registered there.
>>60651386
>not making several accounts to give your own shitty vaporwave/ambient remixes five stars
>>60651538
it doesn't work. yeah, everybody's been to imdb at some point, but i've seen tons of people struggle to remember the name. the only reason your average person ends up there is because of their google rankings
Until certain point Rateyourmusic was just gonna be rym.fm, in fact the domain still works
http://rym.fm
