Dolving999: What do you think about the new Pie Chart?

Dolving999 09.06.19	User ratings chart for albums have also changed to html, hooray!
Demon of the Fall 09.06.19	Not sure, I liked it the way it was - it's perfectly fine though, I guess. Why would she go and do something like that? Rolo finally made a cohesive album, this is going to mess everything up.
GhandhiLion 09.06.19	It's fine, mx now needs to add the option of singles to the database and ill be satified
PunchforPunch 09.06.19	Oh I didn't know there's a change. I think it's pretty cool. And what's up with the missing album arts? bunch of stuff that I added have missing covers.
foxblood 09.06.19	there's something new on sputnik.. I am utterly shocked. something unnecessary, but new nonetheless.
PunchforPunch 09.06.19	bring back 'other'
peekatoad 09.06.19	I like it, with Firefox's recent updates, the pie chart wouldn't show.
peekatoad 09.06.19	Although under my main profile the ratings do show differently but when you go into my ratings the chart literally says "Chart." i only use firefox
Valzentia 09.06.19	extremely sexy
botulist 09.06.19	I like it, depending on the user, it’s a sad sad rainbow that says things like prog and emo on it.
DoofDoof 09.06.19	a lot of dead space on the left - could add another chart or something like that
DoofDoof 09.06.19	could add something like a current 'total number of ratings this month' something to see how active the profile you're looking at is
ArsMoriendi 09.06.19	It has 7 slices instead of 8 :( Goodbye post punk slice
DoofDoof 09.06.19	cheated out of a slice
Egarran 09.06.19	I'm gonna need a more metal color scheme.
SandwichBubble 09.06.19	"add the option of singles to the database" "could add another chart or something" Now these are good ideas.
zakalwe 09.06.19	Thanks to whoever implemented the thing. Sput is the best.
Demon of the Fall 09.06.19	Damn it, didn't notice we were down to 7 slices, that sucks.
Dolving999 09.06.19	Apparently, they're still recalculating the charts. 5 minutes ago I had classical as the penultimate slice. 2 minutes ago, it was last. Now it's gone... Hold on, the storm shall pass my brothers!
GhandhiLion 09.06.19	That wasnt a bug, they upgraded the chart to a fortune telling feature. You were born to listen to classical man.
Dolving999 09.06.19	Dammit! Now people will think I'm a super tuf metal guy... Brb, gonna 5' some K-Pop discographies Edit: Nope, not needed. Classical is back where it should. Yay!
CugnoBrasso 09.06.19	My post-hardcore slice is gone, I was so proud of it.
ian b 09.06.19	rip my lofi and r&b slices, now i gotta unrate a bunch of guilty pleasure metalcore records lmfao
rockandmetaljunkie 09.06.19	I would like to see moar genre slices
Drifter 09.06.19	I haven't seen it. Idek my pie chart. Someone mind helping?
Drifter 09.06.19	OH MY GOD I CAN ACTUALLY SEE MY CHART ON MOBILE WHERE AM I WHAT YEAR IS THIS
CygnusX1 09.06.19	It's no longer a pie chart but a rainbow chart with 2 colors
Divaman 09.06.19	I liked the look of the old one better. But it finally got rid of "Blues" for me, so I'm happy about that.
MrSirLordGentleman 09.06.19	I'd like to see more colors and genres, but this is still a fucking huge improvement What I like the most is that we're seeing updates. No matter what they are, the fact that there's updates to sputnik will always fill me with more joy than it should
Deathconscious 09.06.19	I was actually shocked to see it. My folk piece is gone though, shucks.
Egarran 09.06.19	> this is still a fucking huge improvement I want to know more.
MrSirLordGentleman 09.06.19	Well, it's not flash anymore, which means it won't fade into oblivion What I meant though is that we're finally seeing updates to the site. I really hope it starts happening more often and that it wasn't just a one-off thing
DoofDoof 09.06.19	you'd think more colours and genres would be possible considering just how much blank space is in that 'taste' section now I would still rather two charts - overall taste (as now) and '2019 releases' taste maybe, dunno
MrSirLordGentleman 09.06.19	"'2019 releases' taste maybe, dunno" I don't know. In my case I don't check many albums of the year. While a minority, I don't think I'm alone on the fact that most of my ratings are older albums. I think one bigger chart which includes more genres would be better. I'd still be in for filling the blank space with something However, since the fact that we got an update is something that seems like a miracle, I don't think we're really in the position to start asking for more stuff lol
Demon of the Fall 09.06.19	Great point actually, the fact there’s an update at all is most welcome, even if we’re not entirely agreed on its usefulness or function.
MrSirLordGentleman 09.06.19	Indeed. I really, really hope updates start becoming a thing, but I'm really thankful to see that site hasn't been left for dead and that we got an update in the first place, even if it was a small and almost "necessary" one, because of flash dying
peekatoad 09.06.19	Also, i can now see album rating charts What a time to be alive
GhandhiLion 09.06.19	"I liked the look of the old one better. But it finally got rid of "Blues" for me, so I'm happy about that." disgusting
iglu 09.06.19	disgusting [2]
bloc 09.06.19	I like the new one, reminds me of a tachometer revving up as soon as the chart loads
MrSirLordGentleman 09.06.19	vroom vroom
Deathconscious 09.08.19	sputnik rises yet again from a coma.
budgie 09.08.19	whuuuuuAGHHHHHHHHIIAMALIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIVEEEEEEEEE
Lord(e)Po)))ts 09.08.19	what did we lose this time
Kompys2000 09.08.19	Oh god is it over
budgie 09.08.19	idk but i watched the SATANIC PANIC film and it was shit. shit shit shit shit shit. awkward highschool dialogue. bummer
Lord(e)Po)))ts 09.08.19	i rewatched IT chapter 1 in anticipation of chapter 2 (mostly because my gf hadn't seen it and i'm gonna force her to come with me to 2)
Lord(e)Po)))ts 09.08.19	i could honestly watch bill skarsgard just say shit as pennywise and do weird shit with his eyes forever
budgie 09.08.19	yep i loved chapter 1. soliiiiiiiid 21st century horror right there
Lord(e)Po)))ts 09.08.19	not very edgy of them to not have an underage gangbang tho
budgie 09.08.19	speaking of, the girl in chapter 1 is also cast as gretel in the upcoming oz perkins film i mentioned the other day. i think, anyway
Lord(e)Po)))ts 09.08.19	thats chill, i think she did a convincing enough job (for a ginger) still unsure how Mike from stranger things went from being the best character in IT part 1 to a fucking frumpy lil bitch in Stranger Things but I guess I'll just have to blame the showrunners
budgie 09.08.19	hah, i still haven't seen s2 or s3. worth it? i liked the first season alright. mostly for winona my love
Lord(e)Po)))ts 09.08.19	season 2 is the biggest piece of shit i've ever seen, but kind of in a fun way where you can yell at your television and eviscerate the fuck out of every bit of minutiae, season 3 is better so far than 2 and has both David Harbour, Millie Bobby Brown and... Steve Harrington... at the top of their game but they can really only go so far doing PG-13 rip-offs of every good supernatural and horror story ever made before I've entirely lost interest. I'm running out of fucks to give.
Lord(e)Po)))ts 09.08.19	Winona is still in both seasons a lot though, albeit progressively less hysteric
Lord(e)Po)))ts 09.08.19	The worst thing though is that her children are still alive. All the children are, in fact, still somehow alive. Killing off a bakers dozen of these whinging little wankers would go a long way for watch-ability
TheGreatQ 09.08.19	Ignore this comment
budgie 09.08.19	lmao alright, i'll keep it on the back burner.
Lord(e)Po)))ts 09.08.19	yeah I definitely would suggest completely exhausting all other appealing TV options before resorting to it
budgie 09.08.19	i don't really dig tv shows typically. uh...... dead set i liked, that is a british zombie show with like just 5 episodes, but it is surprisingly kickass. then... black summer, another zombie show with i think just one season, it was ok, i liked some of the episodes. then... i saw one season of slasher, it was meh, i saw the first two season of scream, was better than i expected but not super great. i think that's it for tv shows. hbo rome obviously is my favorite thing ever but that's not really modern oh i tried to get into THE TERROR or whatever it's called, but stopped watching as soon as my favorite actor died in like episode 2 or something. wtf guys.
Lord(e)Po)))ts 09.08.19	i also enjoyed Dead Set. I had forgotten all about it but I saw it got put up on Netflix or something recently and was tempted to rewatch it.
TheSpaceMan 09.08.19	Gandi: "I like RYM give us singles"
Lord(e)Po)))ts 09.08.19	horror serials have a pretty terrible track record. i only watched the first episode of Slasher and couldn't tell if it was supposed to be so retarded and derivative or if it was just on accident so I stopped... I actually enjoyed the first two seasons of Scream as a passive watch, they were stupid but entertaining for a period where I didn't have anything else to watch. Never watched Rome. best TV show I've seen aside from OBV Twin Peaks/Return was the british show Utopia. In fact most of the best TV I've seen has been TV, both for comedies and dramas.
Lord(e)Po)))ts 09.08.19	Scream Queens was awesome for a "horror serial" heh
budgie 09.08.19	yea i keep hearing how cool twin peaks is, should make some time for it. all i know is it's gothic? and filmed near seattle? lol i don't know if HBO's Rome is for just everybody but man i think it's so wonderful
budgie 09.08.19	scream queens is emma roberts' show right? how horror is it?
Lord(e)Po)))ts 09.08.19	it's a doozy to explain Twin Peaks. The original series is like simultaneously a hilariously exaggerated soap-opera in a humorous way while the split personality is an extremely twisted supernatural crime mystery that borders on horror in how dark the undercurrent gets. It's like a small-town proto x-files but revolving around a more linear, singular mystery. The highlight is a combination of the volume of truly unforgettable characters paired with the elusive mythos and relentlessly lynchian ambiguity. It's just the kind of remarkable once in a life-time thing that carves a really deep spot in your heart and your mind. So then imagine something thats garnered that level of "cult" devotion coming back 25 years later with the vast majority of the original cast as well as a long list of other favourite actors joining the fray and there being absolutely no studio interference whatsoever. The Return is everything the original is but like, on fucking mescaline. It's the most haunting thing I've ever seen.
Lord(e)Po)))ts 09.08.19	"scream queens is emma roberts' show right? how horror is it?" yeah and jamie lee curtis is a main character. its horror/comedy, so more like the original scream but like... wayyyyyyyyyy more satirical.
budgie 09.08.19	Well that got me interested
budgie 09.08.19	I'm watching Ils right now
Lord(e)Po)))ts 09.08.19	Ils????
budgie 09.08.19	"Them" I think is the English title. French home invasion type film just finished it's solid
MillionDead 09.08.19	Your slices define you on here and I'll miss the hell out of my death metal slice. I don't know that it's even more aesthetically pleasing either, just different. But yeah, it is what it is and I just shrugged about it.
Egarran 09.08.19	Oh fuck pots missing out again. My theory is that since he is omnipresent, there is a high chance of uncovering another one of his deficiencies.
Demon of the Fall 09.09.19	I can't even remember which slice I'm missing, I have a horrible feeling it must be post-metal. Devastating.
budgie 09.09.19	ur missing dream pop
Pikazilla 09.09.19	I'd be annoyed about losing either. But at least the update ensured I won't ever have the stoopid prog tag creep into my gradient chart.
JohnnyoftheWell 09.09.19	Half a pie =/= pie chart :[ Kinda like it though, miss my electronic slice and the more varied colour scheme but otherwise a practical update. RIP Flash...
budgie 09.09.19	it'a slinky
Pikazilla 09.09.19	Also, I love how I have black metal at 38%, but if you hover over Ambient, which is at 9%, it shows Wolves in the Throne Room and Akhlys. Very strange.
Trifolium 09.09.19	''and the more varied colour scheme'' [2] Plus I miss that you could see the names of the genres together with the size of the slice in one glance. With the older one you got a clear idea right away, while this newer half-a-pineapple-slice takes some more effort to read properly.
Pikazilla 09.09.19	Yes, definitely. It would've been nicer if there was greater colour variation. Like a rainbow thing or something.
Trifolium 09.09.19	RAINBOW < 3
combustion07 09.09.19	I haven't been able to see the pie chart in years on anything so it's a welcome change
Trifolium 09.09.19	Yeah, that's the most important thing, agreed. ''Form follows function'' shouldn't be dead yet.
budgie 09.09.19	rainbows are so sweet back in the day wanted to change the band name to rainbow wizard but i think the wizard moniker got too popular too quickly
Egarran 09.09.19	"You know, something between one of those cheap plastic slinkies and a... rainbow I guess, if you lost the ability to see most colors."
Demon of the Fall 09.09.19	In fact, how the fudge do I not have post-metal? 6 of my 19 5s are tagged post-metal. The system is rigged, must be a quantity vs quality thing, but it doesn't seem particularly well balanced on this basis.
Trifolium 09.09.19	Yup, I think it's quantity too, so if you rate 1,000 r&b albums a 1.0 (for whatever reason), r&b would be your top slice.
Demon of the Fall 09.09.19	Not quite, as nothing below a 3.0 counts, which makes sense as why would anything 'average' or lower be part of your 'taste'.
Pikazilla 09.09.19	In fact, how the fudge do I not have post-metal? 6 of my 19 5s are tagged post-metal. The system is rigged, must be a quantity vs quality thing, but it doesn't seem particularly well balanced on this basis. Some weird algorithms must be at work here. I am still yet to figure out how bands with several tags get categorised in my profile. Like, if you have black, post- and prog in one band, where does it go? Is there a weighted average adjusted to the ratings?
Trifolium 09.09.19	''Not quite, as nothing below a 3.0 counts, which makes sense as why would anything 'average' or lower be part of your 'taste'.'' Ah, that makes sense! ''I am still yet to figure out how bands with several tags get categorised in my profile.'' Don't they count for each category?
Pikazilla 09.09.19	Don't they count for each category? Seriously? So if I five one band with three tags, my colour chart will be split into three 33% slices?
foxblood 09.09.19	I think it might take all tags into consideration but the first tag has more sway, idk
Egarran 09.09.19	I feel there is plenty of room for more speculation. I'm pretty sure there is a random element to this, like a gothic dream pop artist could be tagged 'doom' by chance - to keep the genre definitions fresh and relevant and slightly controversial. Some very smart people are clearly behind these implementations.
Trifolium 09.09.19	Found it out! https://www.sputnikmusic.com/user/BackupFlower So the first two tags are the only important ones, they weigh equally.
Egarran 09.09.19	Nah, I'm pretty sure it's random.
Demon of the Fall 09.09.19	Yep, only the first two count (and equally), the third is just for descriptive purposes... or that's what they told me.
Trifolium 09.09.19	It seems to work that way with my new backup account.
Demon of the Fall 09.09.19	Back up account? Are you running some data experiments? Please do tell.
Trifolium 09.09.19	Yes this one: https://www.sputnikmusic.com/user/BackupFlower
Pikazilla 09.09.19	He's figuring out a way to break sput again.
Trifolium 09.09.19	I couldn't live with that. The past two weekends have been awful.
henryChinaski 09.09.19	Looks awesome
