And I don't want to pay for a VPN because, well, no money

[cursive agate]

If you're into more aggressive add blockers look up a Linus video about a pi zero for a add blocker you can set up.

[cursive agate]

Relatable lol

[slow cedar]

Why do you keep saying "add"

It's ad

[silk helm]

You guys all like engineers and stuff

[cursive agate]

Habit lol

[slow cedar]

future engineer

[silk helm]

Nice

[cursive agate]

Or add as in stop adding ads to my like Google lol

[slow cedar]

[grim palm]

rewatching GoT

just hit the part where Stannis sacrifices his daughter to the fire

I hate Stannis so much

[gusty crater]

Bc it is Add

And G in "gaslighting" is pronounced like "J"

[olive willow]

If you use that and open yt in browser, no ads

Because
1- The sound quality and mic quality of a wired connection is always superior
2- Bluetooth stuff is privy to either the batteries dying or connection issues
3- And I need you to pay attention to this one, BECAUSE I DON'T WANNA RUIN MY OWN EXPERIENCE JUST SO THESE CORPOS CAN EARN AN EXTRA BUCK

[silk helm]

Ok but

[olive willow]

Your wireless earbuds have 3 batteries, one of them goes and you can say bye bye to your purchase

And these batteries are MADE to only last a year

[silk helm]

Well first of all I got Apple care but listen

[olive willow]

I am listening

[silk helm]

I mean u have ur preference ig idk

I like convenience n shit

Noise cancellation

[olive willow]

So you are paying extra to not suffer consequences of Apple's own shoddy design......

I agree noice cancellation is good

[silk helm]

I guess yeah

[olive willow]

But wired have those too

[cursive agate]

Look up planned obsolescence

[silk helm]

iPhones with AirPods Pro is like insane bro

[olive willow]

And the cost?

[silk helm]

Idk more money

[olive willow]

Okay, the cost is fine, but its what you get for that much money that's the issue

999$ and not even a headphone jack? Or Sim tray for US customers?

I cannot use a private DNS on an iPhone

[gusty crater]

Yeah, if you care about sound quality you dont get AirPods

[silk helm]

Shit changes i guess

AirPods Pro sound great

[olive willow]

If you don't like a change then don't support it, vote with your wallet m8

[gusty crater]

If you care about owning Apple products you get apple products

[olive willow]

I say that to Nintendo fans all the time

You complain about 80$ game but you are also buying it? What?

[silk helm]

I just hate wires mostly

[olive willow]

Remember fellas, you should own what you buy

[silk helm]

Will pay more for no wires

[olive willow]

Its the choice that matters

[silk helm]

Maybe it’s a phobia

[silk helm]

True man

Actually very true

Interesting

[gusty crater]

Yeah, bunch of people complaining about microtransactions and forceful monetization while opening their wallets to support exactly that

[olive willow]

If people protested enough for the horse armor DLC we wouldn't be having abominations like Sims 4 or Density 2

Apple has great features, but the whole "I can't do what I want on it" is a dealbreaker for me

[silk helm]

Deal maker for me

I don’t want choice bro

Work good look good

[gusty crater]

https://tenor.com/view/cuh-guh-buh-gif-26372267

[olive willow]

With freedom you can work better look better

With the same amount of money you can get a phone that FOLDS IN HALF

[lone gorge]

maybe you dont want choice but my choice even if i wouldnt want a choice is that others could still choose

[silk helm]

Is that a song by rush

I saw the latest models on sunday and holy shit they look so cool

Of course, at this stage these are extremely fragile so I wouldn't recommend purchasing them

Yay I am no longer robusty, now I am absolute

[gusty crater]

Resolute*

[olive willow]

Yeah that

[silk helm]

We reached peak phones

[olive willow]

There is no peak when it comes to tech

We have phones on par with DSLR cameras, we have phones powerful than most laptops, hell in the java days you had all kinds of goofy shit

A sliding phone with a qwerty keypad? A square phone that swivels to reveal the keyboard? There was one with a built in compartment for IEMs.

N64, a nokia phone with 64MBs of storage, in an era where 16MB was the most you could get

[silk helm]

You ever hear of a Light Phone

[olive willow]

Yep, that is also an innovation

[silk helm]

I tried that shit one time

[olive willow]

Now imagine if digital wellbeing had a setting where it turns your phone that way

Best of both worlds

[lone gorge]

imagine a phone thats wakes you up AND cooks you breakfast

[silk helm]

Trying to get more in touch with myself or something

Shit sucks so bad

[olive willow]

You need actual desire to detox for that phone to work

But at that price point its definitely not worth it

We even had innovation with that inhumane AI pin thingy

[lone gorge]

CLIPPY

[olive willow]

Imagine if it was faster and more responsive

And not cost 700$

[silk helm]

Listen

[olive willow]

Sure you can get the same effect with an echo and some double sided tape

[silk helm]

You seem like the guy to ask

What’s the deal with AI what’s gonna become of all this

[cursive agate]

I have air pods gen 2 for convenience & they stay out of my ear canal.

[silk helm]

Nice

[lone gorge]

pretty sure no one knows this lo

[olive willow]

Artificial Intelligence has been around since forever, the enemies in video games used AI

[gusty crater]

Big tech investors will move on to be parasites on something else

[olive willow]

Currently, we have generative AI operating with Machine Learning

Basically we gave computers the ability to mimic human consciousness.

[cursive agate]

Radiant ai in oblivion was so vicious at achieving the game that you could play it lol. The AI just attacked each other & took all the loot on the map.

[olive willow]

Think of it as Jarvis but a baby

It can be made with different purposes in mind, most common being a chatbot

[silk helm]

Listen I’m not following entirely but go on

[olive willow]

I can very well see a future where it is integrated into day to day lives

But as tools

[lone gorge]

wonder if jarvis wipes ironmans butt when he poos

[olive willow]

Which is how they should be used

[olive willow]

"Jarvis, shake it a little"

[lone gorge]

i wanted to say that meme xD

jarvis, pull my finger

[olive willow]

Currently, the data center costs of AI is too high so the bubble will collapse

But the tech won't go away

[silk helm]

Nice

[olive willow]

We have AI in air conditioners now

Which I am convinced is just voice recognition and motion sensor

[gusty crater]

The AI that is pushed on us is pretty useless tbh

Can generate images and do your Google search

Cool

Larian Studios CEO said they use AI models to clean up motion capture data and scale animations to different sizes of characters

Tasks which normally someone would have to do but aren't particularly exiting

AI can also do great job at analysing X-ray and PET scan images, identifying abnormalities and diseases humans would miss

[sterile tartan]

||Jarvis, unshit my pants||

[olive willow]

AI is a tool, not a product

[lone gorge]

when AI is used in conjunction with skill as a tool and not used and relied on as a crutch AI is great

[olive willow]

Or using AI to learn stuff

Deep research and coding and stuff

@slow cedar How would you rate your proficiency with python? I might approach you for help

[silk helm]

I’m reading

[cursive agate]

Imagine what cool AI stuff the Pentagon has as black projects.
Wish I could see it.

[silk helm]

Damn

[olive willow]

You can have AI use your devices for you

"Hey Bringlebob, message Bjørn on discord that DnD night is on Wednesday"

[silk helm]

I haven’t had much use for chat gpt

[olive willow]

AI is still in it's infancy

[silk helm]

Can’t do the shit I want it to do

[olive willow]

I mean, I don't think Apple has even released Apple Intelligence

[gusty crater]

Siri can do phone calls iirc

And can send messages

[silk helm]

Pretty much Google for when I don’t want to think for myself at all

[olive willow]

Yep, set alarms, calendar events, etc

[gusty crater]

You dont need advanced AI models for that

[cursive agate]

Does anyone else get Lockheed Martin YouTube adds lol?

[silk helm]

Which is usually

[olive willow]

Siri is a voice assistant

[cursive agate]

I would never pay for a subscription that treats it's customers like nutfux

[olive willow]

Bingo

[night bobcat]

I mean you were paying for Disney apparently

[olive willow]

Its part of a bundle with my Wifi+TV

[night bobcat]

Oh I see

Almost time for me to get a month for bingeing

[olive willow]

A month of what?

Imma be honest, the best value of any subscription I ever had was Game Pass

120+$ worth of games in like 15$

[night bobcat]

Disney

[night bobcat]

Gamepass is good value

[pale meadow]

It's one of thee rare one I actually keep

[placid pebble]

It is if you like the games on it, I had it for 2 years and played like 5 hours worth of games on it, nothing really tickled my fancy

[night bobcat]

I have played several yeah, so for me it's def worth it

[olive willow]

I only got a subscription when there was a game I wanted to play

First time I got it to play Persona 3 Reload, once I completed that I also played Brotato and Forza Horizon 5 until my sub ended.

Second time my little brother visited for vacation so I got it to play some couch co-op, A way out being what we ended up playing.

Third time was during the Persona 3 Reload expansion, so I got the ultimate pass, tried out slay the spire during that too

[trim breach]

Does anyone play Valheim

[hasty roost]

I'm so out of it this morning, I almost missed that message! More coffee and tea to wake me up then.

[hasty roost]

Honestly, I've never heard of it. Is it a board game?

[hasty roost]

https://tenor.com/view/fast-car-go-vroom-gif-21755410

[trim breach]

Valheim is a Viking-themed survival game where you explore a massive open world, gather resources, build epic bases, and fight mythical monsters — solo or with friends. Think Norse Minecraft meets Skyrim.

[worthy dawn]

I've heard of that game but never played it

[hasty roost]

[hasty roost]

Wow, you installed Arch Linux on your laptop? That's seriously impressive! It must have been a fun challenge to set up. I bet it's running smoothly and feels super clean now great work! I've thought about trying Arch myself, but I tend to prefer the stability of fixed releases and drivers, which is why I stick with Debian. How's your experience been so far?

[errant egret]

It feels like defusing a bomb

One wrong install and kaput

[gusty crater]

https://tenor.com/view/sweatface-gif-4423166

[tender marlin]

It kinda is

[hasty roost]

Yeah, I get that. It gets easier, so I always suggest Timeshift for Linux just in case you mess up and need to roll back. A broken kernel? Been there! It's free advice from someone who breaks stuff as a hobby.

[errant egret]

Well yea you kinda learn how to fix broken Linux machines when you fucked up the Arch install 5 times

Like me

[tender marlin]

I am a master of breaking things unintentionally

[tender marlin]

Sometimes I do something as simple as drop what I’m holding

But all the moments of bad luck I’ve had up to that point have built up emotionally

And I’ll break into tears because of it

It doesn’t even have to be something big

And I always feel so pathetic afterwards

[gusty crater]

Most of the time clumsy or slow people are just struggling with overstimulating and/or stress

[tender marlin]

I definitely just chalk it up to bad luck

Because

Even my rng is horrible

For games

I almost never get rare things

[dry bison]

Speaking of, I got two superior katanas last night in dead island

Now I'm a badass deadpool one shotting all the zeds

There is a certain phenomenon pregnant women experience sometimes.

They suddenly become super awere of other pregnant women and it can even give a feeling as if all pregnant women decided do go outside at the same time

[tender marlin]

Sexy Ryan

[dry bison]

I look like a gigolo

[tender marlin]

My mom did that, I told her she was crazy, delulu

And that the only reason she noticed them was because she also was

[gusty crater]

Point is if you focus on something your brain can connect dots which dont really connect

Filter out contradicting elements

RNG is just RNG, there is no such thing as luck, no mysterious force making you roll worse

[tender marlin]

I mean rng plays into luck I believe

I’ve seen people with no luck hit slots

No game

[dry bison]

It's not a religion. No beliefs necessary.

[tender marlin]

Aliens aren’t a religion either, yet many believe they exist on our own land

[dry bison]

Many people are wrong though.

[tender marlin]

Belief is more than religion

[gusty crater]

I dont really play games which rely on chance only

A lot of RPG I play involve some form of rolling a die

But you can strategise, increase your chances, chose which risk you want to take

[spiral zephyr]

That's the definition of rare

[dry bison]

A rare unrare

[tender marlin]

I mean compared to others

Like I will be the last to get a legendary item in the group

I’ll be the last to top off my armor

The last to fully upgrade

[dry bison]

You sure they aren't just hogging them on you?

[spiral zephyr]

That's probably just a trick your brain is playing on you

[tender marlin]

Yes because it even happens in games where loot is single player effected

[gusty crater]

So if you and 4 people took the same amount of rolls you would always get the worst result?

[tender marlin]

Pretty much

At least in my experience

[gusty crater]

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fatalism

[dry bison]

Fatalism...sounds conceited

[tender marlin]

Well what is fate or destiny but determined events?

[gusty crater]

Have you considered that maybe your experience doesnt perfectly reflect reality?

Like in Pregnant women situation

[tender marlin]

My experience reflects my reality

[dry bison]

More like projects

[tender marlin]

Possibly

[tender marlin]

Also no I have not

[dry bison]

Did you know they put sugar in concrete?

[tender marlin]

I always base things on logic, or what I’ve learned from this world so far. Lots and lots of things make sense, but there’s some things that make little to no sense at all, and I can’t wrap my head around them. Some of them are pretty common I guess too

[tender marlin]

Why would they do that?

So ants keep existing?

[dry bison]

Slows down hardening so that it settles with fewer bubbles

[tender marlin]

Oh

[gusty crater]

Humans are hunter-gatherers

Brain evolved to perform certain tasks, to find way to certain things, to hunt, to gather

If you convince yourself that what awaits you is only loss bc you have bad luck your brain will seek confirmations and if its unable to find them it will create them

Subconsciously you set yourself up to fail

Bc failing will confirm your bad luck

[dry bison]

This one time I trusted and then I did not.

I wish people were less scary, and easier to interact with

[dry bison]

I wish people didn't eat people.

[tender marlin]

Don’t really

But

Go off

[dry bison]

See? You've become an optimist already

[tender marlin]

How?

[dry bison]

Magic.

[tender marlin]

But people don’t really eat people

That’s just like tribes and stuff

I'm just chilling, trust is something you build over time

But you can't just build it by yourself, someone has to do the same from the other side

If you assume thay everyone is out there to get you then there is nothing to build on

You shouldn't go all in, be cautious and vet people you let into your life

But if you allow no one then you will eventually end up completely alone

[tender marlin]

He was a certified professional tho

[gusty crater]

Tho being alone isn't always bad, I'm alone and I'm just chilling

One cool thing I heard somewhere online was:

If you were put with yourself in an empty room, your material possessions and accomplishments removed.

Could you honestly say that you would be in a good company?

In the end it boils down to being able to live with yourself whatever you become and wherever life takes you

[tender marlin]

I would not

lol

[dry bison]

I've been watching a couple rebuilding a home for weeks now

[tender marlin]

If I were in a room with myself, I would avoid myself because myself wouldn’t wanna interact with myself

And also because myself isn’t really “myself”

It’s just what I portray how I appear

Or what I think fits my appearance

[cursive agate]

The problem is when you like to be alone. It's nice at first but try to keep a small group of frens.

I'm at the I like it part lol

[dry bison]

What is frens

[tender marlin]

I am frens

[tender marlin]

I’m jk but it has been a long while

Too long for my own liking

[dry bison]

As an adult, I've spent my entire adulthood either pursuing survival or taking care of old people.

[cursive agate]

People still go outside Alot where I live so it's easier. We're always 10-20 years behind so I was born in 1990 but had the Gen x upbringing more.

Go outside don't come back until the lights come on lol

[slow cedar]

And fighting racoons?

[tender marlin]

People outside where I live are almost all drug addicts

[gusty crater]

Everyone wants to be perceived in a certain way

And I think that's ok, but also depends on why you want to be perceived in that way

If it's for deception, to manipulate then that's obviously not OK

But if you want people to see you as someone you want to show them then all you have to do is strive to become closer to that image

[tender marlin]

That image is borderline impossible for me

Genetics fucked me in the end

[dry bison]

I won't pretend to know what drug addiction feels like, but I pitty the people who know.

[tender marlin]

I mean I know what it’s like to be addicted to weed

[gusty crater]

In the end if you aren't happy with how you are then you shouldn't be yourself

What's the point if it makes you miserable

But there are things you can change about yourself and if you think theu should be changed then do so

[tender marlin]

But I don’t think it’s even close to the same thing at all

[tender marlin]

How do I not be myself?

[gusty crater]

Imagine who you want to be, identify what you can change to be closer to that image and get to work

[tender marlin]

There are exercises, your posture can also affect your voice

E.g. male voice resonates in the chest so a guy with straight back will have deeper and more pleasant voice then someone with bad posture

They don’t get anything

Honestly my whole family

All of them

[tight pagoda]

they get lots of things...bills, taxes, your report cards

[tender marlin]

I mean like understand what I tell them

The problems I’m having

[tight pagoda]

what problems are you having?

[tender marlin]

Well, I’m lonely and depressed, which isn’t really their problem, but they play it down like it’s not as serious and also they obviously care way more about my sibling than me, because they make sure he’s not “overwhelmed” or “has too much on his plate” where as they just treat me like “oh yea, can you make sure this thing is done for me” and they also give 0 shits about anything I do really

Which has made me grown to dislike them a lot

Because they’re just annoying

[tight pagoda]

Unfortunately

[tight pagoda]

They’d put me in a fuckin facility lmao

Question: How long in advance can we project the landing site for a NEO?

[tight pagoda]

https://988lifeline.org/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=web&utm_campaign=onebox

[hasty roost]

That's the thing about life and growing up. When you have parents or older relatives, there are always going to be differences in opinions, ideas, and ways of thinking. It’s just part of life. They have their experiences, and you’re developing your own, so sometimes it feels like they think they know better about everything. That can be really frustrating, especially when you're younger and still figuring things out. You're going to bump heads with them, and that’s normal.

But here’s a way to think about it. Imagine taking a piece of paper and drawing a circle with two pencils. One pencil represents you, and the other represents the person you're clashing with. You both start on opposite sides, moving in different directions. At first, it feels like you’re going further apart, but as time goes on and you both go through life, those lines eventually meet again. You end up with a full circle, one of mutual understanding, shared wisdom, and maybe even agreement. It just takes time and experience to bring it all together.

[pale meadow]

Tldr?

[tender marlin]

I’ll think about it :<

[tender marlin]

Bro this ain’t even a page long :<

[tight pagoda]

youre not alone basil, but I cannot safely give you the help you deserve. it would be dangerious, and if I made things worse it wouldnt be good for either of us

[dry bison]

I like venn diagrams

[pale meadow]

So do I

[gusty crater]

It doesnt work if it's one sided

No matter how much you do to understand someone and communicate with them you will not reach any mutual understanding if they just refuse to have any

It always has to go from both sides, but if you see that the other side makes no effort you should just go your own way

You are responsible for yourself and your choice, not for others and theirs

And there is an overwhelming amount of people who dont care, who's world view is so narrow they can see no other point of view

[dry bison]

Professional help is a good thing.

Don't accept professional help from people not being paid to do it.

They aren't professionals 😛

I often tell my therapist I pay her to bet me up

[dry bison]

You're going to give your therapist imposter syndrome with that freudian shit 😛

[tight pagoda]

[dry bison]

[tight pagoda]

[pale meadow]

If my therapist is otherwise busy that's what we do

[tight pagoda]

mine is a 89 min drive x.x

so i do video

[dry bison]

I want a scan of my brain's neural integrity.

[pale meadow]

Half hour and I enjoy the drive

[hasty roost]

Yeah I get what you're saying and you're right that mutual understanding can't happen if one side refuses to make the effort. That’s definitely true in a lot of situations. I guess I was more speaking from a hopeful or personal point of view where over time, some things can eventually make more sense between people even if they don’t in the moment. But I completely respect your perspective and I think it’s important to know when to protect your own peace too.

Space Wolves warped into a system where Dark Angels fleet was alredy engaging in combat

So Space Wolves joined and one of the battleship picked an enemy and went for the kill

Dark Angel tried to contact them, but Wolves decided to ignore them until they get that ship destroyed

After they shot it down they got fired on by Dark Angel, bc turned out the ship was boarded and when it exploded a bunch of Dark Angels got killed

Leman Russ stopped Lion by promising that he will make it right after the battle and so he did

He came on Dark Angels' ship and asked Lion for pardon to which Lion responded

those are noble words

And they hugged, but in that moment Leman whispered in Lion's ear

It's actually totally possible you could pull that off. seriously, look into it. Some people are what they call “carriers.” They don’t really get sick themselves or only show super mild symptoms, but they can still spread viruses like the flu without even knowing it. Kinda wild, right? These folks can walk through a crowded place like a mall or hop on public transport and unknowingly cause chaos. Definitely something worth researching, carriers are a weird but real thing. The world’s a strange place.

Riddle me this

What is worth learning about computers in 2025

[dry bison]

Depends on the computer.

[silk helm]

I mean as like a potential skill

[dry bison]

Also depends on your intentions

[silk helm]

For a potential job

I lack skills and should probably work on that

If you like working with your hands, learn to build one. Learn the detailed elements of a system and how they work together.

I was wondering if you have had a chance to look into the software Timeshift. I highly recommend it!

My storage is gonna fill up fast with all the pictures I'm taking 😅

Perfect timing to get a new camera; right when everything starts to bloom

Good news, she has developed terrible humour

[slow cedar]

No shit Sherlock

[hasty roost]

Is that all from your pixel phone? Yeah, I can see that filling up fast; you're probably gonna need more cloud storage or learn to zip those photos if you can.

[slow cedar]

At least google gives you three times the free cloud storage

[errant egret]

7zip my beloved

[slow cedar]

But I don't want to compress my photos ;-;

And I still have 199GB left anyway

Then another 80 on my SoupDisk which I can plug into my new phone

[errant egret]

I have a 3.6TB HDD I use for storing photos

[hasty roost]

So you're all good then, tons of space, even cloud storage! That's awesome, I use WinRAR too.

[slow cedar]

:0

How many photos do you have?

[errant egret]

Yea

[slow cedar]

Yeah you can get RAR on android too

Which is neat

I think my cloud storage is about halfway full, but it's already more than what I had with iCloud

[errant egret]

I have several system image files and virtual machines

[slow cedar]

Ah

That makes sense

[errant egret]

I use HDDs because they're a lot less prone to spontaneous failure than SSDs

That's not to say SSDs are bad, I've just had a bad track record with my Samsung SSD

[hasty roost]

Sorry, I spaced out! I was checking my cloud storage (4TB total—2TB I didn't even know about, haha, it's Google!), and 50GB is photos—I have tons, going way back to the start of Google Photos.

[hasty roost]

Don't jinx me! My Linux system's running off my external SSD, the rugged two-terabyte one, and it's been fine so far. Fingers crossed.

And guess what? The internal is also Samsung! Time to pull some serious magic to banish these bad vibes from this cursed Samsung!

Guh

I almost called 911

I wanted to raise the volume

But volume up is right next to power

So I knew I messed up when the camera opened bc you press power twice for that

But hey pixel has a neat jingle for when you activate SOS

[hasty roost]

Fun, right? Neat and useful feature, for sure.

[slow cedar]

I wouldn't call almost calling 911 "fun" but ok

Anyways, time to eat chicken and sadness

[tepid thistle]

How does one eat sadness?

[worthy dawn]

with a smile

[lone gorge]

Love being able to control them in basic ways lol

Wish they’d add them to every planet. Such a nice new mechanic

[robust gulch]

Unseasoned chicken with a side of salad with no toppings or dressings

Aka chicken and sadness

[tepid thistle]

Every now and then I try to bring a squad with me to the extraction area

Astronomy Pic of the Day: Curly Spiral Galaxy M63

Explanation: A bright spiral galaxy of the northern sky, Messier 63 is nearby, about 30 million light-years distant toward the loyal constellation Canes Venatici. Also cataloged as NGC 5055, the majestic island universe is nearly 100,000 light-years across, about the size of our own Milky Way. Its bright core and majestic spiral arms lend the galaxy its popular name, The Sunflower Galaxy. This exceptionally deep exposure also follows faint loops and curling star streams far into the galaxy's halo. Extending nearly 180,000 light-years from the galactic center, the star streams are likely remnants of tidally disrupted satellites of M63. Other satellite galaxies of M63 can be spotted in the remarkable wide-field image, including dwarf galaxies, which could contribute to M63's star streams in the next few billion years.

New beat :3

whatcha think?

Not bad

Actually really good

[lone gorge]

When you were asking what type of music I’m into, I didn’t wanna sound conceited but I like and prefer to make my own a lot 💀😂

But I hang around EDM n rap lol

[lime sand]

You'd love the House scene

[worthy dawn]

LMAO

House trance yeah!

Bro I am the pinnacle of human evolution, peak genetics, the epidamy of the perfect human being.

I totally didn’t struggle with incorrectly spelling epidamy

[lime sand]

Epitome

[lone gorge]

But autocorrect can’t even find it

FUCK

[cursive agate]

@lone gorge

[lime sand]

It was going so well too

[lone gorge]

Sir, we’re jousting…

Yea? Well my 9mm is named lance

We’re good

[worthy dawn]

Didn't you make some music that sounded like yoga stuff a while back ago

[lime sand]

Have you played with the Left Right stereo things?

[lone gorge]

Not sure I follow lol

[lime sand]

Making a track sound like its moving around your head

[lone gorge]

Ohhhhh. Uhhhh Yaknow id bet there’s ways I could but I have not no

[lime sand]

There is a few songs in different genres that play with it, I can send some of the most blatant ones... but you'd need earbuds or headphones

It doesn't work with 1 speaker

[lone gorge]

I can do it, there’s a track “pan” slider for left n right. It’d be tedious to go thru and do it to each soundbyte but essentially yea, you could

[lime sand]

Its probably why it's only done for like 10 seconds

[lone gorge]

Most likely. I’ve learned a lot of the pain in the absolute ass it is knowing a sound you want. The way you hear it in your head, and trying to find one close or manipulate one enough to sound close enough

As well as tweaking volumes, pitches, and now like you said, tonal directionality too

There’s also all this shit too I never touch

I’ve also heard that (I forget the order) but I believe right ear is focused more to hearing lyrics and left ear is focused on the beat. But when no lyrics it’s moreso one pays attention to the more subtle things then instead

[worthy dawn]

Try adding lyrics to your music Jenks lol

Make sure to auto tune it to hell

[lone gorge]

I just gotta compete with mumbling rap I got this

Habsheepadoobahapao

Deep fry it for Gen z

So mumble rap + gen z brainrot paired with whatever Jenks can cook up. I think we got ourselves a perfect album

I shouldn't have read ANY of the messages after I left

Makes me feel gross

[lone oak]

I dont know if anyone can tell the moderator or the admins about this, but I need to say this somewhere for the benefit of the many, so, here goes...

I need to point out this little post
I've tested it on two different servers of mine, and it succeeded both times (in different ways.)
apparently there is a hidden AI that steals art for generational purposes
so if anyone here has a server where they post their personal art, there is a 99% chance that its hiding on that server too

the user id is 1153984868804468756

again, I tested it twice and it worked both times.

that's all, thanks

[lone gorge]

#contact-us would likely be a good bet to tell them

[worthy dawn]

Try contacting staff if you think a bot is here

[lone oak]

thank you so much

peace be with you all Travellers. 🖖

[lime sand]

Could also be that Discord update that doesn't turn it off

[worthy dawn]

Oh that bot discord is partnering with?

[lime sand]

I'm speculating, but it's been abuzz for a few different servers

[worthy dawn]

I think I've heard something about that yeah

[lime sand]

Other server owners seeing the update but not finding options to turn it off

To be honest, if they did, I would KILL to see the metric of how many servers opt out

[grim palm]

good

Watching Sansa watch the hounds kill Ramsey in GoT is amazing imo. Great episode

[silent wagon]

He got killed by more than one hound, iirc 😆

[grim palm]

And I loveeee it!

[silent wagon]

God that was like, the last good season

Pain

[grim palm]

Ikr?

[silent wagon]

Battle of the Bastards 💕

[grim palm]

ugh I've been rewatching and I'm afraid of next season

[silent wagon]

Lol. Ngl I quit partway through 7 I think, I couldn't take it anymore

[grim palm]

you kept thinking about what was going to happen huh? lmao

well I got to the battle of the bastards so I'm almost at the finish line and momma didn't raise a quitter lol

[silent wagon]

I almost really got into Vikings but apparently it pulls a GoT and has two shit seasons ending it, I got warned early so I stopped
I'm watching The Last Kingdom now, which is similar to Vikings but it tells both sides of Danes vs the English and the books it's adapting are ACTUALLY FINISHED (I'm looking at you, George) so the show ended well, lol

It even got a movie afterwards that covered the final book

[grim palm]

ever watch Rome?

[silent wagon]

Me at 5:30 AM back when I did opening shifts 😭

[lone gorge]

Idk why that fucking cat kills me 😂💀😂

[silent wagon]

Have not, it any good?

[grim palm]

wow, Battle of the Bastards went right into "The Winds of Winter" the whole dragon fire thing. I think we got very gassed up when it happened.

[grim palm]

It really is!

[silent wagon]

👀

I'll investigate after I finish The Last Kingdom

[grim palm]

It's not just historically ok... great actors

they wrapped it up way to soon so season 2 sucks

but season 1

worth your time

[grim palm]

oooo what's that about?

[grim palm]

as a history lover, sign me up! I'll hit that up after I try to end this series!

[silent wagon]

It's a lot more historically accurate than that damn Vikings show, that's for sure 🤣

The main character, Uhtred, has Jon Snow vibes (I swear that's not why I got into it 😭)

[upper flame]

I can see it

[silent wagon]

He's way funnier than Jon and definitely more crude, but he has the spirit 😂

[lone gorge]

Depending how far you are, I’ve come to love his (uhtred) right hand man, ||the brown short haired Irish sounding dude||

Think that’s after ||he becomes a slave in that ship?|| could be wrong

[lime sand]

Well that narrows it down

[lone gorge]

It does cuz all his other mates are pretty dintinct characters.

“He’s that dude with, the sword, and he like swung it and shit. You know which one”

[silent wagon]

Just started s2! I watched the first episode

[lone gorge]

I binged that so long ago I’d need a rewatch to remember a lot

I can’t even remember uhtred home town

Uhtred of…

My dumbass keeps thinking bethlehem but I know that ain’t it

[gusty crater]

I had a 40k nightmare

I was a guardsman, It was very dark. I remember ground was brown/gray, not even a speck of grass

I was surrounded by flames and in front of me was some crashed aircraft

Amidst the wreckage stood a commissar with his back to me and at his feet was another guardsman

Then commissar shot the guardsman with his boltpistol

Idk if it was mercy kill, bc the guardsman didn't look injured, or an execution

Commissar started turning around and that's when I woke up

I tried going back to sleep but I was going back to that scene

Grey mud, flames, crashed aircraft and commissar shooting a guardsman at his feet

Eventually I gave up on sleeping and just got up
