Those ears tho. Little fella can hear what’s going on in the future.

Thats roughly 50 Milkyways. How?!?! Damn, nature! You scary.

That did it! Thank you so much!

Ill definitely look into this.

I’m installing Mint for the first time at this very moment. So far, it’s easier than I anticipated. Fuck You Microsoft.

Edit: bro, firstly, what the fuck and where did all this performance come from?!?! I vastly underestimated how many resources windows was hogging. I downloaded Steam (easy-peasy) and then Project Zomboid just as a test. This game runs like butter now. I was having major problems with it before. To the point I basically stopped playing. I know its just one example but I haven’t had my machine run this well in several years, I feel. Also, got Spotify running. Super easy. I need to figure out how to get my VPN set up (ProtonVPN) but so far, I’m kind of in shock. I can’t wait to actually dig in and see what I can do with this new setup.

When I first got the game Factorio, for the first week, I was having full on hallucinations of the little conveyor belt arrows twisting and snaking all over my vision when I closed my eyes. Even when I blinked, id get a flash of some grotesque squirming abomination. Scared the shit outta me because I’d never experienced that before nor even heard of it. I was relieved when I learned it was a known thing but it was still distracting as all hell.

The only thing it proves is that I’ll use any old screen shot to validate my nonsensical internal dialog.

I misread your post at first. I edit this to simply “Weed and video games, fuck yeah!”

Exactly. It’s an art in itself. A cross fade was laying the diagonal cuts of two strips onto each other at the seam. Your fade time what the angle of the cut. DAWs visualize that but it used to be an actual cut. Wild times back then. Digital completely took over right after I left college and it’s a shame because there’s something special in there that makes every edit mean something. With no Ctrl-Z, every cut is a commitment.

If you look up pics of old iconic rock master reels, some of those things look like a Frankenstein monster. But once they put it on wax for sale, you’d never know the reels looked like hot garbage.

let’s get you back inside, grandpa. Rub some liniment on those bunions and put you on one of your favorite spaghetti westerns.

I do sound professionally and I originally learned to track on 2" magnetic tape. Our one digital console had something like 24 channels (which was cutting edge at the time) and every channel required a $40k card slotted into this proprietary rack costing god know how much. Now, any cheap laptop can be an audio rig that has basically unlimited channels and enough DSP to basically do anything they want. Nothing like slicing tape with a razor hoping your edit was right. Also, navigating a patch bay that looks like spilled spaghetti to pop a single channel of compression on a track.

Just couple of geriatrics now.

Fear Inoculum is over 6 years old already. That still feels brand new to me. Especially since we had to wait over 13 years between 10,000 Days and their “New” Fear Inoculum.

Google wasn’t Google back then. Same name, different devil.

My sibling is way younger than I and she and their friends were asking me what it was like during 9/11 because that’s entirely before their time. I felt like an old vet talking about storming the beaches on D-Day. It’s so wild how actual adults were born in what feels like just a few years ago.

it’s not me. I have been carrying around that resentment towards them for many years now. Front line get the spear, or so it’s said.

112k AkChuUhLee. (I had to look it back up) I’ve been a career Tool fan but that’s as far as I’ve ever gotten. I’m where I want to be tho. And this way, I won’t need to make a fake crying apology video.

Here is the link to one that didn’t get a strike from about that time. But I’ve also had to attach proof, I was THE FIRST. Found it when I was in college.
