I have a perpetual mixtape running in my head. It's literally impossible to stop. I know I'm in the depths of depression when the music stops, and I'm climbing back out when it comes back.

Not caring about digital privacy.

I always liked the time-based skilling in EVE. You don't have to grind for skills. I really enjoyed that game for a few years.

A yacht full of NFT owners is just about the last place in this universe that I'd want to be.

Honestly, there are some flavors of pretentious that are just downright interesting. Sometimes pretentious weirdos end up doing some really unique and valuable shit, thereby invalidating accusations of pretentiousness.

Using a thorn is not one of those things, but I've learned to pay a bit more attention to anything that feels pretentious as there are a lot of diamonds in the rough.

I'm so glad I didn't end up in the fucking military. I was in cadets as a kid and while I had a lot of fun it was clearly grooming kids to adapt to and have military life normalized

Fuck. That..

I'm kinda in this boat but I have a soft spot for anime that I grew up with in the 90s and early 2000's.

There's also some more recent stuff that's been generally OK, but I can never keep up with conversations about it because I'm just not in that sphere at all really.

Hit me with some Gen 1 Pokémon, Avatar: TLA or old Ghibli stuff and I'm waxing poetic instantly lol

Politics.

Not interested in the slightest.

Likely inconvenienced a whole flight's worth of people for a stupid Strava post. This is also bogus because he couldn't have use GPS for this. The watch's accelerometer would be the only metric and those are wildly inconsistent on a good day.

Cue the Picard facepalm.

 

Dude just wrote an entire plugin himself that models the IIC+ based on the schematic. Comparison between the Mark V and the plugin at 13:00. Incredible work.

This is where I'm at after two days of progress on this incredible track. I had a truly flawless playthrough on my second try this evening but failed to hit record in Reaper so this take comes about ~20 takes after that absolutely heartbreaking mistake.

This is honestly the only AB track I can get through at the moment since all their songs are typically incredibly fast and difficult. My picking hand is just not able to keep up with that stuff yet.

Big shoutout to the band for making their tabs available for purchase. It's been an adventure learning this stuff and it has seriously leveled up my playing in the process. Check out this link to their merch site for tabs and other stuff: https://massacremerch.com/collections/artificial-brain

The tone I'm using is a custom patch in my AxeFX II using the FAS Modern III model - a tweaked version of the classic 5150 - and a DiMarzio Blaze in the bridge position.

So we have a pear tree in our back yard that decided this was the year it was going to successfully bear fruit.

Its been extremely dry and we've been away a lot so I haven't cut the grass in about 8 weeks. I didn't even notice the tree had ripe fruit on it until yesterday. Stoked to check it out I walked over to pick some and noticed there's about ten full grown pears rotting on the ground below the tree that are just absolutely infested with wasps.

The tree is near our fence with the neighbors so I gotta deal with this fast so they don't get overwhelmed by wasps.

Does anyone know of a safe way to approach this? I broke my ribs and fucked up my back on a dirt bike last weekend so I can't exactly do anything that requires quick reactions or running away.

Any ideas would be super helpful 🙏

[EDIT] The solution was to wait until nightfall for them to return to their nest. I was able to pick up all the fruit and dispose of it with ease with maybe 5 wasps hanging around, seemingly in a stupor due to low light and cold air, instead of what looked like a few hundred during the day.

Hell yeah! The boys are back.

 

Hey everyone,

Not sure I've seen this particular technique before.

Here's a tutorial on how you can use REAPER's stock gate plugin to generate MIDI that you can send to an EQ to modulate frequency bands to eliminate bleed in your drum tracks. This is super powerful on toms.

Inspired by the FabFilter Pro-MB bleed reduction tricks.

This is an all instruments/vocals scratch-made cover of the track that got me into Black Metal. A truly iconic masterpiece of atmosphere. I always wanted to do a cover of this track. I'm very happy with how this turned out.

Thanks to Yabridge (https://github.com/robbert-vdh/yabridge) I was able to record, mix, and master this entirely on a Linux system (Nobara) running Reaper with stock Reaper plugins, many FOSS plugins, and a couple choice paid plugins; namely GGD Invasion and Sketch Cassette II. Everything else was free or open source by choice.
