I never hear anyone talk about it ever and it's one of my favorite games. I think it's a work of art, really. To me it's underrated.

Hyper Light Drifter for gaming.

Extol (Norway) for music, specifically the album "Burial".

Hannah Fry is great too. Becky Smethurst as well.

I approve of your list but Anton Petrov is a bit much for a 12 year old, I think. Kyle Hill gets a bit dark for a 12 year old sometimes.

It certainly doesn't hurt to just start off on the right foot with Carl Sagan and Cosmos.

The main difference between Luge and Skeleton (beyond the obvious) is that in Luge you launch and accelerate with your hands and arms. In Skeleton you do so with your legs. That's a big reason why they're both valid as olympic sports.

You gotta block what you don't wanna see or choose an instance that has similar values to you as they'll be defederated from a lot of shit you don't wanna see.

Ok, that makes sense.

Your downsides make me think you work for a pretty shitty company. I don't work a second longer than scheduled ever. If I want to take a sick day I don't even tell them why. They don't care. If I go over my allocation they might ask what's up but that has never happened.

Oh man, I played Carmageddon so much as a kid.

I miss EVE. 2010 to 2015 was when I played. It was excellent.

Hell yeah. My buddy has this LP and the art is amazing.

This is the curse of IT. Perpetually undervalued yet absolutely essential. If IT were ever to disappear, the businesses they support become walking corpses.

It chaps my ass that everyone working in business has grown up with computers being essential to business yet its somehow still acceptable for them to be functionally illiterate in using them.

Sometimes its so fucking bad that the equivalent would be someone being granted a drivers license and given a car but they have no idea how to put it in park, let alone use the brakes.

IT are the Dunedain Rangers protecting The Shire. They're not popular, they're barely acknowledged, often scorned, but without their presence The Shire cannot be.

It's definitely not me. I don't use that shit for anything. I hope it stays down forever.

 

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.
