If you're not allergic to 5-10 minutes of looking at protondb or other resources to understand how to get the game running, this isn't a problem.

I've not yet found a difficult process for getting old games running. They've been around so long that the community has typically documented everything you need to know to get up and running.

Roblox "Oof" or Messiah "Oof"?

Choose wisely.

Hellllll yeah brother. Ulcerate rules.

Here's one of my favourite artists from the more exploratory, avant-garde side of the Death Metal scene.

Absolutely unreal. We need way tighter regulations on this.

There's also Angband which might be more in line with what OP is looking for.

Bugfish's channel is incredible. The Lord Of The Rings analysis alone is peak Youtube. Underrated channel.

If all you're comparing it to is Windows then yeah, I guess.

I realized a while back that Alcohol just steals joy from the future and uses it up in the present moment, but the way it does so is on a rising curve of what I liken to joy debt.

A beer in the evening after a hard day of work isn't really going to accrue any joy debt. No hangover, no real long-term negative effects.

A night out with moderate drinking, not to the point of intoxication, incurs a joy debt that you'll likely pay for in the morning in the form of a headache. A strong coffee and a good breakfast pays off most of the debt but you're still in the hole for a couple hours after. Frequent repetition of this incurs a sneaky kind of joy debt that slowly accrues over time and if not controlled will fuck up your health as you age, but can be reversed if you get things under control.

Getting proper drunk fucks up the entire next day. Basically an entire day of joy debt. Your rager last night was paid for by both your wallet and your well being the next day. God forbid this becomes a regular thing for you. One of the worst examples of joy debt I can think of is liver cirrhosis.

So yeah I agree, alcohol can help mood if you're not the kind of person that gets angry when they drink but it can also indebt you in some really fucked up ways that sneak up on you pretty quick.

At least photoshop required skill to make anything convincing.

Cogmind is such an amazing game! Add Caves of Qud and Dwarf Fortress to the list as well!

Forever games indeed.

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.

Hey folks, I'm hoping to find French Youtube channels to subscribe to based on the topics above. I don't get to engage much with French and I'm trying to maintain my ability to understand it and speak it. I figured if I inject some french content into my Youtube algorithm that would be very helpful.

Any recommendations would be appreciated. :)

 

...in what proximity would you have to be to the sun and how fast would you have to be spinning (like a rotisserie chicken) so that your light side didn't burn and your dark side didn't freeze; rotating just enough to keep a relatively stable temperature?

Absolutely absurd, I know but this question somehow popped into my head and won't leave. 😆🐔🔥🧊

 

[EDIT] Inb4 more people try to suggest that I'm mourning the loss of this scumbag capitalist fuck: No, I'm not sad he's dead. No, I don't think corporate murder is acceptable and no, I would not ever rat to police if I knew the shooter and yes, I believe the punishment fits the crimes he's committed against untold thousands of people. THAT SAID...

I'm not down with vigilante murder or anything because it seems like the slipperiest of slopes toward chaos, but what other option is there in a situation where someone seeks to make an impact in this way? You can't just beat up evil CEOs and let them go back to work. It would be naïve to expect them to change their ways when faced with consequences for their actions and then promptly let go. It just seems like the chances that it emboldens their penchant for exploitative behaviour and disdain for people in need are too high.

We're just born into and strapped to this capitalist ride and expected to sit quiet and make these leeches their billions. How else can this cancerous greed possibly be dealt with? Is vigilante murder the only effective option? Honest questions. I'm terribly conflicted and I'm genuinely curious what more reasonable and intelligent minds than mine think about this because I can't think of an alternative to murder in this case.

Ideally, we wouldn't have to resort to vigilante killings to level the playing field but I 100% understand that we don't live in a society where the rich will ever give a fuck about the rest of us or would ever sacrifice their power over us in the name of goodwill.

 

Real therapy cat vibes.
