  1. Have you golfed before are you going to play this to level 100 and then go defeat the bourgeois?
  2. how sick is this? sounds like the tuss and collapse had a baby
  3. reminded me of trackermatte too but that's definitely afx. ROTR ehh not really. railway raver and automatic tasty more like. but even for these three it'd be pretty unconventional. sounds like a jolly as fuck followup to abundance to me.. here's some more I found: https://streamable.com/z3f4yb https://streamable.com/t9043z https://streamable.com/fnh00v https://streamable.com/81evja https://streamable.com/oxiqgg this set is amazing, hope someone recorded it properly.. so many phones!
  4. m2-res_480p.mp4 some of stockholm
  5. I like what iglooghost is doing in terms of laying some new groundwork. A friend of mine called it maximalist once, that always stuck with me. keep going back to mute egg here at 10:08. There's not a whole lot of music like this I'd say? Wish there was. This one's fun too, more in the hip hop beat vein:
  6. Played the beta up to level 25 and Diablo 4 has me all diabolically giddy. I remember playing Diablo 2 on my dad's lap. I was scared of the Wendigo in the caves and he was a bad gamer, I don't think we ever reached act 2. Eventually in high school I saved up for my own tower to play Diablo 3 and Bad Company 2, and 11 years later here we are. I never stuck around with D3 because I preferred the gloomy atmosphere of D2 compared to D3 so this is looking right up my alley. Thinking about it now Diablo was probably my introduction to my love for all things Lovecraftian. The crossplay integration sounds perfect too, besides not having couch co-op on PC. I'm curious if I can just level a character, make a mean build, group up with my friends and fight people in the PVP zones. Those places might be endgame-build arenas only eventually so the first few weeks/months might be the least static experience there. Some world secrets to find would be cool too. I preoredered it because otherwise I'd probably be spoiling myself reading about it online.. Not really looking forward to the usual Blizzard launch problems. Reviews are looking like a good time though. I just wish there still were paladins for the full nostalgia line-up:
  7. extinction is inevitable with the heat death of the universe might as well get a little hologram waifu that helps with shopping lists on the way there. I wonder why you decided to post this here? it's just fear mongering, do you just want us to circlejerk complain about it? Or discuss.. AI leading to extinction? I'm so tired of seeing media exploit people's fears for clicks.
  8. I'm so not into Steven Spielberg I watched this movie thinking it was going to be his take on a weird magical family. Probably mixed up an article about a book adaption at some point. When I realised it was about him it became pretty obnoxious. Why does the actor playing him wear lenses? Did Spielberg have some sort of cornea sickness? Who makes a movie about himself anyways? Lynch felt very shoehorned in at the end. I was glad it was over.
  9. Just how much gear do you have? I see you on every page, talking about a different synth you have to get now ? No hard feelings, just admiring your budget
  10. uhh.. chosen tracks off analord? is that your argument for it being made with software?
  11. I feel like a lot of games nowadays are paint-by-numbers ideas pushed by higher-up financial strategies instead of teams getting to work on something they can freely form until a prototype for an idea can get pitched properly. Maybe it's also an issue with lead game designers? Like that FPS magic game, it legit makes me wonder if these people are creatively bankrupt or if they just type "generic sci fi magic design" into some neural network and go "yes! that! market strategy said this works!"
  12. so what would you have liked to see, sounds like you're being hypercritical. did you watch e3 last year? now that sucked
  13. Eh, could've been worse. Dragons Dogma looks incredible, the fan-favorite MGS getting a remake is pretty cool too. The moment I saw the snake I started singing Snake Eater in my head with a grin on my face. I'm pumped for Alan Wake too, the first one's story is intriguing but the gameplay is very rusty nowadays. The rest besides maybe Bungie's new old shooter seem to be games I'm getting to old for to lose the disbelief while gaming. Oh, Journey: Tony Hawk edition looked pretty comfy too. That being said, all I'm excited for doesn't even have a release date. This generation of consoles is really a snoozefest two years in
  14. I'm not really comfortable with sharing her name here. she's a lovely hooman tho, I can tell you that ?
  15. At the Biennale too! I was there 10 years ago I think, I remember Ben Frost had this lovely room outfitted with speakers and projectors showing the eastern Kongo conflicts but with everything green keyed in as pink. The whole town felt like a feverdream of art, would love to see AE there
  16. To me it seems more like Analord is a balls-to-the-wall analogue workflow/studio.. Each instrument sounds like distinct hardware+hardware FX being intricately sequenced.. I really dont hear a DAW here
  17. got a td-3-mo this week and this was the first little test recording.. love how you can filter off melodic bits.. thought this'd fit right here ? curious if he used a devilfish on the analords now.. analords lol.mp3
  18. Imagine if the musical sendoff for Boards Of Canada as a whole was the Treat Em Right remix two years ago. I wouldn't feel very well treated. More like a prostitute.
  19. If you still don't get it maybe imagine a zip file. If I send you 20 different pictures of flowers in an email attachment it'll be what, 20MB with every flower being 1MB big. So I zip up those 20 pictures and suddenly I get a smaller file that I can mail over. Now it's, say, 12MB instead of 20. When you open the zip you will have exactly the same pictures I have. Every single bit of the files will be identical. That is because ZIP is a lossless format. The program initially compresses the 20 pictures, then I send you the compressed version, you decompress it and you're left with the exact data you would've had if I sent each picture seperately. Just now you've saved 8MB of storage space in the process. That only works because the ZIP encoding is lossless. Meaning after decoding (unpacking) it loses no information from its original counterpart, my 20 stupid flower pictures. Now if ZIP was a lossy format like MP3, you'd get 20 pictures that would probably look fine from a glance but if you looked closer they would not be identical to my files, having lost information in the encoding/decoding process, thus, lossy. FLAC is lossless compression. It sounds the same as your WAV but it's smaller and your computer has to decode the data to raw audio data first. If it was an MP3, lossy compression, it would not sound the same.
  20. That is just wrong. WAV is uncompressed so your computer has an easier time to read the data. FLAC has to go through a decompression, decoding stage before playback, but after decompressing there is zero loss of audio data, meaning it'll be 1:1 the data of the audio that was encoded to FLAC. Your WAV might start playing a microsecond faster than your FLAC on an old laptop but there is no difference in lossless audio formats when it reaches the speaker
  21. nothing. WAV is uncompressed lossless audio storage and FLAC is compressed lossless audio. So from how I understand it the only difference is your computer having to decode data before loading the FLAC but they'd both play back the same. But then with compression you can save disk space so I'd rather have that than keep a bunch of WAVs
