Marathon is a live service game
More live service games - Concord, Fairgames
I played MGS3 years ago, I'm not that excited about remakes
Splattoon rip off
Spider-Man sequel looks fine
Journey thing looks fine
Alan Wake might be good? The first one wasn't
A handheld for streaming games....I don't know what the point of this is? An app can do this.
Some VR stuff which won't tempt me to buy a $600 headset
Lot's of CG trailers aka we have fuck all to show you
so what would you have liked to see, sounds like you're being hypercritical. did you watch e3 last year? now that sucked

That was a really disappointing showcase
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

Don't know if this was mentioned but they're playing in Venice in october.
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

When I first heard Analord in 2006 (maybe 2005, don't remember), I thought that he could have done it all in Reason. I especially think that now, after having heard a clean digital copy without the vinyl noise.
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

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..

I know nothing (no inside tracks anymore; haven't had any for years), but let's call it "experience" due to my age... or as the kids say "my hot take"?
We're not getting anything ever again. They're done with music (at least releasing it commercially). I would LOVE to be wrong though. Maybe reissues (Twoism), but nothing new per se.
No BOC set, no pre-Twoism material, nada.
Again - just my personal old man jaded pessimistic opinion.
Or... they just do things in their own time, and 10+ years is what they think is an appropriate timeframe.
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.

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.

WAV is a perfect copy of the original audio file, Flac is not.
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

what to gain from WAVs compared to FLACs?
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

It seems to have weighed the disco part higher than the breakcore part, but I can hear hints of breakcore sampling chaos in a few places.
okay so it might take a different approach in wording it.. this is more like, mashup french house music

I got a chance to try MusicLM. Pretty cool. Output for this prompt is attached. If anybody has any suggestions, let me know and I'll try them out.

Alco Official BOC Theory (TM)
i suspect the brothers have utilized DNA tracking technology (e.g., 23 and me) to discover further brothers who are being trained in BOC studio techniques. some of these brothers were too young at first and years were needed to raise and train them in the THS environment. the next album will feature several hitherto unknown brothers.
boc sisters about to enter the stage

Doubt I’ll ever buy it but this thing looks amazing
the fact that you're still doubting it instead of being sure of not buying it is scary to me. this gear blows

I mean, yeah. Since the beginning.
This isn't them dragging a .wav into a DAW at least. Sampling like that and how music can reiterate old songs are two different things IMO
-
I watched half of this and it's mostly him putting a beat over an existing song, calling it sampling, singing some slightly coherent sentences over it in the same key, then playing it in a livestream and people hyping it up to be the next musical reinvention. is this how modern hiphop is done? at one point this video talks about him receiving a zip or something of built beats+melodies (which are also just ripped off italian music) and then he just sings on top and people call it his music..?? this is so creatively bakrupt to me I don't understand

That thing is pretty cool.
I pulled a 70s Wurlitzer out fo the trash years ago (not joking) and I finally added an insert to it. Using filters and reverb on the signal to pull out harmonics and extend them BEFORE they reaches the speaker (so that so that the whole thing can acoustically feed back when the damper is up, which it doesn't do stock but does easily and pretty controllably once you start inserting effects) gets into similar territory, but this thing looks a lot more flexible and practical (can't comment on the sound since my Wurlitzer is about 30 years overdue for a recap and doesn't ahve as much hihg end as it used to, even when I got it back around '99).
If I had the money I might even buy one, but I don't.
That's just a prototype though, don't think you can buy it even if you had the dough

cool move, polyend should follow so we can mod our trackers..

Did you get your switch jailbroken or how does it work?
I did it myself at some point. It's pretty easy to do as long as you have an older model switch, like the first year of its release I think. You can check here with a number on the bottom of your device: https://ismyswitchpatched.com/
If it's compatible you buy or mcguyver a little jig that bridges two pins on the right side of the joycon rails. Having those connected and holding the volume up+power button forces the device into a state where you can push a payload from your computer, phone or whatever.
After this you have to carefully follow a guide (https://switch.homebrew.guide/) with which you can dualboot into the normal firmware where you can go online and a seperate firmware which runs off the SD card where you can mess with homebrew. I messed up an update down the line which banned my normal firmware so you really have to understand it if you don't want to mess up. It's really cool though, you can overclock the switch by like 75%. DS emulator runs like a dream, PS1 too of course. Modding Smash Bros. was probably the thing I had the most fun with. Oh yeah someone built MilkyTracker for it last year which is just awesome https://github.com/retronx-team/MilkyTrackerNX

What Video Games Are You Currently Playing
in General Banter

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!"
