    Your pointless thoughts & observations

    in General Banter

    Posted

    what is wrong with people man. I haven't been going out in a good while now due to being hella depressed for a time but then I see people getting drunk having the most unhinged drunk drama I've seen in a good while and it's just so.. strange to me. are people really that impulsive? why scream at your girlfriend about your relationship insecurities. why shout at your ex lover 5 years after your relationship about some weird concept you had of him maybe having cheated on you in secret. screaming at the top of your lungs like a toddler. picking fights because someone looks at you funny. this can't be the baseline for human behavior can it? what the fuck? maybe all that overthinking my own psyche did more good than bad. oh chronical its so different to talk to you about my thoughts. no. stop. maybe people are just sporadic thinkers. how else do you get racists and the like. all this coming of age of a big ass magical universe only to end in pain hatred and frustration. get out of here. this cant be it. much love watmm

    Alan Wake 2 has me intrigued, I absolutely adored the Federal Bureau of Control in 2019's Control, I hope there'll be lots of hidden lore tidbits to find again. The Twin Peaks/True Detective inspiration has me excited, I love this shit like you wouldn't believe. Hope it's not too short, I'll explore every nook and cranny at a snail's pace regardless:gamer:

    stupid first world problems you're dealing with

    Can't get my new studio to sound right!!!!!! FUCK!!!!!!!

    how does it sound wrong? on that note I just finished moving mine and my TD-3-MO is sounding a little off. not as squelchy. I hope it's not borked and I was just too tired to realise the problem yesterday

    edit: was too tired, it used to go into a mackie channel where I could EQ instead of directly into the interface.. with a midiverb send.. haha.. I win again.. against myself

    I thinking about getting the Resident Evil Origins on Switch, now when I have the Oled I think the graphic will be really good!

    Is it a good game? Can anyone recommend me other creepy/mystery games? Cheers 

    check out alien isolation and fatal frame. maybe inscryption too, love that one, mindfuck of a game that is. zero escape: the nonary games are really intriguing mystery games too, especially the first two

    Gear-Shaming™

    You notice you are standing in a dimly lit cave surrounded by magicians, each growing more and more complex conjuring spellwork by reciting their old formulas in creative ways.
    A want to join them manifests in you, yet you brought only your set of dice, some parchment and an E-Quill that you haven't read the manual of yet. You notice your power in this room is quickly fading,

    What do you do?

    • Ask mages for help with the quill

    • Exit cave

    • Speak loudly: "Quill-shaming"

    • Discuss the intricacies of magic labor

    The TikTok algorithm can serve you pretty interesting and deep content if you train it correctly especially concerning mindfulness and psychological content. its not just people dancing. But yeah I am also interested in trends currently forming and tiktok is a great platform for this. 

    I'm just of the opinion that tiktok should be something we actively disregard the use of but that's also a silly rabbit hole like not using plastic straws, and how different is it for me to use Instagram, not a whole lot, just feeding another social media maelstrom with my attention.. God what a mess the internet has become :catsupine:

    for me Instagram was ok when I first replaced all friends with animals during the pandemic and now I replaced the animals with local DJs. So I only go to Instagram to find out about parties and small raves. reddit really went to shit after they removed the 3rd party apps so I rarely go there. Hacker News replaces reddit almost completely (best interface is hn.premii.com). for me its mostly news and tiktok that I spend too much time on. TikTok really has a 3rd sense how it guesses stuff you like and send you down rabbitholes but its not so negative as the other media platforms and even shows videos how to reduce social media consumption from time to time

    it boggles my mind how you're into hacker news but then you partake in CCP funded tiktok madness :confuzzled: im getting old

    This is more or less a soft announcement. Not worth starting a thread over I think. Anyway, I've been contemplating this for at least the past week or so, but...pretty sure this is going to be my last post, at least for a while.

    That is to say, I plan to start an indefinite internet hermitage/sabbatical tomorrow. No FB, no YT, no Reddit, no X...not even WATMM. Nothing that involves public online interaction of any kind. It's reached the point where today's internet mainstream is becoming mentally untenable for me. And I need to withdraw just to clear my mind.

    So it's down to basics - email, online banking & shopping, and news. And probably the occasional food recipe hunting. But that's it. That'll be the extent of my internet usage for the foreseeable future.


    May the Dank Memes continue...with or without me. But I shall return one day.

    I feel this, (doom)scrolling through the social media platforms I frequent (instagram and reddit mostly, WATMM is a pub, doesnt count) now makes me physically upset, like that fist clenching meme. when this happens and its constantly happening tbh I just close the app./website and contemplate what just transpired. I don't want ads or algorithm shit stuffed down my conscious&subconscious mind palace throat like some animal in a drug testing facility.. we should all take a step back from this bullshit, messes with the brain💀 youll be missed ambermonk

    Yeah and it has to be a pretty old version right? The oled is not jailbreakable as far as I know

    Don’t you also need a launch model to hack it? I sold my launch Switch for that reason, and got the full MSRP for it, 5 years later.

    No, as far as I know there's a modchip that supports the OLED model. Which is quite a bit of fiddly work modifying your hardware but it is possible that way. The much easier way is supported only on the first few batches of OG switches yes, where you just need to bridge two pins on the switch's right side joystick connection to force the device into an exploitable state. I was lucky with mine, was the last run before they patched it, you can check here with the serial code on the bottom of your device: https://ismyswitchpatched.com/

    Honestly having a hacked switch is the coolest thing ever. Really great PS1 emulation with duckstation, really good DS emulation with working touchscreen controls (I prefer the Korg DS apps compared to the Switch Korg thing) and loads of other neat things.. Spent ages modding characters into smash bros, setting up custom stages and music.. And check this out :lol: https://github.com/retronx-team/MilkyTrackerNX

    What is up with Earthbound? I see commercial on Youtube about Earthbound port for the Switch but can not find it on Nintendo Store? 

    I think it's not a native port, should be in the SNES emulator

    Wow thanks alot! Im only looking for the Super Mario 64 one so this 3D All Stars sure solve the problem!

    So good! The Switch Online Classic System alright but can I transfer my own ROM's there? I would love to play some Super Metroid Hacks. 
    I thought the Emulators was that Subscription plan.. Sad it seems you need to be online to play it? Therefor harder to play when you are on the go! 

    You can import ROMs but only if your switch is hacked unfortunately

    I confess, I havent really paid attention to any of his club stuff, Im really taking about his album, which sits somewhere between Eno/Blake/Ian William Craig.

     

     

    this made me strangely emotional, sits kind of inbetween the caretaker, the microphones and the soundtrack of eternal sunshine of the spotless mind.. granted im also kind of a mess this weekend reminiscing times with special people.. the singing could be a little less poppy but hey it made me smoke a really good cigarette with licorice tea out of the window to a storm brewing up outside so thats nice:)

    I don't understand the people that hate on someone just because they are mainstream. If you can't enjoy a good accessible banger every now and then I can't image what vibe you give off about your music opinions in real life. Some real "🤓☝" stuff. He isn't like some David guetta type rip off disgusting EDM artist. 

    not everyone can vibe with club bangers.. I'm honestly jealous of people being able to vibe with radio club banger music.. theres so much of it in my hometown and I stand there paralysed by its paint by numbers musical entropy. I do have my guilty pleasures like overmono but yeah. reptile brain pls take over, I wanna vibe with the normies :mu-ziq:
