  1. new twitter follower! what's going on here w/this pic? as they go this is out of the norm of "hot sluts in your area" bot followers i get. i mean.. it's kind of mesmerizing. i don't understand it. maybe it's Ai art? or maybe it's like the Blue Rose girl (Lil) in Fire Walk With Me? my mother's sister's girl
  2. i had 2 colds in the previous 6/7 weeks. the first one sucked. second one sucked more. had a coughing attack and almost passed out. saw stars and everything. wasn't the rona though. tested myself several times throughout. still think i've somehow not gotten the rona this whole time unless i had it before it was called a pandemic. hope you feel better soon. i rarely get sick and twice in 6/7 weeks was pretty frustrating and gnarly.
  3. i imagined this at the Ancient Aliens "AlienCon" greenscreen kissing booth. https://www.thealiencon.com
  4. Been following him onpatreon a while. He shares some cool patches. Def an ae influence but he’s doing his own thing and i’m sure eventually will get where he’s going.
  5. gaslight him or kill him with kindness. pretend to be sincere about how great he is - "yes thank you. we wouldn't know what to do with out you" - but in a way that makes it impossible for him to tell if you're fucking with him. wind him up. see what happens. enjoy the show. or be zen and ignore him entirely

    Divorce

    remember Drew's advice. womp womp. anyway.. good to get back out there. don't rush it. i hope tomorrow goes well and that you'll be relieved.
  7. yeah. all those things are true. i know the idea is not new and that younger people often have already adopted this as a way of being for a while now.. spend money on experience not consumer goods.. buy the best version of a thing they can afford and hope that it will last long time.. or go to the army/navy surplus store for some long lasting type things for cheap. i have polyfiber tights i wear for when cycling as a base layer in winter and they're the best. got for cheap from army/navy store. they repel water and wind and are breathable somehow. it's magic. i sew the small holes i get in my fav pair of boots/shoes because they still have life in them and it's not hard even w/my shitty skills. i have a newer pair of the same shoes and they do fit differently and aren't of same quality. i bought a pair on line last year during black friday sales and returned them immediately because they were completely different fit and were horribly uncomfortable. jeans seems less well made too unless you get the cycling fit levi's which have reinforced crotches. they last a long time. i have a pair of standard blue jeans that i had to sew the iron on patches into the crotch after wearing them a few months. fixing stuff is satisfying in its own way.. and shopping is generally a detestable experience to me.
  8. you can eat the plastic directly from the shore. no boat required.
  9. had a discussion the other day w/a dude who sees cars as the ultimate form of freedom and see public transportation as the government trying to be everyone's daddy. he contradicted himself many times and i think it's one of those things where if the narrative changes to convince people it's ok to not drive your car everywhere every day and that taking the bus or light rail doesn't make you gay then he'll change his mind but for now he's fixed in the "they will never take our freedom" camp.. even though i pointed out that that freedom is only freedom to sit in traffic and pay for gas/roads/insurance etc when ideally hoping on a train to anywhere and not even having to look at a train schedule because it comes so frequently would be way more 'free'. anyway... here in the states it's an uphill climb just to get people to even consider an option to the current way of living. and sure, there's pockets of resistance or people just doing it their way.. a better way.. a healthier way for themselves and the planet but they're the exception not the rule. waking mainstream americans up to the idea of what a community actually is is going to take sledgehammers... or a big disaster where we all rely on each other.
  10. some really nice stuff in there. gentler ambient note driven pieces too.
  11. this is one of those "people are the worst" vibes for sure. sometimes i think about how i could relocate to somewhere more rural but it's only a passing thought as would be pretty logistically difficult to pull off.
  12. that's a solid tune. especially like those synth chords underneath when they come in in the beginning.
  13. the door to door salesman will be by to knock on your door and when you open will ask "Do you have time to talk about Dedalus?"
  14. i was part of the beta for this and immediately was clear it's special processor w/unique features/sound. currently intro price at $19 and will be $49 once the intro period ends. it's a new company but the collaboration is like DSP allstars who individually make amazing stuff. Maurizio is one of the people who writes the Music and Sound Design with Max series of books. Aqusmatiq Audio was born from the fusion of brain cells of Amazing Noises (Maurizio Giri) and apeSoft (Alessandro Petrolati), joined by the invaluable collaboration of Diego Capoccitti. We develop audio plug-ins: VST3, AU, AAX. https://aqusmatiq.com the pitch tracking combfiltery stuff in this sounds sooooo good. unique character. modulation is deep and the gui is fast. you can modulate the modulators and do all kinds of cool delay tricks. this IG clip (gui hidden because it was still beta) is a drum loop from microtonic going into dedalus with some internal modulation. https://www.instagram.com/p/Cn3jaDgsEp8/ there's a bunch of videos on their site showing the ins and outs of basic use plus some tricks. it's a well featured processor. no brainer at $19 it's available at isotonik studios. https://isotonikstudios.com/product/dedalus-delay-vst-by-aqusmatiq-audio/ youtube playlist.
  15. i remember him well from For Your Eyes Only which is one of the better roger moore led bond films from back then
  16. I haven’t tried it on yet but it looks like an XL for big American. I don’t recall other ae shirts being fitted though. The draft shirt feels heavy. Like someone knitted it or something. Beefy fabric but with a nice feel to it. Fwiw I e always gotten xl from warp/aE and if I’ve ever had an issue it’s the shirt being too short but plenty wide so maybe I was just fatter then.
