    • Give subscribers a subscriber-only reaction-emoticon and/or subscriber-only reply-emoticon.

    This is honestly such a great idea and a good incentive for people to renew their subscription imo. Another way would be to show how many years in a row people subscribed or something like that. It is impressive how it keeps people engaged with streamers for example.

  2. Yes this track is awesome, the hardest part now is trying not to overplay it before album's release haha.

    I also think it just sounds better than most of his output the past few years? More punchy than be up a hello (which I genuinely loved)

    it does! and at a strong price, for the right person this looks like a great thing. kinda doing what OP-Z wanted to do with the graphical aspect.

    It also looks more robust, less fragile than the OP-Z (I am still holding a grudge against TE for the poor build quality of OPZ). Seqtrack got me hyped (as most grooveboxes do if I'm being honest), I really like the all-out design they chose.

    I flaked on this, but I did get all my gear set up, and started to build a solid base template for future endeavours. Got my sights set on the rpm challenge instead. Did anyone actually get into it this year?

    Managed to do the first two weeks with some sketchy tracks. No inspiration at all for this week, I hope that the portability of the tracker mini will help me writing one or two patterns tonight while being half asleep on my couch lol.

     

    Edit : I think the community is really helping and supportive which helps at lot feeling commited to the whole thing imho

  5. Got Pam's Pro Workout + Steady State Gate. The former is even more powerful and fun to use than I expected, and the latter just sounds amazing (it's basically a low pass gate with wavefolding + saturation capacities, i.e., one module to cover three functions that I was looking for in Eurorack).

    Next steps will be another VCA (probably Persephone for that "no-click" thru zero function, it would be a nice addition given my usual music style), a logic module (thinking of Befaco Rampage rather than Maths for this), and vpme.de QD to fulfill all of my drums-related needs. I am already having a ton of fun, but I definitely can see why people have such a hard time trying to limit their expenses on Eurorack modules lol

  6. Listening to the album after a longer hiatus. Strong tracks sound even stronger, and weak tracks even weaker. The Body Trail amazes me everytime.

    Again nevertheless seems to have fallen in WATMM's oblivion, might be OPN least discussed album on the board :shrug:

    (nobody even linked the Nightmare Paint music video ?)

    Spoiler

  7. Nice! Could not take part in the 2022 edition (not even sure it ever existed?) but I was hoping they would come back in 2024. In 2020 I was surprised how it helped me taking time to make music, despite a heavy workload at that time...

    Well 4 years later work is even harder for me but I will give it a shot. Will also gladly take part in a WATMM motivational group haha.

    Been playing through Tunic. I was cruising through it, then faced a huge difficulty spike in facing the Boss Scavenger. Took like two hours of trying to beat him.

    Yes!! This one was awful to beat. When I played it I really did not expect Tunic to give me souls-like boss battles haha

  9. Being a strong woman ending a relationship with an arsehole isn't being woke FFS.

    Anyway I am playing Risk of Rain Return. Forgot how hard it was (or, how bad I was at this game). I am however having a hard time going through the game, because I think it is quite woke (mostly because some characters are actually women ???? With crossbows ???? also : rainbow colored monsters.....give me my 15$ back Nintendo pls)

  10. As always I am flabbergasted by the amount of new music people here explore each year. I guess I'm mostly focused on older stuff...

    Anyway my 2023 music charts go something like this :

    • Ae Live 22 (of course)
    • KNOWER - KNOWER FOREVER (awesome album)
    • OPN - Again
    • Gorillaz - Cracker Island (might be their best since Plastic Beach)
    • Actress - LXXXVIII

    Honorable mentions :

    • Blur - The Ballad of Darren (very solid album, couldn't find the willpower to go back at it after they cancelled the show I was supposed to go to)
    • Aphex Twin - Blackbox Recorder (incredible tracks, the best thing was probably the WATMM hype surrounding it anyway haha)
    • Death Dynamic Shroud - Keys to the Gate

  11. Just finished 13 Sentinels : Aegis Rim on Switch. A mix between visual-novel and strategy-RPG where you follow a very rich sci-fi story (sometimes too rich actually, because it is very fragmented across the 13 protagonists' storylines), and have to fight battles in between chapters. Definitely not your typical teenagers-who-fight-in-mechas anime, I highly recommend it ! The story itself is probably one of the best sci-fi scenarios I experienced.

    That was a very good interview with Fantano. How can you not be charmed by that ol' mensch Lopatin? I must admit that I'm having a hard time understanding the video release surrounding "Memories of Music". The "40% battery life" subtitle hints at it really being an unfinished/sketched out scenario and I sifted through all the .zip file contents. There is a MIDI file for Van Halen's "Eruption" solo in it that is hilarious. Maybe my DAW settings were off but the tempo was juiced to hell and it sounded like flatpicking bluegrass in the style of Bill Monroe hahaha. 

    Isn't it the guitar solo he sings over his own song during the album commentary episode of his podcast? That moment was fun, he sounded quite high haha.

    Gave the album a listen tonight after putting it aside for a few days and it sounds even better imho. Also managed to snatch a vinyl copy of it and I'm really happy.
