Hey. Yeah you. No don’t look over your shoulder. I’m not talking to the guy behind you. Look, we’ve been meaning to tell you that you’re doing a pretty good job out there. Proud of you. Keep up the good work.
Here is my music resume:
Awesome sounds good!
Ooof it can get pretty techy. Once you get it set up you likely won’t have to mess with it again though.
I’ve done that set up many times, so if you want help I’m happy to answer questions.
I use a pipewire w/ qjackctl to connect Ardour to my speakers and midi keyboard. I do this on fedora Linux.
Definitely watch some gameplay. The super early game is quite self explanatory, but noita quickly escalates to puzzles so hard a community needs to get together to solve them.
Playing Noita with all the knowledge of the wider community has made so many cool bosses actually beatable, and made the whole game a lot more fun for me.
Sorta, but it neglects to mention the bottlenecks where power concentrates. There are really only 3 companies in the US that manage retirement funds, and they all own a decent bit of each other.
Also 90% of stock is owned by the top 10% of Americans, so average folks retirement funds don’t have the power you might naively assume they do.
Its great! It will not hesitate to kill you until you learn it.
Binding of Isaac has a bit of invincibility after every hit, and that works for the game really well. You need to be able to recover and not die immediately.
Noita has no invincibility frames like that. You need to be able to die immediately. An instant death is essential for the game tone and balance.
Surge XT can do 98% of everything I need. It has a ton of waveforms, filter types, and modulation options. It’s a great synth.
In the rare case that SurgeXT can’t do what I want, I turn to zynaddsubfx. It is complicated, but really one of the wildest synths out there.
Last resort is this open source fork of VCV rack I found. So at the end of the day if you need to you can just build the synth you need.
Noita!: I agree with many in dubbing it my favorite single player game.
It is a pixel art alechemy and magic roguelike where every pixel is physically simulated and destroyable. Find spells and wands and combine them in programmer like ways to multiply their power. Many tricks in the game are so strong they feel like cheating, but the game has been built with challenges that surpass every trick.
It is the epitome of endlessly repayable. Especially switching between the few mods that drastically change the map.
I can easily have a god run last me 5-10 hours. But I still have a lot of fun with the more common 30min-2hr runs.
God tier game. I’ve never even been close to beating it.
Here is my software set up for open source music making (I often use midi and audio input):
Core software:
For SFZ instruments:
Raw samples:
For effects:
Ardour is supposed to have a midi related update for its next big release, so stay tuned.
From my perspective, the simplest set up would be Ardour and SFZ instruments. Mainly because I’m quite used to those two.
For set up you’d just open Ardour, make a new midi track, place liquidsfz as the first plugin on the track, then open liquidsfz and browse to the SFZ file you want to use.
Then you just draw in the midi notes you want using either the edit or draw tool.
I cannot belive you have this many
Self defense can apply to systems. Insurance for example. From what I understand United Health Care did change some policies because of Luigi.
I feel the effort homie.
Keep em coming
That was way more explosive than I expected.
If anyone else see this can they explain how wanting voting day to be a national holiday before juneteenth is so touchy?
Like having voting day off would be a tangible benefit to everyone, especially any folks that live paycheck to paycheck or have more abusive employers. It would literally swing our politics in the favor of our most vulnerable.
To me juneteenth is important, but more in a historic and emotional sense. Which is cool, but like if we were gonna do just one I’d pick the one that helps the most folks.
Well for me I guess I would’ve liked voting day to be a holiday before we got to any others. It felt like a vibey culture war win rather than actual progress.
But like it is a thing worth celebrating. Much better than Columbus day lol.
Glad you like them!!!
For most shareholders in most businesses, the risk is that you are no longer as rich as your peers.
Most US households can’t weather a $1000 unexpected expense without going into debt.
To be real, capital gains are the definition of inequality. It is making money by having enough money to own something. There is no other economic force that drives inequality more.
Small business is a decent minority of US employers. It can’t be ignored, but it is the unlikely case when sampling by employee or just by random citizen.
At most an owner can be reimbursed for their costs of starting the business. Past that I don’t see any reason to give them a special share of the profits. Even that feels generous given how unequal we are, and that fact that having the money to start a business means you are likely more privileged than your employees.
