- Comment on Okami sequel - Project Teaser Trailer 6 days ago:
Well honestly, I’ve got enough Steam games to last me the rest of my life probably. If I ever really get the urge to play Okami again and it’s still not available here, I’ll explore my yo-ho-ho options. Still, I’d rather throw them the $5 the price regularly gets down to on Steam for the convenience.

Still waiting for the first to be available on PC in Korea. It’s weird. They registered it here, then never released it. No clue why not.

I don’t mind. Fewer choices. It’s only on Epic? It doesn’t exist.
- Comment on "The **Most open** Operating System" 2 weeks ago:
Weird they’re forward thinking enough to let people code oscillators and effects for their synths, but so backwards as to make the software you have to use to get access to those synths horribly out of date and painful to use.

Next time I boot up my pc, all usb devices are mixed again
Oh shit, really?!? I only did it the once to update the firmware on the NTS-3. Whelp! Guess I won’t be coding any LogueSDK anytime soon if I’m not even going to be able to transfer the results to the machine without a huge pile of hassle. Kinda baffling anyone is coding for it.
- Comment on "The **Most open** Operating System" 2 weeks ago:
Haha! No, I understand. I rave about something I like, too, and then immediately feel like a salesperson or something. I’m not a power user exactly, but I can usually figure things out pretty quickly and have no trouble typing commands into a terminal and slinging a little code. I’ll have to look into what kind of audio people are doing in Linux and see where it takes me.
- Comment on "The **Most open** Operating System" 2 weeks ago:
Haha! I was not prepared. I got an NTS-3 recently, and Korg’s own software wouldn’t recognize it if it wasn’t in the first ten MIDI devices in Windows. I had to delete MIDI devices until it got low enough on the list. The 10-MIDI device limit hasn’t been a thing for, uhh, decades? I was planning on coding some LogueSDK, but the initial experience has killed almost all desire I have to do that anymore.
- Comment on "The **Most open** Operating System" 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, it’s pretty stupid my machine isn’t capable of running 11. It’s a fairly modern machine. AMD 5600X, RTX 3080. 32gb of RAM. I guess it might just be some bios setting I’d need to change to make it compatible, but I have heard precisely nothing about 11 that makes me want to actually do that. Hopefully Microsoft will follow their trend and 12 will actually be good. I doubt it, though.
- Comment on "The **Most open** Operating System" 2 weeks ago:
Well, the PC isn’t used only as a DAW, so I might still need Linux as opposed to FreeBSD. I’ve been running some form of Linux for a long time, now. I’ve never tried FreeBSD. Don’t even know what it is, actually.
- Comment on "The **Most open** Operating System" 2 weeks ago:
Reaper is my DAW of choice, actually. I haven’t tried it in Linux, though.
- Comment on "The **Most open** Operating System" 2 weeks ago:
I’ve got an Oxi One and go “DAWless” occasionally, but I find it very limiting compared to what can be done in a DAW. I just have to hope Reaper works well in Linux. MIDI routing and what-not is pretty fickle with some of my hardware, now. (Not to mention some software that doesn’t work at all in Linux, like Korg’s dinosaurific software used to edit NTS-3 settings and patches.) It’s a bit terrifying to think what’s going to happen with an entirely new OS.
- Comment on "The **Most open** Operating System" 3 weeks ago:
I had just hit the button on a recording session last night, and a fucking full page “ARE YOU PREPARED FOR THE EOL OF WINDOWS 10!!” (paraphrased) popped up over my DAW. Yeah, I’m prepared alright Microsoft. I’ve got a flash drive with Linux ready to install if you keep pulling shit like this. It’s going to suck because a lot of audio software developers are garbage with Linux support, but if Windows is just as garbage, there’s no reason not to migrate.

Hmm. I made no effort to advertise at all. I came during the Rexodus last year after the API kerfuffle. Initially, it seemed promising, and I didn’t think I’d need to, but activity died down quite quickly. I’ve never moderated a community before or anything like that. I certainly don’t want to it to become a full time job. I have enough of those.

To everyone saying that someone has already said what they want to say: post anyway. You’d be surprised how significant tiny differences in perspective can be.
- Comment on Stop whining. Do it yourself. 1 month ago:
I did. There’s almost zero engagement. My most popular thread is a meta narrative about me being in there talking to myself. There were at least two other attempts that are even more inactive. Not enough of y’all are into synthesizers.

There’s a Julia Donaldson - Axel Scheffler children’s book called “Charlie Cook’s Favorite Book” in which the sound a frog makes is “reddit”.

I think you’ll notice both of those places have very low birth rates these days. Almost like people don’t enjoy being crammed in like sardines and having to compete in the workplace like rats fighting over the last rotting morsels.
- Comment on Alien: Romulus is getting a VHS release 1 month ago:
I’m sick of this magnetic tape revival! It’s happening in music, too. People releasing cassettes again. It was good for its time, yes, but it’s a shitty, failure prone medium.

Mine still exists, but no one posts there much. Including me. lemm.ee/c/synthesizers
- Comment on Is Lemmy an effective alternative to Reddit? 2 months ago:
Not for science fiction literature, guitar pedals, and synthesizers which was primarily what I went to Reddit for in the first place. There was some effort to get those communities going here back during the mass migration here from Reddit, but they’ve never really thrived. It sucks, but I’m not going back. I take a peek at r/synthesizers on occasion, and really it’s just a gaggle of self-promoting synthtubers and umpteen iterations of “what should I buy?”.

Tee hee hee.
- Comment on Last channel rule 2 months ago:
In Canada, we had “Bleu Nuit”. It was on at 2am, Saturday night, and played racy French movies. The only problem was the movies ran the gamut from full softcore porn to maybe a single shot with boobies somewhere in the middle. You took your chances. I swear there was one that didn’t even show anything (but probably talked about sex. Dunno, I don’t speak much French.)
- Comment on Anon browses ancient memes 2 months ago:
60s-70s rock is pretty darn good, but like you say, there are a lot of people who think music begins and ends there. They’re so wrong.
- Comment on Anon browses ancient memes 2 months ago:
Yeah, for every Pearl Jam, Nirvana, or Soundgarden, there was a Counting Crows, Bush, or Ben Folds Five. Not to mention the boy bands that absolutely dominated the late 90s charts.
- Comment on Anon browses ancient memes 2 months ago:
This is most evident when it comes to music. I see loads of older musicians, producers, and listeners constantly trashing new music, when the reality is there is loads of great, new music coming into existence regularly. It’s just harder to find since the tools are so accessible now, everyone and his dog can make a “professional” sounding recording. And then, the top 40 or whatever has always just been the lowest common denominator.

It’s not supposed to do anything. It is literally a “tap” on the screen.

Because, like many, you can’t remember the name of that game, but just about everyone knows about Palworld.
- Comment on What are your favorite racing games? 2 months ago:
I generally hate racing games. The one I do remember playing a lot was 1990’s Stunts. It was an early polygonal game. You could make your own tracks. It’s was pretty ahead of its time.
