I learned how to model game assets on 3ds max 7 and gmax in 2004 so I have a severely grounded belief that all models need to be optimized for tri count, quads suck, sculpting is for video card box art, and normal maps are a myth that can’t hurt you

Went to go practice piano at one of my usual spots today only to find out I had access to a digital church organ. So I did the only thing I knew how to do and found college curriculum for organ students and figured out which books to print/buy secondhand

I think I've fallen in love with one of the logos that Origin Systems used. This is peak IBM Compatible software house logo or whatever you wanna call the genre

With only one eye I can't imagine how you look! It must be really hard.

I’m looking at this again and all I can see is the arm is a third limb because it already has two wings and the arm is phallic

I'm not depressed, I haven't fallen out of love with my interests, they fell out of love with me!

Midnight class changes look miserable, too much flavor being removed from things. MTG is a trainwreck of external IP. WWE is probably going to be bought by the Saudi government in the next 5 years. It's no wonder I spend so much time studying and going out of my way to interact with people IRL.

I was basically useless for 3 days after mine, with on and off pain for another 2. But vaccines always get me good.

when the AI boom started all the machine learning, pre-made chatbot/phone trees just got rebranded to be called AI. A ton of non-LLM stuff is being called AI now

@r4dian.bsky.social I had no idea what kontakt was so thanks for the free info, very much an outsider to music production still

Me @ library slamming my head into a copy of Music In Theory And Practice Vol. 1: WHY WOULD I EVER NEED TO LEARN FOUR-PART CHORAL VOICE LEADING?!

Me @ cookout being invited to join a choir: I know how to do this I read about it in a book!

I exclusively try to use ChipSynthMD for production but soundfonts when I am trying to block out a general composition. I don't have much experience working with anything else. (Also hi you're one of my fav tracker artists)

ReNoise makes it too easy from what I've seen, it's something I've always been too scared to try though

❄️ @ckdn.bsky.social · 14d

I've wanted natural gray hair since I was like 13. It's been over 20 years and I still only have a couple!

no that is a large city, that is very much a large city. a small town is under 5000 people, please someone back me up here

❄️ @ckdn.bsky.social · 18d

something that has always mystified me is when people refer to 100k+ populations as "small towns"
