I know this is a meme, but the only service I’ve found that doesn’t follow this exact pattern is MUBI. Too bad piracy is way more convenient than that, anyway.

A Confederacy of Dunces, maybe?

Fun fact: with yesterday’s match, Messi has also become the player with the most mistaken penalty kicks (3) in the history of the World Cup.

Yeah than you are definitely out of your depth with something as complex as VCV lol. And btw hardware is quite cheap anyway, it all depends on what you want to do with it: Behringer makes some excellent entry-level synths that aren’t too overpriced. The KORG Volca series, while looking like toys, are indeed powerful instruments. I’d recommend you get your hands dirty on something real first!

Do you nave any knowledge on how synthezisers work? If not, VCV isn’t the best place to fiddle because the quantity of options can soon feel overwhelming. If you do, my best advice is to fuck around. Start with just a couple of components, maybe following the flowchain of a synthesizer you like. E.g. Minimoog: one or two oscs, one LFO, one mixer, some filters, output. Try out what you want to do and reverse engineer what isn’t working and why.

The anglocentric bias is ever stronger on the internet. And I say that as a Tolkien fan: in no way he is worthy of a Nobel prize.

Narcissistic Tortilla Chip.

Never watched Buffy but anything that’s been flogged to death by Marvel movies, yes.

• Netflix lighting
• Generic, Zimmer-stolen OST
• Franchises
• Standard blocking
• Overexposition
• Whedonisms
• More broadly, anything that’s been big budget Hollywood for the last 30 years or so.

Listening to Dopesmoker is antithetical to any kind of speedrun, I think.

I should pick Silskong back up. Stuck in the Karak Sands area.

Hawk tuah

About to 5 since I’m pulling an April’s fools joke on my student. Suckerssss!

It looks nice, but it’s still generations behind in terms of what a studio that big and with that much money should be able to do in such a long development time. I’d rather have them keep it small and simple but improve on a lot of QoL stuff than try fancy things that are prone to break and be forgotten easily.

Best high-on-heroine-but-also-kinda-sad-because-my-gf-left-me-for-the-Verve-dude album of all time.

To be fair, that sounds like a secondary title for most of the books I love. I might have a problem.

I mean yeah, I understand the shooting and crying angle of it all. But still. The film exists, and it documents pretty much verbatim what happened. It’s not to be taken for granted, especially coming from an Israeli director.

How is Waltz with Bashir libslop? It’s a pretty firm condemnation of what happened at Shabra and Shatila, isn’t it?

Too bad they seem to have steered towards some sort of wacky kozmic-death hybrid that doesn’t really work. This, in my opinion, is a masterpiece and one of the best metal albums of the decade.

Playing Silksong. Knee-deep in act 2, or at least I think I am. I’m starting to see a lot of similarities between this game and Bloodborne (Team Cherry have never been afraid of saying how much they love FromSoft games, isn’t it?)
