what kind of run are you doing right now?
  • Doing my first attempt at a mega base, designing everything myself, doing all the mistakes and trying to correct them. Right now Im just barely running a silo (with 4 beacons) at full time and mining level 21. Yeah, and no biters.

  • It's All Bullshit
  • Employing people just in case they one day innovative something.

  • Synthesis Methods Explained: What Is FM Synthesis?
  • There are so many articles and videos on FM explaining what it is and its history, but I haven't seen any on how to use it. There are lots of algorithms, but it seems its hardly any reason to use one over the other except for where the feedback is (to create subtractive style waves) or the number of carriers. Its a chaos engine, and there are some gold in there, but nobody really knows how to find it.

    If you know any source that gets into an actually useful FM workflow, please share!

  • What is your favorite Liquid album?
  • Metropolis from that album is one of my all time favorite dnb tracks!

  • What is your favorite Liquid album?

    I love listening to liquid while working, and am looking for full albums, not compilations.

    Currently been listening to Identity by Seba a whole lot lately.

    What are some of your favorites?

  • Yeah it was great! Wow it's been a while, 9 years.

  • Pfizer says it will price Covid treatment Paxlovid at nearly $1,400 for a five-day course, which researchers estimate only costs Pfizer $13 to produce. That's a 10,000%+ markup. Shameful.
  • But isnt this just kind of a negotiation price? In reality insurance companies will negotiate and make deals with lower prices, and people will still be covered for the same insurance cost, right?

  • Jupe: Off-grid shelters that pop up anywhere on Earth
  • A very, very expensive tent.

  • Unhopped ale
  • Lokals around here brew a sweet malt beer with no hops. They experiment with smokey flavors for a more whisky kind of taste.

  • Whats a hobby/craft that you wouldn't expect that has an incredibly high ceiling either monetarily or in sheer skill?
  • Absolutely. I love audio design, synthesis and making music, but I have rarely released anything. It took a long time for me to realize and accept that I do this for my own entertainment and not to be a successful musician. Its just a hobby.

  • Also how are the creators supposed to get paid for their work if everything is free?

    People here seem to think ads are just a vile cash grab from google, but in fact most of the ad revenue goes directly to the creators.

  • "Sponsored recommendations": I pay for Spotify Premium, and yet somehow I'm still the product?
  • Why do you hope they die? It's not the next one in lune is going to be any better.

  • Anon has Photoshop class
  • Sure, this can sort of get the job done with somewhat bad results.

    The icons in my case were complex, so a single click with magic wand wound not select all of the parts .

    Expand by 4 blurs the icons at the edges. This is actually pretty bad, and would result in lost detail and a washed out look.

    The operation in gimp is destructive, so tweaking in multiple steps is not really possible, and creates a bad workflow.

    No, Gimp is terrible and not up to the task at all.

  • Anon has Photoshop class
  • Photopea is amazing. Its 90% a clone of PS and is sooo much better than gimp.

    I used it today to remove a white background on some of our icons to get a transparent png.

    It was as easy as going i to the layer options, blend options, and drag the slider. It even has the option that you can hold alt and split the slider in 2 to get transparency blend as a gradient.

    This would be a nightmare in gimp, and photopea does it non destructively. And since its a web app you dont even have to install anything. Amazing.

  • Never a good day when you chip a tooth.
  • It's so cool that P can phone home an image to figure out whats wrong.

    Halp. Are my teeth OK?

  • Skandale at vi ikke har et fungerende tognett med doble linjer fra nord til sør.
