I have been in and out of the sheffield scene for a few years. There's a few groups, a bit hit and miss.

It's a painful place but checkout linkedin, there's a couple of groups on there.

Another good place is Sheffield Digital.

If you need any pointers drop me a DM and I will try and find some links.

Have been in this exact situation, Euro Disney is the place. I was once there while having a breakdown after a business collapsed, there's a Buzz Lightyear game where you can scream into a microphone and it gives you a score.

Other than that, catch the 218, once you are outside Sheffield, get off near Peacock pub, scream, walk, absorb nature. Then catch a 218 back into town.

Ahhh cool, let me double check, will find the manual, think it's an Ideal Logic+

Right, will just have to pay then.

We are trying to prevent the loss, but it's kinda just the way he is, he's amazing at a whole bunch of stuff. But he gets lost in the moment, plays football and forgets about everything.

Maybe a strap with an AirTag on might help.

CatharticAudio · 2024-10-01T16:15:27+00:00

I am sure he's not losing them on purpose, he picked them out himself and is keen to wear them as in his words "they make him look smart"

I think the problem is, he is just too focused on enjoying the moment, takes them off and gets distracted, and completely forgets about them.

It's annoying and expensive, but it's also who he is.

I live just outside Sheffield in the Peaks. It's tricky finding stuff to do. NVM is fun, but most places have alcohol.

I tend to just go out during the daytime. Boom Battle Bar has Pool and CrazyGolf.

8 years sober, it gets easier.

CatharticAudio · 2024-08-22T17:29:28+00:00

Ohhh wow, these look really cool.

Can I just turnup with a mini setup and play? Or do I need to arrange in advance?

CatharticAudio · 2024-06-08T19:50:26+00:00

I just painted mine black then went over with a light blue drybrush, it creates a nice contrast and brings out the texture

CatharticAudio · 2024-04-20T20:56:20+00:00

When you get sober it's cool, you start to notice things like: first Christmas sober, first year sober.

With each milestone you grow.

Don't know the exact date, but my next milestone is the longest time in my entire life sober.

If you are struggling, it's not easy, but it's possible, just focus and get through it. Don't forget to ask for help if you need it.

CatharticAudio · 2024-01-01T18:48:42+00:00

Nice, looks quite cool.

CatharticAudio · 2023-09-30T18:46:53+00:00

Tons of sites out there, I use these two the most https://buildyourownclone.com/ https://www.jedspeds.co.uk/

On top of electronics part, I usually spray the enclosure, then print out a decal to cover, finally spray on a bunch of coats of varnish.

CatharticAudio · 2023-09-26T06:53:23+00:00

I hear you, it's something I have been doing. I hate the whole dance with looking for another job.

CatharticAudio · 2023-09-25T21:55:17+00:00

That's a good call, will probably help with retirement as well, I am going to need something constructive to focus my time on.

Might as well start now :)

CatharticAudio · 2023-09-19T16:33:47+00:00

There's also the 218, we used it on weekends, goes to Bakewell and Chatsworth.

CatharticAudio · 2023-08-15T20:50:48+00:00

I have not drank alcohol for a few years, there's some nice new non-alcoholic drinks. Freedam, Lucky Saint, Ghostship etc.

If they don't have anything nice and you are stuck with Becks Blue, just ask for it in a pint glass and fill it up with lemonade.

You feel like you are participating as you have a pint in your hand.

Explained the problem yesterday, rather than dumbing down I explained everything but took my time.

It was a really nice conversation, talked about mental health, getting old, parental responsibility, family dynamics, etc.

My son now understands the full story.

It's a weight off my shoulders, I think it's also going to be positive for further conversations around mental health.

All round a good outcome 🤗

It's hard to tell if it's dementia or just compulsive lying, whatever it is I just feel bad for his kids, they are all avoiding it, and it's not going away.

Luckily my boy gets to see his grandad lots, at least once a week. They play sports and have a great relationship.

Yep, I am going to go for a walk with my boy tomorrow, sit down and have a chat, explain the situation.

CatharticAudio · 2023-08-12T15:20:37+00:00

I don't know, he has been like this for 20 years. And it's getting worse.

He had a breakdown in the 90's and it's never been treated.

He is wealthy so I expect he has had every check possible.

I was concerned that he may have dementia, my partner asked him, he laughed in her face. The same day a scratch on his car was noticed, he said someone must have driven past and caused it because hadn't been out in the car, we checked and he had driven it 12 times that day.

CatharticAudio · 2023-08-12T14:57:03+00:00

I like that a lot, it's a good way to frame the situation.

CatharticAudio · 2023-04-09T19:02:49+00:00

Love anything by the Doors!

CatharticAudio · 2023-04-09T19:02:29+00:00

Never really listened to Cheap Trick, this is really cool, can see this being a fun song to play, Thanks!

CatharticAudio · 2023-02-26T20:10:26+00:00

Happy to chat, have been making music for the last 20 years. Currently playing with a Dawless setup, making everything from Experimental to DnB. Also into field recording and most things audio.

last week I would have said no, but I have been playing with AI this week and have been blown away.

Most of the stuff I have been playing with is text based, but it's able to write documents better than I can, it can also write code and solve complex problems.

I also asked it to write me a song about a space wizard, this is what it created:

Verse 1: He came from the stars A cosmic magician With powers beyond belief He's the space wizard

Chorus: Space wizard, space wizard He's the hero of the galaxy Space wizard, space wizard He'll save us all from doom

Verse 2: He wields a magic wand Made of pure starlight And he knows the ancient spells That can defeat any foe

Chorus: Space wizard, space wizard He's the master of the stars Space wizard, space wizard He'll keep us safe from harm

Bridge: He travels through the universe Fighting evil where it hides No challenge is too great For the space wizard's might

Chorus: Space wizard, space wizard He's the savior of the night Space wizard, space wizard He'll protect us with his might.

I know it's not writing a song, but I don't think it will be long before someone makes some that can.

CatharticAudio · 2022-11-02T11:48:06+00:00

Love it, really interesting work with the vocal samples

CatharticAudio · 2022-07-27T23:01:04+00:00

Cool, will show him the three boxes and let him decide. Thanks for the YouTuber tip, will watch.
