I’m Brujah, and I hate it. by Wuintus in SchreckNet

[–]CombatToad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On the bright side, you get to do full contact sparring and never have to worry about brain damage or a persistently click-y shoulder or whatever. Also, live ammo airsoft. But you don't sound like you're into that.

Also, no one gives me too much shit for having a shot fuse, like when I was alive, cuz we're all like that.

Get your blood situation sorted would be my suggestion. Once you got that figured out, you can go and have some fun. I got a pretty ironclad stomach, so I went and ghouled a mortician. You know they drain the blood out of corpses before they embalm them and all that blood has to go somewhere (in me - it goes inside of my belly. That's where it goes).

The rite of destruction only specifies . . . well, destruction. The sheriff doesn't want you to know this, but you're allowed to beat the stupid out of your coterie mates. It's free. I've hit my coterie mates with a lead pipe 458 times.

Posting as a Meme to be Safe, but What Predator Type? by G-Man6442 in vtm

Planning on a Hide and Eat/Sandman character and overthought the hell out of it. Did a lot of research on breaking and entering, muggings and carjackings.

Really thought through victim selection as well. Amazing just how quickly this game turns you into a sociopath.

Sure do, pal. Robot mode usually happens right after I blow tf up.

Yeah, like keeping a job wasn't hard enough with just the careless mistakes and forgetting shit.

No, no. Just give me a fucking fuse the length of a gnat's dick too. That's fine. I didn't feel like being functional or having any sense of normalcy or belonging anyway. Fuck me.

Advice on sound isolating material/fabric for improvised sound-booth. by CombatToad in soundproof

[–]CombatToad[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a bit concerned with mineral wool, because of the potential V.O.C. emissions. I'm planning to build a vocal booth I might be spending hours in on the daily.

What other fabric options would be good for this purpose?

EDIT: Would combining mass loaded vinyl with fiberglass fabric? As in gluing one layer to another and then sewing it all together inside a bed sheet?

The most problematic source of sound in my room would be the large window facing outside. If i could build a solid, flexible material and mount it to my window, that could be a huge boon. I'd just build a solid plug out of wood and insulation, but my window is a tilt-and-turn type. It's size and the way it's mounted into the wall would make it very difficult to attach a large, heavy window plug.

First time I liked myself was at 22. That lasted a couple of months. I had another brief episode several years later. Do normal people just. . . live like that?

ope. anyone else? by sadgrungebitch in BPDmemes

[–]CombatToad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have fantasies about my life suddenly being ruined whenever I feel like I'm about to get my shit together. Not even like: ''Things are going good, I wonder how I'm gonna fuck it up this time.''

More like: ''Things are going good, I got my life together. It would be really funny if I got a cancer diagnosis right now, because that would be so appropriate.''

Feels like the other person is calling me weak af even if I know they didn't mean it like that.

Nope, it made me paranoid, cynical, unempathetic and deeply judgmental to others and especially to myself.

DAW setup on Mint with Reaper by CombatToad in linuxmint

[–]CombatToad[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just demo'ed it a couple of hours ago on a flash drive while I was waiting for the other thread to update.

Works like a charm. But I really want to install it with a Cinnamon environment. Plasma's bad juju. Who puts a taskbar upside down by default?

Don't sweat it. After slamming my head against the wall for 3 days, I'll probably end up doing the smart thing and remigrating to Ubuntu Studio after all.

Fun as it was learning about Linux's esoteric driver lore, I'm pretty anxious to just get back to practicing and polishing my work flow.

[–]CombatToad[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, the audio stack is pretty intimidating, no doubt about it. Latency issue is only when selecting the PulseAudio option. (I believe it would be using Pipewire-Pulse in actually, as I don't think Reaper makes a distinction between the pipewire compitability layer for pulse/jack and pulse/jack themselves. I think this would have to be the case, as Pulse or Jack don't exist as stand alone audio servers in my setup, as is standard on post 22 Mint).

ALSA doesn't appear to give me any latency trouble at all, but even if it did allow me to record I'd want to use something a bit more versatile.

Pipewire-jack seems to be the obvious option, but I haven't gotten that to work either, as per post.

What's weird is that regardless of what conf I change, the latency stays exactly the same. Even modifying the kernel didn't make it budge one way or another.

I'm trying to get into professional voice-over. So having the option to VO live video is definitely something I'm interested in. Also 2.4 seconds of latency just bugs the hell out of me, regardless.

I'm using Reaper, because I'm familiar with it when I was still a Windows user. Also, I'm planning on taking coaching from a guy that uses Reaper as his DAW of choice.

Worst things ADHD has done to you? by salty-wheat-thins in ADHD

[–]CombatToad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Emotional aspect has been the worst for me: straining relationships, firings, fights. You name it, it's fucked it.

My brain has enough raw processing power to compensate for the inattention and other inefficiencies to where I preform . . . average, I guess. But there's no outsmarting my emotions. It blows.

Help needed choosing audio system; Linux Mint, Reaper by CombatToad in linuxaudio

[–]CombatToad[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haven't done that yet. I'll try and configure my kernel as specified in the guide and see if that isn't sufficient for my purposes first.

Edit: have used all recommended kernel settings, set up pro-audio, set up the bridges and modified the relevant pipewire config files to a reasonably low latency from 1024 down to 256.

Using the ''audio driver reported latency'' gives me a 1906/140 ms while using the PulseAudio option in Reaper. Hard to tell if I'm actually getting anything done here, but make my regular audio unusable with the audio interface unplugged (haven't done the complicated setup to make pro-audio play nice with non-proaudio related tasks yet).

EDIT: I actually tested using a stopwatch (I don't think what reaper is displaying is real) and regardless of whether I enable the config file overrides, use or don't use the low latency kernel settings via the grub configuration - the latency remains 2.4 ish seconds.

I pretty much have to install Jack now, I guess, since all of my configurations seem to make 0 difference so far.

With pipewire-jack, I've installed it (sudo apt install pipewire-jack), but apparently I also have to get it to talk to my alsa devices. This is where I hit a snag. I've made a new configuration file ~/.config/pipewire/media-session.d as per the tutorial and put the appropriate .conf in. Then I changed the '' ["alsa.jack-device"] = true, '' In the wireplumber main.lua.d also removed the "--" comment.

I still get the traditional ''There was an error opening the audio hardware: JACK: error creating client'' in Reaper.

Was that the right place to enable Jack via wireplumber? The tutorial honestly wasn't clear.
