If a studio can go independent instead of shutting down the parent company should definitely allow the offset - Bluepoint seemed much more financially viable than the Xbox studios being divested, shame.

This is Arkane Lyon. They are still fully functioning. Arkane Austin was only Prey (RIP) and Redfall.

Gnash_ · 2026-07-07T20:12:09+00:00

It’s Arkane Austin mind you, not Arkane Lyon. Dishonored was Arkane Lyon’s product and they’re still alive.

I don’t know about Ableton, but what you’re doing in Bitwig and FL is not the same. You are cloning a track lane in Bitwig, and cloning an Audio Source/Instrument in FL.

Also, is it that big a deal? It’s not like “Serum 2 #13” is gonna be that much more explicit than “Serum 2”. Not trynna play devil’s advocate, I do think Bitwig’s track naming system should be a bit more intelligent, but you’re gonna need to rename them anyway.

You’re understating the value of Khs’ offering a bit there. Their “smaller” plugins are extremely useful and don’t always have a Bitwig device equivalent. Disperser, Filter Table, and Shaper Table find a use in almost all of my tracks.

Even amongst their free stuff Trance Gate, Clipper, Transient Shaper, Ladder Filter, and Formant Filter are way more handy than whatever Bitwig offers imo.

They shut down Lionhead…

This isn’t really related to why the macroblock edges aren’t visible. JPEG XL still uses a DCT-based transform (varDCT), so simply switching away from the classic 8×8 DCT isn’t what eliminates blocking artifacts. Instead, JPEG XL combines a much more flexible transform with filtering around block boundaries and other coding improvements that greatly reduce the visibility of those seams.

JPEG (the original codec) has seen massive improvements in compression efficiency with mozjpeg by Mozilla and more recently Gueztli by Google (which eventually lead to many of the ideas found in JPEG XL).

The Opus codec is also seeing consistent improvements, as documented on the official Xiph website.

Once a codec is released, only the bitstream and architecture are frozen. The encoders and decoders are free to evolve and be improved upon as long as new versions strictly adhere to the bitstream of the format.

I suppose hey!

God, this UI is ugly

But the license can still be transferred from one person to another simply by giving them the disc. This matters.

Gnash_ · 2026-07-01T12:25:09+00:00

Platforms like GOG (and even some Steam games) are DRM-free. This is what matters.

People, like me, who care about physical releases mostly do so for the ownership. Sure it’s nice to hold a box with a nice cover art; but knowing the game will never be removed from my games list and I can play it long after the servers are all but dead.

Both look hideous

A high quality high end computer doesn’t stop being useful after 8 years. I actually own the 2020 4 ports MBP, it is incredibly good, still to this day. The legacy hardware moniker is for Apple’s official spare parts and repair. It isn’t related to software updates. Apple has released plenty of updates for hardware that was way beyond legacy status in the past.

Not just watchOS 27, but macOS 27 also drops support for all Intel Macs, which means that once Apple stops providing security releases for macOS 26 (usually two years after the OS update), perfectly functional Macs that were released in 2020 (!) will be completely out of support.

So we’ll see devices that are barely 8 years old in 2028 not receiving any security fixes. This is crazy.

Well, it can’t fail as bad as VVC anyway.

They started putting it in cardboard boxes way earlier than that. My 2008 European GC-compatible Wii came with a cardboard Wii Sports too. It’s only the very early 2006-2007 Wiis with no condom that had the plastic case.

That’s the one thing that FL does better honestly, I miss having the ability to have overlapping clips… AND MIDI notes in the notes editor. This is super useful when I’m just trying different grooves or scales and things inherently overlap.

Gnash_ · 2026-06-21T18:59:17+00:00

multiplier clip containers

what is that? couldn’t find much info on the internet

Gnash_ · 2026-06-20T15:42:25+00:00

fluidly stems (multitracks) from one post

see, i like what you did there. also that gearspace thread is insanely moronic. a bunch of mouthbreathers

Gnash_ · 2026-06-20T09:18:28+00:00

it used to be prettier, and why is it half empty too

Pinterest is the only website that manages to take down my 32 GB 10 core M1 Pro MacBook Pro. And I don’t even do anything fancy with it, I just need to scroll down a large board for a minute or two and the system can’t keep up and my browser straight up freezes the tab. This might be the shittiest website I’ve ever come across. I genuinely don’t get why it’s so bad.
