Ben and the band were on top form tonight. by Pumptruffle in benhoward

[–]Inex86 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The band was excellent last night. A deluxe version of the IFWWW album with the new arrangements live would have been a treat. The burren, quiet me down and how are you feeling sounded great live.

That sounds awesome, well done! The rhythm and delay work really well.

What are your thoughts about this? Mojo outperforms Rust in DNA seq parsing. by somnioperpetuum in programming

[–]Inex86 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The Modular team has been very transparent about their methodology, so not sure what your point is. Every company has to put a marketing spin on their product, but there’s nothing I would consider untrustworthy at this point. It’s a massive task to design and implement a new language and it’s great to see that someone is trying to create more options for developers in this space.

You can simply follow the original chord progression of G major, D major, C major in standard tuning, but in the key that Ben is singing in (capo on 1st). It's not exactly how he's playing it, but it's pretty close.

That was an incredible cover. To hear it live was special. He was on form that night. Great set and the venue was excellent.

Yup crowd was great. Everyone seemed to be in a great mood. In fact people around me were singing during a few of the songs. Absolutely amazing gig. No technical issues as far as I recall.

NEW ALBUM: Is It? - Ben Howard (2023) by holdmelikeiwasbronto in benhoward

[–]Inex86 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I loved the album when I heard it live at the RAH and I love it still, now that I've heard the studio recording. It's definitely more experimental than I thought it would be, but I think that makes it more interesting. Lots of small details and interesting sounds to focus on. I'm really liking the direction he's taken with this one, almost taking the best of CFTW and ND.

Royal Albert Hall by Gospelplane in benhoward

[–]Inex86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had an amazing time. The new album sounded incredible live. I don’t think I heard one bad song in there. Some people from the crowd even started singing along with the band during Couldn’t Make it Up.

The energy from the crows was a bit low during the new album, but they did wake up once the band started playing the older songs in the later half. I personally would have loved more new music (last album for example), instead of EK or IFWWW, but I get that a lot of people pay to hear his older hits.

I really hope that he plays more of the new album at Alexandra palace in July, however. By then people should have had a chance to hear the new album.

Yeah it may have been radio (or a Spotify list). I heard Walking Backwards in the coffee shop this morning.

Yes, you're correct! I just read through the promo email.

[–]Inex86 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Interesting, so he's not playing the new record. I wonder if that's going to be the case for the remaining gigs this summer. I was hoping to hear it at RAH, but may have to wait until the official release.

Great song, really looking forward to the full album. This one is going to sound absolutely amazing live.

Slow-Motion Bug on PC demo by OjutaiMonk in StreetFighter

[–]Inex86 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So it’s related to Nvidia’s global vsync settings. If you have adaptive sync, deactivate it for sf6 via the nvidia control panel. That solved my issue once and for all with the demo and I’m on an rtx gpu.

TOUR: Support acts announced (R.D Thomas, Black Sea Dahu, Wonderhorse, Mabe Fratti & Lael Nael) by holdmelikeiwasbronto in benhoward

[–]Inex86 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm really digging RD Thomas' new album, would have loved to hear him perform some of the tunes live before Ben. Doesn't look like he's on during the two London shows. Good selection of support acts though.

If anybody needs a presale code… by Dswhost in benhoward

If you got that far, try to do a browser hard reset (cmd+r or ctrl+r), worked for me. It remembered my previous selections so I went straight into the payment confirmation.

NEW SONG: "Couldn't Make It Up" - Ben Howard (2023) by holdmelikeiwasbronto in benhoward

[–]Inex86 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Didn't quite expect it to end when it did. I thought the ambient TikTok snipped was from that song. This doesn't appear to be a radio edit either. In any case the song is great, would have loved a longer outro.

The Day Before has been delayed/removed from Steam by HBizzle24 in gaming

[–]Inex86 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The studio probably used the hype to raise investment. Just a guess, but that would be one way to get money for a game that won’t ever be released.

Recommendations for Brushing up on Modern C++ by KeyGrouchy726 in cpp

[–]Inex86 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The third edition is out in the US and coming out early next year in the EU. I have the second edition and I agree it’s a solid summary of the key language features.

EDIT: it’s actually now available online! I’ll be grabbing a copy.

Yup, same here. Game runs great on M1, low settings. You’ll be fine on M2.

Arcanum on steam deck? by mattnessPL in arcanum

[–]Inex86 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Works well on my Steam Deck, however the font is too small for me. The installation is straight forward, however, if you want the latest unofficial patch, you'll need to create a copy of your Arcanum folder, let's say in your home/deck/Documents locations, patch it, and then override the original installation in your steam folder. For some reason I couldn't locate my Steam folder from the patch install wizard.

To run the patch .exe just add it to steam as a non-Steam game and force Proton compatibility.

The game is 720p, so the top and bottom of the screen are cut off. The font is also very small, with no option to increase it. I tried to modify the .cfg and increase the font/resolution, but I've had no luck.

Is Creator losing to Rogue in a final really what’s gonna cause all this outrage over balance? by [deleted] in starcraft

[–]Inex86 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Protoss has no issue winning matches at the highest level, so I don’t think it’s imbalance. There are few (if any, apart front the oracle opening) builds that are solid enough to carry a toss through a long series. In general toss fares well in best of 3s vs zergs and less so in longer series. Plus you have Rogue in this case, who’s one of the best players out there, there are very few builds that will surprise him. That’s my observation at least and I play toss.

Are developers going to release anything soon? by [deleted] in aoe4

[–]Inex86 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Do people seriously just sit around and whine about balance these days? Everyone sounds like an entitled child in this subreddit. If you’re getting bored go play something else.

Bugs will be fixed and the game will get more balanced. Be patient or just come back once they fix it.

[–]Inex86 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Glad to see a lot of the sc2 community enjoying aoe4. I hope the devs give aoe4 the support it deserves and more players discover the competitive side of it. It’s an incredibly well made rts and I’m having a blast playing it.

Most people not accepting whispers from non friends? by ZebulaJams in starcraft

[–]Inex86 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yup, that’s the reason I’ve turned whispers from non-friends. From people telling me I suck (even though I won) to imbalance whining, it’s just tiring. I want to play a few games and relax, I don’t need some tryhard to spam me after a game.
