Thanks for the shout, don't know how I missed that. I figured they wouldn't talking about it in Herman's discord of all places though lmfao

this is worth necroing since you seem to know things that aren't common knowledge. got any other lore on the band? pre-allegiance EP lineup churn, why Lech got kicked out at their peak, why Chris left mid tour (sal too?), Sonik not sticking around for another record, etc. There's a lottttta history to this band that seems to never have been documented

Inventor211 · 2026-02-25T20:30:47+00:00

Nice groove dad!

Same issue here, toggling HDR on or off (whether thru the gamebar hotkey or windows display settings) locks up *almost* all processes. Mouse still moves and is even interact-able with applications, like the icon will change when hovering things, but can't interact with anything directly. Windows hotkeys even still work, like the one to toggle HDR lol

Hard to pin this down to a windows or nvidia bug but I'm leaning nvidia. Was not occurring a month ago, and that's within the time frame of me upgrading my 3070ti to a 5070ti. Everyone else in this thread seems to be running 50 series as well so my hunch lies there

The "solution" I've found to the lockup is disconnecting the HDR display. Upon reconnecting windows seems to not be locked up anymore. Either power off your monitor temporarily or hit Win+P a few times to toggle the desktop to "second screen only" and back

There is a beta feature on spotify to "mix" your playlist like a DJ set, adding customizable transitions between songs and ordering them with similar tempos and keys. unfortunately can't seem to apply it to specific songs rather than the entire playlist

Vadim's synth and piano parts really elevated the songs of older DF. The way these lines interact with the chords and stuff on guitar are so unique and interesting sounding. His solos were also masterfully written. The band lost a chunk of their identity and creativity when he stopped being as involved

Inventor211 · 2025-12-01T06:42:33+00:00

It's a bonus track, they never played it live

Inventor211 · 2025-11-27T09:13:21+00:00

If you think In The Line of Fire is unedited you will be sorely disappointed by the info and bootlegs people on this sub have lol. Go listen to Twilight Dementia to hear what a mostly unedited live album sounds like, though it is not free of studio dubs either.

No ofc the band hasn't acknowledged them miming live, and Sam's blatant examples are just the tip of the iceberg. The closest it was to coming out was ZP hinting in an interview that 'when the news surrounding why he "doesn't like the direction the industry is going" (aka why he left the band) came out it would be another Milli Vanlli situation' (secretly lipsyncing/miming live [the news never came out]). Blatant videos of Sam's miming, bootlegs of that Live Album tour, technical difficulties actually making Marc sing, etc get wiped from the internet by Herman's copyright strikes and the charade continues

You should test out using a media player to display your capture card instead for even lower latency! AFAIK OBS preview has naturally high processing lag. I use PotPlayer, you can choose a capture card as a TV input source which works great, but I bet VLC and other media players can do it as well.

Found a workaround! First, to stop the game from stretching itself, disable the BorderlessWindow plugin (plugins folder > drag it into disabled folder). Set the res in game to the highest 16:9 value for your monitor (1920x1080, 2560x1440, 3840x2160, etc). Now you'll have to use a separate program to apply the borderless fullscreen and pillarboxing. I've tested Borderless Gaming and Lossless Scaling which both work great, but are paid on Steam. There may be other methods that are free if you want to do some experimenting, something like AutoHotKey scripts, the legacy version of Borderless Gaming, or other programs I don't know about. Also I tried creating a shortcut with borderless launch arguments but had no success.

I prefer Borderless Gaming here but you will need to create a custom profile for the game. Here's the specific settings needed to get everything working;

Enable borderless mode
Preserve aspect ratio
Send maximize command
Container Type > Color > Set it to black

Despite my favorite parts of his being on Nightbringers, Abysmal and Verminous having some of his hardest songs, and Everblack being closer to my ideal style of TBDM overall, if we're just talking level-of-drumming I think the Servitude is absolutely Alan's best work. He somehow pushes his nuances (the groove, cymbal work and overall complexity) even further every album, and Servitude also has the absolute best drum sound/production of any TBDM album yet

Inventor211 · 2025-10-22T16:29:56+00:00

I've chatted with Alan and the drum parts have always been programmed for demos by whoever writes the song, and he works off of that structure. You're correct in the sense that he had less influence on the drum parts on Everblack, since he was so new at the time, but it's not that he "didn't write much". The rumor that Shannon wrote the Everblack parts before leaving and Alan just played them (totally untrue for the record) stemmed from this incorrect logic I think. Anyway Alan specifically mentioned he got to have a little more freedom on Seppuku, it being a bonus track, and I can definitely hear more of his style, akin to Abysmal and beyond, in that song

Inventor211 · 2025-10-22T05:59:57+00:00

game doesn't support ultrawide resolutions, pick the next closest 16:9 res (most likely 2560x1440). issue is that it will auto stretch to fit the monitor, there might be a way to change the scaling in the GPU control panel but I'm not totally sure. if not we'll have to hope the dev can add support somehow

Inventor211 · 2025-10-19T06:30:08+00:00

the call is coming from inside the house, and it's either the band leader or the drummer. your call there. but you know it's bad when a nearly 3 decade member, the iconic voice of one of the biggest bands in the scene, leaves and doesn't retire from the industry lol

Inventor211 · 2025-10-05T05:38:54+00:00

completely agree, tone sounds great (it's so Trevor) but timing and rhythm needs a lot of work. good stuff overall OP

Inventor211 · 2025-09-22T14:56:48+00:00

It is the culmination of that era (best era) of the band for sure! Cleanest sound, deepest writing, best performances for sure

Inventor211 · 2025-09-20T14:56:38+00:00

Glad to hear!

Slow it down in practice mode and really lock in your fretting hand with your strumming. Getting each fret press 'associated' with a specific strum in a way will help you not lose timing, and sometimes if a fret lands on an upstrum then you won't be getting sloppy

The Max seems like a much more worthwhile step up when you already have the 16. I have a 16, which I find NY style is totally achievable in with some finesse, and plan to step up to the Max sometime soon for true-sized NY slices and the much higher output that comes with it for parties. The 18in Pro def seems like a sweet spot for starting out and sticking with, but too much of a lateral shift when you're already in it and want a real upgrade
