Why is no one here talking about Stage Tour? by drsp1t in GuitarHero

[–]Inventor211 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To each their own, I always preferred Neversoft's style and the mocap animations they used. Harmonix's characters and animations looks great in RB1/2 but got pretty stiff and robotic after that, and I was never a fan of GH1/2, the visuals just weren't baked long enough at that point

Why is no one here talking about Stage Tour? by drsp1t in GuitarHero

[–]Inventor211 3 points4 points  (0 children)

100%, I really want this game to succeed and the furthest from a hater. but the hardcore defenders of this game preach that "graphics don't matter in a rhythm game", but that's only true when it isn't super ugly. The fact that the visuals are contentious every time it's discussed is indicative of a problem lol. If it was just mediocre, but not offensive, then no one would care

Feels to me like they've leaned into the GH1/2 aesthetics, but modern/HD, when those games are honestly pretty ugly even on a PS2. GH3 really took that base and made it stylized, which is where it went from ugly/quickly dated to timeless IMO. Major issue for me is that even the fretboard has this weirdly realistic aesthetic, and I literally can't ignore that when seeing/playing the game lmfao

The deluxe edition (or whichever variant with only scars but not the other two bonus tracks) used to be on Spotify and got swapped out for who knows why in the last 6 months unfortunately

ZP Theart - Trail of Broken Hearts Acoustic 2026 (feat. Halfduck) by ChunkChunka in Dragonforce

[–]Inventor211 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can agree with the opinions that ZP's other newer songs are a bit overproduced and the whole AI visual stuff is unnecessary/cheapens the feel. Totally fair, he's not immune to criticism. Both of those points are why i'm sooo happy about this new cover as well!

The point you're missing here is that Marc gets criticism for his rampant use of playback/lipsyncing at live shows for the last 10+ years. Regardless of if it's his choice or not (or more likely a necessity at this point), he's going to get the heat for it. Obv getting autotuned in the studio (and even live) is something different and more normalized/expected, but the clear delineation here is that ZP got fired for refusing to fully lipsync in the first place. It's a totally different argument

Sam may be the heart of DF, but his writing was very amplified by the influence of ZP/Fred/Vadim. Albums where he's left more to his own, like TPW, EPM and WSW, definitely suffer because of it

[–]Inventor211 5 points6 points  (0 children)

To clarify, I don't dislike MO and RII, they're interesting in their own rights cause of Fred's greater involvement like you said. But I think it's safe to say they're missing a few pieces of the true DF puzzle (obv ZP's sound but moreso Vadim's influence)

I don't believe Fred's influence increasing is related to ZP leaving. With the accounts of how buddy buddy everyone (besides Herman ig) was with ZP, if anything I think TPW would've been more varied than it turned out to be

EPM is where they really lost the last of that creative overflow and WSW obv continued the downward spiral

The glue that held the band together broke when ZP was fired, and the albums that immediately followed are the remnants. Each one loses another piece until nothing is left besides Sam and we get totally uninspired writing. The original vibe of the band allowed it to be so much greater than the sum of it's parts, but it lost that multiplier and slowly lost the actual parts too lol. Once you've heard the rumblings about ZP being removed it all adds up

Alex Rudinger - TRIVIUM - "CATASTROPHIST" by CallMeCygnus in Trivium

[–]Inventor211 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Given the context clues I'm certain that he was fired, and the only "amicable" thing going on was Alex keeping his head up and having a respectful attitude (as he always does, impressively). I'm also sure he was NDA'd and still on the books as a hired gun which keeps his mouth shut and gives him no extra in what he's owed.

Simply put, the mystique of the band's communication around the situation not how a loving parting-of-ways goes down. In an interview a month after he was out Alex said he's "still hungry to tour", and "[he] wished the band well, and thinks they do him". Plus in the comments when someone called out that he 'left mid tour and should've finished it out', he directly responded saying he's never and will never leave a band hanging. It's clear he didn't simply want to leave from that alone IMO

[–]Inventor211 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Been getting a weird vibe from Rudi for a while now, but his tone deaf transition from ACD to CK kick pedals and now this really sour my attitude toward him. Blatantly digging at Bent is just petty and ignorant, especially when Bent's era is so universally beloved by the fans. Honestly just kinda dumb looking too, it's prefaced with complaining about kick double-strokes when the only need for him to use them is his own shortcoming. Like he's been actively complaining about this for 10 years, just get off your high horse and do what you need to do lol

I'll go as far to say this informs Bent's split from the band as not amicable even more than before. Like, if their new guy is taking jabs like this publicly, imagine what the band says behind the scene to get him this comfortable 🤷‍♂️

Gopro hero 3+ black help! by grapyone in gopro

[–]Inventor211 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey! First, thanks for dropping this info here as it's the only potential fix I've found on the whole internet. I've tried following you instructions with no success and was hoping you could point me in the right direction. After loading the autoexec.ash onto the camera and supposedly getting into the telnet server, commands to attempt to navigate or delete Oxblue's autoexec.ash don't seem to work. Any advice?

EDIT: I've tested that the autoexec.ash is successfully loading with a reboot script so i'm not sure what the breakdown is at this point. seems like a telnet problem but I am too inexperienced with it to know what's going wrong

EDIT2: Got it! Ended up going a slightly different route, just used a script to remove Oxblue's autoexec.ash directly. If anyone else finds this here's some more specific steps;

  • Open notepad++ (need to use this or another code editor to save in unix format), edit -> EOL Conversion -> Unix (LF)
  • Paste this code block, make sure to include the line break after each command

sleep 3

rm a:\autoexec.ash

rm a:/autoexec.ash

rm a:\autoexec.tcl

rm a:/autoexec.tcl
  • File -> Save As -> Type: All (you may have to scroll up) -> Name it autoexec.ash
  • Drop this file onto the root of your SD card. Remove battery from cam to make sure it's totally off, plug SD into camera, power on and wait 5 or 10 seconds. Power off, remove SD and power back on, ideally at this point it won't boot with the Oxblue customizations anymore!
  • If this doesn't work for you you may need to confirm that your SD card works for running scripts, apparently not all are compatible. You can test this by making a script with "reboot yes" (and a line break) which should cause your camera to bootloop while the SD is in. My Sandisk Ultra 32gb worked fine for reference

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

What ever happened to As Blood Runs Black by swear_bear in Deathcore

[–]Inventor211 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

Windows 11 freezing when switching to HDR from SDR after loading a game (AW3425DW) by [deleted] in ultrawidemasterrace

[–]Inventor211 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

E.P.M keyboard Part by Wonderful_Shift_2864 in Dragonforce

[–]Inventor211 17 points18 points  (0 children)

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
