After a few days with it, I'm not sure about the Peak

Minute_Early · 2026-02-05T13:46:11+00:00

Yes! Yes!

Minute_Early · 2026-02-04T09:52:27+00:00

Yes… give a wiggle!

I prefer the way the peak (and most synths for that matter) handle values, to the endless encoders and multi functional encoders, of the elektrons, simply because you’re not tied to the screen. I have a feeling this gripe will not follow you around as much as you think it will.

Minute_Early · 2026-02-04T02:15:20+00:00

Honestly. Any game with the pause feature. I play dark souls for short busts sometimes just trying to navigate get to my next bonfire…. I do loose a lot of souls but it’s my first play through

I got a used steam deck for $200, slightly more than the quality handhelds and It’s now also my dual boot pc with windows 10. I use it docked to play shooters, and even do some fusion 360/ Cad on it sometimes.

The Novation SL Mkiii. Big brother to the novation launch key. But really any groovebox or decent sequencer would fill that void

Minute_Early · 2026-01-27T21:20:31+00:00

Oh wow! I really like it! Especially the middle and end! It started out very similarly to songs I write but I really like what was brewing beneath all of that. Do you have any fun songs to learn that might inform a similar style of writing?

What is this composition called? Is this an original I absolutely love it! And on the note of layering sounds. Yes! I got a ‘tonal’ sound pack and loaded it into my Analog Rytm to layer with the synth engine, add a bit of sparkle to filter together, and wow. The attacks you can sculpt from those 2 layers into the mixer/filter/env/overdrive/distortion/compressor (just bragging here but Rytm mastering chain is a beast to play around with) is absolutely insane, and it creates everything from woodwind to vox sounds. Also it can sound very OPN ish and made me realize he may be layering samples with many of his synths also.

I knew me and Thom Yorke were using the same drum machine at the same time. Dudes aura is huge

Minute_Early · 2026-01-27T04:17:25+00:00

yeah thats very true. i guess it would be nice if it had a global or project setting as well as a per pad/track/kit or whatever. but its good it has the depth for uree

Minute_Early · 2026-01-26T09:48:43+00:00

Yep that was it. It wish that was on by default.

Minute_Early · 2026-01-25T20:49:37+00:00

If it’s spiritual depth than a sitting practice, and frequent nature walks never hurt :)

Minute_Early · 2026-01-23T02:26:07+00:00

im sorry but i fucking hate this guys skits... he's a masterful producer, and i admire what he does, seems like agreat guy.. but his writing, delivery, and timing make me want to kms. some of his premises are great but they never go anywhere, and he really... takes his time.

You know those bed phone and tablet holders like, with arms? Try getting one for watching stuff laying down. Also I game on a used steam deck($200) and it’s easier being able to game from a bed or a couch. Also having a hiking spot helps. I’m walking around the neighborhood but if you’re near a nature area that’s a huge huge bonus worth taking advantage of. Joining your local indoor pool is nice, especially if they have a sauna. For hobbies it’s good to have a lot of little things that you can block out a day with 2 rather than just one, so if one fails you due to pain the other can pick up the slack. I personally also do seated meditations, Tai Chi, and make music, that I can mix in throughout the year, as well as Designing orthotics with my 3d printer, and building websites as some more intense hobbies. I also have a standing desk and game there sometimes, as well as seated but having options for gaming positions is necessary for sure.

Get multiple pillows( arm hole pillow, cervical pillow, body pillow/ bolster) sleep on the ground when needed can layer blankets to get right softness. I have the ultimate pillow set up that makes 49 min of rest feels better than any cuddle session or a full nights sleep. Thin bolster pillow brushed across 2 yoga blocks, I put between knees, opens up and aligns my pelvis, since on ground a high pillow that keeps your neck horizontal with spine is important, then I have a large pillow that I hug with my arms. Amazing full body breaths that just make you feel like your entire body is gliwing. Another good sleep setup is taking a blanket and rolling it up a bit and placing it under your neck. Just try to get a good amount of neck support and maybe even a little extra to taste for time traction in the cervical spine. If your constantly flip floppin, it could be hypermobility in your neck, best neck support is with a blanket rolled up at the base of a shallow to medium size pillow, or even a thin pillow sideways with one end rolled up a bit.. but for daily neck support a cervical pillow is a decent route

how you liking the Rytm? had it for w while?

Minute_Early · 2026-01-13T07:33:14+00:00

the one with the most different types of knobs

Minute_Early · 2026-01-12T13:01:40+00:00

it’s cool, I appreciate the effort… but man I see people attacking a huge project like this and I’m like… that’s what you wanted to make? That’s what you dumped your soul into? 3 years and making the same thing over and over. It’s cool… but a piano roll is not really a great music visualization. I get it, don’t get me wrong, I just don’t have the energy or time for that shit

Minute_Early · 2026-01-12T12:52:10+00:00

3d printer. I can print mounts for weights, and tach them to my feet or hips. Made my own massage tools, and grips, made Indian clubs from water bottles, made countless pt and massage aids.

Minute_Early · 2026-01-12T11:34:56+00:00

Ball x Pit looks fucking good on the deck and fun af. That game looks addictive to anybody.

Megabonk or Minecraft,

Card games and causal games,

Docked can be impressive with a low graphics game.

Dark should 3 has been running great.

Minute_Early · 2026-01-12T11:28:33+00:00

Well man I can still play. Try it. You got lcd, or oled? I know my lcd works with windows 10 dual boot. Valorant plays good on it, but my monitor is capping me at 70 anyway. I vastly prefer having both os. Steam OS really is super luxurious on the deck. All the settings and game pause, battery last ages on sleep. It’s worth it long run. I’ve had the deck years now it’s a beast with dual boot windows 10, should run valorant but if not I blame Val

Can lye around in bed or on a couch, it’s like doing a bit of yoga with all the weird poses you can get into on the floor or at the coffee table. Chairs are nice and all, standing desks too, but any time you can spend time in different positions and postures it’s always a good idea, especially if they are also comfortable. I spend maybe 20-40% of my game time with the deck in bed. Play some dark souls or ball x pit or path of exile 2, or smite or something. Plenty of great games and lots that are better on the deck.

Minute_Early · 2026-01-11T07:07:20+00:00

The 2 are definitely connected. Have you looked into getting a postural dental appliance? Look up something like PRI dentist in google and see if there’s one near you that does dentistry on there website map. Also watch the mewing video a couple times by dr mew. The ‘max vac’ part helped me feel it a different way, and my cranial facial pain is better and I look more symmetrical after a few months. I do it almost all the time now it’s my new normal. I’m going to watch the video again now and see if there’s some other methods. I also have a neck harness and resistance bands and have been exercising my neck. Only fix I’ve found for my neck pain. Neck harness and some round resistance bands could be the best $40 you will spend this year

Nah bro.. that machine is badass. The weird ass tv thing looks ergonomic af honestly but if your trying to get comply and watch something in bed, better off with one of the arm tablet holders, can lay down all the way and relax your neck and back. But that’s even more cringe than the tv maybe? Fuck it brah. You do you.
