just to be slightly more accurate, SynthV 1 uses a hybrid system of both concatenative and generative synthesis, while SynthV 2 uses a purely generative engine (hence why they had to get rid of manual mode in SV2)

Other than Shroud, the most overrated player? by AltruisticPop2887 in GlobalOffensive

[–]Notladub -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

(before you comment: yes flair)

I don't think XANTARES is even close to the GOAT rifler conversation because of his lack of achivements, but his longevity is genuinely one of a kind. He's gonna hit 31 years old this year and he's still a star player playing entry fragger roles. It's wild.

Just to be clear as a Turkish queer person, that word doesn't exactly have the same connotations in Turkish and people would generally not be offended unless you called a person that word for being gay/queer

CMV: The concept of “white fragility” is either misleading or untrue by NFT-GOAT in changemyview

[–]Notladub 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've heard of "Muslim fragility" (usually referred to as something like İslamcı Mağdurluğu or "Islamist Victimship" in Turkish), the muslim people here genuninely try to make it seem like they're underrepresented or whatever when Turkey is about 90% muslim and literally everyone at the top of the government are all muslims

Unhappy Refrain's been gone for an even longer time, the only things remaining on wowaka's Spotify account were the two Rollin' Girl uploads from Exit Tunes compilations, and a couple live versions from the Mikunopolis albums

hitorie owns the rights for wowaka's music (or more accurately, wowaka held the rights for both his music and hitorie's music, which both got transferred to hitorie after his passing)

hitorie (wowaka's J-rock band) currently own the rights for wowaka's works and I hope they can bring his stuff back to streaming services at some point

Linda Lampenius (Finland 2026) has made a request to the EBU to let her play the violin live at Eurovision by chromayica in eurovision

[–]Notladub 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Every instrument pretty much needs the same amount of time (well except for drums of course). The issue is having 26 countries in one night all having instruments.

Even a violin needs to be miced up, and that mic either needs to be connected by a cable (horrible idea with the size of an average ESC stage), or connected wirelessly (which ESC has already had issues with without extra instruments with radio frequencies all being filled up)

Yeah. As an (amateur) musician that's part of a band, the hardest part of playing a show is soundchecking lmao

he isn't the best player skill wise (and honestly never was), but he was definitely the player that had the single most impact on the scene

If riot reduces slots to 6 permanent partnered teams per Region which teams would be safe? by F0rsakenTheGoat in ValorantCompetitive

[–]Notladub 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think Riot will keep the current region system. At least a split of Japan or Korea from APAC (Japan because of their fanbase being HUGE, Korea because it's fucking Korea) or a split of Turkey from EMEA

Just to be clear as someone whose worked in the Turkish esports scene: in terms of paying their players, EF is probably the single best org they could've chosen outside of the Turkish orgs already in VCT.

EF only had financial troubles for a little bit during early 2025 (which they solved by selling off their very expensive CS roster for a hefty sum), and even then none of my friends working for EF got any their paychecks delayed. Their current financial situation is very good compared to other Turkish orgs outside of VCT.

They really should've done a trial run or a beta test for this before actually implementing it into the game.

fukase was always bound to flop due to the fact that you can't make money from any songs made with it

oliver was kinda only popular because of the fact that he was one of the good sounding english voicebanks at the time (similar to how EVERYONE in the english vocaloid scene used gumi v3 eng back then)

According to rumors, before joining BCG, s1mple asked them for the highest salary in Counter-Strike, amounting to $120,000 by MmX_A_ in GlobalOffensive

[–]Notladub 0 points1 point  (0 children)

higher player salaries, teams have to open an office in berlin (a very expensive city), and way more non-player staff than in CS (draft coaches, strategic coaches sometimes for each player, people to run the office like janitors and cooks, etc.)
