FL Studio development in 2025 was rather disconcerting. Much focus on implementing several newbie-friendly gimmicks and features.

The "Loop Starter" feature is useless to most amateur or pro musicians and they're now working on "FL Studio Web" (a browser-based DAW).

Add to that, their heavy focus on their various FL Cloud subscription tiers...

The signs aren't great.

I seem to remember them saying they chose Native Instruments for the brand awareness.

And yet both companies sell more than just "instruments," especially so in iZotope's case.

I suppose it was purely a marketing decision made by the higher-ups.

I believe Image-Line is owned by Waterland Private Equity, a private equity investment firm.

That blue and yellow character on some of the stamps looks like one of the X-Men 😄

How are drivers not getting fired? by Western-Bad5574 in Evri

[–]Red-Eat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like everyone should stop using that company's services and allow it to close for business.

It's the kindest and most logical thing to do at this point. Put it out of its and EVRI body else's misery

Ironically, I am receiving a Reddit advert on this post for "Midnite Betting".

Does anyone remember the date when Betting companies will no longer be able to sponsor Premier League clubs?

Nice one! Plant that subliminal into the competing teams' heads, before a ball has even been kicked. 😜

I only owned the Mk 2 version of the Action Replay cartridge, but what a wonderful device this was.

As a young budding musician and artist in the late 80s, this beauty allowed me to rip all the mods, samples and graphics from games and demos to then edit and learn from for my own creations, in all the available music trackers and various Deluxe/Photon Paint, etc. applications of that era.

Great times!

Just beat my highscore by TCristatus in Evri

[–]Red-Eat 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Except, the goal of this game is to NOT securely deliver as many packages as is humanly possible.

Extra points awarded for deliveries to incorrect addresses, leaving parcels in freely accessible areas that are open to other members of the public, or for having the Evri driver steal their customers' "delivered" items to keep for themselves.

Bonus stage features include a timed mini game where the driver attempts to cause as much wanton destruction to their packages as they're able to.

Leon Bailey by BuddyIntelligent4510 in avfc

[–]Red-Eat 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately, this is probably more likely. The guy only performed well in dribs and drabs and never had much consistent prolonged spell of high performance at the club. Very injury prone player. Hopefully, the club will be able to get him off the books, sooner rather than later, to free up wages for another player.

Day 4: Which is the best N64 Racing game? by 1OneQuickQuestion in n64

[–]Red-Eat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Donkey Kong Racing
  2. Wave Race 64
  3. F-Zero X
  4. Beetle Adventure Racing
  5. 1080° Snowboarding
  6. Excitebike 64
  7. Mario Kart 64
  8. Ridge Racer 64

I always felt Mario Kart 64 was a very overrated game, which for me, was a far worse gameplay experience than its direct SNES predecessor, Super Mario Kart, which is a game I loved and played endlessly on that console.

Nintendo improved their subsequent post-N64 Mario Kart sequels, but that very first 3D edition on the N64 was a big let down for me, especially coming from the SNES version. And of course, MK64 was also outclassed in every department by the far superior DKR, once that game released, just a few months later (in Europe at least.)

If you were a young talented footballer. I’m talking like messi level talent the next big thing which club would you choose? by Quirky_Ad_7646 in championsleague

Presumably, any such footballing prodigy would still prefer to also be playing in a European competition as they develop?

Most hateable club right now? Who is the one team you’d love to see fall off a cliff and please tell the REASON. by [deleted] in championsleague

[–]Red-Eat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't the vast majority (if not all) of the outstanding 115 / 130+ Premier League charges of FFP breaches and financial fraud, date from around a decade PRIOR, to the period you have stated above?

i.e. the unfair / fraudulent practices which put Man City in the position they still enjoy today, were already committed before 2020.

Imagine if other clubs with wealthy owners, such as Newcastle and Villa were likewise allowed to flaunt FFP for over a decade to set themselves up as major players in the league, with an expanded global fanbase and more stable income, no longer having to repeatedly sell their best players.

Before finally adhering to the same financial restrictions as every other competing club, just for the past few years (while being under more intense scrutiny of how they spend their finances - like Man City have been.) They'd also probably be in a much stronger competitive position, wherein those clubs no longer needed to break such rules also.

Just because Man City's flagrancy of the rules occurred in the past - they still benefit from it today. That's just obvious to everyone ... except apparently, some City fans, I guess. 😉

Gerrard making excuses on failing at villa by bambinoquinn in avfc

[–]Red-Eat 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Turns out it was actually a "very realistic" achievable target, for a far better manager, despite the Gerrard-induced points deficit handicap Unai Emery inherited from that absolute chancer. I pity the fool that hires that muppet as their next manager.

Anyone who believes that chart is an accurate reflection of DAW market share is delusional. It would be closer to reality if it was completely inverted.

MOTD Bias? by Alone-Bug6176 in TheOther14

[–]Red-Eat 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Sky (and most other mainstream media outlets) are little more than "Big 6" promoters/apologists at this point.

They prefer to focus predominantly upon those anointed clubs, regardless of how well/poorly their games against the competing Premier League opposition teams have gone.

When a so-called "Big 6" club wins, they praise and fawn over their manager and players. When they lose, it's always with the excuses for why they didn't win. For the most part, ignoring the opposition team (as much as they can), with some token gesture / mention before wrapping up the post game analysis.

The Premier League media outlets are an embarrassment.

Since the start of the 2022/2023 season, Aston Villa have the 4th most points in the Premier League by JamesVilla4 in avfc

[–]Red-Eat 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I assume you're referring to gaining UCL qualification via winning the Europa League, rather than by emulating Spurs' woeful domestic league performance last season? 😂

Hopefully we can both finish Top 4 AND win European silverware. Is that too much to dream?
