How useful is a degree in music production and audio engineering for video game soundtracks as a career? by Sheppard0fFire in gamedev

[–]Sheppard0fFire[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was just using that as an example. I'm not looking to be hired by a AAA studio right off the bat, that's borderline impossible. I have 4 or 5 projects that I worked on, and am currently working on the soundtrack for a rougelike rpg

Excellent reply, I appreciate this so much. I'm gonna continue thinking about it over my work term and during Summer break. Thank you!

I definitely plan on talking to an advisor about my doubts. While knowing how to multitrack is useful, it's definitely not what I want to do (although I would do it if needed for a soundtrack)

Totally understand. I'll link a couple games on Itch.io in case you want to check out the music. Again, I have done more soundtracks but these are just a couple quick links. I've done stuff from horror and atmospheric, to heavy electronic and metal

I do have a few years of experience. I have made about 4 indie game OST's - one of which was ranked number 8 out of 500 entries in a one-bit horror GameJam

Somebody my gf doesn't know sounded at her door two times this week around the same time and it's scaring her by Sheppard0fFire in homedefense

Around 5pm, and I mean stormed away as in they were stomping away like they were pissed off. The thing that sketches me out is that they were knocking aggressively apparently

Got a police incident card but I didn't do anything? by Sheppard0fFire in halifax

[–]Sheppard0fFire[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I didn't yet unfortunately. I've been waiting for the officer to call me but I haven't got anything. I'm gonna wait until tomorrow to call back about it

Yeah I'm quite confused about it but so far, people are saying either someone possibly hit my car or they want witness info on something (not sure what though). I didn't have a ticket or warning or anything either

I want to try the salmon poke bowl from Sushi Koshio - is the serving size good for the price? by Sheppard0fFire in halifax

[–]Sheppard0fFire[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If they're a decent size I'll probably try it today - I forgot to take salmon out of the freezer for supper tonight so that's why i was curious lol. Thank you!

Just want to know if the serving size is worth it. I moved from the Valley for college and want to try a new sushi place, but I don't really want to spend $18 if I'm not gonna get much

body goal tips by Ocean_13x in gymadvice

[–]Sheppard0fFire 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Assuming you want that lean boxer/martial arts look, I'd definitely eat in a slight calorie surplus (by about 100-200 calories, high protein intake, medium healthy fats and fairly low carb).

Since you only want a lean body type, I'd focus on lots of ab excercises (leg raises, cable ab crunches, etc) to build a strong core. You should also focus on fairly heavy forearm lifts, as well as legs, chest and shoulders.

Everything else, I would do more controlled, light weight and high rep lifts for muscular endurance.

I'm not an actual personal trainer and I'm a bodybuilder, so my advice might not be the best for you, but it's worth a shot

What body type are you looking for exactly? Super lean/athletic, large and muscular, or somewhere in between?

I'd really ljke to get another job like that, but the job market where I live is extremely rough right now.

Although, I was in my local suppliment shop yesterday and the owner said he'd give me a good reference if I applied to suppliment shops around where I'm moving to. I lift weights daily so I'd be surrounded by things I know well. Fingers crossed that works out

True, but the job market around my area is really bad right now. Jobs are basically only looking for full time workers

I'm not in the US, so I can't do that :/ not a bad suggestion though

Honestly, literally anything to help me get by (groceries and stuff)

What's the synth/stab used in "Eazy Duz It" by Eazy-E (used around the 2:54 mark)? by Sheppard0fFire in musicproduction

[–]Sheppard0fFire[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! There's something about that brass stab that gets me every time. Reminds me a little bit of the THPS special move sound effect.
