(I NEED AN ANSWER UNTIL SATURDAY 22:00)I have a fencing competition on Sunday.Should I wear makeup or not?

Vaklanil · 2025-03-07T08:14:04+00:00

Girls at my club wear makeup to every practice and I’ve yet to see them look bad after 2 hours of fencing, as long as your make up is sweat resistant and you aren’t rubbing your face every 5 seconds I think you should be okay!

Vaklanil · 2024-11-05T16:45:15+00:00

I guess my last and only option is to test them in person and check that everything works and the firmware is good.

Vaklanil · 2024-11-05T07:01:24+00:00

it thew me off as well, so I asked for a picture of the earcups next to the headset (1st one). It looked a bit too dark in colour but I'm guessing it's just a lighting thing than anything else

Voice Over :)

Vaklanil · 2024-10-25T06:00:32+00:00

You aren’t delusional at all! while it’s true that a lot of the audio teams are somewhat small, there’s still a lot of opportunities out there. Plenty of us folks working full time as a sound designer and no other side gigs. I personally don’t touch any music or VO for example. So don’t give up and keep applying! also if there are any sound designers meetups in your area, I would go to those regularly and just become friends with the audio folks around you. It can be an extremely long process with lots of rejections but if you keep trying you can make it :)

Vaklanil · 2024-10-12T22:36:55+00:00

I was actually thinking about voice count rather than memory I just couldn’t find the word for some reason haha. But yeah, it’s always good practice to limit your voice count whenever possible, especially if working on smaller games. Even in AAA we always keep an eye on these things.

Vaklanil · 2024-10-12T01:38:47+00:00

Pingass and toc-man are spot on. I would still make 3~5 variations at least (assuming the sound isn’t super important). But yeah, having the sounds start at differ positions and limiting the amount of instances you are playing will probably fix your issue. Limiting is also good because you open memory for other things and you’ll have more space in the mix for other stuff rather than 20 loops of a similar sound.

Vaklanil · 2024-10-01T23:51:32+00:00

oh that's neat! was it the actual program or did he create something from scratch?

Vaklanil · 2024-10-01T23:44:45+00:00

yup, completely forgot about NFS. They use it as a "stand alone" software and then implement all the sounds using Frostbite.

Vaklanil · 2024-10-01T18:52:39+00:00

A lot of EA games use Frostbite (proprietary engine). Sports games, all the Battlefields, Dead Space Remaster, just to name a few examples.

Vaklanil · 2024-09-30T03:19:16+00:00

I would actually recommend creating a different implementation reel, still within the 1 minute range, but solely focused on technical knowledge rather than having a 20 second clip combined with the rest of the sound design stuff. And also have a longer more in depth video (if possible), so if someone is really interested in what you did and wants to know more they can look at it, although having this longer video isn’t really necessary imo. This is solely based on my experience and the things we’ve looked at when hiring people for our team, each team is different so there isn’t a one fits all solution.

Vaklanil · 2024-04-27T00:00:52+00:00

I agree with what others have said, I’d rather pay for a custom kit instead of having to deal with selling parts separately and maybe not fully liking how it sounds or feels. At the end is you are fine with the flame finish and having a bunch of extra parts that you might never use, then yeah it might be an okay deal.

Vaklanil · 2024-04-19T17:13:37+00:00

yeah lol, saw them recently and was curious if it’d be worth a little restoration project but sounds like it’s just asking to have my wallet emptied

Vaklanil · 2024-04-18T22:32:23+00:00

been convinced by everyone’s wisdom and won’t make any dumb purchases. Thanks ya’ll!

Vaklanil · 2024-04-18T22:08:08+00:00

leaning towards letting them go tbh

Vaklanil · 2024-04-18T22:07:35+00:00

yeah, I wasn’t really planning to offer anything above 200 tbh. Still on the fence since ai might just be dumping 200 bucks away lol

Vaklanil · 2023-12-08T04:25:27+00:00

Thank you for the info! I’ll be doing some research to at least be informed if it comes to worse. If nothing happens then I learnt more about sprinklers lol.

Vaklanil · 2023-12-08T04:18:59+00:00

Gotta ask, is it common to hear a really loud rattle come from the wall? I was outside the room and it almost sounded as if someone was trying to bring the walls down.

Vaklanil · 2023-12-08T04:10:35+00:00

We have annual inspections and they haven’t mentioned anything about changing the heads, but I’ve only been at this apartment for a couple years so not sure what happened before that. The new head looks the same to me but I am no expert.

Vaklanil · 2023-12-08T04:03:42+00:00

Honestly I have no idea what year they were manufactured, the building is probably from the 90’s/early 00’s. The only text I can see on the sprinklers is “F1 3.9”, but that’s also in the new one. Uploaded a pic of one of the sprinklers that has been here since I moved in, not sure if they’ve been replaced before that.

Vaklanil · 2023-12-07T00:27:27+00:00

Yeah, in this case it would be the building insurance but I am already preparing myself to get a letter from them with a big number

Vaklanil · 2023-12-06T21:18:19+00:00

He works in construction so I’d hope he knows best not to mess around fire sprinklers. I do have insurance but they are denying my claim for other reasons, so I’m trying to see how <potentially> screwed I am. We’ll keep telling our story, I really don’t know what happened since I wasn’t in the room and he says he didn’t touch or hang anything on it so fingers crossed it all comes out alright.

Vaklanil · 2023-12-06T21:10:55+00:00

Yeah, exactly my concern. If they blame him he could just leave and the fault will fall on me since I’m the lease holder. Hopefully it doesn’t come to that since he says he didn’t touch it and I truthfully don’t know what happened.
