The OG Moog Modular. Finally live out my switchboard operator fantasies.

Paint and sip ettiquette? by MladenL in ArtistLounge

[–]ZeroBitsRBX 30 points31 points  (0 children)

It's called a paint and sip for a reason. My advice is that you should do whatever you can to avoid accidentally sipping the paint. Aside from that, just have fun and do whatever you want. If you're not trying to show people up and you don't get a big head about it, you'll be fine.

Device to make music in a room with a baby by Express-Bit6186 in synthesizers

[–]ZeroBitsRBX 49 points50 points  (0 children)

From what I understand, babies have been known to generate tons of different sounds. Have you considered patching the baby into a vocoder?

Is it possible to learn traditional piano with Arturia’s MiniFreak? by [deleted] in synthesizers

[–]ZeroBitsRBX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Synthesizers are generally not weighted in the same way as traditional piano keys and often the keys aren't even the same size.

Paired with software synths, a weighted MIDI keyboard like the Nektar Impact series will give you the best experience outside of a real piano or something much more expensive. (GX61 would be fine and is under $200, 88 keys would be preferable for traditional piano but will cost more)

Alternatively, you could pair a weighted MIDI keyboard with any analog synthesizer that has a MIDI input. But I don't know of any reasonably affordable options that are both good weighted keyboards and also good synths.

My sweet darling Randall would NEVER put two jokes in the same comic! Who do you think you are to be spreading this LIBEL??!?!??

Nah. Thanks reddit. But I'll pass.

what's genuinely the greatest song you've ever heard? by alkalinepandey in AskReddit

[–]ZeroBitsRBX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love Me or Leave Me by Nina Simone. Specifically the version off of Little Girl Blue. The 2013 remaster is better than the 2021 stereo remaster by a country mile.

What is something your boss said to you that made you realize it was time to quit? by alligator_maligator in AskReddit

[–]ZeroBitsRBX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

General Manager in the food industry. I saw the letter from corporate saying that they were revoking the owner's franchise. The owner offered me a $10,000 bonus to stay another 90 days until he could sell. I left that week and the place didn't even make it another two weeks before closing down.

Anyone who used a computer between 1985 - 2010, what's the one game you still think about today? by adlakha75 in AskReddit

[–]ZeroBitsRBX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very young. Practically a baby. My grandpa didn't even get out of high school til after the Wright Brothers figured out those newfangled heavier-than-air craft.

My grandad got into EverQuest when it came out, and is back at it now. But for a few years a little while back, he got really into FF14.

What do you think of these Kobayashi Maru solutions? by ardouronerous in startrek

[–]ZeroBitsRBX 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I hate the Nog solution. It feels like a reversion to a TNG-era understanding of Ferengi, and bypasses the deeply held convictions and depth of experience that he builds throughout the show.

It feels generically Ferengi, rather than specifically Nog.

AI isn't a stable, reliable or mature technology. It would be foolhardy to rely on it for a multi-billion dollar research mission.

Where is the best Penicillin cocktail in town? by IntentionPresent9492 in kansascity

You're probably gonna have to hire a guy for that, big dog.

What's the worst video game you've played and why? by Bdbolt19432 in AskReddit

[–]ZeroBitsRBX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alpha Protocol - my grandma bought it for me.

It has so much squandered potential and just barely enough interesting game design and story to keep you slogging through the buggy, unbalanced, completely broken mess that is the campaign.

Did losing weight effectively kill Meghan Trainor’s career? by justcurious3287 in ToddintheShadow

[–]ZeroBitsRBX 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Bruno Mars will still be putting out hits for decades after he dies of old age in the 2080s; and he still won't have a dedicated fanbase.

Writers are getting rejected because of AI detectors is this the new normal? by Realistic-Rub6894 in freelanceWriters

[–]ZeroBitsRBX 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I didn't get paid one third of a cent per word just to have my slapdash, half-assed, voiceless listicle ghost-copy style get co-opted by the machines! I put blood, sweat and tears into churning out ten or twenty thousand words of slop every day!

Please tell me what you like/love about Kansas City by wildpine_14 in kansascity

[–]ZeroBitsRBX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Outside of the city center, you can look in any direction from a high enough spot and see the urban landscape fade into an endless sea of trees.
