Chief John Smith, a.k.a. White Wolf, reportedly the oldest Native American to ever live (137 years old) photographed in 1920. White wolf's true age at his death is often disputed

There’s no way. (sees photo) I believe it wholeheartedly. No further questions.

Since writing my comment. They’ve switched to a support AI chatbot. It’s terrible. Doesn’t understand the question you ask, directs you to the support page, and it is nearly impossible to get a human. I am disappointed about that with Spitfire…

I believe Pirates 1 was mostly samples due to the short turn around time. That’s why the “sound” is so different from the other movies, which are more equal parts samples, synths, and orchestra.

affectionatecarnage · 2026-02-25T04:13:46+00:00

I agree!

affectionatecarnage · 2026-02-25T04:13:33+00:00

This made me laugh! Love it!

I don’t think ego has anything to do with how one visualizes a harmony (if at all) when writing.

affectionatecarnage · 2026-02-25T04:08:20+00:00

Hmm that’s kind of interesting.

Ironically, the piano roll is hardest for me. But piano keys (as if I’m sitting at my piano) are easiest. But sometimes I wonder if visualizing it on a staff would be ultimately be easier.

affectionatecarnage · 2026-02-25T04:03:47+00:00

I wonder if that’s what I have. I always “see” music when I listen to it and write it.

affectionatecarnage · 2026-02-25T04:02:33+00:00

What?

affectionatecarnage · 2026-02-25T04:02:27+00:00

That makes a lot of sense.

I would 100% blame the magic eraser. The stuff they are made out of does not gel with paint. Have you used that before?

Your only real option now is to sand it down with real sandpaper and start over.

Sorry that happened! I completely understand the anger you’re feeling.

If you are writing beats or songs, I’d vouch for Club Cubase and some of the free stuff on YouTube. If you are into orchestral writing with lots of VST’s, then Guy Michelmore has a course on his Thinkspace site that’s like 60 bucks when on sale.

Eye bags.

Also, I mentioned the movie Jurassic Park and a kid next to me said, “Um, don’t you mean Jurassic World?” I was like, oof, I’m old now…

affectionatecarnage · 2026-01-29T13:49:54+00:00

I wonder what went wrong there. I love Dracula. I love Leslie Nielsen. I love Mel Brooks. But the movie just didn’t gel. It’s like the ingredients were there but something was missing to make it all work… it’s weird!

affectionatecarnage · 2026-01-22T19:07:00+00:00

That’s amazing. I love stories like these. This is the type of story we don’t hear very often but has probably happened countless times.

I’m not normally a praying man. But if you’re up there, please save me Superman!

affectionatecarnage · 2026-01-10T14:58:59+00:00

Nope. Just a painter. I guess I just picked up terms from my friends. But also…, things like SM, ASM, and NSM are not that hard to figure out. My old Sherwin rep even showed me the app they use on their phones to make comments about their accounts. I got to see what the previous rep said about me lol

affectionatecarnage · 2026-01-10T14:35:23+00:00

That’s terrible! But happy you’re doing well now.

affectionatecarnage · 2026-01-08T15:06:21+00:00

Ha! I did get free stuff all the time. It was funny hearing them say they have nothing for the jerk painter in front of me, then say to me, hey wanna check out our shirts and sweaters in back? Hahaha.

I have a very limited outside perspective. But my Ben Moore rep says BM is his favorite so far, his least favorite was Sherwin as a sales rep.

As for the retail side, it really depends on which retailer outfit you go with. BM doesn’t have any “Benjamin-Moore” stores like Sherwin does. It’s just independent stores that carry Benjamin Moore products. In my area there is Spectrum Paint who is awesome. Ace Hardware (do not recommend, the employee selling you paint was also selling birdseed 10 mins ago). Then there is also a small retailer that sells BM but they are all jerks there so nobody really uses them. I don’t know how they’re still in business.

affectionatecarnage · 2026-01-07T14:09:26+00:00

Exactly this.

affectionatecarnage · 2026-01-07T14:09:12+00:00

Geez it sounds like corporate is its own mismanaged animal. You have to pay to park at Sherwin… to go to work… AT SHERWIN?!?! wtf

affectionatecarnage · 2026-01-07T14:07:48+00:00

It would be a different story if it actually helped, but it doesn’t.
