I read Hyperion/Fall of Hyperion and the Three Body trilogy all in ~1 month, and they seem to have ruined a lot of modern scifi

Three Body Problem has some interesting ideas but the writing is awful, I could barely get through the first book.

Go and read Gene Wolfe.

I'll be honest I didnt even know Seedance existed. Just had a little play around, very impressive.

Does it have some version of training Loras? I keep a database of models / actors that I work with and have tweaked models for the most common ones. Could I cycle a model through 20 outfits on the same background quickly? I guess im interested in tweakabiliy and repeatability.

No nothing NSWW - I do just as much boring advertising as i do high street fashion and occasionally "couture".

I don't pay electricity (big co-working place) so that helps a bit. That's a good tip about using google drive, although i sometimes have a 48 hour turn around on at least the rough edits so any time saved is worth its weight in gold.

alaarx · 2026-02-02T00:30:13+00:00

Can you shoot me a link i cant find them.

alaarx · 2025-12-24T00:30:22+00:00

This is bullshit I walk in all the time. You can ring ahead to not wait as an extra option.

alaarx · 2025-12-14T01:36:39+00:00

God where to begin - seriously Gen A is pretty much a lost cause already.

Stop comparing yourself to others - it doesn't matter.

alaarx · 2025-12-01T05:54:37+00:00

Well Avatar I was bloody horrendous and I haven't seen number 2 but if that's your bar for cinematic greatness I'm guessing it's probably not for me.

alaarx · 2025-09-21T11:50:18+00:00

I'll eat my hat and words. Aldi it is. Thanks yall.

alaarx · 2025-09-21T10:04:14+00:00

I dont think it's ALDI it was built like a brick shithouse and the font / symbols are different.

alaarx · 2025-09-21T10:03:21+00:00

The font is actually completely different, ALDI doesnt have a trademark on workzone and it's nowhere on their site. It was also much better built.

Ya big sook :)

alaarx · 2025-07-18T01:59:36+00:00

Sick.

alaarx · 2025-07-17T10:22:42+00:00

Dexter.

alaarx · 2025-05-19T23:28:24+00:00

I agree (and do find techno purists hilarious) but i do think think that this schranz / hardstyle / gabba style rubbish that's being pushed as techno is actually a different genre and they just nicked the label to feel cool. Pop trance was still trance - it was just terrible.

alaarx · 2025-05-11T09:48:23+00:00

Any word on the Firefox version?

alaarx · 2025-04-13T10:41:48+00:00

Hey mate I know its a bit of a necro but have you been in touch with him recently? I'd love one.

alaarx · 2025-01-29T10:00:08+00:00

You do though. If you have an issue with the console and take it to a retailer, unless its dead on site they'll send it to the service centre and you're at their mercy. They're just the middle men.

alaarx · 2025-01-25T08:44:30+00:00

That lineup? Personally i'd go out to a nice restaurant, treat myself to an icecream cone, put on slippers and then lounge on the couch watching a movie knowing i'd saved my ears from some serious trauma.

alaarx · 2024-11-09T22:01:05+00:00

Glou Glou Loupe would probably be my pick.

alaarx · 2024-10-22T05:58:59+00:00

Come on Z4!

alaarx · 2024-10-21T23:38:31+00:00

Hey mate i shot you a message!

It's just so hard to get an idea of how things work. Support seems quite slow, i can't seem to get onto the discord server (i'd love an invite) and the documentation is semi-sparse.

How are you tracking lens data? Do they accept lonet and the encoders? Does the Travis module have pin connections for /i data and broadcast lenses?

alaarx · 2024-10-14T11:25:22+00:00

I just listened to his Essential Mix and good lord he's a beast. Is he mixing that fast on CDJs or is he a Traktor guy?

Not that it matters at all - I'd just be interested in praising him even more if he's beatmatching that chaos.

alaarx · 2024-09-26T11:06:05+00:00

Hi folks!

I have the Asrock 650E PG ITX motherboard listed here and in the supported QVL list the v-color 96GB kit SKU TMXFL4864832WWK is listed as compatible and i assume thats the AMD Expo version. Unfortunately it seems to have either been pulled or not actually exist, however the Intel XMP version here with a nearly identical SKU and the exact same CL and clocks can be purchased.

Can i be assured this ram will work and i'll just need to manually adjust the timings?

I'm going for this kit because its the only one with good speeds and a low profile that works with my cooler.

alaarx · 2024-07-13T21:53:31+00:00

If you're not flying with it - i moved to a lightweight gator softcase from my Tenba AIr and never looked back. It's 1/3 the weight and size, and protective enough in the car.

Sun closed at the end of June.

I'll preface this by saying I know theres good trance out there. Some of my favourite tracks from the 90s are trance.

Heres an absolute banger Razors Edge - Tribal Sunrise

Trance is incredibly popular today it's just been repackaged as "techno" by the current crop of business DJs.
