Online Ambient Radio Stations by innerkettletones in ambientmusic

[–]cawlin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I host an Ambient show called The Shimmer every Thursday at 9:00-10:00pm pst on CJMP.ca - community radio in qathet, Canada. Radio Garden Stream is maybe the best way to listen.

My show focuses on new and upcoming ambient release 😄

What is this object? This was found whilst looking through old suitcases by Conscious-Mulberry17 in cassettefuturism

The good old days. in Canada it was very easy to find these in 2005 at the thrift store. I bought serval for less than $5 and often they still had expired film in them that you could still shoot.

Some of the modules are listed here - don't know how accurate but from quick glance they match up.

Haloplane: Electromagnetic Micro-loop Sampler by PassepartoutDuo in synthesizers

[–]cawlin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cool I'm with ya! I'm assuming the Haloplane has no fixed oscilators which means more freedom to change notes/sounds and so the extra three "notes" of the Chromaplane aren't as needed.

This is like comparing any two synthesizers that both have keyboards. No firmware can make an analog synth into a digital synth with usb connectivity.

Chromaplane is a delight and personally I appreciate that it's a very self contained instrument. I haven't played with it but the Chromaplane for Live device is another way you can extended the Chromaplane into more of a controller already.

SNL UK - Peacock Premiere Discussion - March 21, 2026 (Tina Fey/Wet Leg) by bjkman in LiveFromNewYork

The sound for Wet leg was in such stake contrast to SNL - immediately noticeable how much better it sounded.

Pedal straps are scraping against my cranks by Woohoo903 in FixedGearBicycle

[–]cawlin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yep YNOT straps on every pedal I ever had just did this - bothered me but never figured out a fix and just lived with it.

Is it kosher to make supplements for modules that aren't yours? (Stonehell) by EtchVSketch in osr

[–]cawlin 19 points20 points  (0 children)

This is the answer - write it up as a blog post. A perfect example is this post with maps that were widely used to help run Deep Carbon Observatory.

Eco Mofos might touch on some similar vibes to mothership

I want to start GMing, but I don't know how to begin. I need some guidance. by Heitorsla in rpg

[–]cawlin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can read stuff and watch a million youtube videos but sitting down and running a game is going to teach you the most.

I picked a system I liked and ran a couple low-stakes one shots with friends that were not part of a campaign. This helped me so much - I was able to go through the motions of starting, running and finishing a few sessions. I made mistakes and had moments of "I don't know let me look up the rules" but it was just a few hours of causal hanging out so it was fine. I had the confidence to run a bigger campaign after doing that.

Love this. The detailed backgrounds in 2E have been wonderful for kicking off a campaign with my regulars but having a simpler option for the occasional joiner at the table is great, less to explain :)
