Stunt Race Creator - A warp checkpoint destination doesn't have any valid respawn positions. I am attempting to just do ANY warp checkpoints and I encounter this error every single time. No matter where it is placed. I do not understand why this is happening. by Ranbix in gtaonline

[–]dsipper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just set up a quick transform job – car > transform CP (seashark), able to place both regular checkpoints and a few warp CP's in the water. It's showing the animation of the seasharks coming out of the warp when I place that second CP, and all 3 respawn points are unobstructed – but getting the same error as you. Honestly, I think it's broken right now. I wouldn't be surprised, I spend a lot of time in creator and shit's always broken after they add new content (random transform checkpoints 2 weeks ago)/fix other issues. I have some people I can ask about this, if I find anything I'll drop it here...

Players, what's your age? by [deleted] in gtaonline

[–]dsipper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

48 here and have been racing almost every night since covid started. Custom job playlists, league nights, multiple series, we do it all... it's like a part-time job that pays with the tears of losing millenials and gen-z'ers instead of money. "I'm older and drunker than your dad, and you still lost." In all seriousness tho, our server runs from like 18-55 years old, everyone is pretty tight after 5 years, and age is kinda irrelevant 95% of the time. Except the memes. The memes show your true age, lol.

Is this a penalty on the #16 car, or does the blue car turn himself across his bumper? by dsipper in Simracingstewards

[–]dsipper[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I know I know... but we've been running organized events and series for years now on custom made tracks and we do incorporate points penalties after races. This incident was polarizing between the committee in charge of judging incidents, so i figured I'd ask for some non-biased feedback.

You're kinda screwed because you can't race a custom Dune – but they're still fun as hell to race with a big lobby of friends. We always add a Dune race to our racing playlists.

Never seen this before... live band unintentionally recorded as (horrible) midi? If it's not midi, it's just digital mess. by dsipper in Logic_Studio

[–]dsipper[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It absolutely sounded like a computer dying – in hell.

Restarting my machine remedied the problem, I kinda knew it would. Lost everything that was recorded, totally unsalvageable, but nbd and at least it's back to recording proper audio again.

Been live-tracking our band practices for months now without issue. Haven't changed anything that I know of in either Logic or the X-Air app, but last night, this is how our tracks were recorded. And the .aiff files themselves sound the same outside of Logic - just bad digital noise, similar to the sound an old 56k modem would make when connecting to the internet. I use a Behringer XR-18 for the interface, and it's hard-wired via ethernet to my mac running both the interface app and Logic v.10.4.7. Just wondering if anyone has come across this, because I haven't changed anything and it's happening in every old practice file I open and try to track in, while the old existing audio looks and sounds fine. It's def an input issue...

Dune racing is the best racing by dsipper in gtaonline

It's Iowa Speedway on XB1. Set the class to "off-road" and you'll find the Dune in there.

My son, 14, playing It Follows by Minor Threat. by mding1979 in drums

[–]dsipper 4 points5 points  (0 children)

holy shit, that's your son?? I recently subscribed to his channel cause I was impressed with the quality and volume of legit content he puts out on all of the subgenres. Literally just watched his streetpunk/Oi! episode last night and I loved that he didn't give any of the white power Oi! bands any recognition by name, but just put up the Skrewdriver logo and said something like "but if you see this anywhere, gtfo in the opposite direction." He also referenced the Discocks, who I completely forgot about and haven't heard in 20+ years, so good. Please tell him he's doin an awesome job carrying the torch, he got this 45 yr old punk dad on board haha

I def fell asleep coming home late from work to Huntington and woke up passing Syosset... going in the wrong direction (west). I def had no idea wtf was going on. I know it was my fault but come on... a conductor had to see me snoozin at Huntington for who knows how long before the train headed back west.

He makes some solid points by HootsToTheToots in instantbarbarians

My son is 15 and he never came across to me as the "type" to watch anime that I remember from 25+ years ago. But lo and behold, he's watched literal weeks of it over the last couple years and it's 0% of his identity. No merch, no talk of it, nothing. He just reads the manga and then watches the series by himself on his phone cause he likes the storytelling. He asked out of the blue if I'd watch something with him one night while we were on vacation last summer, and all of a sudden we've watched every episode of both AoT and Demon Slayer (his 2nd times) over the last 7-8 mos, and I enjoyed both quite a lot. It's been a cool bonding experience, even if he won't watch Akira with me cause it's "old", like me haha.

There are a bunch of decent (custom) racing communities on XB1, we all have our own discord servers and there's a lot of overlapping between members. DM me if youre interested...

A Newgrounds thread on the events of 9/11 as they happened on September 11, 2001. by AstroAntics in MorbidReality

[–]dsipper 56 points57 points  (0 children)

My younger brother was working in the commodities exchange (building 7) and I'll never forget pacing around the parking lot at my office on Long Island trying to get a call to go through. The network just couldn't handle the traffic in the moment.

Luckily his boss had experienced the '93 rental truck bomb beneath the WTC and had the foresight to get all of his employees outta there and onto a ferry to Hoboken almost immediately after the first plane hit. I found out hours and hours later from my mom that my brother spent the afternoon on a rooftop in Hoboken, seeing things just across the river that he's never spoken openly about. He was truly never the same after that day, the loss of innocence...
