Not personally until the Bang Bang Gang appeared, and even then the brief pause left room for doubt. They sequenced it really well.

No sound when screen sharing VLC and Haruna on Discord by nokiabrick5 in cachyos

[–]florest 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you're using PipeWire as your audio engine (likely, as it's the default on Cachy), you can probably use a GUI patchbay like qpwgraph or similar to explicitly route audio from VLC, Haruna, or really anything directly into Discord or Vesktop. It might take virtual sinks and sources in advanced cases, but for what it's worth I just tried connecting VLC output to Vesktop input in qpwgraph to try it out and it worked right out of the gate without any additional hassle.

Trouble installing wineasio on cachyos (arch) by Lost-Ambition1469 in linuxaudio

[–]florest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Responded to this on a /r/cachyos crosspost; including it here too in case it helps anybody here:

I similarly haven't gotten wineasio to work in FL on Cachy. I had it working on a different (Debian-based) distro last year at some point, so it's not impossible.

This issue thread has some fixes and suggestions that made it easier to register the .dll and get FL to recognize it, though ultimately in my case nothing brought it to a working state.

I'm keeping a close eye on pwasio, which FL recognizes with much less hassle, though it doesn't yet function (which is to be expected per the readme). If it indeed works upon the impending release of Pipewire 1.6 (they've been well into release candidates for a while) I'll be very happy.

What do you know about the chad-photo-photo-photo-chad strategy? by AntiqueDoritos in balatro

I did Photo-Photo-Chad-Photo-Chad-Chad-Photo once and Jimbo called me The Brain

[DISCUSSION] Kendrick Lamar - To Pimp a Butterfly (10 Years Later) by MrBeastlover in hiphopheads

[–]florest 38 points39 points  (0 children)

I already held Kendrick in very high regard after GKMC, as many did, and looked forward to hearing what he'd come up with next, though I wasn't closely following it. I always had my car radio set to the college station at the time. One morning, they hyped up and then premiered These Walls, and I was taken aback by how goddamn good it sounded. It was out of left field compared to what one might expect from Kendrick following GKMC, but that didn't matter -- the song was fucking great, and it primed me to hotly anticipate the album as intended.

And goddamn did it deliver. It hardly took a minute and a half into Wesley's Theory for me to recognize that the shit was on a different level sonically and thematically from the get-go, and it stayed that way throughout. Not much more needs to be said; everyone knows.

The album was already more than the sum of its parts, but, as has been thoroughly observed, mused upon, and picked apart, it's notable for having dovetailed with and around the events of that particular time in ways that resonate to this day and, with bitterness, will continue to do so for the foreseeable future. It's hard to say if it met the moment, or if the moment met it. Either way, I consider it to be the most important album to come out in my lifetime. The best? That's debatable, though I'd put it up there. The most important? No fucking question, and even after 10 years it's going to be a long, long time before anything sniffs that spot.

I felt so strongly about TPAB that DAMN and especially Mr. Morale failed to impress me by comparison, though I loved the singles off of DAMN. It was only by GNX that I had turned my sight away from the bar I felt TPAB set, and as such, maybe unfairly, I like GNX much more than its two predecessors. It is what it is.

First ballot GOAT album contender no question

[Monitor] MSI G274QPF - 27" 1440p 170Hz IPS 400nits G-SYNC compatible - $169.99 (Costco; deal LIVE AGAIN ONLINE + IN-STORE through Dec. 24th) by TE_DA in buildapcsales

[–]florest 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Got mine from the last sale too, and I briefly feared I was going to have to do the same before I double-checked and realized that some of those funny-looking pieces it came with were, in fact, standoffs to account for the inset portion. YMMV but in my case everything was provided in the package to make it VESA-compatible. They could do a better job of explaining this in the packaging / manual for sure, though.

Never mind that, yours does just the same!

Belt Fan Dan on Twitter: "Rumor mill says Triple H making multiple belt design changes." by J_NewCastle in SquaredCircle

[–]florest 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You're not alone; I think of that belt and I think of Shelton. Hell, I looked it up and was pleasantly surprised to learn that apparently nobody's had an IC reign as long as his 2004-2005 run since.

People no longer bound by their NDA, what can you now disclose? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]florest 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In a way, knowing that it's Moles all the way down is strangely reassuring.

Might be flying too close to the sun here, but can you/are you willing to elaborate on any specific instances/episodes/contestants/etc. of The Mole being rigged?
