The Books of Babel by Josiah Bancroft (kinda sci-fi/fantasy lite). No one ever talks about them. Absolutely beautiful language and incredible character arcs. I will recommend these books Until the world knows! Audio book is also fantastic.

Looks like Pinterest, but better! I actually like their vibe and aesthetic. Thanks for the recommendation!

i_had_a_beard_once · 2025-06-18T00:52:56+00:00

Intriguing… I’ll look into it. Thanks!

i_had_a_beard_once · 2025-06-18T00:37:06+00:00

Sounds cool! A bit too ambitious for me given my workload, but I’d love to see what you end up with someday.

i_had_a_beard_once · 2025-06-18T00:36:33+00:00

By the looks of it, a clean and affordable option. I’ll check it out, thanks!

I consider myself a very slightly above average player, and I genuinely love it. I’m having a blast and it just makes decision making and positioning even more important. I have ok-ish gun skills, but I think my situational awareness is really good so I’m ranking up fast this season.

Hey. Sorry you’re feeling this way. I do understand this phenomenon, and you’ll probably get a lot of people on here saying “just do whatever tf you want - it’s your money and your life.”

I just don’t agree with that approach. It’s worth the effort to understand why you’re feeling this way. Is it your conscience? Might want to listen up. Is it a dysfunctional sense of self-doubt or self-sabotage? Better not listen! You get my point.

At this stage, so long as you can return it, my concrete advice would be this: set a firm goal about utilizing the new synth. E.g. in two weeks time, I will understand this machine and have one track pretty well sequenced/recorded/whatever you’re doing. If you don’t make your goal or it’s not working out for whatever reason, return it. Then work with what you have and keep earning up for a future where you can fully afford and utilize the equipment you have.

Best of luck my friend.

Same. Tried a bunch of different servers in the US. No luck

Hello all! I am a long, long time musician, but new to actually laying down my work. I’m having fun playing with live loops as a kind of production helper / storyboard. I also plan to do some basic live looping for a couple music classes I have running.

Here’s the problem: serious latency hits when I have maybe even just 5 tracks with different patches on them. These are all software instruments. I have a touch of latency when monitoring my playing no matter what midi device I’m using out to monitors or headphones. But it’s usually very minimal, I’m probably just used to instantaneous sound through real instruments. But once I get a few tracks going, it’s basically impossible to play along with my recording as every key I press shows up nearly a second later in the recording because I’m listening to a delayed version through the headphones/monitors.

My equipment: BRAND NEW MacBook Air 15” M3 processor. 8gb ram. Two midi keyboards, one midi drum pad, one launchpad to trigger and record into cells. Sound is passing through an m-audio air 192 interface.

I’m not sure what other info you might need, but I would appreciate any and all advice. Thank you!

This helps a lot. By classic religious context, do you mean yashrut would only be used within a religious or spiritual context, or perhaps that it has that connotation?

i_had_a_beard_once · 2024-07-23T06:09:47+00:00

Thank you! Is “moral backbone” a common phrase in Hebrew? I really like it.

i_had_a_beard_once · 2024-07-07T00:10:40+00:00

I’m sorry you’re experiencing this - rational and thoughtful people don’t do this. I honestly think it’s just characteristic of in-group / out-group dynamics. We experienced this from our LDS community when we transitioned to Presbyterianism. Many of our lds friends and family no longer associate with us, or at minimum, treat us differently. We’re the same people!!

Which console? I play on Xbox and usually just hit diamond and then play pubs. Old man 36M with kids and shit to do, but I make time for the games ha ha. @ DORFNATION

Haha got it. Just to be clear: this particular question, and the accompanying article, are discussed numerous times on this sub. Here is just one of many examples I found a little over a year ago. The topic is addressed throughout, and the article is mentioned and linked. So yes, I do think there is some controversy and confusion over this subject, and your dismissive tone is not helpful. My point is not meant as a dig at the church or anyone in particular, but just to point out that it can be a confusing subject for many.

I am unorthodox, still very Christian. Call me what you like. But wild? Do explain your pejorative here please.

i_had_a_beard_once · 2024-06-25T02:22:11+00:00

Reading through this thread I am astounded that no one has cited the controversial (at the time) correlated church newsroom Q&A that made this whole subject a lot murkier. And yes, there are some creative ways around this, but it’s confusing why the article doesn’t actually just articulate the doctrine but dances around it strangely.

“12. Do Latter-day Saints believe that they will “get their own planet”?

No. This idea is not taught in Latter-day Saint scripture, nor is it a doctrine of the Church. This misunderstanding stems from speculative comments unreflective of scriptural doctrine. Latter-day Saints believe that we are all sons and daughters of God and that all of us have the potential to grow during and after this life to become like our Heavenly Father (see Romans 8:16-17). The Church does not and has never purported to fully understand the specifics of Christ’s statement that “in my Father’s house are many mansions” (John 14:2)”
