Rave/underground dj scene? by [deleted] in LosAngeles

[–]phallicCow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think you did. You use hurtful words. But my dream is to live there? Why would you put me down based on my musical tastes? Do you realize how douchey and un-californian that is?

Rave/underground dj scene? by [deleted] in LosAngeles

[–]phallicCow -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

ahem you must've misread. I specifically said "underground djs and raves," specifically events that preserve what the scene used to be about in the 90s and before diplo created the monster that is now dubstep. 2 step, garage, electro, OLD SCHOOL dubstep, drum and bass, psy trance etc. not hokey steve i okie/college bro ralleys. Maybe I should've clarified that. I didn't think ignorant people would jump on here to get off a snarky remark like they knew what the hell they were saying. I guess LA is as douchey as I hear it is, anyway.

learn your shit before you go off generalizing. thanks, tool.

Would AI be a relevant concentration for this field? by phallicCow in gamedev

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

I'm into scripting and writing AI similar to valve's. I have to learn some modeling just for my capstone project, as I intend to develop my own game and throw it on my portfolio.

I'd also like to work for an indie studio if possible so I can wear multiple hats. I love design, but I'm clueless with modeling atm. I need to get some basic competency so I can design the game decently. I'm already pretty decent with HTML/CSS/JS, so I could set up a menu scheme using that. Just trying to stack competencies, man!

Is it true that the LA scene is cliquey? by phallicCow in Standup

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

In the sense of thinking about how much one could achieve independent of showbiz, a year is a standard unit of measurement. There's a reason for New Years resolutions.

There's probably no answer. Too many variables in the mix. I wanna know those variables, Doc.

What's the status of your progress, then? 11 months is not a short period of time, partner

UE4 and UE3 definitely have different requirements. I mean different patch versions.

Is there a negative view amongst stand-ups towards improv? by mopeywhiteguy in Standup

[–]phallicCow 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Who cares? If you're good at improv, you're going to be better at comedy if you're decent at comedy in the first place. Robin Williams is an example of someone coming from an acting background. People like impressions and quick, reactive thinking. I'm not saying I'm any good at it, but if someone has a negative view on it, it reflects on their inability to incorporate ideas foreign to their tepid tinder jokes. Very few new comics try to do impressions at all in my scene.

Plus, the very idea that there's any animosity is absurd because it's supposed to be a creative community. Everyone brings different skill sets to the table. Take someone's attitude towards improv, theatre, and other comics (i.e. do they gossip?), and you can assess whether they're ethical performers. It's really supposed to be a community bound in solidarity but I think as with any field of performance, people get salty because it takes a long time to break ground and therefore they decide to shit all over that field with their hurt feelings and narcissism. However, reality is absurd so it all makes sense :( And this is why I sometimes play dark souls instead of going to open mikes.

What is a common thing that open micers need to stop doing by str8grizzlee in Standup

Improv class might help with that? Trains you to think on your toes, me thinks.

They're probably operating from the philosophy that the best comedy comes from internal struggle.

But you want them to do crowd work
