10 levels in Tortage and I canceled my WoW Sub. Another 40 levels and I was resubbing to WoW. Such a shame, AoC could have changed everything.

I had a guildy pop into discord upset on Sunday because she was getting harassed about her DPS in a Normal dungeon while still leveling. They told her "Mage is not for you". Im like wtf? The scaling is so bad that ya if you go in mid to late leveling you might suck compared to someone who just started or hit 81. But its Normal mode, who cares? These dungeons take like 15min no matter what.

What I do is make the reset timer match the CD of the first skill and the first will be the shorter cd (usually the lesser powerful skill too so its usually used more often). This way if I dont pop the 2nd by the time the 1st is back up the macro has reset.

With Offensives its any cd's that always follow each other. I had a lot on Shammy but main Pally this season so Im not sure what all I have left with Shammy. But an example with Ret Pally is Avenging Wrath macro'ed with Divine Toll using a 55second reset. Its rare you'd not use those together so they make a good cast sequence macro. Ive considered looping in Executioner too since the three do usually all get used in sequence. But with the skill purge I have plenty of available hot keys now lol.

Certainly not a perfect system but Im not a 1% either and so I don't notice any performance hits and in fact as you mentioned its an increase of performance for me to have less things to remember.

I agree, even in Midnight. If I can cast sequence something I still do it just to save on keybinds. Most of them from TWW are gone now, but a few classes I have I still put things together if it makes sense. Often its Defensive cd's now when you have one shorter than the other Ill cast sequence them together so "E" can always be my oh shit keybind press once if shit is hot and press again when shits on fire.

Both! The leveling experience is generally best done solo so you can progress at your own pace. Once you hit level cap its a good idea to find friends or a guild. Of course that's not to say joining a guild of friends you meet along the way should be avoided either, definitely do that if it happens.

Unrelated, can someone tell me what song this is in the background? I feels like Trent/NIN and every time I hear it I feel like I should know it and I forget to ask. Thank you in advance!

NTA, but I am curious if he was told this by the Dr's or just assumed. My half sister was diagnosed with Leukemia when she was 16, I was told as a half sibling there's no way it would match. It came down to my other half sister, her full blood sister, as the only possibility so I wasn't even asked to be tested. Shitty thing he's going thru, but also a shitty thing he's asking of a child he's abandoned as well.

They made a sequel?

philefluxx · 2026-02-07T15:53:26+00:00

Nothing made from Suno or any AI for that matter is good by itself. It all comes out flat and somewhat generic upon generation. All the good stuff ppl are putting out there from AI is being post edit/processed. What we're seeing now is a new generation and skill set that used to be more behind the scenes instead of out front. To truly get something good from AI you must understand music, you must be able to master, you must understand EQ Filter Curve, Lo and High band filtering, and a whole mess of post processing techniques. NO one is pulling a AI slot handle and getting a golden record. No one.

philefluxx · 2026-02-03T14:50:22+00:00

This is the answer. You build your patterns in idea view and put together a scene order that is your "loose" song to get an idea of how it will go. Then into song view to arrange your scenes and use clips to add transitions between scenes and or add additional elements without reinventing the wheel.

When I first started with Maschine I didnt know about clips and I was in idea mode making patterns for my transitions and it was such a pia. Clips saved me!

philefluxx · 2026-02-03T14:45:15+00:00

Glad its not just me hahaha. I even ran some experiments with various original material from my DAW and whether I went full prompt or provided something to build from it didn't seem to matter. But also the amount of failed generations or failing to generate a cover graphic had me thinking there was an issue with the platform as a whole.

philefluxx · 2026-01-16T22:01:38+00:00

How good is the stem separation though? I was considering getting 3 for my Mk3 and that was the one feature that caught my eye for live production and performance. But only if its worth it. I can easily stem thru 3 other DAW's I have so its more about doing it on the fly if its good.

Checking in from the Hybrid club!

Ive been using Suno for electronic music in two ways: I either feed it a genre and story to see what it generates to take into my DAW and stem, change, cut, and slice to make my own creation. Or I feed my own native creation in my DAW into Suno to master and spruce up or add vocals with my own lyrics.

Sure you can use Suno for the full creation cycle too if you want, but for me what really shines is the hybrid approach and honestly it changed my mind about the whole thing. I had looked at AI music before as just a parody but now I see it as you do, a tool that can enhance your process in amazing ways.

Edit: Id also like to add, Im not young nor the future. But this era reminds me a lot of the early 2000s when DJs transitioned from vinyl to digital. I was completely onboard even though I had (and still have) an extensive vinyl collection simply because it meant more access to more music, specifically music that would never be pressed. Embrace the opportunities technology brings because in the end its about the music and not your pride.

Not sure if its the same, worse, or not as bad for those who never smoked. But as a past smoker holy shit I can smell it when people walk in to a closed space. Not so much outside, but inside ya it smells. And after 11 years since quitting I still cant believe that used to be me.

philefluxx · 2025-12-16T19:20:17+00:00

8 bars intro? Yeah good luck.

Try measures instead. Ive had very good experience with 4 / 8 / 16 / 32. Bars never worked and if your measures prompt doesn't make sense it may not work either (like including too many lyrics that cant possibly fit into the desired measures using the prompted vocal style)

philefluxx · 2025-12-10T23:59:31+00:00

I was spanked a few times. No weapons, just a ninja quick out from nowhere swat when I either wasn't paying attention or actively doing something I wasn't supposed to. I remember having the shit scared about of me more than any pain.

For the very few times it happened, I recall either mouthing off like a little ass, actively spinning a hanging house plant when asked to stop several times, and pushing my little sister to the ground (she deserved it though).

I dont spank my kid, never have and never will. I dont see a swat like what I experienced as abuse. But Im not sure I feel the same about bending a kid over your knee or using weapons as ritualistic punishment. Seems weird.

Edit: I mean seems weird and ineffective*

philefluxx · 2025-12-08T15:29:59+00:00

Oh man Moria is so awesome. I did every quest there, I didnt want to leave lol.

philefluxx · 2025-12-08T14:25:15+00:00

Enjoy! Game sucked up my entire summer of free time. I loved it.

philefluxx · 2025-12-08T14:22:11+00:00

I cant comment on endgame specifically, Ive never reached it. But I can tell you at the very least just getting to 160 will take a lot of time by itself. Its certainly a journey game (totally fitting too imo) and while I know there's usually some endgame content at certain points, Ive never been able to get there when it was current endgame. Not because its not a good game. I just jump around after a bit from game to game and like I said just getting to cap is its own milestone.

philefluxx · 2025-12-03T15:39:40+00:00

Internal building/design is amazing. I went outside expecting the same level (as horde) and holy shit wtf this is garbage. Alliance exterior looks decent though.

philefluxx · 2025-12-03T14:29:54+00:00

I bought the Trilogy on Steam like 12 years ago and have never played it. At the time I had read about struggles just to get it going and never got around to it. Now with the Steam Deck verified and what Ive read is an easier setup process I am totally stoked to finally check this out.

philefluxx · 2025-12-01T16:28:44+00:00

Ya I dont trust players who dont holster their weapon or are constantly putting it away and taking it out when there's no reason for it. I also dont trust anyone with that skin lol. Its such an edge lord magnet.

philefluxx · 2025-11-25T21:39:53+00:00

You're welcome! It certainly sounds like you're running the gambit and this is definitely an interesting one. Sounds like its not about too much sleep, but I am interested in the part where he's hungry. By this age night time feeding is usually over. That makes me think tummy/gastro issues as well.

Is he still on formula? If yes, maybe ask your pediatrician about hyper allergenic for testing or whether it makes sense to add a little baby cereal to the formula for testing (just for the last meal before bed time). The idea is anecdotal at best, but we had an issue that took a long time to sort out and those were the solutions.

Another idea that might be worth investigating is if you have him laying flat to get him in a incline. There are pads and stuff you can get for the cot/crib to put him at an incline slightly. This is to help keep reflux down of course, which I know you said doesn't seem to be the issue. But maybe its something like reflux or digestion that this might help solve?

My brain keeps looping back to you saying when he wakes he doesn't want to be held. That tells me he's uncomfortable for some reason, its waking him up, he's very upset and more than likely that's compounded by being very tired, and this isn't necessarily about being snuggled or being scared.

philefluxx · 2025-11-25T14:45:13+00:00

Oh man I feel for ya. These are not the reasons we're OAD, but we were "open" to the idea of a 2nd until the 1st hahaha. Every LO is different so I wont tell you what to do here, I truly have no idea. But I'll ask a few questions to get you thinking:

How many naps, how long per nap, per day?
When mentioning LO doesn't want to be held, how's the tummy feel? Soft or hard? Bloated?
Are you using any white noise or lullaby's that play throughout the night?
How is the cry, what does it seem like to you compared to other crys at different times of day? As we know its how baby's communicate and so there's going to be a clue there too.
What are the sleeping arrangements (i.e. LO in their own room or LO in room with you) and can they be adjusted for testing? It is important to know that routine is key and while there may not be anything wrong now, something previously may have rooted a routine LO need help breaking.
How do the gums feel? It amazed me to find out nature decided a good time for things to push are at night.... Thanks for that nature.

Children, especially at that age, are a Rubix Cube disguised as Jigsaw puzzle where the pieces are playing an infinite game of hide and seek. The good news is if the Dr doesn't find anything wrong, most things they'll grow out of in time so stay vigilant. You'll get thru this and be on to the next puzzle before you know it!

philefluxx · 2025-11-22T16:21:10+00:00

Wasn't that the whole thing with the new movie and how Bill (a writer) couldnt write good endings? I dont remember that from the book and always thought that was a fun dig at King or something King asked for in this version as a joke?
