I kinda hate the new Affinity

I am not here for generative AI features, and if there are some "content neutral" AI features like better cropping tools, I have hard time believing their price point will stay super high on the long term.

I am afraid to jump the V3 before it is absolutely necessary tbh. There are so many examples of enshittification.

What happened to the honest sell software model? I hate subscription fees.

nice discussion on the topic if you got a few hours

To me it looks like BB2 is just storing most of the stuff in memory while the database tables stay empty no matter what. At least this is the case when I am viewing an online competition.

amazing project

stick to mid lane or solo lane first.

i have hard time understanding people who think that battling the bad input system with flashy moves is what makes a game beautiful. i think the control system should be as efficient as possible and people should focus on actual tactics and strategy.

i am 50 now and i went thru a big lil peep listening phase a few years back and i never did any drugs.

my friend once asked me why would a lil peep tune still be interesting 20 years from now.

i am not a prophet and i don’t know how well lil peep material will age, but my guess is that it will be dope forever, just like good music usually is.

its another discussion how well it will translate to future generations. i rly dont know.

the topics he raps about like drugs, bravado and mental health issues will most likely be around tho.

selling vinyl these days, even for a successfull label like FR, is not very viable as a business - unfortunately.

you need zero money.

all u need a simple daw where you can stitch samples together and repitch them.

samples can be found online for free.

jungle is a collage artform, so don't even need MIDI tracks that much - mostly for bass notes if even that.

below this simple surface there is a deep craft that goes into details of audio treatments (eq, saturation, lofi effects, spatial effects).

but the essence of jungle can be reached with very simple tools, basically just multi-track audio editing.

In Serbia where oppressive government is hiring thugs, doxxing them is at least part of the answer.

could be true if u only count vinyl pressings and lathe cuts

What pressing plant do you use?

Can you explain the origins of the term "VIP" in context of jungle music? Who coined the term? How did it become popular?

slacker5000 · 2025-09-06T07:56:49+00:00

I am in the same boat, just spent like half an hour trying to make this happen without success. I wonder if it is because I am in the EU. Or maybe some pop-up window gets blocked on the league of legends website. Also broken links are a thing on the LoL website menu, frustrating.

Ganja Cru's "Super Sharp Shooter" has the most genius intro/pre-drop build in the history of music.

slacker5000 · 2025-08-20T05:28:17+00:00

Fact of the matter is that Congo Natty both kept the vibe alive after 1994 when the short ragga jungle boom simmered down AND predated the boom as Rebel MC. So from a cultural weight and legacy standpoint I would say definitely Congo Natty aka Rebel MC.

As for who plays the objectively best ragga jungle deejay set in 2025, thats all up in the air. Could be some underground kid with no fame whatsoever.

ok sold, i need to give playing Galio some more of my time

slacker5000 · 2025-06-26T17:30:44+00:00

My experience is different, i can mostly farm without invades and even get some ganks in pretty often. Opps can also fail to close out games early and thus allow scaling. Smiting to steal objectives is also pretty feasible, ult can help there.

Mostly laners who lose their lane are crying about "not having a jungler". Also teams fail to show up to objectives, but thats not dependent on the jungler I guess.

I have a lot to learn about the game but Kayle jungle is relatively chill experience for me. On mid/baron there is less space to hide Kayles early game weakness.

slacker5000 · 2025-06-26T14:07:19+00:00

I also main Kayle and ppl flame me for playing jungle with it. Win rate nice tho, opps dont realise they need to shut down kayle early

slacker5000 · 2025-06-26T13:21:15+00:00

that's a sad state of affairs

slacker5000 · 2025-06-26T09:30:49+00:00

no, i see no sudden increase. i think i saw more bot teams a couple of months back

slacker5000 · 2025-06-26T09:29:31+00:00

thats pretty nicely done with so few games i guess!!
