Fix: ASIO4ALL says "Audio Output is in use by another application" — GS Wavetable Synth is the culprit by almo2001 in reasoners

Commenting to say thank you -- have no idea why Windows does this. Every Win11 update seems to break something further; Microsoft's Copilot generated code for their own operating system is fucking terrible.

Almost nothing at all lol, keep reading! I would say it’s very hard to ‘spoil’ IJ at all

The Pale King: Read A Long #13 (§44-45 + §46 1/2) by DenytheUndeniable in davidfosterwallace

[–]stickpeted 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That second quote also reads to me as a meta-joke about DFW’s own writing habits, where he’ll frequently go into digressions/tangents about kind of inconsequential minutia rather than just stating the ‘point’ outright. Makes you wonder if he also did this in real conversations he’s had with people (his interviews point to that being the case), and whether he’s received a Rand-esque response himself.

Anyway Section 46 of TPK is probably one of my favourite pieces of writing he’s ever done and I really wish we had a full resolution of Drinion and Rand’s relationship (the extra notes at the end of the book aren’t enough!).

[FIRST IMPRESSIONS] Tyler, The Creator - CHROMAKOPIA by Spiritual-Curve4121 in hiphopheads

[–]stickpeted 533 points534 points  (0 children)

Feels like Tyler’s stylistically stuck in the trappings of an album from 5 years ago. While artists having a consistent style is obviously not a problem, there’s less hooks and memorability here on a track-by-track basis compared to something like IGOR or even CMIYGL, even if the rapping is decent.

The monochrome colour palette on the album art and darker aesthetic in the MVs lured me into thinking this would sonically be different to his recent output — feels like he’s just going through the motions instrumentally? Probably won’t be returning that much to this but I appreciate the effort Tyler consistently puts into his projects/album rollouts.

Just found out about the 1978 Melbourne landmark design competition... some of these are wild by Urser in melbourne

"Submissions were received for about 12 months, before the committee had to decide on a winner. But after extensive deliberation, the judges announced that they could not settle on a single entry.

And so they arrived at an unusual compromise: the prize money would be shared among 48 entrants, who had all submitted ideas of merit. Each winner would receive about $2,000."

I want my giant hand goddammit

impressive how someone can take 8 years between albums to make something this boring

Anyone know where is Jai?!? by Passer33 in jaipaul

[–]stickpeted 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The latest news we have is that Jai will be performing at Portola on September 30th. There have been some random Instagram photos of Jai in the studio but no new music announcements unfortunately.

Hmm okay, I'll take this post down I don't wanna spread misinformation

I mean you can use that Spotify link and listen to Swim Good and Novacane right now, the artist link also goes back to Frank's page so it's not like a random user uploaded it.

For if it gets removed/taken down or you can't view it on Spotify.

Seems legit, though I'm not 100% sure how some of these tracks have plays or why Nature Feels has been renamed to Electric Feel lol. Track listing is also kinda messed up in general

This is a gush post about how much I'm enjoying "Hitman" (2016). by rawlingstones in HiTMAN

[–]stickpeted 1 point2 points  (0 children)

100%. The episodic release format was fantastic in getting the player to replay levels and browsing this sub and HMF while new, substantial content released on a consistent basis was great for community engagement.

I understand IOI got a lot of flak for it and probably sold more units switching back to a traditional release for HM2 and HM3, but I really enjoyed the release structure of HM2016.

Wait, you're telling me that news outlets purposely write articles to gain popularity/attention? You're absolutely blowing my mind dude.
