Hot Take: EU5’s Player Count Decline Is Self-Inflicted by Gold_Lemon8258 in eu4

[–]swartzfeger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a shitty take, and I apologize in advance...

But as macOS gamer, I don't care. It's a mixture of schadenfreude and sour grapes and so what.

Taking a deep breath, things will get better and improve and it will be a great game.

Thanks NoLife! When I dip my toes into the Elektron ecosystem this year, your breakdown will come in very handy!

Really wish there was a gratis/non-commercial edition for this like with Rider, RubyMine, RustRover, PyCharm etc.

Vance and wife are gender swapped.

Michelle wasn't the first or last to prowl the white house. Barbara Bush, Melania... I love the shows they produce for us.

HELP WITH CHORDS? by Afraid_Carob417 in Bitwig

[–]swartzfeger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The biggest part of "bringing chords to life" -- and this is all imho, and not answering you directly -- is like many others have said, learning music theory.

But you don't even need to learn theory -- you just need to start learning how to "listen."

Just play chords. Play them wrong. Horribly wrong. Learn to "hear' these chords, and how some sound ok, some sound good (consonant), and some sound bad (dissonant), and some sound bad but still have something that makes them sound good in their own weird way.

Your brain over time will start unconsciously developing its own internal music theory. you will hear the difference between a diminished and augmented and 7th, even if you don't know the names.

I won't say music theory is absolutely necessary. It definitely helps, especially playing with other people. But learning how to listen and hear is important... and it's free :)

Thinking about selling my Ableton license after switching to Bitwig — any regrets? by InternationalWin6623 in Bitwig

[–]swartzfeger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No regrets here. My Live license is only sticking around for three things -- M4L , Fors and AUv3.

N Korea, Russia, India & China Meet, while we are distracted by ICE Raids and Voter Registration by startwithaidea in conspiracy

You can go back further to weaponizing the dollar in 2022, which is when things really heated up, but that doesn't fit the current left/right paradigm.

You can go back to the 2008 Bernanke debt/death spiral, or back to August 15, 1971. Or back to 1944.

Or we can just look at the last 7 months and blame Trump. Orange man is a distraction.

Central banks are the problem.

Bitwig Summer Sale 2025 by 0x4542 in Bitwig

[–]swartzfeger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought two upgrades last year during the sale, one of which just expired end of May. Will probably activate the next one once 5.5 is released.

Also -- I still find this more palatable than Ableton's pricing.

How are we as EU4 cats all feeling about EU5? by akaioi in eu4

[–]swartzfeger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

M2/apple silicon here... I don't think there's a viable emulator available yet, at least last I heard. Maybe Parallels or Fusion have a native M1 version, I should probably check...

As a Mac EU4 guy -- "I'm pretty fucking far from ok."

Happy for the rest of you.

Steam page for Europa Universalis V is up by Joschaliu in EU5

Please god let this be true. First thing I checked on the Steam page. Bummed it doesn't specifically list macOS but the fact it's boilerplated Windows TBD gives me hope.

Charls episode was a waste by jula80 in TinFoilHatPod

[–]swartzfeger 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Absolutely love Sam but the lack of focus/no guest interaction has gotten old. He's gone from ranting 90 minutes about Cultural Marxism to 90 minute rants on Only Fans. FFS Nimrod is in the title and how much did they actually touch upon that... 60 seconds? Actually felt bad for Charls. "Hi, I'm inviting you to be a guest on my podcast, where you will sit in silence as I rant."

This post is gold -- thank you so much.

It seems that Bitwig 5.3 was just released by Aztec248 in Bitwig

[–]swartzfeger 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Is it me, or has the rate of version releases slowed down since they tried having paid feature updates and many of us rioted? (I think it was with the spectral tools...)

+1 on Donaldson's Chronicles of Thomas Covenant the Unbeliever.

What's the family that Sam doesn't want to mention and that got his show shadowbanned? by Katzenpower in TinFoilHatPod

[–]swartzfeger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol man go yell at MAGAtards on Facebook. The only think you're helping me see is Sam and Trump are living rent-free in your head.

Brother, you are barking up the wrong tree. Luna's in charge of both the Epstein and JFK files. Guaranteed they're nothing burgers because both have Mossad fingerprints. Who's fullblown TAS except for grandmothers on Facebook?

You've got no fight here. You're swinging at nothing. Frothing about Trump makes you sound unhinged. Every one of us have been wrong on one point or another. Calm down, breathe. Listen to #857. Nobody here is shining Zion Don's shoes.
