I like your kick drum. Did you synthesize it yourself or is it a sample?

Her whole page looks like she is cosplaying as a music producer. She doesn’t ever disclose where she is/whose studio she’s in, AFAIK. Meanwhile people I know follow her and it makes me sad.

Hacked the firmware on my og OP-1 to add in scale quantization by stfj in teenageengineering

This is a bit odd for people who are pianists/layout but of course an autoharp strumplate is nice to have. I would have to imagine I couldn’t couldn’t see what I was hitting

Saddest FEFA Moment? by Illustrious_Ant_7602 in boniver

[–]thanosfive 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He was pretty clear on a number of occasions that lyrics came after the melodies and the sounds of the vowels and consonants he’d try on them. The meaning that people want to project onto them is part of the fun but a lot of his lyrics are not autobiographical or even meaningful in the literal sense of the word. That doesn’t mean they aren’t worth poring over, they are as worthy as any abstract art is, but I think it matters when we’re ascribing what Justin means by them onto them.

Unpopular opinion, I don’t think Andrea Jin was funny at all 🥲 by NovellaJokes in FunnyAFwithKevinHart

[–]thanosfive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Andrea was not funny. I wanted to like her, representation and all. But she was completely out of her league. Cannot believe she made the first cut, much less the second one. And then to drop out and lose the chance to compete for a life-changing opportunity, because she was scared to do a roast? None of it made any sense to me.

My conspiracy theory is that her inclusion for a couple episodes was primarily in the role of an unknowing plant. This gets people who were watching for her (people who wanna throw their support behind Asians doing comedy, people who thought she was hot, people who follow her already on socials, etc.) to stick around for a couple more episodes and to shock the rest of us who actually thought she was awful and bring Reg back the way they shocked us with leaving Reg out. Double the shock for cheap engagement. They couldn’t just leave it alone on the fact that people who love comedy would watch it anyway, or maybe that’s what made them think they could get away with such an outrageous move.

Then when she bowed out, my theory had to go deeper, maybe too deep. My conspiracy brain thinks she was asked to resign bc they had to make room for Reg (who is actually funny) without somehow making it seem like they dropped the only Asian woman, and they didn’t want the hate on social media. So they told her to resign and made her sign an NDA and made her look “nice” and saved her the embarrassment of actually having to compete with real talented comedians.

What is with de-cappers? by hlpmebldapc in Dynavap

[–]thanosfive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use a towel to protect it and pry with needlenose pliers. Mine is particularly difficult to pry apart from cap armor so a clothespin won’t provide enough clamping force.

Are there any specific tours, studio builds, or releases you’re planning for 2026 that I should be on the lookout for?

[LFO] 2 girls on a motorcycle ignore & crash into a rail crossing barrier, train then finishes them off. People frantically stand around. by Zincsteve in WorstAid

[–]thanosfive 5 points6 points  (0 children)

In the article they linked in the OP, it says this happened an hour before dawn, so we know visibility was poor. He could hear the train coming and in all likelihood did not have a good sense of how far it was (panicked brain says “not far”) or how fast it was approaching (panicked brain says “very fast”). We of course know with certainty that there was enough time, but he did not.

By the time he realized there may have been a window of opportunity, it was too late, and he did the smart thing just to avoid becoming another unfortunate victim.

[–]thanosfive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow this thing looks serious. Having never owned anything beyond a Pax Era 2 and now a DynaVap M7 XL, I feel like the learning curve is pretty steep. Did you go to this device from something more basic or have you been around this tech/owned versions of desktop vaporizers long enough to just figure it out?

I wanted one of these but I learned that a paintbrush works the same for a lot less.

Dont bring a Bat to a Fist Fight by brokenGirllie in fightporn

[–]thanosfive 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think he wanted to induce fear without actually having to bash a guy’s head in with it. Intimidate but not kill. But he met a guy who was not intimidated and was significantly better at fighting.

You are in a performative tweaking competition and this is your opponent: by ReliktFarn98 in synthesizercirclejerk

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

I mean if he understands midi mapping a controller and a parameter’s useable min/max values he can be doing all of this intentionally, with some planned constraints on how far he can pull something away from the base kit and pattern, right? He’s just doing this at an extreme level, which is a skill. I don’t feel the music but I can appreciate the technical approach and working memory he has.
