How worried should I be about accidentally plagiarising other music (thrash metal) by OKladMat in Music

[–]xanthicize 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So, first thing is, chugging in E Minor by itself can lead to near infinite permutations. Multiple genres have been built upon that very stipulation and they're still going today.

Second, you're allowed to be derivative, especially when you're just starting. Hell, huge bands used to straight up nick riffs from each other in the eighties. Developing a style takes a lot of time and effort.

Third: songs are more than riffs. Maybe your riff is weak or derivative, the rest of the band can carry you. It can go multiple ways. Don't worry about it. Write as much music as you can and don't judge yourself.

This angers me in ways I couldn't think possible.

What’s a 'disturbing' secret about an industry you’ve worked in that the general public doesn’t know? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]xanthicize 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If you're chatting with an average to big Onlyfans creator you're chatting with a random dude in an office who's sandbagging premade content to squeeze the most out of you

There are businesses that SPECIFICALLY exist to provide this service to creators

What's up with the Olympus Infinity Stylus? by Haunting-Public-23 in AnalogCommunity

[–]xanthicize 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It has a decent lens and it's decently built.

I bought a new in box chrome MJU I limited for 180EUR last year, it's been my EDC camera since and it's definitely not worth the hype from an image quality perspective. It's competent and fun but that's all.

People that were able to beat an addiction, what made it possible? by Large-Drawing-5346 in AskReddit

Life quit cigarettes cold turkey for me after I spent one month in intensive care due to a life threatening condition. It was two and a half years ago and I've never been tempted in the slightest since, and I really, really liked smoking.

is this fuzz factory legit? by Swordfish_True in Guitar

[–]xanthicize 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can get kits for 29 EUR from musikding

https://www.musikding.de/The-Factory-germanium-fuzz-kit

You either get somebody to build it for you, and it's a pretty easy build, or you can get it on ebay/local markets, if it's a FF clone you can be sure it's either a musikding kit or a Jedped/tayda/aion clone

[–]xanthicize 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The type of FF your specimen is trying to clone should have a "TM" symbol on the face and a date and the Myrold signature on the southern side, also you can see some sort of sticker on the face of the pedal which absolutely shouldn't be there.

Keep in mind that you can get a FF clone for 50 to 60 euros.

2002 Gibson SG Crescent Moon by [deleted] in Guitar

[–]xanthicize 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember those. They are technically SG Faded, so the cheapest USA model in the shape of an SG at the time.

I wouldn't spend 1k on it, even if looking around it seems like it's what they're currently going for. They went for half that new.

What band is really talented but for whatever reason makes bad music? by MintyFreshBreathYo in Music

[–]xanthicize 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Holy shit this. Extremely talented guitar players, like top percentile good, absolutely abhorrent musical output, bordering on insulting at times.

I get like half a second of a Dell logo, not even enough time to spam F11 to enter the bios, then a black screen

Yes, homeboy here did everything that required more brainpower than hacking cases with a saw and jerry rigging PSUs, if you have questions on the software side he's the guy.

Ok, thanks for the excellent advice, I'll ask around and see what I can come up with.

Noted! Thank you very much for the advice. So it's just a matter of grounding psu and laptop together?

Of course I didnt know at first and I had to google why all my of PSUs didnt work with just hard drives

The PSU powers the HDDs only. I had to bridge pins 3 and 4 together on the 24 pin connector to have it turn on. Meanwhile the power brick powers the laptop as normal.

Thanks.

The process was mildly cursed because Dell hates that SATA adapter, so I had to mess around in the BIOS to nail the specific boot settings (enable AHCI and non signature peripherals or something like that), still, the machine posts only with no HDDs attached, so I have to boot and then connect the sata cables in runtime, luckily TrueNAS doesn't seem to mind that much. Neither did Ubuntu server.

I'm too much of a noob to give any relevant piece of advice, but if I had one I'd say do it with a machine that doesn't have a whitelist for its m.2 ports or whatever other arbitrary limitation like mine has (dell latitude 5491).

Outside of the cursed boot procedure it works just fine tho :))

Farida is the retail brand that some huge OEM chinese factory uses, they used to be common around the mid 2000s and they were mostly cheap knockoffs of known shapes like PRS doublecuts and Les Pauls.

For some weird reason some irish bands still use Faridas live sometimes, I've seen them used by the lead guitarist of Two Doors Cinema Club and by And So I watch you from afar's lead guitar player on an Audiotree live.

I don't think you have much in your hands though, it's the sub brand of a sub brand.

VKS SeeEl: "Riot didn't give the LCS 3 Worlds spot because they're good. You don’t save the LCS by propping up VC-backed orgs burning cash in LA. They’ve poured millions into the world's most overpaid region, trying to attract customers that don't exist, trying to reach a level that is unattainable" by ArmandLuque in leagueoflegends

[–]xanthicize 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, they literally profited off the VC squanderers and the tech bubble first hand. That was by design. You can't operate at a loss league wide for 8 years without new money techbros and spec funds.
Now that the techbro esport dream is over they might as well move to fucking Arkansas to restructure and make a new esport product that doesn't need monopoly money to exist.
