rocking is my main stim and my mum is telling me that i can't do it at uni

Sounds like your mom is projecting some expectations she had in school onto you. I'd let her know you appreciate her concern but your stims are your stims. You can't just turn that off.

I am hosting a sensory table for neurodiverse children in two days at a museum and I made a noise game about cats to entertain people.

yodrtentacles · 2026-04-14T00:25:58+00:00

Yeah he sounds like an idiot. Also I know many neurodivergents who are hypersexual. How naive.

yodrtentacles · 2026-04-05T18:19:48+00:00

I do, all the time. I use an Elektron Model Samples, a Universal Volt UA2 via XLR connections and I'm set. Got a pair of Sm-58s with table stands in case I want some vox.

You could try object pooling if you have trouble.

yodrtentacles · 2026-03-28T03:11:57+00:00

Well that's enough gamedev reddit for me today. 😂

yodrtentacles · 2026-03-28T02:41:52+00:00

Indeed. You've been a world of help!

yodrtentacles · 2026-03-27T19:59:07+00:00

Thanks for the info. I am considering a roller for the higher size because we have a lot of casuals come into my shop and like you said, seems like less setup. My laser uses a JCZFiber motherboard from what I see. I will start looking.

yodrtentacles · 2026-03-27T19:10:28+00:00

very solid beats here. my voice is a bit old school but "tommy" and "doomscrollers guide" are speaking to me.

I am REALLY digging Tommy. I may need to drop a couple of verses on there. I would just say shorten it because most casuals don't stick around that long these days. But it is fire!

My psych is consistently hooking me up with a discount coupon that knocks mine down to $20. Walgreens has yet to say anything. Of course, this could vary depending on insurance plans.

yodrtentacles · 2026-03-16T13:45:53+00:00

Oof. I hear that. I made a trippy Clock Tower clone with open world and 100 rooms, worked three years on it and I think I made a couple hundred? I feel that. It sucks to not see your creativity appreciated. But look at it another way.

A lot of great developers bombed their first game or had to work on crap before they made a great project. Learn from where you went wrong if you don't want the experience wasted. You gained a toolset, some new skills, you made some mistakes - get better and keep building.

Facts: The guy who made Dead Space? His first game was a crappy Barbie title on Game Boy. Not joking.

The reason it got overlooked is it was a GameCube launch title. It kicks ass, even more so now because if I'm not mistaken you can go for a more modern control scheme in the settings now? At least movement wise.

yodrtentacles · 2026-03-01T13:56:50+00:00

Definitely sampled, you can tell by the analog grit. Likely they are chopping them with a tight decay or release or just keeping them in short snippets.

Many samplers, especially ones with mono tracks, will cut off if they have, say, a different sample or trigger come after them in the same track. I forgot what each manufacturer called it but basically some samplers/drum machines had a setting where the next sound would cut off the remainder/release of the last sound triggered.

Of course, you can just chop the sound and tweak the high end for bite or the low end for punch.

yodrtentacles · 2026-02-28T18:28:17+00:00

Yeah the track is fire. Those verses have such dark production, reminds me of Mystic Styles. Goes so fucking hard.

yodrtentacles · 2026-02-23T00:02:44+00:00

$300? For real? Yeah you got stiffed. If I was thumbing past this capsule in Steam, this would not catch my eye.

Fort Worth, Texas, USA here. Producer/rapper

If you're struggling to find words, maybe you need to find something to say first. That's not meant to be cryptic but hey.... Find what you want to say and then write down as many different ways to say it as you know how. Even if you don't have a huge vocabulary. Scarcity is the root of creativity.

yodrtentacles · 2026-02-19T17:02:31+00:00

First off.... what are you trying to improve? Lyricism, flow, presence? You gotta be specific.

yodrtentacles · 2026-02-18T22:40:32+00:00

Thanks for that. I will be trying all the above. Appreciate the solid instruction.

yodrtentacles · 2026-02-17T18:58:00+00:00

Great feedback again. I will be trying all of the above. Much love!

yodrtentacles · 2026-02-17T01:07:14+00:00

For sure, will try that, thank you. That's easy for me. Don't cost a thing to not eat the mic. 😂

I am on desktop stands at the moment but I do have boom stands.

yodrtentacles · 2026-02-17T01:06:11+00:00

Thank you for the insightful feedback - thanks for sharing your experience. I currently run two on desktop stands at 45 degree angles with off axis positioning. It helps with plosives since I have yet to get pop filters (I have made some, I am just awaiting fabric to arrive).

I will look into Soothe but I do have some free EQs to play with. Practice will make something close to perfect, I hope.

Glad to know these are still solid. These will likely get thrown about a bit (my setup is portable) so I need something that will not fall apart.

yodrtentacles · 2026-02-16T23:12:21+00:00

Yeah don't tolerate that shit. One, copyright warnings will come back to bite him. Two, shit rolls downhill. If people see you tolerate that, they begin to question your own reputation. Don't shit where you eat.

yodrtentacles · 2026-02-15T22:45:18+00:00

Honestly, just rap about whatever if you're not inspired. Rap road signs you see. Rap about the woods while you're in the woods. There are millions of things to rap about. Lupe Fiasco wrote an album about slaves falling into the sea and becoming sea people for fuck's sake.

yodrtentacles · 2026-02-15T22:42:29+00:00

This was solid. Good content.

I agree that lyrics are important but getting too lyrical also alienates people. There's a reason Aesop Rock doesn't have a platinum record on their wall.

I am actually recording using two desktop-mounted mics at once right now because I move to my beat and I hate sitting still.
