Yeah, that’s so much effort, I’d want to be paid extra for it.

Don’t do drugs, kids.

Well, not this many.

I mean, if you’re not looking at just coding, Tyler bringing us Schedule 1 was pretty bad ass in many ways.

One of the reasons I switched was just being sick of dealing with Windows issues, the time spent troubleshooting, having to constantly tinker. And despite all the users out there, the frequency of hitting a dead end and just having to deal with it was common enough.

So after yet another Windows-fuelled rage and four glasses of wine, “Fuck it! I’ll see what everyone’s raving about…”

An hour later…

It’s going to look tacky. You’ve seen what he’s done to the Oval Office. It’ll be $230M for that slap-dash look of awful design populated with gilded nonsense to try seem classy.

For now

That explains eruptions in the fermentation stage.

I believe so, yes?

It’s all situational. A skirt is better than both if you’re not doing anything where a seam is needed. But I’d rather hike or swim in something with trunks.

Take away your opinion, and then there is taken away the complaint, ‘I have been harmed.’ Take away the complaint, ‘I have been harmed,’ and the harm is taken away.

A person being offended by someone ghosting them is entirely up to that person. Coincidentally the kind of characteristic that some people rather ghost.

I really appreciate Commander Shepard (whoever the male is) when you select renegade options only. The voice lets out stoic, brazen, unfiltered bullshit that somehow fits in with everything going on. It’s like the serious version of Zapp Brannigan. I wouldn’t be surprised if Seth Green (Joker) influenced it and how to deliver it.

Also, John Marsden in RDR1. If you’re not American and know little about their Wild West era, that voice delivery is such a big layer of immersion, whereas other voice acting can really disconnect you from the experience. It being the voice of you helps with feeling like a part of the world. Like compare that to the cowboy from Octopath 🤢

I also really enjoyed a lot of the voices from KCD2. Rosa and Hans are excellent.

There’s a locked liquor cabinet at my local store. It’s at the back with the wines and cheeses.

Trying to find someone to open it for you is such a mission. And because it only boasts lower end spirits, you feel like such an fiend chasing down a store member who can radio the person with the key, who takes five mins to arrive, just for a bottle of low-mid tier whiskey.

There’s $10 sake in there. On the unlocked shelf next to it you could grab a $60 merlot.

Huh, weird.

Okay, I’m definitely trying again.

Some of my older gear is fine, but an example of something that wasn’t working was my TD-27 V2 on a kit. What module is on yours?

Yeah I have tried it, but didn’t have luck unless I was driverless and that meant losing velocity. Maybe I configured wrong, it was kind of confusing but the internet said it was facing the same issues as me. Mainly this was for Roland stuff.

I was going to just get a laptop for Windows to record onto next to instruments and then transfer, but I’d rather just be able to plug into the DAW.

Yeah, peripherals lol. All my sim stuff is working brilliantly in Linux, however I still have some audio production stuff I need Windows for. Unfortunately, due to the need for minimal hardware latency and all that, Wine and VMs aren’t an option. Also a lack of drivers for some midi devices sucks.

Financially protects her employer. The police can bust someone, but it won’t get the money back. So it works two-fold. Makes trying to rip people off seem less enticing because the risks of being caught are higher than what the government can handle, this in turn also reduces financial risks for her employer too. So she’s a sought after security investment that also gets to help everyday people too.

Best way to describe it, “whitehat”. Maybe grey t times… Something cybersec actually pays well for now where it used to just be a good ethics hobby.

They were in an X-Files episode where someone was robbed/killed for them. S6E10, “Tithonus”. But, yeah, fad didn’t last long because they quickly became a bit of a “what a loser” item, even for us that were kids at the time.

Mostly fraud, scamming, identity theft, credit theft, etc. Her employer’s industry can be a breeding ground for it, so she goes hunting for them. It protects them and the government relies on the collaboration.

But there’s big responsibility. Unfortunately it seems a lot of people drag their family and friends into things by lying or scamming them too, trying to set them up as a scapegoat if they are discovered. So a big part of it is making that side of the story evident too before handing things over to the fed. Mother’s and siblings are the most frequent and hey’ll do all these fraudulent things they’re not aware of because their trusted family member with their “legitimate” business said it’s fine, so they don’t question it.

My sister does this as a job. Builds big evidence piles and then hands them to federal authorities. They do the drive up and handcuff part, then lawyers do the rest. But if it’s evidence she’s compiled, you can be sure the defence can’t do much else than minimise penalty/jail time.

The best part is she is able to do things the police can’t, then use that information to set up smoking guns that law can use.

It’s about as superhero as someone can get without getting off the computer.
