  • I'm doing pretty well! Busy lately, but still finding time for things I enjoy.

    Chaos computer club sounds cool, what kind of topics come up there?

    Nothing wrong (AFAIK) with asking here, but I think you'd dig the !casualconversation@piefed.social community.

  • Another fun one to mess around with is guitarix. It's like a modeling amp in software form.

  • LMMS is a fairly intuitive editor that makes it easy to build midi tracks and drum loops. Can't really record tho.

    Famistudio is specific to chiptune music. I think it's a tracker. Along the same lines, there's MilkyTracker. I haven't figured out how to use them, but they're neat.

  • I always thought this roguelike tutorial sounded fun. But it's probably pretty far out of date, not sure how much that matters.

  • It's at least something to explain what the title's referencing. Acknowledging that smaller audiences are often preferred doesn't really seem at odds with that. It just points to A and B having higher priority than C, right?

    But people should just read the article, it's pretty quick and has more context than the quote.

  • Key quote for the curious:

    They [the paper he's discussing] conclude that there's a community-member's "trilemma": a set of three priorities that can never be fully satisfied by any group. The trilemma consists of users' need to find:

    a) A community of like-minded people;

    b) Useful information; and

    c) The largest possible audience.

    The thing that puts the "lemma" in this "trilemma" is that any given group can only satisfy two of these three needs. It's hard to establish the kinds of intimate, high-trust bonds with the members of a giant, high-traffic group, but your small, chummy circle of pals might not be big enough to include people who have the information you're seeking.

  • When I was very young my mom was making bread with beer and I begged her to let me try it. Finally she relented that I could have a sip. I took one smell of the can and never had really had interest in trying again.

    Thought when it became legal for me, but figured I would either waste 5 bucks if I hate it or become an alchoholic if I don't. Don't trust myself enough to assume I'd always stay moderate with stuff like that.

    Now that I'm older, I've seen plenty of friends get deep into it then struggle through getting sober. Feel like I made good decisions.

  • It's gotta be The Cool S.

  • Hopefully this initiative sticks, sounds like my next phone (eventually) might just be Motorola/Graphene.

  • And thanks for being on Lemmy! Try to keep in mind that all the less-active-than-you'd-hope communities need your help. Engage where you can to support the community building effort, it makes a difference here.

  • Nice. Yeah, it's a fun topic, thanks for starting it!

    JustinGuitar is great for sure. It's a little frustrating that he doesn't put tabs in the videos - sometimes that would save a lot of time. But you can get those too if you sub I guess. The song lesson library there is also super helpful.

  • The question was a fun excuse to think about some old tutorials I've seen, and dig through the bookmarks. Any subject is a pretty broad ask tho. Out of curiosity, why do you ask? Are you just thinking about learning something new for the fun ot it?

  • Funny to see this, I was just going through some old playlists today and listened to some Extol. Not one I think about often, but a fun band!

  • There's an old Mitch Hedberg joke that goes something like "This shirt is dry clean only, which means... it's dirty"

    I think the same applies exactly for dishes that aren't dishwasher safe. I have a dishwasher but my sink still has a pile of dishes waiting.

  • Yeah, there are some I still follow. Love to see that they're still kicking, here and there.

  • NodeBB seems like a really cool thing. Forums never should have been abandoned!
