  • Game Pass pricing currently unchanged.

    That is because the job of Game Pass isn't to make money, it is to funnel customers into subscription services and destroy the idea that people buy games from artists.

    Game Pass either succeeds and destroys the gaming industry like spotify did to music or Microsoft will abandon Game Pass.

  • Another question about subtracting audio files from each other

    Jump

  • Yeah, you need a gate when adding in the inversed/phase shifted tone so that it only sends signal when their is signal to cancel, but that is a frequency dependent question too..

  • Another question about subtracting audio files from each other

    Jump

    1. Make two identical copies of gausian noise track

    2. Set one phase inverted and combine both tracks output in a bus/another track, they should cancel each other into silence.

    3. Send the tone track (preferably inverted) into the bus aswell so now it has 3 inputs,

    4. Add in another tone track that is phase inverted/opposite from step 3 and mixes together with step 3s output

    Now, where the fun comes in... what happens when you add fx to different parts of the signal chain so these cancellations become imperfectly dynamic and evolving. What happens when the signals cancelling have compressors with different attack and release settings? What happens when you throw a transient designer like elysia nvelope on different stages of this signal chain?

    This kind of effect isn't too unlike a basic guitar pedal comb filter just a lot more unhinged.

  • I love how upset some people get about Tilly serving on a big burly masculine warship that sometimes has the serious job of killing people.

    If a crew like this didn't have people like Tilly on it, it would have fallen catastrophically apart after the 10th crisis or so.

    Especially in this season it so obvious how Tilly's intelligence manifests in being able to bypass entire complexes of prejudice and social norms (perceived and unconscious, spoken and unspoken) whether they be human or alien, and get right to the point with somebody. In an organization that is constantly trying to establish trust with a variety of unknown actors, Tilly is an incredible asset.

    Stay angry, fools.

    edit You know what is actually hilarious, TNG failed to really use Troi's empathetic mind reading in interesting ways for most of its run, to the shows great detriment, but Tilly is basically who Troi would have been if Troi hadn't been sidelined or written to be unconfident or naive for the stupidest reasons in most episodes. Tilly regularly walks into rooms and nearly instantaneously perceives the emotional context of the people in the room (whether or not she knows them that well) and boldly addresses it head on in a way that somehow isn't overbearing, aggressive or intimidating. I don't understand how this can be understood as anything but a minor superpower.

  • Canon Connections: DIS 5x01 - Red Directive

    Jump

  • I am loving this seasons so far, does anyone know if I watch the TNG episode that this season connects too if it will spoil anything for later seasons of TNG? I am still in like season 4 or 5 as I am going through TNG, VOY and DS9 all at the same time.

  • Loved the first episode, I think the way they brought Book back made sense and I think the season set up connecting to an underutilized TNG episode is absolutely awesome, I could not be more down for this kind of season of Discovery. On to the second episode!

  • I am really gonna miss Discovery, I am not sure Doug Jones is going to miss dressing up as Saru for every shoot though.

    Still though wow he really knocks it out of the park with conveying an alien with a physicality much different than ours, he has to easily be one of the best aliens in the whole series.

    Also Michelle Yeoh is great so I am excited fuck it.

  • Are We All Too Cynical for Star Trek?

    Jump

  • Paramount doesn’t even want to write about the Utopia anymore. All of the Picard series is about corruption, greed, power, and the Federation failing on all accounts. I hate them for it. Star Trek is supposed to be a glimpse into a hopeful future, not a reflection of our current problems but with phasers added.

    I think there are many valid criticisms of new trek but I really just don't see this, old star trek had the same shit

  • When should I start showing someone new to Trek new shows?

    Jump

  • Ok I know people will say this is weird but watch through Star Trek Enterprise with Captain Archer since that was supposed to be a reboot for Star Trek that pulled in new fans. It explains the origin story of how humans got into space which I think helps a lot of newer watchers ground themselves in the universe easier. Make sure to make fun of it when it gets too absurd and always have a lighter nearby to hold up during the theme song.

    Then go through TNG, Voyager and DS9 jumping between them every episode so you move through all three at the same time. I have been watching Star Trek with my gf this way and it is really fun to compare between the shows and it makes the bad episodes of any one particular series less exhausting because you get to take a break from that show.

    Whenever you feel like it watch newer trek and catch up on it, I like all of it and some of it is really good.

    Sprinkle in TOS episodes as you go, especially when there are direct callbacks to specific episodes (the SNW episode that echoes a TOS episode is a blast to watch right after watching the associated TOS episode they did such a good job).

  • In fairness, it’s less controversial and more that the line is outright offensive. At the time, people were being murdered by acts of terrorismin in the troubles, so to wontonly say that those attacks are effective and will get results was extremely insensitive. It’s sort of like saying 9/11 was an effective use of terrorism shortly after it happened, or the 2015 Paris attacks.

    I mean I get that it is a pretty touchy subject, but honestly at the end of the day the 9/11 attacks were stunningly effective at doing exactly what Bin Laden wanted us to do, get involved in a long drawn out war that undermined the stability of the US and accelerated its collapse.

    The asshole literally wrote this all out in a letter and I am glad it made the rounds recently because we took the bait hook line and sinker. If as a society stories had trained us to think of terrorism not as some existential evil that comes from satan but rather a brutal political/military strategy enacted to accomplish certain logical political aims we might have been more equipped to deal with a 9/11 response more rationally. Specifically maybe we wouldn’t have just signed off on US warhawks throwing Iraq into the mix for absolutely no good reason than imperialism (Bin Laden must have been whooping and hollering happy when he heard the US decided to get itself stuck in TWO endless wars because of his actions).

  • It took me playing the classic masterpiece designs of board gaming like Agricola, Concordia and Dominion to make me realize how bloated most strategy video games are.

    It ain’t about how complex the system is, it is about how meaningful and interesting your choices are and honestly some video games are just horrendous at making you do 1000 little tasks that don’t really matter.

    I haven’t played stellaris though.
