I think grok is just Elon's shadow account.

This just in, criminals drink water.

I was seeing this as an extraction. Not the insertion

Listening to fox news

Is it true that newer pixels have RAM dedicated to AI? And even if I turn of Gemini and delete the app I still won't able to use that RAM?

Is it counted within the usual 8-12gigs or is it seperate?

Just trying to find out incase I buy one for graphineOS

To be fair. I was frustrated 5 mins ago. Needed a break. The phrase 'calm down' in this meme made me crack a smile and I actually did calm. So in a weird backwards way it actually worked.

VRchat. You don't even need VR. You can play it on your desktop free on steam. Met my best friends there.

Ebikes I think I saw somewhere are the most efficient form of transport interms of energy consumption. Even more so than regular bikes because electricity is cleaner than fueling the rider on food.

They're great. Make more accommodations for them in the city plan and i think your population will be happier and healthier.

Na there will be a beast in 15 years that'll come out of nowhere to smash it with pads on and set a new standard.

I think your learning methods are pretty common. From cracked software to experimenting and copying. The way you think though I feel is a step up.

Its easy to crumble under small amount of plays but you've framed it in a positive way which I think can benefit others too. It's all progress.

Also realising how genres set expectations is really aware. I think most don't put that kind of thought into it. It's a good challenge to try sticking to a genre. You can explore its confines and edges.

Where are you based? Maybe someone on the same wavelength will see your comment one day and reach out. I struggle somewhat with the IRL componant of finding musicians with similar personal mindsets to me too.

I enjoyed your long reply! It's nice to connect.

Sorry to hear that. I think once you've got a work flow down creativity flows easier. Often times I get stuck because I don't know what my next step is. But then I break it down and try to do things in a logical order.

Like write some lyrics about a topic. Then what song do I want this song to sound like. Try to match it, make mistakes, they turn out kinda cool. Badaboom a week later Ive been creative the whole time.

This might be a quicker solution than replacing the stick. Thnx

Oh sick thanks!

Working with others can be so rewarding but damn it can be frustrating as hell too.

It still is ahead of its time. I think it was the learning curve that held it back. There wasn't really a tutorial for how to use it fully. But through the years it grew on me and paired to my steamdeck on tv. It's my main way to play now.

I know this is gonna sound crazy but switching the triggers so left is zoom and right is fire changed everything for me. If your aiming with your left thumb and also using your left finger to fire it throws off your aim.

I've got 2 and my main ones thumbstick is worn down to the plastic under the rubber now.

If they release a new version I will buy it in a heartbeat.

Bass is great. Took me a while when I was younger to even hear it in a song. But once it clicked it became one of my favorite parts of a song. Underpins the whole thing.

Wow that sounds like a lot of fun. How many reenactment gigs are out there? Ive never been to one. Are they happening all the time or is it'll a seasonal thing?

Have you heard about syntorial? It's pretty good to get you rolling. It gets pretty advanced too. I never finished it but it taught me a lot. Red means recording has some great vids on the subject and learning how to use the dirtywave m8 tracker (headless) really helped me dig in to synthesis also.

If you don't intend to go pro. Don't worry about releasing too much. Even if you did want to go pro getting ears on your music is an up hill battle anyway. So don't let that stress hold you back from the fun of it.

I've always felt that if it sounds good on acoustic THEN it will sound good on anything. There is no where to hide on acoustic. Good luck on your journey.

Are the collaborators all vocalists? Why not suggest for you to finish off the tracks with him?

Home ownership is a fantastic achievement. It's an unattainable dream for most. I'm sure in time the music will flow again once you're settled.
