Okay Mastodon hivemind...
I am currently looking for a few new more contemporary SciFi novels. The caveat however is that I don't want the things that are currently trending.
So no Isekai. No LitRPG. No cultivation stories. No Hard Men making Hard Decisions while Hard. No grimdark disguised as'realism'. No 'everyone is always horrible to everyone else'. No Dark Forrest...
I want stories where things are optimistic and are getting better. I am okay with gray scales...
Where were you when a #starcitizen backer completed the first manually initiated server transition between Pyro and Stanton? ;) Well, i was in bed, but still, pretty exciting ;) The test is still going on now, but... yeah, this seems to be going pretty well, kudos to the teams! https://www.reddit.com/r/starcitizen/comments/1ba4qw2/we_did_it/
If you want Live Captions on Linux, check out https://github.com/abb128/LiveCapt – you can also find it on Flathub and it works splendidly and, unlike the Windows version, it automatically saves a transcript. This is perfect for making your live streams and videos more accessible. And it’s free and open source.
@Plus_Ultra Was a really good one, packed solid with good takes and clarifications and the like, from a tram that not only clearly cares, but also just... know what they're doing :)
We'd like to start by bringing your attention to Claw Volume 1, which was the passion project of the already-missed Kirisis, and has been generously been made available for free by @FurPlanet please consider picking this up and continuing Kiri's legacy.
Any of you music people out there have any particular scales you'd like your tools to support? (Microtonal ones are fun, but I'm currently limited to midi notes without tuning, so can't do the Vietnamese scale of harmonics or quarter tone, so... mostly wondering about the ones I can actually work with ;) )
Say you have a #sampler that can operate as a kind of wavetable #synth. If you want to implement unison and chorus, you would presumably do that essentially by having unison do the duplication prior to any panning or filter or whatnot (unison being basically about the oscillators), and chorus would be essentially multiple voices, just with each voice detuned by some amount. Does that make sense?
Hm, I've been pondering, what would happen if I started posting random, incomplete snippets of groovebox related stuff... things like random "I want to add this thing to our sampler engine" or "hey, which of these options would be better" kind of stuff... would people care? Would they even maybe answer the questions if I post any? I guess I might just start and see what happens :) #synths #groovebox #samplers #sequencer
@icefoxx ...is this what peak performa actually looks like? ;)
@ohyran oh no, I mean for this kind of game, enjoying playing the game is a part of being good at it, and I just don't really enjoy playing them :D entirely a me problem there, and I'm quite happy to just hang on the sidelines for that :)
@ohyran Hehe, i like the idea, but i am pretty terrible at that type of game :D Never did get on with things like Werewolf either for similar reasons ;) i'd totally hang in the chat with a glass of wine or something, though, sounds like a good time :)
Well, then! Looks like Server Meshing is doing that whole progressing thing ;) The newly freed patch notes and experience reports from the #starcitizen avocados says that... apparently it's working! One meshed server crashes, the other one stays up, and the crashed one recovers (currently) in about two minutes. For the first semi-public test of a feature like that... i did not expect it to be quite so smooth as that :) Future's looking very interesting there ;)

New music! Been working on this one since the beginning of the year!
