Imhotep posted:What gear u got?? I make electronic music mostly but i just found out that one of my favorite guitar players, Robin Guthrie of the Cocteau Twins used a Lexicon PCM 70, and I own a PCM 80, so I’ve been playing Cocteau Twins tunes on my guitar. I don’t really look at guitar gear much, but I’ve been interested in getting a Strymon El Capistan because I love tape delays and wow and flutter, and I’ve been debating whether or not to get an Elektron Octatrack or to go with the Digitakt, but the Octatrack would allow me to sync loops to midi sequences in real time, like the dude from Battles does with his Octatrack, which is very appealing. I'm too stupid for synthesis. I bought a ms20-mini when I was cashed up. I appreciated the capabilities of it but it deserves to be with someone else. I've been slumming it with the same guitar gear for years. Fender bassman stack, pedalboard with nothing too fancy on it (Bass big muff, RV-6, Line 6 DL-4 plus some other stuff I barely use) and my guitar of choice since I've moved interstate is this old 70's italian acoustic that has a pickup built in it thats good for playing moody stuff on. My advice for music gear is that you should probably just buy it if it wont make you homeless. my last purchase was a high-gain distortion pedal so I could play dumb black metal riffs but it arrived broken and they just refunded me and I couldn't find another one. twistedmentat posted:Oh you like Twin Peaks eh? ShoogaSlim posted:i can typically separate art from the artist no problem but David Lynch sells transcendental meditation as if practicing mindfulness needed to be behind a paywalled cult and not an ancient tradition that is readily accessible and available for free to anyone who needs it. I take it back I dont want to derail ever again. what paywall lol

ShoogaSlim posted:the old loon is selling meditation via "certified" "teachers." it is 100% a scam. So do you just not believe that certain people can be trained in the art of meditation or do you just refute wholesale the idea that meditation and mindfulness can help people deal with stress and anxiety? Either way this is ultra-premium 2003 edge lord power-posting. Snake Oil is different than offering free meditation therapy to children and veterans, lmao

Jerky is good, cured sausages too. I once tried getting a packet of that biltong and there was a huge mold colony inside, bad first impression of that

In general I’m more scared of low quality regular meat than I am of ultra-processed fake meats, I’d rather get pancreatic cancer in 25 years than get diarrhea today.

I don't think I've ever had jerky. It seems like something you'd only eat if you were going on some kind of pilgrimage.

Dried, smoked, and cured meats are one of the fundamental staples of society and one of the technologies that allowed us to transition from Hunter/Gatherers to agriculturalists. Jerky is just a snack food made out of meat instead of sugar and carbohydrates. I think maybe jerky got a bit of an EPIC-Bacon-Ninja-Reddit reputation in the early 2000’s as like the supreme CHUD-CHOW but it’s just a really convenient way to get some protein going without having to cook. It’s good!

ShoogaSlim posted:i can typically separate art from the artist no problem but David Lynch sells transcendental meditation as if practicing mindfulness needed to be behind a paywalled cult and not an ancient tradition that is readily accessible and available for free to anyone who needs it. See, what we have here is not "failure to seperate art from artist" so much as "You dont like the art, so have gone looking for a reason to dislike the artist to justify it". You're allowed to not like David Lynch films, I'm not a particular fan myself. But I dont pretend its because he has a foundation that charges to teach people "an ancient tradition that is readily accessible and available for free to anyone who needs it". Theres loads of stuff which can be learned for free but you can also pay someone to teach you. Much of it (fishing, hunting, survival skills) has been a thing for much longer than transcendental meditation. I just dont like his films because they arent my thing. With a very small number of exceptions I like my films to have a comprehendable story told in a way which doesnt deliberately obscure the plot. Failure to seperate art from artist is my refusal to watch any film directed by woody allen. I dont give a poo poo about their quality or if I would enjoy them or not, I'm not watching them specifically because of his involvement. I dont have to add in any information about what I like or not about his movies because I dont watch them specifically because of my distaste for the artist. Edit: Also, Jerky is okay, Biltong is better.

As soon as I have finished dealing with the GOTY thread and all the prep work I will return to streaming. I need to finish Dark Souls. I need to Plat BB and most importantly I need to right a wrong that has been going on for over a year and a half. I need to see where Trico's story finishes. I am very conscious of how much Imhotep has asked me to finish it back in the day and I do not want to let you down at all.

Since TM is getting mentioned I guess I'll shout out a book. McMindfulness: How Mindfulness Became the New Capitalist Spirituality by Ronald Purser I found it to be a good read with an argument for why what Lynch and others are doing is maybe not good for those people/kids ( I like his art).

Some thoughts on ME Catalyst: The movement system is like nothing else, not because it feels great (though it does when you get it right), but because of its nuance. You'll pick up on how even small differences in your input can affect your flow. Hold your slide a bit too long, or time your jump slightly wrong, and you'll lose momentum. So when you perfectly string together multiple sections, it's an actual achievement. And you're going to notice those differences because the time trials (which is most of the activities) are brutal. Repeated retries are a little annoying with HDD load times, but they'll force you to pick up on the subtleties of the parkour. A single second can and will matter. However, on the flipside, it hasn't been the relaxing experience I was looking for. Timers stress me out. They play a vital role here, so I don't begrudge their inclusion, but they might not be for me, not atm anyway. I already had glimpses of that flow state that'll come from mastering the platforming, but I don't know that I have the right disposition to get there right now. Also, whilst the environment works as a real time parkouring puzzle in the trials, it isn't particularly interesting to explore. It isn't necessarily fair to fault the game for this---it's just not what the game's about---but it's one of the things enjoy most in in games with a strong traversal element. I'll probably give it another hour or two, but idk if I'll stick with it longer.

Also I was pleasantly surprised that Mirror's Edge was a locked 60 (on PS5). I downloaded Dying Light at the same time (was in the mood for first person parkouring), but had to turn it off immediately because motion was barf inducing. I think it was something more than just the 30 fps frame rate.

I've heard that Japan has like 300 different flavours of Kitkat bars, which is really just kind of crazy. They could at least share them with the rest of us.
