<2023-03-29T03:43:01.000Z> gol_d_berg: yo yo
<2023-03-29T03:43:12.000Z> VBurner: yohoho (one piece reference)
<2023-03-29T03:43:16.000Z> VBurner: lemme get on my pc
<2023-03-29T03:43:41.000Z> gol_d_berg: i play and sing a little bit and have tooled around with a DAW before but never actually made something, at least not in years, and never anything longer than 10-20s
<2023-03-29T03:45:21.000Z> VBurner: alright cool
<2023-03-29T03:45:25.000Z> VBurner: do you have a MIDI controller?
<2023-03-29T03:45:53.000Z> VBurner: as in a keyboard that plugs into your PC
<2023-03-29T03:46:02.000Z> VBurner: if you do it'll help but you won't really need one
<2023-03-29T03:46:07.000Z> VBurner: well, at least not to star tout
<2023-03-29T03:46:34.000Z> VBurner: start out*
<2023-03-29T03:48:33.000Z> VBurner: so, download all this to start reaper.fm - DAWsurge-synthesizer.github.io/ - really solid hybrid synth daichilab.sakura.ne.jp/softsynth/index.html - really solid synth. yes, the site is in japanese, yes, it is the right site. 
<2023-03-29T03:51:46.000Z> VBurner: this one was virtually only Synth1  https://i.poastcdn.org/2b6488e9cc0397d18d99a48753e3b38781ff2b76442aaa77666fa70cf8c3be5b.mp3
<2023-03-29T03:51:51.000Z> VBurner: oh, I should grab you some drums
<2023-03-29T03:51:52.000Z> VBurner: one sec
<2023-03-29T03:52:36.000Z> gol_d_berg: i do not
<2023-03-29T03:52:38.000Z> VBurner: powerdrumkit.com/
<2023-03-29T03:53:19.000Z> gol_d_berg: oops that was replying to whether i had a midi controller. i have a condenser mic, audio/digital interface, electronic drums, basically what i need to record and play shit
<2023-03-29T03:53:35.000Z> gol_d_berg: but 0 experience getting the drum kit working with a DAW
<2023-03-29T03:53:51.000Z> gol_d_berg: doing as many of the instruments as i can is part of the appeal
<2023-03-29T03:54:00.000Z> VBurner: you do not what lol
<2023-03-29T03:54:08.000Z> VBurner: oh, have a MIDI controller
<2023-03-29T03:54:16.000Z> gol_d_berg: but i will also try out programming them cause that gives a good sound for certain genres
<2023-03-29T03:54:55.000Z> VBurner attached file https://i.poastcdn.org/0451c0fc053d39d31dd88758c86bf27273c5648ee60d869ba42cf66a7af6ee50.png
<2023-03-29T03:54:58.000Z> VBurner attached file https://i.poastcdn.org/66bed629417f55e4030057afc37a296191bfbc3b7d318ed959a8b21573779a70.png
<2023-03-29T03:55:13.000Z> VBurner: here are some important keybinds I handpicked for a friend of mine 
<2023-03-29T03:55:18.000Z> gol_d_berg: oh very nice
<2023-03-29T03:56:26.000Z> VBurner: the plugins I linked are all really solid free ones. A little later I'll hook you up with some "extralegal" versions of professional plugins lmao
<2023-03-29T03:56:47.000Z> gol_d_berg: understood
<2023-03-29T03:56:58.000Z> gol_d_berg: i'll get cracking and make something shitty just to get a rep in
<2023-03-29T03:57:02.000Z> gol_d_berg: much obliged
<2023-03-29T03:57:10.000Z> VBurner: thing I forgot to mention there - alt + b is how you bring up the virtual MIDI keyboard
<2023-03-29T03:58:39.000Z> gol_d_berg: that song you shared has a good atmosphere
<2023-03-29T03:58:53.000Z> VBurner: when on the virtual keyboard window, arrowkeys change octave and right clicking on any key will set it so that your QWERTYUIOP keys will play in that key.
<2023-03-29T03:59:05.000Z> VBurner: very useful if you don't want to be mindful of what you're doing 
<2023-03-29T03:59:22.000Z> gol_d_berg: i enjoy not being mindful of what i'm doing
<2023-03-29T03:59:50.000Z> gol_d_berg: which might explain some crucial deficiencies in my life
<2023-03-29T04:02:36.000Z> VBurner: tytel.org/helm/ another good synth
<2023-03-29T04:03:04.000Z> VBurner: I forgot to mention that links embed in poast DMs, despite them not being blue nor underlined.
<2023-03-29T04:05:07.000Z> gol_d_berg: i noticed when i hovered over one
<2023-03-29T04:08:04.000Z> VBurner: want recommendations for plugins to pirate/sites to pirate from or should that come later?
<2023-03-29T04:08:49.000Z> gol_d_berg: later, i like to digest things one step at a time
<2023-03-29T04:09:29.000Z> gol_d_berg: or: "the student has yet to prove himself worthy of the next lesson until he demonstrates proficiency with the current lesson"
<2023-03-29T04:10:55.000Z> VBurner: oh yeah, do you make any art or anything? I just realised I know next to nothing about you lol
<2023-03-29T04:11:27.000Z> VBurner: the only thing I know is that you tragically lost your foreskin and you were born without a soul 
<2023-03-29T04:13:07.000Z> gol_d_berg: i am creatively inclined but never built up any deep skill in any medium. i aim to change that
<2023-03-29T04:13:29.000Z> gol_d_berg: i try to keep my details vague because who knows when some random glownigger or antifag will decide i'm the next worthwhile project
<2023-03-29T04:14:15.000Z> gol_d_berg: but yeah, foreskin taken by misguided fellow "fellow whites", soul granted to me via proximity to Western greatness and hot-blooded anime
<2023-03-29T04:14:29.000Z> VBurner: yeah, that was the kind of info I was looking for lmao, just whether you make stuff or not
<2023-03-29T04:14:32.000Z> VBurner: but it's cool that you want to
<2023-03-29T04:14:58.000Z> VBurner: I think as specific as I get is inferring what province I'm in 
<2023-03-29T04:15:26.000Z> VBurner: good to be weary 
<2023-03-29T04:15:36.000Z> gol_d_berg: attempting to make beauty is one of the noblest things a person can do, it's imitating God in a worthy manner
<2023-03-29T04:15:47.000Z> VBurner: this is true 
<2023-03-29T04:15:53.000Z> VBurner: I love making shit
<2023-03-29T04:16:00.000Z> VBurner: but burnout has been hard to shake recently 
<2023-03-29T04:16:08.000Z> gol_d_berg: i say beauty and not "art" because we drown in evidence that art has no value without beauty
<2023-03-29T04:16:34.000Z> gol_d_berg: have you been making a lot? i haven't been making anything and am just resuming some practice habits so i'm full of go go go right now
<2023-03-29T04:17:29.000Z> VBurner: I've just been practicing a lot and not making anything substantial 
<2023-03-29T04:18:03.000Z> gol_d_berg: have you ever heard the photography parable/case study? it might be apocryphal but even if it's false it's true
<2023-03-29T04:18:12.000Z> VBurner: I started making this a couple months ago but I accidentally stole the riff from Where is My Mind and haven't gotten back to it  https://i.poastcdn.org/02eaa5184a40e81fcb7f3851a884691f73e6a8ec2b4f2eb9527ba47e779abe48.wav
<2023-03-29T04:18:40.000Z> VBurner: I have not 
<2023-03-29T04:18:46.000Z> gol_d_berg: photography professor starts a semester with two classes. tells one class they will be graded on quantity of completed, submitted pictures. 100 = A+, 90 = A-, etc
<2023-03-29T04:18:57.000Z> VBurner: right'
<2023-03-29T04:19:00.000Z> gol_d_berg: other class will be graded on quality of their single best picture
<2023-03-29T04:19:15.000Z> VBurner: and which one produced better results?
<2023-03-29T04:19:19.000Z> gol_d_berg: at the end of the semester, the average picture quality of the quantity group was far better than the quality gropu
<2023-03-29T04:19:28.000Z> VBurner: interesting 
<2023-03-29T04:19:33.000Z> gol_d_berg: more reps of the whole process = more skill
<2023-03-29T04:19:47.000Z> VBurner: so it's basically proving that grinding shit is better than intention sometimes
<2023-03-29T04:19:48.000Z> gol_d_berg: regardless of the quality of any one rep, the overall quality just goes up with more reps
<2023-03-29T04:20:05.000Z> VBurner: I'll keep that in mind
<2023-03-29T04:20:20.000Z> gol_d_berg: exactly. burnout is real, but just going through the motions of making something from start to finish and putting a bow on it helps level you up
<2023-03-29T04:20:27.000Z> VBurner: I'm a bit of a perfectionist so quantity hurts my soul just a little lol
<2023-03-29T04:21:03.000Z> gol_d_berg: yeah me too. i think once i get my whole rig going and gain basic proficiency with the tools, i'm going to give myself a quantity challenge
<2023-03-29T04:21:28.000Z> VBurner: oh and I don't think I explained what kind of burnout it is. It's just physical and emotional, when I get home I'm drained and just want to watch something or hang out so I end up putting a video on and playing guitar/sketching
<2023-03-29T04:21:31.000Z> gol_d_berg: make one song of minimum 2 min length per week, wrap it up, being next
<2023-03-29T04:21:43.000Z> VBurner: may be worth a try
<2023-03-29T04:21:55.000Z> VBurner: I'll agree to try to make a song this week, at least
<2023-03-29T04:21:57.000Z> VBurner: baby steps lol
<2023-03-29T04:22:01.000Z> gol_d_berg: hey at least sketching or jamming to a video is better than just the video, or endless content scrolling
<2023-03-29T04:22:14.000Z> VBurner: this is a sketch I did recently. I really like it. https://i.poastcdn.org/88b6bc001d79e8b3a7264952ceca1edf1ec2a9ac925b85fd3200cb993e91a994.png
<2023-03-29T04:22:18.000Z> gol_d_berg: my goal for this week is just installing everything and making sure it works lul
<2023-03-29T04:22:20.000Z> VBurner: my artstyle is developing
<2023-03-29T04:22:21.000Z> VBurner: as is my music
<2023-03-29T04:22:32.000Z> gol_d_berg: we were made to make
<2023-03-29T04:22:32.000Z> VBurner: but not much to show for the development because I don't work on anything substantial lmao 
<2023-03-29T04:22:41.000Z> VBurner: lol good goal
<2023-03-29T04:23:56.000Z> gol_d_berg: i listened to your snippet, the pixies do not have sole copyright on the third interval so you're safe
<2023-03-29T04:24:14.000Z> gol_d_berg: and you go somewhere else with the chord progression and tempo too. i look forward to seeing if you do anything more with it
<2023-03-29T04:24:36.000Z> VBurner: thanks!
<2023-03-29T04:25:13.000Z> VBurner: and I know but they're just too similar in usage I think
<2023-03-29T04:26:20.000Z> VBurner: I'll try to make something tomorrow
<2023-03-29T04:26:22.000Z> VBurner: I'll update you
<2023-03-29T04:27:09.000Z> gol_d_berg: HYPE
<2023-03-29T04:27:29.000Z> VBurner: lmao thanks
<2023-03-29T04:28:34.000Z> VBurner: kvraudio.com/plugins/the-newest-plugins look through here for plugins and then find a torrent for them if you're feeling like you need plugins btw
<2023-03-29T04:29:05.000Z> gol_d_berg: i'll check it out when i get to that point
<2023-03-29T04:29:08.000Z> VBurner: nice
<2023-03-29T04:29:36.000Z> VBurner: I'm gonna zone out for a while, I'll talk to you later
<2023-03-29T04:29:41.000Z> gol_d_berg: for now my scope is: use real instruments + programmed drums + synths as a way of practicing DAW workflow
<2023-03-29T04:29:46.000Z> gol_d_berg: adios, see you round
<2023-03-29T04:29:56.000Z> VBurner: which instruments do you play btw?
<2023-03-29T04:30:11.000Z> gol_d_berg: i only have guitar/bass/drums rn
<2023-03-29T04:30:14.000Z> gol_d_berg: so i play rock band
<2023-03-29T04:30:19.000Z> VBurner: oh cool
<2023-03-29T04:30:25.000Z> VBurner: I just play guitar and some keyboard
<2023-03-29T04:30:30.000Z> VBurner: do you have an audio interface?
<2023-03-29T04:30:38.000Z> gol_d_berg: yeah
<2023-03-29T04:30:54.000Z> VBurner: you can run good amp sims through Reaper
<2023-03-29T04:31:00.000Z> gol_d_berg: sweet
<2023-03-29T04:31:28.000Z> VBurner: chowdsp.com/products.htmlBYOD from here is a good free one, but my personal favourites are TH-U and Line 6 Helix Native
<2023-03-29T04:31:35.000Z> VBurner: and all the Neural DSP ones
<2023-03-29T04:33:41.000Z> gol_d_berg: excellent
<2023-03-29T04:34:03.000Z> VBurner: (all of which are cracked)
<2023-03-29T04:34:10.000Z> VBurner: rutracker.org is a good place to start
<2023-03-29T04:34:16.000Z> gol_d_berg: YOU WOULDN'T DOWNLOAD A CAR
<2023-03-29T04:34:21.000Z> VBurner: YES I WOULD
<2023-03-29T04:34:28.000Z> gol_d_berg: bitch i would download a fighter jet if it was possible don't test me
<2023-03-29T04:34:47.000Z> VBurner: I'd 3D print weapons if ammo wasn't hard to get
<2023-03-29T04:34:56.000Z> gol_d_berg: just 3D print ammo duh
<2023-03-29T04:35:09.000Z> VBurner: simply order a litre of gunpowder polymer 
<2023-03-29T04:36:06.000Z> VBurner: alright I'll ttyl lmao
<2023-03-29T04:36:21.000Z> gol_d_berg: GO AWAY ALREADY
<2023-03-29T04:36:23.000Z> gol_d_berg: :D
<2023-03-29T04:36:47.000Z> VBurner: I'm gone  https://i.poastcdn.org/0c1439df60130fa87fdadce790846c9b7b788d57c3eb40b7e38e0c336e7c3281.jpg
<2023-03-29T04:37:26.000Z> VBurner: help me identify where the hell this image came from if you have a chance, I found it on the global timeline like 6 months ago https://i.poastcdn.org/cd10fa7277d99f89fc908399815eca9c9b9a7049d7c1194f13dc35af122bb232.png
<2023-03-29T04:37:30.000Z> VBurner: okay now I'm actually gone
<2023-03-31T04:07:26.000Z> gol_d_berg: are there any security risks with linking to youtube or some other faggy site to share music
<2023-03-31T04:07:37.000Z> gol_d_berg: people only like my shitpoasts but nobody responds to my srs bizness
<2023-03-31T04:07:38.000Z> VBurner: wdym?
<2023-03-31T04:07:47.000Z> gol_d_berg: like trackers or whatever
<2023-03-31T04:07:48.000Z> VBurner: like linking to your own youtube?
<2023-03-31T04:08:02.000Z> gol_d_berg: nah just someone else's song i'd want to share
<2023-03-31T04:08:07.000Z> gol_d_berg: or any clip or anything
<2023-03-31T04:08:16.000Z> VBurner: youtube urls shouldn't have anything identifying, but probably use ClearURLs in general
<2023-03-31T04:08:52.000Z> VBurner: or just download it and post it if you're that worried
<2023-03-31T04:09:11.000Z> gol_d_berg: how do clearurls work
<2023-03-31T04:09:22.000Z> gol_d_berg: i installed the extension, do i input the url i want to share or what
<2023-03-31T04:09:28.000Z> VBurner: ClearURLs just deletes tracking stuff
<2023-03-31T04:09:47.000Z> VBurner: no, it just means that when you're on a youtube video the link won't have any tracking stuff in it
<2023-03-31T04:09:52.000Z> gol_d_berg: ok
<2023-03-31T04:10:06.000Z> gol_d_berg: i don't want to share a youtube video, and then someone clicks on it and gets tracked, and it's bad for thtem
<2023-03-31T04:10:06.000Z> VBurner: you really have nothing to worry about in general with posting links lol
<2023-03-31T04:10:12.000Z> gol_d_berg: ok good
<2023-03-31T04:10:14.000Z> VBurner: it would be
<2023-03-31T04:10:25.000Z> VBurner: I use LibRedirect so YT links automatically go to Invidious 
<2023-03-31T04:10:50.000Z> VBurner: poa.st/about/servicesI got Graf to set this up the other day 
<2023-03-31T04:11:00.000Z> VBurner: they host an Invidious instance and a Nitter instance 
<2023-03-31T04:11:59.000Z> gol_d_berg: how do i set this up/use with brave?
<2023-03-31T04:12:05.000Z> gol_d_berg: i see that libredirect has a firefox ext
<2023-03-31T04:14:58.000Z> VBurner: I've no idea if it works on Chromium
<2023-03-31T04:15:34.000Z> VBurner: oh yeah, graf also hosts a searx instance but I host my own so I forgot about it
<2023-03-31T04:16:22.000Z> gol_d_berg: if you haven't heard the song i poasted yet, you're welcome
<2023-03-31T04:17:15.000Z> VBurner: this is good
<2023-03-31T04:17:22.000Z> VBurner: do you like Scandroid?
<2023-03-31T04:17:35.000Z> VBurner: this actually makes me think of like 
<2023-03-31T04:17:40.000Z> VBurner: light eurobeat for some reason
<2023-03-31T04:17:43.000Z> VBurner: like some a-one shit
<2023-03-31T04:18:08.000Z> VBurner: invidious.poast.org/watch?v=7mo7PjgrMSw

<2023-03-31T04:21:02.000Z> VBurner: it is on chromium
<2023-03-31T04:21:08.000Z> VBurner: super easy setup https://i.poastcdn.org/69bb1f817ed1042098411ea933f65d665975ed788c50fe08de4bcb94a237a675.png
<2023-03-31T04:34:06.000Z> gol_d_berg: what about for mac fags though
<2023-03-31T04:34:19.000Z> VBurner: wtf mac user
<2023-03-31T04:34:20.000Z> gol_d_berg: i haven't played katana zero but i assume the soundtrack is a bop based on the overall aesthetic of the game
<2023-03-31T04:34:29.000Z> VBurner: the soundtrack is amazing
<2023-03-31T04:34:39.000Z> VBurner attached file https://i.poastcdn.org/8094133eb36ec28defc37a6a7f71e93356fe7e71322a23f65c3401cedd485060.png
<2023-03-31T04:34:53.000Z> gol_d_berg: jake kaufman is a beast, he also did the shovel knight soundtrack and is responsible for a good number of the best OCRemixes
<2023-03-31T04:34:58.000Z> gol_d_berg: thank you kindly
<2023-03-31T04:35:54.000Z> VBurner: I forgot his name, but the guy that did the Bleed 2 and Nuclear Throne soundtracks is impressive
<2023-03-31T04:44:28.000Z> gol_d_berg: Will check it out 
<2023-03-31T04:45:33.000Z> gol_d_berg: One of the greatest OSTs of all time is Ninja Warriors AGAIN for snes. It’s a legit album with recurring motifs and developments and emotional escalation and everything, with a dark 90s terminator sci fi feel 
<2023-03-31T04:45:47.000Z> gol_d_berg: But with the funkiest bass Japan has ever produced 
<2023-03-31T04:46:37.000Z> VBurner: my favourite OSTs are probably Hypnospace Outlaw, Katamari Damacy, Katana Zero (of course), Hotline Miami and Sonic Adventure 2
<2023-03-31T04:47:35.000Z> gol_d_berg: Oh man
<2023-03-31T04:47:42.000Z> gol_d_berg: NAAAAA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA
<2023-03-31T04:47:47.000Z> gol_d_berg: KATAMARI DAMASHIIIII
<2023-03-31T04:47:55.000Z> VBurner: my childhood
<2023-03-31T04:47:56.000Z> gol_d_berg: And sonic adventure!
<2023-03-31T04:48:04.000Z> gol_d_berg: OOOPEN UP YOUR HEART
<2023-03-31T04:48:44.000Z> VBurner: city escape is burned into my mind
<2023-03-31T04:48:56.000Z> VBurner: ROLLING AROUND AT THE SPEED OF SOUND 
<2023-03-31T04:49:13.000Z> VBurner: (I thought it was Running around at the speed of sound but got into an argument like 5 years ago and looked it up)
<2023-03-31T04:49:43.000Z> gol_d_berg: Isn’t that SA2?
<2023-03-31T04:49:57.000Z> VBurner: it is 
<2023-03-31T04:49:59.000Z> VBurner: I said SA2
<2023-03-31T04:50:03.000Z> VBurner: I played 1 later 
<2023-03-31T04:50:14.000Z> gol_d_berg: LIVE AND LEARN
<2023-03-31T04:50:27.000Z> gol_d_berg: u rite I didn’t pay attention to the 2 on the next line
<2023-03-31T04:50:47.000Z> VBurner: live and learn fucks
<2023-03-31T04:50:57.000Z> VBurner: did you ever listen to the Sonic R ost?
<2023-03-31T04:51:21.000Z> VBurner: youtube.com/watch?v=XWoekUxnZ7w
<2023-03-31T04:51:28.000Z> VBurner: honestly 
<2023-03-31T04:51:31.000Z> VBurner: the more I think about it
<2023-03-31T04:51:36.000Z> VBurner: the more I think I may be a Sonic fan
<2023-03-31T04:51:47.000Z> VBurner: I've played way too much Sonic to not be a Sonic fan
<2023-03-31T04:52:00.000Z> VBurner: but I also haven't read any of the comics and never fucking think about Sonic so I don't know what I am
<2023-03-31T04:52:28.000Z> VBurner: how can I not be considered a fan of a game series which I've played like a dozen entries from 
<2023-03-31T04:53:00.000Z> gol_d_berg: Man there’s so much good music I wanna cover
<2023-03-31T04:53:19.000Z> gol_d_berg: I’ll cover City escape for your birthday
<2023-03-31T04:53:26.000Z> VBurner: thank you thank you
<2023-03-31T04:53:29.000Z> gol_d_berg: Which is hopefully many months away
<2023-03-31T04:53:35.000Z> VBurner: may lol
<2023-03-31T04:53:49.000Z> VBurner: I've never made any covers, doesn't really interest me 
<2023-03-31T04:53:53.000Z> gol_d_berg: Fuck you now I have to git gud
<2023-03-31T04:54:09.000Z> gol_d_berg: I like covers since I like to play in public sometimes when I trave
<2023-03-31T04:54:12.000Z> gol_d_berg: L
<2023-03-31T04:54:22.000Z> VBurner: I never play live
<2023-03-31T04:54:29.000Z> VBurner: I've only been playing guitar for a year and a bit 
<2023-03-31T04:54:37.000Z> gol_d_berg: Your birthday is now may31 since that gives me maximum time
<2023-03-31T04:54:55.000Z> gol_d_berg: Your birthday is now may31 since that gives me maximum time
<2023-03-31T04:55:06.000Z> VBurner: yes 
<2023-03-31T04:55:11.000Z> VBurner: my iconic birthday 
<2023-03-31T04:55:13.000Z> VBurner: may 31st
<2023-03-31T04:55:58.000Z> gol_d_berg: It’s canon now
<2023-03-31T04:56:42.000Z> VBurner: engrave it into the burner lore plaque 
<2023-03-31T04:57:00.000Z> VBurner: what kind of guitar do you travel with btw? do you bring a headless with you or something?
<2023-03-31T04:59:31.000Z> VBurner: I've been tempted by Steinberger guitar recently 
<2023-03-31T04:59:34.000Z> VBurner: guitars*
<2023-03-31T05:10:16.000Z> gol_d_berg: acoustic bro
<2023-03-31T05:10:29.000Z> gol_d_berg: plunk my ass down on a corner and have a good old time, maybe even make some drinking money
<2023-03-31T05:10:43.000Z> gol_d_berg: it's a smaller one but still a full guitar
<2023-03-31T05:10:51.000Z> VBurner: nice
<2023-03-31T05:10:57.000Z> VBurner: I like playing acoustic
<2023-03-31T05:11:08.000Z> gol_d_berg: certainly helps for finger strength
<2023-03-31T05:11:33.000Z> gol_d_berg: "yeah man i main acoustic but will sometimes play electric for certain matchups"
<2023-03-31T05:12:01.000Z> VBurner: when I play electric I just play simple riffs and do barre chords
<2023-03-31T05:13:36.000Z> gol_d_berg: same, mostly chords since i sing but i want to learn to shred eventually
<2023-03-31T05:14:17.000Z> gol_d_berg: man 2023 is gonna be a good year. poast got me all fired up with cool people and good advice. already been cutting down on bad habits, playing more music, doing more maintenance tasks, learning python so i can get big code money job
<2023-03-31T05:14:22.000Z> VBurner: I also sing but nothing I have currently has any singing in it
<2023-03-31T05:14:34.000Z> VBurner: nice dude
<2023-03-31T05:14:47.000Z> VBurner: this year I'm gonna try to make good art and music
<2023-03-31T05:15:12.000Z> gol_d_berg: something just clicked and i realized none of the skinner box vidya or content feed scrolling meant anything to me and none of it stuck with me after an hour or two
<2023-03-31T05:15:17.000Z> VBurner: I also wanna quit porn. I've already quit drinking pop this year.
<2023-03-31T05:15:26.000Z> VBurner: yup
<2023-03-31T05:16:04.000Z> gol_d_berg: so i might as well spend my time and mana on building stuff, whether tangible (physique, guitar coordination, singing muscles) or intangible (discipline, emotional stability, code knowledge)
<2023-03-31T05:16:14.000Z> gol_d_berg: quitting porn was a big one for me
<2023-03-31T05:16:47.000Z> gol_d_berg: you've actually been playing dark souls the whole time and you didn't even know it. scrolling the feed and jacking to porn is like just...standing at the starting bonfire and doing fuck all
<2023-03-31T05:17:02.000Z> gol_d_berg: you only get 24 hours a day so why not get some damn XP for your mana
<2023-03-31T05:18:26.000Z> VBurner: social media and porn broke man's drive to do cool shit to get attention and see boobies 
<2023-03-31T05:25:32.000Z> gol_d_berg: reject easy boobsretvrn to difficult bobos
<2023-03-31T05:26:27.000Z> VBurner: this is part of the reason I got into porn games lmao
<2023-03-31T05:35:31.000Z> gol_d_berg: nooooooooo
<2023-03-31T22:42:22.000Z> gol_d_berg: ROLLING AROUND AT THE SPEED OF SOUND
<2023-03-31T22:42:27.000Z> gol_d_berg: you motherfucker that's been stuck in my head for 12 hours
<2023-03-31T22:42:38.000Z> VBurner: WOOOOOO
<2023-03-31T22:42:40.000Z> VBurner: AWW YEAH
<2023-03-31T22:42:45.000Z> VBurner: ROLLING AROUND AT THE SPEED OF SOUND
<2023-03-31T22:42:50.000Z> gol_d_berg: GOT PLACES TO GO
<2023-03-31T22:42:51.000Z> VBurner: GOT PLACES TO GO GOTTA FOLLOW MY RAINBOW
<2023-03-31T22:42:57.000Z> VBurner: CAN'T STICK AROUND GOTTA KEEP MOVING ON 
<2023-03-31T22:42:59.000Z> VBurner: GUESS WHAT LIES AHEAD
<2023-03-31T22:43:01.000Z> gol_d_berg: sonic is a leprechaun confirmed?
<2023-03-31T22:43:02.000Z> VBurner: ONLY ONE WAY TO FIND OUT
<2023-03-31T22:43:06.000Z> VBurner: yes
<2023-03-31T22:43:12.000Z> gol_d_berg: cause he's not gay
<2023-03-31T22:43:21.000Z> gol_d_berg: which leaves only the other possibility
<2023-03-31T22:43:28.000Z> gol_d_berg: fuckin irish hedgehogs
<2023-03-31T22:43:35.000Z> VBurner: knew it all along
<2023-03-31T22:43:41.000Z> VBurner: dude's asfter a pot of gold
<2023-03-31T22:43:48.000Z> VBurner: after*
<2023-03-31T22:43:48.000Z> gol_d_berg: all those GOLDEN RINGS!
<2023-03-31T22:44:03.000Z> gol_d_berg: does the leprechaun seek, or possess, the pot of gold
<2023-03-31T22:44:08.000Z> gol_d_berg: that would make robotnik the leprechaun
<2023-03-31T22:44:20.000Z> gol_d_berg: which would explain the lengths he goes to prevent sonic from succeeding in his thieving ways
<2023-03-31T22:44:34.000Z> gol_d_berg: which means sonic is actually black
<2023-03-31T22:44:43.000Z> VBurner: you are going to put game theory out of business
<2023-03-31T22:44:48.000Z> gol_d_berg: and black people ARE overrepresented in sonic fandom
<2023-03-31T22:44:53.000Z> gol_d_berg: this is getting heavy
<2023-03-31T22:45:05.000Z> gol_d_berg: they can run fast and they have attitude
<2023-03-31T22:45:14.000Z> gol_d_berg: they care too much about sweet shoes
<2023-03-31T22:46:05.000Z> VBurner: hmmmm
<2023-03-31T22:46:05.000Z> VBurner: hmmmmmm
<2023-03-31T22:46:21.000Z> VBurner: retarded people are also over represented in the sonic fandom
<2023-03-31T22:48:53.000Z> gol_d_berg: and in the black population
<2023-03-31T22:48:57.000Z> gol_d_berg: it's all coming together
<2023-03-31T22:49:19.000Z> gol_d_berg: "sonic, why didn't you stop the nuke from taking out the space station?"IISONMYBREAK
<2023-03-31T22:49:42.000Z> gol_d_berg: "how would you feel if you hadn't eaten ten chili dogs for lunch?""but i DID eat ten chili dogs for lunch"
<2023-03-31T22:50:03.000Z> VBurner: holy shit
<2023-03-31T22:50:40.000Z> gol_d_berg: tails is the low-confidence white nerd friend who does all the actual thinking and r&d
<2023-03-31T22:51:46.000Z> VBurner: sonic really is a black guy
<2023-03-31T22:52:28.000Z> gol_d_berg: japan only has such cute and appealing ideas about black people because they hardly have any
<2023-03-31T22:52:38.000Z> VBurner: this is true
<2023-03-31T22:54:18.000Z> gol_d_berg: i promise this is not a doxx question: what are some of your favorite bands, so i have an idea of what kind of style to mix into my city escape cover
<2023-03-31T22:54:38.000Z> gol_d_berg: i always like to throw a couple twists or flairs into something because if i'm just going for a carbon copy it's better to listen to the original
<2023-03-31T22:54:50.000Z> gol_d_berg: you can also give me a genre if a band is too much info
<2023-03-31T22:55:26.000Z> gol_d_berg: there's a whole lot of music and games that i will not publicly talk about because the constellation of data would allow people who know me to start putting pieces together
<2023-03-31T22:58:03.000Z> VBurner: I really like MSG
<2023-03-31T22:58:13.000Z> VBurner: at least the old stuff
<2023-03-31T22:58:17.000Z> VBurner: it's basically dead now
<2023-03-31T22:58:23.000Z> gol_d_berg: added to my listen list
<2023-03-31T22:59:32.000Z> VBurner: it doesn't show up when I search it up so I should specify that i mean mkultra support group
<2023-03-31T22:59:59.000Z> VBurner: Not sure how a band would dox unless it's like super local
<2023-03-31T23:05:21.000Z> gol_d_berg: it's not just one band though
<2023-03-31T23:05:59.000Z> VBurner: right
<2023-03-31T23:06:12.000Z> gol_d_berg: how many people are jewish, like anime, are sympathetic to dissident critiques of institutional global jewish power, like this particular game, that particular song, have read this book, are from that country....
<2023-03-31T23:06:42.000Z> VBurner: I have a jewish friend who plays guitar and also has recently covered City Escape 
<2023-03-31T23:06:44.000Z> VBurner: not even a joke
<2023-03-31T23:07:05.000Z> gol_d_berg: someone who knows me well enough irl would only need a couple of my favorite games, a writing sample and one song and be like "oh shit it's gol_d_berg"
<2023-03-31T23:07:14.000Z> gol_d_berg: that's hilarious
<2023-03-31T23:07:18.000Z> gol_d_berg: is he also a kike chud
<2023-03-31T23:07:29.000Z> gol_d_berg: or is he a full lefty kool-aid kike
<2023-03-31T23:07:37.000Z> VBurner: yeah 
<2023-03-31T23:07:39.000Z> gol_d_berg: "we don't control everything but also it's good that we do"
<2023-03-31T23:07:41.000Z> VBurner: I wouldn't be too worried though
<2023-03-31T23:09:32.000Z> VBurner: but yeah that's gross lol
<2023-03-31T23:10:04.000Z> VBurner: if you're that worried, change your speech patterns and dialect
<2023-03-31T23:10:59.000Z> VBurner: if I wanted to make myself less identifiable I'd start capitalising the starts of my sentences and using american spelling
<2023-03-31T23:11:26.000Z> gol_d_berg: oops, same but i would be a fake canukc
<2023-03-31T23:11:41.000Z> VBurner: I am also a canuck lmao
<2023-03-31T23:12:04.000Z> gol_d_berg: yeah that's why i chose it
<2023-03-31T23:12:10.000Z> gol_d_berg: you could advise me on how to blend in
<2023-03-31T23:12:19.000Z> VBurner: most jewish question I've ever heard 
<2023-03-31T23:12:29.000Z> gol_d_berg: first i'd have to vote for a faggot, then i'd like hockey, finally i know i have to be globally irrelevant
<2023-03-31T23:12:34.000Z> gol_d_berg: but beyond that i'm in your hands sensei
<2023-03-31T23:13:16.000Z> VBurner: lol idk what to tell you
<2023-03-31T23:18:59.000Z> VBurner: just don't fedpost
<2023-03-31T23:34:46.000Z> gol_d_berg: fedposting is obviously dumb
<2023-03-31T23:34:52.000Z> gol_d_berg: i meant tell me how to look canadian
<2023-03-31T23:35:04.000Z> VBurner: oh lol
<2023-03-31T23:35:08.000Z> VBurner: use Canadian spellings
<2023-03-31T23:35:15.000Z> VBurner: as in not American spellings
<2023-03-31T23:35:23.000Z> VBurner: mention Tim Hortons
<2023-03-31T23:35:36.000Z> VBurner: specify CAD when you mention how much something costs
<2023-03-31T23:36:40.000Z> gol_d_berg: i love the colour and flavour of the donuts and tim hortons, eh? and they're only $1.49 CAD!
<2023-03-31T23:36:54.000Z> VBurner: perfect
<2023-03-31T23:38:14.000Z> gol_d_berg: my main cultural exports are movies filmed in vancouver pretending to be a real city, the concept of hockey, and middling indie music
<2023-03-31T23:38:49.000Z> VBurner: this is true 
<2023-03-31T23:38:56.000Z> VBurner: complain about not being able to own a gun 
<2023-03-31T23:41:23.000Z> gol_d_berg: i thought canada had a bunch of guns
<2023-03-31T23:41:48.000Z> VBurner: alberta does
<2023-03-31T23:42:00.000Z> VBurner: you also can't buy handguns anymore 
<2023-03-31T23:43:07.000Z> gol_d_berg: it's because handguns are an effective protection from diversity and vibrancy
<2023-03-31T23:43:14.000Z> VBurner: exactly 
<2023-03-31T23:43:30.000Z> VBurner: when I went to the US I noticed how the homeless don't bother you as much
<2023-03-31T23:43:38.000Z> VBurner: because there is a possibility they get shot there
<2023-03-31T23:44:55.000Z> gol_d_berg: it's like how women in public have a tendency to get out of order more than men do. women are like small dogs, who are allowed to act out because of their relative harmlessness
<2023-03-31T23:45:13.000Z> VBurner: lmao
<2023-03-31T23:45:14.000Z> gol_d_berg: every man knows that if he crosses the line with another man, he might get his teeth knocked in or a new hole
<2023-03-31T23:45:21.000Z> VBurner: yes
<2023-03-31T23:45:33.000Z> gol_d_berg: manners come from weapons
<2023-04-04T21:47:01.000Z> VBurner: did you get Reaper and the plugins installed?
<2023-04-04T23:02:22.000Z> gol_d_berg: Not the plug-ins yet. I’ll have more time next week but very busy this week
<2023-04-04T23:02:27.000Z> gol_d_berg: You having a good one?
<2023-04-04T23:04:21.000Z> VBurner: I'm having an alright day
<2023-04-04T23:04:23.000Z> VBurner: you?
<2023-04-05T01:27:13.000Z> gol_d_berg: yeah getting some good code done, can’t complain. Wanna make big big money eventually
<2023-04-05T01:46:39.000Z> VBurner: good luck
<2023-04-05T01:46:44.000Z> VBurner: what kind of coding are you doing?
<2023-04-05T05:50:26.000Z> gol_d_berg: really basic stuff just learning Python
<2023-04-19T05:01:27.000Z> VBurner: first demo in a long itme https://i.poastcdn.org/5c70c187fe2c9172ea24498b92eaae24735978844144017cba6fb1b91881349d.wav
<2023-04-19T07:57:25.000Z> gol_d_berg: interesting vibe, what's the deal with the muffling effect?
<2023-04-19T15:58:19.000Z> VBurner: did it for fun before the export, it sounded empty due to lack of bass, eq, compression, etc
<2023-04-19T17:07:31.000Z> gol_d_berg: did you know old people made ok music sometimes? i just found this
<2023-04-19T17:07:53.000Z> gol_d_berg: republica - ready to go (original or radio version, original is bouncier and radio is rockier)
<2023-04-19T17:08:48.000Z> gol_d_berg: my cheat for bass is using effects to bass out that track, it's not pretty but it brings the track from d to c rank
<2023-04-19T17:20:08.000Z> VBurner: I'll likely just use a VSTi for bass 
<2023-04-19T17:20:12.000Z> VBurner: I should buy a bass
<2023-04-19T17:20:20.000Z> VBurner: how much are cheap basses
<2023-04-19T18:23:06.000Z> gol_d_berg: you can probably get something as low as 100, definitely for 200
<2023-04-19T18:26:07.000Z> VBurner: I can probably get an old squier bass for 200 canuckistani shekels 
<2023-04-19T18:45:56.000Z> gol_d_berg: very good
<2023-04-19T21:11:21.000Z> gol_d_berg: lmk what you think of that song if you listen to it btw
<2023-04-19T21:11:31.000Z> gol_d_berg: i've percolated some pretty good ideas for city escape
<2023-04-19T21:12:21.000Z> VBurner: listening now
<2023-04-19T21:12:22.000Z> VBurner: nice
<2023-04-19T22:05:04.000Z> gol_d_berg: it’s now my anthem for when i flip from “it’s so over” to “we’re so back”
<2023-04-19T22:05:12.000Z> gol_d_berg: something infectious in her energy
<2023-04-19T22:05:16.000Z> VBurner: oh I forgot to say lol
<2023-04-19T22:05:19.000Z> gol_d_berg: she is READY TO GO
<2023-04-19T22:05:26.000Z> VBurner: it's not really my thing
<2023-04-19T22:05:52.000Z> gol_d_berg: what would make it more your thing/what about it isn’t your thing
<2023-04-19T22:06:23.000Z> VBurner: less women singing 💪 
<2023-04-19T22:06:26.000Z> gol_d_berg: it could use a little more crush 40
<2023-04-19T22:07:59.000Z> gol_d_berg: i see, you arent afflicted by a weakness to goth/alt sirens
<2023-04-19T22:08:20.000Z> VBurner: I always get shit for not liking goth girls
<2023-04-29T04:06:17.000Z> gol_d_berg: bro do you want me to be your talking to chicks accountability coach
<2023-04-29T04:06:40.000Z> gol_d_berg: "hey did you talk to a chick today? no? fag. don't make me call you a fag tomorrow too"
<2023-04-29T04:07:05.000Z> VBurner: do I have a choice in the matter
<2023-04-29T04:07:25.000Z> gol_d_berg: i probably shouldn't give you one, but of course
<2023-04-29T04:07:30.000Z> VBurner: lmfao
<2023-04-29T04:07:43.000Z> gol_d_berg: i hate compelled action, it's one of the reasons i got chudpilled
<2023-04-29T04:07:46.000Z> VBurner: how do I get into a situation where I can talk to women without having to approach them 
<2023-04-29T04:07:58.000Z> gol_d_berg: "fuck you, make me"
<2023-04-29T04:07:59.000Z> VBurner: I literally work with no women 
<2023-04-29T04:08:02.000Z> gol_d_berg: ok so
<2023-04-29T04:08:32.000Z> gol_d_berg: the easiest way to be in a neutral environment with women, where you get to talk naturally without having to approach, is a shared interest
<2023-04-29T04:08:42.000Z> gol_d_berg: the SUPER CHEAT CODE? salsa classes but you have to commit for at least a few months
<2023-04-29T04:09:14.000Z> gol_d_berg: if you don't want to dance you can do art, pottery, chill co-ed sports leagues
<2023-04-29T04:09:27.000Z> VBurner: I do art 
<2023-04-29T04:09:36.000Z> VBurner: no idea what my options are for art 
<2023-04-29T04:09:41.000Z> gol_d_berg: painting and drawing classes
<2023-04-29T04:09:49.000Z> VBurner: my style may be too schizophrenic for classes 
<2023-04-29T04:10:03.000Z> gol_d_berg: there are places where you can go and paint and drink wine, not as much of a class as a social experience where there are artists who can give you pointers
<2023-04-29T04:10:17.000Z> gol_d_berg: don't come at me with a problem for every solution bro
<2023-04-29T04:10:28.000Z> gol_d_berg: if your style is too schizo, prove it by getting kicked out and banned
<2023-04-29T04:10:34.000Z> VBurner: LMAO 
<2023-04-29T04:10:37.000Z> gol_d_berg: or just adjust your style and try something new to stretch your abilities
<2023-04-29T04:10:41.000Z> VBurner: lol 
<2023-04-29T04:10:48.000Z> VBurner: I should look into art classes
<2023-04-29T04:10:53.000Z> VBurner: see what there is 
<2023-04-29T04:11:03.000Z> gol_d_berg: one nice thing about being a jew is that the genetic propensity for irrational and obnoxious social confidence ain't fake
<2023-04-29T04:11:25.000Z> gol_d_berg: so it's easier for me to try shit out that i have 0 experience with like salsa dance
<2023-04-29T04:11:38.000Z> gol_d_berg: but let's zoom out because you're clearly someone who likes understanding systems and principles right
<2023-04-29T04:11:47.000Z> VBurner: yes
<2023-04-29T04:11:56.000Z> VBurner: I've also basically never had an IRL friend
<2023-04-29T04:11:59.000Z> VBurner: only acquaintances 
<2023-04-29T04:12:00.000Z> gol_d_berg: here are the checkboxes to look for in an activity where you can meet women. the more of these the activity hits, the better
<2023-04-29T04:12:07.000Z> VBurner: sure
<2023-04-29T04:14:51.000Z> VBurner: so this rules out TCGs unfortunately (women do not play TCGs)
<2023-04-29T04:15:49.000Z> gol_d_berg: - you like it- you're good at it- the type of girl you find attractive likes it- it includes acceptable physical contact based on known rules- the activity is an fertile source of conversation, with available segues to more personal talk (the segue part is really more up to you, i can segue anything into anything because jew)- it meets regularly so that you can build up your recognizability over time- it's a supportive environment where people help each other improve- it allows you to sit right next to her
<2023-04-29T04:15:52.000Z> gol_d_berg: and most importantly
<2023-04-29T04:15:54.000Z> gol_d_berg: - IT HAS A HIGHER PERCENTAGE OF WOMEN THAN MEN
<2023-04-29T04:17:07.000Z> VBurner: I am not picky about women as long as she's moderately attractive and not a kike/coon
<2023-04-29T04:17:18.000Z> gol_d_berg: traditional courtship involved social interaction over some sort of "known" activity like the square dance or the ball. you get to touch each other, look at each other, talk to each other, move together, test for all sorts of unspoken compatibilities through the dance. it's all in the open, socially acceptable and SAFE
<2023-04-29T04:17:42.000Z> gol_d_berg: well my man you should be. pickier people do better because they refine their type and can more easily filter
<2023-04-29T04:17:58.000Z> VBurner: I mostly want her to be nice to me lo,
<2023-04-29T04:18:00.000Z> VBurner: lol*
<2023-04-29T04:18:14.000Z> gol_d_berg: if there is a specific type of woman you really like and vibe with 20% of the time, better to snipe those types than wade around in the 2% gen pop
<2023-04-29T04:18:18.000Z> VBurner: I think art classes may be the best bet
<2023-04-29T04:18:50.000Z> gol_d_berg: hey you may be lucky with a rare big tiddy racist jewess
<2023-04-29T04:19:00.000Z> gol_d_berg: the big tiddy part ain't rare but the racism is
<2023-04-29T04:19:16.000Z> gol_d_berg: usually those are the rich ones with republican fathers
<2023-04-29T04:19:44.000Z> gol_d_berg: also you have to be realistic about what you're bringing to the table
<2023-04-29T04:19:56.000Z> gol_d_berg: how tall, handsome, charismatic, muscular, etc are you
<2023-04-29T04:19:57.000Z> VBurner: I don't feel morally right doing a jewess lmao
<2023-04-29T04:20:17.000Z> VBurner: handsome? yesmuscular? not at all, but also not fat.
<2023-04-29T04:20:17.000Z> gol_d_berg: i'm not asking for the details i'm just asking you to confront those details honestly and set your expectation accordingly
<2023-04-29T04:20:33.000Z> gol_d_berg: i respect that you have morals
<2023-04-29T04:20:47.000Z> VBurner: charismatic? No, I stutter and stammer a lot
<2023-04-29T04:21:46.000Z> VBurner: brb gonna take a shower 
<2023-04-29T04:22:06.000Z> VBurner: oh yeah, I take showers despite my esteemed status as a gamer
<2023-04-29T04:22:14.000Z> gol_d_berg: oh yeah and TCGS LOL
<2023-04-29T04:23:17.000Z> gol_d_berg: egirls and girlfriends and the rare single chick who enjoys the artificial scarcity that makes her temporarily 3-5 points hotter on the scale until the tournament ends
<2023-04-29T04:23:40.000Z> VBurner: kek
<2023-04-29T04:23:49.000Z> VBurner: where are regular nerdy women located
<2023-04-29T04:23:53.000Z> VBurner: probably art classes actually 
<2023-04-29T04:24:10.000Z> gol_d_berg: you could risk maker meets and hackathons but you'd run right back into the TCG problem
<2023-04-29T04:24:21.000Z> gol_d_berg: but i gave you the cheat code
<2023-04-29T04:24:25.000Z> VBurner: presumably I would 
<2023-04-29T04:24:26.000Z> VBurner: you did 
<2023-04-29T04:24:40.000Z> gol_d_berg: are you man enough for salsa
<2023-04-29T04:24:47.000Z> VBurner: if all else fails I'll pick up divorced women at salsa
<2023-04-29T04:24:49.000Z> VBurner: God no lol
<2023-04-29T04:24:52.000Z> gol_d_berg: no dude
<2023-04-29T04:24:55.000Z> gol_d_berg: young women go to salsa
<2023-04-29T04:24:58.000Z> VBurner: no way 
<2023-04-29T04:24:59.000Z> gol_d_berg: people get MARRIED from salsa
<2023-04-29T04:25:03.000Z> VBurner: NO WAY
<2023-04-29T04:25:08.000Z> VBurner: this simply cannot be true
<2023-04-29T04:25:16.000Z> gol_d_berg: dance classes are among the best places to meet partners
<2023-04-29T04:25:20.000Z> VBurner: must be another Jewish lie 
<2023-04-29T04:25:30.000Z> gol_d_berg: obviously you would want to screen her for notch count and stuff first before committing
<2023-04-29T04:25:32.000Z> gol_d_berg: but think about it
<2023-04-29T04:25:36.000Z> gol_d_berg: club dancing is for whores, right?
<2023-04-29T04:25:46.000Z> gol_d_berg: any girl can feel special shaking her ass in a club with 0 training
<2023-04-29T04:25:58.000Z> VBurner: I'd be more concerned if she was trained 
<2023-04-29T04:26:14.000Z> VBurner: I've never been to a club, they seem loud and disgusting 
<2023-04-29T04:26:15.000Z> gol_d_berg: a girl who willingly puts herself in a position of inferiority as a student is already doing something right
<2023-04-29T04:26:20.000Z> gol_d_berg: they are loud and disgusting
<2023-04-29T04:26:52.000Z> VBurner: alright I'm gonna actually take a shower now
<2023-04-29T04:26:54.000Z> gol_d_berg: dancing is not inherently degenerate. it's traditionally one of the best and most wholesome ways we have of letting people get a taste of each other without violating any important sexual guidelines
<2023-04-29T04:27:08.000Z> gol_d_berg: yeah go ahead i can talk at you and you can read it later
<2023-04-29T04:28:02.000Z> gol_d_berg: dancing is a big hangup for intellectual types though because they might be bad at it, think it's beneath them, be afraid, whatever. but there's some really important intuitive human shit you learn by trying to improve at dancing and especially dancing with a partner
<2023-04-29T04:28:50.000Z> gol_d_berg: you learn to literally not step on each others' toes, to forgive mistakes with grace, to adjust your posture and steps to your partner's ability
<2023-04-29T04:29:36.000Z> gol_d_berg: it has specific roles for men and women, and it's collaborative so you don't run into the irritation of some chick you might otherwise like trash talking you like a man when you know that if you went full trash talk on her she'd cry
<2023-04-29T04:30:12.000Z> gol_d_berg: grug brain and mentat brain both understand the power of dance. being above dancing is a midwit take
<2023-04-29T04:30:58.000Z> gol_d_berg: and my GOD does it boost your confidence. women aren't as scary when you dance with many of them each week
<2023-04-29T04:31:18.000Z> gol_d_berg: the fact that it's a structured way for you to acceptably gain this kind of intimate practice is huge
<2023-04-29T04:31:46.000Z> gol_d_berg: if you're interested there is only one good book in the world about dating for men and i recommend it
<2023-04-29T04:31:49.000Z> gol_d_berg: models by mark manson
<2023-04-29T04:32:35.000Z> gol_d_berg: it's not about scoring with every woman, it's about being ruthlessly authentic so you maximize your chances with your kind of woman
<2023-04-29T04:32:47.000Z> gol_d_berg: pirate it or whatever, it's worth
<2023-04-29T04:49:40.000Z> VBurner: yeah I think dancing may be way too much for now, but it's something to work towards
<2023-04-29T04:49:43.000Z> VBurner: I'll check out that book
<2023-04-29T04:49:57.000Z> VBurner: no guarantees, but I'll procure a PDF and put it on my desktop
<2023-04-29T04:51:28.000Z> gol_d_berg: hold up
<2023-04-29T04:54:33.000Z> gol_d_berg: i have epub and mobi, what's your flavor
<2023-04-29T04:54:40.000Z> gol_d_berg: i can just attach it here ithink
<2023-04-29T04:54:55.000Z> VBurner: I'd just prefer to grab a PDF
<2023-04-29T04:54:58.000Z> VBurner: chudbuds incident and all
<2023-04-29T04:55:04.000Z> VBurner: thank you though
<2023-04-29T04:55:08.000Z> gol_d_berg: what's the incident
<2023-04-29T04:55:18.000Z> VBurner: RAT via minecraft mod lol
<2023-04-29T04:55:29.000Z> gol_d_berg: RAT?
<2023-04-29T04:55:40.000Z> VBurner: remote access trojan
<2023-04-29T04:55:44.000Z> VBurner: spooky computer malware
<2023-04-29T04:55:46.000Z> gol_d_berg: well in any case i can respect your paranoia too
<2023-04-29T04:55:54.000Z> VBurner: thank you lol
<2023-04-29T04:56:00.000Z> gol_d_berg: if you get lazy just know i can send you a copy
<2023-04-29T04:56:01.000Z> VBurner: I can respect your opsec paranoia as well lol
<2023-04-29T04:56:04.000Z> VBurner: thank you
<2023-04-29T04:56:23.000Z> gol_d_berg: i should be more paranoid, i'm clicking on youtube embed links and not using a vpn or whatever
<2023-04-29T04:56:44.000Z> VBurner: eh no those are fine
<2023-04-29T04:56:44.000Z> gol_d_berg: but also i don't fedpoast and have some bits of misleading chaff info to hopefully draw off the missiles
<2023-04-29T04:57:10.000Z> gol_d_berg: the jew part and the anime part are 100% though
<2023-04-29T04:57:10.000Z> VBurner: I mean you're being upfront with your Judaism so 
<2023-04-29T04:57:22.000Z> gol_d_berg: right but i'm not worried about chuds!
<2023-04-29T04:57:36.000Z> gol_d_berg: chuds aren't gonna try to get me fired or whatever just because i'm a jew
<2023-04-29T04:57:47.000Z> VBurner: idk if I've mentioned this but I know a different jew who has done guitar covers of Sonic music, which is fucking hilarious to me 
<2023-04-29T04:57:49.000Z> gol_d_berg: chuds only really go after pedos and god bless em for it
<2023-04-29T04:57:57.000Z> gol_d_berg: i think you did way earlier in the thread
<2023-04-29T04:58:01.000Z> VBurner: yeah lol
<2023-04-29T04:58:32.000Z> gol_d_berg: i'm annoyed because everything except my yeti mic and my XLR cable are here at my desk, but those two items are in a storage box and i don't feel like going through it
<2023-04-29T04:58:45.000Z> gol_d_berg: but then i keep hearing my ideas for city escape and want to record them
<2023-04-29T04:59:04.000Z> VBurner: have you heard spazkid's cover of Ciy Escape?
<2023-04-29T04:59:11.000Z> gol_d_berg: checking it out now
<2023-04-29T04:59:19.000Z> VBurner: youtu.be/CYuuiDFMWyY
<2023-04-29T04:59:29.000Z> gol_d_berg: just be warned btw my current plan is instrumental, i'm not about to stack my voice up against mr. crush 40
<2023-04-29T04:59:49.000Z> VBurner: sir crush 40 cannot be rivaled 
<2023-04-29T05:00:01.000Z> VBurner: wait I gotta listen to Friday Night
<2023-04-29T05:00:02.000Z> gol_d_berg: YES
<2023-04-29T05:00:04.000Z> gol_d_berg: THEY GET IT
<2023-04-29T05:00:10.000Z> gol_d_berg: THE SONG WAS ASKING TO BE A SKA SONG THE WHOLE TIME
<2023-04-29T05:00:44.000Z> VBurner: for once I didn't remember to listen to Friday Night on Saturday morning
<2023-04-29T05:00:46.000Z> gol_d_berg: i don't agree conceptually with the beat shift in the chorus but it's well-executed
<2023-04-29T05:01:57.000Z> gol_d_berg: all the vocal harmonies and syncopation are great
<2023-04-29T05:02:07.000Z> gol_d_berg: excellent cover, truly captured the spirit of the original
<2023-04-29T05:02:14.000Z> VBurner: yeah
<2023-04-29T05:02:21.000Z> VBurner: spazkid is a massive sonic fan
<2023-04-29T05:02:33.000Z> gol_d_berg: uh oh
<2023-04-29T05:02:36.000Z> gol_d_berg: you never go full sonic fan
<2023-04-29T05:02:41.000Z> gol_d_berg: *teleports behind you*
<2023-04-29T05:03:23.000Z> VBurner: he went *full* sonic fan https://i.poastcdn.org/093bb2e2906ca881694ee000eb8bffa3ea898b4fd96c421ae82cbf4151bbd38f.png
<2023-04-29T05:03:59.000Z> gol_d_berg: OH NO
<2023-04-29T05:04:09.000Z> VBurner: do you remember him from newgrounds?
<2023-04-29T05:05:01.000Z> VBurner: he's a really talented musician and animator but when he talks he sounds borderline retarded 
<2023-04-29T05:05:04.000Z> VBurner: it's really funny
<2023-04-29T05:06:13.000Z> gol_d_berg: if you draw that it ain't borderline anymore
<2023-04-29T05:06:22.000Z> gol_d_berg: i don't remember him from newgrounds
<2023-04-29T05:06:30.000Z> gol_d_berg: but i haven't been there in a minute
<2023-04-29T05:07:30.000Z> gol_d_berg: for me newgrounds begins and ends with egoraptor and the street fighter collab, i'm a filthy casual
<2023-04-29T05:08:14.000Z> VBurner: youtube.com/watch?v=yqYKUHUzva8you may remember this one
<2023-04-29T05:08:19.000Z> VBurner: that is completely fair 
<2023-04-29T05:14:00.000Z> gol_d_berg: hadn't seen that before actually
<2023-04-29T05:14:15.000Z> VBurner: oh got it
<2023-04-29T05:14:15.000Z> gol_d_berg: one of my best memories is going on a ski trip with college friends while singing along to the entire starbomb album
<2023-04-29T05:14:42.000Z> VBurner: I am the number one Ninja Sex Party hater
<2023-04-29T05:15:05.000Z> gol_d_berg: haven't listened to anything other than the starbomb collab
<2023-04-29T05:15:13.000Z> gol_d_berg: and the humor wears thin after one road trip
<2023-04-29T05:15:17.000Z> gol_d_berg: but what a road trip it was
<2023-04-29T05:17:18.000Z> VBurner: road trips sound fun
<2023-04-29T05:17:28.000Z> gol_d_berg: i figured out why you hate ninja sex party btw
<2023-04-29T05:17:35.000Z> gol_d_berg: one of the dudes is a jew!
<2023-04-29T05:17:46.000Z> VBurner: dan avidan is definitely jewish that is true
<2023-04-29T05:17:54.000Z> VBurner: I do have a dart board with his face on it 
<2023-04-29T05:17:56.000Z> VBurner: that is unrelated 
<2023-04-29T05:18:44.000Z> VBurner: youtube.com/watch?v=4Xc3HxLlkqEkinography
<2023-04-29T05:20:10.000Z> gol_d_berg: do you hate them because they are a one-note band that sucks?
<2023-04-29T05:20:18.000Z> VBurner: I'm not sure actually
<2023-04-29T05:20:21.000Z> VBurner: may be that
<2023-04-29T05:20:21.000Z> gol_d_berg: did dan avidan piss in your cornflakes personally
<2023-04-29T05:20:26.000Z> VBurner: no he didn't lol
<2023-04-29T05:20:37.000Z> VBurner: I guess I just didn't find it funny the first time
<2023-04-29T05:20:50.000Z> gol_d_berg: ohhh shit yeah time for some classic GG episodes
<2023-04-29T05:21:01.000Z> gol_d_berg: i'm a mat and pat guy myself
<2023-04-29T05:21:22.000Z> VBurner: as in super best friends or is that a joke about matpat from game theory?
<2023-04-29T05:21:38.000Z> VBurner: youtube.com/watch?v=K8foDBekOYMI have some bad news for you
<2023-04-29T05:21:40.000Z> gol_d_berg: i haven't listened to any ninja sex party stuff so i assume without egoraptor to handle all the lyrics and delivery they are not funny at all
<2023-04-29T05:21:45.000Z> gol_d_berg: super best friends reference
<2023-04-29T05:21:53.000Z> gol_d_berg: i know they split awhile ago though but the old stuff is great
<2023-04-29T05:21:59.000Z> VBurner: it is
<2023-04-29T05:22:08.000Z> VBurner: just a shitty way for things to end
<2023-04-29T05:22:32.000Z> VBurner: these days I get my lets play fix from OneyPlays 
<2023-04-29T05:22:36.000Z> gol_d_berg: oh shit, they are no longer even friends. damn
<2023-04-29T05:24:08.000Z> VBurner: oneyplays is also comprised of newgrounds people you may recognise 
<2023-04-29T05:28:40.000Z> gol_d_berg: oh yeah oney
<2023-04-29T05:28:59.000Z> gol_d_berg: learning more apparently they were both mutual acquaintances of woolie 
<2023-04-29T05:29:16.000Z> gol_d_berg: and their personalities had some clashes that never resolved over the course of their collaboration
<2023-04-29T05:29:17.000Z> gol_d_berg: makes more sense
<2023-04-29T05:29:27.000Z> VBurner: ah
<2023-04-29T05:29:30.000Z> gol_d_berg: they didn't actually start off as friends before the project
<2023-04-29T05:29:47.000Z> gol_d_berg: and then matt started contributing less and less to their work in the last stretch
<2023-04-30T19:15:59.000Z> gol_d_berg: did you steal the book yet
<2023-04-30T19:33:28.000Z> VBurner: I forgor
<2023-04-30T19:33:34.000Z> VBurner: the DM won't load, what was it called again?
<2023-04-30T19:34:00.000Z> gol_d_berg: models: attract women through honesty, by mark manson
<2023-04-30T19:37:48.000Z> VBurner: thank you
<2023-04-30T19:38:28.000Z> gol_d_berg: he also has a self-help book that blew up called "the subtle art of not giving a fuck" which isn't revolutionary or anything, a lot of repackaged stoic wisdom, but it's presented in a refreshing way
<2023-04-30T19:41:09.000Z> VBurner: I've seen that one at bookstores
<2023-05-01T19:33:27.000Z> gol_d_berg: that's the kind of misdirection i try for, i actually have some rusty hebrew and fairly fluent nip and chink (mandarin)
<2023-05-01T19:33:45.000Z> gol_d_berg: telling you in case that will be useful to you but not putting that out there
<2023-05-01T19:36:16.000Z> VBurner: lmao
<2023-05-01T19:36:34.000Z> gol_d_berg: if you do ever have moonspeak questions though hmu
<2023-05-01T21:19:43.000Z> gol_d_berg: thanks to that stupid poll i repoasted i have had live and learn stuck in my head for the last hour
<2023-05-01T21:20:19.000Z> VBurner: youtube.com/watch?v=NucG0kD3pkg
<2023-05-01T21:20:53.000Z> gol_d_berg: 🔥 
<2023-05-01T21:21:29.000Z> VBurner: youtube.com/watch?v=L_bImwAmdAw
<2023-05-01T21:21:55.000Z> gol_d_berg: are the sonic movies worth watchinfg
<2023-05-01T21:22:37.000Z> VBurner: haven't seen them 
<2023-05-04T16:04:16.000Z> gol_d_berg: you steal the book yet?
<2023-05-04T16:04:45.000Z> gol_d_berg: those chubby art girls aren't gonna seduce themselves
<2023-05-04T17:29:30.000Z> VBurner: I did 
<2023-05-04T17:29:39.000Z> VBurner: I've been kinda busy so I haven't started
<2023-05-04T17:33:07.000Z> gol_d_berg: good shit, step at a time
<2023-05-04T17:34:15.000Z> gol_d_berg: today is a big step for me. gonna tackle my storage and find that XLR so i can put my first shitty skeleton up of city escape
<2023-05-04T19:06:41.000Z> VBurner: oh shit nice 
<2023-05-08T18:48:57.000Z> gol_d_berg: stay strong brother, you’re better than degrading yourself with that shit
<2023-05-08T18:49:17.000Z> VBurner: thank you
<2023-05-08T18:51:41.000Z> gol_d_berg: that was always the strongest motivator for me. I’m not allowing myself to have a forbidden pleasure, I’m pissing in my temple
<2023-05-08T18:52:10.000Z> VBurner: gotta cut the Jew out of your life 
<2023-05-08T18:52:41.000Z> gol_d_berg: Don’t let him turn you into a monkey version of yourself
