  • My dreams exceed my real life
    You know, Goosebumps had some great covers.

    The plot you came up with looking at the covers was generally better than the book itself.

    Fun fact: The Hh logo was designed from the start to work at 16 by 16. The favicon was the first thing I made for it after the sketches.

    Skullboy's logo was a little larger than that though, maybe 50 by 50, but not too big.

    Just my opinion honestly.

    Given what we know about Mega Man, wouldn't that tattoo imply that he killed a marine and stole their powers?

    I keep listening to this on a loop:


    It's the onestop.mid file included with Microsoft Windows (check C:\WINDOWS\MEDIA\ if you're curious), but played through a modern soundfont instead of Windows' default not-improved-in-15-years midi playback.

    The father of one of my friends passed away, and his father in the computer industry. Anyway, said friend is cleaning out all of his dad's old tech stuff and he's found alot of old, never-opened still-in-package old tech and one of the items is a Diamond Monster PCI soundcard from 1996 complete with a detachable wavetable on it (which means I can replace it with any other wavetable I want.) So I made an offer on it -- turns out these old sound cards are still demanding $50-70 new on amazon and ebay and the like.

    oh my goodddddddddd 

    sell that to a producer. Those things go for way more than $70 amongst musicians. You can wring really cool sounds out of them if they're hoooked up to the proper equipment.

    Well I want it because I like properly rendered midi tunes myself 
  • Ah.

    This is a valid reason for wanting one.

    I used to have an AWE32 (maybe I still do, I don't know) with 8MB on it. Also had a few wavetables, including a nice Yamaha one. 

    When I was over in Japan I was hoping to run across a shop that still had those rackmounted Rolands and Edirols but I really didn't go looking -- hell, I didn't know where to look.

    I'm not sure it's something wrong with my scanner. It just tends to accentuate all my worst qualities as an artist.

  • Happy date of birth, Jay-Z.
  • JZ!

    It is the day on which you were born.

    Like, many years ago,

    And you were tiny and covered in strange fluids

    But now you're here and awesome!

    And this is a strange birthday poem.
  • Remember back in the 50s when they'd record like Elvis singing YOU AIN'T NOTHIN BUT A HOUND DOG and then they'd turn the record over and reverse it and it was all NYERP NYERP NYERP NYERP NYERP and people were all like, "That is actually the voice of Satan coming from that song."
    Happy birthday, JZ! Hope it's a good one.

    Yarr, I shall print  that off and frame it forever.


    Sunn: Yup, it is

    and thank you, Tre.

    Thanks Gator, so far it has =)
  • Cornelius Cardew's "suddenly extremely earnest Maoist" musical phase is deeply odd

    he was a very western avant-garde composer in the 70s who then did a huge u-turn, renounced the avant-garde, begun composing what he thought were rousing socialist anthems (they're a bit.... uh... "adorable."), and was promptly mysteriously killed in a hit-and-run accident

    huh

    all we have are these earnest, pretty much kitschy now, extremely amateur (he was against trained musicians), in contxt of his death though almost haunting songs...

    huh...

  • Heems is the better member of Das Racist, and I'm really glad they split up cuz now I can just hear him by himself.

    Happy Birthday, JZ.

    Sunn Wolf what is avant-garde, anyway? I've seen people call 11.975MHz "avant-garde" and I guess that means "weird and new" as best I can tell 
  • hello...

    ...
  • Happy Birthday, JZ.


    Sunn Wolf what is avant-garde, anyway? I've seen people call 11.975MHz "avant-garde" and I guess that means "weird and new" as best I can tell 



    avant-garde is just basically a rejection of normalcy.

    you could call 11.975MHz avant-garde because it's not very similar to contemporary comics. Though it has a little bit in common with some other webcomics.

    Hello, Tools. 
  • does CB radio transmit on 11.975 megahertz or does the name come from somewhere else?

    Happy Birthday, JZ!

    It occurs to me that I could have easily checked your birthday before by looking on your profile page... >_>
  • Sunn Wolf what is avant-garde, anyway? I've seen people call 11.975MHz "avant-garde" and I guess that means "weird and new" as best I can tell 



    it is when a work of art is - usually quite deliberately - experimental or unconventional. basically breaking away from general norms in culture

    i have never read your webcomic (maybe i should? i might do that now) so i cant tell you how accurate they might be

    apparently isolation and being alone is a trigger for me

    At the time there was this rather odd Japanese fellow on the IRC channel I hung out named Ryo Shiroma who liked to listen to shortwave radio bands and he would announce such on IRC, such as "Listening to 10.800MHz" and the like. Whenever I came up with Deco and company, I stated that I needed a name for my comic and stated that the next statement on the channel was the comic's name, so you know the rest. 

    Anyway, I found out a few years ago that Ryo quietly left America and returned to Japan and passed away. Nobody knows from what, we didn't find out until years later when one of his family contacted one of his American friends. 

    Also, Ryo was the one who came up with many of the strange terms in the comic, such as "wm" which TVT lists as an "arc word" for some reason.

    well okay, just clicking on the website and seeing this, completely without any context, certainly comes across as having at least a sniff of the avant-garde about it

    That's sad.

    Also "wm" was probably put there by the two or three people who are convinced the comic has some super secret plot.
