Wait-- *is* my generation responsible for "yeet"? Ewwww...

Me when I came back after 3 days: "Niggas try to be king but the Ace is back"

And to bother you once more:
Do you know what kind of echo is used in this track?

Is it a single-channel echo simulation (adding shorter and softer notes in between the main ones on the same channel) or a legitimate two-channel echo? I think it's single-channel, but I can't really hear the differences between the two types, especially not when the music is quite fast.

"Prince of Persia: the Sands of Time (...) Revealed in March 2003 (...) Released October 23rd, 2003" DAMN, they waited that long to reveal it? Those *kind, kind* bastards.
I wish we could import game unveiling policies like that into the new era (cough) mario odyssey zelda bah-tyoo* etc. (cough)

Fun fact: the Prince (of Persia) is literally Sasuke
...and apparently also acts like him in Warrior Within (to my dismay).

You guys remember that ditty my old teacher made, the one I Wario-fied last month: "Soft Shell, Softer Heart"?
It's on SoundCloud now. https://soundcloud.com/tahutoa/soft-shell-softer-heart

I've just concocted a filter that works as the reverse for my WL4 Peaking Filter preset. This is good for when you want to make an instrument sound more like it came from Wario Land 4, if only for the sake of making the quality diff. less jarring, and as a bonus, tricking those not already in the know.

"Even more important than these technical specifications are the sound quality, ease of use, and the feel of any synth. These are more difficult to quantify and require musicians to actually experience the instrument in order to determine if it is right for their production needs." yes hello um what the fuck does this mean?

Do I need to pick up a bass guitar and play the shit before I can decide whether I can use it (in your shitty Reason 10)? Or does it just mean I need to spend some time with it before I use it, in which case no fuckin' shit.

Oh yeah, this class is meant for people who've never used MIDI anything before (in which case why the fuck are you using reason 10). I remember *I* was a dumbass in the beginning-- I didn't even understand to line up notes with the grid because I didn't know how tempo worked yet. It was literally ugly.

@tahutoa the audio expert: Do you know how the sound that is used as the lead in this tune is called?

It can be heard in a lot of NES and other 8-bit games, and this penetrating, instantly regonisable sound gives me a huge nostalgia boost, even when it occurs in games that I haven't played. I assume it's a high-pitched, heavily modified 25% square wave, but I'm far from sure.

Big Bad Wolf: *tries to blow the house down once... twice... thrice...*
Stick Pig: *opens a hatch at the top of the door, offers wolf some "Lusterine" mouthwash*
Big Bad Wolf: *pauses a second, realizes what they're implying, slaps it away*

So, I was watching the 'Three Pigs' Merry Melody, and I was thinking to myself, whilst the flute pig & stick pig were dancing gaily, "man, there is no way that there wasn't at least one furry on this animation team." Or, at the very least, this cartoon made at least one furry out of someone. For some really odd the reason the two of them had this tag-team sensual energy to them and it confuses me. And the way they followed the Big Bad Wolf behind a rock with those looks on their faces felt like the beginning of a hentai or something. I'm not a full-on furry-- that's the jester's job-- but I won't deny that there's definitely something there.

Apparently there existed a king named "Pippin the Short." Oh, those wacky medieval title-givers

Underused relationship dynamic: the 'leader' type and the 'willing subordinate' type. One is a fiery sort, the charismatic one-- doesn't hesitate to push the other one around, perhaps even actively be a dick to them, but everything rolls off the subordinate's back-- nothing phases them within reason, but chances are if something does they'll call their partner out on it, optimally. They go along with whatever the 'leader' type says.

HOWEVER, unlike whichever anime onee-sama shit you're probably thinking of in response to this description, in this case it's the LEADER-type who's hopelessly in love with the MINION, not the other way around. They'll wait 'til no one's looking before even insinuating it, but their heart beats for their minion. Because, sometimes, the unstoppable force and the immovable object will *get along* because of their natures. Bonus points if the leader is small and the minion a tall.

We see this a good amount in platonic relationships-- MegaMind & Minion, Dedede & Escargoon, Perry & Doofenshmirtz when working together, definitely Candace & Stacey... uhh, Sonic & Tails (the Fleetway comics, specifically), and some others I've forgotten about, probably (oh yeah, King Julian and that koala guy)-- but I don't think oh no wait, Carl & Redhead Girl from the beginning of Up... yeah that's all I got for romantic relationships using the dynamic.

Someone give me examples if you can, because I think the idea of, say, a tyrannical, chatty, fiery-tempered director of state being head over heels for their stoic, collected, Alfred-like right hand, is cute as hell.

I've always wondered how 'papa' came about. 'Mama' makes sense, because mother. But, apparently, the origin of 'papa' is Italian. Probably. Because "pope" is derived from "papa," apparently.

I decided to participate, naturally, especially since the jester was disappointed that the story seemed to have reached its end. And, hopefully, this new pivot I've taken Wario on will help take the narrative to some interesting places.

Dude, some of those posts in the 'Wario walks into a bar' thread were just plain lame. Thanks to Robin though, we derailed the thread from the initial 'every post a contained story' goal and started one continuous story. I was honestly surprised at how barebones and "jumpy" the first page was, after the second page spoiled me with its overarching narrative. I had jumped to stupidface's rowboat post, and with the exception of CMV's barely-disguised fetishism, was surprised at how solid this improv exercise was turning out to be.

In other news, really happy with how the sentence mixing turned out for this one song, because I managed to make it successfully sound like all the words in that section using only the 37 voice samples included in WL4 =

I never realized how many songs were in 125bpm.

I have no idea if the post I made in the Introductions category is actually shit or w/e but I feel like a total fag regardless. I feel like I should leave it up though, it's still somewhat therapeutic, I think-- like cough medicine or smth. Plus, if the stuff I wrote in the tags helps anyone in the future, then that's all the better.
