youtu.be/fPVH_aGvfzU Found a nice video about blueshell in Mario Kart. The cartoon racing game I played in my childhood was Nexon's KartRider, and it had a similar item, the UFO, it limits the first player's speed for a short time. I understand why it exists. Different from Mario Kart, KartRider is more punishing in mistakes players made. And it has a pure racing mode without items, this combo makes the game desperately frustrating for players who falls behind. While the item mode gives less feeling of achievement, since you are not winning with your skills but a little too much luck, but much more playable for all. Partly I don't agree about this design because I know the emotion that behind the players who need blueshell or UFO, is envy. I know how ugly this emotion is, it's the worst sin that I hate it so much. But the frustration of falling behind in a racing game, is so natural and real, I cannot deny that as a human, I don't want to devote time and effort to the racing game that always let me feel the frustration of falling behind again and again. I will just give up and turn to other easier games. The real life or real auto racing is without blueshell or UFO, but since Mario Kart and KartRider are games which allow us to escape from the reality, it is a reasonable design. But what if... real life has it, too? What if in real life, there are mechanisms that limiting the 1st player's speed can make it playable for all? Like in pre-1980s American companies there was not so much competition, and American workers lived happier than now. Traditonal Japanese companies still stick on this path, despite many people think it brings a disadvantage. I'm not sure do Japanese company owners know this blueshell theory, or just following the old way by instinct, but they are right. It's not just about two cartoon racing games anymore, but a wisdom for real life. And there's one thing important: this mechanism of limiting top players, must not be controlled by selfish humans, but transparently visible, explorable, and predictable rules. The power of punishing the top players is too strong to fall into wrong people's hands, their envy will destroy everything. Once it happens, it'll not be like a blueshell in Mario Kart that brings more fun, but like Overwatch's frequent nerfs, leading to endless arguments, and player decreasing.

@ShitpostRock2 And I guess people won't underestimate Shermans after playing it.

@Grummz Like Yasuke was not a samurai until Ubisoft made the game.

😂Wikipedia is full of lies.

@Grummz Great, another cheap weapon that does permanent heavy metal soil pollution. The idots who open sourced it are naive about humanity. They may just want to show off their creativity but the cost in the future will be heavy.

Robotics are cool. This is open source, 3d printable.

@hiddenhand69 @AtRealBen Thanks for inspiring me. I thought about this, and it's worse. If you can only "rent" media via streaming, it's not that bad. But subscription is another thing. x.com/i/status/20400…

@AtRealBen Streaming is renting.

👌🏻🔥

Subscription on a streaming platform is another thing. It means you pay for a centerized authority a fixed number of money, expecting it to provide services that maintains it's quality. But even it gives you a little worse services next month, you feel inconvenient to cancle the subscription. Now the cycle continues endlessly, month after month. It's not fair for the creators, too. Let's use the music industry as an example, only 4% of the income comes from streaming platforms. Musicians have to make such a terrible income via a rigged recommendation algorithms but not the real freemarket.

Yes, we should move back to discs. A good thing is, there's an important part in capitalism world called "second handed market". When someone do a good purchase decision, there comes a reward: the goods can maintain its value and be sold again at a good price. If someone buys a rubbish movie or TV drama's DVD, here comes the punishment: the money he paid only brings a one-time experience, and never come back via 2nd handed market. Let buying movies, TV dramas and games become wise choices again. And it will help the industry fix its mistakes and make good pruducts again.

@shanenewville @T1K_HDKZLOVER yea that's a possibility that I may need it, thanks.

haha. I felt the same at first. I used FL Studio for 18 year. I didn't like the changes they made in v12 & eventually started looking at other DAWs. Now Ableton Live is my main & use Renoise when I want do have fun chopping breaks. trackers look overwhelming but they have been around forever. People used them for game music ages ago. Maybe save it for a time when you are feeling burnt out & want to try something new.

初心者ワイ、混乱

@shanenewville @T1K_HDKZLOVER I searched it and found more overwhelming things to learn😭. And a single DAW with plug-ins are already overwhelming.

@Labyrinth_Mage @T1K_HDKZLOVER Use whatever helps you create more enjoyably. Have you tried trackers? Renoise is pretty cool and fairly cheap, but it is a much different style of creation. It is more sample based, but it does support plugins. Best modern tracker out there.

@DingerBox 最初はAKAI MPK miniキーボードを購入してもらった無料DAWで、コピーと貼り付けでも無いので、移行しなきゃ。

作曲家は最初に触ったdawを親と認識してついて行く習性があります。

Mine was quite basic on instruments, only some EQ setting. A bit more complicated for the vocal, but not perfect yet. (I only set 1 track, but I knew later that I could make multiple tracks with a little differences to make it sound like multi-record). It was just a free live in school, far from pro level. Thanks for recommending but I'm not going to swap to any other DAWs since a DAW is not cheap, and the cap is always the composer/sound engineer, the human using it.

@Labyrinth_Mage @T1K_HDKZLOVER When you say band, do you mean recording a band performance (drums, guitar, bass, vocals, strings, etc.)? It can, but ProTools does that better. All of these DAWs cover the main features, but I thought it was funny Live described as "loop based". It really depends on the user

@shanenewville @T1K_HDKZLOVER It was Ableton Live 11 tho, i dunno was it worse at band than now. I sound engineered my first live with my Ableton Live 12.

@T1K_HDKZLOVER They gave Ableton Live a misleading description. It does everything

Introducing the SM58: Pre-Dented Edition. Every unit ships with an authentic grille dent so you can skip straight to looking like you've been on the road for 20 years. Limited time only.

@shure LMAO, I choose SM57 with a popfilter.

@penkokoo @Grummz I can speak both and I know the social environments of these two are very different. The difference is not as big as North and South Korea, but still huge. It's not that simple like they are all Asians so they are similar.

@Grummz Be respectful to the Chinese, they may pretend to be Japanese, but they dominate in high standard video games, AI tools, EVs, what does the Japanese have left to offer now

X should permaban all location fakers pretending to be Japanese.

@Kalpy97 @skinscom Most people don't have the will to learn how to install a Linux OS, they even don't have the will to know its benefit. That's how important this cube is. A plug-in-and-play machine, that protects freedom and privacy for any random people but not tech nerds.

@Labyrinth_Mage @skinscom Just get any pc lol

Valve's Steam Machine price could be saved thanks to collapsing RAM prices

That's why I don't think AI will take the soul in music away. Because music's already a living dead since 1997. It's just a judgement day, bringing the dead a rest in peace, I'd say.
