badposting is a comm where you post badly


This is not a !the_dunk_tank@hexbear.net alternative. This is not a !memes@hexbear.net alternative. This is a place for you to post your bad posts.

Ever had a really shitty bit idea? Joke you want to take way past the point of where it was funny? Want to feel like a stand-up comedy guy who's been bombing a set for the past 30 minutes straight and at this point is just saying shit to see if people react to it? Really bad pun? A homemade cringe concoction? A cognitohazard that you have birthed into this world and have an urge to spread like chain mail?


Rules:

  1. Do not post good posts.
    • Unauthorized goodposting is to be punished in the manner of commenting the phrase "GOOD post" followed by an emoji that has not yet been used in the thread
    • Use an emoticon/kaomoji/rule-three-abiding ASCII art if the rations run out
  2. This is not a comm where you direct people to other people's bad posts. This is a comm where you post badly.
  3. This rule intentionally left blank.
  4. If you're struck for rule 3, skill issue, not allowed to complain about it.

Code of Conduct applies just as much here as it does everywhere else. Technically, CoC violations are bad posts. On the other hand: L + ratio + get ~~better~~ worse material bozo

Bad posting doesn't just mean offensive posting you know.

angery

Wait till you fall down both the guitar gear and synth rabbit holes simultaneously

The ninth circle of guitar effects GAS hell is building a eurorack skiff to act purely as a guitar effects processor.

side-eye-1side-eye-2

...I am dangerously close to having done this. In my studio rack, I have two pull-out drawers for an in-rack pedalboard split across both. Each one has cables (in a drag chain for easier pullin' out) that run up to the back of a Behringer patchbay set to pass-thru mode on all of its ports. Then I just jumper things. I also have breakout panels on the side of the desk (which are also hooked up to the patchbay) so that I can run cables out to my amp's input and effects loop jacks.

The original idea was that I like my noise gate, but it's a pain in the ass to move between amps, and also that I like certain drive/distortion boxes with certain amps (e.g., a Rat clone sounds great through a dimed out Princeton Reverb, but I prefer a TS on my solid state Marshalls and HATE the Rat on those), and I was sick of swapping them around all the time. Once I started reading up on Eurorack setups, I got that feeling of existential horror. You know exactly the one.

Mmmm yes, the simultaneous awe and dread at the idea of that much control and choice of audio processing and routing, coupled with temptation contrasted with “it’ll cost me HOW much to do that?”

More like "fuck, I reinvented Eurorack but for guitar reamp signal chains. All roads lead to Wendy Carlos."

[–] PKMKII@hexbear.net 2 points 3 weeks ago

A lot of guitar pedals these days have eurorack i/o so you could bridge the gap without having to buy a single module.

Too bad I fucking suck at keyslea-finger-guns

If you can play a drone chord, you can program a TB-303 bassline

Probably

Failing that, most keyboards have arpeggiators nowadays

who needs ability when you've got eurorack

I saw he couldn't hate the M8 Dirtywave. My mans is a chipchooner now

The jams on today’s episode were peak. If the tracker workflow didn’t look like some sort of demonic spell it would tempt me.

[–] tombruzzo@hexbear.net 3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

It's inspired by how music was made on the original gameboy. I worked with a guy in the chiptune scene and he was all over this when it came out

[–] PKMKII@hexbear.net 1 points 3 weeks ago

Oh I know the history of trackers, doesn’t change that it makes my head feel like it’s turning into mush.

At first glance, this badpost is ticking all the boxes

[–] Hexamerous@hexbear.net 3 points 3 weeks ago

Dunno who said it but being a "gifted kid" is just the "I could've gone pro" but for nerds.
