Hot take: the web should not be more human.

And I'm pretty progressive on technological matters. There should still be a clear separation, though.

Supreme beef chalupas.

My saying, as it relates to Taco Bell, is: "It's shit, but it's good shit."

My favorite melee that, albeit AFAIK well respected, you don't actually ever see in the wild is Stropha.

The style definitely does not suit every frame, but my Volt, Zephyr, and Mag can take crazy advantage of it.

It was only a few days ago I took Corufell off Mag and replaced it with Stropha. Should've done that wayyyy earlier.

Hopefully you haven't gotten too far into your own clan, because the best strategy for people doing solo clans is to actually be in a clan with completed research first, replicate all of the blueprints, and then split off and do your own thing. Otherwise you are bottlenecking yourself pretty significantly.

Yes, you'll hear about people that completed all research solo, but usually those are players that are already far into the game and are just doing it for the memes.

Total research costs on this page.

TL;DR: cut your losses, join a complete clan, replicate absolutely everything, restart your personal clan.

Limbo is a frame from the old times. He used to be pretty neat, but as the game evolved, his gimmick became less and less valuable and useful.

Yeah. I never considered that this wouldn't be normal, though. I kinda always had a "healthier than average" palate throughout my childhood as well as doing physical activities, and maybe the discernment comes from that as you're suggesting.

Is there anyone in particular you've spoken to that doesn't have this sense?

It's such a great concept and the lumatone is beautiful execution. Hopefully I can start saving for one sometime this decade.

In my opinion that's a pretty generous list of reasons to buy a game without much further questioning or research. I think the last game I almost immediately bought ~10 minutes after hearing about it was YOMI Hustle for $5 in May of last year.

That said, looking through my purchase history I can tell you that the amount I have spent on Warframe, a F2P game, is vile.

If you don't have a particular need for lyrics, or lyrics that you can understand (presumably), I've got a few for you.

The following is a very short performance for a promotional video for the Lumatone keyboard, but I have it saved in my playlist because of how beautiful it is.

I think it demonstrates the vastness of the musical realm by splitting the notes we typically associate with western music into different (and often more numerous) divisions of the octave. One of the best applications of this besides getting that ethereal feeling is that it allows you to explore intervals to a finer degree i.e. achieve cleaner melodic and harmonic tones that are mathematically pleasing to the human ear and mind. This whole concept is called microtonality if anyone is interested. And to your question, OP, I think searching in this area can help you find some of that cosmic, alternative sound you're looking for.

I know I got a little bit away from the question here, but getting into the microtonal/xenharmonic realm was so magical for me because while I enjoy your typical music theory teachings, I'm very much on the more scientific side of things, and music has always been that intriguing intersection between the indiscriminate and cosmic nature of mathematics and the emotional and beautifully flawed nature of artistic expression. Finding the community and literature around xenharmonic music helped me find my way of exploring music in a way that comes naturally to me.

Edit: One that's a little more "energetic" that I always get lost in. The entire album is great, but this track in particular - Homestuck: Medium - Frogs (YT Link)

I'd really hate to see them just tape overguard on another frame and call it fixed.

To keep Trinity's kit true to her essence, she needs massive scaling damage reduction capabilities. This way, pulse healing abilities can actually be relevant.

This is probably be beyond what DE means by "light rework," but if they'd rework her 4th ability to work similarly to Harrow's Covenant, where you have a damage absorption period followed by an uncapped but decreasing function of absorbed damage to damage reduction, I think she could regain her relevance.

Please no taped on overguard.

Hidden Brain. It's a psychology podcast, but it's aimed at anyone who wants to understand their minds more. I'm not in the field of psychology, but I certainly enjoy it.

Soft Skills Engineering for software engineers, about soft skills. They have fun.

bcuz its qwiker

 

I'm mainly curious about software developers here, or anyone else whose computer is somewhat central to their life, be it professional or hobbyist.

I only have two monitors—one directly in front of me, and another to the right of it, angled toward me. For web development, I keep my editor on the main screen, and anything auxiliary (be that a dev build, a video, StackOverflow, etc.) on the side screen.

I wouldn't mind a third monitor, and if I had one, I'd definitely use it for log/output, since currently it's a floating window that I shuffle around however necessary. It could be smaller than the other two, and I might even turn it vertical so I could split the screen between output and a terminal, configuring a AutoHotKey script to focus the terminal.

What about y'all?
