@Cheeseness Is it possible that you are starting to age in reverse and future you is trying to find you in our present time?

IDK how else to describe it but y'all know the style of things in Poppy Playtime where most things are frequently a neutral, low saturation beige / grey with slightly desaturated primary colors as accents? I low key want to have some or all of my workstation (where I make games) to look like that.

Is that a thing at all? Bonus points if the base color is that retro cream color older computers were

Sometime around the 2020 era, we lost the right to be mediocre at things we love.

No longer can you just bake bread...you must start a sourdough side hustle lol. Wanna stay fit and go jogging or running? Nah, you gotta optimize your biometrics for a marathon. What my point is that every hobby has been enshittified and gentrified into a brand opportunity.

This strange infatuation with optimization culture is killing the human spirit.

So this new year, starting tomorrow, one of my resolutions is to do something bad but fun. Maybe I write a terrible poem. I like to draw and paint, so perhaps I will draw a horse that looks like a table or sing off-key in the showers or in front of my loved ones. The algorithm driving the mainstream social media wants me to be a polished product, but my humanity lives in these messy, unoptimized, cringe-inducing joyful failures.

I will try to reclaim the right to be an amateur. Will you join me?

To spell this out clearly, the reason RAM has quadrupled in price is that a huge quantity of RAM that hasn't been produced yet has been bought with money that doesn't exist to populate GPUs that also haven't been produced to go in datacenters that haven't been built powered by infrastructure that may never exist to meet a demand that doesn't exist at all to make profit margins that mathematically can't exist while economists talk about this thing they call the "rational markets hypothesis".

hello!! a lil #introduction would be good I suppose :)

I love to sew, knit, read and chat about books, and I write about those things on my blog, incoporealbard.online.

used to work in tech but have escaped and am going back to school! I'm studying gender, sexuality, and queer theory in Portland, OR.

you may also find me playing a tabletop game or hyperfixating on a game or show.

covid conscious and happily masking 😷

also like someone should commission me. Most things are starting at $15 USD for development of game components. And the professional experience of doing comms could actually help me finally land a full time software job someday. So like, I really want to get paid gigs. I can be a bit flexible around things, especially for friends!

Edit: since this is getting boosted heres my link

Valentina was watching cat tv when the mouse ran out of the side of the laptop. This is the look I got. Because of course, it's my fault and my job to fix it.

@queenofsquiggles Sounds like a bit crusher to me. I couldn't find any built-in effect for it in Audacity 3.7.

I've found a couple of bitcrushers on AirWindows (FOSS, diverse audio plugins maintained by one person) that might fit what you're looking for to replicate that effect. I have not tested them but the maintainer puts a demonstration of each plugin on their page.
