[00:06:44] Dadrobit I wish I had more time for animes. Hopefully when I'm done w/ school...

[00:09:15] unsteddyphoenix Anime is so noncommital, just 20 mins

[00:09:53] unsteddyphoenix Im very slowly rewatching westworld 'cause each ep is like an hour long

[00:09:58] unsteddyphoenix Even though I really like it

[00:13:11] Dadrobit Problem is that if I can't bingewatch a show, I kinda flake on it.

[00:13:40] Dadrobit And life is full of interruptions at the moment.

[00:15:17] Vatruvius Hey guys! Still chatting away I see

[00:15:19] unsteddyphoenix im the opposite, I never bingewatch unless im with friends

[00:15:30] unsteddyphoenix Or it's AMAZING

[00:15:34] unsteddyphoenix i guess

[00:15:52] Bgrmystr2 I don't get w/ friends often, so I bingewatch all the time

[00:16:40] Vatruvius I binge watch most of the time unless I am forced not to...like getting an HBO subscription to watch GoT one Saturday at a time.

[00:23:58] Vatruvius Hmm...is it wrong that I like listening to an album on Spotify called "The Stalin Album?"

[00:24:09] NightMeaty22 walks up to the door and knocks

[00:24:43] NightMeaty22 Can i come in?

[00:24:46] Dadrobit Commies. Commies everywhere.

[00:25:12] Vatruvius asks Stalin if NightMeaty22 can come in.

[00:25:58] Vatruvius is directed to say "niet" and proceeds to shut the door in NightMeaty22's face.

[00:26:03] Vatruvius :ptv-hearts:

[00:26:07] NightMeaty22 prefers pandora

[00:27:09] Vatruvius *Russion accent* "Russian music...best kind of music."

[00:27:32] NightMeaty22 sits on the porch in a box

[00:28:19] NightMeaty22 I like techno music

[00:28:29] Vatruvius opens the door and directs NightMeaty22 to get off the United Peoples' Porch and leave the box.

[00:29:49] NightMeaty22 takes his door 2 tables and wall then leaves

[00:30:09] NightMeaty22 Sorry this stuff is mine

[00:31:05] Vatruvius sighs and calls the KGB. *salutes* "It was nice knowing you NightMeaty22.

[00:32:09] NightMeaty22 is found hanging in the tree the next day

[00:32:57] Vatruvius Wearing a sign that reads "Diplomatic dissidents beware!"

[00:33:36] Bgrmystr2 Night, you went to the wrong house

[00:33:44] SpazztasticKiwi Bagheera is spoiled. Despite there being two water bowls in the house, he drinks from the spare bowl in my room

[00:33:53] Bgrmystr2 the one that isn't mean and volatile is over here

[00:34:08] NightMeaty22 Oh

[00:34:12] SpazztasticKiwi And only water from my water bottle, unless I get it from the sink in front of him

[00:34:23] Bgrmystr2 there's a reason we don't speak of that house

[00:34:26] Bgrmystr2 or go over there

[00:34:27] Bgrmystr2 :P

[00:34:51] Bgrmystr2 many people live here.. some.. not so welcoming

[00:35:00] NightMeaty22 gets out of the tree returns the stuff and walks over here

[00:35:15] Vatruvius has been directed by Stalin himself to destroy this "nice house" until nothing remains. He has been asked to lead the operation, "It would be my pleasure!"

[00:35:40] Bgrmystr2 :ptv-SteelwormHades: good luck vatru. I'll stand by you looking like this for the rest of your life.

[00:35:47] Bgrmystr2 You want this?

[00:35:52] Bgrmystr2 cuz I'll do it.

[00:36:24] Bgrmystr2 it may or may not also make you miserable

[00:36:30] Vatruvius had Bgrmystr2 sent to the gulag.

[00:36:35] Bgrmystr2 mhm okay

[00:36:38] NightMeaty22 proceeds to live in a cave

[00:37:16] Bgrmystr2 so while vatru is having a mental breakdown on the floor frothing at the mouth from my face, how's everyone else doin?

[00:37:41] Vatruvius says in a Russian accent, "Russian superiority, best superiority."

[00:37:55] Bgrmystr2 ahh now he's gurgling..

[00:38:00] Bgrmystr2 :/

[00:38:12] Bgrmystr2 I should just leave him be and go get somethin to eat :u

[00:38:25] Vatruvius lol

[00:38:29] unsteddyphoenix Well I see I picked the right time to start dinner

[00:38:31] Vatruvius I can't....

[00:38:53] NightMeaty22 He had too much mushroom juice

[00:39:24] Vatruvius Nah...I am on a strict diet of vodka only. Tis all I need to live.

[00:39:48] NightMeaty22 Vodka is mushroom juice

[00:40:25] Vatruvius I can see it now...a future sketch suggestion that will surely be immediately removed by Tom. Won't even make it to the polls.

[00:40:45] NightMeaty22 ...?

[00:41:47] Vatruvius Keith, leading the Basitin USSR. Trace, leading the Human USA. Flora, leading the Tiger UK. Natani, leading the Wolf West Germany.

[00:42:38] Vatruvius Basically political posters.

[00:42:43] Vatruvius But Twokinds edition.

[00:42:54] Vatruvius Yeah...not way is this going to happen.

[00:42:57] Vatruvius no*

[00:43:15] NightMeaty22 starts running at the sketchy house then explodes because of a landmine

[00:44:07] NightMeaty22 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[00:44:10] Vatruvius and the guards use NightMeaty22 as target practice before he steps on the mine.

[00:45:27] Vatruvius Every miss is another shot of vodka..."Sergei, go get another case! We are running out of vodka!"

[00:46:25] NightMeaty22 No the guards explode because of the vodka and that the guns were rigged

[00:46:56] Vatruvius take another shot, "They weren't Russian enough anyway."

[00:47:01] Vatruvius takes*

[00:47:25] NightMeaty22 gets out of the crater and walks away

[00:47:28] Vatruvius "Pure Russians never die...*hic"

[00:47:43] Vatruvius takes another shot.

[00:48:44] NightMeaty22 watches Vatruvius pass out and slip into a coma

[00:49:23] SpazztasticKiwi I’m gonna go on to bed

[00:49:35] Vatruvius "Russians do not pass out, vodka is our water! Vatruvius just decides to take a short nap."

[00:49:37] SpazztasticKiwi You guys knock yourselves out

[00:49:41] Vatruvius Good night Kiwi!

[00:50:03] NightMeaty22 Cya Spazz

[00:50:24] Vatruvius What...no laughs from anyone? Sheesh...tough crowd.

[00:51:07] Dadrobit cya spazz

[00:51:53] unsteddyphoenix Much like russian rockets

[00:51:55] unsteddyphoenix The jokes didnt land

[00:52:19] Bgrmystr2 could be NKorean rockets. Exploded upon launch? :V

[00:52:27] Bgrmystr2 also, back with hotdogs

[00:52:31] Vatruvius :ptv-shock:

[00:53:09] NightMeaty22 ☻

[00:53:20] Bgrmystr2 back to watchin Flying Witch for me.

[00:55:12] NightMeaty22 "Sky captain come in sky captain"

[00:55:22] Vatruvius How do Russian jokes better unsteddy?

[00:57:17] NightMeaty22 "Danger danger cargo release immanent"

[00:59:05] Dadrobit Obnoxious roleplaying aside, Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow was a pretty good movie.

[00:59:28] NightMeaty22 Yes

[00:59:33] NightMeaty22 It is

[00:59:36] BadFoMo Yep.

[00:59:43] Dadrobit 100 minute set up for a "You left the camera lens cap on" gag.

[00:59:49] Vatruvius Obnoxious!? :ptv-sad:

[00:59:59] Vatruvius Neither of those movies ring a bell.

[01:00:07] Dadrobit Single movie title.

[01:01:17] NightMeaty22 "Polly lens cap"

[01:02:22] NightMeaty22 Well...good morning i guess

[01:02:47] NightMeaty22 12:02am

[01:03:36] Vatruvius Is it not slightly creepy how well Ubisoft captured the whole cult thing in Far Cry 5?

[01:04:02] Vatruvius And I am dropping the Russian thing...turned off the music. I am myself again.

[01:04:04] Vatruvius Few.

[01:04:47] NightMeaty22 Sky captain is $3.99 at walmart

[01:05:35] Dadrobit It's 95% greenscreen animation.

[01:06:10] NightMeaty22 True

[01:06:13] Dadrobit Haven't watched it in a good while, but I recall the animation was passable.

[01:06:45] Dadrobit The stabilization of it really helped.

[01:07:14] Dadrobit stylization*

[01:08:21] NightMeaty22 https://youtu.be/QADSPIQhO6Y

[01:09:58] NightMeaty22 Well i'm off to bed

[01:10:39] Vatruvius Hold up...I am watching this clip you linked NightMeaty...is Sky Captain blah blah blah about an American fighter pilot battling Nazi with mega robots?

[01:11:08] Dadrobit British

[01:12:01] Vatruvius But that is a Bulldog paint job on his plane. That is American.

[01:12:26] NightMeaty22 Battling German scientists robots

[01:12:27] Dadrobit The Captain is British.

[01:14:10] Vatruvius When was this made?

[01:14:52] Dadrobit 2004

[01:15:34] Vatruvius Huh...this is like a total post WW2 spoof film on the war.

[01:16:05] Vatruvius Evil advanced Germans trying to destroy the world, one good guy taking them on and saving the day.

[01:16:24] Vatruvius It is comically appealing.

[01:58:09] Vatruvius Well, good night everyone! :ptv-greetings:

[02:04:31] Bgrmystr2 :ptv-greetings: Gnight vatru

[02:21:02] DarthRexKing I am going to sleep. Goodnight.

[02:25:05] Twokinds NIGHT!!!

[02:28:16] unsteddyphoenix Hey Tom when are you going to sleep?

[02:28:40] Twokinds 17 minutes from now.

[02:28:53] unsteddyphoenix ok. Im setting me alarm.

[02:29:34] unsteddyphoenix How long does it take to heat up a blanket

[02:30:28] Twokinds Eh, too warm for bed heating now.

[02:31:01] unsteddyphoenix Oh yeah, its becoming SUMMER for you guys.

[02:31:09] Twokinds I'm trying teeth whitener strips. They say to use them for 30 minutes.

[02:31:10] unsteddyphoenix Weird how it works in your upside down land

[02:31:23] Twokinds This is my first time trying it.

[02:31:34] Twokinds Yep! Upside down land!

[02:31:51] unsteddyphoenix Woah. I feel like I heard about those like...10 years ago

[02:31:58] unsteddyphoenix Then all the ads about them seemed to dissapear

[02:32:21] Twokinds Yeah, I haven't heard much about them recently either.

[02:32:31] Twokinds But I asked my dentist and he said they were safe.

[02:32:35] Twokinds So I thought I'd give it a go.

[02:33:12] unsteddyphoenix Oh, nice.

[02:33:16] unsteddyphoenix My teeth could be whiter

[02:33:23] unsteddyphoenix Post results later

[02:33:29] zolstarym You don't need teeth whiteners. You can just grind away the outer layer of your teeth with sandpaper, leaving nothing but the white inside parts left

[02:33:46] unsteddyphoenix Boy that sounds...

[02:33:51] zolstarym fun?

[02:34:17] unsteddyphoenix intolerably so

[02:34:30] Twokinds That doesn't sound right, but I don't know enough about teeth to dispute it.

[02:35:05] unsteddyphoenix Something something drink milk, I think?

[02:35:10] zolstarym 4/5 shop workers recommend it

[02:35:43] unsteddyphoenix Thats almost 100% damn maybe theres something to this...

[02:36:47] unsteddyphoenix If you put vinegar in your mouth would that dissolve the yellow off?

[02:38:26] zolstarym I think people did similar things a while back

[02:38:48] zolstarym "The practice of teeth-whitening began around 4,000 years ago with the ancient Egyptians, who created a whitening paste using ground pumice stone mixed in wine vinegar. White teeth were a mark of beauty and a sign of wealth."

[02:39:06] zolstarym and then: "Ancient Romans whitened their teeth using urine (you read that correctly). The ammonia in the urine was the bleaching agent."

[02:39:40] unsteddyphoenix Wow neat! :D

[02:39:53] zolstarym from https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/health/a-history-of-tooth-whitening/

[02:46:56] unsteddyphoenix oh time has passed

[02:50:02] Bgrmystr2 interestingly.. from what the dentist told me.. yellow on your teeth isn't like a coating or whatever

[02:50:09] Bgrmystr2 it's your tooth actually changing color

[02:50:32] Bgrmystr2 so you'd have to shave the outer part of the tooth deep enough to actually get to a point where it's not yellowing

[02:50:56] Bgrmystr2 not sure if that's.. healthy for teeth to begin with but

[02:50:59] Bgrmystr2 tis what I was told

[02:51:51] Twokinds I can't tell if it did anything, but it was just the first out of a 20 day treatment.

[02:52:13] Bgrmystr2 also, had someone from Nicaragua get on my skype account and start spamming that link shit that has your account name on it..

[02:52:24] unsteddyphoenix Yeah I imagine it takes some time

[02:52:32] Twokinds I'm headed to bed. G'night!

[02:52:33] Bgrmystr2 bout 40 mins ago..

[02:52:37] Bgrmystr2 gnight tom

[02:52:43] unsteddyphoenix NNNNNNNNNNNNNIGHT

[02:52:45] Bgrmystr2 spent the past 30 mins deleting messages

[02:52:56] Bgrmystr2 after changing my password for the 2nd time in 3 days

[02:53:23] unsteddyphoenix You still use skype?

[02:53:47] Bgrmystr2 I keep it online just in case ppl on there chat me. Some ppl haven't switched over to discord

[02:53:52] Bgrmystr2 but discord's still my primary

[02:54:05] Bgrmystr2 I only get messages on skype once in a blue moon

[02:54:42] Bgrmystr2 I mean.. I did use it for a good 8 years or so..

[02:54:54] Bgrmystr2 so it does kinda feel sad dropping it

[02:55:00] Bgrmystr2 :/

[03:06:12] unsteddyphoenix Yeah but

[03:06:20] unsteddyphoenix It was so annoying and unreliable

[03:06:29] unsteddyphoenix And those spammers got through like you said

[03:06:42] Bgrmystr2 yeh, unfortunately

[03:06:42] unsteddyphoenix I have no attachment to it

[03:07:08] Bgrmystr2 I have a lot of attachment myself, I used it a wholeee lot

[03:07:14] Bgrmystr2 lotta memories on there

[03:07:36] unsteddyphoenix I used it and it was annoying. Teamspeak too. Discord is better than both by miles

[03:08:00] Bgrmystr2 yeah, pity discord didn't pop into existance 8 years ago when I needed it

[03:08:08] unsteddyphoenix same

[03:08:15] Bgrmystr2 Teamspeak's audio quality was trash.. so that's why I used skype really

[03:08:42] Bgrmystr2 the control setup was way superior unfortunately, so that was a loss

[03:09:16] Bgrmystr2 but I'd rather be able to hear someone rather than hearing 5 tin cans that echo and there's nothing I can do about it

[03:10:20] Bgrmystr2 thankfully Discord is superior on both fronts.. the quality of skype's audio plus the superior setup and control of teamspeak all in one

[08:17:45] NightMeaty22 Good morning :ptv-sleepy:

[11:44:47] Barabashe4ka Hello

[14:45:56] Bgrmystr2 :ptv-sleepy:

[14:49:33] SpazztasticKiwi Phone company’s lost our bill payment again, so my phone’s been cut off. It should be fixed tonight or so, but I could be offline until sometime tomorrow

[14:51:13] SpazztasticKiwi I’ll be unavailable after 6 unless it’s fixed before I go back home

[14:57:13] Bgrmystr2 how did it get cut off? Ususally you get a month or two of backpayments before they shut it off

[14:57:38] Bgrmystr2 not quite lenient with you guys there?

[15:51:10] ThingsAreMoving More importantly how tf does a company lose a bill payment?

[15:54:42] ThingsAreMoving Also, I'm unable to watch the last 30 minutes of yesterday's stream. Can someone else check if it's working, please?

[15:59:39] Bgrmystr2 I'll give it a looksee sure

[16:03:10] Bgrmystr2 video seems to not be loading at all for me

[16:03:49] Bgrmystr2 there it goes

[16:04:09] Bgrmystr2 I told it to skip to 5 places or so.. and every time it fucked off, now it's at the beginning again lol

[16:05:05] Bgrmystr2 it didn't even load the right video either

[16:05:07] Bgrmystr2 xD

[16:05:21] Bgrmystr2 selected sunday stream, clicked the page stream

[16:05:32] Bgrmystr2 er, loaded the page stream rather

[16:10:47] SilliconeCarbide doesnt load for me either, during certain sections in the last 30 minutes

[16:11:03] SilliconeCarbide stream which was uploaded to youtube has skips as well

[16:15:38] ThingsAreMoving rip

[16:16:15] ThingsAreMoving owell, so yesterday's lagging was probably Picarto's side

[16:19:33] Bgrmystr2 hmm, yeah it's not doing very well on my ed

[16:19:36] Bgrmystr2 end* ejkgfjhsaga

[16:19:43] Bgrmystr2 can't type for some reason

[17:01:03] SpazztasticKiwi Last month, the payment got lost in shipping but they still counted it since we technically still payed and had a record of payment

[17:01:23] SpazztasticKiwi We got a credit for the late messages, too

[17:02:03] SpazztasticKiwi But this month, it’s gone missing again and they just shut off the phones instead of giving any notifications or warnings

[17:23:02] Vatruvius :ptv-sad: Just gave UPS my my laptop to get it repaired. Now I am computerless. :ptv-whiny:

[17:26:52] ThingsAreMoving What was wrong with it?

[17:36:11] Vatruvius Broken keyboard. X, Z, and CTRL keys were unresponsive. Now I have to try to find a way to do my online homework and watch the streams without my laptop.

[18:28:33] Dadrobit Long day in class today. Was futzing around in 5.1 surround one on one with one of my professors. Felt good to hear it all come together in some proper speakers instead of headphones.

[18:29:00] Dadrobit Solid 3 hours of work done.

[18:29:17] Dadrobit Before we were kicked out of the studio :(

[18:30:31] Vatruvius Now you just got to work on 7.1 suround. :D Or is that not how sound design works?

[18:38:03] SpazztasticKiwi Phone won’t be back on until sometime tomorrow afternoon

[18:38:49] SpazztasticKiwi Till then I’m using wifi, and when I start home that’ll be gone and I’ll be offline till it’s fixed

[18:39:06] SpazztasticKiwi I’ll see y’all then

[18:40:58] Dadrobit 7.1 is a thing. Center, Center Left, Center Right, Left, Right, Back Left, Back Right, Subwoofer.

[18:42:33] Dadrobit 5

[18:42:43] Dadrobit 4.1 is the same thing, minus the direct left and right.

[18:42:49] Dadrobit 5.1*

[18:44:41] Dadrobit Cya when you're back Spazz

[18:49:07] Vatruvius I know how the 5.1 and 7.1 surround works, just not sure if that is something you have to worry about in sound design. Like, do you have to create your sounds differently if you want 5.1 or 7.1 surround?

[19:04:33] Dadrobit There's nothing that would change in the original sound capture. And working within a digital workstation, once everything has been routed properly through the I/O, it would be much the same as 5.1 as all the crossovers are done automatically at that poin

[19:04:36] Dadrobit point*

[19:05:26] Dadrobit However there may be differences in how the audio is processed after capture so that it fits more cohesively in the sonic space.

[19:06:15] Dadrobit And if I were to do this completely on an analog console, I'd be there for a day working on 5 second increments.

[19:08:14] Vatruvius So when you are processing audio in a space you need to design it with surround in mind if you want surround.

[19:08:32] Dadrobit But working in Pro Tools, it gives you visualizers that you can work with. By dragging around a "puck" in the virtual space, it routes the audio channel to emit the sound from the speakers so that it appears to be coming from that same space irl.

[19:09:15] Dadrobit Yeah, in the real world production, all of this stuff would be super planned out way before hand.

[19:09:26] Vatruvius I see, is that complicated compared to sound design without surround in mind?

[19:09:59] Dadrobit But they generally always mix the sound in stereo first as that's the overwhelming majority of what the general population has at home.

[19:10:07] Dadrobit that's what*

[19:10:34] Dadrobit nvm, had it right the first time***

[19:11:10] Dadrobit It is as complicated as you want it to be tbh.

[19:12:07] Dadrobit The tools the program used to do this make 5.1 happen are simple enough to use that you can get a general mix as easy as clicking and dragging a couple points around.

[19:12:29] Vatruvius How does surround sound design work with games like say an FPS or something? These games are in full surround sound so I assume tge sounds are tied to the objects that make that sound?

[19:12:41] Dadrobit But you can also get stupidly technical with it and spend hours at a time on tiny segments.

[19:13:25] Dadrobit That would have to be my assumption. It's all background code routing the audio to the corresponding speakers.

[19:15:05] Vatruvius It will be really interesting to see how realistic games will be graphically, sound wise, and mechsnics with all the hardwsre and software advances.

[19:15:07] Dadrobit I have only done work purely in video audio post-production. If it's not that, I can only make educated guesses.

[19:16:05] Vatruvius All the more reason why I want to get into game design. Seems like too much fun.

[19:17:08] Dadrobit High end gear is insane to experience as it is. The problem is waiting for consumer and pro-sumer gear to catch up in terms of quality so that the masses can join in.

[19:18:28] Dadrobit And hope that crap like mp3 compression and dynamic compression don't screw everything over.

[19:20:45] Vatruvius Ohh yeah, briefly covered general file compression in class awhile a ago. Now I understand why games are getting so large. As more and more storage space reaches the consumer, there is less of a reason to degrade the quaility of files.

[19:21:13] Vatruvius But also lazy AAA title developers, they do not help either.
