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!

[00:51:53]
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

[00:52:31]
Vatruvius

[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]

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:

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

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

[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]

nvm, had it right the first time***

It is as complicated as you want it to be tbh.

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.

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?

But you can also get stupidly technical with it and spend hours at a time on tiny segments.
[19:13:25]

That would have to be my assumption. It's all background code routing the audio to the corresponding speakers.

It will be really interesting to see how realistic games will be graphically, sound wise, and mechsnics with all the hardwsre and software advances.

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]

All the more reason why I want to get into game design. Seems like too much fun.

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.

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.

But also lazy AAA title developers, they do not help either.
