@alyx @matrix for just straight music rips people upload, I can see it either being FLAC or 320kbps mp3. If they encode the video correctly, at least. They could toss a FLAC in a video and then only render out 128kbps. I've accidentally not rendered videos at 60fps before lol so that can always happen too. That's what I suspect most source files would be though, whether they are ripping from a CD or downloading from something like Amazon music.

@LukeAlmighty I also don't drink a lot and never drank until I turned 21, so it's not tolerance I've gained over time or anything, I've just always been like this.

@LukeAlmighty nope xD I got a lot of Scandinavian in me so, Viking blood i guess xD

@alyx @matrix well this is from 2020. Looks like you can use this ytdl command to see it for any given video. The highest audio quality for this 1080p video is 160kbps and you can see here the highest it actually gets is 145kbps.

Opus is still good and YouTube's compression is still pretty good, but there isn't a way you would ever be able to tell what the original audio was like without asking the uploaded because it's already been compressed, the original audio doesn't exist on YouTube's end.

But that's what I was saying, if it still sounds good then it shouldn't matter too much what the original source was, you know?

YouTube has recommendations for audio bitrates too. It definitely helps to upload with a higher bitrate on your video and audio so the compression has more info to work with. It'll always end up as a sub-160 opus though at best. So if the audio quality REALLY matters, downloading off YouTube isn't the best idea, it's better to torrent FLACs or something. But if it doesn't matter as much, or you can't hear a difference, I'm just wondering why you want to know the original quality of the audio in the first place.

Which way?

@LukeAlmighty I have friends that get drunk or can't drive after one shot but I feel practically nothing if I take several gulps of whiskey lol. Just kind of funny.

I'm not even done with God's Disdain and I already have the entire story and map/puzzle drafts done for my next game (horror), and I catch myself thinking about ideas for the game after that (space opera). Shit like this is why I was never able to finish a game in the past, and why I'll probably never move away from RPG Maker as a developer, I have too many ideas and too little time. I'll be lucky if I finish all of them by the time I'm 45.

@LukeAlmighty I've never been drunk, even after 3 shots of vodka the most I've felt is just a little bit floaty. The most I ever felt was drinking glögg for Christmas a couple years ago, lot of alcohol mixed together. I just felt really light. But my perception or thought processes don't change or anything. Kinda weird.

@alyx @matrix YouTube's audio after it gets compressed down is relatively low quality ("good enough"), so any way you try to pull for it won't be HQ. YouTube targets 160kbps vbr. If that's good enough for you then cool though :) there are a lot of unreleased/lost tracks I can only find on YouTube, so unfortunately that has to be the case sometimes.

@PinochetsCommieCopter children should be able to have sex with their peers without getting in legal trouble, that kind of shit is absurd. ANYONE though? Yeah, there's a certain line that needs to be drawn...

@PinochetsCommieCopter "that's just part of living in a big city bro" - some weed fag

I'm not racist but same-sex marriage should be between a man and a woman
There was a time on the internet where anything legal could and would be posted. It was a time before Facebook, back when Myspace was barely a thought. I suspect it was before you were born, but it certainly was before you had learned how to type. In these ages, everything short of IRL CSAM material would be thrust in everyone's faces. Gore, loli, you name it. There's a reason the goatse meme is a meme - you could just end up looking at a picture of a man's distended anus, for seemingly no reason.

People who grew up in this period got used to it.

You're in a spot where that's the internet you're looking at. You can either enjoy the richness of the internet as it was before you touched a computer, or you can fuck back off to Twitter and Facebook.
