The minute you challenge a Redditor worldview about anything, there comes the downvotes

In this episode, Xbox is talking about "integrating Steam" somehow, whether it's walled gardened or not, it's pretty much just a fucking PC at that point

This is where we find brainlet Redditors that would give Microsoft fat stack of cash for what they can already do on PC, on the TV, with a controller on Steam Big Picture, One Game Launcher, custom OSes made for just that, etc. because it's too hard somehow, but PC games on Xbox without using a pesky wireless mouse to access possibly and probably walled gardened?

Just say no to SaaS, or Software as a Service, a cloud-based delivery model where users access software applications through the internet, typically on a subscription basis. You think it couldn't happen to you until one day through no fault of your own your cut off as these innocent Russians (please note the distinction, Russians, ordinary people, are NOT the government, of which the later is evil everywhere, be it the Russian government or some other government like that of the United States, or your local state or city government) found out the hard way:

Maybe try Super Tux (the best game EVER!) instead:

Or Super Tux Cart instead:

But now that I think of it, it doesn't really fit as a level complete fanfare.

And here is the result, recomposed as a full orchestra. This is based off of a victory screech my siblings and I would make when we accomplished something or received something good.

But it turns out that there is a decent FOSS desktop program known as NeuralNote. It it's 100x better than those subpar web apps because it doesn't output any artifact notes.

So it looks like the plan to record a fanfare with a kazoo and convert it to midi to play with better instruments didn't work out.

Most online audio to MIDI converters suck and the ones that don't are proprietary and expensive. They add extra notes to the outputted MIDI files and no matter what instrument you use to play the file, it sounds terrible.

Not to mention that playing the kazoo is actually a skill in of itself. I thought it was the easiest instrument, but it took me a while to realize that you are actually supposed to hum into it and not blow in it.

> It is not normal to have an encrypted phone, in fact, it is a sign of organized crime.

These politicians really want me to adopt some franch culture.

So, either a system, where some kids have a bad life, or a system where all of them have a bad life....

So it looks like half of you would rather spend your entire lives as someone else's property than to spend 13 years in school.

Fedi is nothing like it was when I first signed up. I am sick of the constant dogpiling and drama. How about we ?

To say you have a claim to my property is to say you have a claim to the labor I performed to obtain it. To say you have a claim to my labor is to say that I am your slave.

A society that elevates the 'common good' above the rights of the individual makes individuals slaves to the collective.

"Whoever claims the right to redistribute the wealth produced by others is claiming the right to treat human beings as chattel." - Ayn Rand

"If you would not confront your neighbor and demand his money at the point of a gun to solve every new problem that may appear in your life, you should not allow the government to do it for you." ~ William E. Simon

“To lay with one hand the power of government on the property of the citizen, and with the other to bestow it on favored individuals .... is none the less robbery because it is .... called taxation.” - US Supreme Court in Loan Association v. Topeka (1874)

Here's a fun bug I found... Our engine likes to crash if you delete objects too quickly. NOOO idea how as the physics ticks can never exceed the game logic rate and the deletion queue is run exactly once before each tick. So few objects in the game I doubt I missed anything in the destruction that would lead to this... but here you go, somehow I managed to break it anyway :P
