Tried to mimic the enemy kill sound effect with my voice with BitCrunch and reverb effects. It doesn't sound exactly what I wanted. It sounds more like a whip-crack sound effect more than anything.

Why do people give a single fuck about someone profiting off of some small audio clip that they recorded?

Huge irony ACLU supported Covid mandates ACLU never showed up at No-Mandate protests & seem to miss the fact that knowing your rights will not protect against cell phone data capture.

Today is the start of the Bilderberg 2025 meeting in Sweden. Did you hear about it from the mainstream media? Didn't think so!

Did you know that there are no emission regulations on General Aviation (i.e. private flight for your own enjoyment) ?

Excellent! Another reason to be happy about the XLibre fork.

Tech innovation can be much improved by people who are not afraid of committing "wrongthink".

@jacket @jawsh The easiest way to record audio without the microphone OR speaker is via the accelerometers and gyroscopes. Speakers can be used as a fairly high quality microphone. Accelerometers and gyroscopes are more than good enough to record speech especially when the device is on a hard surface instead of in someone's hand. There was a paper on this many years ago where the authors successfully implemented it with a 100Hz polling limit and primitive AI to decode speech.

If there is one good thing to say about these LA riots it is that unlike the "Summer of Love" from 5 years ago, we don't have a bunch of celebrities and corporations virtue signaling about the event, which makes these riots easier to ignore.

It's time for the governor and legislature of California to declare independence from the United States. He should take back the California national guard and order them to seize federal buildings. Neither Joe nor Trump should have the authority to dictate their whims to all of of the US. Independent nations are more than capable of working together to defend one another against a common enemy and in fact that was the basis of the US's founding. Insurrection was the founding of the american way.

Trying to replace the remaining copyrighted placeholder sound effects with stock ones, but I can't find any that sound right. In Zelda and Zelda-like games, enemies die with an explosion sound effect, but it's not quite and explosion. It sounds somewhat softer, but I can't find any free to use sound effect that matches that.
