I put a wrong birth date (day and month, not year) on my ALT account. I'm glad that I was able to fix it before thie regulation was introduced.

Привет, Виталий!

The truth is, on NG, you can get unscouted by a mod when your art doesn't meet a certain quality standard. And if you draw NSFW stuff (Iike in your case), the quality criteria are way way more strict, so it's easier to lose your scout when you're a porn artist.

Jokes aside, @SourCherryJack confirmed that it's not the case anymore.

Get good?

Audio previews require login now, even if I choose the preview to be available to "Anyone", and not just "Regisered NG Users".

That's a shame. I used to use NG to share WIPs between friends but now that's another cool NG feature that died.

Bascially that. Also, in the case of some shows, like Loud House, there are specific scenes and episodes that attract adult fetishists. It's unfortunate but it should come as no surprise, and the only thing you can do is to ignore the weird part of the fandom of your favorite cartoon, or enjoy the show on your own without interacting with the fandom at all. It's an acquired skill but it's doable.

What I don't recommend doing is gatekeeping only specific "correct" parts of a fandom of a show and openly telling the degenerates to get lost.

There's also this thing called a "dynamic EQ", which functionality-wise falls right in the middle between a multiband compressor and an EQ.

The tutorial scene used to be way better when I first started. I remember the original videos by Boy in a Band for example. They were in-depth Propellerhead Reason tutorials. But then the guy started focusing more on catchy "normie" stuff, and soon, completely ditched tutorials in favor of creating short undemanding stuff that would get the views.

That's just one example but I feel like a lot of those old YouTube tutorial channels either stopped creating videos completely or reinvented themselves to be less technical and more clickbaity/algorithm-friendly.

I've already gone on and on so about Moura. But there's also Bubbles Vavoom (from Tom and Jerry Kids), who had quite a bit of incredibly in-your-face fanservice in that particular episode:

That's one way to keep both the kids and their parents engaged. :D

The "hear me out" part becomes clear when you watch the whole episode (it's called The Maltese Poodle). :v

I agree.

I think Jerusalem by Emerson Lake and Palmer is the best song on Brain Salad Surgery. I love the addition of timpani and tubular bells. The reverb-drenched "all stops out" Hammond tone (I guess Emerson was going for a pseudo-pipe organ texture) combined with Lake's multi-tracked unison vocal makes it so larger-than-life. It's glorious. There's a pomp to it but just enough restraint (by ELP standards) to tickle the prefect sweet spot for me.

Thank you. I'm checking it out right now. I love that raw and organic underprocesed late 60's production.

At this point it's clear to me that ActiveObjectX keeps recycling the same joke over and over again. But hey. If the formula works, it works. This episode is probably the most high effort one in the series, so there's that. :)

Your comparison does a HUGE disservice to baby boomers on Facebook, though. I hang out with older people all time time in prog rock circles, and they're not that ignorant. It's a toxic stereotype, I'd say, and it has a tinge of ageism.

Yeah. I took a listen and to my ear, these are pretty generic "club" kick and snare/clap samples. Vengeance Essential House vol 1-3 should get you covered.

But you know what they have in common? Generative AI is killing both, so photographers, artists, stop arguing which medium is better or more high-effort, and join forces to spread around the joy of fulfulling an artistic vision and don't let the tech bros and clankers take it away. B)

It's a bit of an apples to oranges comparison. Photographers and drawing artists, while they both create things, their areas of expertise are entirely different. Even if those might overlap.

Lesserafim actually stands for...

" Lesser as fuck, I am."

Obrigado for the in-depth answer. B)

BTW Le Sserafim can be parsed as "Les será fim", which I think stands for "Les will be the end" in Portuguese*

*based on my partial Spanish knowledge, don't quote me on that

Sign me up too. I haven't done pixel art in a while so that might be cool!

BTW are you also looking for music composers?

Yeah, brain fart on my end. xD

It's better. Great job, Brandy.

I think it's the lesser evil. It's still "in the spirit" of the uploader's intention but without the AI slop part and to be honest, it more clearly informs the watcher about the ironic nature of the short, hence the out of place 3D Knuckles in the foreground.

The previous thumbnail really looked like what you'd see the worst scum do unironically on NG, you know? I keep seeing such crap all the time. ;)

Can something be done about this misleading AI slop thumbnail?

Longer than you would estimate before you start working on it. xD

I can relate. I was born in '96. And I discovered all of my favorite prog rock albums on the internet. I had equally easy access to the virtually unknown deep cuts as well as the timeless well established classics. So that may be why the importance of the most popular ones kinda went over my head? Haha.
