  • Always proud to be here, since the momentous mod and API protest days at the orangered site, but we still have work to be done, including fostering discussion and quality fannish content beyond the bounds of the Western part of our globe.

    Oh yeah, we are indeed in a sort of calm-before-a-storm moment regarding the Internet itself, as if the proverbial storm, as Emperor pointed out, is now big tech companies and their corporate cohorts, against a cache of genuine humanity at hand.



  • Still on Touhou 8 (Imperishable Night), and then, vivid/statis, of which its latest tournament quarterfinals tiebreaker just came out and I was far no less impressed with how I managed to almost teeter on gaining any Fails on the Middle Chart, just a few Goods, due to my laptop sometimes overloading on RAM while the application’s running.

    As for the former, I’ve been taking small steps on figuring out routes for Keine’s second spell card attack on Normal Difficulty; on Easy, my new run-ender’s on Reisen’s second spell card attack, where shotgun bullets fade in and out whenever those blood red eyes periodically flash.



  • For what it essentially entails, Analog Obsession’s busterSE does quite a bangin’ job at being a analog-style stereo compressor, with the ability to tilt whatever part of the frequency spectrum you wanna have spread out, in spite of its limitations on the surface. Kicks, snares, pads, even the entire mix, you name it.

    Of second, yet equal, mention, is ChowDSP’s Chow Tape Model. which I’ve found so far to be both versatile and not that CPU-hungry. not only at those tape-esque warm flavors, but also at aiding modern, multigenre music compositions. I use them both, or either one of them, depending on the situation, and both are forever free high-quality.
