That’s just what the little cunt looks like every time he sleeps.
Which is pretty much constantly.
Lazy little bastard.

You need that tattooed on you.
I’ve already funded some stupid shit on here like that digitakt skin,
I’d gladly help fund anyone getting a fin25 avatar tattooed on themselves.

I can’t say I haven’t not been doing it legally and if I’ve been talking to LD’s or anyone else’s mushroom cat, I would’ve had to sign an NDA, not that I have been…

Thinking about my (fairly mild) disappointment with this forum recently, and it could be that we are all just really grumpy and/or eager for something we can obsess about to take our minds off everything else. It is a really difficult time to try to engage with the world in general. I have the privilege of a very comfortable day-to-day life (and more gear than I know what to do with) but it is still hard (because the same ominous rumblings affecting everyone might affect us, though only with a mild push, and we can retreat to a comparable comfort on home turf, where we cannot be forced out).
German art in the late '20’s and early '30’s is astonishing. That they could produce so much, under such conditions, with such impact… it cannot be about hope alone (though some of them must have had some). It has to also be about standing tall, even if one is about to be struck down.

I’m getting absolutely murdered with life again. Everything I know is changing to a complete unknown. It’s all shit! Walking away!
This forum is the last thing I’m complaining about!

To be honest, that’s how I’m feeling, mainly because of IRL stuff. I’m glad that music tech’s captured my interest with fewer strings attached than games and cars have done for me as of late.
Yeah, my relationship with my parents, whom I still live with, is quite tenuous over very different values. As someone who sees the same people at work on a weekly basis, it’s in a way kinda stressful because they get comfy with you, and they may expect more and more from you in certain cases. May just as well be a barista at some point if it really hit the fan, I’d much rather talk to different people perhaps. I don’t know. Maybe I might not prefer it.
Stop being a puss. Renew your tetanus shot at the same time.

That was stupid of me, I can’t believe I didn’t think of that!
Came here to say the same thing.
I immigrated to ELEK from GS, which I’d quit after many years because the place could become very mean and trollish at a moment’s notice, and that never seemed to change or be moderated there.
Lately this forum feels very similar. I see a lot of intense opinions-stated-as-facts and putting people down, usually around discussions of gear rather than musicmaking. A lot of the tension comes from new people, but sometimes the regulars get edgy too, which feels especially weird to me—like being a kid, watching your parents have some intense argument.
I’ve certainly had to make apologies and delete posts myself, so I don’t feel self-righteous about any of this. But it’s a drag to be around the anger and I hope it isn’t catching on here, like a new fashion trend. That would be so not what I thought this place was about: some social hanging, a lot of Elektron talk, with a vague intention to record (and even post!) electronic music, if only for one’s own satisfaction.
I hope the wind changes, once the big product launches die down.
Been admiring those too, maybe even back to the ‘teens. I would post paintings, but that’s too much beauty for a whingeing thread … even considering how dark some of those paintings were.

This fucking amazon truck just rolled up bumping mariachi music super hard, like waay too loud for a normal car but it’s an amazon delivery truck, and since the amazon truck is not equipped to handle playing loud music it’s just that sound of door speakers which don’t want to be played loudly vibrating and the worst most festive mariachi music you’ve ever heard.
Driver gets out to deliver the package and leaves the music bumping at full blast, might have even turned it up, with the truck parked with 2 wheels rolled way too far up onto the sidewalk for what felt like an eternity while they went to a couple of houses to deliver packages. Back and forth to the delivery van at least twice.
Definitely something to behold but I’m not sure that person is going to last as a delivery driver.

I assume your in America ?
It sounds like he’ll draw the attention of Ice , many deliveries will be delayed one day .
Or end up on eBay if the van is left on its own .
Amazon van driving is the same in uk though the music is different .
