It’s fast, with the laser, the bullet is always going exactly where i want/aim there is no RNG or waiting after the aim reticle to become precise

Started a new game and the imprecision of the handguns that have no laser sight, no matter how powerful they are, are super sloggish and unsatisfying to use, and if i understand correctly, that part of the shooting was heavily criticize

And the perks of the punisher in situations that have shields or a bunch of ennemies lined up is truly life changing, you just blasting that shit everywhere and no one gets out alive

No it’s not powerful but i have my other guns for damage, and the handgun is more for stunning for me to use melee and knife

But i never hear anyone giving love to the punisher! And i still hear complains about the shooting but i never see punisher or laser when people address the complain

Am i missing something or what?, this make the game so much more snappy and i don’t see how i could play in any other way

It’s not that i find it’s a bad idea, i understand where he come from, it’s that i feel there is no creative process, he just made some shitty AI concept, it’s not really well tought out, and his objectives is that we absolutely need that for out next show in 3 weeks

Our last 2 jams has been only focus on that, he already bring tailors and people to choose colors and stuff, and i just don’t want to and i’m not down to invest a single dollars on that

I said what i was thinking about it and they are insisting on it, they say we absolutely need visuals to increase engagement and shit, BUT we are working on new songs ‘i mostly wrote’, we have to play one at the next show, and their parts are NOT READY, there is so much to do, so much to figure out, so much to practice, and we spent the last jams fucken around with colors and figuring out measures and bullshit

There is no good or bad, i understand where he come from, but prioritising this over the music really bothers me on a different level

What would you do?

Edit: i have to add, we are a metal band, we had a kind of codes all black with no famous band shirt, and now he want to go full on fantasy ancient warrior occultism with a kind of dressing gown

I’m a guitarist that loves watching drumming videos, i know it’s not ‘simple’ but it kinda sounds catchy enough with a groove that i can kinda grasp, i know nothing about drumming and want to have drummer perception

I want to show that to a funk - jazz fusion drummer and i wonder if it’s going to be basic for him

My Girlfriend (F29) and i (M31) have been in a relationship for about 4 years, it unfortunately became toxic

She have OCD and she tends to spiral with things that upset her

I have plenty of wrongs, she have good reason to be upset at times, the thing that makes it nasty is when she is really upset, she can spiral HARD making it impossible to have a discussion and figure things out

So when things go out of hand and when it’s going nowhere, i just try to take my distance, having some time pass just for us to take a step back and returning to the issue with a clear head

But she is not able to take it when i ask her to stop and to let me be, she can spiral so hard she can just repeat the same thing for hours no matter of what i say, she does’nt acknowledge me, she does’nt listen to me, i always have to explain the same thing for hours, it’s not that she’s not agreeing with what i say, she just don’t listen to me, she is not argumenting or counter argumenting, she is just spiralling with one thing in mind and nothing else is even existing

And she does’nt care if i need to sleep or need a break, if she is spiralling at 3 AM, even if i work at 8 in the morning, well she will harass me relentlessly no matter what

It’s been recurrent for like 2 years now and i really wanted to end things a year ago because i was just stuck on infinite loopholes all the time and they were nothing i could do or say to change things, she began searching some help for her OCD and i had hopes for things to change

But yesterday, she went on another spiral in the night, like i said, i have wrongs, and it’s her right to be upset

I was sayin i’m sorry, tried to explain myself, but they was nothing to figure out, she was spiraling and sayin the same thing for hours

She was at her appartment and me in mine, i said to stop multiple time for the night, that we would talk about it tomorrow and that right now it’s useless, i needed to sleep, i was exhausted and stressed so i tried to sleep

One hour later in my sleep my phone rang and she was spamming me over and over at like 3 AM, i became extremely stressed, i was’nt answering, just watching my phone on mute, and she called me 89 times in an hour, with texts of her spiralling more and more

I did’nt want to answer i was feeling very stuck

Trying to sleep, telling myself we would talk tomorrow, she just arrived in my home, my safespace, at 4 am, aggressively waking me up and going on with her spirale

I told her multiple time that i did’nt wanted to talk that night, i told her multiple time to stop

I felt attacked, violently woke up, my boundaries not respected and denied, after years of this sort of incident

I went absolutely mad, i got up my bed beginning screaming like a primate, i took her by her clothes to push her outside my appartment, she fell, tried to dragged her outside of my door, i was screaming to her to let me alone, like it was a matter of life or death, spitting, crying, in distress

she then was really scared and left by herself

After that i was confused, sad, feeling guilty, i did’nt understand what just happened, i lost control completely, scared of myself, today i fell like i’m going to have a panic attack

Idk if we can learn anything from that, idk if i’m in the wrong, or my body just went into a flight or fight mode, idk how to deal with any of that and i need help, i’m alone in that because she does’nt listen to me, to my emotions, and she will 100% come back saying it’s all my fault and that i did that because inhave a violence problem

Do i have a violence problem? I did’nt hit, i don’t want to express a form of power to control her, i just wanted her to leave me alone

I absolutely needs outside opinions, i don’t want to justify my reaction, i want to understand it and act, for me to never becomes like that again, i never want to lose control like that again, i feel so bad, i don’t want that, i did’nt provoked it, i don’t know what to do

So i’m a SoundEngineer for living, i mix live bands and work at a radio station, so i have basic skillz and i’m not trying to learn everything from scratch,

I’m also in a band and we just got ourselves a Berhinger Xair-18, really a fun little toy

So of course when you’re in a local band money is always a problem, realising all the new possibilities that the Xair give us, would it be possible to record with it and get a quality product? It would’nt be the best preamps, converter, we have some decent mic but nothing fancy, would’nt be the best room but we already have roxul panels and can try to get it better

But i have Pro tools, i try to get better at mixing as a living, i have access to some waves, Universal audio, fabfilters plugins, and it would be basically a stimulating challenge for me

But We don’t want a garage sound either , what do you think? Can i work with mid gear and get good results if i put the time and rely on skills/ developping them ? Or the mid gear can really put me against a wall?

Always ear that gear does’nt really matters, does it?

I always use the values that are avaible in the classics compressors anyway, like a 1176, the transient settings have only 7-8 fixed positions ( something like that i don’t remember ) and if i understand correctly it’s enough to do most things

I know that with digital it’s just that everything is possible and you don’t need any fixed position anymore, but damn too much possibilities can get really confusing

Do you use ‘infinite’ values at your advantage or you also prefer fixed positions?

Randomly saw the first episode of warped roadies, when they said they were travelling with all their gears and crew, and that the set up, wrap up, and shows were all happening in one day, i could’nt believe it, my brain can’t even imagine all the people and planification required for that, and for 2 months straight, is this even safe? Working at that speed seems super dangerous, but i know nothing about big festival setup like that.

Personnally, i would never work on that kind of gig, maybe if i follow a band at the sounddesk but damn respect for all the roadies and rest of the crew that is some hard ass labour work

Unfortunately warped roadies focus more on its character and the drama between them and less on all the technical side of things, so i wanted to ask here, have you ever worked at warped tour? How was it? And does big festival setups are always super quick like that??

Idk i see so much people saying it destroyed their lives , it did’nt for me, sucessful career, relationship, passion and hobbies, and i’m always motivated, makes me wonder if that means i could have an even higher potential under my daily/chronic use

I don’t have any trauma and i don’t use it for physical/health reasons, it’s purely recreative for me

I take TH break sometimes and its allright, i don’t absolutely need it to sleep or to eat either, but it’s still kind of an addiction, wonder if i should ignore this because it does’nt destroy my life

I’m asking in this sub because i want answers from people that does’nt consider weed absolutely toxic for them
