Hi,
I kind of remember that the Souls games were discounted and even bundled together in a very affordable package for PS5, but now when I checked, they all seem to be full price and I can find no bundles.

Was this bundle a thing or am I imagining things? I would love to play the games once more, but I'm not really ready to pay full price for games that I've already paid for.

If I'm actually remembering correctly, I'll wait until the bundle returns to play all games once more

Hi,
I'm starting a new faith-based playthrough, and these two are probably my favorite faith-fashion, so I'd love it if someone could help me get them this early on :)

Hi,
This feels like a very vague question and it's probably the basics of designing in general, but I still want some input.

I love design, but I have no formal training and I don't even do it often. When I was a kid, I always designed things, mainly by drawing imaginary cars, or building them in Lego.

With age, my interest in design went from cars towards graphic design, but it feels like all my sporadic work becomes more and more derivative of other work I see. I can find someones design or style, and absolutely love it, but I struggle at taking the parts that I like, and combining them with other things.

Right now, I'm in the process of designing the front panels for a couple of synthesizer modules I'm working on, and I have about 4 to 5 main inspirations, but I don't really know how to combine them or do something original? Would love any insights, tips or other ideas connected to this.

Hi,
I just finished a course at my uni where I learnt the basics of C and RISC-V Assembly, and now I want to branch out and try to put it to use.

My main interest and reason for learning programming, is to be able to make synthesizers, and maybe some guitar pedals, so naturally I need to learn some DSP.

Are there any good ways to start learning mainly synthesis with C, like how to program oscillators, filters etc. I wouldn't mind a very theory heavy book or something, I really want to learn this stuff.

ETA: I'm mainly interested in hardware, so Eurorack, embedded stuff etc. but VSTs are of course interesting as well!

Hi,
I'm laying out a PCB of the Buchla 258, and I would like to implement the waveform switch which requires a 3PDT. However, I can not find a sub mini 3PDT which is basically a requirement in my case, so I need to get creative.

I've read about these analog switch ICs, but it seems like they are limited when it comes to accepted voltages, and I'm not sure what voltages are around the resistors that are switched. One other solution I've found is a much more expensive switch IC called DG333, which can handle a lot more voltage.

Are there any good alternatives or substitutes to a 3PDT?

Hi,
I know that spring reverb tanks have a lot of specifications when it comes to input and output impedance, orientation etc. but something I've been wondering is if let's say I have a tank which has, let's say 100 ohms of input impedance, but the circuit I'm looking for uses a 1kohm impedance tank. Can I not just place a resistor in series to achieve 1kohm? The same question goes for the output impedance.

Hi,
I absolutely love pasta, it has always been my favorite food and I eat it about 5 times a week. I usually make different dishes where I almost always use either heavy cream, "regular" hard cheese, lots of oil (i.e. Aglio e olio) or parmesan to make creamy and rich sauces.

However, it pains me to admit but I've been becoming a bit too heavy for my own good, and I need to start cutting down on some of the more unhealthy things I eat, so I've been looking at these things and trying to find substitutes.

As an example, right now I'd like to cook my version of a pesto pasta, where I usually use heavy cream, hard cheese in the sauce and mozzarella and parmesan as toppings. I also use some of the oil in the pesto and in the sundried tomatoes. This is absolutely delicious but it's unhealthy. Are there any ways for me to make this, and similar dishes, at least somewhat creamy without adding all of these ingredients?

Hi,
I've been enjoying buying cars and trying to tune them up for things like the Power Pack, and also for the campaign. However, all my tunes end up severely understeering or twitchy, even if I try to tweak downforce etc.

On the other hand, when I try one of the stock Gr3 cars, or the suggested cars for the Power Pack, they all handle so much smoother. I understand that they are "professionally" tuned by the devs, but how can I make my own tunes more like those?

This might be an extremely beginner question, but I've been looking at different ways of making "delays" in VCV Rack, using trigger delays and sample and holds etc., and one of the more interesting solutions was to basically patch a trigger delay into an infinite feedback loop where the first delay triggers the second, and the second triggers the first and so on. These are then controlled with an overarching amplitude envelope, lowering the volume as time goes on.

However, I need to be able to initiate this infinite feedback loop by adding a separate trigger to the first trigger delay, and I'm not sure how I would do that? In VCV it's basically a passive mult, would this work, or would I need something more sophisticated like a CV mixer or something?

Hi,
I bought GT7 relatively recently and I absolutely love it, especially the Sports mode, even though I'm nowhere near as fast as some people. I try to race fair, and have gotten a pole and a singular win which felt awesome.

However, when I don't want to try hard as much, I've been playing the Singleplayer, and so far, it's been kind of, I don't know, like dead? I dislike the fact that I have to start at the back all the time, which basically makes the game a balance of either choosing a quick enough car to be able to catch up with the leader in time, or reducing the difficulty to do the same. There is no "real racing", I'm not getting overtaken by others, I just play catch up for the entirety of the race. I'd like it much more if I was placed in the middle of the pack, or could qualify against difficult AIs, and then race them instead of doing this.

Has anyone found a fix, setting or something to improve this, and am I alone in feeling like this?

ETA: I also love the tire wear, fuel and penalties in Sport, I feel like Singleplayer is way too lenient on this.

Hi,
I'd like to incorporate some breakbeats and jungle samples into my rack, and the main thing I've found is the Ectocore, which absolutely looks nice, but from the videos, it seems a bit confusing or complicated, and I also feel kind of weird with marketing relying on scarcity, so I'm trying to find other alternatives. Do you have any suggestions or is the Ectocore the best for the job?
