Off Topic / SO APPARENTLY SUBLIME TEXT IS A WYSIWYG EDITOR
« on: January 25, 2013, 11:27:53 AM »
so in my class there's this thing called "Business Professionals of America" and they have these contests that you can enter. i entered in Fundamentals of Web Design and it was half test and half demonstration/example, where you actually have to make a website. so i did that but the instructions were badly described, so i just went for what the picture told me to go for. made it all in sublime text, entered it, and my teacher tells me the judges were so amazed they thought i cheated
SO I GOT DISQUALIFIED
one of the rules of the contest was that you can't use a wysiwyg editor, and they claimed sublime text was wysiwyg. why?
BECAUSE IT HAS loving COLORS
whoever is judging this contest should just gtfo seriously

« on: January 11, 2013, 04:48:10 PM »
Today, Stabyourself, the gods of LÖVE and creators of Not Tetris, and Mari0, have added physics to yet another arcade classic!
Ladies, gentlemen, and blockheads, I present to thee: Not Pacman.
I might rehost downloads if they're too slow; stabyourself's servers are notorious for being slow.

Off Topic / Off-Topic is really nice right now.
« on: January 09, 2013, 08:04:51 AM »
I usually only see topics complaining about how much of a dump off-topic is, what with spam threads and forum games and fads and whatnot, but I browsed through the topics and noticed how nice it was today. Even though it might just be me, I think it's nice to appreciate the times when off-topic is nice to go through.

Off Topic / The EDM Megathread v2
« on: January 01, 2013, 12:51:19 AM »The Electronic Dance Music Megathread
EDM is, in a nutshell, electronic music that was made for dancing. EDM spans across multiple different subgenres, which include, but are not limited to the following:
Electro
Usually at 120 to 130 bpm, has a strong, energetic beat, powerful chords, and in some cases, includes an arrangement of random but rhythmically arranged sounds that complement one another. A prominent effect in this genre is "sidechaining," where one instrument (usually the kick drum) gains priority in the song, and the rest of the instruments "dip down" to complement the sidechained instrument.
Knife Party - EDM Death Machine
House
This genre shares many similarities with electro, mainly the sidechain effect, BPM range, and beat style, however it shifts focus more towards the percussion than electro, and most commonly features a repeating chord progression, which is what most people associate with a house track.
Vicetone - Harmony
Dubstep
Usually at 140 BPM, and it typically has a “kick - snare - kick - snare” pattern in half-time. Dubstep is most known for heavy, heavy emphasis on a specific distorted sound that occurs during the "drop," in which this sound is modulated for a couple measures. It's also widely known for having a sort of bass "wobble." Dubstep can also have sort of a calm, slower feel, focusing on instruments at a lower frequency, the bass, and it pushes itself away from the typical harder noises of mainstream dubstep. The "calmer" kind of dubstep is usually referred to as "liquid dubstep."
Fuzion - Midnight Ride ft. Sunn (Ramses B. Remix)
Drum and Bass / Drumstep
DnB is one of the more faster-paced genres, ranging from around 160 to 200 BPM. It focuses more on the percussion in most cases, and it occasionally borrows elements from other EDM genres. Drumstep is a variation of Dubstep, sort of a mix between the two. It's at the BPM of DnB, but half-time, and shares many common elements found in dubstep. Like dubstep, DnB also has a "liquid" form, where it's much calmer, and no single instrument gains priority. The song becomes an arrangement of what most would describe as soft, peaceful sounds.
I Am Orange - Crow Machine
Trance
Trance ranges from 120 to 140 BPM, and is usually a little faster paced than Electro, and is progressive/repeating like house. The snares in trance are more "airy" than in other genres, and the bassline is deep, dark, and plucky. Trance can also have a very unique, strange, ambient soundscape that accompanies the song.
Nhato - Hello World
Moombahton / Moombahcore
Ranging from 100 to 110 BPM, moombahton is at a lower tempo than house-based genres, but still manages to maintain every bit of energy. It's mostly known for the delayed snare in the kick - snare - kick - snare beat, and borrowing elements from dubstep. The difference between moombahton and moombahcore is that the latter is just slower-paced dubstep.
Invader! - Moomvader (Get Loose)
Glitch Hop
Very similar to moombahton; sometimes the difference is indistinguishable. Regardless, glitch hop clocks at 100 to 110 BPM, and it has sort of a "swingy" feel, while usually featuring a variety of different growls and "whomps." It's funny describing it, and an example would help you understand more.
Pegboard Nerds - Fire in the Hole
Hardstyle / Hardcore
DAWM DAWM DAWM DAWM DAWM DA-in other words, hardstyle is usually found at around 150 BPM, has a distinct "hard" kick that gives it its name, and an arrangement of different "acid-y" sounds that make up the genre. Hardstyle also has a nice little clap thrown in some places, can be a little glitchy, and typically has very nice melodies.
Neilio - Obsession
Nu Disco
Nu Disco is essentially a reinvented form of disco. It fuses characteristics of the disco we all know and love with modern electronic elements to create a really nice funkayy sound. Only a little slower paced than house-based genres, but still shares many similarities.
Madeon - Shuriken
Electroswing
Like nu disco, electroswing goes further back in the past and incorporates elements of 30s swing in a nice electronic fashion. Electroswing is like a faster paced glitch hop.
Caravan Palace - Clash

Off Topic / Can't find a good way to "dock" my shortcuts.
« on: December 01, 2012, 02:26:37 PM »
My problem basically is that I can't find a good way to have a bunch of nice easy-to-access shortcuts to my favorite programs, and everything I've tried always has some major problem that prevents me from using it without getting major anxiety.
What I've tried and aren't options:
For some reason I feel as though I won't get a response because of how incredibly stingy I'm being, but I figured I'd ask you guys anyway, since you seem to know about what's "new", "hip", and different.
What I've tried and aren't options:
- Pinning items to taskbar - unorganized, ugly, limited space
- Pinning items to start menu - same as above
- Using the start menu - too many clicks (start menu > back button > navigate to application folder > click icon)
- Desktop icons - i prefer a clean desktop, except for maybe 1 or 2 icons.
- A 3rd party dock application - either goes too slow, is incredibly intrusive, incredibly buggy, and I don't like auto-hiding them either, because I basically use every side of my screen and the dock will get in the way when I try to do something.
- The Windows 8 Start Screen - this seems to be the best solution, attractive interface, infinite scrolling. ...minus the fact that I'm without windows 8 at the moment
- Anything involving SharpEnviro - sharpenviro is a massive buggy piece of stuff i don't feel like dealing with
- Anything involving LiteStep - i just couldn't deal with this at all, everything was too tiny and i didn't feel like installing new skins either. there were some errors with it too.
- Rainmeter Shortcuts - it was too much effort to add a new shortcut, i'd like to be able to just drag and drop without having to make a new entry in an ini and make sure the shortcut is perfectly positioned. Exception: I am currently in need of a new attractive minimal rainmeter skin, and if you can find one that makes shortcut adding easy, I'm open to that.
- Anything involving Linux - i just can't get used to it. plus, program incompatibilities.
- Anything involving Macs - i'd like to keep my money, thanks.

Creativity / website mockup thing
« on: November 20, 2012, 08:32:54 AM »
so in my information technology class, we had to make these website mockup things in adobe fireworks
it was for this made-up company called "ulysses motorized unicycles", and we had to promote this deal that they were doing blindfolded test runs
ridiculous amounts of cheesiness aside, what do you think?

Off Topic / periods make a sentence more serious
« on: November 07, 2012, 05:14:33 PM »
i made a post on tumblr about this a while ago, but i just now noticed how evident this is.
not sure if it's just me, but when I read sentences, i'm more likely to take them seriously if they have a period at the end.
like, this sentence:
i hate your face, forget you
i hate your face, forget you.
does the second example seem more "serious" to anyone?
