Off Topic / How to change the gain of all tracks in audacity?

« on: March 24, 2019, 12:57:20 PM »

So I work in audacity from time to time and I'm wondering how I can change the gain of all tracks that I have imported here, rather than doing them individually:

Off Topic / Do not vote labour, Corbyn will ruin this country

« on: December 12, 2018, 08:18:23 AM »

The vote for no confidence in parliament is today, we already know how this is going to end because Theresa May is a loving useless prime minister who has done nothing to change the UK or enable any good policies for the country overall. As a home secretary, prior to becoming prime minister, she made really stupid decisions for the UK including cutting back funding on the police force. It is pretty obvious that because of her dumb moves, the vote will turn out to be no confidence.

However a bigger problem arises at the moment, the growth of left winged politics onto the people and the current idolization of how great our new prime minister will be. Corbyn will try to turn this country into a socialist one and we know how that's working for Venezuela. Corbyn will destroy this country's economy and will make even worse decisions than the previous conservative party.

If there is no confidence, do not vote for Corbyn and his labour party

Off Topic / Sourcefilmmaker won't uninstall on my computer

« on: October 02, 2018, 08:34:23 AM »

I'm in need of assistance for the 3035th time, so I just executed order 66 on my computer and deleted a load of files that were using up memory. I freed loads of memory after doing so, I tried uninstalling sourcefilmmaker and it just gets stuck on an "uninstalling..." box. Whenever I start steam I've also noticed sourcefilmmaker is trying to update and it's a file that is 23.6 GB in size. Because it refused to uninstall, I deleted it's files manually from /common

Every time I start up steam now it tries to update to download a 23.6 gb file in size and sourcefilmmaker gets stuck on a never-ending "uninstalling..." box whenever I try to delete it's local files. How do I stop this and get rid of it once and for all?

Off Topic / [in need of assistance] Computer USB ports and inputs messing up

« on: September 25, 2018, 12:56:21 PM »

I have had my gaming pc now for 2 years, it is a prebuilt system and has never let me down once. Recently I have been experiencing issues regarding the Keyboard and headphone jacks, for some reason, they keep disconnecting and reconnecting. For example, I have an led light keyboard and when the lights are on it means the keyboard is working fine. When the lights are off it means the keyboard is not plugged in. I went to the back of the computer to investigate whether the usb port for the keyboard was loose and it was not, it was plugged in properly. Very strange. Recently my headphones have been disconnecting and reconnecting as well and this makes no sense either, the headphone jack for the microphone and headphones themselves are plugged in perfectly. It continuously kept disconnecting and reconnecting the headphones until I took the jacks out and re plugged them in.


I have no idea what is causing this problem and strangely, the mouse has not been experiencing any problems. Do my drives need to be updated or some stuff? this is driving me crazy since I need to revise sometimes and I need to move my keyboard on my desk which just causes it to disconnect. Also my keyboard was bought this year and has no problems except from this

Off Topic / [SPORTS] Floyd Mayweather vs Manny Pacquiao 2 is "happening"

« on: September 15, 2018, 11:44:21 AM »

https://news.sky.com/story/floyd-mayweather-announces-rematch-with-manny-pacquiao-in-nine-figure-payday-11498519

If you google Floyd Mayweather right now you'll see it all over the news, on Floyd's instagram he said that a rematch will be happening soon (Rumors speculate December 9th). I think this might be likely since I remember months ago there were videos of Floyd training and even getting into an octagon so it might be possible that a rematch is inbound, if so I can't wait but Anthony Joshua vs Wladimir Klitschko is still the best fight I've ever seen in my time

Off Topic / What's the worst Fanbase/fandom/group/endorsments v782

« on: September 05, 2018, 10:11:58 AM »

This includes some political groups, sports groups and fandoms overall. Tried to put as many as I could. In my opinion I'd say the splatoon community is a bit out of hand, Lil Peep's posthumous cult following, UK Labour party supporters are a bit too toxic and the smash bros community can be really ungrateful (even if "everyone is here!" people still don't see Sakurai's hard work in the upcoming game). If you're living in London then Drill fans are so toxic and immature as well, I'd say they are one of the most toxic

Off Topic / Why are old PC games limited to run on 2 GB of ram

« on: August 29, 2018, 07:13:20 AM »

After fixing 2 games that were forced to run on only 2gb ram (when I have 8 on my computer) it makes me question why these games run on 2 GB of ram and why they were never patched later on to support the usage of more than 2 GB of ram. Is there any explanation?

Off Topic / Can someone scientifically explain something to me

« on: August 26, 2018, 05:51:38 PM »

I was browsing instagram and saw a video of some unlucky fellow (RIP) fall into an escalator, the mechanism underneath the steps. But what I am failing to understand here, is what actually happens when you fall into this metal mechanism, how does it crush your bones and if you ever find yourself in this situation, what can you do to survive? Final destination unrealistically had one of these incidents as one of it's many deaths, but I am failing to understand here what is exactly happening. Someone explain please, for the sake of science

Off Topic / Need help with my PC

« on: August 24, 2018, 07:30:41 AM »

So recently my Hard disk has begun running very short on space and this is because of steam, a forgetton of media projects (including a huge directory of sound effects), other games and backups. I want to move all of that (including my whole steam directory) to another hard drive to free up space on my primary hard drive where the system and everything is stored. I need help on deciding which of these I should get:

• A portable external hard drive
• A completely fresh internal hard drive

Now, for the internal hard drive I don't exactly know if I can fit another one in my computer since it is a pre-built gaming pc. So I need to open it and check whether that is possible but I think I remember (not sure) the pc's details saying that that there is space for a second hard drive. I would prefer an internal hard drive so everything is stored on my computer and everything is more manageable

The other option is to get a portable external hard drive (a western digital one) but I was wondering whether you can move all of steam to that drive despite it being a portable one. The internal drive is £10 cheaper than the external hard drive by the way.

So what's better? getting an external one or an internal one? and can I move a whole steam directory to the external one?

Off Topic / Tumblr is glorifying mental illness - The rant part III

« on: August 16, 2018, 07:16:05 PM »

My first two rants:

"DLC is getting ridiculous - the rant"
"Youtube drama is getting ridiculous - the rant part II

Tumblr is glorifying mental illness

This has to be stopped

Two of my previous rants are more related to things that I am interested in, video games and YouTube. This rant however is based on something more serious and something that I have no means of getting interested in.
The issue with tumblr
I have recently been absolutely flabbergasted from the absolute bullstuff I have been seeing on my Instagram as well as social media as a whole. I have come to the point were it is so shocking it leaves me so confused like working out a geometry question in mathematics, you know those atrocious questions that tell you to find x on some weird angle shape. This is basically how I feel right now. I am coming across many gifs and pictures, from mainly girls, spreading their mental illness like its good and its fine because you know people love taking in another person’s misery, right? Well loving no, tumblr (and Instagram sometimes) is absolutely glorifying mental illness like its something you should be proud of and it’s starting to get out of loving hand.

I just don’t understand why people waste their time online and act as edgy as they possibly can saying “My heart is already broken and no one else can break it” or other stuff like “Nothing can hurt me anymore” or “my emotions have gotten to me and I don’t care about life” I am absolutely sick of the people around me just looking at this stuff and crying about it. I know a girl that recently went through a break up and I know it’s awful cuz I’ve experienced a break up but she went on social media and liked stupid pictures like these:

She got so out of control, she sent me snaps of her knuckles in blood because she punched walls. I just don’t get this stuff, why do people (mainly girls) love to just spread this misery and act like it’s going to help? It just loving doesn’t help at all I mean why can’t they listen to a song that tells them to get better, you know like Tupac’s “keep ya head up” and have hope because that’s what I did when I was at my lowest points in life and it really helped a lot.


I never went around liking 10 pictures that display a message of self-loathing and making myself feel even more stuff. I just don’t get it, there are some people that are going to criticize what I say that we don’t know what some people are going through and I can only get that if the person that is depressed has had an awful upbringing, such as if they have problems at home with their family. But if you have a family that works their loving ass off and supports you to go to school and you have no issues at school, I have to say I really don’t understand what you’re doing.


There are so many people out there that don’t even want to talk to their friends or family about the matter and instead they go onto tumblr posting pictures of their self-harmed body and their black and white pictures of quotes saying “I’m fine” or stupid stuff, and I have seen this, “I’m happy 2 be sad”. They don’t want to talk to Self Delete prevention lines about this stuff and it just confuses me. I just want to know:

• Why are they so depressed to this extent?
• Why do they think spreading their misery will help them get through their troubles?
• Why can’t they open up to their family about the issue?

I know a person who lost his father in 9/11, he has been depressed, and god bless this guy, but he has gotten through his depression, he never spread his depression to anyone in fact he would always try his best to be happy about life. He always wanted to play xbox 360 with me and my friends and he was always studying in school, studying his hardest. He is the example of a person that is blessed, he doesn’t spread his misery and he cares about the people around him.


Why can’t these people on tumblr get through this stuff? It’s loving sickening that this stuff they post influences younger people, and again mainly girls, to think like this. It just corrupts them as a whole and makes them even more insecure
Modern age aesthetics culture is forgeted up beyond belief

This part is tied into Tumblr’s glorifying of mental illness as it also plays a part of exploring a person’s thoughts. Now I don’t know about this culture all too much other than it being some sort of art form, but I have seen people go on about this culture to spread their negativity as a result. The picture above being a sort of example, you see these stupid people posting on Instagram their tight jeans and ass being flashed off in a mirror and sometimes they’ll talk about being “lonely” or the drugs they take. It is also worthy to note that these sort of people also appear to be obsessed with smoking cigarettes and cannabis

If you’re living in London like me, you’ll see these sorts of people in places like Shoreditch and other areas which are all urbanized. But then again these people also love sharing their loneliness and depression and I just don’t understand why they want to spread this misery.

If anyone reading this actually suffers from depression please do not go onto tumblr or any of these stupid loving sites and seek help immediately. Please, because otherwise you’re going to be stuck in these places just feeling even worse. I just don’t get this culture at all and it’s become so popular, it just has to be stopped. There is nothing good about it and I'm seeing friends around me just becoming worse and worse the more they view this stuff. It is not healthy, it is not something to be proud of, it is misery and negativity that should not be spread.

Off Topic / Does anyone here know how to edit code in .exe files?

« on: July 22, 2018, 08:19:44 AM »

I am in need of assistance at the moment. I have a mod for the game Unreal tournament 2004 and it refuses to open because it is searching for registry entries for it, I have the steam version of the game so this mod is searching for registry entries for the non steam version. Is there anyway to break into the .exe and delete the lines of code which search for the registry entry or is this not possible at all?

Off Topic / Need help identifying sound effects

« on: July 16, 2018, 08:50:05 AM »

I need help identifying some sound effects because I can't find them anywhere. In games like pokemon and earthbound whenever a text box appears and letters start scrolling there's always that little cool sound that follows with it. I have been trying to find the sound effect for this everywhere but I can't find it at all, can someone help?

Donald Annoying Orange has recently invented a new word, covfefe. When Annoying Orange was asked about the Yanny or Laurel bs he simply responded with "I hear covfefe". What does this mean? what does it signify? what does it tell us about the future of human species???

Games / EA is making the sims worse

« on: May 03, 2018, 12:45:04 PM »

https://kotaku.com/sims-developer-responds-to-general-unrest-among-series-1825726863

I think everyone knows this already that the sims 4 was a complete let down that stripped features from the sims 3 but it's just getting worse and worse, with each year a new expansion is released and it's content that should be in the base game in the first place. I really enjoy the games since they were my childhood and EA released the sims 2 ultimate collection for free (which is a game I love) but to see it just declining like this is shocking. I think EA should sell the IP once their done hitting the dead horse. If anyone should make the next game in the series then give it to Rockstar games, they'd make a really good one if the IP is sold
