@sun protip for the next time you want to play the gong: they're meant to be prepped by hitting them really softly with the mallet and then hard a second time. the sound ends up being a lot louder, percussive, and on-beat that way. -

i hate the term "normies" and i have done everything possible to eradicate it from my vocabulary, as well as anything else with similar connotations. -

i don't remember the show very well. the way that i remember feeling about it was that it was very bad, unnecessarily edgy, and just filled with really gross depictions of rape and sex and everything bad about humanity. but like with no reason or purpose for any of it but seemingly to fulfill someone's weird fetish
i heard the original manga didn't even feature aliens, it was entirely a death game sort of thing. it was supposed to be pretty good even? but the anime is my only exposure to it, and it was just really bad
still, watching the opening back, it feels like it had /something/ going on with it. btoom was another death game anime but it occupies a very different space in my head despite featuring a lot of the same themes. there's a very dreamlike quality gantz holds, and maybe that's why it sticks out in my memory.
i'm definitely not going to watch it again to find out though. the gantz anime in my head is going to be way more interesting than the gantz anime in reality and i doubt my baseline opinion of it will change. -

@allison i don't think these sorts of distros could ever appeal to "failed normies" (whatever that means). the time investment to learn this type of system management is way higher than just doing it all ad-hoc.
im not gonna defend the whole RYF thing super hard but at least you have the option to use nonfree software relatively easily if you're willing to read. -

@allison @meeper regardless of style, i'd just dive heads first into https://reaper.fm if you're looking to do some stuff in a DAW
if you're on windows or you're alright with fiddling with yabridge on linux, Spitfire Labs has a huge collection of sounds that can get you started composing music with good sounding pianos and alright strings etc: https://labs.spitfireaudio.com/
other than those two, most of my experience is in making drum & bass / trance music / whatever electronic stuff
if you wanna do audio synthesis, i highly recommend https://vital.audio
there are tons of free drum samples online that are a quick google search away.
tbh you don't really need to know sheet music to be a computer musician in 2024, but it still helps to know how to read it sometimes for sure. without any prior knowledge, a lot of midi editing can be done in a piano roll view, which is really intuitive. reaper has a sheet music view in its midi editor that you can switch to after using the piano roll too, so you can probably flip between the two and learn pretty quickly how to read Actual Music if you want. -
