Is there any way to make it disappear faster besides just hoping that it shows enough times for me to improve my ratio of correct to incorrect answers? It's starting to get aggravating.

just be patient, meanwhile keep studying the pony chart (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Interesting that people are complaining about this user. He stopped causing <minor> trouble in the HV game markets a long time ago, maybe he had found a more lucrative way to cause trouble. Most important of all: this picture is hot.

Hmm interesting. I almost never check the Image Set category so I don't know about this.

captchas are a little hard right now, my Internet is bad,buffering takes several seconds...

Sometimes I wonder if some accounts are clone when a few of them request for free stuff from my shop with the same message in a short period of time

Or maybe they just copypaste the last previous post, because they're so lazy even writing a few words is too much ? (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

Either way, I can see why this is annoying you a bit ...

I just select a random pony unless its obvious. Those things only get in my way.

I got one cackle and one wink so far. I didn't see my stamina drop so that must be good news. Bad news is I've gotten two of them in just 4 days of doing only start-of-day random encounters. That's a gap more than 50 times smaller than normal gaps I experience between pony puzzles (I see one pony puzzle in no less than 2 months doing just one RE a day).

I feel like/think the morale bars should change color below 50% and/or should fall below 50% only when morale is low enough to require some happy pills.
I'm not sure how things work currently, and what I said above may not, alone, make a good system, but I feel something may be wrong with the current way :/
Right now it's just weird.

Ya know... I think it'd be nice if we could see our current xp bonus multiplier after hath, perks, forum bonus thing, etc. somewhere.

He naturally produces Mofunium, a lightweight carbon-based filament which rivals adamantium in durability.

I can finally watch and listen to YouTube videos in decent quality with my new PC (they load instantly and have normal fps). My TV speakers are way better than the computer monitor speakers, so I can probably hear some bass now for song contests. I still have my old computers, if I don't want to use big TV setup.

Full quality audio system will follow, but I'm not in any rush so it could be half a year before it's in. I guess it will depend on luck of the draw, because I don't feel like spending $2,000 ~ $10,000 on speakers. Whenever I can find some decent used ones that I like will probably be when I can properly listen to music on this setup. Unless anyone has brands they can recommend, or online places where used speakers are sold. (They don't seem to be sold in the common venues, it's all weird audio sites and stuff).

There's ultra cheap Magnapans now that I've always wanted but I'm not sure they fit this area due to their dipole nature and my house material. I think high quality regular speakers are better for me this time around. I have high quality speakers for my offline media PC, but that company went out of business when the creator died.



What the heck is this. What game is this. What song is this? I kind of like it. Ass Spanker should watch this, although he might suffer minor trauma.

I am setting up this house to be a studio so that I can do stupid stuff like this, too. In theory. In reality, I will hopefully realize how dumb this is before it happens.

With modern technology, speakers don't have to be expensive to be good. They just have to not be tiny and not be $30.

I have a pair of these,
[www.alesis.com] Alesis M1active 520 USB

Now discontinued, but they were only $200, and they're great. 75W is more than loud enough for the computer room, and the audio is great. I don't have to be near them; it fills the whole room easily. Sometimes I turn them up & listen from the bathroom.

I actually wanted the M1 Active 620 (also discontinued), but I didn't have room for them on the shelf.

[www.soundonsound.com] Alesis M1 Active 620 & 520

The 520s have 5" woofers and the 620s 6.5". I think that's a good compromise range in terms of quality vs size & cost.

Do they need to be USB, or do you have an external digital to analog converter? How much space do you have to fit them in?

I'd look at the Yamaha HS5 (5", $200 per speaker) and HS7 (6.5", $330 ea). They're supposed to be some of the best sounding in the size range.

Rather than annoying, it just triggers my sensor. It's always the same 2-3 accounts requesting for stuff at the same time as well. It reminds me of that time when I was a teaching assistant and I found these 2 dudes submitting homework at the same time, with a similarity factor of >90%. Gave them a chance to come clean, but neither admitted. Not sure what the professor did to them, maybe fed to the pigs.

Shamefully admitted, I have been listening to a fair bit of vtuber (original) music recently. I deem it a necessary evil to gain access to my favorite composers/producers.

I could go either the computer speakers route (they'd have to be top of the line in that category) or the traditional route with an external amplifier and passive (or active) real speakers. I am much more likely to go the latter route, as that is what I've always done before.

I have no size limit on the speakers themselves, however room acoustics and size does dictate what kind of speakers make sense. This area is not particularly large, so small speakers make the most sense. This is not commonly known, but certain kinds of speakers no matter how much they cost are more suited to large rooms or concert halls. For most medium and small rooms, really the best speakers you want are small or medium-sized, with the same kind of form factor as what Necromusume posted. You can still spend anywhere from $100 to $10000 for such speakers, but the top end is more about bragging rights and riches, and I'm not seriously intending to go there at this time, as I'm not currently a follower of such circles.

I want those dirt cheap Magnapans, but they won't sound at their best in this house. As for the Alesis that Necromusume posted, I skimmed the article and thought "magnetic shielding wha?!" then I saw the article is from 2006. Your speakers are quite old, the same as most of mine. (People don't use magnetic shielding anymore because they only affected CRT televisions).

As for their quality, without listening to them I can guess that they probably sound like an average or low-medium quality real speaker (amplifier plus passive speakers) setup. I can read what the drivers are made of and the crossover frequencies design and freq response range and sort of guess.

Speaker technology actually hasn't fundamentally improved in over 30 years. People are still doing the same things, with age old ideas. A few new ideas and materials mix in but they don't revolutionize anything. I feel there is one particular thing people are failing to understanding regarding speaker design, so no one ever made the exact proper speaker I wanted.

I have a couple of audiophile brands I have my eye on, but I don't really want to pay their asking price of $2,000 ~ $4,000 a set, so I need to bargain hunt for used. Except I don't know where the secret audiophile sites are these days, I only know that Ebay is limiting what you see to 15% of what's out there.

Larger woofers are not necessarily any better than small. Given what I know about speaker design, I could go with either 5" or 6.5" woofers, but I don't want to go bigger. I want slim speakers, because the most important aspect of this room is the vtubering, and big speakers will get in the way of the TVs. My computer itself is already getting in the way (I don't want to put it on the ground because this room has carpet) and may take up a TV slot.

I don't know how streaming and vtubering works yet, so I do not know how many TVs that I will need. However I am expecting to need around 3 large screen TVs, and I am leaving open the possibility to use 10 large TVs and make like a 360 degree studio. For god knows what. There is also a big ass piano in this relatively small room that I have to work around.

I looked into that video a bit more and it seems this is a test run for their real performance live in Japan at the Tokyo Game Show this weekend. The lead girl does appear to be a professional idol dancer or whatever, and already rehearsed enough. (The other girl said she was doing this for the first time). She is all funny and glitchy in that video but it's her apartment setup causing it: she will presumably not be glitchy in Japan.

I thought you might recognize their song, but maybe not. Maybe it's a vtuber original song? It sounds good though so I thought maybe it was a doujin, rhythm game, or popular idol song or something. I predict this vtubering stuff will catch on and grow exponentially, so you are doing the right thing. It shall eventually become the way of things.

I looked up the price I paid and it was actually $180 for the pair, and they'd been on sale elsewhere for $130. I don't want people to get the idea that inexpensive speakers sound like crap; they don't. If we are playing lossily compressed audio streams off of Youtube, I don't think there is a point to $2k+ speakers. People couldn't tell the difference between [consumerist.com] monster cable & coat hangers.

And the bigger woofers in the 620s do give some more bass range per the specs, but in practice it's good enough. What I meant is there are physical limits to what you can do with a small speaker.

Even if speaker designs haven't changed much in 30 years, manufacturing technology has advanced radically, which makes it possible to deliver the same good-enough quality for a lower price.

Really, I think there needs to be a different word. Audiophile means someone who loves sound. You don't have to pay big money to be able to enjoy recordings anymore. The term for people who have to have expensive kit should be priceygearophile.
