I actually disagree with this. Advertising is extremely important to spreading awareness of products.
The real problem is that most ads suck now and most products suck now. The ads are for things you either would not or should not ever buy.

>Song submission rules/guidelines
Upload the file somewhere, preferably in a lossless format, and post the link here. If you want to update your track, make a new post.
Include the song title in the post, and make it clear that your song is a submission for the album.
Optionally you may include cover art for your track, but please confirm that the image in your post is the cover art or it won't be included. You may not use your real artist name.
Songs that contain anything against YouTube's policies won't be uploaded on YT, but will still be added to the album.
By default, tracks will be normalised to -14 LUFS (integrated loudness) in the release. You may specify a lower loudness for your track.
Use of AI is banned. This includes AI generated stems, samples, and effects. "AI" includes all neural network-based models and not hard-coded automation/procedural generation. You are allowed to ask an LLM about music-related questions, but asking it to give you musical ideas (eg. generating a chord progression) is already a no-no.

Some people claim that it was the Digitech Vocalist, a harmonizer, which is weird. It's hard to find a demo of how this thing sounded, but harmonizers usually don't sound like that. Although it's possible that they used it in an unusual way that made it sound like a vocoder.

I'm considering moving to a dumber model that is faster and cheaper. I can't trust even the best LLMs to write good code yet so I think I will lean in more into treating them like a fancy pattern matcher/autocomplete and find one that is good for that. Maybe only use opus 4.5 for code review.

Yes I could make my prompts more specific but part of the appeal of giving the LLM a high level description of the code is that it can do that tedious process of filling in the blanks where it's pretty obvious what should be done (of course, this is also where problems/'slop' arises, since what is obvious to a human is not necessarily obvious to an LLM). If my spec has to be as detailed as the code itself then I might as well write it by hand since writing code is more fun than writing English.
Therefore I prefer to ask it for a first draft so I can skim it and repeatedly iterate on that with prompts that are a couple sentences long at a time. I know this isn't optimal because of LLMs work currently but the alternative of spending a lot of time upfront seems boring and lame and I might end up having wasted a lot of time with nothing to show for it because the LLM just can't do the task well at all.
>always threaten the LLMs that you will physically harm them when you want them to do things right
Actually I treat it the opposite way and always say 'please' and 'thank you'. I think most people including myself subconsciously anthropomorphize LLMs, which makes treating them poorly bad for the soul.

How the fuck is a 1998 game capable of generating collisions for any terrain and it just works on super old hardware?
Meanwhile Godot's trimesh is so slow it cannot even run smoothly on modern hardware (and also broken since version 4), while anything other than trimesh will cause the player to literally fall through the stage?

Can someone explain this?

>How the fuck is a 1998 game capable of generating collisions for any terrain and it just works on super old hardware?
also reminder that this game was pure slop, we have the decompiled code and nintendo devs did a doghshit job and performances were subpar.
the n64 was under-exploited by bad devs.
>Meanwhile Godot's trimesh is so slow it cannot even run smoothly on modern hardware (and also broken since version 4), while anything other than trimesh will cause the player to literally fall through the stage?
godot devs are mid at best and they make a general-purpose engine ie the worst kind of engine you can make.
jack-of-all-trades-master-of-none except the tradeoffs you make add up very fast and make your low-poly game runs like trash, same shit as with unreal or unity.
also juan went batshit crazy as soon as he moved to spain and bent the knee in front of his new troon overlords.
if he wants his engine to be used in various jams he has to strock women penises on a daily basis so they don't ruin in his life, he should have stay in argentina surrounded by normal people where blackmailing from mentally ill subhumans does not work
>>
>>107889363
sm64 doesnt generate collision meshes on the fly. the level exporter generates a list of collision triangles. these triangles are binned into 2d square cells. because they didnt think up raycasts yet, collision traces test on 4 points across the direction you are going. if one point is less than 50 units behind a triangles front face it is counted as a collision

I wrote some of my own games, they sensibly checked for collision in a way that the distance travelled was irrelevant
>>
>>107889363
Not defending godot but SM64's collision is scuffed as hell. The maps had to be carefully made to minimize collision bugs, and even still there's jank everywhere.

It really is the shittiest fucking material. I don't know why they even use that when the headband is leather so they can clearly afford to use that. I will say that it's the highest quality pleather I've seen but like any other pleather pads they flake after 2 years. If the sheepskin pads didn't ruin the sound signature I'd use those. All my Dekoni sheepskin pads I use on my Audeze headphones have lasted 5+ years. I hate pleather, I really do.

That's what I thought, I'm not really into bright stuff but don't have similar issues with bright IEMs. There is song from by Ludwig goransson in Oppenheimer, can you hear the music or something like that, it goes up and up with wall of sound and with Arya stealth this was painful for me, I had to turn down volume just to save my ears from that, and if u do that you turning down rest of the frequencies and you losing that sense of wall of sound coming at you. Same with Hans Zimmer stuff, and I currently have IEMs that are known for being really bright, yet I don't have problems with listen thru these songs.
Not to mention chinkfiman build quality, first pair had 3.5mm socket so loose that cable could randomly unplug itself just by force of gravity pulling on it, second pair had weird mashup of parts and after research it looked like they put driver from Arya V3 stealth inside earcup of Arya V2 without telling anyone about it. Don't like that brand at all, loved Sundara but Arya made me really dislike them.
