Discussion of synthesis methods similar to the Yamaha line of chips, Sound Blasters + clones, PCM chips like RF5C68, and CD theory of operation are also on-topic.

cr1901_modern: http://deathgenerator.com/#doug well it's out now so you can try to fit that in there. the text box is kinda tiny though
<Foone_>
I should probably make it inaccurate and just dynamically extend the box downward
<andlabs>
[15:31:35] <cr1901_modern>I want to have the Doug generator say this quote: "Remember, every corpse on Everest was once an extremely dedicated person."
<andlabs>
*skeeter honk honk here*
<andlabs>
(afk)
<whitequark>
Foone_: lmao edit.com
<Foone_>
update: I have now implemented that dynamic sizing thing I mentioned

Foone_: My second most RT'd tweet ever, and it barely made a blip in impressions :D https://twitter.com/cr1901/status/1133340489074270208. Moral for next time- don't think shitposts generate anything more than a passing glance :D
<whitequark>
i wonder what's my most rt'd tweet
<cr1901_modern>
You've had a couple 4-figure ones, but I don't remember offhand
<whitequark>
really? i don't recall any
* cr1901_modern
looks for the Chrome crashing url tweet
<cr1901_modern>
Something like about://pleaseactuallycrashIknowwhatImdoingkthxbai
<cr1901_modern>
My most RT'd tweet is this, mainly because I think you and jessfraz RT'd it: https://twitter.com/cr1901/status/882052355549798400 (I need to find more manuals from this era for my collection, prob on bitsavers)
<whitequark>
tbh i've never felt like something good when a tweet went viral
<whitequark>
good happened*
<whitequark>
mostly having to listen to the same tedious reply caused by a bad wording for 115th time
<cr1901_modern>
perfectly fair... and I'd most likely feel the same way in your position. Just feels nice sometimes if when you yell into the void, the void acknowledges.
<whitequark>
well it seems like a sort of accmoplishment to me, yes. number go up
<cr1901_modern>
>number go up
<cr1901_modern>
Big mood. I def liked grinding in JRPGs to watch those stupid numbers go up when I played games.
<whitequark>
oh, i hate grinding in games so much
<whitequark>
i just think of how it's a single word in memory
<cr1901_modern>
... ... ... ouch, that hurts XD
<whitequark>
i mean sure there's puzzle games like factorio
<whitequark>
i just think of how i could spend that time on nmigen instead, they're about equal parts work
<whitequark>
but at least one of them isn't artificially hard
<cr1901_modern>
Tbf, I can't play Zachtronics games for the same reason
<cr1901_modern>
(Not to mention, I stopped playing games basically after PS2 reached end of life, and the gaming landscape has changed SO much since then. Online was just not a thing back then except for Halo 2/3.)
<whitequark>
i end up reducing all single player games to luck and strategy and strategy is studying hard to outsmart a computer specifically designed to challenge you trying to outsmart it and nothing else
<whitequark>
and like why bother? it's just work
<cr1901_modern>
What games do you play nowadays w/ friends? Team Fortress IIRC
<whitequark>
i basically don't
<whitequark>
it's -really- easy to end up in a situation where i feel like i Must succeed at the game
<whitequark>
and i don't mean succeed as in gain status. i mean succeed as ... well i just start treating it sort of like a job
<cr1901_modern>
mmm. I can still use them as an escape, but limiting it significantly was very good for me in the long run.
<cr1901_modern>
And well not to mention... none of the games I want to play w/ others _have_ online multiplayer lmao
<cr1901_modern>
SNES had the xband adapter, which required RE and hot-patching cartridges from the era. And emulators _without_ said hotpatching can't really do the latency required for old games w/o stupid complex shit like predicting the future state of the console and rolling back if there's a mistake.
<cr1901_modern>
Virtual Boy never got a link cable officially, but ppl have learned to 3d print their own ones... there's enough homebrew for it that I suspect someone will try to make online games w/ the console feasible w/ a "game-link-to-USB/Ethernet" adapter.
<cr1901_modern>
b/c why the hell not
<Foone_>
whitequark: I know how that is. I tend not to play a lot of games because I get too involved and also if I'm just having fun, my brain gets into AnxietyMode because obviously I should be doing something more important
