i have just three words to say about the hitman series of games' mechanics: off the mark

is there a browser extension or something that will let me automatically add terms to my google searches? i'd like to add "-buy -shop -cart -warenkorb -kaufen" to basically every search but it's always a hassle to type...

Next month we will be introducing "minimal" amounts of everlasting torture to Afterlife Flex. Much less torture than Afterlife Classic. No action is required from you, and Flex remains a compelling value, but you may upgrade to Flex Plus, which has only cleansing fire and no torture, for the low price of 0.1 additional souls per month.

If the cab has not only normal seats but also supports wheelchairs and infant seats then that's also quite universal.

using the ol' sitting cat curve for the clap volume

reshared this

in reply to wayfinder

if you're asking yourself why that curve works, here's a short explanation:

- the actual clap hit is at 1.2, but it's so heavily drenched in reverb that there's essentially a fairly even bed of noise throughout the whole loop. the curve works in a similar way to the gate in a gated reverb snare (think phil collins - in the air tonight) - after all, a gate is also an automated volume curve (just dependant on the input volume)
- the cat's hump is a little preroll "sshhwwwip!" made from the reverb tail noise
- the ears happen because i give the clap a volume drop after the initial loud attack (the first ear), which creates a pumping feel, to then come back and create an echo-like effect (the second ear), which feels like a snap-back
- said attack is softened a little to not clash with the attack of the kick drum playing together with it

the overall sound is not simply a "Kshh" but more like a "shwKashah"

the best thing about this setup is really that I can just switch out the clap sample for another, and change the whole timbre while keeping the cat features. it doesn't even have to be a clap, any percussion works really, as long as there's some noise for the reverb to smear out.

someone posted this pic in the chat today:

a hipster and a grandma recognize each other's game wearing the same coat

it's a great photo!

and I immediately thought, that looks like cologne! in fact that's what I posted in reply:

wayfinder — Yesterday at 4:26 PM<br>[geoguessr voice] that looks like cologne. nice


and the part of me that watched the geoguessr world championships and genuinely thought it was the most exciting sporting event I'd seen in years was like,

could it be? could I find it?


reader, https://maps.app.goo.gl/VXzW5snmgWRmpFPF6

there it is: my hunch was RIGHT! it WAS in cologne! I DID find it on street view! what a powerful feeling!

Cologne is short for cobbled stogne, that's how you knew it was there

More things rhyme with “fire” than “flamingo”. 🤷🏻‍♂️

habt ihr das auch schon beobachtet? ich habe das gefühl einige geschäfte kommen gerade mit den preiserhöhungen und packungsverkleinerungen im einzelhandel nicht mehr hinterher, und das äußert sich dann in falschen kilopreisen auf den preisschildern. ich kaufe hauptsächlich nach denen ein, und dann stellt sich ab und zu heraus, dass der tatsächliche kilopreis erheblich höher ist als angegeben, wenn z.b. ein schild für eine 200g-packung für 2,90 daneben hängt (am besten noch per filzstift von 2,50 geändert), der hersteller aber mittlerweile die packung auf 175g verkleinert hat.

the problem is that friendica is extremely idiosyncratic about the amount of replies to a post it displays, and it can end up making it a chore to scroll through the feed. so, ideally, the script would remember which posts were collapsed, and that definitely doesn't sound like something i'd be able to whip up in an evening

looks like ublock origin may be the currently easiest solution. using the element picker, i can isolate the comments on a specific post and filter them out - then, if i want to see them again, i can turn off cosmetic filtering for the page temporarily.
