Bummer! Thank you for helping me get started with Lemmy, and good luck in your future endeavors!

I know this probably isn’t too uncommon these days, but I’m fuckin impressed that y’all pulled off something this slick remotely

I’m old, love DOOM and Aesop Rock/HMM, so I appreciate the big vocabulary and tongue-in-cheek weirdness — keep up the good work!

One of the later SNES games called Secret of Evermore!

It’s kind-of a spiritual successor to Secret of Mana, but with a more sci-fi bent.

I’m late to this party, but you might appreciate the open source Axis and Allies engine called TripleA.

My step-dad was a big WWII history buff, and he had the pc version of Axis and Allies installed on the family computer! Loved it and occasionally fire up TripleA for nostalgia.

Thank you for this! Graeber was my favorite anthropologist, and his work informed my research in grad school.

I departed the academic world years ago, but felt a huge loss for the discipline and for the global left when he passed. Currently working my way (very slowly) through The Dawn of Everything.

Interesting take, but super surprised to find it paired with an Isaac run!

I’ve been exploring studio work this year on a small budget, and I’ve been able to get some pretty good sounds using ardour as my DAW.

That said, I’ve been using windows (boo, I fuckin hate it, can’t wait to run out my warranty and get back to Linux) and plenty of closed-sourc donationware or gratis-tier plugins. The plugin selection in particular is where I’ve felt the limitations of FOSS for music production.

Some examples: Analog Obsession has some great donationware (I’m partial to the Comper compressor), and for free-tier versions of proprietary plugins, I really like the way Tokyo Dawn’s Nova EQ sounds.

For open source plugins, I think Airwindows has some very interesting options!

Now, take my experience with a grain of salt: I’m coming from the live audio production world, and that’s the material I’ve been working with. Since you’re more focused on creating your own music in the box, you may not need the kinds of tools for which I’ve been reaching while trying to mix and master multitracked, full band performances.

Good luck!!!
