My Jaguars didn't quite make the playoffs (they only needed to win 7 more games), so I probably won't follow the playoffs much until the Superbowl.

Hah, nice. Followed.
i'm more on the electronic/vgm side myself, would be cool to do a collab with a vocalist here though someday
I wanna try something Flume-ish but I can't sing to save my life so yeeeah.
The fuck? why would you find THAT WEIRD? And why would you record it and show it to random weirdos online?

Very cool stuff! I think it's incredible how well our collaboration turned out considering three strangers got together for it. My original plan was to put up a 2:00 minute track, but for a small scale plan, I was afraid it'd get too complicated. So I put up the 30 second version and between Crude and eyeball's contributions, I swear I'm listening to Cream.
I'm sure there are lots of people that are into the same type of music that you could work with. Unfortunately, I would have no idea where to begin on electronic music. I wish I was that versatile. But hey, if you feel like you can add anything to that track, feel welcome. The original idea was to get as many people in on it as possible. I'd be curious to hear what you could come up with.
You think that's a strange post? Check out the "I'm going out with 5 girls, how do I get laid" thread.

Thank you Inanna * pun intended ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Seriously though it's wrong throughout.
I always feel like I flub up on the second bar, and I'm never sure what to do at the end, but I'm mostly happy with this:

It's definitely not your fault lol. The timing in the original recording itself is iffy. Cool stuff either way! Pretty cool to have three people jump in like that.

So what is up with Xbone games and shit?
I mean, firstly the discs are on the wrong side in the case. Like, why mess with that? Why do something that is so minor and stupid but sets something off in me that sees it as wrong.
Then, why does it take so long to actually be able to play any disc game? I put the Master Chief Collection in like 20- minutes ago and it's only now "installing" at 2%. I downloaded a patch for Killer Instict (which I launched and queued up after Halo, When I started Halo was the only thing in the queue) and that went fine. All I want is to play some Halo. Why do Xbone games take so long to install? I know they need to install on PS4 too but it always seems much quicker. I had the same issue with trying to play Forza Horizon 2 last week.
It seems like when it's "installing" even though it's spinning the disc drive like crazy it's really just downloading because I can't watch Netflix when it's "installing". Do I seriously have to download the whole game even though I've got the disc right here for the thing to take the data from?
Sorry for the rant, didn't want to make a thread on gaming side about it when all it was is me venting.

What is it?
If I am not mistaken it installs while downloading the updates that's why it takes so damn long but I feel you.
The idea is really cool! I'll see if I can come up with something interesting. I also play drums, but it looks like someone has already taken care of that
yeah the xb1 install times are definitely annoying. my cousin brought over just dance for the christmas party at our house and we had to wait for what felt like an eternity for it to install the game + required patches. it's odd how much slower it is compared to the ps4 when it comes to that.

Well I'm getting a vibe that this one girl is into me but I don't feel the same way.. She said she wants to talk and meet up soon.. But idk how to break it down to her. I finished a 3 yr relationship several months ago and I just want to chill you know I don't want to get into a relationship now. I feel sad cause I don't want to make her feel bad ;/
I'm friendly person by nature and I never led her on cause that's a dick move.

Rough... Well, see if you can find a buffer. Make sure it's not the two of you alone. Most importantly, if you're right about her intentions, you need to be honest.

Yeah, what we might try sometime is after the other parts are written, I listen and record a drum part. When I've got the timing as good as I can, everyone else re-records their parts with my part as a metronome. With the drums being a MIDI instrument, it's relatively easy to manually fix timing.
NoctisVsStar
Member
Oh boy.. Man this will be tough. She knows I'm not looking or interested in no one but she said she needs to take something off her chest she's been holding for quite sometime.. So it's a giveaway.
Skullface

That's a good point. A little percussion always helps to aid the recording's timing. It would have been helpful if I had that during the initial recording, but I never thought to ask. I guess I could have used a metronome, but I didn't think of it at the time lol. It's easy to work in vocals and guitar with wonky timing after the fact, but drums are tough.

Yeah that's what I thought there's no sugarcoating this. I was intending to be honest I just wanted to soften the blow somehow.

Find a buffer bro. If I lived in NYC, I'd do it my self. This will make things much easier. Preferably someone that's not afraid to jump and say, "wait, dude... You just ended a pretty serious relationship. I know it's none of my business, but.. Etc etc."
That way, she hates your bro, not you. Lol. I've done it before, and I still get thanks on occasion from my boy.

Just be honest about it, no harm in that. I'm sure she would understand especially since you were out from a 3 YEAR relationship several months ago. Also, let her express herself. It'll make her feel better and if she really has that strong of a feeling for you then she'll wait for you when you're ready. For the time being, being friends doesn't sound like a bad thing but please explain to her it's not a friend zone kind of shit. Don't you just hate it? Now everything gets labeled as a "friend zone" when it comes to something about the opposite sex lol.

It sucks because I think rejection makes a lot of folk automatically think "what's wrong with me where they won't even give me a shot?". There was a time when I thought this way. But as an adult, I like to think I can let these things roll off my back. Noctis, take some solace in the fact that se should be adult enough to accept the situation for what it is.

Excellent.
Psssssssst:
Use headphones so you don't record the metronome... 
Tell her she is like a sister to you. Unless you've already fucked, in which case that would be a little weird (though hopefully she'd back away even faster).
NoctisVsStar

Third party? Lol she deserves an honest answer.
Of course not, I can't do that it's a dick move and I'm friendly person by nature so that's a no-no rest easy on that. =]Just don't start ignoring her
That's how all men talk to me. It's really nice.
Yup I won't throw out the " it's me not you thing" but you're right.
Even though it's not the friendzone deal here but I feel she deserves the respect of a truthful answer, cause she will remain my friend regardless.
Psssssssst:Use headphones so you don't record the metronome...
Huh, apparently GarageBand exports that along with the music if you leave it on when you select share. That's weird.

Well good. Except I've had people say they wouldn't do it...and then did lol. But I'm also a pariah when it comes to men, so...oh well. I'm used to it.
I'm glad you'll be kind to her.

I think more people should just realize that everyone has a preference or has just been in too much shit in life to get into a relationship at the moment. It doesn't have to be " I rejected the idea of us being in a relationship because I think you're ugly" It's more like "I enjoy ketchup with my steak but I prefer mushroom sauce" if that makes any sense.

I've known you for a short time in this thread and you come off as super nice. So you a pariah never that lol. But yeah avoiding or ignoring people is so slimey I just can't do such a thing, I'm just dreading at that fact my answer will make her feel sad anyway. I'm very considerate of the other parties feelings instead of worrying about myself which i feel is the correct way to approach things.

Fuck... In my younger years I used to be a total tool. I wouldn't think twice about blowing a girl off if I wasn't feeling it. I'm not proud of it, but reading your posts, I feel particularly bad about it :/

I would say just be honest with her. I have to make these decisions like all the time so I think I'm slightly getting pro at it.
If she does tell you that she's been feeling you for some time and she feels something between the two of you could go further, just break it down like...
It's hard right now after coming off a 3 yr relationship to jump back in one and right now you enjoy the company. She's good people's, chill, down to earth, but you are just not ready. Remind her that want to be close friends and don't want to lose her as that,because what you guys both have right now is nice and that's the best part of it. You aren't pulling out hope but you are also giving her time to step back, see the situation, still make her feel like you aren't completely ignoring her and putting her off to the side but still there for her. Pull out the "Sis" card if you have to.
The harsh reality is that you are friend zoning her but with a soft grace period which really doesn't have a deadline.

True, she texted me out of the blue and told me that she wanted to meet up and talk and she said also " no matter the outcome of our convo I value our friendship more than anything" I even put the ball in her court saying if she prefers telling via text although the message will be cheapen this way or in person. She said in person which I don't mind plus I feel she deserves the right to know face to face instead of a cop out text.
That makes is really easy to just ignore me and treat me like crap. Lol.
Good I'm glad you're a nice person.
Lol, I'm in my late 20s, this is men my age and older. It's universal when it comes to me.
like I said, I'm used to it, expect it if I interact with men, and am unsurprised when it happens. This, plus the fact that I just don't want to talk to men outside of work anymore, is why I am pretty happy being alone.

I'm glad that it doesn't bother you, but no one deserves the cold shoulder. Communication is the very least you can give your fellow human in almost any given situation.

Oh god, that was a joke. I mean, I did it to someone when I was 19, but I was absolutely not trying to preserve a friendship; she was clinging and not making a move and I was not interested.
Wow! It doesn't export the count-in if you're curious. I use the virtual drummer instead of the metronome, but then I'm not trying to play drums.
EDIT:

That sucks. I count so many women as friends, I can't imagine being treating anyone the way you describe (well, excepting my 19-year old sister-claims above).
Like I said, I'm used to being treated like less than human by men.
I expect it so I just avoid it now.No guy friends here IRL. A couple online, though.

Mid 20s here (oh god, when did that happen ;_
and the same has happened to me in the past. I'm used to it by now and I get it. I'd probably just ignore me if I could too.

Nope. I don't date and wouldn't want to anyway, so no thanks.
