Fine but far away from good still.
Argument from monday is mostly resolved i think.
>what's something you like doing? it doesn't need to be a hobby
Sitting still and looking through my room after taking my meds. Everything is so interesting and quiet when im on them. They are supposed to help me focus and do brain work actually but i just sorta do this instead. Im either getting myself in trouble and worrying about everything or watch paint dry. I don't mind spending my time this way.

Today is a little different however. Did autistic research on an old company, that besides two patents from ~1970 and their products, left nothing behind.

I think so. Can't put my finger on it though. Might start a depressive episode again soon, which is always fun.

>what's something you like doing
I miss shooting machineguns. Sometimes I think about reenlisting. Or contracting. Wouldn't be worth it though, got too much at home.

hm that does sound nice. how long does this feeling last usually? i guess as long as they make you feel fine then it's not a bad thing.

well let's hope not anon. maybe if you dont think about it too much then it'll leave you alone
>Wouldn't be worth it though
indeed, are there not any shooting ranges that let you shoot machine guns? i honestly like just looking at guns and the engineering behind them rather than actually shooting them (not that i could anyway), but i would love to shoot a deagle at least once in my life!

Maybe. Unfortunately my job provides me nothing but time to think, as I am stuck in a box for most of the day.

>there not any shooting ranges that let you shoot machine guns?
There is one about an hour and some change away. Don't really have the money right now though because I got some home repairs I'm trying to do.

>looking at guns and the engineering behind them
I wish I had a better head for it. Mechanics is something I can get enough of an understanding of to perform basic maintenance but I can't really get into the nitty gritty of the function. I bet money I could still disassemble and reassemble my M249 blindfolded though

Good day huanon, i shall hope your day has been decent. today is silent as always., the isolation dulls your mind untill you cant remeber what is real and what is in your mind. oh well thats how it goes nothing will change. i quite enjoy spinning in my chair at the moment then standing up and running in circles, mind it makes me feel like a retard and i fall over most the time but ah it is funny for a while when there is little else left to wait for unless i sleep for the rest of time.

>how long does this feeling last usually?
Supposedly its supposed to last for around 8 hours and with my schedule even longer but i bask in its feeling for around an hour if at all. The blood content of the drug is supposed to stay the same for around 4 hours but only the first is really interesting for this usecase if you can call it that.
>what kind of company was it?
The only products i can find are timers for analogue photo enlargers. Mine works perfectly to this day. But there is zero, 0, absolutely no information about this company online besides people selling these old devices.
Asked /wsr/ and /p/ for help but so far there is no clear picture of where the company went or even what exactly it did. All i have is a enlarger timer with their name on it. And now the last name "Hauck" lives rent-free in my head.
>reminds me of exploring abandoned buildings/factories and such. i love doing that!
used to do that too but stopped a while ago. Was really fun and i don't get why people say its so dangerous.

i mean... i'm not the sharpest tool in the shed,
and i still enjoy looking at insight videos on how things like guns or warships are able to exist and how they function. i dont understand half the things, but i still go "woah thats cool as hell" when i watch them. i mean i get fascinated with a lot of things people might find mundane. even cars.

perhaps they were involved in some illicit business and wanted to disappear from everywhere after they got discovered or failed?
it's cool that you got a piece of their history though. it might just be the only one left on earth for all you know!
>i don't get why people say its so dangerous
i think the only ones that say it's dangerous are the ones that never actually tried it. it's not like the building that has been abandoned for 15 years is gonna collapse just because some random guy walks in it!

Haha sadly no. These thighs are for sale all over the world so im probably not the only one looking into this piece of history. Don't think they did anything illegal however. Most companies like it died just before the year 2000. Demand for then dropped almost to zero and with how specialized they were most could not adapt and enter a new market.
Although film is going through a renaissance right now. Maybe some random dude will rebuild his great-great-great-great-grandfathers business and finally explain wtf happened? Would be funny.

I did music stuff a bit longer than that, but I didn't really play instruments in the past. I kinda had halfassed piano lessons when I was 16, but I quit and I never got far. It was also around covid I think.

They get assigned. You end up filling every role at least once though, so if your squad leader isn't retarded he'll assign you what you're good at.

>come the evolution of technology has slowed down so much now?
Lots of theories on that one. My guess is that it's mostly three things
1) We have a competency crisis going on world wide, as people are hamstrung with DEI shit
2) the more experimental projects never receive funding any more because unless something is guaranteed to turn a profit, no one will invest in it and the government won't put grant money into it
3) We may be actually approaching the limit of what is physically possible within our current understanding of the universe. As such, we would need either a new branch of science to be discovered or we would have to somehow fundamentally change our universe (not happening) in order to create truly innovative new technologies

>hm, interesting how?
difficult to explain. You know how with ADHD everything is everywhere at the same time in your head? Meds make it not be that way and at first the feeling is very novel and you almost fall asleep because of how mellow you are and after some experience you sorta notice the small things. Like its not just "Yeah its my room alright" is "ooh that lamp looks kinda freaky. I guess that piece furniture fits nicely". The background stops being a background and im sorta immersed or at least more involved with it. This then applies to most things. Even just browsing 4chan is an entirely new experience compared to without.
You don't get any happy chemicals injected into your brain but your brain is less retarded and starts working how it should which includes things being rewarding and then happy chemicals get released.

At least that is how i perceive it.
I think i actually described the mellowness before but this is the first time i put the second half into words. Hope i wrote well enough for others to get a picture. If not just ask.
>have you researched anything like this in the past?
Not in this depth and for this long. Most other things are on the internet so they are relatively quickly found. But picrel has pretty much no information about itself besides itself. Not even an ad or catalogue are clearly on the internet.
The company name is written in a new format in almost every time i can find it and there are enough red herrings to feed the world for year.
Its not even that special of a device idk why im so fixated. I guess being, for all intents and purposes, perfectly accurate for around 50 years without modern tech is sorta impressive.

hmm that makes sense. how was the military training? is it really as bad as everyone says? I kinda had the idea to join the navy in case nothing else works.
>My guess is that it's mostly three things
those are all good theories. i think the first 2 might be more feasible, specially number 2. in this economy and society basically everything that isn't profitable gets put in the sidelines. sadly. honestly i think we could be miles ahead by now especially in space exploration if only we didn't focus on just making things more efficient and less expensive. i could go on a rant on the specifics but eh. who cares. it's not like i was gonna go to space in my lifetime anyways. i just hope things will change in the future.

Pretty much. If you count books. Most of my music knowledge/ability is from reading music books.
>were you forced to attend those?
No I wanted to, but my little sister wanted to piano too and the whole covid thing made me procrastinate. She ended up taking the piano from me.
>also piano is always good honestly just because it teaches some basic music theory. i kinda wnna learn it too
Yeah piano is really intuitive with that. The fretboard is really ineffective for showing music theory. It's pretty much the norm that composers use piano. Maybe guitar is more common in song writers as main instrument, but it's easy to orchestrate and make music with more parts with a piano. Since you can play multiple lines.

>sometimes it happens to me even without meds or anything
Was the same thing but got rarer and rarer over time. Eventually i was basically brain dead and was a vegetable for a couple of years. Could not learn anything new but things i already knew stuck with me. I feel like that is about to change however. I have been taking fairly low doses so far and im still in the process of increasing them.
>and i think this feeling gets stronger when I've drank alcohol.
Absolutely not comparable! With alcohol you may feel like you're focus on something but its because your brain has no choice not to. These meds do not sedate you in any way and the "background not being a background" thing is also entirely different.
Like, alcohol is just another but still terrible version of you but with these pills its still the 100% authentic you but you are not fucking around. Even before knowing that there is treatment like this i felt this way. The slower and thinking side is (((me))), the rest is mental illness. But alcohol doesn't reduce the good or the bad side, it pushes you into a whole other direction.
Mellowness is not sedation!
Its the same reason why neurotypicals abusing these drugs is so retarded. Its proven not to improve performance for them because there is nothing to fix. And medical drugs (especially in the EU) do not feel "nice". Alcohol does, meds don't(as a direct consequence). Its one of the reasons why methheads take meth and not Ritalin. If i need to explain better then please ask. Its important not to confuse these things i think and if i can help i will.

Nah, it's pretty easy. I think a lot of people just ain't used to getting yelled at. If you're in okay physical shape, can follow basic instructions, and can deal with getting your ass chewed out without crying then Basic is a cakewalk. Just sucks to be away from home.

so i've heard. i know some guitarists that compose music on piano and then translate it to guitar, and it sounds so damn good. since you know some piano too, perhaps you could add some short piano parts to your songs too!

lets hope so anon. im a bit scared with time ill also end up needing to get meds to avoid turning into a vegetable. it is what it is i guess...
>with these pills its still the 100% authentic you
oh wow that does sound nice. i think i get what you mean with them being different, although since i've never had the chance to compare i guess it's hard to understand what being the "100% authentic" me. like, with alcohol i guess i become more friendly so it's not really me. but isnt meds the same but instead of becoming social i just become more productive/attentive?

Tabs are pretty nice. I don't usually use bass much, but I have used it in the past. Making a non dumbsounding bassline is kinda hard.
>ah, is she good with it at least? perhaps you can still get back into it in the future.
I'm not sure. I haven't seen her in some time since she moved out. I do like piano, but I think it would be better if I focused more on getting better at guitar.
>so i've heard. i know some guitarists that compose music on piano and then translate it to guitar, and it sounds so damn good. since you know some piano too, perhaps you could add some short piano parts to your songs too!
I have added piano parts to guitar songs before. I make a decent amount of music that doesn't include guitar with vsts. Sometimes I make pure piano pieces.
There are a few limitations when turning piano music to guitar and vice versa, since they are different, but sometimes it works fine.

>im a bit scared with time ill also end up needing to get meds to avoid turning into a vegetable
Its not like they are only sunshine and happiness. A friend of mine who took them regularly for five years reported hearing weird things after quitting. Its unclear if it was actual psychosis or his brain starting to loose track again and him being used for it not to but its something to consider.

For me trading being guaranteed unwell for potentially not being unwell was worth it so took the chance. Its not like its incredibly difficult to quit, the symptoms just come back but that's about it i think.

I have more pills than i need to cover being medicated 24/7 but i still don't take em all the time. Being sober and off them sorta blurs, especially in the short term. I feel like my brain learns how to dance and that it doesn't need assistance all the time as said dancing becomes muscle memory.
>it's hard to understand what being the "100% authentic" me
Chances are you already did experience it a couple of times.
Dunno why but sometimes there were these moments of clarity where the circus just sorta stopped. Comparing this baseline with the meds i think its very similar. Just that it kicking in so quickly might be eyebrow raising at first. Sitting in that old building on my own for example was one of the places this sorta happened. Impossible to accurately describe however. I did see similar things happen in others however.

I can't really tell it via text. They don't automatically make you productive either. Just when i wanna do something i feel more like sticking at it which in turn also makes me more friendly and happy.
Alcohol is way different. I used to drink huge amounts sometimes
Impossible to describe. I used to have lots of alc binges so i get why its possible to confuse these things but it really is very different. It works in reverse. It makes your head underachieve even more so it doesn't feel as bad as having it be this way normally.

You don't really need any pills like these to fix yourself. Especially if you don't feel like a vegetable yet but not having a good environment and routine makes it feel almost impossible, some are just forced into this position sadly. I tried and channeled almost monk like willpower but i just can't anymore.


Even if nothing of this matters at least take away that drinking is just shit. I cannot even do it anymore, i actually get sick after i realized this. Even in moderation its just, nah. It seems like it helps sometimes but it doesn't and its especially dangerous for you if you are like this.
If you manage to focus, regardless by which method, you don't even want to drink regardless of amount or occasion.

The suicides are tragic. I never knew anyone in training that killed themselves but a few of the adjacent training companies had some suicides. I did have two people I knew who killed themselves at the unit I went to, plus I think seven from our battalion on a deployment. Didn't know any of them well though.

>space mcdonalds
McDonald's aint even good. For shame, anon.

>space is fascinating!
It's a truly neverending frontier. And it is so massive and so beautiful.

>they all sounded weird. i guess i should start playing bass too...
Yeah bass is weird. I think it's more limited since it needs to outline the harmony.
>ohh!! can i listen? i love piano. it's actually my favourite instrument despite me playing guitar. so whenever i hear a song with guitars and piano together its like, "hell yeah"
If your favorite instrument is piano you should play piano more. Vsts are pretty good these days so you can get a pretty realistic sound out of them.

I was a bit confused if you wanted me to post a pure piano piece or a song with just piano in it. So I just posted both.

Here is a song I made with Una. I don't have much music with both piano and guitar, since when I make music with guitar I usually hyperfocus on guitar stuff, but i'm gonna think more about adding other instruments with guitar from now on

Here is a pure piano piece I did some time ago.

>but im naive enough to think that i can still manage to live somewhat happily even without them
That's not really being naive. This is true actually. But its also true that its way harder now than it should be. I don't think that there was a period of time where things were so upside down. But regardless, we gotta do as much as possible so the ones after us don't need to struggle the same way. The ones before us got too cocky and now look at this situation we found ourselves in.
> i basically only do it when i cant take reality anymore (and it's usually just a beer or two) but yeah
Its unironically very dangerous. Life sucking is already bad on its but these issues just seem to compound. I used to do the very same thing when i drank. Everybody has heard this a thousand times already but this is really bad. It makes everything worse and you become dependent on it. The occasional beer probably won't hurt if it fits the right occasion but coping from reality is not one of them.
>thats what i fear mostly. having to rely on pills to work seems dreadful to me.
Its a lot of people sadly. Just look at how many people were on anti depressants at least during some point during their lives. In my opinion those are really only a desperate measure when nothing else was possible. 13% of all people were still forced according to the CDC.

BUT its not all bad. Its easy so succumb to "The grass is greener on the other side" thinking. Things could always be so much worse instead. Doing your best, even if doesn't much, already gets you 90% towards a comfy life.

>how can I trust you to watch my ass in a firefight, you know?
i guess that's fair. though i'd give them the benefit of the doubt. so if it happens just once yknow, i dont think they should just start kicking them down even more since it will just worsen the situation.
>plus I think seven from our battalion on a deployment
wow that's terrible anon. poor souls. i guess in a way better to go that way than bleeding out in a trench... sigh. really sad.
>McDonald's aint even good. For shame, anon.
i was just joking!! i dont even eat mcdonalds. i hate fast food. i was merely making fun of your american heritage
>It's a truly neverending frontier
just the idea that this "thing" called space literally never ends is nuts. what do you mean, it goes FOREVER?? i really hope they'll make some kind of technology that lets us see the space closer... whats your favourite thing about space? also, do you know about the heat death of the universe? that's such a weird concept to me.

>I think it's more limited since it needs to outline the harmony.
hm hm i agree. honestly bassists dont get enough credit. maybe im just saying that cause my brother is one though.
>you should play piano more
oh anon, if i had the money to i would... still, i'd like to get some guitar courses first.
>Here is a song I made with Una
that's great!! thank you for sharing. if i may, i think it would benefit greatly if you added a part which is faster than the rest. like yknow, a buildup to something, since the one you added w the guitar at around 1,13 doesnt really do much on it's own. i still think it's quite nice for a slow song though. better than anything i could do anyways. the little solo at the end is also great! also, how do you write the lyrics for these songs?
>piano piece
it's lovely! honestly i could see (or rather, hear heh) this as some background music for a game or something like that. thank you so much for sharing!! ...really makes me wanna learn piano too

i know anon, i've seen people suffer so much from alcohol firsthand, but what else can i do? i'm not gonna be an alcoholic. if i do ill just kms
>Its a lot of people sadly
yeah and its sad. it has almost become weird not to be on some kind of pills nowdays. and yet people dont even care. they just take them and go on anyways like its normal.

I have heard they tend to be underpaid sadly.
>i think it would benefit greatly if you added a part which is faster than the rest
Back when I made this I was still struggling to playing fast/effiecent due to too much tension when playing. I'm having to limit my creativity to what I'm able to play unless I start editing guitar audio heavily which kinda ruins the point of adding in guitar recordings for me.
>how do you write the lyrics for these songs?
I usually go two ways about it.
1. Chords playing, adding lyrics/notes to the chords. Kinda like lyrical improvisation. Sometimes I write lyrics for premade melodies, but that's hard since you need to have lyrics that fit the syllable count to the melody and also make a coherent meaningful sentence.
2. I write the lyrics first, then chords that fit the feeling of the lyrics then I add a melody that has note count that fits the syllables in the lyrics

In either case you also want to aim for most of the sung notes to be on the underlying chord or else it sounds bad.

our generation and the ones after us are already sorta starting to see issues that the ones before did not. So while im a big proponent of the fact that nothing ever happens, maybe by some miracle it will in the future?
>i'm not gonna be an alcoholic
I'll pray you won't even come close.
Being self-aware is already a huge roadblock towards that path.
>they just take them and go on anyways like its normal.
Don't forget to give half of your paycheck to the government and to enjoy your corn syrup and palm oil!

Im already half way there so i might as well just shizo out in the forest and stop participating. Funny how attractive this option is.

Also i don't really know what happened to picrel. He used to make videos about computers and used soijaks. Now he is doing whatever this type of content is called.
But he seems happier now. Sorta jelly.

The idea is that you either break, or you toughen up. Now as to whether or not this works in practice... I don't know. I'm not a Drill Sergeant.

>better to go that way than bleeding out in a trench
I think I'd rather choose the latter. At least then I could pretend it meant something.

>making fun of your american heritage
Fair, we deserve it

>whats your favourite thing about space?
The existence of things so large and incomprehensible that we will never properly come to grips with them. God's own little way of keeping us humble, I think.

>heat death of the universe
It's a theory, but you have to remember that it isn't proven. Science isn't a monolith, it's a constantly evolving process that grows with our understanding. Until we truly get "hands on" with a lot of things out in the universe I wouldn't put much stock in the theory.

Besides, it's a couple billion years out anyway, if it turns out to be true.

they do make me feel like im just an ant compared to everything else, in a way it's scary but in a way it's relieving too. i don't matter, and thats pretty cool i guess?

yeah, i just find it curious how the only rule that always stands no matter what is that everything has to die eventually.

You have to get a vocaloid editor and buy a voice bank. I used to use piapro, but then I started using vocaloid editor 6 since it's much better.
As for the Japanese I know some japanese, as for inserting lyrics. You can either manually insert lyrics into notes or use a text box that tries to insert your lyrics into the note automatically. Beware the pronounciations aren't always accurate. Sometimes something which is supposed to be pronounced as "wa" becomes "ha". Also improper pronounciations become even more of a problem with english voicebanks so I use IPA dictionary and manually check as much of the pronounciation I can manage.
Different voice banks have different tones, but within each voicebank you can adjust the tone a lot. It depends on what you do.

As for tuning vocaloids. That's a whole different beast. I think getting right pronounciations is atleast the first priority

an example of somebody that did just that.
Back when i watched yt regularly he just talked about computes. So i was surprised when i learned that he stopped shaving and went innawoods to film self-help videos.
Its luke smith btw. Very interesting person.
