Sea of Thieves - "Stitcher's Sorrow" (Styli's Lamentful Remix)
Now in 6:8 and with sampled vocals. Everything else sequenced in FLStudio. Had a bit of fun with the video editing as well.

Despite being sick (stomach bug), I had a decent couple of days sailing for Sea of Thieves' Community Weekend. I'm glad they added the CoFs to the Questboard, because it gave me something low-effort to do that felt rewarding enough. I did 8 hours of that yesterday and got 9 CoFs.

Well, then... Maybe I'm not the only one?

It's neat, but I really hope Bluesky finds a way to make the streaming status thing automatic. Would be nice if I could just connect my Twitch and have it update automatically... like Discord does.
Still, it's better than anything that the hellsite is doing right now.

If you're tired reading the news every day, just know that that is the point.
The pumpkin king and his cronies are doing shock and awe tactics. Flood the news cycle with so much noise that people get overwhelmed, fatigued, de-sensitised, and apathetic.

Really good thinkpiece on AI music and what it means for real artists. This is about music but could apply to any artistic endeavour.
"AI art is not window, it's just a mirror" kind of sums it up. GenAI cannot be creative, it can only regurgitate what already exists.

In an entirely predictable outcome for the Support A Streamer promo, the Sea of Thieves Twitch category is full of Badge and Drop Farmer channels 🫠
(FYI Drop Farming without showing gameplay is against Twitch TOS, so be sure to report those)

I guess it's that time for my Game of the Year...
Well, surprising no-one, it's Clair Obscur: Expedition 33... It's actually probably the best game of the last decade.
Runner ups: Blue Prince, Dispatch, and The Alters are all excellent.
Also, Lightyear Frontier, but that's in Early Access still.

Kudos where it's due... this is actually a very fun trailer. Well played, Rare.
Among volatile volcanoes and searing seas, fierce Ancient foes are reborn, ready to spread dread once more! In their grasp they hold keys leading to vast treasures, but perhaps something worse still... Dare you face them in Season 18: Return to the Devil's Roar!? www.youtube.com/watch?v=iN6N...

I'm so fucking exhausted with AI... stealing creations, damaging the environment, pushing up energy prices, and now increasing PC component prices... all for what? Shitty "art"? Wrong answers? A generally worse experience with most things? So trillionaires can play their stupid leaderboard? *ding* 😫

A quick audio tip for streamers, because I hear this a lot where stream levels are super conservative/very low.
The "red" on OBS meters kicks in at -9dBfs. As long as you stick a peak limiter on (say at -3dBfs) you don't need to be too worried about going into the red by a bit...

If you, or any streamers you know, use StreamElements as a mod-level chatbot, you may want to have a look at this and take action to secure your channel.
The fact that this is exploiting "intended behaviour" that's exclusive to SE Chatbot is scary. Hopefully StreamElements patch this soon.

I'll never play it because of its use of GenAI but I'm tickled by the debate over PvPvE that's going on around Arc Raiders... Something Sea of Thieves players have discussed for years.
My own view has always been that, while I focus on PvE mainly, PvP is an important element of the experience...

Kind of depressing to see so many SoT streamers sell out to promote the "enhanced" audio, when it's clear by listening to their game audio how awful it is.
On the plus side, I guess it is giving people a listen to it before they waste their money on it.

Well... If you're an actual audiophile, this is one to skip.
This screenshot shows the difference between having this feature on (left, white background) and turned off (standard audio, right, highlighted in blue). If you look at the peaks, you can see the "enhanced" audio is limiting the peaks...

I'll reserve final judgement until I get time to test it this weekend, but I'm not optimistic for the audio *quality* based on previous experience with this tech.
It's a pity for the marketing that SoT already has excellent stereo audio, and that a good pair of headphones is really all you need.
