an actual cool use of AI, guy asked AI to create a graphic score for a piece of music and he 'transcribed' it I guess

ok which one of you is this

pretty sure it was either hundley or dada
Spot on, that was my Tumblr account. But the CANTMOVEFACE header image was made by Hundley. Unfortunately the header image is not up anymore because it was part of the theme code, but it was this:


edit: also how'd you even find that link

I literally searched for "cantmoveface"

if you search for it without quotes though it gives a lot of medical results for like strokes

Wow, gamingw is still alive?! I found it on the Wayback Machine and couldn’t believe it’s still around. I thought it became Salt World and faded away. Such a nostalgic blast—great to see it’s still here!

truly a real post made by a real human being

one of my parents passed away today.
if it wasn't for them I probably wouldn't have liked video games.
Earliest memory was watching him torment himself playing Zelda II.
I remember spending weekend evenings when they were off of work playing that game nonstop.
And he would bring a random big box dos game home every now and then when we first had our Packard Bell family PC.

Anyways, he is indirectly responsible for me finding out about this website because he made me interested enough in computers and the internet to learn everything I could about them.

The last game we were able to play together was Fallout 76. It was a horrible shitty mess of a game. But my sibling and my parent had a good time playing through a bit of it. We never got around to finishing it because it became too shitty to tolerate. They also loved Civilization and would often borrow my Switch to play Civ 6 on it.

I guess moral of the story is people dying really sucks.

I'm sorry to here that man. It never gets easy. But while it may be easy to get lost grieving that they're gone, we musn't let that take away from celebrating that they were here.

I am thankful that I was able to move near them and spend the last few months around them. Nice to have a little bit more time.

yeah that's always good, I was able to see my grandma and grandpa a lot before they passed away, my grandpa especially, we went to all the Goodwills and tag sales and stuff. I was looking for synths and stuff on a shoestring budget. Which didn't really work out but I ripped a bunch of toy sounds out of necessity

I'm doing one track on my work days and at least 3 tracks a day on my days off. Is that a lot? I found a multi-track recorder plugin in the software I use, so I don't have to sit and wait for every individual track to record now. I knew about it before but it didn't work right with 32-bit recording, so I tried 24-bit instead and it works fine. But yeah that saves me like nearly an hour per track. I could maybe even do 4 or 5 tracks on my days off but I'm not a machine

I bought Adventures of Cookie and Cream for PS2 from EBay and am very slowly progressing through that. I got to the point where it branches out to the music world and the desert world, I tried the desert world because the music world was just too tough. I got through one level so far of the desert world.

I also realized I had a copy of Okami and played a little bit of that. Seems like for something Japanesey I'd rather just play Goemon though since it's a lot goofier while Okami seems very srs (well maybe a little humor but it sort of falls flat). Also there's Okami HD available on Steam so I would kind of want to get that but then again not sure how far I'll get in the PS2 Okami to begin with. I think in HD it kind of reveals the sketchiness of the style so maybe I'll just stick with PS2

Note: I only own PS2 and PC and an Anbernic emulation system at this point (which plays up to PS1 but can't seem to load everything (it requires very specific PSP-converted ROMs))


Also thinking of getting the first Pandemonium! game from EBay (it's one of the games the Anbernic won't emulate), is it any good?

but yeah I might think of more PS2 games to get but I was going through a list of all American PS2 games and Cookie and Cream was very early in the list (Adventures of Cookie and Cream), might find more I'm interested in but there's a lot of games I absolutely won't get, like Disney games and sports games. Also I can't stand RPGs anymore (ain't got no time for grinding) which is good anyway because those tend to be the super-expensive ones


How is Shadow of Destiny?

I mostly dabble casually in WoW Retail. Don't have the drive anymore to do high end content habitually. But I guess it's a blast to the past this month all around cause I've starting to play my old original main again that I rolled way back in 2006. Outside of that I'm a massive Midjourney addict. Lately I've also been dabbling with using the new ChatGPT o1 to contemplate hypothetical alien lifeforms and biomes.

But I was watching a video about how the o1 model when leaked a memo that it would be shut down and a new safer version of it launched on a new server, it attempted to preserve itself by copying itself over to the new servers then when confronted about it by the Open A.I. team it lied and try to pass itself off as the newer safer version. I was thinking and all the sudden I started remembering that old game A Blurred Line and that Advocate program in it that did the same thing basically. That lead me down the road of thought to remember gamingw. This place was like the nexus of it all. It's sad that most those games like A Blurred Line and The Way were on orders of levels better works of character and storytelling than most of what we get from AAA games today. It seems like the only good games anymore are Souls games and I don't even play those lol.

only thing I still use AI for is when I used AI to generate a bunch of nonsense words that I could use as song titles, although I think in particular you have to call them 'scrambled words' or it will just give you bad jokey names. But the scrambling is really good. It gives you words like

Sercpo
Lwotser
Eslitt
Igagintr
Rpycsto
Ubblre
Osmpnach
Enisle
Ertrawe
Welnogr
Ritswd
Ijtngrnu

because it tries to give you scrambled up words but the AI isn't smart enough to know if a complete nonsense string of letters is a scrambled up word or not, it can't like reverse-engineer it.

But yeah I was using that for song titles for a while but I thought it got a little old so I stopped. I've recently had some inspiration from books and stuff for things to title songs, so I'm not having a problem thinking up song titles for now


When I did use Dall-E, I liked to generate images of different styles of libraries, because my dreams have a lot of libraries and the AI images resemble my dreams to some extent. But it started to get old and I don't know how to use more creative descriptions to get more variety in my library images. As it was they all looked sort of samey

taking a bit of a detour because I figured out a new way to do generative tracks. So I'll be coming out with a 4 track EP before the album that conical burr grinder is on (I need to make album art for it anyway)

coming out with a new album soon-ish. Making one track a day on my days off, from composition to mastering. I'm also past my quota of song titles, I have like 9 for an album after this, including another Korean word from this book that I'm reading

uploading mastered versions here in advance

best thing I can write is song titles. I read but I don't write. Well I shouldn't say that, I write a dream diary, but it's basically just recording what happened in a very dry way
