flatlined
Agreed, and in my experience (Asus board) it’s functional but a bit buggy, so not an easy recommendation. Still, if you want or need team red it’s an option. Price premium sucked, but wasn’t actually noticeably more than if I’d gone team blue. Not sure I’d do it again in hindsight though. Fully functional but only 90% reliable (which is worse than it seems, in the same way a delay of “only” a second every time you do something adds up to a big annoyance) is perhaps not worth it for my use case.
This works with splitters (and you can combine cables and splitters to get there, it doesn’t need to be a single y cable with the right ends). I’d recommend against it however. Two outputs for one source is usually fine, but two sources to one output with just a y splitter can be detrimental. Depending on exact circumstances sound quality can be worse and/or it can (theoretically) damage your equipment.
For two low level sources it’s probably fine in most cases, but definitely not recommended. There are positive summing circuits that prevent this, but usually the recommendation is to use a mixer instead.
It’s a thorny issue. In the position of an indie dev/studio i get using cheap (or free) art, be it voice, textures, whatever. In a way a properly licensed ai trained voice is no different from using assets from an asset store.
On the other hand, the current crop of ai are less than fair about where they source the data, so good luck getting a morally neutral voice right now, leaving aside the legal aspect.
A big issue beyond that is how it’ll completely wreck the industry. If Alice licensed her voice for cheap, and I can get it to say whatever I need with minimal hassle why wouldn’t I use that over paying more for a voice actor, where I have to wait on them to actually record and rerecord her lines? I’d be paying more for slower results and more work.
Then you realize this is true not just for me but for most groups needing voice lines. This means that even if an individual voice seems ethically sound, considering the wider context and impact on other voice actors it becomes far less simple.
This is a genuine exception. Surprisingly low bullshit for anything gaming related (i suppose being industry oriented helps a little), and fairly interesting stuff covered. This article is a good one, imo.
Despite the title it’s (as should be expected from being with one foot in the industry) not a how to guide to get the latest fitgirl repack or whatever, but an article about who gets targeted for piracy and who doesn’t even while massively profiting (Amazon, for one).
Probably. I’m voting for them (not Timmermans himself, but no. 17 on the party’s list as a way to signal I’m less than thrilled with how NL responded to Israel), but am doubtful we’ll finally get a government I’m mostly content with. It’s been since the pre Balkenende days (which goes back to the turn of the century).
We’ve had a couple times CDA (Christian party) followed by a really long time under VVD (right wing, led by Rutte), with left being mostly of secondary importance.
As of now there’s too many parties polling high, old and new, to really make a good educated guess. VVD, PVV (right-wing, anti islam) and NSC (a new party led by a former CDA member) are all big enough to keep a close eye on.
For someone on the left none of these engender any sort of hope for the country. All would like to close off the borders, none really productively deal with the gap between rich and poor, none really deal with the climate catastrophe.
The (also new) party after these guys is the BBB, which literally is a party of angry farmers that don’t want to get their livelihood impacted by climate reductions. Understandable from their perspective, but even worse climate wise. Their foreign policy isn’t that much better.
Both worked for me, though not in combination. In isolation haven’t had a major issue that wasn’t fairly quickly solved with an update with either of them. Explorer patcher has been slightly buggier between the two, but not by too much.
Ymmv of course, as is the decision whether having the bar how/where you want us worth the trouble.
Most have already been mentioned. Rock paper shotgun is a good source too, albeit pc gamers only.
