A capella you say? What about the beats in the rythm section? Didnt see anybody playing that.
Also, I'm pretty sure there's some effects on the vocals, maybe noise gate and a bit of autotune.
Look up Adam Rupp on YouTube and you'll see he's a legit vocal percussionist. There's a lot of live videos where they're doing all of that stuff. It would be interesting to see a video of them when they recorded this in the studio though. Seeing what's being done in a music video isn't necessarily what's being done during studio recording.
The vocals are pure. I was watching a reaction video awhile ago and this singer/vocal coach explained how multiple people singing at different ranges can sound like there's vocal effects/autotune.
Here's another:

Everything about this is wonderful. Especially the lead singer in the middle and the long haired guy with the deep voice...Those 2 are extra wonderful 
No instruments at all. I thought there was a jaw harp, but nope. Purely a cappella. That beat boxer doing the harmonica thing is crazy!

The professional kickball is nearly over!
The next world cup is in North America but not just in 1 country. It'll be in the US, Canada, & Mexico. Is that common? Do world cups in Europe do multiple countries? I guess one of the places will be in Florida (Miami). Soccer isn't a popular sport here, but more popular than other places due to the demographics.

There are a few admins who speak Spanish. I believe Zwarrior and Cactus do. There's probably others as well.

I would like to see the real post and your answer Meow to judge for my self but I guess it will be impossible ? Your freedom of speech ends when you step over those of dont think like you, by insulting them and tinking that only you have the truth.
(this is not necessarily directly pointed towards Dakota or Meow, just a general thing I've noticed)
Not sure about the laws in Canada, France, etc., but I've seen many on various websites point to America's First Amendment when discussing freedom of speech on certain sites/platforms since the specific ones are based in the US. Someone gets their post deleted and they are quick to say "You're violating my First Amendment! What about free speech!?" but when they do that they are showing they share a common misunderstanding with many people about the First Amendment and "freedom of speech." The social media websites/platforms are private companies that can censor whatever they want. You agree to a terms of service every time you create an account on them which usually contain a long list of community guidelines. They all give a version of them saying they can delete posts or ban your account for breaking their rules or ban your account for whatever reason they want.
There is a reason why many people who try to sue websites/platforms end up just getting their lawsuit dismissed right away and rarely ever make it to trial. The First Amendment states "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances." In short, it protects against government censorship... not private.

Thanks, you too. May you not experience the lack of turkey in a shop
I'm not a huge fan on turkey so it wouldn't bother me anyway lol. I know people were talking about a possible shortage due to the bird flu that impacted chickens and turkeys, but I haven't seen a turkey shortage around here. There was a period where chicken was definitely feeling it and the stores had the "1 per customer" signs up for certain things but it's been stable for awhile.
#190 Re: Off-Topic » World War III » 2022-11-24 23:35:18
Continuing the theme of the "monkey with a grenade." Here is what The New York Times (USA) writes:
https://www.nytimes.com/2022/11/24/worl … 20conflict
It seems that most of the civilian casualties in the rocket attacks were at the hands of the Ukrainian army (like those Poles near Lublin), but the Russian rockets reach their intended targets.
I've stayed out of this thread because I don't want to get into all the debate/arguments, but I have to call you out on editorializing a news article.
Nowhere in that article does it even remotely claim "most civilian casualties in the rocket attacks were at the hands of the Ukrainian army (like those Poles near Lublin)" like you said.
This article is detailing a specific event on September 26th where a missile missed it's target and wounded 3 civilians. Quote from a resident: “Three people got wounded, they say. No dead. It hit the apartment where no one lives, and in the next one, people got hurt,” said Olga Vasylivna, a resident who lived adjacent to where the missile hit. Her account was borne out by witnesses. “We had hits in this neighborhood before. Now we are afraid of every tiny rustle.”
An American-made missile fired by Ukrainian forces wounded three civilians in eastern Ukraine in September, according to residents and debris recovered from the scene, marking a rare instance where U.S.-supplied weapons were linked to civilian casualties in the nine-month-old conflict.
The strike — from an AGM-88B High Speed Anti-Radiation Missile, which is fired from a fighter jet against ground targets like radar and air-defense systems — happened on Sept. 26 around 6 p.m. in the eastern Ukrainian city of Kramatorsk, residents said. The industrial city in Ukraine’s Donbas region has been the site of constant missile and artillery attacks since Russia invaded in February.
...
The intended target of the AGM-88 that struck the apartment building in Kramatorsk is unclear, but it is possible that it was unable to find an enemy radar and struck the apartment building after it ran out of fuel. The missile will keep flying if it misses its original target and look for other enemy radar targets.
The article technically claims Russian rockets do reach "their intended targets" but I don't think it's what you're thinking the article says.
There are no recorded instances of Ukrainian forces purposely targeting cities completely under their control, indicating that the missile was likely off-target and may have malfunctioned. Russian troops, however, have often targeted civilian infrastructure and population centers as a central and repeated tactic.
To mask their attacks on civilians, the Kremlin has often falsely attributed some such casualties to malfunctioning Ukrainian air defenses that struck residential areas instead of intercepting incoming Russian missiles and drones.

You're gonna have to wait for the admin who banned you to decide.
#193 Re: Server Ban Appeals » Unbanning request » 2022-11-22 02:01:50
Yup. The new current ban is a 1 day ban for shooting friendly vehicles.

Looks like it was a 15min ban.

Also other people even insult with "f.ck" and they get kicked or 15 mins bans at best. Why do you ban me for 1 day
Because you're a frequent flyer on the ban list which results in bonuses. Instead of miles, you are rewarded with longer bans.
#199 Re: Feedback » Feedback about the updated rules » 2022-09-10 00:10:03
The 2nd is I think admins should identify w/nick..... nothing will slow you down on the road as when you see that cop parked right there :-)
Unmarked cop cars catch the street racers..
There have been many players who play relatively normal and follow the rules when admins are on, but as soon as there's no admins... well, as a certain banned player used to say "no admin no rules"

So i saw there is some new "dragon" show goin on. Is it any good i wonder?
A few friends have said they really like it. I'll start watching it in a few weeks. I guess it was already renewed for a 2nd season.
Apparently the first episode had the most viewers for a HBO series premier of all time.. more than doubling the views of the GoT premier. The 2nd episode had even more viewers than the premier so people are definitely liking it so far!
#202 Re: Off-Topic » Gaming Chairs...? » 2022-08-29 13:26:27
Oh Sun. Who is willing to spend 400 dollars can also spend 1300 dollars. Put a little something aside every month and save. You only live once.
Hell, if it was just for game/regular use and i had to pay for it myself, I'd probably just by a non-ergo mesh chair at Staples when they go on sale. They're totally fine. But I wasn't about to sit all day working in an uncomfortable chair lol.
I felt kinda bad afterwards and was expecting an email telling me no but then I heard about how much others spent and I didn't feel bad anymore.
#203 Re: Off-Topic » Gaming Chairs...? » 2022-08-29 01:19:45
Honestly, in my opinion, "gaming chairs" are overrated and a lot of the price is just based on how cool they look. Sure, they can be super comfortable but you can often find the same level of comfiness in less expensive regular office chairs. I've sat in a couple... one was extremely comfy and the other one had like a bucket seat which I didn't like. It's all about personal taste and comfort!
I had a Serta "executive chair" I bought from a local place in 2016. I bought it without thinking about anything other than back and seat comfort because I just needed a chair and it was on sale. It was extremely comfortable. Unfortunately, the height was adjustable but didn't go as low as I wanted and the arms weren't very adjustable. It was leather and it made me sweat. Being leather, it was not very cat claw friendly -.-
My employer offered those who were working from home during COVID a budget to buy an office chair from a few local places if they needed/wanted one. So I was like hell yea! The only requirement was that it had to be ergonomic (deal with insurance company). Rant:
I narrowed it down to this Alera Etros Petite and this Herman Miller Aeron (in size A). A place nearby had Alera chairs I could "try out" but not the small one. The regular one was nice though and I know someone who has one and loves it. I ended up going with the Aeron because I sat in an Aeron gaming chair before so I was aware of the quality and also wanted something nice for myself lol. To be honest, I would have never bought the Aeron if I had to pay for it myself. It is extremely comfortable and has everything I wanted. But the Alera, in my opinion, would have been just fine for less money and I would probably have no complaints.

You're not in the banlist.

Kayaking is awesome. Yours looks like a pro kayak and I'm jealous!
It's really popular here and I think it became even more popular when COVID was doing its thing. There's a bunch of kayak tours and rental places and both tourists and non-tourists love it. I've done it quite a few times but mainly used the basic kind with no pedals or whatever and the clear ones which are not very comfortable.
I did get to use an "angler kayak" a few times. It was much easier with the pedals and it had a live well, rod holders, even a trolling motor lol.

Just got off Berlin at 6PM PST... player conquor.butcher run up score 118, next closest player was 60. No doubt he was cheating.
Just because someone has a high score does not mean they are cheating. If that is your entire reasoning behind the cheating claim, then that's just a hackusation, which is just spam.
You were the only person to claim that player was using an aimbot during that map.
