Just came to say it amazes me how naïve Josh is about thinking someone offering liquor is not clearly attempt to roofie you to be robbed.

I am sure this has been done a million times but I missed the stream yesterday and started listening on the way to work. I made it to Suno AI - Transgender Sexoffender then had to pause to try it. It has probably been done to death overnight but this worked out almost exactly like I wanted it to. (Blame the typo on mobile touch typing)

He would've gotten me too, if I saw a black guy buying liquor, telling me that his momma just passed away I'd drink too, I'd risk getting roofie'd but I'd never break the nigga codex.

That said, I enjoyed the stream, I really like when you improvise something in the middle of reading a post :story:

I normally wouldn't bother, but since you're correcting people, it's "The Revelation of St. John", so a shortening to Revelation doesn't really work and isn't very descriptive. The Revelation is better, but Revelations is just as inaccurate as Revelation

Saw people talking about this on 4chan, apparently the bankers have gone to war with the porn game devs. Full standard CC ban on DL site, a mix between steam and GOG for Japan. Site includes both sfw and nsfw games. This is a continuation of their prepaid ban they made a few years back.

Link to company statement (will need translator)

Nigga what the fuck is a porn game?

Visual Novels, Custer's revenge style platformers, tranime waifu creators, excel spreadsheet dating sims, typically from Japan. Whenever you hear someone talking about gooning for 8 hours, chances are it's not porn porn, its some tranime HRPG. Generally poor quality. I'm imagining 50 shades of grey written by a repressed japanese guy who wants to fuck his cousin.

Why is this significantly different from other bans?

This sector lacks physical women completely, making the companies immune to the usual concern of being involved in trafficking or sexual abuse. These games can be found on a variety of other platforms, including steam.

What specifically was the reason for the ban

It appears to be due to "loli" content, at least they think, because DL site changed the tag "loli" into the Genshin Impact politically correct term "Petite".

Are there work arounds?

Yes, but it seems pretty damning. Techniques seem to involve using man in the middle services, which have their own issues. Basically the same state Null is in, IDK who pays for porn but I don't know how far they are willing to go to give money to things they could pirate.

To what degree are services affected

It seems like the entire hydra has been hit, as the major company is affect, and their services range from smut to SFW style patreon development.

Ultimate Significance

As far as I am aware this marks the first time the banking clan has deployed the nuclear option on pornagraphic material that ultimately could not be involved in sexual violence. I'm not a porn game expert, but I'm unable to see the difference between this and any of the other sister fucking games on steam.

Motive?

The easiest answer is that in the time it took me to verify that the tag "loli" was changed to "petite" I saw shit beyond my comprehension. The banking clan answer is that by removing the competition, people will have to play the uncanny valley western games that are all about furries and incest, or get pushed to the weird quasi abuse that is real porn.

Or maybe the banks are beginning operation Total Gooner Death. We will see.

I should have just said "The End", because that's all Revelation is, both the end of the Bible, and the end of the world, but then I've just created a nickname. Such is life.

tl;dr: @Null needs to upgrade his Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 to the 4th gen model if he wants his SM7B to work properly. Or learn about pro audio and buy something that'll actually work with the SM7B.

Isn't the point of the cloudlifter to be the preamp before the preamp to get his levels up? Obviously he should do an A/B comparison to make sure it's doing its thing properly.

You get a toilet to shit in but no sink to wash your hands. Your shitter sits in a fake cabinet that you must disassemble every time you want to take a shit. The top of the fake cabinet that hides your toilet is where you will do your meal prep. The only place to put your dishes, pans, and burner is inside of the fake cabinet with your toilet. You are on the 28th floor and there is no ventilation for when you cook or shit. It is $750 a month and there are 29 apartments on this one floor. You will die when a fire breaks out due to a cooking mishap on the other side of the building because fire breaks are a premium and only offered on floors 1-5. You will die happy because you splurged for the bulletproof barrier option

With the amount of soyface shill videos that pop up on YouTube when looking it up I believe that it's been overhyped by people who paired the SM7B with audio interfaces that were too weak to run it. The combo that Null has, which is Shure SM7B, Cloudlifter CL-1 and Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 seems to be shilled by absolutely every cahntent creator, and it seems to be a severe case of monkey-see-monkey-do with zero knowledge.

Tomasz Wróblewski of 0db.pl replied to a comment under his video about the 4th gen Scarlett interfaces remarking on how in his opinion the SM7B became so popular because of the lockdowns. Everyone went online, there was a big boom on home studios and content creation, and since the SM7B was an industry standard in radio stations and other professional environments, home users started buying that.

Here's the issue with all of it. In those professional environments, you have consoles and audio equipment that has more than enough power to drive the SM7B. Those are purpose built devices that pull the power directly from the mains, and it's also why the very high impedance headphones, like the Beyerdynamic DT770/990 Pro have 250ohms. They're designed for studio use, as is the Shure SM7B.

If you want to run stuff like that at home, you need audio interfaces that can supply that amount of power. The issue is that at home you're most likely going to power your things off of USB that delivers a measly 5V and 1.5A at most, since you will plug it in via USB-A. Anything above requires a USB-C connection on both ends and the right support for either multi-lane USB-C that effectively doubles the amperage, or Power Delivery, which you definitely won't have in your PC just for the audio interface.

The most popular consumer audio interface for creation is the Focusrite Scarlett range. It's not that good, for years it had a very weak headphone amp and microphone gain, as Focusrite wouldn't assume that absolutely everyone would use the SM7B, and it was more tuned to less demanding microphones, mainly for instrument recording. Most importantly, you power it off of a USB cable with that measly USB 2.0 5V and 1.5A. It's not enough to power studio grade equipment well, and really hard to give it that boost without causing problems.

The hype train told people to pair an underpowered consumer audio interface with a high grade studio microphone, and this inevitably lead to people noticing that their microphone sounds bad. The big selling point of the SM7B is that you can go all up into it, sound very bass heavy and not have any unwanted noises or effects. But you achieve that radio voice when you power it right. The Focusrite Scarlett doesn't do that. Only the newest generation released less than a year ago can do it, and they've added a second USB-C input for power to compensate for it.

So, people are having issues with this trendy setup. What's the solution? Cloudfilter CL-1 to magically boost it up to work on the underpowered audio interface. You're investing your money into an accessory that you wouldn't need if you made a more conscious decision when buying your audio interface. And correct me if I wrong, but from what I remember this type of passive boosting of a weak signal to make it reach the baseline isn't good or effective, so it might lead to issues. Null's SM7B sounds way too tinny for how it's supposed to sound, so it's possible it's a power issue. Maybe the USB port isn't supplying enough power, so the preamp doesn't have enough gain and Cloudlifter doesn't save it.

When looking up Shure SM7B's specifications I stumbled upon this video where the guy says all the right things when it comes to the sense of this combo:
The SM7B is insanely overpriced for doing shit like talking about random people on the Internet, it's been overhyped and everyone is wasting their money on it because it's the thing to buy. But the Shure SM57 exists. It's way cheaper than the SM7B. You can absolutely use it for podcasting and sound well. Every US president has been using it for their speeches ever since it first hit the market in 1965. It's younger brother, the SM58, is the microphone you think of as a kid, same thing but with that iconic silver shroud. And hey, you could get something cheaper that's USB PnP, like some of Rode's offerings, and people would be none the wiser, you'd sound amazing for a lower price with a simpler setup.

IMO there is something very wrong with Null's hardware setup. He bought into the meme consoomer audio setup of an SM7B, Focusrite Scarlett and a Cloudlifter, doesn't know how pro audio works because the people who astroturf this combo don't know how pro audio works, and this leads to issues. If it was fine on a hardware level, he should be able to talk directly into the shroud and have a radio voice without any software fuckery. With the right setup, you just sound right with the raw output from the audio interface. You shouldn't be peaking, you should have a radio sound, and you shouldn't have any background noise, and you'd have to do basically zero adjustments software side. If you're forced to do adjustments software side, you're compensating for the faults of your current hardware setup.

There is also a possibility that his overpriced meme combo of the SM7B, Focusrite Scarlett and Cloudlifter is working as intended, but Null doesn't realize that with the SM7B you have to talk directly into the top of it and not the side, which is the source of all his current audio quality and level problems. But it's possible that he'll yell at me that he's not that retarded, that all of his shit is configured properly and the issue lies somewhere else.
