    I usually don't even get paid, he "forgets." Then I remind him a few weeks later and he pays me much less than I should have been getting.

    Ugh. Apparently he's mad that I wear headphones too(Speakers are too old to work on my CPU)
    Just had this conversation.
    Dad: This gets in the way every time we try to do something fun.
    Me: That I can't magically hear you through noise cancelling headphones while listening to music?
    Dad: Well, you won't have that problem for a while.
    I probably didn't help by being sarcastic, but he's being ridiculous.

    I can assure you that your speakers are not too old to work on your CPU. Unless you are trying to directly attach them to the CPU die or something, in which case that is very much future tech.

    He didn't help at by being sarcastic, but I just wish you could see logic
    we tried for hours to get it set up. The speakers are irrelevant anyways, the point is my dad is being ridiculous.

    The most frustrating part: it's 2 weeks before high school starts, and I said,"It's 2 weeks before my free time is pretty much zero(taking full honors courses), can I just do what I want until then?"
    He said yes, then a few hours later took my keyboard and mouse. Thanks for that, dad.

    What kinda BS is this, anything after 64% volume level and the little amp in another MSI laptop does the same thing as mine, starts clipping, 440Hz sine wave first pic is at 66% and second is at 100% granted they seem to have implemented some sort of soft clipping technique, but still, from a laptop that cost's over 1K I'd expect much more, my ThinkPad certainly doesn't do this. Wonder how many other manufacturers are guilty of this. For those unfamiliar, a perfect sinewave should have perfectly rounded tops and bottoms, not flat or wierd like this...

    An example of the Swing Time City style, probably from the top of a skyscraper, like around here:

    upload_2017-8-26_19-24-58.png

    The trumpets were taken from Fassad in Mother 3. I want to add more busy-looking trumpet/trombone tubing and valves to the walls (my idea was to have those hanging from buildings like vines). Constructive criticism is welcome.

    Stardust Speedway was one of the inspirations, actually. The idea is to make it appear as if the city is actually producing its own background music. Imagine an entire city of brass, trumpets, valves, keyboards, tubes and garish neon lights, and listen to this:

    Of all the places I expected to be today, literally the top of a mountain was not one of them. And yet here I am...

    Just under 1,500m (2,400ft), but the first 1,000 are paved road. I almost killed a cyclist on the way up, which is always how you want your day to go.

    Nice. I particularly enjoy climbing Mount Monadnock:

    You climb about 2000ft up bare rocks. It's a lot of fun!

    Yes. I believe he's aiming to make it an SUV like the Blazer and Bronco.

    It isn't going to be a massive project in the first place and I made it because I had nothing else to do.

    I made a mockup of it a few weeks (maybe months) ago with Blender and Photoshop which both looked worse than this.
