not much use in not using mp3, when the files themselves are mp3 in the game

No, no, no. You must convert them to DSD512 to fully enjoy them.

If you want true high quality, you need to first convert them to 48bit 96Hz wav files, and then have them etched onto vinyl because analog isn't lossy like digital is, even without compression.

That's why I blow up any jpegs I want to save on a projector onto a 5m screen and trace them to get better than original quality. Come visit my museum if you'd like to check out some sweet memes (because I refuse to ruin my effort by re-digitizing them).

Anyone know any good resources for giant scroll management?

All well and good until Bethesda hear about your museum of ancient scrolls…

I still can't believe Bethesda successfully sued for legal ownership of a fucking literature format

It's not as bad as Nintendo successfully suing for ownership of balls with things in them, but still some hot bullshit

Mojang themselves came forward with an explanation.

Supposedly career lawyers will just jump ship and contest literally anything that might have even a chance of sticking. Regardless on wether they actually want to go to court, there is basically zero downsides to making legal threats and those lawyers feel like they are paid for doing exactly that.

Mojang contacted Bethesda and they settled the matter through a counter strike game.

Personally i believe mojang did the math and saw that regardless of any outcome this was an opportunity for free publicity for the new game.

I fully agree such claim are ridiculous and actually intellectual property is one step away from thought police but in this specific scenario there was no victim, damage or harm.

lol these companies are truly insane. they are basically trying to strangle any seed of innovation remotely related (very very remotely) to theirs out of fear of competition.

8 track or GTFO

They are usually ogg in game, if not some sort of proprietary midi format.

Depends on the age, AoE1 had a lot of .wav

[–] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 14 points 1 week ago

Actually, forget the flacjack. And the torrents. Ah, forget the whole thing.

What a leech. At least anon is repenting.

[–] ChicoSuave@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago

Sounds like anon was a collector and not an audiophile

[–] RedSnt 5 points 1 week ago

Anon could've just joined the discord. Using the waybackmachine I found this discord invite link: https://discord.gg/vZ4ktxt
