That’s a font choice
The P I can see it working… But the I’s and the J… No. And they left out the D.
It just ruined my breakfast.
Won’t somebody please think of the eggs!
It’s one of the fonts of all time!
It is truly horrific.
What the fuck is that hideous font.
It’s to make you comment.

Lol ouch. I thought it would be a good idea to buy a room full of synthesizers before a new car so I’m stuck working third shift until I can get out of this hole.
Synthesize a new car then, you got the tools.
They’re the music kind not the star trek kind :( :) I can do a Cars cover song though, maybe… lol.
If they have a pitch bend wheel thing, you could make it sound like a car changing gears, chuck it on an electric skateboard and boom! new car.
This person is big brain thinking.
Nah, just stoned and poor.
Now there’s an ad hahaha, I suppose it is a bit of perspective, we’ve come a long way in terms of affordability.
Sad bleep bloop noises
Sell 2 of your synths that have keyboards with more than 39 keys. You don’t use them (be honest, we’ve all fallen victim to our own GAS) and you could use the money and space.
Specifically, sell them to me for a very good deal.
Hahaha, I’ve definitely been considering paring down a bit only because it’s a lot to keep track of at once, but I only have two synths with keyboards RN the Yamaha SY-77 and Novation BassStation 2, the rest are all desktop or rack modules. I’d love to have some more older keyboards like a Jupiter or Juno or Prophet but the price and upkeep and all that is getting a bit much.
I put a hard stop on buying synths with keyboards after I got a 61 key controller. Then I found a Grandmother for $600, so now I just look at Eurorack stuff that I can’t afford as I feed LFOs and envelopes into it from my Hydrasynth.
Good deal, Grandmothers have such a lovely sound (lol). The only Moog I ever had as a Labyrinth and that was fun, had to let it go but would pick up another at some point. Yeah I’m not exactly Keith Emerson so I don’t need a lot of keyboards either, I would like to have a nice analog polysynth keyboard though, that is the one thing I’m currently missing but I’ll probably go with a module again.
Have you considered the Dreadbox Nymphes? I don’t have one, but it’s on my list because it hits the Juno60/106 target very well while also being more flexible in terms of sound design. BYOKB, but I can see one of them sitting very well next to a digital workhorse like a Blofeld or MS2000R in a setup for when you need that analog feeling.
Yep and I really like Dreadbox as a company, they do their own thing they’re pretty underrated sound wise as well, I have an Erebus 3 and like it a lot my only problem with the Nymphes was the reported USB noise which I guess is okay if you power it normally, I would just prefer not to have USB powered synths. It is lovely sounding though, I was looking at the newer one, the Artemis as a possibility, or maybe an Oberheim TEO-5 or new Sequential Forum, or a Polyvera haha. Lots of choices now. I miss my Blofeld too, I sold it after I got the Virus TI because of overlap but it really has a great sound.
Modular synth modules, or just a bunch of different keyboards?
A little of both, don’t have a full modular system because well that’s a whole different money sink, but I have a bunch of semi modular stuff that I hook up together, a lot of desktop synths, few keyboards, rack modules, sequencers, effects pedals. I’d love to get into eurorack sometime but that time is not now haha.

I get that having analog stuff that you physically wire together, or purpose-built digital stuff with a nice interface, is “real” and tactile and fun and all, but have you considered the fact that there’s nothing you can do with that stuff that can’t be emulated with software?
IMO you should keep one MIDI controller keyboard and sell everything else until money is less tight. (And also get yourself a bicycle, BTW.)
I have considered that, I’ve been making music with computers since I was a kid starting with the Commodore 64 and the Kawasaki Synthesizers program, then to trackers on Amiga and PC (.MOD music), then to DAWs. Nowadays DAWs are just packed with so many options and there’s literally millions of plugins that I get frozen with choice rather often or just end up fucking around, not that I don’t just fuck around all the time with the hardware but it feels more satisfying. Emulation has come a long long way, as far as quality and even going to model circuit behaviour, but there is just a presence and tone of (some) hardware that is just not there yet, and still with certain types of frequency modulation you get nasty artifacts. Beyond the tactile usability and the sound quality there’s also a bit of nostalgia factor to it as well. I like old hardware, I like talking about it to people and learning new tips and tricks and sharing what I know.
If I buy it used, it means someone is willing to pay that much for a used one, it’s practically an investment!
Someone once said to budget the luxuries first.
Say that you like to eat well. If you spend money on food and eat well three times a day, you can put up with having to scrimp on clothes and transport. But if you cut your budget across the board you’re more like to find yourself blowing money because of stress.
It is great for your mental health.
When I was a student and had to hardcore budget, first was rent, second was “social Friday beer”, and only then came the food budget. Nowadays, beer wouldn’t be second, but it was the goal that reminded me why I couldn’t blow my money too quickly.
I can often justify buying nice things if it’s of high quality. I still own and use most of the nice things I’ve ever bought. What also helps is to have a relatively cheap taste. I think my 18 year old pickup truck is pretty damn nice.
Would rather be poor with nice things than poor with crappy things.
That’s why I typically save up for nicer things, or try to go to lots of flea markets and thrift stores. I have lots of unique and super fancy glassware for my bar and a nice collection of cast iron plus many more nice things without breaking the bank.
Nothing nice I buy ever stays nice for long.
it’s like I have the Midas touch but instead of everything turning to gold it just breaks.
The Mierdas Touch.
I bought my BMW 10 years ago for 20k and people still think I’m rich lol
Well you must be to maintain that thing.
Yeah dad runs a shop so i get lucky that way
🤦🏼♂️
Yeah, sounds about white.
For someone who just got a 9th car, this rings true.
For reference the total actual value of all these cars is less than 10k. 4 of them are projects. And I am always working on one or the other so I have spares.
Financially speaking S3 (a hot hatch) is a great choice that losses less in value over the years compared to most regular cars (and it’s practical, low maintenance, cheap to run).
10/10 would spontaneously key the car if I saw that font tho.
/s!! (property destruction of the poor belongs in hell)Audi S3? Low maintenance?
Lmao
I never had it personally, but what are the issues?
It’s just a Golf, the engines are fairly rugged four-cylinders (underspeced a bit even), just change the oil, tires, and brakes depending on your driving style. Just like on a normal version of the car (A3/Golf). Even the official service fees are low.
It’s one of the reason why they (and GTIs) are popular.
I put my hyperfixations on bargain hunting, antiques, and woodworking, so i don’t have any money, but I look like a real piece of shit when I say that.
I wish I could get into antiques (and bargain hunting in general tbh) but I get overwhelmed by the choice and with antiquing it’s a matter of grabbing the piece when the time is right. Lately I’m appreciating MCM particleboard and plywood look less and solid wood more - of course a solid wood MCM piece is still nice, its just that a lot isn’t. It’s challenging because for a lot of things I can go online and say these three objects are the leaders in their field; one is too heavy, two is too expensive, and three is a good balance for my needs; I’ll get #3. But with antiques there’s a ton of local awareness that i need too. I can totally understand how this could be an adhd hyperfocus.
I also have a small home with no storage space whatsoever and no space to repair or refurbish. I’d have to stack stuff in the living space between dining table and couch.
Just paid off my sports car. Dumbest purchase of my life but it’s over! Now to buy a truck!
Ooh, which car?
Mustang! I bought one with every option I could get. It’s a beast.
oh jeez, be careful with that thing!! Must be a lot of fun though. My dad had two different mustangs when I was growing up, a '72 and some 1980s one. I don’t remember a ton about either one, but I’m confident yours has like five times as much power as both of them combined, hahaha
This is true. The new Coyote V8’s are monsters. Without any add ons. I’m very relaxed when ever I drive now. No need to speed.
As a man with 2 Audi vehicles…and ADHD….how dare you!
AudiHD
Yeah we know.
