  • I’m using all the default launch options for Steam and Battle.net (through Faugus Launcher), the only thing I’ve touched is Window Rules.

    I was wrong when I said it worked for me - I forgot I still had Window Rules set for Terraria (the game that made me make this post). I just tried with BG3 and was unable to replicate it. Here is what I did, am I trying correctly?:

    1. Set game to Borderless Window and disable VSync (tried it On as well, no change)

    2. Alt+tab to other window. Meta+scroll up a bunch of times

    3. Alt+tab to game. Meta+down once

    I’m not gonna dig out the hard drive to prove this so believe it or don’t but we called it the luxo ball in my first year motions graphics class. It was the demo project to teach us about textures, lighting, and basic animation using the ball

    The ball is often called Luxo Ball

    The Pixar Ball (also known as the Luxo Ball) is a yellow ball with a blue stripe and red star that first appeared in the Luxo Jr. short as a prop for Luxo Jr. Since its debut, it has made numerous cameos in other Pixar films, most notably in the Toy Story films.


  • Kind of. Mostly. I “hear” it in my head and it’s very clearly not an external aound. And it doesn’t…make sound. My completely unscientific explanation is that the part of my brain that is supposed to visualize stuff is repurposed. It’s like synaesthesia, I FEEL the sound waves. But it’s not at all similar to how music can elicit emotions.

    I was moreso alluding to breaking the song apart into separate instruments in my head in the same way one might be able to think of a person and focus on, say, their eyes alone. This isn’t super accurate but if I had to compare it to something visual, picture it like a project file for a song. Every single instrument has its own track and mix and mute as needed…that only explains the melody and rhythm, I “feel” the tone, too, but I can’t think of how to describe it.

    It’s like an speaker in ferrofluid. The tracks have a “shape” for its tone that changes. I feel crazy trying to explain this lol
