My mom got AOL back in '97.
I think I was in middle school at the time. We had a 14.4k moden and the slowest Pentium 1 PC ever.
I immediately got my kid's account warned and then banned for typing this into chat: ( . Y . ) BOOBS
It was my first emoticon ever used. My Mom yelled at me and from then on I never used a kids account again.

I picked up the Pixel 8 Pro about a month before the S24U came out. Upgraded from the Pixel 3 Pro b/c my battery was starting to puff out.
I know the Pixel fanboys will tell you why it's the best phone ever but TBH it's just okay.
It's fast, the camera is great and I'm already sucked into the google garden and didn't want be bothere signing up for shit and remembering passwords. The fingerprint sensor on the P8P kind of sucks. I sort of want to buy the S24U just to see if it's better but I don't really care about phones the way I care about computers.

I'm going through the same thing right now, but it gets worse...one of the table's cables is spliced from the red RCA to a yellow (video) one. Consequently, I'm not getting the correct L/R signals into Traktor which is causing a shit show. On top of that, I get static when I cut in analog. I need to take my tables into get serviced, but I seldom play with them as I'm totally focused on my keyboard and drum machine, so it's not really a priority. I still like to skratch and DJ, it's just 3rd on my list.
In any case, you may want to get your RCAs serviced by a professional, if one is nearby.
Yea, I knew there was noise but I didn't realize how bad it was until I hooked my Serato recently and it couldn't decipher the signal. I thought it was my needles or the control vinyl but nope, it's def the RCAs.
When I changed the RCA cables years ago I soldered them myself to the PCB. It's not too difficult of a job since you're touching the tiny tonearm wires. I just figured is I went with the RCA "hub" I wouldn't have to deal with bad cables for a third time.

I cut/soldered my own RCA cables + internal ground on my 1200's well over a decade ago, but I'm beginning to get a lot of static whenever I move them around. They need replacing again I assume.
Has anyone ever modded their 1200 with one of those RCA hubs/port? I've seen them around on the internet, they're not exactly cheap.

Scratchbox is such a unique mixer.
There are very few scratch mixers with EQ faders instead of knobs. I dare say none of them that AND s clean bottom half with wide spacing. I remember the first time seeing one of these at a session. I should have played with it when I had the chance.

Check out this AI music generator. It spit out some cool stuff but not a lot of fun in making music this way. Although I could find it useful for creating stems.
This thing is crazy good. I put in "two step ethereal grime" and got exactly what I was thinking in my head.

What mixer do you cut on? I swore you had a HAK back in the days.

This is the problem, because you are not directly connecting a turntable to phono inputs. Try connecting an output from the mixer on the right to a line level input on the mixer on the left.
STEVE FOR PRESIDENT!
Man, whenever I get on the S9 fader it makes me not want to scratch. I don't like the thick stem caps and the cut just never feels right to me. Whenever I hop on the shitty XS-8 with the inno I can just sit there and get lost in the cut.
So I guess I have to switch the selector between serato and line if I want to alternate between DVS and vinyl?

I feel like I've done this setup before but I've forgotten the best way to do it.
Basically I want to have the main setup + the mixer on the right to scratch on table 2. I plugged "record out" on mixer 2 into "phono in" on mixer one, but I'm getting a ton of noise.
The XS-8 is super old and has lots of pot static to begin with but I like the innofader. I can't tell if there's a better way to do this, my old ass RCA cables just suck?
Am I doing this wrong?

Craze at his best was hard to beat. I think his was one of the last of true analog routines before DVS and scratch nerd culture really took over. Craze also had this genuine style to him in his music, posture, and record control. I think many DJs of his time felt the need to front and put on a hard persona (both in person and in their music) but Craze just sorta went up there as himself and disses were always well placed.
As far as the routine goes, it does seem outdated now but has some clever music bits, light (but dynamic) scratching as well as some trickery (fake scratching with his back). With DVS you sort of expect the trick front and center and would be disappointed if there wasn't any in a set. It takes way more effort to create a trick on vinyl records. I think this routine would win even today but so far nobody has been able to really emulate Craze.

I've been on the road for 6 months.
I finally get back in April for good. I need to scratch.

Pretty good deal. I get 400 down (useless) and 10 up. I would rather have your service where I live.
Have you every thought of just going 5G service and cutting the cord entirely? I've been thinking about it since I'm constantly broadcasting (PDAnet) to my laptop.

What are you paying a month for that? I pay $80/month (was $55/month for 1 year but they just upped it).

Quit lying you're doing it for all the hot single moms that'll be there.

my mate jamie does some seriously amazing freehand shit - hes an OG graf writer from BITD, but mainly does pub signs in the UK these days.
have a quick look man, hes seriously sick at what he does
Those are way to nice to be at risk by the general public touching it etc. If I had those done I would put them behind glass.

The minute they class locked Overwatch I lost interest in the game. Locking down characters just makes that worse.

My 3xl constantly pisses me off. It has weird freezes, hangups, laggyness.
I think it's suffering from being older hardware now on newer software. My biggest gripe is heat. If I'm driving on the freeway and my phone is sitting in the sun it will shut down. I've been stranded before because of that.
I'm sure the 7 will feel as good as the 3 did when it came out. Hardware on these phones gets outdated quick.

Powerwash Simulator - As the name implies, you powerwash stuff. It might be someone's car, or their entire back garden. You earn money and can upgrade your stuff. This is the kind of game that requires little focus, so you could listen to a podcast while playing it. I thought it was OK. I can kinda see the appeal, but if I'm gonna listen to a podcast while gaming I'd rather cruise around Mexico in Forza Horizon 5 than play this.
Fall Guys - I only got around to trying this for the first time last night. It's a casual multiplayer game for up to 60 players, where you play a series of mini-games with a certain number of players being knocked out in each round. I found it really fun, but it's the sort of game I'd play in short bursts. It's free to play, has cross-platform play, and there are TONS of people playing it so you can matchmake into a full 60 player match in next to no time. There are paid cosmetics and season passes, but you're at no disadvantage if you don't pay for any of that stuff.
A LOT of people have been telling me about Powerwash Sim. I want it but I can't stomach a $30 game. Instead of cleaning my place and reaping actual benefits, I'll be cleaning virtual things and somehow reaping the same mental benefits.

I actually passed when it was my turn to order it. I had the opportunity to invest in a few "things" while I still had the chance but it tied up about $3000.
After seeing some reviews on the deck, I didn't realize just how big the damn thing is. I think I'd rather have a small laptop + xbox controller than try to lug this thing around.

Can some hacker out there figure out how to make this thing work with Spotify? That's all I've ever wanted.

So I had EA Play Pro for a few months and then got rid of it. I played almost every game in their spawn catalog and wasn't really feeling any of them.
Lost in Random and Biomutant were sort of on the same plane for me. I think I'm just not a big fan of 3rd person games even though LIR had the unique dice roll mechanic.
The game I had most fun playing of all? Turmoil. It's basically a game that can run on a 1990's computer and it was awesome.
