Hey folks, another atheist joining the ranks here. I usually don't go onto forums like this one, but y'all seem like a nice enough bunch. :-D
Welcome Hijiri! Tell us something about you.
Quote from: "DunkleSeele"Welcome Hijiri! Tell us something about you.
Well for one thing, "Hijiri" is my namesake's surname, not her given name. :P
Anyway, if you want to know anything in particular you'll have to be more specific. For the most part I tend to be more of a lurker than a debater, and I try making a habit of choosing my words carefully. I have a tendency to be overly verbose when I do speak, and I'm endeavoring to break that habit.
As far as personal interests, I am a casual gamer. I like strategy games, but lean more toward the turn-based variety, and I like a good RPG now and then. I'm also a bit of a Team Fortress 2 enthusiast. I like writing and composing music, though the latter is mostly limited to MIDI builds, and the former I haven't had much time to do in many years. I have a casual interest in astronomy and sociology, and have taken some courses in both. I have also, at various times, been working on my Japanese and Mandarin so I can go teach English in those countries. (Though contrary to expectation I am not much of an anime buff.) Lastly, I've always considered myself somewhat of a history buff and have been known to plow through books on the subject in a few days whenever I lay hands on them.
Hi & welcome.
Hey, it's another Touhoufag!
Welcome, Byakuren-chan!

Oh, is that the term? I don't actually frequent any Touhou communities, so I wouldn't know! :-D
Welcome Hijiri!
I occasionally compose music as well. I'm curious, what is a MIDI build in terms of music composition? I know what MIDI is and how to use it, my first synth was one of the first Korgs that could do MIDI. And I worked as a keyboard player in the early 90's when MIDI was in its heyday. But I'm not familiar with the term MIDI build. Inquiring minds want to know.

Welcome man, you're a lucky bastard for being a lifelong atheist.

A MIDI build is when you plug a MIDI into a program like FL Studio and use it like a song sheet.

Aye, as well as katakana and a few dozen Kanji. You'll have to forgive me for not returning the favor here, I've never been able to figure out how to install language packs on Vista. (And I'm too lazy to re-open the page on my other computer. :P )

Haha nice, same here.
About the language pack, it's quite easy actually, it is already available, you just have to activate it in the control panel under language and keyboard settings. Although that's Windows 7, idk about Vista.

Yes, I know how to do it in Windows 7 (ergo, "the other computer"). That's why Vista is stupid. :P

I've had a Vista too so i know what you're going through lol
How many times have you had to reinstall Windows yet ? :rollin:
Welcome. On Vista? Managed to bypass that pain.

Oye I'm way too old I guess. I have no idea what you're talking about. By plug a MIDI into a progame, I assume you mean insert a .mid song file into some kind of DAW software. But you lost me on the using it like a song sheet part. No worries though, like I said, I'm an old guy. I'm not supposed to understand what the kids are doing these days. :wink:

None myself, but the previous owner has done it at least twice. Normally I'd just upgrade it, but I've also inherited a Windows XP computer that didn't come with most of its external hardware that I'm trying to get working first.
I mostly use my Windows 7 laptop with a second monitor for games and other multimedia, while this one just gets used for simple browsing and word processing. It's a little awkward at times because my laptop is directly in front of me while this computer's monitor is just to my right. It's also hard to keep straight which keyboard and mouse go to which computer: My laptop is in front of me, but the desktop's keyboard is in front of my laptop, and sometimes I try to bring my laptop mouse to this monitor like I do with its external one.

I'd show you what I mean, but the rules say I can't link to YouTube yet. :( However, I can tell you to search for a video called "Orchestrated - The Embodiment of Scarlet Devil" on YouTube to hear a rather long one I did. (Basically I took 17 MIDIs and made an orchestral piece with them.)

Ok I see now. Its like a remix/mashup type thing using pre-existing .mid files. Neat stuff.

Haha i knew it. Vista was kind of a failure version of 7 i think.
I currently use Windows 8. And although a lot of people think that it sucks because of all the changes, I think it's really good. The changes aren't bad, and I've never had any crashes or anything up until now.
just great. Another got-damn furriner......
welcome anyway.

You're not very observant, are you?
Hi welcome !
