Check out Raspberry Pi. Set up a streaming server, NAS, cloud storage. If you're interested in media, make an installation. There's tons of great projects available and I believe the best way to learn anything is by making something real, not just practicing random commands. Since it's Linux based, you'll learn a lot of practical uses of Linux and the power of being able to script Bash files.

Hope it helps.

Nice, they've been dropping some solid games lately. So sad I missed Death Stranding though!

nice, thanks for sharing that

Embarrassingly I had “hide read posts” checked in settings. Thanks for the help everyone! It helped me find the issue knowing they were still there and that it was a settings issue.

😂

I’m also interested.

I read “Ethnomusicology: A Very Short Introduction” by Timothy Rice and I think its worth checking out, though it is indeed short. I would love to find more stuff to read.

Great initiative! 👏 Thanks for sharing.

I love Max! I've spent a lot of years working with it and I teach private lessons.

I think the best place to learn more is really to cover all the tutorials inside the Max documentation and then start tearing apart Max for Live devices from maxforlive.com. Personally, I tend to use Max just in Max for Live these days as that is it's strength imo. I noticed with DSP the CPU goes quickly through the roof so I usually stick to creating precise, and focused devices centered around generative music processes.

@chappIO Javascript is pretty well supported, including for UI, but I have noticed issues when things are timing sensitive as the code is slow to execute. Here's some old examples I have kicking around on my github if you're looking for quick reference: https://github.com/michaelgarydean/max-library/tree/master/Javascript

Yeah I'm curious what it turns out like!

I've had a lot of fun playing Descenders. It's not usually my type of game but the way that the levels are constantly changing, but not so much that's it's completely different, is really cool to me! and keeps it interesting and challenging.
