63 games and only 9 got played more than twice? That math is wild to me. I've got 40 something and I figured I was bad but at least like 15 get regular table time. The part that gets me is the guy with 11 games who wins more. Knowing your stuff beats owning stuff every single time and that hurts to admit.

Man, this takes me back. I used to tune guitar amps by ear and guys with fancy oscilloscopes would give me grief about it, but half the time my ear caught stuff their gear missed because I was actually listening to the amp and not just staring at a line on a screen. Same deal here, your phone mic is basically a cheap piezo pickup and those audio apps are just counting samples between spikes. It ain't lab grade but it'll get you in the ballpark before you ever touch a screw. Funny how the cheap trick often gets you 90 percent there and the last 10 percent is just you fiddling anyway.

My buddy does something close to this with his old ink drawings. He dropped the strength even lower, around 0.25, and fed in shots where the lines were real rough and messy on purpose. The AI ended up keeping his wobble and shading habits instead of smoothing it all out. He said the weird part was it copied mistakes he usually fixes, like a little hook on his letter E, which made him laugh.

Had a chimney swift come screaming out of a flue in a house outside South Bend back in 2019 and I about went off the roof. Since then I run the rods up from the smoke shelf too, and I won't touch a stack now without a light and a mirror first.

$19 and a year of shelf space, you basically paid rent for a movie you forgot.
