Even on my 60Mb line it buffers/stops every couple of seconds, as have all the TxK vids.

They all need downloading to play smoothly for some reason.

Edit: Or uploading to YT. 8)

You should watch the original in 60fps.

I'll likely post a few more vids, with other music tracks. The music's all so good. Not really given away much of the intensity of the upper levels yet, apart from near the end of that one there in the Halfhex web.

May do one with a v/o of me talking about the design of it, if I can make it not too wanky.

Should you mention all the Italian swearwords coming from the other room and/or those you learnt too ? :roll: :lol:

I liked how you described to Sony my "swearwords progression before to get in touch with support" :lol:

I don't call them unless I really have no other choice :lol:

[edit] Dunno if I should/could talk about this or not .. but .. one of the problems I found out about this ( and I am not the only one ) is that by paradox the Sony documentation about things is HUGE, I mean literally GBytes of PDFs and such in much detail.

But the problem is it can turn sometime into a maze of read this then go to read that then go to read that other then go to read that other doc then the note on that makes you go to ..

A few times I was 200% SURE that "sure this thing IS written somewhere" .. but it also took me more than 2 days to find out WHERE that thing was written and sometime it's not even that clear "what should I search for to know about this ?".

There is good support in the forums/things to poke around but still when you are stuck into something and "you'd like to find the answer within 20 mins" things are always a bit more complex/annoying.

For example I still have a bit of "an open question" about a certain TCR I'll have to poke Sony again about, the TCR says a thing like "don't do this IF there's no connection" the problem is that "this" is not 100% clear ( to me ) which basically turns into a simple question like "can I call this function or not when the state is X or Y ?".

The problem is in this case the documentation about the function does not explicitly say "you need state X or Y to call this" because in fact you do not need it, what happens it's simply you may get an error saying "ok this can't be done now" or such so the function says "I don't care if you call me or not, I would act correctly in all cases".

But the TCR says "I do care, I don't want you to call that and get the error" well it does not exactly say like this because if "that" would be clear there would be no question about but the question is more or less "what is that that ?".

If I don't get a reply soon I will have to open an explicit "support ticket" about this because I still don't know precisely.

It's a bit complicated.

BTW just got this about that :

Apologies for the delay, we are discussing this internally and we will get back to you soon.

See ? It's not just me a bit "confused".

that sounds complicated, i suppose there must be support people who understand some of this stuff better, though it might be so vast that it takes a team of people to understand the whole thing

My impression is "every one is very expert in his/her own piece but none totally understands well the whole thing".

Doesn't that essentially describe the modern world in a nutshell?
