Classic

Vortex is (going to be?) open source, for what it’s worth. Still dependent on Nexus tho. We need a “Lutris for mods” with community sourced scripts

Yeah, if they were just running it locally off a GPU it would be cooler

So they were off by a factor of 2.35 (47 years is 2.35x 20 years)

Good for you! Stick to your wildly unpopular guns

It’s more than 20 years old and still widely known. What else do you call that but a classic?

I have mine set like this. Clear bass can be adjusted further down, just depends on personal taste. 400Hz is the boomy, buttery part of the range so if there’s too much boxy-ness you can turn that down judiciously. Keep in mind most musical pitch lives there too, though.

My preferences are towards a relatively flat sound so my setting reflects that

Cat litter can work wonders here

FYI, SBC-XQ should be functionally just as good as LDAC and doesn’t require nearly as much fiddling because it’s an open standard.

Makes sense, inflation and tariffs

Maybe it’s just because I’m an audio engineer so I was able to EQ them to my taste, but I love my WH-1000XM4 cans. But yeah, their studio cans are both top tier and dirt cheap. MDR-7506, they’re like $80 and generally sound like a million bucks because they’re used in basically every single recording studio as reference headphones.

Well, their TV brand is gone. Their headphones are still the top tier of consumer stuff and price-performance king for studio headphones

communist government

Socialist government, sure, but communism describes a stateless society. “Communist government” is an oxymoron.

Yes, I am that guy. Sorry ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Exactly, you get it

See, I don’t trust myself to keep track of which digit is 8 vs 16 vs 32, so I end up recalculating to double check my work even though I usually have it right the first time.

I’m sure if I practiced it more I’d have it down cold, but it’s just how my OCD brain works

Easy, I pin my pinky against my leg.

The biggest hassle with it is just remembering or constantly recalculating which combination of fingers is which number

FAESRIP is the old-school classic TSR Marvel Super Hero RPG.

For something more modern there’s always Mutants and Masterminds, which is based on the D20 system.

City of Mist is another cool one that’s also PBTA like Masks, but more mature and noir in tone.

Exactly. It’s objectively not any sillier, just made me chuckle somehow. I guess it was surprising but in the same moment I had no idea why it should surprise me, y’know?
