unlike every other ogg-container codec

I think youtube uses ogg opus on some platforms so that's probably like a 10th of internet traffic right there.

Don't you just hate when you wind up in a store with people who are in a socioeconomic class that is pretty obviously about two levels lower than your own?

people don’t realize just how much large game audio was ogg vorbis

not really any more but it was a big deal for a while because unlike every other reasonable video and audio codec you could just use it

plus they just made cabling less of a pain in the rear end for the few years they were in vogue before sata became widespread

Sata felt like such a massive leap just because of getting rid of those old rear end ribbon cables.

just remembered i contributed like 50 BFIs to the SiN Graƒix icon pack 1999-2001 & they kept them for years. i was pretty proud of that lol

hotline user icons were client-side & you just chose one in the client from the settings, but there was also a debug menu where you could set your icon to an arbitrary resource id, which you could supply via a rsrc file in the app folder. everyone who used the same icon pack would see your sweet icon, everyone would just see your username without an icon. i remember SiN had a popular icon pack.

anyway, they were normally standard 16x16 icns resources shown to the left of your username, but someone figured out that since theyre centered, you could make them super wide (iirc 218 px) with the left side transparent & that way you'd get a background under your username. those were called Big loving Icons, very badass

i made a bunch based on tracks from selected ambient works II, a book of lenin portraits that my dad has, and ofc an edgy personal icon

unfortunately, ive lost those icon packs since and theyre super hard to find so pls contant if u have them

raid-0 boot drives
doing that thing where you only write to some part of a disk because the rotational velocity there gives you better seeks or throughput or something

i had a 36gb raptor 10,000 rpm as my boot volume and my frames were hella high :pcgaming:

i used to be mildly obsessed with I/O performance as i saw at as a massive failing in pc architecture. but then SSDs came and i was sated

going from rounded (yes i x-acto-knifed my own flat cables to rounded ones FOR AIRFLOW) ide to sata cables wasn't nearly as jarring as my latest build, which is where i put two one-terabyte disks the size of sticks of gum, that can move 5,000 megabytes per second in to magic slots and hit the power switch and turned it on.

i had only seen nvmes in pictures and thought they were like the size of a candy bar. i knew that they used pci so assumed they stuck upright in a pci slot, 4 inches long or something. i in fact couldn't find the nvme slots on my motherboard for a couple of minutes because they were covered with heat sinks and i wasn't expecting them to be so small.
