PIZZA.BAT posted:the hd noise from my rig was starting to bug me so when a bunch of 870s went on sale i stocked up and transferred everything. now the only sound my rig makes is the fans which i plan on switching over to liquid eventually at least one of the hdd stack is from exactly that. I'm not gonna go down the water cooling rabbit hole though.

Fart Sandwiches posted:no-cd cracks. in college I bought hit man 2 (original obv), installed the no cd crack, re-shrink wrapped the box at the suncoast a friend worked at, carefully reapplied the original price sticker, and returned it. I figured out that you could buy their preorders which came with bonus reward points then return the game and keep the points. I also often managed to actually finish the game inside the 7 day return window on account of being a teen with nothing better to do.

Volmarias posted:I was actually pretty stoked for the parahelia (iirc), since they were working with a game company making what would eventually become Nexus: The Jupiter Incident. Unfortunately, that game basically got cancelled then uncanceled then delayed and I just didn't feel like it was worth it to have multiple monitors just to have multiple monitors at that point, since I didn't understand the value of having multiple monitors yet. pretty sure I got that game through  and it was a perfectly ok space strategy with dreadful plot and cutscenes attached

KozmoNaut posted:Gold plated TOSLINK cables. idk know why it reminds me but I find it bizarre that some Bluetooth audio connections treat the source volume and amp volume as separate so you can change the volume independently in two places even though the actually signal amplitude is irrelevant

idk if I imagined this or maybe even posted it before, but when the best way of listening to 'high quality' streaming music was youtube. I actually think though that most modern music videos released via youtube do actually have decent, if not genuinely good, audio quality.
