Between this and retconning stuff in Words of Radiance I'm beginning to develop continuity nervosa. Eh, cheaper than interconnects unless we're talking beautiful, limited-run prints.

The shots have style and the acting is pretty good for spoken roles. Bit of comedy, but mostly fist pumping awesomeness.

Warning though, topic involved something very serious that actually happens (children being abducted for organs), so avoid if squeamish.

Thanks, R! Picked it because I caught myself humming it and that's as good enough a reason for me, haha.

I'm sorry to hear, as absurd as this virus is it feels like it should have been long dealt with if people were more conscientious. Luck and health to you and yours!

Take care. Stock up on ginger and peppers. Keep your air ways clean.

Peppers are awesome, and I've recently gotten into snacking on crystallised ginger— refreshing taste! But yes all that aside I have honestly not left the house since early March (no reason to and can deal with school stuff from here) which, while reducing risk of infection, contributes to the topic of the music vid in original post :))

This looks cool! Will be checking out in a bit, thanks for sharing, haha. Yeah on first listen Pneuma was probably my immediate fave, there are apparently loads who agree.

The physical CD has a shorter tracklist/run-time. Shorter listen, more coherent. The track "Fear Inoculum" is a serious grower. Their last album has a Kyuss-vibe/desert Rock-vibe to it. Very rewarding album.

Guess I'm happy that I'm on digital releases for now because... okay I was tempted to make a joke about growers but will abstain for the sake of the 9 year olds around ;)

Only have two full listens under my belt but I'm kinda kicking myself for not checking it out sooner. The constant profile posts last year were too effective a deterrent, haha.

Nope, lent to a friend in... Feb? Just now had it delivered back. I love the pads myself after they broke in but agree that they should make aftermarket easier, might wear out.

I only ever really played with front filters on them but would love to mess with the rear side too. I'm sure something can be done to tame the treble or bring forward the mids. Drivers seemed quite capable.

Same, don't want to mess with rear stuff cuz worried about irreversible changes in case screw em up. The treble is just tolerable at my usual volumes but these would be perfect for me if didn't need that one EQ tick for louder since I like how the midrange is coloured.

Just did a few minutes ago! I haven't read the manhwa since it was just getting attention YEARS ago but know I stopped well before where this was. Motherfucking crapsacks the ending what.

@Lasollor haven't seen Goodnight yet I think, but it could just be information overload from watching way too many haha.

Also really like VHS (2012) if not seen yet. Or heck, loads of good indie horror on YouTube! I am a massive fan of Crypt TV, really nice vignettes and costumes.

Where are you located? Here in Maryland the Quarantine ended awhile ago and we are in Phase 2 of our reopening of stuff (indoor/outdoor seating for restaurants, malls reopen)

@dncnexus It's on my profile, a city within the Manila, Philippines region. Rather overcrowded with some half-assed measures in place that on at least one occasion resulted in a woman dying for the stupidest reason (https://edition.cnn.com/2020/06/12/asia/philippines-stranded-worker-death-intl-hnk-scli/index.html). Rather messy.

@Lyander "I do have a very cheap 1 dollar 3.5mm to RCA thing I could use, haha."

Somewhere, I have one of those HiFiMeDIY boxes. More than $1, but not much more than $10. It was ok.

@FallingObjects quick Google check says Cirrus Logic CS47L93, and yes it could well be the implementation thereof considering I'm on the gimped Exynos variant, haha. Funnily saw a WhatHiFi saying the timing on the phone sucks while looking this up, but I'm only now noticing it with the Senns: https://www.whathifi.com/samsung/galaxy-s9/review

@DigMe no :P

@Thad E Ginathom haha, sounds like a fun project for when I can actually get stuff delivered, if only to the nearby post. Numbers of COVID cases still on the rise so that's pleasant (sarcasm).

Pretty sure that's deliberate. The Philippines is supposed to be the social media capital of the world so if doesn't surprise me that there are those who leverage those "skills". Of anything this is one field we're pretty savvy in so fair warning to other countries, these might be adopted eventually haha.

If there are 9 of you and they're a source of income for the fakers, you should sue for royalties ;)

Good news, dude! Any time you say something stupid online you can just blame it on the dupes.

Thanks very much for the tip. I listened to and enjoyed RTJ4 and told others. Good music is one of the few consolations of troubling times. Sadly for many the trouble is nothing new.

FOMO is not FOTM! But yeah, as highly regarded as the current version is, news of an eventual update and the pandemic screwing finances over give me pause, haha.

Doh! I'm too old for all these Interwebz acronymz >_<

@gixxerwimp big yikes, why u highkey spilling tea on how yeeted you are on trends. I am shooketh.

Haven't seen this one yet, checking it out in a bit. Thanks!

I just found out that these retailed for USD4000 back in the early 2000s, which is well into WTF territory. Well then.

Also, in retrospect, kinda sad to see how much information can get lost online.

If someone succeeds with a massive global scale malware attack several magnitudes greater than the extent of wannacry then we could lose a lot of history much more important than headphone discussions. I suspect that many future archeologists will be digital excavators.

That's contingent on a lot of things going wrong altogether, but point taken, there's more to be lost than audio gear curiosities. Still the sentiment remains that for as much as the world relies on this interconnectedness, it's a very fragile thing.

Samyang's what? I thought they made lenses!

Do you mean the red or the black version? They are both spicy but one can literally drive the snot out of your nose. Still good noodles though...

Samyang noodles. OK, I didn't know. Obviously!

I do admit preferring the original so far, but hey it's for a good cause hah.

... so I can't complain.

On that note I might then be battling @Thad E Ginathom for elbow room in mid-fi purgatorio :P

I have a guy who is an assistant building manager at the local university. I call him first on just about everything, and then he hires the local plumber/electrician/carpenter (if he can't do it himself) - usually one of his friends.

I pay him significantly - I could get most things done for 1/3, maybe 1/2 as much if I hired random guy based on price. BUT...my guy gets it done, right, the first time, so that is what I am really paying for.

Hah, smart move! Not much in the way of good help hereabouts in my specific area I think, at least affordable, but maybe need to be less timid about spending.

Always fancied myself as a top but okay.

Hah! Kidding aside I knew nothing about audio when I got this so it meant nothing to me at the time, but it seems bottom-firing is generally dirtier sounding but more effective at getting "rumble".

So I think they're generally more for home theatre and club applications than proper hi-fi. Still, I suppose I could always flip it on its side and face the woofer towards me, haha.

It gets worse!

Gimme 20 years to save up, if any samples survive to then, haha.

Saw a mint looking HE90 + HEV90 set for sale here in Sweden, for just about $11k. And Sony MDR-R10 for $8700.

..... still way out of reach for me but speaking relativistically those seem like kind prices for collectible items.

Fiction or nonfiction? I have been sitting on my masters thesis for 2 years. I no longer care about the institution but I would like to think if I completed it 1.5 persons would read it and the .5 would find it useful ;)
