So, I was kind of correct... but also not quite correct enough!

Interesting that the screen has such an aggressive curve, but the scanlines and text box are relatively straight.

It's always gonna be vanilla ring or pretzel for me, no exceptions

I can handle shitty graphics, it's the framerates that really mess with me.

I sometimes forget that some games on Switch cap at 30fps. Jumping from a 165hz display running 165fps to a 60hz display running 30fps is... a bit jarring.

Where do all the logos of this style come from? They all look so same-y and bland. I've seen octopi, sharks, lions, eagles, bears, etc. all in this generic youtube gamer font, with bottom-of-the-barrel 'mascot' designs. Anyone else tired of this?

Ah yes, the solution is to give a few students in each poorly-funded school district the opportunity to go to a well-funded private school instead of just funding the public schools.

The charter school grift is evolving.

What kind of infographic is that? Convection in large bodies of water? I'm not familiar :(

As a teenager, my parents would only let me have a PC if it was situated outside of my room, so naturally, I put my setup in my basement. I was excited to play games in the coolest (temp-wise) room in the house, up until the day a camel cricket decided to jump up my pants and continue to work its way up until I smashed it against myself.

Yuck.

I like to imagine that the childbots are made in the image of the parentbots, and the childbots eventually are tasked with picking out preferred larger parts as a growing rite.

I mean I get things like "frustrated -> take a walk" because that does help me, but I don't really have the luxury to just sleep because I'm tired...

I cast: instant brazilian waxing!

 

I made a DIY cable for my Sundaras and they turned out fine, but next time I want to try for thinner cables, with four braided cores instead of two thick dual-core wires. On top of this, I plan to apply that knowledge towards IEM cables too.

Any tips, advice, and/or resources for learning? I understand the general premise, but could use input on things like where to source y-splitters, what kind of cables aren't snake oil, how to pull off an 8-strand braid as easily as they do in the youtube tutorials... etc.

EDIT: Also! I was looking at 2.5mm balanced cable schematics, and essentially each side of the cable should have independent ground, populating each TRRS contacts correspondingly? Hopefully I'm not far off
