Dunno, I haven’t really played since the servers got shut down sometime mid March.

I feel for you, man. If it wasn't for my bike(s) and a loose training plan, i'd be going nutsocuckoo.

@pure5152 same. Levelling housecleaning up though.

@yotacowboy thanks. I should probably be doing more bag work to destress but no willpower

His "Impedance attenuation" graph is interesting - I don't recall seeing the data presented in that manner before.

IMO he gets some points docked for acknowledging Harman (semi-serious) but his testing is pretty comprehensive and if he measures a few more headphones it'll be easier to triangulate. Just irked because he changed his gear up partway through so some measurements won't be directly comparable.

I also greatly appreciate his introducing "confidence limits" to his FR because from limited personal experience it's obvious that you can introduce big changes via repositioning.

When irony and light mockery are too soft, sarcasm is like a hammer hitting a nail and sparks fly...

Aaaaaaaand there's gunpowder all over the floor.

I loved my limited experience with VCRS. I would always share my tapes with friends it was awesome.

I have a box full of VHS tapes somewhere. I have a player somewhere. I wonder if its moving parts still move...

Hope you find old gems in that box! I'm actually curious where my family's stash ended up...

And yes, that's part of the beauty of physical media (that isn't extremely sensitive to fingerprints!) haha. Obvious nostalgia filter in play, but I'm unapologetic :P

Whole album is a throwback to her earlier vibe but more ethereal/sentimental-sounding with some prolly deliberate "behind the curtains" sounds that add to the candid feel. Lo-fi pop sensibilities shine through in the production, it's very sueddu.

Lyrics are hit and miss. Some have pretty imagery but a lot reads as being written for herself. Not bad though.

Haha yes I certainly can, just glad I had an unexpected reserve of the stuff for when I randomly got really irritated by the squeaking.

Given it's the runnier sort of grease I fully expect to have to redo it, so I plan to order "better" silgrease for when the need arises soon as I'm able.

just remember - silicone grease isn't made for skin.

You mean I can't get nice, glossy skin with it? :P

Kidding, yep, took all necessary precautions cuz I don't often mess with pricey headphones haha.

Hilarious but I think this was staged. The random guy at the end dressed like Oliver gives it away. They both were playing characters at the end.

Clearly staged. I like his music and wacky music videos though, thanks for this introduction (in a roundabout way).

Oh I definitely think it was staged, just saying that as someone new to Tree I didn't know what to expect from an interview and was caught COMPLETELY off-guard, haha.

To me he's like a Joji character turned up to 12, the videos are mad and giddy; I prefer Tree's music though.

And yes roundabout seems to be my default process :))

Also I cannot unsee that one of the dudes looks very much like Colin Farrell.

It's not Great Cinema™, but it's as good popcorn fuel as any and the whole thing is pretty damn tight. I want loads of the tech they feature in this except for the transparent phones because... privacy.

Oh and the characters didn't act completely gormless which is nice.

Pardon shout into void, been trying to use percussive maintenance by banging head against school system for way too fucking long over something that shouldn't even be a problem.

Don't bother me with other books. Re-reading Gene Wolfe's entire published works in tears before reading his last novel.

Hah, sorry, dweebed out a bit. All the best!

I will read it at some point. Just still can't believe gene wolfe is gone.

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.
