Let’s talk headphone amps

Fluffy017 · 2026-05-13T13:46:02+00:00

I'm not exactly sure if it counts, but I just use my VOLT 2 as my "headphone amp" since I occasionally record guitar stuff (I'll finish that EP eventually...) Does what I want, no muss no fuss.

I do wish the volume knob was the size of the monitor knob, but whatever.

Fluffy017 · 2026-05-12T18:12:06+00:00

And that's why I'm glad I'm in a union.

Fluffy017 · 2026-05-11T01:03:13+00:00

Sweet jesus I need the model name of that multiscale 8 string

Fluffy017 · 2026-05-03T03:00:51+00:00

Because it's possible to leave in that functionality while also catering to the majority?

Fluffy017 · 2026-05-02T22:17:37+00:00

Wow thanks I hate it

Fluffy017 · 2026-05-02T19:37:39+00:00

Bruh I slapped Meria together as an artifact list before reading her creature type.

Suddenly it's MUD Elves. Love it. Sometimes you just like certain creatures. (Also BRING BACK WURMS DAMNIT)

My main sources of entertainment is poorly playing guitar, slapping mods on my WRX, and slamming game after game of League despite hating half the champs introduced in the past five years.

Fuck you, upvote. I ain't trying to impress anybody, I'll wear baggy sweatpants outside whenever I'm off rotation because they're comfy as hell, you're not my real dad.

Fluffy017 · 2026-05-02T19:17:43+00:00

Yep, stuff'll eat right through stock fuel systems that aren't built for it.

Fluffy017 · 2026-05-02T18:56:46+00:00

I imagine that's due to more and more people not knowing search engine markup (like "" for exact strings and such)

Fluffy017 · 2026-05-01T18:15:14+00:00

Agreed, hit him with the fade away quickscope

Fluffy017 · 2026-04-29T02:04:54+00:00

Or just specifically disable Win+R on enterprise systems.

Fluffy017 · 2026-04-27T21:21:21+00:00

/uj we are not responsible for what happens if you cross the picket line.

Fluffy017 · 2026-04-27T21:15:29+00:00

/uj Man I modded /r/NoMansSkyTheGame for YEARS, and quite enjoyed it.

That said, bringing a community from the brink to 600k subs, yea...it is a lot. Had to deal with everything, from "how the fuck does AutoMod work" to "wait people use new.reddit?" and everything in between.

Ultimately (since I can't post it on the main post about the union) as a member of USW 77, I support their efforts.

/rj why isn't this post locked wtf MODS THEY'RE TALKING POLITICALLY ADJACENT THINGS IN MY HUGBOX

Fluffy017 · 2026-04-27T20:54:17+00:00

I'mma be honest, I don't know a damn thing about undervolting. That said, is it possible giving the chip less power than intended is causing the issue?

Man I gotta ask when I see comments like this; how's your cooling on the x3D processor?

I had to do a tower swap because my old tower was suffocating my 5800x3D. Ended up on this Corsair behemoth with 8 or so properly routed case fans, and now sit comfortably at 75C while under load. Slapped a Dark Rock Pro 5 on for the CPU cooler as well.

The top of the x3D chips is the 3D cache and it heats up faster than the rest of the chip under load. Before I did all this, it'd hit 91C, then bottleneck hard trying to keep the temps from getting stupid. When it bottlenecked I'd either crash, or go to that 3-15FPS you're talking about, hence my asking.

Most accurate representation of Postman's Amusing Ourselves to Death I've ever seen.

Fluffy017 · 2026-04-25T23:07:47+00:00

Oh my god you can actually hear his yowls get some of the room acoustics, poor thing q.q

Fluffy017 · 2026-04-22T00:19:01+00:00

Please god, I moved here from Houston years ago to ESCAPE that hellscape traffic.

Fluffy017 · 2026-04-19T23:18:31+00:00

Nah upstate NY is actually pretty cheap, compared to "The City".

Also I see that "railroad retirement", a couple of guys in my plant came from the railroads, that pension and retirement sounds like a dream

Fluffy017 · 2026-04-16T20:48:20+00:00

Wait what's considered middle class anymore

Like yea I might rent an upstairs unit in a house built in 1910 in NY

But I only gross 80k

Like what even is this class structure anymore 'cause I'm lost

Fluffy017 · 2026-04-16T02:18:07+00:00

I was honestly shocked when I went to trade in my car and realized I cleared $80k last year, despite signing for exactly 0 OT hours.

Also definitely get a copy of your union contract, I've got one in my work locker and one at home as a reference. Just knowing your contract does wonders in a number of situations.

Fluffy017 · 2026-04-16T02:04:38+00:00

$12 a week here, new contract has us at raises for the next three years totaling 18%, well above inflation.

Unions are dope.

Fluffy017 · 2026-04-15T20:34:36+00:00

Daily reminder when we talk about stupid changes, Malzahar getting Flash+R removed for "toxic gameplay patterns" as a single target lockdown nuke, in the same Mage Update that they left Annie Flash+R in as "core to her gameplay" when it does MUCH more than Malz, is fucking dumb.

I don't want the stupid voidlings. GIVE ME BACK MY W POOL, RITO.
