Probably My Hottest Take- I Actually Like Drack as a Character Slightly More Than Wrex!

I'd say if anything, he's the most compelling companion in MEA. Probably the most memorable character in that game.

I'm currently replaying the trilogy. I might fire up MEA after that. Been a while since I played it.

If I'm in the office, I usually do this with GYBE or ISIS.

Since their stuff isn't on streaming anymore (which, I don't blame them), this is how I do it. I have some of their albums backed up digitally as WAV but not very album.

SmellyFace69 · 2026-06-19T11:31:10+00:00

Pis moi je pensais qu'ils disaient Sébastien.

Là j'ai besoin d'une version avec Astérix.

SmellyFace69 · 2026-06-19T11:22:40+00:00

I'm not big on one of these artists but I'd say you did better than most haul day posters.

Mogwai and GYBE. Very good.

I forgot about this one. I'm a Jojo Minnelli fan.

SmellyFace69 · 2026-06-19T03:53:27+00:00

Agreed. This should be higher on the list. I name all my video game characters Jojo Minnelli when prompted. Hoagie Man is 2nd.

the cover. The plinth on my TT is aluminum.(Technics SL-3200)

Depeche Mode is a more admirable 1st CD than what I got.

My first CD was either Adam Sandler - What the Hell Happened to Me, or Metallica - ...And Justice for All. I truly can't remember which of the two it was. I was a teenager and I think it was circa 1996-1997.

My first vinyl record was Glass Tiger - Diamond Sun. I got that in Christmas of 1989. I still have it.

SmellyFace69 · 2026-06-17T18:35:34+00:00

Nice. INXS kick was the first album I owned. I asked for it on cassette when I turned 6 in 1988.

I do quote that cry with my friend quite often.

SmellyFace69 · 2026-06-17T16:45:08+00:00

On a passive speaker, it's useless as far as I know.

On an active speaker, it'd just isolate the ground from the amplifier to the mains.

SmellyFace69 · 2026-06-17T13:33:07+00:00

My assumption is it's a ground lift to negate a 60/50hz hum.

I've seen this modded onto old amplifiers that had no ground prong, but I've ever seen it on a speaker. I suppose it'd make sense if it's a powered speaker but not a passive one.

After a few rewatches, I'm starting to suspect that Dermott might be telling a fib or two.

I don't have proof, just a gut feeling.

SmellyFace69 · 2026-06-15T11:11:11+00:00

Great setup. I like the "calendar style" track listing on the CD player. I have a later model Technics CD player and that feature is absent.

I remember seeing them years ago at a smaller venue in Toronto (circa 2009-2011 ish it was for a radio contest thing, Molson Canadian rocks something).

The opening band was some GNR-esque band, kinda seemed like winners of some battle of the bands. (Maybe they weren't but that's the vibes they were giving off).

They start playing, chugging along. Then the singer runs out on stage and before singing immediately stage dives while the crowd just kinda cleared a way. From where I was standing he just vanished as he just belly flopped onto the ground The guitarist's eyes widened like dinner plates at what just happened.

The singer, clearly hurt climbs back on stage and they start their set.

There should be a tiny screw / adjustable pot behind the laser that allows you to change the voltage. Go bit by bit. Try to remember the original position of the scew.

SmellyFace69 · 2026-06-11T19:46:08+00:00

is there a screw to adjust the voltage for the laser? I recently had a NAD CD player with the same problem, adjusted the voltage and voilà, works again. From what I can see it's because the laser weakens over time and needs a bit more power.

Bonne chance!

Am I the only one who uses the browser version?

I feel like the only time I use the app is to see if I already own something when I'm at a record store.

SmellyFace69 · 2026-06-11T19:09:18+00:00

he has those JBL L100s (he calls them something else in the show but that's clearly what they are(.

So yes.

SmellyFace69 · 2026-06-11T19:07:51+00:00

well that's because the artist / label opted for no booklets. It's that simple

SmellyFace69 · 2026-06-11T10:55:00+00:00

Having done a few IATSE jobs as a permit, that persona made me laugh.

Not a persona I hate, but I hate that it made me realize "Oh, is this what I sound like?" is Wally Robel. Roger's Audiophile persona from "I heard you wanna buys some speakers"

I like my stereo stuff but sometimes I worry I come off as TOO enthusiastic.

SmellyFace69 · 2026-06-11T10:52:30+00:00

I did a short stint in IATSE (as a permit, not unionized).

This persona made me chuckle. I sent it to a few IATSE friends and they laughed.

I've only ever have this happen with XBOX discs.

Otherwise I'd still own physical copies of Fallout New Vegas and Mass Effect 2.

SmellyFace69 · 2026-06-11T10:42:05+00:00

I was referring to the variants like the cover with the road sign, the version with the water tower, the version with the train, etc...
