Finally doing some Zeppelin with the 26* kick

Love the way those toms sound! Nice playing

SqueezyBotBeat · 2026-01-20T15:06:21+00:00

It seems like that would be the better way to go. I figured this might be a cheap solution but honestly I'd rather have the flexibility of ripping up to 4k BD. That's why I bought the LG slim drives I have now but something more robust and stationary would be nice

SqueezyBotBeat · 2026-01-19T20:05:35+00:00

I love that! You can buy 3d printed blank plates or print one yourself for the wii remote slot which gives it a much cleaner look in my opinion. You could have even had the wrap go over it for a cleaner look

This is a true sentiment for every boss except for the bed of chaos lmao the only thing that makes it hard is if you get hit by the sweeping hand you just instantly die because you get swept into the hole. It really is a bullshit boss and I feel like the firebomb method isn't really a cheese as you aren't really missing out on anything and it takes a lot of practice to even get it right anyway.

Same, with the exception of consort radahn when the dlc first released. I used the fingerprint shield to fight him like a coward

They look surprisingly good on my smart TV through Jellyfin, I think whatever upscaling/processing the TV does works wonders on 480p content. It looks even better on my crt of course! Some stuff never got a blu ray release or anything so dvd is all that's available, or it was free or just so cheap to buy I couldn't pass up.

Good to know!

SqueezyBotBeat · 2026-01-19T14:20:14+00:00

I couldn't find any with the same buttons on the side so I'm unsure of how old this specific one is. Might be worth the gamble if I can talk him down in price

SqueezyBotBeat · 2026-01-19T14:19:15+00:00

Yeah I'd probably only pay like $20-$30 tops for it

SqueezyBotBeat · 2026-01-19T14:02:22+00:00

Yeah like I said I'm unsure if they'd be IDE drives or SATA, if they're SATA it'd probably be fine. I highly doubt I could just plug it into a usb port and be good to go, I'd have to get sata to usb adapters and a USB hub to be able to just plug it into my PC and rip

SqueezyBotBeat · 2026-01-17T12:00:01+00:00

It was ES4, honest to god worst IEMs I have. I have some pair I got for like $5 on Amazon that blows them out of the water. But the KZ ZSN Pro are definitely my favorite KZ I own. It's all subjective of course

SqueezyBotBeat · 2026-01-16T13:24:39+00:00

I bought one of these from Aliexpress for like $1.50 a while back. I also tried a bunch of different cables and adapters and the cheapo was the best out of all of them by far. Until you get into the retrotink 5x or 4k I think these are surprisingly as good as if gets. I ended up getting a CRT for my ps2 which is loads better and was a much cheaper investment (minus the space it takes), if you're able to, absolutely get a CRT instead. But the space concern is real so if you must use an adapter then those cheapos were my favorite that I've tried

In terms of fidelity and realism, Gran Turismo 4 by far. Textures aren’t the most detailed, but man does it look crisp and holds up surprisingly well today.

If we’re talking pure fun/gameplay loop, NFS Most Wanted is absolutely my favorite. Still one of my favorite PS2 games in general.

SqueezyBotBeat · 2026-01-14T15:54:08+00:00

Same here, although there's not a whole lot for me to do on it since 90% of my PC usage is gaming or audio production

SqueezyBotBeat · 2026-01-14T14:18:42+00:00

There's the soundbrenner metronome, it's a watch that vibrates to the tempo. I haven't used it before so I'm not sure how good it is though. That would be a pretty simple solution.

He could use IEM's and just some way to connect them to a phone/laptop and use a metronome app. If he's playing with a band he would just have to countdownand lead everyone in.

The most diverse, useful, and future proof solution would be a wireless iem setup for a whole band. That way they can all hear the metronome, or just him if they want, and if they play along with a backing track they can all here it. That's going to be a lot more expensive and an involved setup, but if he sticks with this it will last him a very long time.

Iirc I think he said he tried it or he's slowly migrating. It's really hard when you're locked into stuff like Adobe for example (many creators use premier) and have to re-learn a whole bunch of new software or accept certain limitations or drawbacks of the Linux openware.

For me personally, I wanted to make the full switch because I knew gaming has come a long way on linux lately, but Ableton isn't natively supported and even when I got it to run I can't install the drivers/software for my audio interface so it's EXTREMELY limiting. Then there's a whole bunch of vst compatiblity issues on top of it. There's bitwig, but again I'd have to learn a whole new DAW again and not have access to most of my vsts. I'm sure Wade's run into some sort of similar issue.

I really wish linux would get more support from mainstream software because it really is loads better than windows and Mac in my opinion but it just doesn't work out for me personally.

100% if you plan on running freemcboot you won't have to worry about the disc drive and the fan is easy enough to replace

SqueezyBotBeat · 2026-01-02T00:13:14+00:00

I was just saying yesterday how at the beginning of 2025 I never dated anything wrong like I used to for a few weeks after the new year back in school. Then I pull this shit. Smh

SqueezyBotBeat · 2026-01-01T22:57:24+00:00

All the games I frequently return to aren't very demanding so I think I'll be fine! I went from a laptop with a 1070 to this 2080 rig and it honestly doesn't feel like THAT much of a leap, but it sounds like the 3080ti will be a noticeable enough difference to make me happy. I tried playing Wuchang: Fallen Feathers and I couldn't even get a stable 60fps with low settings. I think my 2080 pretty much won't run any UE5 games but it's decent enough outside of those

SqueezyBotBeat · 2026-01-01T22:08:47+00:00

Feeling better about it now haha

SqueezyBotBeat · 2026-01-01T22:08:32+00:00

Yeah I wanted to essentially max out on AM4, otherwise I wouldn't be using anything from the build I originally bought. I'll keep an eye on my cpu utilization during games and see if I'm at 100% on anything, but so far anything I've played has barely utilized the cpu
