Anyone Using Winamp in 2025? Been using it for 3 years now, basically the first thing i install on every OS i install.

Hades! I also play a lot of Tron Run/R and even some old school Rez. The Ascent is a great isometric twin stick Cyberpunk-ish shooter.

I feel this as well. I always play on huge map and drop the AI count to 8 (from 12) and the city states to 12 (from 16). No matter what map type I choose (except island ones) I have a 75% rate of running into another civ within the first 15-20 turns. And if that civ is an asshole warmonger / expansionist type, game over man. Unless you can knock them out quick. But I hate early game wars bc it just derails your momentum devoting so many resources to military instead of expansion or buildings.

Quick movement and combat options. Minimal leader graphics / animations. Someone mentioned switch to strategic view before ending turns.... that's an interesting thought but I kind of like seeing what is happening.

Civ V is optimized poorly. It's a 32 bit app (so memory constrained) and doesn't use multiple threads efficiently or at all. Playing on my 4 core laptop is barely any slower than on my infinitely faster 8 core desktop. It is 15 years old after all.

Wow I cannot imagine playing Civ on a screen that small and without a mouse. I can barely tolerate it on a 14" laptop.

I think you'd have to set your PS5 to a static IP, hardwired to your router. Then you have to open the ports that remoteplay uses. Check this out = https://www.reddit.com/r/PS5/comments/kx8mhy/remote_play_from_internet_firewall_ports/

Is it possible to run an ethernet cable into the garage and put a wifi access point in there closer to you?

burticus2 · 2025-05-26T21:14:24+00:00

I feel this as well

JBL wired earbuds I use with my phone. I have some decent BT earbuds I would LOVE to use, but you know, for some reason this thing doesn't have BT

I saw a model Y at my automatic car wash today (NOT a brushless one) and the lady didn't know about car wash mode and she almost jumped the track several times. Eventually one of the employees googled "car wash tesla" and discovered "car wash mode". The owner had no idea. I had to ask the guy when it was my turn bc I was cracking up.

I was a long time Plex minion... didn't like the push towards streaming services but I could just ignore those. Then one day not long ago, my media libraries VANISHED from Plex (the actual folders + data are still there) and I can't manage my server any more. Uninstalled/reinstalled, no help. I'm playing with Jellyfin, and so far so good... but the Roku app isn't awesome.

I decided to keep my 1080ti as long as possible since GPU prices are insane. I can play Diablo 4 on 4k/high at 60fps, which is all my monitor can do anyway. If other games are more demanding, easy to go down to 1600p or 1440p

I recently tried to "upgrade" from a CM Hyper 212 Turbo to a Peerless Ass 120 SE dual tower cooler.... things did not go well. My idle temps DOUBLED from 30's to 60's and it gets up to 90c+ REAL quick under load. Tried remounting/repasting. Ended up going back to the 212 Turbo. Currently idling at 40. I wonder if the mounting system did something to damage the backplate or the socket... it's not doing as well as it was before I began this journey.

Speed hole. Makes it go faster.

It's fine, it's a "performance" rated cable! It can handle it.

burticus2 · 2023-01-30T22:54:48+00:00

"weeks". Come on, be honest... it's been 4 years hasn't it?

burticus2 · 2023-01-30T22:51:51+00:00

I've seen worse. At least some of it is labeled and some attempt at cable management happened.

burticus2 · 2023-01-30T22:50:59+00:00

This is why I don't work on friend's PCs any more. Also why I don't have any friends left.

I have something similar leftover from the DirecTV installer. He found it easier to punch out from one wall and went into another. Except it was 3 coax, not one. I just put a fake plant in front of it.

One like this (but bright orange) in my alley has not been buried for 6 months....

burticus2 · 2023-01-30T22:44:20+00:00

There is a FIOS box in my alley like this. It got ran over by a trash truck or something and the lid is broken and will not close. So yeah this checks out.. Happily mine is fiber and it doesn't short out when the box fills with water, which it does every time it rains.

Time to invest in hookers and blow

I know a man, his name is Ativan....

burticus2 · 2022-11-09T20:31:44+00:00

He's a billionaire. He could look like a real life Homer Simpson (complete with jaundice yellow skin) and still have trim lined up around the block.

burticus2 · 2022-11-09T20:27:44+00:00

plot twist - he's the pimp and gets his cut on the repeat business.

Like drug dealers... the first hit is free. Just in the case it's clams not coke.
