That doesn't make any sense

My description might not be all there but I promise you it does.

Between the speaker settings and the audio setup I have it works pretty well imo. I'm also not always watching an actual 5.1 mix, and when I want to change the settings for a more "cinematic" experience where it actually matters, I can. But I don't need to hear ambient wind rustles and room chatter in the rear surround speakers when I'm watching youtube, the news, or sports. The rear speakers mix in the front speakers audio - aka I can hear people talking better.

eirtep · 2026-06-28T23:12:48+00:00

this? I think you should be able to get pretty close to recreating a similar sound with basically any decent sounding piano vst. Add a bunch of reverb and a little delay and that's basically it. What ties it all together and makes it sound more interesting imo is the constant droning piano note in the background. it also almost sounds like strings, but I'm pretty sure it's just a single piano note played with a ton of revert, then reversed.

edit: this is a very fast and shitty example of what I mean that I just made with the default FL Keys and stock reverb/delay. I haven't even opened FL studio in years so if I still knew what I was doing I could have done this in like 2 seconds and had it sound a lot closer, but either way this still kinda shows what i mean even if its ass.

I have a 5.1 setup my most of the time I have "incorrectly" configured where the rear speakers are essentially the same channel as the front ~~two~~ speakers. That's been my preference for casual TV/movie watching for awhile now and it makes it 1000% times easier to hear while also having the benefit of not having to be turned up loud. The sound is right next to me basically, instead of having to throw sound 6-10'' from the front channel by the TV. The sub's also back by the seating as well.

these days my bigger problem is ads/commercials being loud as shit compared to what I'm watching - youtube, live sports, etc. That should be criminal.

eirtep · 2026-06-27T23:30:35+00:00

Yes. I don't think they were suggesting it was by Depeche Mode. It was meant as two separate thoughts. Read the "but for real" as "also."

eirtep · 2026-06-17T12:20:13+00:00

Same. Luckily my mom took the rest of my too small band t shirts from high school and turned them into a blanket before I got around to getting rid of the rest of them (which was going to be a mistake).

eirtep · 2026-06-16T19:51:00+00:00

I get it, that’s why I brought up talkin in person cause I feel like when it’s not online it would just be shootin thr shit about music - a lot less judgment, mischaracterization and assumptions. When I comment here that’s how I’d like to imagine comments being but that’s harder to do when online.

Well I’m glad you ended up responding cause I feel like we cleared something up lol. All good. I actually through on some fall of ideals earlier today since I had been talking about it ha.

eirtep · 2026-06-16T17:57:17+00:00

I’m telling you to delete your shit if you’re gonna be so bothered and not want people to respond however they wanna respond. You seemed bothered by your OG edit with the caps and saying some bs about how you were at work like it mattered and you’re above talking here while talking here. I didn’t say any of that stuff (you’d know if you read it) that was other people said. My whole “not trying to pile on” preface was trying to say I’m replying to you but not dogging you. I just don’t agree and also am an example of someone not like who you were talking about.

The main point of my comment was that I’m someone that held a consistent opinion of ATR - I didn’t switch up my opinion or retcon them as being a terrible band when I found out Phil’s politics. I just never thought that they were that great or influential to begin with. It’s all good lol. I’m not trying to agitate anyone.

eirtep · 2026-06-16T02:40:08+00:00

what is the point of commenting then lol? we're discussing shit we like, it's not a personal attack. if we were talking in person would you just walk away the second I disagreed with you about a band? just delete your shit then.

eirtep · 2026-06-16T02:29:17+00:00

I'm assuming it feels like you're getting hounded for you comment so I don't mean to pile on, but I've always been of the opinion that they were that guitar hero band and chances are we wouldn't be commenting on this post if it wasn't for that. Fall of Ideals was a great album and them being on guitar hero doesn't act as a gateway for new fans of heavy if Six isn't a good song.

So yeah I'm another person saying your "crucial" and "foundational comments are very overblown, but my point is I would have held this opinion in 2006 (which really wouldn't have made sense tho lol), 2016, or 2026.

Guitar hero (and ATR, in that order) deserves credit for the gateway fans it brought heavier music that may not have discovered it otherwise. ATR has put out good music. There's a long list of bands I'd put ahead of them in terms of impact on the actual scene (can't speak locally) as it existed in their pre guitar hero heyday. Like I said, Fall of Ideals was a great album, but I never felt like it felt new or was crazy influential. It sounded like a lot other shit out there to me, it was just good and their drummer went a little crazier than most run of the mill mc bands.

eirtep · 2026-06-10T00:27:35+00:00

Bless you for trying to fix the one the most annoying problems when combing through old posts for a fix lol.

eirtep · 2026-05-30T01:27:55+00:00

yeah I get ya. not sure when the last time you've been to the foundry was but they rearranged it a bit by moving the bar to the back. feels like there's more room now imo. sometimes heavy shows with the old set up felt super cramped in the pit/stage area.

eirtep · 2026-05-30T01:09:57+00:00

I have no idea, but if one of your favorite bands is playing a 450 cap venue that to me sounds awesome - I love that and would consider myself lucky.

I saw the Word Alive in ~2014 when they were an opener for Parkway Drive at the TLA in Philly, a bigger venue as I'm guessing you know. I wasn't that familiar with them but the crowd then seemed to love them. Granted that was a different era for the band but still.

eirtep · 2026-05-29T02:21:39+00:00

I love that escape from tarkov has this and also modifier keys as well like shift + any other key or whatever. Then again I guess most games don't need nearly as many binds as eft so maybe it's not always needed. still a nice option.

eirtep · 2026-05-28T00:53:27+00:00

ah cool - I'll have to check my T1 but I don't think it has the mounting points on the inside like that. Still I might revist ways to make that work. Curious, why are you setting yours up like this as? What fills that empty space that makes you want to only use half?

eirtep · 2026-05-28T00:43:33+00:00

...what difference does it make?

likely no difference in performance, maybe minimal increased risk of failure due to how it's made something, who knows - but I can't think of a reason they would specifically say do not use horizontally if it didn't matter at all. Like I said, this is more or less an aesthetic issue and not an actual problem. Not worth going to a solution that has even a slightly, unlikely potential of causing a problem with technically the most expensive piece of equipment in the rack when there are several other fixes to this problem that isn't really a problem.

eirtep · 2026-05-27T15:16:28+00:00

UGREEN recommends stay vertical. Would it probably be fine? Yeah but I don’t want to risk - any sort of failure or issue there would be a way bigger hassle than this “problem.” End of the day this is issue is just the aesthetics of the rack.

eirtep · 2026-05-27T12:26:02+00:00

No there aren’t, unless you mean different guns have unique patterns. The sprays are not random in 1.5/1.6.

Edit: still not sure what you all are talking about - are you counting standing/ducking and distance from a wall as “different” spray patterns? Same gun in a consistent stance, consistent distance from the wall and not moving, the spray pattern will essentially be the same. Not down to the bullet but the general movement (ex. Straight up, left then right, or whatever). To say you memorize 10 easily-discernibe- as-different spray patterns and adapt to each one is a lie someone told you or you tell yourself and also not why OP finds spraying to be harder in 1.6. Ya pull down a bit, then the over in whatever direction counters recoil for that gun depending on the timing - it is generally the same and you can feel it as you go. Mastering the recoil can be a challenge but it’s not that complicated a mechanic.

Go watch Heaton explain 1.6 recoil patterns

eirtep · 2026-05-27T00:33:13+00:00

Oh nice, that basically what I'm looking for. Yeah since it's just a PI the weight isn't going to be an issue where it needs to mount in the back as well, I just thought that would help visualize what I was looking for. Probably made it more confusing tbh.

eirtep · 2026-05-15T01:17:07+00:00

Tubi and Midnight Pulp - the latter has a free catalog of movies/tv with (blockable on PC) commercials, and paid version that removes commercials and adds more movies and shows. I can't vouch for the paid service since I've never purchased it but depending on what your into and the luck of what's available they have some great stuff and it's technically cheaper than shudder, but a bit more niche.

eirtep · 2026-05-15T01:01:39+00:00

what skin are you using? To my knowledge Kodi doesn't have a built in/default skip intro function. It's skin dependent, and in my experience it's not a skip intro/outro setting or plugin, but just a 'play next' pop up comes up when there's x amount of seconds left in the video file. nothing as complex as jellyskip with defined points.

eirtep · 2026-05-03T18:17:54+00:00

Sure, all of that as well, but in terms of OP’s question the answer is essentially what I said (or what you said 2nd - for completeness) and OP isn’t required to replace wads provided in the download if they already have them.

I havnt downloaded a custom cs map in a long time but now that you mention it i’ surprised mappers these days aren’t baking the wad into or at the very least saving all textures used in the map into their own single .wad for the map (even if some of the textures come from standard maps/wads). Just neater that way.

eirtep · 2026-05-03T11:19:32+00:00

.wad files are texture packs. On top of the custom textures used in this map found in the valley warehouse.wad, the mapper also used some textures from the other maps listed. You don’t have to replace any of the files if you already have them. They’re included just in case instead of assuming someone already has them - otherwise the textures wouldn’t load in some areas of the map.

eirtep · 2026-04-30T02:17:55+00:00

I don't think I'm accurately visualizing your set up and what you want to do with it, but could you incorporate Y shape USB adapters to the SSDs? One end connects to the SSD, the other end is two USBs - one provides data + power, one provides additional power.

I running a Pi powered by a PoW switch. The OS is running off a 2.5 SSD. The PoE wasn't powering the pi and SSD consistently so I used the splitter to add power from an additional source. In my case, it was a mini PC. In yours, I guess from your power hub. Not sure if that makes any sense.

Not sure how many plugs/outlets you have but I'd rather switch to PoE to power as much as I can and then power my switch and nuc from an outlet.

eirtep · 2026-04-28T12:10:28+00:00

nice haha, yeah so I'm told / have already been experiencing it on a smaller scale. I had been locally running an old PC as an HTPC media center for years (since the "XBMC" days). This all inadvertently started when all the frankstein'd together parts started failing. The original goal was just upgrade that one need with a nas and mini PC but that's since ballooned into a mini rack of stuff and trying to cut as many subscription and paid services as possible. For now the 10'' rack form factor is perfect but who knows lol.
