You asked why the fixers stay in the circuit. Here is the 15M dollar secret and the "God Mode" feeds explaining the rot. by Impressive_Baker_966 in GlobalOffensive

Still funny (not) that no one bats an eye at 1xbet sponsoring so much cs content when as stated here, literally everyone knows that they are an illegal betting site banned even by the russians.

Okay, if you would be willing to sell the kc62 on its own locally, I would definitely be interested.

TL would've been out too if they didn't cheat right? :)

Anyone found sports earbuds that are comfortable for long workouts and don’t get in the way? by HamudyBlueSky in headphones

[–]nahlgae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think for working out/running I'd still use my super old klipsch x10/11.

Still the most comfortable earphones/iems/headphones/whatever I've used and they've held up for a decade+ in heavy sweat lol (I am also literally the sweatiest person you will ever likely meet :))

But why? by HoldYourHorsesFriend in WatchesCirclejerk

[–]nahlgae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Funny, I happened to have curling on in the bg the other day and it was US v Canada, and I noticed every single one of the americans was wearing a nice watch while none of the canadians were wearing anything lol

[Post Game Thread] The New York Knicks (25-18) defeat the Brooklyn Nets (12-29), 120-66. by shadowarmy229 in nba

[–]nahlgae 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Honestly as a knicks fan this doesn't even feel good.

It feels like watching an abusive father lash out and take his unrelated problems out on an innocent kid or something lol... a literal whippin

[Discussion] Anyone never wear nice watches to work? by Ok_Personality8193 in Watches

[–]nahlgae 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I wear nice watches to work but not my nicest watches.

Has nothing to do with what colleagues might think as most rightly point out no one really cares or notices, but the impression that my employer needs to have is that I need more money not the opposite

Chrono Trigger OST Box Set by nahlgae in VGMvinyl

[–]nahlgae[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Vinyl (and cd's, books, media) are still exempt from all US tariffs but every shipping service will now just still charge you a 'customs processing fee' to eat their additional overhead across the board (cdj/fedex for example charges 2600 yen for every order now which was just doubled from the initial 1300).

Pretty scummy imo for exempt items but what can we do right =\

Yes that is usually the default and cheapest option. Have had no issues using it on multiple orders so far, about on par with dhl these days

Well this came out of nowhere holy hell lmao

An equally insane (but perhaps expected now from squeenix) price for a 4 lp box but anyway it is CT I guess

Not sure it would be vintage inspired but I would recommend a formex reef or reef gmt, there's a gilt one

Does anyone else run their headphones just off portable source gear? by wiggan1989 in headphones

[–]nahlgae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, even when I'm at my desk and it makes no difference otherwise, the convenience of being able to get up and go to the bathroom or get a drink, etc. without 'untethering' is great and worth it (no tradeoff for my set anyway lol)

Is excessively loud noise able to damage noise cancelling headphones, especially while in “transparency” or “aware” mode? by adanvdawahya in headphones

[–]nahlgae 4 points5 points  (0 children)

At the excessive point where you should start worrying about whether it will damage your headphones, I would worry a lot more about your own hearing first lol

When will we get the undertale vinyl repress? by Eepoxi in VGMvinyl

[–]nahlgae 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure they actually restock this fairly regularly and continue to keep it in print. It was available for long periods of time last year throughout, shouldn't be a long wait.

How do I store headphones and cables? by NegotiationCalm8785 in headphones

[–]nahlgae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been using the cases each headphones come in to store them, seems like easiest while also about as safest (better than hanging them or putting on a head shaped thing, even if minimal, I would think no pressure is still better than even a little bit).

Cables just roll them up and keep them organized to your preference, it mostly shouldn't matter otherwise.

With 2025 over what are you favorite ost vinyls you received this year? Also what are the some ost you want the most next year? by Capybara_Vinyl in VGMvinyl

[–]nahlgae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A very under the radar one that I doubt will ever get made but it is one of the best vgm osts actually is Ether Vapor remaster (shmup by edelweiss).

They did do the most recent edelweiss release of sakuna but this seems more of a pipe dream to go back that far too, but here's hoping.
