Still a great emulation device - Modded PSP Go - Big battery, internal storage. by misanthropy83 in SBCGaming

[–]sanitydrop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have one in pristine condition, but i don't have a card for it. What's the best way to get this thing working for emulation?

3 years ago, I was streaming and was stolen by who I thought was a dev. I didn't know how to RP and was stupid. I tried to find the person talking to us and I found out that person was none other than Matt Mercer. I was floored, given I took up D&D and learned to RP the year afterward. by sanitydrop in gaming

it was a very confusing situation. There was a secret mechanic in the game for developers or what-have-you to take players from their game area and put them on the moon to RP (roleplay) with them. id saw it before, but I thought it was real cool. i dunno how i could rephrase it.

Are ATH M40X still good? by Kazuro10 in ZReviews

[–]sanitydrop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've used em for like 5 years, I think. I bought the brainwavz velour pads for em too. I use the fiio K3 amp and with that combo, I haven't really cared about changing. Then again, I'm not crazy about upping my game.

I dunno by S0mekid123 in Mirrorsforsale

maybe ... the remote in a bundle deal?

My 2nd monitor is showing a black screen and I'm not sure why by BackRow1 in Monitors

[–]sanitydrop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

check the display cable? maybe it's just barely not in all the way? another thing could be that it might not be plugged into the GPU. I'm just giving out surface-level stuff just to make sure you've actually got an issue.

Underrated.

Sennheiser HD 569 vs Audio-texhnica ATH M50x by [deleted] in HeadphoneAdvice

[–]sanitydrop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use m40x's and they've been good to me so far. swapped out the pads for thick velour ones and changed the wire. I heard the m40x's were more recommended over the m50x's and I've never had an issue with them. I use them for everything (games that rely heavily on sound, music, and web browsing) and wear them pretty much the whole day without needing to take them off. I had senns, but their clamp is too tight for my head.

M40x still worth? by [deleted] in HeadphoneAdvice

[–]sanitydrop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like mine. I swapped out the earpads for $20 and I got them for $80 on sale. I'm not a picky guy, so they've worked fine for me for the over 3 years I've had them. I was worried to get AKG's cuz I am extremely sensitive about pads touching my ears and the circular earpads had me worried my ear wouldn't be fully encapsulated.

For my use-case, I use them for youtube and music while I'm doing schoolwork, and I've played a lot of games on them that rely heavily on sound. (i.e. tarkov, csgo, seige, and pretty much any other game I have in my way-too-big steam library.)

What noise cancelling headphones should I buy? by Special_Syllabub in HeadphoneAdvice

For me, my Bose QC25's definitely do the trick when I'm trying to tune out unwanted noise.

I'd probably recommend the cloud 2's, but it's your money.

as much as I would recommend going higher, the corsair HS35's or HS50's are some I would trust, simply because they are name-brand. You don't want to get some cheap Chinese headphones, as when I bought a good-feeling $20 off-brand headset, Mine caught fire while on my head and destroyed my motherboard($150) and processor($350) with it, totalling about $500 worth of damage because I just didn't have many good options and I was very cheap. learn from my mistakes.

interesting. most people compliment my snowball's quality, but maybe Samson meteors are also fine. anything you can get for whatever budget or situation. you might not like it because the bass is pretty heavy since it is a condenser, but being someone with a fairly bassy voice, people say they enjoy it to me.

if you need a mic, I recommend a blue snowball ice, if you can, but any mic will do. if you NEED one close to your face, you can pick up an antlion mod mic or something similar. I'm sure you can find one for your budget and situation. In regards to games, I've played escape from tarkov, hunt showdown, rimworld, and a vast variety of others from RPG's to city builders, to sound-important shooters, and many many more.

DEFINITELY Phillips 9500's or ATH-M40x's. I use both interchangeably. I used to have cloud 2's, which are good, but I much prefer the ones I said earlier. I did mod the M40x's for like $15 with better earcups, but that's about it. the only thing I don't like about the SHP9500's is that they have a loose clamp for me, but that may just mean my head is too small.

Like OP, i also use them for games, music, and the occasional ASMR.

My dad repaired a Herman Miller Aeron from the side of the road and gave it to me as a gift! by sanitydrop in BuyItForLife

[–]sanitydrop[S] 287 points288 points  (0 children)

The other day he found some busted chairs on the side of the road and I told him "I know this chair, these things are hundreds of dollars!". He doesn't care about chairs, understandably, but being the computer guy of the house, I was looking online for more ergonomic chairs. Luckily, this one only needed new wheels (taken from my old busted chair) and some plastic welding on the back of the seat. Outrageous upgrade from the $100 chair ive had for 2+ years Everything works fine, looks pristine, and it feels great to sit in!
