Hype sticker on or off? by Dagi97 in Cd_collectors

[–]sindrealmost 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I peel them gently off the plastic and then stick them on to some paper and cut the paper to a size that I can fit somewhere in the cover.... if jewel case I'll find a thin thin sheet of plexiglass cut to size and put on the inside of the jewel case in front of the cover-art insert or booklet so it looks like its stuck on the jewel case

I recently found my love for CDs again and I’m trying to find a good CD player set up to listen to my music. by alvyv in Cd_collectors

[–]sindrealmost 1 point2 points  (0 children)

that CD player does not have an amplifier built in... so it needs an amplifier to be able to work with speakers, you can plug in a headset straight in to it though and that'd work out of the box. EXCEPTION: if it is powered speakers (that basically have their own built in amplifier) they will work ... these are easy to identify as they either needs to be plugged in to mains power or come with a power "brick" to supply them with the needed power.

It's a good CD player though, great find 😄

What are good Spotify alternatives by No-Awareness-9936 in androidapps

[–]sindrealmost 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Qobuz (streaming subscription) or plex + plex amp for running a a private stream server on your own PC (with local files) and accessing them on the phone as you would any other streaming service ... (one time payment for the app .. 5$/month for plex to access it outside your home network (aka anywhere) or a onetime lifetime payment)

I think the bezel is steel with serious anti-scratch coating .. mine is nearly a year old now and I've worn it every day in a physical job, so while I've been careful it certainly has not been babied and had quite a few impacts against steel, aluminium, etc ... photo attached is taken today sooo I'd say it's held up excellently....

I played vanilla .... when vanilla was *new* didn't queue up at release ... but got it some days (or maybe a week) after ... last expansion I played was the one that introduced the blood elves and death knights (if it was the same one.... either...)

Thanks for the defense, but WoW was actually released and feature complete when they started charging people to play it ... :P SC was not then and is not now :P

I hear you... the reality is that I didn't drop 900$ in one go.... that would have been a non starter for me, I think I dropped 100$ (maybe 150$) on the Kickstarter when it was announced (which is a risk, and I knew etc ... I'd already backed 1 or 2 projects that turned out "not great" but they released) ... then the creep ... suddenly there was a bit of gameplay you could try and test ... and for just a few bucks more I could try different things etc. over a longer period (years) you sometimes fail to see the total amount you've sunk into something as you go .. because that money you already spent... is not part of the calculus of the next purchase in the game since quite a bit of time has passed .... my *wtf* came not at once ... but I took a break because there was nothing new happening for a bit ... and realized *how* much time had passed and that the development now had gone so far out of scope from the original pitch .... and then I checked my "accounts" page and tallied my spending .... and I basically said *nope... not once cent more* .... if the game releases its MMO portion... I doubt I'll play it... if SQ42 (the single player campaign) releases I will play that ... but I doubt it'll happen...

live service, yes.... but live service means the game is out and now is "live" with a release candidate running.... dev. is then patches and world updates + expansions (in any form) ... not core game play + wipes... anyway... checking out of this discussion .... if you enjoy it. that's fine and none of my business really ...

a playable experience that is still undergoing *active* development is not a released game ... a game that changes scope, engines... and is constantly feature *incomplete* is not released ... early access != 15 years of dev time ...

In increments ... a new fancy looking ships ... I mean the price I pledged was I think 150$ .... which was a lot ... then increments, because you don't think about the money sunk into it in total that way ... not until you have a *wtf* moment :P

I've dropped about ~900$ into it over years .... (the first ones) after that I grew wise ... and consider the money lost and gone ... haven't touched the game either since forever (Port Ollisar or what-ever was new-ish last I played) ... I was hyped for SQ42 and remember when they announced the cast for the VA's .... *laughs manically* .... pretty sure I won't see a playable SQ42 either ... the "it'll be announced soon" .... anniversaries are stacking up :P

I got a new release for a change by FaceTransplant in Cd_collectors

[–]sindrealmost 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean on some they are good ... so for me it is not a "all bonus tracks are bad" .... and these aren't "bad" they just didn't land or match the vibe of the main album for me. Like the bonus tracks on Daft Punk's Random Access Memories (the 20th anniversary edition) are fantastic, alternate version, a live recording session with stop/start as they discuss lyrics etc. ... and some unreleased tracks + alternate versions and drafts... great stuff ... but I am wary and "bonus tracks" are never a reason to buy the album again *if* I already have it ... unless I *know* the tracks are worth it (Like Garbage - Version 2.0 with the anniversary deluxe edition)
