This was always the silenced PP7 for me.

I still like Xonar cards, like the Xonar DG (though it isn’t compatible with my new PC). I always liked their interface more than the competitors, and it puts out excellent volume on my Logitech headset that is otherwise way too quiet for me. Never been a big fan of the simulated 3D environments on any of these cards, though. The only game it ever sounded decent in was No Man’s Sky, but even that still had a distant tinny sound to it.

I think most people just use external amplifiers these days, but I’m still using a third-party sound card.

Well, that does sound better than the horseshit I’ve been served in the past.

Hard disagree. Gourmet mac just tastes like noodles and bland cheese gravy.

JENKINS WAS MY PA!!!

You should probably replace your detector.

There is nothing more pleasurable than swinging hard at a wasp and slapping that piece of shit. I also enjoy it when it doesn’t die immediately and has to think about it’s life and it’s choices.

Bro grabbed that one Alduin skin off the Nexus.

Oh, botha… Wew… As dey say… When in da Hundwed Acre Woods… 🤷🥂

WHAT’RE’YA BOYYIN?!

Most Christian males don’t know what a clit is, so this is understandable.

I work with a woman who believes she is the most wise and informed person alive, but is shockingly consistent in how very wrong she is about almost everything. Whether it’s a completely incorrect fact or a misunderstanding of how letters work, she’s always sure to hit you with a “Believe it or not, [insert either extremely common or wildly incorrect knowledge here]”.

Recently she went on for a day about the new Napoleon cake out bakery was selling, and wound up buying half a cake for herself. She invited several of us back to try this Napoleon cake (which was nice of her). As you have likely predicted, though, this was not a Napoleon cake.

I initially read this as “Yeah Josephine used to say Napoleon was a bone spirit”, and I got amped to talk about bone spirits.

I could bag that house myself with a steady supply of cauliflower and Beyond Meat burgers. Shit, I probably have Roland beat already.

Days off too. I used to stay up all night, sleep all morning, and work part time at 5pm. Now I start work at either 4am or 7am, and sleeping any later than that on my days off feels as though I’m squandering my freetime. My wife and I still lie to ourselves and say we’re going to sleep in, but then my 4-year-old wakes up at 6 like fucking clockwork, and it’s all downhill from there.

Thank you. This is a beautiful sentiment.

Sometimes it’s weird to look back on middle school, and the teachers who brought our generation up as young kids being told about the future. I’m an adult now, and I feel like an adult now, but in a way it feels like I’m still a part of that group of dumb and naive kids. It doesn’t feel that long ago at all. But the reality is that all of us are now pushing 40, and our time there is now wholly irrelevant, and we’re so far removed from those years that it’s fucking wild. A lot of those teachers are probably dead now.

I don’t know how to articulate what it is I’m meaning to say here. It’s just weird that we were kids so recently. I don’t feel like my life has gone by all that fast, but middle school to 40 somehow did all the same. I feel my age, and I feel as though I’ve lived to my age, but my memories don’t feel distant whatsoever. It feels like that was nine years ago.

Just like I feel like I was still living at home with my dad a few years ago, but I’ve been living in another country away from my parents for 7 years now, and my dad had been dead since last May.

He was such a good dad.

I think the biggest disappointment I had after moving to Alberta was finding out the Aurora Chaser groups use high exposure for all of their images and the actual aurora just looks like white beams most of the time. I do see green from time to time, but you need to go to dark-sky preserves or the fuckin’ Yukon to see the good ones.

Aurora photos are a real circle-jerk of dishonesty.

Absolute piece of shit cameras with slow shutter speed for sure, even on the Ultra. I brought mine back for a cheap ass Pixel 4A and used that for two years instead. That has been outdone only by my Pixel 7.
