For about 20 years I've been "the SMBC guy," but during the last week I've had 2 different people online shocked to realize "the bea wolf guy" is also "the smbc guy" - something I've never had with any other project.

btw i passed my pc parts list by a friend who knows a lot about pc hardware and she said she had no comments about it and that it would work well, which made me feel very good. i had to learn so goddamn much but at least now i know it

i know in my head that a handmade tape deck of better quality than the crappy ones made these days would probably require a watchmaker's hand and cost too much to be worth it

but i know in my heart that it would be worth it to *me*

'This house is a mess. I have so much work to do,' said Toad.

Frog looked through the window. 'Toad, you are right,' said Frog. 'It is a mess.'

Toad pulled the covers over his head.

i wonder if i can make my own cassette tape player if i'm careful enough and can get the right tools and don't worry about quality too much

Ladies, if your man:

- is not arm
- is related to arm
- is related to body
- is related to lower
- is related to walking

He's not your man. He's a leg.

1 AM. I cannot sleep. Went looking for cursed content on the internet. Succeeded harder than I intended to. Now I still can't sleep, but for a different reason.

i have a craving for space simulators. does anyone have any good ones to recommend? ive got freespace and freespace 2 already, and i was told to try freelancer and rebel galaxy, and everspace 2 is on my radar... but what else are y'all playing?

hey i know i asked this before but i forgot what everyone said. does anyone have recommendations for a good portable cassette player purchasable in 2023 without breaking the bank?

omg i just had a cool idea for new music player software

i've seen stuff made in godot that seems more like tools than games, so... what if... music player, that moreso resembles a physical player?

eh? eh??? seems cool i think! i'd allow for customizability such as what media format, maybe find some trickery to make it sound like what it is (i.e. filters to make it sound wobbly like a cassette, or introduce noise filters, or straight-up re-encode it for minidisc, other fun stuff)

This is a *fascinating* concept for games studies - "quotes" of a game that don't just show you a clip of gameplay, but actually let you take control and try it out. It trims the ROM down to only what's needed to run the quote, so this might even pass a fair dealing/fair use test in court if it came down to it - just like quoting a passage of text, or a clip of a movie.

hey amd folks, what's the difference between the b650 and x760 chipsets, other than a $60 price differential on the motherboard? i'm wondering if there's any reason one would be worth it over the other

a couple of pc build questions:

- ddr5 ram: is there a meaningful difference between 6000 and 6400 MHz

- is overclocking still a thing that gives practical and noticeable improvements in performance these days or are the added power draw and build stipulations not worth it anymore

- when did case manufacturers decide that wanting more than two usb ports on the case front panel was a trap laid by satan and was never to be entertained
