like they literally sought out and checked the box "don't disable screensaver during playback" instead of just leaving it alone.

i wonder if that includes power saving, because i dont use a screen saver just the power off feature

i bought a subwoofer to go with my incredibly cheap shielded speakers

turns out that when i had the crossover tuned to where i liked it, the sub never fires unless there's an explosion on screen

glad i bought a special speaker for explosions :unsmith:

12dB dynamic range isnt that much.

like speech is 60dB and guns are like 140dB. Imagine if it was like real life?

can you imagine how defeated a musician must feel to not even be writing smooth jazz, but be employed by Muzak and have to write similar-sounding knockoffs to 'popular' smooth jazz to have played at nouveau-riche botique shops

nah the people who do knock off music have it really good. they're actual musicians who can play/imitate most styles unlike the 'talent' because they actually know what they're doing. it's almost all tongue-in-cheeck and they most likely have an awesome time making fun of terrible smooth/acid jazz

the people who do that poo poo dont sit down thinking 'this is an artistic work.' they sit down and think 'hell yeah lets imitate this kenny g fucker for money' and because they're actually good at music they succeed
