Now, I’m not a super audiophile speaker fan.

I picked up these Cambridge Minx 12 speakers with the intention to be sticking them on the ceiling for that deluxe positional audio for movies.

Set them up to make sure they work and, dang! Paired with a subwoofer, these sound great for 3” cubes.

I've got some trivia about the bushes in Super Mario Bros that might shock you...
i was going through my X archives and found this by @superpodsaga.com, which I qrt'd at some point years ago

so, let me bring the question back: what is the most useless piece of video game knowledge you know?

That’s rad 👀

Hope it shows up elsewhere sooner rather than later. Ready to jump in!
Watch our Young Suns teaser! Available now in Xbox Game Preview on Game Pass and coming soon to other platforms 🪐

I'm researching the silent 1914 Wizard of Oz films and one of them has a Minecraft cat

Back in the day, my associates used a slang term similar to the modern parlance “cringe”
If someone or something was embarrassing, they’d be referred to as a “riddy”

Anyway.

Picked up some movies, including Riddy Player One.

Remembering when I had a little pocket PC around 2004/5.

Would listen to weird internet radio on it a lot. The one I was tuned into the most was a weird throwback comedy channel, which was all kinds of 80s and 90s stand-up and comedy radio clips. Some of the wild stuff they were saying, whew.

The best audio gear comes in anime girl tins.

(Don’t quote me on that)

(Wanted a small, cheap DAC to clean up the audio on a little Linux computer. Works great!)

0.2C°😱❄️
-5C° tonight, so some proper ice.
Everything seems to be working as intended.

I’ll take the water temperature as well. I hope it’s not too cold.

On the plus side, next week is back to being mild.
Here we go. First true test for the tiddlers 🥶

Bought a bubbler to help prevent parts of the surface freezing. Glad that worked out.

Shall see how they look once things defrost.

Put myself in a mood watching a recent GVH video.

Didn't say anything off

"GVH isn't that good, but that's my opinion"
"The "fan" game is technically better at being a dramatic visual novel, but it's written by edgelord transphobes"

But the implication that game was asking for it irritated me.

I utterly despise “AI” chatbot horse shit being funnelled in to everything

No particular reason for mentioning this. Just does my head in watching it become a psychosis inducing brain drain upon the population.

Dumbest cyberpunk dystopia possible.

While I'm still in a SOAD mood, let's give Steal this Album and Self Titled a few spins.

I'm old enough to be a Pre-Toxicity fan. The first album was wild at the time. Hadn't heard much shit like that before! Was 14 at the time. Can't think of a better age to get into the band. 👀

Seriously. got bored halfway through Mezmerize and was singing along merrily with Hypnotize. I don't get why people rate the former album higher.

Someone mentioned that it had the classic B.Y.O.B. I was like, yeah, that song is alright. Oh wait, I was thinking of Boom. B.Y.O.B kinda blows, actually
System of a Down time!

Someone is going to have to explain why Mezmerize is liked more than Hypnotize

(Also finally figured out how the album packaging is meant to interlock after 20 years)

Slowly building up my Madonna discography by rooting about in charity shops.

After hearing all the people talking crap about Erotica in reviews and rankings, I’m listening to the album right now.

Too long? Sure. But it’s got SonicCD-coded eclectic dance beats! I think it’s real neat!

The promise of lesibabs in the recent Sonic racing game has me considering a purchase.

Watched The Crow (2024)

A slog as the movie faffs about with an hour and a bit spent on origin story and uninteresting "mystery investigation"

Picked up once he *finally* became The Crow and started messily murderizing henchmen. Then it ends.

Also: Weird Chicago where everyone sounds European. 🤔

After a while of using a very sensible hi-fi subwoofer for my home theatre set up, i finally got the chunky gut rumbler sub back from being serviced.

Does it jiggle? Does it stink? 😤

(Bonus points if you recognise what my sound test movie of choice is)

Sold them a month later and went back to my cheap and cheerful Koss 30 quid specials.

🤷🏻‍♀️
Bought some extravagantly expensive headphones.

We shall see how long it takes me to feel guilty for having spent money and then sell them. 😅

I swear, if the tiddlers make it through the winter, I'm upgrading the water outlet hose and buying them a fancy waterfall.

Got my eye on this one where you can put pond plants in it for extra filtration and greenery 🌱👀

All my worrying and, a few warm days later, the fish are up and about.

The forecast is for a mild week and the water has been above the food cut-off point for a couple days now.

I hope it’s not a problem to give them something to eat 😅

Got it in my head I needed to get the rest of the fancy collectors sets of John Carpenter movies.

So, now the set is complete!
Each comes with the movie in 4K, HD, making of bonus disk, poster, postcards, production booklet and soundtrack CD.

Oh! And In the Mouth of Madness is here as well.
