  • Bot probability: Low (5%)
  • Snippet: I am aware that I am over-engineering a system. And I may be too wed to rack-mounted equipment. However, I would like to build a rack that can handle my basses and acoustic instruments (upright bass and cello). I've spent dozens of hours trying to learn and build a system, including with over 400 prompts to Chat (please don't crucify me). I really like the functionality I've settled on: https://www.reddit.com/user/dl…

  • Snippet: Lately, I've been clearing my backlog of Resident Evil games, and I finally got around to the remake of RE4, which is one of my all-time favorite games. My first experience with the game was on the Wii, but I was new to horror and not very good at games, so I never beat it despite really enjoying it. Eventually, I returned to it on PC and beat it, and I was struck by just how well it held up. This also makes the RE4 …
