Huh, bookmarks. Now there’s something I haven’t used effectively in years... These days, I just leap to a search engine, type an url from memory, or that failing, a fulltext search on my indefinite browser history.

Re: OPL3 standalone box/device with MIDI IN/OUT?

Posted on 2019-01-09, 05:24

OPL3 doesn’t have MIDI support. You need a MIDI controller, and a set of FM instruments. That device, as expensive as it is, sounds like exactly that. But does it have any flexibility over which MIDI features you get, or which instruments you can use? Does it even detail what it does?

In my never ending quest to constantly change my computer and operating system, I installed Ubuntu 18.10 again on my 3770 machine a couple weeks ago, and shortly after, reinstalled my recently RMA replaced RX 480, which just “feels” better than running a GTX 960 with proprietary drivers. Once again, …

That’s what I mean. I have a 512GB SSD, and 3 TB free on my network storage, and I doubt it would be enough for all 563 games that I’ve ever owned on Steam. Then there’s that guy in my friends list that I used to hang out with on IRC who owns over 11,000 games...

At this point, I’d wholeheartedly recommend disconnecting any XP machine from the Internet anyway, since you’re never getting any further security patches or other support for the operating system. You couldn’t pay me enough to run it myself, or support anyone else doing so. I only just barely …

The only way I see Steam failing in the next 10 or 15 years is if the entire PC platform goes the way of the dodo. Meanwhile, I can totally see the PS4 hardware or firmware failing inside …

I’m not terribly worried at this point, after having distributed hundreds of dollaridoos at Steam, GOG, and Origin. They’re all hanging onto success, even if some may think it’s bad to say they’re “too big to fail”. I’m still waiting for the entire Windows operating system platform to switch their …

Re: Post your 'current' PC

Welp, my RX 480 decided to show more signs of failure, and I didn’t read the early signs from Linux, no, I reinstalled Windows 10, and was greeted by the same GPU recovery events, and not even while overly stressing the card. Nothing happened the night before, while I was playing Destiny 2. Oh well, …
