Chicago has some great spots like the Art Institute and Millennium Park. In New York, check out the Met and MoMA for art, and the Village for unique music shops.

I think it's just going to take a bit to get some folks back on and posting since the bit of hosting issues. I misread the title, thought it was "what are you watching" and having nothing terribly interesting on my watch list, didn't give it another look  ;D


Right now I'm finishing up yet another playthrough of the Mass Effect trilogy. Got the legendary edition a few months back on sale for <$10.

I think I'm ready to give it a break now, having completed it with and without mods.

I've recently ordered a Ryzen 5700X3D since my AM4 build still has mileage, and it's a step up from the 2700x that I built it with. Was originally intending it to be a workstation, but gaming kinda took over.

I don't do the latest and greatest, so it should tide me over for another four years at least. I'll have to move to Linux, though. I'm steering clear of Windows 11 "we need to shove ads into our OS" edition.

Mass Effect trilogy is such a classic! How did you find the Legendary Edition compared to the originals? Also, the Ryzen 5700X3D sounds like a great upgrade. Are you planning to dive into any new games once you switch to Linux? I'm curious how the transition will go for you, especially for gaming.

Yes, I've been keeping up with JHS's circuit streams. Sometimes they are informative.

Now I play The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, which is highly acclaimed, with a vast and captivating world, complex characters, and a deep story.

I'm playing 7 Days to Die. Been playing it with my friends for the last couple of years. We like it because we can shoot zombies. Also, the mods and the fully destructible world elements.
What we don't like is their servers' speed. We rent one from this site for $6. So that's what I recommend to those who're playing it or intend to play it. Get a private server!

excellent progress! i'm anxiously waiting this to resolve :) i have prepared ddt boards but didn't use them because of annoying distortion. maybe it won't be just waisted time money after all ;D

r15 is the key as i recall. i put 33k or 39k and it was alot better but not perfect. you need to rebias it after u change r15.
i didn't build or heard 3005 version but cool audio one is not working as it should. it still needs some work to clean those repeats. i build 2 and few friends bulit 4 or 5 and everyone have same problem - DISTORTED REPEATS.

i had just 1 bbd, not 2 as you do.

is regulated, tried subbing every ic, transistors are mpsa18. i will have to check all resistors but i think i got them right.
