500GB Crucial SSD, 16 GB RAM upgrade kit and various accessories arrived from AMZN today. Going to be doing surgery on Mum's 13" MBP this evening. I haven't done work like this in ages. Remember when Macs had user replaceable parts? SMH my head, as the zoomers say.

With all the kerfuffle of Borderlands 3 being a timed exclusive on the Epic Game Store and Randy Pitchford being a gibbering asshat (as he always is) I've been getting back into ...Borderlands 1 and 2. 2K did BL fans a solid by giving away the 4K HD texture pack for BL2 and the Enhanced version of BL1 for free (to existing owners.) I've only put about 8 hours in to BL1 enhanced. I imported my old character and beat Crawmerax with some friends. One thing I will say about BL1 is that it has the best soundtrack of the entire franchise. I liked it enough to buy it on CD years ago. The real fun I've been having is via the Reborn mod for BL2. It requires hex editing the BL2 EXE to run (there's a tool specifically for the task), but it's a relatively simple process. The Reborn mod addresses a legion of balance and mechanical issues that exist in BL2. It has really breathed new life into the game for me. A few friends of mine have have been joining me in the evenings and we've been going through with relatively low level characters. I'm currently an L33 Gunzerker. This is the first time playing BL2 for one member of our crew and he has really taken to it. His enthusiasm for the game coupled with the huge amount of QoL changes Reborn adds has effectively made the game "Borderlands 2.5" and a real blast to play. After this phase, I may see about modding Borderlands: The Pre Sequel, a game much maligned for for both deserved and unfair reasons.

I have that on CD. Totally agree - a real classic. And superbly recorded.

My Mom had this recording and I used to love listening to it as a kid. Found it on Tidal The second track describes the recording of the cannons and bells used. Pretty interesting. Don't play it too loud. They did a great job of capturing the vintage bronze cannon.

Power Weeb Pop. Yes.

I advise you to switch to wine now. Burgundy goes well with sushi. Little known fact.

Sounds like it's already going quite well!

Refurb'd Marantz 250 amp and 3300 pre.

But... everyone knows that carbon resistors give a nice organic sound signature.... think 1960's transistor radio........

You are already a douchey boutique manufacturer.
