COMPREHENSIVE HISTORY OF UFO X-COM GAME SERIES BY RETROAHOY

Incredibly stellar and consistent narration of [RetroAhoy] forced me to share this captivating story with you. One of the few channels with million subs which delivers unmatched review quality. Such quality can be found more likely on smaller YT channels, rather than on top channels. First priority of which is to promote loads of sh#te ads.

FALLOUT ▀ VAULT13 [TBD]

FALLOUT ▀ VAULT13 [TBD]

Is an ambitious project to replicate Fallout 1 world using Fallout 4 engine. Currently game in it’s early stage of development, but location of Shady Sands was already showcased to the public. Developers intend to redo original voice-over because of copyright trademarks. Moreover they are trying to copy voice aesthetics as close as possible to original Fallout 1. Also you can already preview multiple soundtracks created by [Radiofloyd] . As for me, I really like what they are doing, despite the fact that I’m not fond of Fallout 3/4.

DUNU HULK PRO ▀ THE MOST MONSTROUS AUDIO CABLE I EVER HAD

DUNU HULK PRO ▀ THE MOST MONSTROUS AUDIO CABLE I EVER HAD

My claims to previously owned cables were excessive fragility and the fact that they are prone to physical damage too much. Although that i’m using my hardware with care, wire breakage happens quite often. So i decided to go a bit overkill in terms of elimination of this nasty problem. [Dunu Hulk Pro] is a confirmation of my words. It’s a top of the line copper-based wire of Dunu branding.

HOW TO EXPAND LIST OF SUPPORTED ADDONS IN ANDROID FIREFOX

UPDATED ON: 2023-08-31 Not long ago i’ve already mentioned about privacy-hardened [Mull browser] . Very nice Android browser, but have one serious downside: limited amount of supported addons. Yes, i like desktop convenience on the go! To enable additional addons in mobile Firefox browser you’ll need to sideload custom addon collection tied to mozilla account. It’s astonishing fact how they like to implement overcomplicated stuff! To create your own collection you’ll need Firefox account, but i’ll not bother to spent time on such dumb efforts.

IBASSO DX 240 + AMP8 MKII ▀ YOUR PERSONAL POCKET-SIZED GHETTO BLASTER

UPDATED ON: 2023-04-06 After a year of extensive testing i find out that [Shanling M6] has some flaws, which won’t fit my requirements. It is an excellent 2-way DAC DAP in terms of sound quality. All my claims have purely ergonomic nature: Dim display, big form factor [at least from my point of view], weak battery life. These factors forced me to look at [Ibasso DX240] player. Player has single-way desktop grade 32bit/768Khz/DSD512 enabled DAC [ES9038Pro] [pdf specs], very serious elements banding, nice bright Sharp screen and big battery.

I was completely floored by quality of movie atmosphere and yeah, this is true [retro-future-cyberpunk show] of the 80s, without any strained interpretations. Pumping soundtrack, marvelous neon illumination with dramatic light beams, excellent design rise quality of the picture to the point where we can safely say “this is classic!”. Glorious CRT monitors, bulky industrial keyboards, cool computer graphics made on fancy new [Amiga] computers. FILM WAS AVAILABLE IN SUPERB 30 FPS [EAT THIS!

BLIP POSTS AS A MAIN CONCEPT OF THE BLOG

BLIP POSTS AS A MAIN CONCEPT OF THE BLOG

One of my readers asked me why i’m not doing long posts. Answer is pretty trivial. I don’t have much time for writing longer articles. That is why i’m sticking to concept of really short blips, almost like tweets, but a bit longer. Bright side of such aspect is that i’m diving straight to the facts, without any unneeded mambo-jambo. For some reason we all in a hurry now, right? Think that blips disposition is quite effective though.

MULL ▀ PROBABLY THE LAST SANE BROWSER FOR ANDROID

UPDATED ON: 2025-02-17 Mull project is dead and superseded by [IronFox] . It looks like that i found replacement for [Fenec F-Droid] browser, for real. I’m not completely satisfied with not fully removed telemetry, shady stubs and other fishy things presented by Fennec. That is why i begin to investigate the problem and discovered [Mull browser] . Main features of it: DOESN’T DIAL BACK NEITHER TO GOOGLE NOR TO MOZILLA [and that’s a complete steal] based around hardened version of user.
