I casually mentioned to the man that I was cleaning the sound system and behind it and he said not to use the vacuum on the speakers. Oh no of course not i replied. 😳

Oh O. How does he think I've been cleaning them all these years

I also googled it because I thought he was being pedantic and he is right.

He gives them a dust maybe once a fortnight. I think that's all he thinks it needs. I regularly suck the dog hairs off that sub woofer with the vac. I will change my ways.

Can anyone tell me how to open this damn toilet to put one of the blue blocks in? Neither myself nor the wife can. The lid raises like a cm or 2 but feels like it’s being held down somehow.

Angle grinder, masonry grinding disc.

Grip with one hand on each side. Support lid with palms and fish around with finger tips to find the little latches inside that hold it shut. Push latch(es) in and finish raising the lid. Alternatively, raise one side by a few cms, when that releases raise the other side. Insert blue block. Replace lid until it clicks. Disinfect hands. Easy. Used to have one of these.

I enjoy all of the Doom games but, additionally, some of the music is awesome industrial metal type of genre.

A most notable composer is Mick Gordon from Queensland. His work on Doom: Eternal is a great heavy rhythmic and metallic type of soundscape perfectly suited to the game.

of course I will eventually buy the new iteration but unfortunately I think it’s a different composer this time.

They fucked him over after the 1st doom game. Only a part of his music is in eternal.

He posted what happened on reddit and he brought proof of his claims.

They really really fucked him over :(

Am I the only one not even remotely interested in Doom Dark Ages? I liked the last 2, but I think I've had enough. Also, why are we getting a halo CE remaster AGAIN? What, 343 cant make a good halo game so they have to keep remaking the original?

I'm mostly interested in PvP fps and I've got BF2042 for that. I'll probably get BF7 six months after it's release once the bugs have been a bit ironed out. I like big team fps, a lot of stuff is 5v5 which requires more teamwork than random games can supply.
