What killed it, well after reviewing some PS4 gameplay I noticed that it was having audio issues, like it would allow some sounds but not all. It was almost as if it was receiving a 5.1 audio output but was missing the centre channel. Even though the PS4 was set to stereo.

After trying various cables, configs, and boxes. I narrowed it down to this box. Not sure what killed it, whether it's just old, or that it's been powered on for over 5 years straight. But its long service will never be forgotten in the hours of Netflix and Disney Plus it passed through to my recorder.

I fly a giant fucking pirate flag with skull and crossbones and no one ever stops me. All they do is say "Are you a pirate?" or "Say Jack Sparrow". Tcchh bitch please, I'll torrent your mom's prom night.

    I torrent so much I had to switch to 720p to save space and still have a backlog of 3tb. I blame my ADHD, I have to hoard everyyyyyyyyything.

    Phones finally stopped my hoarding.

    On my desktop pc I have almost every file I’ve downloaded since 1998. Seriously.

    Want that old specific version of Nero to burn CDs, I probably have you. Looking for abandonware? Yeah, that was my thing for awhile.

    I used to have operating systems I can’t find any record of existing these days (mostly front ends for DOS made to seem more modern in the early 00s). I had something that made Windows 3.1 look like Windows 95, I even had something that made Windows 98 look just like Mac OS 8 (no shit, it layered over windows and everything flawlessly).

    I had every version of Mandrake Linux and several versions after the rename.

    Tonnns of software to extend the life of 16 bit hardware.

    I still have several screeners in 240p from the early 2000s with the audience moving around and laughing in them.

    I have a decent collection of Nirvana bootlegs I downloaded from FTP servers way back in the day.

    Man I miss the old internet. I’m getting old and that’s part of it I guess.

    I find myself hoarding on the Steam Deck desktop too. Something about having a wide open file system just brings that impulse out in me.
