I'm glad that I managed to recover a lot of pictures that my parents took and stored on CDs.

These memories would have been lost to time otherwise

Hit boxes for vehicles weren't great in general, but the ltv was the worst one

If you ever wondered why the ltv sucked to drive in Crysis 2 this is why...

For some reason they put this large hit box on the front THAT LITERALLY GETS STUCK ON EVERYTHING

I miss when the goal of technology was to connect us with each other and give us tools to express ourselves better

Today technology feels more like a machine designed to harvest on our souls so they can generate more AI slop

Crysis 2 but the nanosuit uses comic sans

I feel like I unintentionally come across like this sometimes due to being autistic

I am sorry if that's the case xwx

I see some of the genuinely evil shit people say online sometimes and it has me feeling like this so I understand

Monitor arm cable covers are terrable, they always break when you want to take them off I swear. It is possible to make ones that don't break instantly, manufacturers just choose not to

At work half of the cable covers are held on with tape for this reason

It's not surprising Crytek didn't release DirectX 11 features with Crysis 2 back in the day

The Editor becomes extremely unstable the moment you enable DX11 in the config spec

The base game works fine, but just trying to even see what my mod looks like in DX11 is difficult -w-;

These Vixlim TVs were so cool aesthetically though, I wish we got them xwx

We did get SlimFit TVs from Samsung and I own a couple I found locally. They really pushed CRT technology as far as they could to compete with LCDs.

They slimed down the deflection angle of the electron gun and managed to get CRTs to only 16 inches in depth!

Believe it or not, we could have had slim CRTs into the 2010s if Samsung released Vixlim TVs, but they were only ever on a show floor.

I did fix it afterwards though! ^^

Repost of that one time I blew up a Trinitron after soldering a capacitor in the wrong polarity because I was tired -w-;

I actually haven't got the chance to test a lot of these, so idk yet XD Did test this one though, lowest it went was 480p

Wish I still had my CRT with Pokemon stickers all over it

Yeeee

The sound will be used for this big boy #finaldaysmod

The lithoship moaning sound is one of the coolest and most memorable sounds in the game to me. It's also one of the few sounds in the game that has more than 2 audio channels, it literally plays around the you!

For reference this is the sound I attempted to recreate
