...before this account dies.

Sorry for being so dramatic, but since my instance is closing down, i'll quickly give away some GoG codes I have lying around.

Just mention which game you would want (and make sure you intend to play it) and also write one or two lines about some good gaming memories you would like to share.

One game per account and account must be more than a week old.

Oh, I was going to say you know a higher grade of audiophile than I do, but then I remembered that no I have met one. He had installed what was in effect a powerwall with supercaps and was generating his own waves through. His speakers cost more than my car, individually. I want to say Palladium Studio References. Wow yep. Thanks for that little blast from the musty vaults of deep memory... Well a 10 minute conversation 20ish years ago and a lot of "Ohs" and "Ahs" at his photo album.

Actually I am misremembering, apparently capacitors are bad for audio, so to get the best you have to have chunky inductors and circuitry to do powerfctor correction to get a PF of 1. I was remembering big chunky power conditioners that look like batteries but are actually huge iron core inductors. They get your audio equipment "closer" to the power generation, which "improves your soundscape". I'm sure he was using the stupid crazy priced audiophile powercords as well.
