Yeah. I've got my TVs audio out running to a usb audio in, then I use an app called audio hijack to lightly EQ that and send it straight out to my DAC/amp. Then I mute the in-game music and play my own music on the computer. It's a little convoluted but it works! And there's nothing more fun than playing Wipeout or Need for Speed with my own drum and bass playlist d-_-b

Yes we should've just not told anyone why millions of people died. That woulda helped with the anxiety, sure. Refrigerated trucks and ice rinks full of corpses because morgues couldn't keep up, nothing to see here.

The whole damn project blows my mind with the level of engineering involved. Not just how advanced the technology of the device itself is, but how perfectly it went off. The launch was so perfect it saved on manoeuvring (I hate spelling that word) fuel and extended its lifespan by many years. The extremely delicate origami unfolding process, with 344 single points of failure any one of which would have completely scrapped the mission, went off without a hitch. It coasted 1.5 million kilometres and ended up exactly in Earth's second Lagrange point, like throwing a basketball really hard from Toronto and hitting nothing but net in Vancouver. The only thing that went wrong was basically an act of god, one mirror segment got dinged with a 0.1mm micrometeoroid, which has barely had an effect on overall performance.

Humans can do some amazing stuff when we put our heads together. We seem to waste a lot of our talent fighting over black organic goop and old holy books though...
