Rant thread - share your grievances, not just audio

Needing to desperately build a new pc for work and seeing youtubers getting like 40 different 3000 series cards and AMD 5000 chips and then either doing stupid shit like overclocking, celebrity/meme builds or making gaming rigs for their friends is starting to really piss me off.

I understand this quiet thing so much. With headphones on i hear tvs on other floors much loader. My family is deaf, i swear they are. Unfortunatley i think their loud listening had also affected my hearing as i hear ringing often.

It makes me sad as out of all my senses my hearing was always great. I wear glasses, my nose comes and goes, i eat too fast to taste but my ears were always on point. Now i feel that they are being destroyed by others.

Im not desperate but im on year 6 of the ole pc. Some stock and sites get smashed so hard during drop times that even trackers/scanners dont pick up on the stock. Refreshing sites neurotically and you see the site crash at rumored drop times and come back still out of stock.

And its every part, i grabbed my phanteks case that was in stock for one day. It has a spot on it i dont like but do i wait xx months to return and restock? PSUs were sparce even before the pandemic, now i just hope i can get one.

It’s fucking nuts and like… I need power. I do boards for Children animation and freelance for independent film, which doesnt seem like you need a whole lot of power but I’m trained in video editing and was hoping to get back into that as well as animatics

I was hoping that at the very least there would be enough stock to so i could build in January but now its looking like we wont see supplies stabilize til March or April if then

Oh i understand. I need power for my profe… Who am i kidding its for gaming. But the pc is starting to not keep up. I wanted to challenge myself and do a custom loop and several emails to the water block company have gone unanswered.

Which here is my rant… a company’s contact page only having the write in submission. No phone, no email, just a text box. Do i really need to go to twitter or slide into said DMs to get a rough time frame?

yeah. Lack of responsiveness from these companies is also a big problem.

This is just sad, the online store platform that notified earlier said that the Koss KPH30i is available for you to get, and so I did visit that online store. Well after pretty much clicking the notification of it, much to my dismay, there is no stock of it available, pretty much wasted my opportunity of getting one this year. Oh well, all I could do at least is to wait for my video card since there is still no freaking stock, according to the seller and I might as well contact them tomorrow.

Something similar happened to me. Website says 5 left on stock, after I paid, says 4 left in stock.

Next day say no stock, I was furious, ask want to “upgrade” to similar price headphone (I said no, tried low balling for other expensive headphone,they said no) and ended up waiting for almost 3 weeks for it to arrive ( waiting+shipping time).

I’m surprised I haven’t ranted about my main frustrating problem with my condition until now.

So,every freaking day I have a different audio experience, every time I put on my headphones, it sounds different.

My he400i have started from sounding ear rape treble to now a pair of boring analytical headphones.

So frustrated, everything tiny thing affects me, weather, day/night, how dusty. But I guess my main problem is my nose and ears are constantly clogged, it’s just how clogged they are.

condition?

Every damn Speaker company and amp company spends all their effing time selling you their gear with Classical music, Acoustic and Classic Rock as demos. A very limited selection of Genres

Decware: Here are our rare imported speakers we sell paired with a 5k tube amp. Enjoy Shpongle.
Me: Yesssss

Shpongle is Shpongle. Seeing the name is how I learned about them too so you’re in for a treat. If you’re open to prog rock you may like them a lot
