We always buy a new board game to play with the family at Christmas. What nobody knows is that I buy two copies and spend a couple of months studying tactics and memorising answers. Every year I beat them hands down; it's worth the expense of buying two games.

For the first time since September of 2019, FX Radio lives again!
What is FX Radio?
Basically, it's a stream with a stack of three media players shuffling through a huge collection of royalty free sound effects, music, and sometimes other odd things.
Essentially, it's audible streaming chaos, and a possible drug substitution if you are so inclined.
There are still some things to be tweaked, so it may randomly disappear from time to time, but we here at NoiseBox HQ are mostly happy with how it's working so far, streaming live from a computer under @BorrisInABox's mom's desk, and she has no idea it's there.
More features will be added in the coming days, hopefully.
There is no website or anything fun like that, just a stream URL.

Wow, I'm old enough to remember the calls for packaging standardization (with cdbs being a failed attempt at that). That graph makes it look like we're almost there!
I'm still amazed this place actually existed...⬇️Download for Java AND Bedrock! https://www.patreon.com/posts/kowloon-walled-137265831?utm_medium=clipboard_c...
