Anker Soundcore Flare 2 Review: An Impressive Portable Speaker
With warm sound, good volume, competitive pricing, and useful extras, Anker’s Soundcore Flare 2 is an impressive midrange portable speaker.
Because the original 2015 CD pressings are out of print, some collectors have created "needle drops"—recording the analog output of the rare 180-gram vinyl pressing into a 24-bit FLAC. These are exclusive because they introduce natural analog warmth, vinyl crackle, and the specific frequency response of the mastering lathe used in 2015.
"Gunship Gunship 2015 FLAC Exclusive" most likely denotes a lossless-file edition of Gunship’s 2015 debut that is presented as a special or limited release. FLAC ensures lossless fidelity but only reflects the quality of its source; “exclusive” may mean official deluxe/mastered editions or unofficial/bootleg variants. For sound quality, provenance, and legality, prefer official channels (Bandcamp, label stores, recognized hi-res retailers) and check file metadata and mastering details to confirm authenticity.
If you want, I can:
Alex Westaway’s vocals are soaked in reverb and delay. In lossy formats, reverb tails are truncated. In FLAC, you hear the decay naturally fade into the blackness of the noise floor.
In the sprawling universe of synthwave, few debut albums have landed with the seismic impact of Gunship’s self-titled 2015 release. For nearly a decade, the record—a lush, nostalgic, yet brutally modern take on 80s action-soundtrack electronica—has served as a cornerstone of the genre. But among audiophiles and collectors, one specific format reigns supreme: the Gunship 2015 FLAC Exclusive.
This isn't just about owning a digital file. It is about experiencing the album as its creators, the UK-based trio (Dan Haigh, Alex Westaway, and Alex Gingell), intended: with uncompromising, lossless fidelity.
My longtime favourite is Solomon’s Boneyard (see also: Solomon’s Keep!). I’ll have to check out Eternium because it might be similar — you pick a wizard that controls a specific element (magic balls, lightning, fire, ice) and see how long you can last a graveyard shift. I guess it’s kind of a rogue-lite where you earn upgrades within each game but also persistent upgrades, like magic rings and additional unlockable characters (steam, storm, fireballs, balls of lightning, balls of ice, firestorm… awesome combos of the original elements.)
I also used to enjoy Tilt to Live, which I think is offline too.
Donut county is a fun little puzzle game, and Lux Touch is mobile risk that’s played quickly.
Fun
Thank you great list. My job entails hours a day in an area with no internet and with very little to do. Lol hours of bordom, minutes of stress seconds of shear terror !
Some of these are going to be life savers!
I hope these help get you through! 😁
I’ve put hours upon hours into Fallout Shelter. You build a Fallout Shelter and add rooms to it Electric, Water, Food, and if you add a man and woman to a room they will have a baby. The baby will grow up and you can add them to an area to help with the shelter. Outsiders come and attack if you take them out sometimes you can loot the body to get new weapons. There’s a lot more to it but thats kind of sums it up. Thank you for the list I’m down loading some now!
Oh man, I spent so much time on Fallout Shelter a few years ago! Very fun game — thanks for the reminder!
