there’s no lemmy alternative yet but /r/movie suggestions had been real great for me so far. I’ve watched so many good films that I wouldn’t had if I didn’t saw it there.

Particularly Coherence, The Man from Earth, Brick, etc.

What are these dampers you speak of?

Full on speakers, around 50% to 80% on IEMs/headphones; depends on the max volume I can do without getting tinnitus.
