Is “sweat” the term for a collective of reddit users, much in the way a murder is the term for a collective of crows?

Not always. I’ve been to a couple pumps where none of the buttons did anything. At that point I’m tempted to get a squirt gun to spray into the speakers, hope it does something useful to the speakers.
I do consider that retro since it was before my time and hadn’t heard of it til I was like 8, 9, and was well accustomed to DVDs.
Retro is anything on a cartridge or tape. Disc based media is too new and space age to be retro.
Not in the way you’re thinking of, but I do recall having seen an audio to MIDI program that takes an mp3 and builds a midi file based off the sound waves. It sounded exactly as bad as you’d expect.
There’s this Dutch fella who has a huge library of videos on YouTube where he plays these incredibly difficult custom levels for Doom. Despite the difficulty of playing them pistol start on the hardest difficulty, he’s (almost) always very calm, narrating his experiences live with a low, calming voice. Game volume is also set low, so even with tons of explosions and screaming revenants his voice takes center stage.
While he isn’t uploading gameplay videos anymore, save for user submitted levels, he was uploading daily videos for the better part of five years. There’s plenty of material. I like to put a video or two on while unwinding for bed, and once I start feeling sleepy enough I just lock my phone screen, drop the volume til I can juuuust clearly hear his voice, and fall asleep.
If I hadn’t eaten breakfast I would have felt hungry.
Not in the “hate” camp, but I’m very picky with anime. I recognize it’s a wide genre with tons of legitimately great productions.
There’s a lot of anime stuff that just irritates me for reasons I’ve not been able to put into words other than “it makes me cringe from embarrassment.” Female characters that are less an interesting or fun character and more like an endless void of cutesy vibes and nothing more, the anime pratfalls to punctuate a joke, weird creepy stuff towards women, laughably edgy characters, changing art styles to something tonally clashing for comedic effect (only example I know off the top of my head is in Hellsing Ultimate, which I’ll admit I’ve only seen in the form of the abridged series), overtly blatant fan service, all the characters being teenagers, etc. Tropes like these tend to irritate me to the point of getting in the way of my enjoyment of a show and it kills a lot of anime for me.
