I did a bumper sticker trade, look at this incredible bumper sticker

I've been using the same old Soniss game audio bundle for years now, but I find myself needing lots of heavy mechanical and military sound effects for OVRLRD and it's impractical to go around sourcing them individually. Does anyone know a good place to get this stuff? #gamedev

Mental State Update: laughing out loud, alone, at my own post, for the sixth time today
