Audio equipment. Started as someone who collected a bunch of budget king IEMs and have been slowly creeping my way up in cost ;-;


Elden Ring m&k was a million times better of an experience than original Dark Souls on m&k. What a nightmare.

I think I just expect metroidvanias to feel snappy and robust, and Convergence on m&k did not live up to that standard.


As someone who almost always plays mouse and keyboard on PC, I had a few struggles with Convergence feeling like it was made console-first.

I understand why, but it just makes me want to go play Hollow Knight or something.


I don’t really understand the purpose of showing FSR2 vs FXAA/MSAA with still frames… FSR2 struggles most with motion and thin/dense high-contrast areas, none of which are showcased in the screenshots, so of course FSR2 is going to look better.


You know, BG3 is a great experience overall, but I don’t think it’s a great gaming experience. I’ve experienced at least a handful of softlocks that forced me to rewind a decent amount of playtime… and I don’t really think I’m playing in a way that should break the game.


Same, I do all of my browsing here but still look up things like “baldurs gate 3 quest/item/enemybugged reddit” because it’s the only place I can find answers, outside of the occasional steam forum post.


At 1440p my 6750XT is really chugging through power (~210W peak), but temps are staying low. It’s pretty interesting, but I prefer to limit the game to 75fps to save a bit on power.


I was back in high school with my late friend who shared a first name with me. I kept wanting to tell him or show him things that I think he would find interesting, and we kept getting interrupted by everything else.

I’ve processed my grief and have come to terms with the reality that is a world without him in it, but sometimes my brain just likes to remind me, I guess. Miss you Goose, thanks for coming by.



I think when this tech is matured it will just another standard procedure, but from the current state of forensics it’s pretty wild to think about regardless. It’s kind of scary, but it also kind of feels like organic progression.


Android user here, and I think this is a pretty pointless comment.

They already explicitly mentioned how they can’t convince their social circle to use anything but first-party messaging. It’s like if someone says “I couldn’t convince my friends to go to the movie theater” and I were to respond with “who the hell still goes to the movies??? I just watch from my plex server and invite everyone to my house to watch movies.” Aka, it’s a non-answer.


I used to fail just to cast YouTube to my TV on android for random reasons. It would take a couple tries. Now, first try every time.

This is an interesting situation because my household has the exact opposite problem, where Android phones cast YouTube to the TV seamlessly and Apple phones take a solid 15-30 seconds to recognize the TV at all (Roku SmartTV).


I remember hearing that Yelp blocks Tor users, but I’m not sure if that is the case through proxies.

Also iirc Cloudflare blocks all Tor exits.


I want to watch Mitch McConnell’s brain melt on livestream

This is, in zoomer speak, based.


A bit off topic, but is this dev unironically using thin, light gray text on a white background?


Piggybacking your comment to mention that for single player games on PC, setting CheatEngine’s “speedhack” to 0x multiplier will effectively pause many games, albeit this does eventually crash some games.

I use it on a toggle hotkey to go get water, let the dogs out, take out my laundry, sign for a delivery, etc. when playing games with no pause system.


…do you really think the devs of these systems don’t understand how to distinguish VMs from authentic devices in their device authenticating platform?


I felt this way for a while on the website that is a reverse of “tidder.”

But then I realized engagement is visibility, visibility is awareness, and awareness drives change. Best we can do is upvote and add to the dissenting thoughts in the comments.


There are a lot of test proctoring services that only work on chrome that are required by schools/universities too. I hate the services, but I don’t want to fail my exams, and these online tests/proctoring services are getting more and more common post-pandemic-isolation.
