Honestly the less you know and the less you think about any meat you’re eating in general, the more enjoyable it is.

Woof. I haven’t had nearly the same adventures in meat as you have, but I can say that duck tongue is gross.

Those words in that order are a pretty wild ride.

Fun fact: the word “galaxy” has the root of “milk” in it. It’s dairy all the way down.

I grew up with science classes telling us always state the digits individually. One point three two.

I’m so tired of capitalism.

My hiccup remedy is to take a moderately deep breath, then say, out loud, “Now” right before you hiccup again.

Usually, the control and attention keep it from happening again. I’ve had many people do this and just go, “oh, I guess they went away…” 👀

Hell yes.

It makes me so mad that Namco patented load screen minigames for long enough that load screens have kinda gotten scarce and short enough that we don’t need the time waster anymore.

Assjowl?

Fair point. They basically did it with Windows 8 (engineering-wise), but that was even longer ago than the Surface Pro.

The actual hardware is irrelevant to their success unless they can pull off a Surface Pro type of innovative market lead (which we all know they can’t do anymore).

The only thing that matters is the ecosystem. Make every Windows machine an Xbox. Make the OS lean and portable. Run the same OS and games on PCs, laptops, handhelds, and set-top boxes. That’s it. Then console generations are obsolete and Sony is playing catch up.

My stepson asks all kinds of questions like this and highly scientific pedantry is my go-to move.

“Technically if you were invisible, your retinas would stop working, so I’d go with flight.”

Seriously. They were the sweet spot for me. Still haven’t found what I would use when I need to replace them, but I may end up receiving a free pair of AirPods Pro, so I guess free-and-passable wins.

What use cases?

For gaming, the Steelseries Arctis GameBuds have been pretty fantastic so far. Great audio, great battery life, and an included USB-C dongle for 2.4 GHz audio.

I have been a big fan of Jabra earbuds, but they’ve left that market entirely so I wouldn’t personally recommend buying them. It doesn’t bode well for long-term support. The Elite 10 I think is their last consumer true wireless set.

I’m actually surprised the BB is only 90 Hz. I’m not that much of a stickler for it, but I get it.

I actually spend a lot more time on PSVR2 than Index these days, and when I do switch back to Index, I kinda miss some of the features.

If money is no object, I think the current best arrangement is probably something like a Bigscreen Beyond with Audio Strap, Index controllers, and the requisite lighthouses. But that’s about $1600 compared to the PSVR2, which was on sale for $350 over the holidays. PSVR2 games are generally more polished, but you also don’t have the bonkers modding scene like PCVR does. You can run PSVR2 on the PC now, but most of the best features stop working. So there really isn’t a perfect solution.

Chiming in. The teaser trailer was mediocre at best and I was expecting the worst. The game is fucking phenomenal.
