At work. Corporate web based software doesn’t always play nice in firefox.

That’s what I have. Think they’re Sennheisers gaming brand. Been pretty happy with them.

I’ll give it a try for the ride home in a couple days.
- Comment on Modding the Gulf of Mexico Back 2 weeks ago:
I tried this on a trip a couple days ago and had to go back to Google. It wasn’t giving me street names or exits in the navigation. It’d say take the next right instead of take exit 17 for example. Completely missed a fork and didn’t tell me which way to go. Google has issues too but first impressions for organic was not positive.
- Comment on no words, much feelings 3 weeks ago:
Water is a basic human right. You think $20 is going to water fountains? Its probably half a cent of your taxes.
As for what was the op, its probably nothing in taxes as the company plans to make money off the chilled and filtered to offset the cost of installing the units. The government your taxes pay for probably mandated the free tap to let them install them.
- Comment on no words, much feelings 3 weeks ago:
They have those at a lot of parks that I take my dogs to in my state in the US too. Usually free poop bags too, and yet half still can’t be bothered.
- Comment on BioWare quietly lay off key Dragon Age team members while talking up the next Mass Effect 5 weeks ago:
How the fuck did my favorite developer of the 360 era end up being a company I don’t even care if they stay open or ever release another game.
Oh right, EA.
- Comment on Do you want the murderer of the UnitHealthcare CEO prosecuted? 2 months ago:
- Pretty sure one can hang the jury. In that case they’d probably retry him. All 12 would have to agree to aquit.
- Comment on Can’t upgrade your PC to Windows 11? Buy a new one, is Microsoft’s laughable solution 4 months ago:
Mine too. I tried 11 and went back to 10. Honestly, only thing keeping me on Windows currently is my plex*arr servers. Guess I have a year to figure out docker.
- Comment on Kroger executive admits company gouged prices above inflation 6 months ago:
Why break them up when you can just let them get bigger. I’d bet my job the fucking merger is still happening.
- Comment on California Votes To Approve $150K In Taxpayer-Funded Home Loans For Illegal Aliens 6 months ago:
Assemblyman Joaquin Arambula (D-Calif.), the author of the bill, has claimed that the legislation would still require applicants to meet federal requirements, which includes providing either taxpayer identification or a Social Security number, both of which are things that illegals are generally not supposed to have.
So which is it? Helping illegals get a home, or helping those that are legal according to the federal government?
- Comment on Current best lemmy clients 6 months ago:
Same. But mark read has been broken for a while and at $20+ for no ads or ultra dev really needs to be on top of these updates to justify the price. My ultra expired a few weeks ago, but I’m not paying again unless he stops treating this like reddit. Reddit was pretty stable so didn’t mind the long gaps with no updates. But at 5x the cost …update
- Comment on No Rest for the Wicked - The Crucible Update Trailer 7 months ago:
Its currently on sale. Recent reviews haven’t been as good as initial ones though. People are mentioning it has wait mechanics like mobile games where it takes like an hour of real time to do something. I’m still interested in it, but will probably wait for it to get out of early access.
- Comment on [deleted] 8 months ago:
Depends on whether they start making shows with ad breaks in mind. Because the cut where the ad was, while not nearly as annoying as an actual ad, still diminishes the quality of the show imo.
- Comment on Suicide Squad Cost Warner Bros. $200 Million In Revenue 9 months ago:
So basically the single player offline game made bank, but they keep pushing this live service crap thinking it’s going to be the next GTA online and not what 90% of the live service crap ends up being.
- Comment on Independent auditors confirm top VPN doesn't log your data 10 months ago:
If you need to ask, you probably don’t know enough to keep yourself anonymous. But it starts with tails, tor and not doing anything stupid like reusing user names that you use on the clear web or signing into something like Facebook. If a nation state has reason to find out who you are, they most likely will. All it takes is one little mistake that you most likely didn’t even know was a mistake.
- Comment on Can homeless people be fined for sleeping outside? A rural Oregon city asks the US Supreme Court 10 months ago:
Great idea. But jails are expensive, you have guards and such you have to pay. Maybe a small house, like a tiny one. Where they can come and go, and maybe find a job and start paying taxes.
- Comment on Face masks made ‘little to no difference’ in preventing spread of COVID: study 10 months ago:
Masking and other precautions killed a strain of the flu. bloomberg.com/…/covid-killed-yamagata-type-b-flu-…
Imagine, if there weren’t so many anti maskers and vaccine deniers we possibly could have killed covid as well.
- Comment on The deepest sinkhole in Florida has a deadly secret. Here’s why you should stay away 10 months ago:
So why should I stay away? Is it because a couple of divers dies? Or maybe because it’s on private property and you aren’t going to tell me where it is. But how do I know where to avoid if you don’t tell me?
- Comment on $70 titles are doomed to go “the way of the dodo” says Saber Interactive CEO 10 months ago:
I have ads blocked everywhere, so I don’t know if BG3 had traditional advertising. I do know they focused a lot on the voice actors with YouTube stuff like them playing table top D&D.
- Comment on $70 titles are doomed to go “the way of the dodo” says Saber Interactive CEO 10 months ago:
The article doesn’t really say pricing will go up. Just that the current AAA $70 isn’t sustainable. Even says he doesn’t want to sell their next game at $70, but is afraid of it being perceived as a lower quality game if cheaper. I think hellblade 2 will be a good test if a cheaper game price is seen as a negative. Personally, I loved 1, with their AA idea. Which is just AAA quality, in a shorter length. After the first hellblade, I was really hoping we’d see more high quality games releasing at different price ranges. Seems only indies, really move away from $70 though. I just beat immortals of avalon on ps+, and I think that would have been a perfect example of a game that should have released at $40. It wasn’t worth $70, but was a pretty fun experience for the right price.
- Comment on New Quest apps will be unable to support Oculus Quest 1 headsets from May 11 months ago:
I have a rift s and was already fed up with Facebook so wasn’t buying a quest anyway. This just confirms that Facebook sucks and will not be the headset I get next. Hopefully the psvr2 pc support is actually coming and works well.
- Comment on 32°N’s liquid-lens sunglasses transform into reading glasses with a swipe 11 months ago:
Cool tech, but $850. Makes me wonder though how long before vr tech makes it to prescription glasses. A pair of glasses that can eye track where you’re looking, determine the distance of your focus and adjust the prescription to be able to see clearly at all times would be awesome.
- Comment on Sony Reportedly Pauses PlayStation VR2 Production to Clear Backlog of Unsold Units 11 months ago:
I agree that the headset needs to work on pc. That’s what has kept me from buying one and sticking with the rift s currently. But the ps5 game wise is so much better than the Xbox. There’s no reason to buy an Xbox if you have a pc. Sony has quite a few excellent exclusives. They’re starting to come to pc as well which is nice, but they’re still on console first and not everything makes the jump to pc.
- Comment on Skull And Bones is Ubisoft's "biggest open world" and cutting the campaign was vital, says former creative director 1 year ago:
“Building a solo campaign is really time-consuming,” Pellen comments in the piece. “We didn’t have the full team to deliver a full solo campaign.” She later adds: “Instead of working on a solo campaign that would have prevented the team from creating a really deep open world, we built lore that can be consumed like a puzzle in the order you want.”
Lmao. One of the biggest publishers in the business can’t create a campaign in the 10 years this has been in development. So sounds like pirate themed destiny without a story.
- Comment on DC AG infuriates residents after saying city 'cannot prosecute and arrest' out of crime crisis: 'Madness' 1 year ago:
And it’s being portrayed as we should stop arresting and prosecuting criminals, instead of what what meant. Which I quoted, and was on the posted article.
- Comment on Commercials Are Streaming’s New Norm, and Creators Aren’t Happy: “It’s Almost Worse Than Broadcast” 1 year ago:
Oh I know. Having issues with my plex server, so I’m currently subscribed to Disney/Hulu, Netflix, paramount & max. Paramount is straight trash, so many issues. Max won’t save my play history half of the time, one show it won’t even put in the continue watching section so I have to search for it every time. Shouldn’t have to deal with all this crap when you’re paying for it.
- Comment on DC AG infuriates residents after saying city 'cannot prosecute and arrest' out of crime crisis: 'Madness' 1 year ago:
“Prosecution, however, by definition, takes place after a crime has occurred, and to truly make the District safer, we need to focus on stopping crime before it happens in the first place,” he added. “Prevention efforts cannot replace effective policing and prosecution, but are equally necessary in order to make D.C. safer now and in the long run.”
Typical conservative spin. Take a sentence out of context. And then get enraged.
