  How much more specific do I need to be when I explicitly say "USB-C headphones"? What do you think USB-C stands for?

  You could've done a single web search yo find that you can buy wired headphones that go straight into the USB-C port.No dongle required. But you're too busy foaming from the mouth like a rabid dog to even understand what I said.

  You know you've got not argument when you have to compare a $700 dollar phone to a $5 dongle for your argument to even make sense.

  First of all, I seriously doubt any $700 phone without a 3.5mm port is going to have a decent DAC, because there's no reason for it. In those phones the DAC is used primarily for phone calls. If those phones had a a 3.5mm port and they were flagship phones then maybe they would have higher quality DACs in them, but then they'd also cost more. And secondly, I wasn't talking about some cheap $5 dongle, I specifically said quality headphones.

  Then maybe don't make examples of something I never talked about? I think I've been very clear that I'm talking about replacing 3.5mm headphones with a USB-C headphones. I wasn't talking about replacing a 3.5mm in/out cable with some kind of a USB-C in, 3.5mm out cable. Such a cable would have to contain a DAC and if it's going to contain a DAC you might as well buy a USB hub with a 3.5mm out port so you can continue using your 3.5mm in/out cable while you also charge your phone. See, how that's a completely different scenario with a completely different solution?

  You have headphones on in your car, listening to music, while you're driving? I hope you've checked your local laws because that is illegal in quite a few countries. It's also a very niche example as most people would use the car stereo instead of headphones.

  How often do you charge your phone and listen to music at the same time? And is that really something you cannot compromise on?

  Okay? Literally nothing you said applies to USB-C headphones. Except for this part:

  The simplicity of simply plugging them in and it just works is something really abstract to alternatives.

  Fair enough, feel free to buy USB-C headphones then.

  I don't follow? If you mean simplicity in terms of ease of use you might as well use BT headphones as you don't have to worry about any wire management. Ease of use is the main reason BT headphones are the go to for most people. No carefully packing the wires so it won't break, no accidental wiring mess or anything wire related. You just turn them on (which for most in-ear ones just means taking them out of the case), stick them to your ear and you're good to go.

  If you meant anything else by simplicity you need to expand that idea.

  Honestly, I don't really get the people who complain about the lack of 3.5mm jack on a smartphone. If you're looking for quality you're more likely to get better quality out quality USB-C headphones than quality 3.5mm headphones due to the USB-C headphones picking up less noise and having its own DAC (which is probably better than the phone DAC that 3.5mm would use).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Monster Hunter Wilds game reviews hit "Overwhelmingly Negative" on Steam — can Capcom turn it around?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I don't think it eats away the faith. Capcom fixes the performance and endgame before the next release, everyone remembers only the final product. Capcom releases a poorly optimized game with bad endgame. It's a massive hit. Eventually people start complaining. Capcom fixes the game and the cycle continues.

  People could've learned from the launch of World but people remember only the final update and final update World is great.

  Larian probably wouldn't have turned it down if Hasbro hadn't fired pretty much everyone who worked with Larian on BG3. Sven Vincke (CEO of Larian) seems like the kind of guy who would take such an action personally, which is probably why he doesn't want to work with Hasbro again and rightfully so, fuck Hasbro.

  to somewhat defend Bungie, you can't own an art style. The person whose work Bungie ripped off has a case for the specific assets that are clearly her (I think the artist was a woman?) work. However assets that are inspired by her work but aren't exactly her work is completely fair.

  But that actually makes Bungies situation even worse because they don't even know how many artists they might've ripped off. Could be just this one, could be five, could be a dozen. They don't know. IMO serves them right because they clearly don't learn from their mistakes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Borderlands 4 Price Has Been Confirmed⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I've had a similar response.I was kinda ready to accept the new price but then they started pushing an even higher price so I got an opposite reaction where stars would have to align for me to care about any game over 60 and even 60 is pushing my willingness to pay.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨As The Outer Worlds 2 hits $80, director says "we don't set the prices for our games" and wishes "everybody could play" Obsidian's new RPG⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Them: "we don't set the price".

  You: "I'll buy it if you set a lower price".

  So people don't even read the headlines anymore?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What game has the best tutorial, in your opinion?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I was coming here to mention Dark Souls. It's an excellent example of how to make a tutorial not feel like a tutorial. Either you take the time to understand what the game is telling you or not, up to you. Don't care about going through the entire tutorial area? Just beat the boss and start the real adventure.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Los Angeles Police Department shot an Australian reporter with a rubber bullet while she was live on TV. Zero provocation.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I was watching Hasan being at the protests to get a sense of what is actually going on and a European left a comment on his video that succinctly put the US police into perspective.

  As a European I don't get how the police is just shooting rubber bullets instantly, why do they not have riot shields and water throwers and such, it seems so uncivilised.

  And that pretty much sums up the cops in the US. They're just uncivilized. Their idea of "deescalation" is escalation until you're too incapacitated to fight back.

  I'm in no hurry. If it comes within a year I'll be happy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We have launched a PieFed instance!⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Strictly personal reason. When the lemmy devs asked for monetary donations I voiced my concern with Lemmy.ml, which they also maintained. In response one of the devs called me a cheapskate, so I decided I'm done with Lemmy until more normal people become maintainers

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We have launched a PieFed instance!⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Hopefully voyager dev takes a look at piefed integration. I would absolutely love to get back to voyager but for me getting away from lemmy was more important than sticking to voyager.

  You can skip some fights by running past enemies, but if you're struggling with combat the best solution is to take some time to optimize your builds. The game incentivizes glass cannon builds where you generally kill mobs before they can even attack. If they can't attack you don't have to worry about dodging/partying. I won't give any build tips, those take too much effort and IMO it's more fun to figure them out yourself. But I will give some tips to make combat easier.

  If you have defensive pictos/lumina equipped swap them for damage or AP.

  Don't be scared to use color of lumina (for more lumina points) as you can get hundreds of them throughout the game. Trust me, having more lumina equipped will absolutely make the game easier

  Also don't be scared to use recoats to respec your characters, you can get plenty of recoats. Try out different skills as some of them are more useful than others.

  If you're struggling to strike first in combat equip first strike lumina on all characters. That lumina pretty much becomes mandatory in late game as even with all the speed modifiers stacked you still might not start first.

  Also invest points into agility. Agility is the main stat for speed and speed dictates how often you can attack.
