Spotify supports this already (between any devices you’re logged into), and it’s suuuuuuuuuuuper nice. This is gonna be an excellent QoL upgrade.

On a related note, does anyone know of cases with a headphone jack built into it? It seems like an obvious thing to make, but I’ve only seen them mentioned for iPhone.

The main thing for me is simply that the audio connector doesn’t pull out nearly as easily as USB-c. Secondary is the fact that I prefer things that don’t need to be charged.

I use wireless buds at work, but whenever I’m home, I prefer to use wired headphones. It’s definitely a different strokes for different folks situation.

Chicken just isn’t gonna need to be that precise. It’s not an ingredient that mixes with others in that way. That being said, chicken is an item that most recipes would mention by weight. Nobody is going to actually weigh out the chicken; they’ll just go with a close measurement, or use potentially use the packaging it came in for reference.

Pretty sure the lens flare was just added in photoshop. As far as the “tele lens” goes, I think that’s just a semantics thing. I agree that shooting straight into the sun like that would make it impossible to get that exposure.

I’m curious what game. My feeling is it must be something with a constantly changing economy?

Curious what would have happened if you just stopped at $30 up (also remember, $ before the number; ¢ after)

Was the $30 paid into your account, or in the form of a check or something?

I think they mean concepts like morning and evening, or day and night would remain. The difference would be that in London, midnight would be 12:00am, but in San Fransisco, midnight would be… 16:00 / 4:00pm. Each timezone would have to adjust the numbers, in the same way the southern hemisphere considers January to be in the summer.

Not at all a solution, but worth mentioning that in a YouTube URL you can replace /shorts/ with /v/ and get the normal player for the same video.

Man, I just didn’t get Little Inferno. Glad some folks enjoyed it, maybe I just didn’t understand what to do really? Oddly enough, the theme song pops in my head sometimes.

You’ll learn pretty quickly how just aperture affects a photo, in how much depth of field you have. The part that’s more nuanced is figuring how zoom plays into that as well. Zoom also compresses the depth in a shot, so to speak. The most extreme version you’ll see is towns with mountains towering above them that seem like they’re in the back yard, but there’s really a ton of distance. It just looks almost flat because the photographer is using a really long lens.

There are apps/calculators that will give you the depth of field for any given focal length and aperture, but I found it to be a lot of trial and error when learning how the various settings work together.

I’m using a set of klipsch 4.1’s as we speak, and used to drive them with an Audigy 2.

It also has a light mode now. I know that was a drawback for some folks when it was first being mentioned.

Man, I find it to be unsettling. Maybe it’s hooking into a sort of auditory uncanny valley, or maybe it’s just knowing that it’s all “fake”. The way different portions of the song are mashed together, missing a beat, is sorta interesting. It’s like pasting together text a piece at a time, only it’s missing the paragraph breaks and instead if just mashed together.

I read that any NPC/Quest that required this before will now be visible to living players. I think in the case of the BRD one, the NPC will himself appear as a ghost to living players.

My man!

Hawken

I still feel like this had one of the best atmospheres in gaming. Something about it felt so visceral. I had such high hopes of playing it in VR eventually, but by the time VR really came out, Hawken was already dying away.

Chopper Commando on the PC Jr and River Raid on the Atari 2600 were my first gaming loves.

Point to your credit here: it’s illegal in this state to pay less than minimum wage whether the employee is tipped or not. ALL workers make at least $15.74/hr here, except for 14 and 15 year olds who can be paid 80% of minimum wage.

The S in MSRP is “suggested”, so I don’t see any technical problem with it. I think we need a separate term if it’s meant to be a locked price point across sellers.
