This is a very, very good game.

That sucks, did not know, happy I am that both my Beyerdynamics and audio technica headphones are still repairable though. At least majority of parts.

If you already have another pair or buds, I would just use them instead for scenarios outside of your working/gaming place, because there will be compromises.

I can't recommend much, but I also have Anker Space Q45, they are closed, have optional jack cable connection, Bluetooth with LDAC (high Bitrate Bluetooth codec), quality is OK and sound is not bad, they do have very good active noise canceling. If I had to choose only one pair, I would check them out. It's just that if you mostly game an Kosten music by computer, Beyerdynamics DT 990 a lre on another level of l quality, longevity and), comfort and sound.

Beyerdynamic DT 990 are about 150, nice open headphones. Both people with requests to sound and casual listeners enjoy (me and my wife as example). They are built very well. My pair is 12 years old and as new when I replace ear pads. They do have very high level of sound quality and detail, hard to beat in leven double price range. I play games, listen and create music in them, due to mindful construction and open back they can be worn for a long time. Sound is open, crisp, with a lot of highs and pretty detailed. If you don't have anything to drive them, take 80ohm. If you need more volume or better sound, consider cheap, good sounding digital audio converter (DAC) and amplifier - check FIIO brand for example, ka11 (40$) is good and very portable, I also use it with my steam deck. But there are other models cheaper.

Sennheisers have a lot of good pairs, but I cannot recommend anything from expirience, Audio Technica is Japanese company and their headphones are good sounding, but a lot of their headphones are fragile.

Overall aim for open headphones as they are better when you wear them for long periods like during gaming. And use return policy to your advantage.

I still question myself why did not I try it before as it changed my quality of waiting on different places like public transport by large margin:

Try turn based games with Lemuroid (frontend for emulators on android). No gamepad required, always in your pocket, everything works out of the box.


I'm playing psp Valkyria Chronicles and it is great. Such games are perfect format for phone, as anything where reaction and precision is necessary needs gamepad. And you either need to own a retro dedicated handheld and take it with you, or (if you have one) take cumbersome Steamdeck like handheld, which is not feasible for 30 minutes ride.

Did not know about such possibility, very useful. Thank you!

Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 (1995), was on Sega Genesis for me.

As some other people suggested, I can also add vote to scaled, especially on subscribed communities.

I don't spend that much time on lemmy and smaller communities don't get attention in my feed otherwise. With scaled they pop up pretty often.

For others trying to find how many charges you actually get from power banks, because it turned out to be not that easy to find, especially with all these variables (see below) and a lot of misleading comments/posts/review from people who are mistaken. Sharing is caring, so please add your devices in comments.

Some thoughts for other lurkers:

  • Amper-hours depend on voltage, so 20000mAh (why not 20Ah, god damn marketing and our monkey brains) might differ from power bank to another.
  • Watt-hours (Wh) might also be a lie, according to some reviewer even known brands might sin.
  • On top you have conversion loss 80-90% roughly speaking.

I bought INIU 20000mah 65w mini P62-E1 for ~50$. It says it is 73Wh. I got exactly one charge 0-100% for my Steam Deck OLED (50Wh) while it being off.

It was as fast as wall charger and thing is small and weights 320g, which is perfect for me. Also design/surface is above what I expected. Included cable is crap and does not support 65w charging, don't ask me why. Steam deck will on repeat go full charging and then stop with that cable. I can recommend it I guess, but for sure there is something better, depends on discounts, too.

 

I was going through albums I liked before and my eyes stopped on Marilyn Manson's Holy Wood. It sounds (kudos to Dave Sardy skills I guess) incredible 25 years later. To my ears it is as fresh as it was back when I heard it first time, somewhere in 2000-2001. Almost all songs do feel great to me and this album is definitely on of my all time favorites.

I might post other songs from it later, because I like almost all of them.

[–] Oikio@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

It looks correct now.

[–] Oikio@lemmy.world 17 points 7 months ago

If society tries to suppress something that will find it's way, you will get it back, but hidden, harder to detect and maybe even changed in a harmful way.

We had it as humanity with alcohol bans, war on drugs, hateful speech bans and etc. We need systematic regulations for unavoidable, not prohibitions which will leak from all places.

Leaving it be while being explicit is reasonable.

[–] Oikio@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

Can't help here, not even tried. But I don't know if it should matter for tablet, installed stuff does not disturb you in any way and regarding your data leaking to manufacturer - same goes to other brands, too. Xiaomi launcher is fine, simple like an iPad, I would prefer it differently, but comparing tablet usage to phone - in tablet I only need to start my app (tachiyomi, draw app or jellyfin) and launcher does not matter anymore. Phone is used heavier and in more diversed way.

If you are looking for something to tinker with, it's better to look at list of supported devices of OS you are going to install. I have stopped looking into such things, can't help here either, sorry.

I have not ever heard this band until today. Fell in love in Prodigy influenced sound and Die Antwoord vibes.

Music, setup, pace and style sounds just right to my ears, it's Like I'm playing Need for Speed: Underground again for the first time if you know what I'm talking about =)

If you like Prodigy, Deftones, Maxim, Hyper, Beastie Boys and maybe some Hed P.E. or something from Rob Zombie or Kidneythieves - it might be right for you. That's the feeling I got.

First of all look at the album cover with soviet brutalism - I really like it. Not soviet union though, but the cover. ^^

Overall band's music is not something I would listen, but I liked this particular song and text. I find it hilarious that I got acquainted with this song because one youtuber mentioned it as weird choice for being a "TikTok dressing videos theme song" (what!?). And it actually is. It was funny/weird to look at silly videos while hearing these lyrics (translation from random website is below, it is quite close to the original):

Судно

Эмалированное судно
Окошко, тумбочка, кровать
Жить тяжело и неуютно
Зато уютно умирать
Эмалированное судно
Окошко, тумбочка, кровать
Жить тяжело и неуютно
Зато уютно умирать

И тихо капает из крана
И жизнь растрёпана, как блядь
Выходит, как бы, из тумана
И видит: тумбочка, кровать
И я пытаюсь приподняться
Хочу в глаза ей поглядеть
Взглянуть в глаза и разрыдаться
И никогда не умереть, никогда не умереть
Никогда не умереть, никогда не умереть
Никогда не умереть, никогда не умереть


A bedpan

A window, a nightstand, a bed
Living is hard and uncomfortable
But it is comfortable to die
An enamel bedpan
A window, a nightstand, a bed
Living is hard and uncomfortable
But it is comfortable to die

And it is quietly dripping from a faucet
And life is unkempt like a whore
It appears like out of a fog
And it sees: a nightstand, a bed
And I try to stand up
I want to look into its eyes
Look into its eyes and cry
And never die, never die
Never die, never die,
Never die, never die

I'm (was) not into such music, but these guys did it on another level. I still wonder where such level of sound work is coming from.

I love everything about this song - vibe, quality of source musical material, record and sound work, voice, texture of guitar, bass, drums, vocal and it's awesome usage of extensive tremolo effect.

It was a great song, but the way it's done in the recording in my opinion makes it awesome.

 

I still remember how I played Need for Speed and heard this one. This song has such an interesting "lone road night vibe" for me, still listen to it pretty often. I do recommend to listen to the band if this song is something you enjoyed. They are very good.

I did not expect P.O.D. to make two songs I would like this year - AFRAID TO DIE AND DROP.

Though I liked them both DROP is my favorite of two - it's more of their style from first albums. But on the other hand I do love AFRAID TO DIE and Tatiana Shmayluk from Jinjer is a really great singer. And clip is also quite enjoyable.

For anyone who did not think about it beforehand and struggled as me. You can run KDE Connect on your machine and send keyboard and mouse inputs using kde connect. Almost 0 input lag. So you can do all you need.

For me it was terminal and some work with files on dolphin (for emudeck). I'm not used to steam deck touch pads yet and using shortcuts on keyboard made everything a breeze.

You can transfer files, too, of course.
