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.
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.
I’m using a set of klipsch 4.1’s as we speak, and used to drive them with an Audigy 2.
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.
I think there’s some nuance there too. I’m not keen on the idea of my facebook messages, or google chats, or private emails, things like that going into other peoples hands (regardless of how much I can do to stop it), but purely ad-based stuff doesn’t bother me. I’m gonna be seeing ads for something, and whether or not they’re things google or amazon think I might want doesn’t really change the equation for me.
However, I do hold it to be true people should be in control of that if they want to. I feel like the choice is important.
This is really a “it takes all kinds” moment for me. I can’t think of a mechanic I dislike more than weapon durability. It makes me feel like I have to “save” my good weapon and only use it for boss fights or something.
In a way, it’s cool to hear how and why someone loves it, even if I don’t relate.

Ok, what server is causing this nonsense? Is it the one I’m on, lemmy.ml?
Man, I’m sorry to hear that’s your experience. I guess some folks simply refuse to be understanding.
I think it’s important to bear in mind that some of those things are what neurotypical folks, I guess you could call them, use to convey interest or disinterest. Eye contact is a way to express interest, and helps to show one is intently listening to the speaker. Conversely, frequently glancing away is kind of the body language equivalent of giving short “uh huh” type answers when one is trying to disengage from a conversation.
My point isn’t that you should feel bad about struggling with these nuances; I just think it’s worth mentioning that some of those negative reactions you may have experienced just has to do with expectations in body language. It’s not that someone who’s neurodivergent is being an asshole, it’s just that they’re sending out signals we’re otherwise used to interpreting as disinterest, and that is (often) off-putting.
Again, it’s not something to feel bad about, it’s just communicating on different wavelengths so-to-speak. Sort of like a language/culture difference.
Thanks a bunch!
Vivecraft mod for Minecraft
Can’t overstate how great it is if you’re into Minecraft. Stepping into the world gives such a difference sense of scale to things.
It’s worth keeping track of the universal unreal vr mod in development. I realize this post says “yet”, and this is still in development, but they’ve mentioned a release this year and it should open up a ton of great games.
This is intriguing. Are we talking about 3D youtube vids here?
Man, I haven’t played through Myst since… the original Myst. I heard that Firmament was a bit of a letdown, but I really should go back and play Myst in VR. Thanks for the reminder!
You can, and I’m doing that right now. Logged into lemmy.ml through their site. However, I can see how one might be hesitant to log in through a 3rd party like this. It does look really nice, but I do wish it had a light mode as well.
Man, when I was getting into photography, that site was the holy grail of hardware decisions. It’d be a big loss if it went away, so this is great to hear.
Spotify supports this already (between any devices you’re logged into), and it’s suuuuuuuuuuuper nice. This is gonna be an excellent QoL upgrade.
