  • That is way too expensive for a product like this, that also might not work for its intended use (if their nose isn’t fully covered like in the picture, I’d expect the screaming to leak out quite a bit. Might’ve worked for my idea of using it for call privacy (speaking softly) but still that’s way too much for something that’ll probably only be useful for that niche use-case.

    I don’t speak on Voice chat though, mainly because many gamers online are racist (and sexist) pigs. Back in the day I did used to use TeamSpeak to talk to others in games and they both be racist toward me, and make fun of my voice saying I sound like a girl.

    So, text only from now on, if reading is too hard especially with spelling mstakes if I’m doing it quickly in game, fuck them.

    I do think this could have some use for me though, particularly with private calls which I’d prefer other people to not hear the other side of, though it’s still very hard to justify it since it just looks way too silly.


  • Why do we want to save these people from bans? They need to be removed from the community, if from society altogether. Better for them to say it out loud than to think it quietly, otherwise these people will quietly ruin our lives one step at a time and we won’t realize it as they’re doing it.





  • You could also just use a VGA or DVI to HDMI on a compatible card which supports DOS, you’ll have to pump in external sound but that’s already the case on Most Dos machines who’s soundcard is external, and since DOS and its software library doesn’t exactly support modern soundcard standards.




  • I’ve also seen people collectively losing their shit in the Terraria Steam forums for the past few weeks because 1.4.5 will remove the ♂ and ♀ symbols from the character creator. Many of the people who are angry are claiming that Terraria “went woke” and it’s “gonna go broke”. It’s only fairly recently started to die down, but I imagine it’ll pick back up again when the update drops.

    Yeah these people really are inecredibly delusional if they think games like Baldur’s Gate 3 and Terraria are going broke.


  • Ah, yeah. That’ll definitely do it. Not that much that can be done to protect it from that (maybe a case like the dbrand Killswitch would save it, not sure, not about to test it on mine).

    At least it’s relatively easy to repair, and I’ve also heard valve will accept repairs as well.





  • This is why we need better resource/battery management services with Magisk or Xposed integration. On my phone the Rom has one integrated already, lets you set apps to be prevented from running in the background completely, preventing tracking, annoying notifications, and battery usage. Though unfortunately these types of tools aren’t available on all roms, and they really need root or system access to be effective.
