Those if you want a great mic quality but don't care about the fact that the entire headband is plastic and will probably crack after a year

Whats the dif between 80 and 250
lost python
250ohm have a smoother quality but also require something more powerful to drive them.
80 will still be more than fine for gaming

The mic i don’t Care much, But id take that into account
Its used to be 95, now its 80$

Mic is eh, build and sound quality are ok.
They are good if you can get them for 60€ or less but for more I would take other options

I can wait till Black friday

Yeah that like a fake sale because they used to retail for that when they were new 
Nah your store just sucks because I'm your neighbour and they are like 60€ on sale here

Wait my math is wrong its 70 dollar

why pay €80 for something now when you can pay €80 for it on Black Friday but the price was hiked to €100 a day earlier so the shop can put a -20% sale sticker on it

dt770 are a good headset, as is the hd6xx i have that one.
hyperx are a lower end gamer gear kinda brand, but their stuff is better than it used to be. The dt770 would still be better for sound quality
Blue are fine but one of those brands that tries to seem fancy when they're simply mid

There is no situation where you would get one of those imo over saving another like 50$ and getting something decent. If you really are desperate in that pinch just use a pair of cheap earbuds and a webcam or integrated mic.
There doesn't have to be a best at every price point, I really do believe that there's a price floor for everything
Audio gear you should really be spending less then 80-90$

Lots of budget kit is indeed trash but not all of it
potent arrow
odd sand
HyperX belongs in the garbage
I used to be in that camp as well, but I honestly do believe their stuff is better now than it was 10 years ago. Even accounting for tech advances etc. It's still not necessarily worth the money they're charging for it. But kinda like Beats being a solid $100 headset for $200, HyperX stuff at $100+ isnt going to fall apart immediately like Skullcandy will heh
I would still get something like the sennheiser one with the integrated mic or have a condenser or dynamic mic on a mic arm or stand over that however
I've had an AT2020 condenser for like 10 years now that still works well, although I get a lot of sound bleed simply bc I never got the foam enclosure for the back of it or one of those foam covers for the mic itself.
Considering getting a dynamic mic and moving the condenser to my work from home setup, but the only annoying part about the dynamic is it needs to be very close to your face to operate
Like within 5cm or so
modest moss
I personally wouldn't get a gaming headset regardless
I'd just use my normal headphones and the reasonable usb clip on mic I bought
obviously just for gaming chat I mean, not for streaming or voice work
potent arrow
I personally wouldn't get a gaming headset regardless
I view headsets being in such a weird spot. But they fall under my rule that combined tech is never the best, it's the worst of two. 2 in 1s, headsets, integrated mics etc
They are also some headsets that cost as much as like a standalone mic lfmaooo
modest moss
yeah, I agree

My friend had the PC350 from Sennheiser that had a really nice condenser mic on it
After like 3 years though the auto-mute switch in it started wearing out from putting the mic up and down and would cause static then

you can keep trying pieces, I'm not sure why you're not able to install as-is
The issue you are describing is most associated with interference with the game data. Most of the time, it results from certain security/privacy changes on Internet Explorer. Other times it occurs when an application that is running in the background is causing interference, such as Anti-virus software, firewalls, media players, web browsers, etc.

you could try opendns (208.67.222.22 or 208.67.220.220) or one fo these
the client is probably downloading many small files, and when it does that it sometimes pings random servers that have no dns entry or something
that does seem a little odd though

You don’t have the EW background screen?
You can choose I think but if you don't buy endwalker you don't

You can choose I think but if you don't buy endwalker you don't
you can't choose it, but you can make the old ones appear, by playing their trailers, but it doesn't save it.
your game will always show the latest expansion you have paid for, or that Blue screen if you are a free trial user
paper tusk
also is aren't in ew content it defaults to the last expansion available
so when hit heavensward it'll change the default title screen
void dove
i literally just said
you can't choose it, but you can make the old ones appear, by playing their trailers, but it doesn't save it.
it doesn't change based on character progession
it never has
paper tusk
hmm
void dove
the moment i bought the game it went to endwalker screen
the launcher has no way to track your game progress
since well, the login screen is Before you have selected a character
it can only know what your account owns, as thats checked on game login
as thats what it uses to determine what data to download. (and also is why only the latest expansion you own can appear, since endwalker data can't be downloaded, if you dont own it so the EW title screen can't appear)
its also why a number of people use the "title Edit" plugin
to force the game to load the old title screens
at least thats what i did
just, dont use that on a free trial account and try make the game load title screens for endwalker/shadowbringers. youll break the game

Hello o/ Has anyone tried playing FF XIV on a GNU/Linux?
If so- is there anything spoecific to look out for?
paper tusk
as far as i know 90% of the fun is setting up wine
sharp star
Hello o/ Has anyone tried playing FF XIV on a GNU/Linux?
There's a version of XIVLauncher built for Steam Deck/Linux
paper tusk
modern iris
Interesting~ Thanks for pointing me to that 🙂
sharp star
uh another thing you need to know is that XIVLauncher uses its own Wine wrapper and you shouldn't run it through Proton
sharp star
It's a third-party tool. Don't ask, don't tell.
modern iris
Ok ok xD
sharp star
Also Square Enix will not ban you for running the game on Linux alone
real edge
the ban made no sense anyway cause the 4090 is not an AI card so glad to see this adhered to and prices go back to normal
sharp star
There is nothing in the ToS that will keep you from running FFXIV on Linux but SE will not help you with any issues related to it
You either ask the XIVLauncher devs on their Discord server or Valve if you're somehow running it via Proton
modern iris
Is it based off of the official client or the steam version?
sharp star
there's virtually no difference between Steam and standalone but you have to check off the box saying that you're running the Steam version if you are
modern iris
My point being is that from what I remmeber the steam one is usually patched a little later then the official one. So I'm curious if there might be issues regarding patching in general as installing, updating and patching software in already existing instances of wine tend to be buggy from time to time
modern iris
I take it that the wrapper is designed for that then. SOrry, I've missed that somehow. Thanks for the informations ^^

I need to call the other Kia dealership tomorrow to find out if I got my oil changed there earlier in the year. I swear I did but I don't like keeping the sticker on and I can't find where I stashed it
Bc when I was getting the windshield repair quote they mentioned in their system I last had an oil change at 27500 or so and I'm at 34000 something now so...
sly elk
my favorite is when I do an oil change and forget to reset the oil life counter thingy

I'm almost positive I got it done earlier this year at the other dealership tho. Bc I vaguely remember walking down the street from there to get Burger King or something
Well I found the sticker when checking again. I pasted it onto the back of my toll transponder heh
And it's the one for the invoice I already have in the car, so I'll still call the other dealership just in case
Bc it doesn't seem like its been 16mos since I last had an oil change
But maybe it has been since I don't drive a ton with WFH
And going 7k instead of 5k on full synthetic isnt the end of the world even if its not ideal

SE doesnt use any method of hardware identification to verify so you wont get banned outright
its mostly just because companies can use cloud gaming services as a botting method

the thing is that there are broadly speaking six different groups of attackers that you have to worry about
let's see if I can remember all six
script kiddies, disgruntled employees, hacktivists, criminals, terrorists, nation state actors
