Steam is waiting.

Then it works

Tunic!

The "final" puzzle took a whole page of paper. It was brilliant

You arent far from the truth.

In my experience it boils down to middle-management "tech-bro" types that still use norton antivirus thinking that if they just pay more money and install new software on top of windows defender everything will be fine.

When instead they should be enforcing multifactor authentication on the executives accounts.

But hey, I'm sure that executive that's been given too much access since they "own the company" would be bothered if they had to reach for their phone one extra time a day.

That or janice from accounting that has 20 years of privileges handling payroll and keeps her passwords in an excel doc on her desktop labeled "passwords".

But yes, a $20k a year subscription to an SIEM sold to you by some marketing guy will solve security needs. It just needs to build a profile on you and collect all your info! One more ai bot and we'll solve tech security!

Hey look amazon shipped me a free item, i just need to open this pdf and give it admin access to retrieve it!

Missed opportunity to call it shi(r)tposting. There truly is no ethical sucky puns under capitalism.

Oh! My bad. EqualizerAPO / SourceForge is what i used briefly. I tried a few others but their names escape me.

Was nice being able to control everything more fluidly and import presets from various audiophile testing websites to figure out what sounded best to "me".

Years of listening to Metal at 'way too loud' on the dial has made my ears uh 'unique'. So i cant just drop in stuff and it sound immediately perfect. Gotta tweak it a smidge.

Regarding the third party software on linux, I'm unsure. When im using my linux boot i just use the equalizer built into the dac itself and mimic what i figured out using third party on windows.

I imagine there's third party that would interface with it since its just like any other audio software. Something like PulseAudio that sits on top of ALSA. That said id recommend doing your own research as always with your flavor of linux/setup.

They didn't work out of the box instantly, the sound was pretty "crunchy".

But, all i had to do was update firmware and set the bandwidth to the fanciest it would go then use third party equalizer to balance it out. (You CAN use the propietary one, but it didn't seem to really offer me anything third party didn't. Third party changes the driver too so you don't have to have a dumb program sitting open in the background like the proprietary requires)

If i was going to spend this money again I'd of bought the Maxwell from Audeze instead. My head is fat and the nova pro barely fits at max space.

Also, get cloth earcups to replace the full rubber grippy ones. Way less sweaty and the sound is more " open" imo. Although audiophiles would be correct that it's less sealed so therefore less noise canceling and immersive.

Edit: Sidenote. All headsets should have a removable battery as easy as this. Its easily the best feature on this headset.

I'd also think the fact that the new food isn't 'healthy' is also a double whammy.

Being forced to eat your spinnach sucks because its NOT fatty and delicious.

Eating new unhealthy food when you dont want to Sucks because it can mentally feel like you're poisoning yourself AND you don't want to.

Honestly the win is getting your kid to try new things. No problem if they really dont like it and they are eating healthily. Becoming an adult is being able to eat all food as sustenance and not just pleasure. They're a kid. No way they can understand that.

Instead focus on the lesson that trying new things can 'suck' and having a 'bad' outcome after trying something new is entirely acceptable (within bounds)

Yep. Tencent has a major share in Path of Exile too and that game is beyond generous being f2p with no p2w.

I remain cautious but optimistic for all games. There's nothing wrong with being excited. Just dont buy into stuff without proof and you wont be disappointed.

At worst, it's just not what you thought it'd be and you dont buy/play it.

If a different company can make the same game, but better, then more power to them. They'll have to overcome the wall of players that "dont want to play another horizon" as well as innovate to make it feel fresh.

If someone made a copy of legally-distinct bloodborne it would do beyond amazing if enough effort and love was put into it.

All of this to say, if the game is a cash grab with tracky drm or microtransactions then its not going to do well if it is like that PLUS a 'rip-off' of another game.

Just don't preorder and see if its a cash grab first. Extremely difficult for some i know.
