    Headphones & Audio Devices

    I use an audio Technica AT2020 XLR into my Scarlett 2i2, but there is a USB version - I can't speak to the quality of that. I have a monitor arm with a shock mount on it. It keeps the mic from really moving around. For key presses there's a few options you can do. If you're streaming you can...

    If you're running a plex server and you aren't encoding 4k content or whatever (I'm bad with terms), I think any modern processor is going to be ok

    Phantasmagoria wow. IIRC that game had titties at a certain point? Might've been 7th Guest. All those games were awesome when I was a kid.

    Which computer chair do you use? Needs to be poopsock viable

    I'm not going to guess your size or ask, but I'm 6'3" 230 pounds, and the pillow placement on my Titan fits right behind my head. So keep in mind it is a big chair. Also my ass doesn't completely fill the seat cushion, so I can curl my leg underneath me (again, bad habit I'm sure). I went by...

    Also personal anecdote - I have a friend that caught COVID at work (nursing home). A bit heavier than me (I'm 6'3" 230, he's 5'10" 298), but otherwise same lifestyle and everything as me (has the betes), two kids exactly the same age as my two kids. He was in the ICU for a full 30 days - they...

    I tried but our supermarket was out of everything. Only thing I could get was like 7 pounds of ground beef which I froze. The chicken breasts were the biggest I've ever seen and even in a pandemic I ain't eating no woody breast

    It will trickle down to frozen vendors too eventually. Even a limited shortage will affect everyone

    I cancelled my dentist appts for my wife and kids. I don't care if someone says it's the same danger level as flu season. Nope. Missing a single 6 month appt won't be the end of the world.

    $500 was my internal limit. I paid $430 for my 1070 back when they launched so it actually wasn't that much more than it for a 2070 Super. I do hope going forward we can get realistic prices and these bitcoin mining faggots die in a fire

    You can demo all the Neural DSP VST's for free for two weeks or something. That's just the tip of the iceberg though. I've found tons of free VSTs, tons of demos for most products. Once you have an interface setup, it's just finding which VST you like best. They sound... surprisingly good.

    Yeah that's a good card. I was going to buy it then it went OOS. But it looks like everyday it's back in stock. If I could rewind I would've bought that card.

    Unfortunately my wife never really "found" her calling for work. She has a BA in English, and if she went for a Masters she could teach but she doesn't want that. So she's unsure what she'll do. She does want to work, just not sure. Her last job was being a mail carrier for the USPS. She loved...

    That's kind of what they were thinking in the US too weren't they? Or did that narrative change, I can't keep track. In my town we had an otherwise upstanding citizen hold someone at gunpoint demanding they repay a loan they took out from him.. got a feeling we'll be seeing a lot more of that.

    Sony is saying it wasn't Naughty Dog but "HACKERS!!!! !OMG" I feel like that's extremely dubious. It's easy to blame a nebulous HACKER, especially since no one took fucking credit for the leak. This would also mean that the hacker found out 1) All the files needed to build t he game 2)...

    Could be true. It's just weird because it looked like someone started filing this oval into the wood. I guess I'll just watch it and if it gets bigger I'll have to get it fixed. I wonder if the kids jumping (seriously shakes the house) is just loosening up shit that has been there for awhile

    No ants, it's been so cold here (40s) that I haven't seen any insects until this weekend. This is what I come down to every day. This could be from my maniac.kids jumping on the floor but not sure. It's so weird.

    More serious question. A few weeks ago I noticed a small bit of wood dust on my TV stand in the basement. Noticed my sub floor looked like it was rotting... But it's not set, the surrounding wood is all fine.. just this?? At first I thought maybe termites but I have no sign of them...
