So they either post no content or only appear in the "khv is dead" threads like certain members. So it doesn't really much matter if I reply to them or not. Especially since these threads (at least in the spam zone) always get replies from both the active and lurking members such as yourself. Plus the whole "ignore them and they will stop posting thing" doesn't apply to everyone. Or if you were trying to imply that I enjoy these threads otherwise I wouldn't reply, then that is just factually wrong. Good try tho fam.
Thank you for doing that. Saved me the trouble of posting it myself. You mean the downtime that effects close to nobody?
Never get tired of the buttload of complaints about lack of activity instead of actual posts with meaningful content.
School / life happens man
God forbid people are lactose intolerant or are vegan. Fk those guys rite?
This thread breaks my heart just as much as the homemade vs jarred sauce debate.
Nah it just reminded me how much I don't like it. I mean if it was a choice between subway and some fast food place and I wanted to eat "heathy" I guess I'd choose it.
Real talk: everything at subway tastes like cardboard. It's a mockery of quality sandwiches.
You: Hey I wanted to talk to you about something, if you have the time Other person: Yeah sure, whats up? You: *insert whatever it is this thread is actually about* Turns out communication is super easy if you just don't psych yourself out about it.
How did you not notice this going in? Like a gameplay video or a trailer would give it away almost instantly (or at least it did for me when I looked it up after seeing it on steam).
While I do agree that suicide is a VERY serious topic and should be treated as such, it is very hard for me to sit here quietly when people get outraged about one specific topic, but completely numb themselves to another that is of equal impact (considering both have to do with death). We (and by we I mean a lot of westernized culture, and I specifically say westernized because it is the only one I really know) have a degree of blood lust. Take any form of "entertainment". Video games, movies, TV, music, hell even sports to a degree are centered around violence. If something that has to do with suicide being portrayed on the big screen is wrong, why do we turn a blind eye to mass murder and destruction? The sad truth is, its because a lot of us like it and we are too damn proud or self righteous to admit it. Of course there are going to be people who avoid violence at all costs because they just don't like it. However, some of the movies I have seen over the past 5-10 years that I thought were excellent had TONS of violence and killing. Same thing for video games. It doesn't also have to be first person shooters either. Tons of RPG's, MMO's, MOBA's, etc all have it and nobody gives a damn. Don't mistake this as me getting up on my ivory tower and implying that I am above the rest of the world that enjoys these things, I just don't pretend to not like things with violence. Think about how hyped some of you get for super hero movies (cool as sh1t btw, ive been loving the recent ones) yeah that shiet has tons of murder. So I guess what I am saying is, its not that suicide isn't an important topic worth talking about, it is just VERY weird/biased that we ignore other things that are just as tragic.
Except with a cringey following that doesn't understand satirical humor for the most part.
It isn't a game that I beat by just casually playing it. In fact the only reason I did manage to beat it is because I got a lot more spare time due to being out of school for like a week due to having the flu (at the time). It is a great game, but that being said I most likely wouldn't replay it. Whereas I would replay other Final Fantasy games (that are equally as long). Depends on taste, I guess.
Thought it was an actual game about actual nuns until you said Naruto. God damn I am stupid.
Yeah this ^ Everyone has to make a huge deal about everything though, I guess.
Nahhhh don't worry about it, I was just like "ohey truth or dare thread thats cool, hope it doesn't get removed lol"
I think I recall my version of this thread being deleted (during a hiatus in 2015 I think) anyone know why that happened? If it is super hush hush then no worries, just curious.
Not to discredit your motherboard's on board audio (as I am pretty sure it is good) however it will pale in comparison to even the cheapest of amps/dacs, and I especially find that if I am going to pay top dollar for audio, it is pretty much sinful not to pair it with a good amp.
...
ALRIGHT. Strap yourself in. Before we go anywhere in this thread, you should know about headphone impedance if you do not know about it already. I can give you the tl;dr tho so don't worry. Basically, the higher the impedance, the more "juice" you need. Generally built in sound cards (and even some external ones) can be pretty weak in terms of the ability to drive a high impedance headphone. There is an excellent selection of low impedance headphones, however if you want "audiophile" grade, then your options are going to be heavily limited. A good rule of thumb I tend to use is if the impedance is over 32 Ohms, then you are going to want to use some form of external AMP/DAC solution to drive it. Otherwise the sound isn't going to be what you payed for, and it is certainly not going to be loud enough (meaning it will range from inaudible to hella quiet). The best plug and play headphones I can recommend that are comfortable, durable, and sound great (without you having to sell your soul to your bank) are the Audio-Technica ATH-M50x's. I believe the impedance of these are 38 Ohms, so it is low enough to be used on pretty much anything while still retaining great sound quality. I know this from personal experience as I purchased a pair for use with my laptop (as my AMP/DAC is basically fully hooked up to my PC and all my consoles), and I also gave a pair as a gift to my father for Christmas this year. Needless to say these things are awesome. They feel light without being cheap, are really comfortable specifically around the ears, and come with a variety of cord sizes for whatever you may need. That being said, for most people these could be the end all be all pair of headphones. However I am not most people (pls don't judge me). While I own the ATH-M50x's and they really kick ashe (lel), they pale in comparison to the mid tier "audiophile headphones" coupled with a high quality amp/dac. My personal setup is the Sennheiser HD 8 DJ with the Creative Soundblaster X7. That is quite a bit more money than 200 dollars, but keep in mind what it does for me and why I picked it. You will find that a lot of "audiophile" people will preach that semi open or fully open headphones give a much better sound stage. I agree with them on that (you should really try it sometime) however that is more like wearing speakers on your ears, and since I like to both have a bit of privacy and not kill my family with my music selection, I ALWAYS opt for a closed back headphone. This and this reason alone is why I went with something like the HD 8's over something else from Sennheiser/any other reputable brand. This in combination with the "metric butt-ton" of audio inputs of the Soundblaster X7 makes a very nice entertainment setup. All I have to do is turn on whatever I want to use and the sound goes through my headphones (even multiple devices at once, this isn't exactly special, but it is useful). Thing is, all of that ^ ranting about my audio setup actually has a purpose, and that is to prioritize your actual needs. If you need something plug and play, go with something with low impedance that isn't horribly rated and you will be set. If you have more of an "all in one solution" in mind then you are most likely going to have to either bump up your budget a tad, or just wait for now. Like buy the M50x's, and maybe get an AMP/DAC later if you have all of your stuff in one location like I do. Just be sure to do your research and pick what you need. There are many factors in buying a pair of quality headphones Some of which include: removable cables open vs closed ear cup design impedance build quality ear cup fabric (cloth vs leather, or does it include both) reliability sound profile (which I didn't touch on. Basically does it have a flat sound profile, often used in recording studios to hear the "true sound". Another is lows vs mids vs highs and how those three are balanced, etc) The list goes on and on. Just do your research, and if you need more personal suggestions, hit me up. I can only post so much while still staying on topic. Good luck.
