The new RedragonShop Eisa K686 Pro SE keyboard just arrived at my front door a few minutes ago.
This was sent to me as a review unit, so I'll be using it, checking it out and testing it over the next couple of weeks and then posting my review on the #AllThingsTech blog that you can view here:
Free for all to read at my Patreon... I review an extraordinary new book that expands our knowledge of - and empathy with - the oceans and their inhabitants:
I'm exhausted by the incessant demands to rate every product I buy online, every ride I book, and every meal I order. It's time for work-to-rule. My demand is a credit of 50¢ for each rating and $5 for each text review over 20 words.
If companies don't think my feedback is worth that very-modest sum, then it's not worth harassing me for with notifications and emails
@zephyrxero Honestly, I’m one of those people that will add “Reddit” after my search term (using DDG too) just so I can quickly get some opinions from ordinary people who shared said opinion with no incentive other than to share it.
Saw THE ZONE OF INTEREST last Friday. I needed some distance before posting about it. I have zero quips. I will say it was a unique viewing experience that moved me and stayed with me for days. The sound design in particular is absolutely remarkable. Some of the film's impact is dependent on the theatrical viewing experience, so if you're interested, see it in a theater while you can. #YabtM#reviews#cinemastodon#movies#film#cinema#TheZoneOfInterest#JonathanGlazer#ww2#WWII
IGF reviews: visual novels. Okay, a lot of the games in my last post were visual novels, but I need some kind of categorization or the posts would all collide.
Saltsea Chronicles
End of Lines
Solace State
Windy Meadow: A Roadwarden Tale
Plus mention of Cosmic Wheel Sisterhood and The Wreck, which are reviewed on my blog already.
I played the demo of Stars & Time and found it more Undertaleian than Homestuckish. Not that there’s much distance given that UT came out of HS fandom. Super charming but it didn’t quite grab me enough to buy it. Maybe when it shows up on sale, especially if it’s gotten some “I’m just here for the story” de-grindification.
@zarfeblong The Archivist and the Revolution reminded me of Bee by Emily Short, which I've played. So I wasn't surprised to see Bee in the list of inspirations.
Ultimately, whether he intended the Silmarillion to function as a national epic for England, Britain, the Anglosphere, or the entire world does not really matter all that much. What matters is that he succeeded.
In der Welt von Everden liegt ein mystischer Wald namens Humblewood, eingebettet zwischen dem Kamm-Gebirge und den Mokk-Feldern, der mit demselben Puls wie der Große Rhythmus schlägt. Schon seit Generationen wird der Wald von der Großen Baumstadt Erlenherz aus von der Vogelschar regiert. Doch nachdem Humblewood über Jahrhunderte hinweg dank des Fleißes und der Hingabe seiner Einheimischen prosperierte, kamen die Feuer und das Chaos.
Flammen zerstören das Land und die Heimat der Bodenschar. Was bei diesen zu Verbitterung gegenüber der Vogelschar führt, denn deren Hochsitze konnten dem Schlimmsten bisher entgehen. Hass brennt in den Herzen derer, die ihre geliebte Art zu leben verloren haben – bisher friedliche Leute haben sich vom Gesetz abgewandt. Diejenigen, die unzufrieden sind, wenden ihren Blick nach Erlenherz und drohen, ein Zeitalter des Wachstums und des Friedens in Asche zu verwandeln.
Aber es besteht noch Hoffnung. Selbst in diesen dunklen Zeiten gibt es mutige Heldinnen im Wald. Nur sie können die rasenden Flammen löschen, die auf das Land niederprasseln, und das Gleichgewicht des Reiches wiederherstellen. Du bist einer von ihnen. Wirst du diesem Ruf folgen?
Humblewood ist ein aufregendes neues Setting für die 5. Edition und enthält zehn neue spielbare Völker, neue Monster und magische Gegenstände, sowie ein spannendes Abenteuer für Charaktere der Stufen 1 bis 5. Zum Spielen werden die Grundregeln der 5. Edition benötigt.
Crashy Laps Review (PlayStation 5)
For this Crashy Laps Review, we play an arcade racing game, with all the tracks visible on the screen, designed for playing in single-player and Local Multiplayer modes. Based on classic games, there are isometric and top-down selectable camera views.
@Gertlushgaming 348MB? Blimey, you can still get Mario Kart and a GBA #emulator for Android weighing in at 11MB total! How times have changed 😉
Good review 👍
"They don't support active noise cancellation!" the reviewer shouts, gesticulating wildly.
No, because there is no seal with your ear canal, rendering such a feature pointless. This is physics, not a poor product choice.
"Okay, but they don't sound as good as my favourite thing that I have to screw deep into my lugholes."
That's just physics again.
"Okay, but these are expensive, so I should recommend an alternative. How about... some other thing that you'll have to dig into your scull."
No.
Some people (myself included) don't like their hearing being completely blocked off, reliance on a transparency mode that is probably terrible, the physical discomfort of something penetrating in towards their eardrum, having to try several sets of first-and-third-party tips, and the endless fiddling to get a good fit. Stop trying to sell #AirPods Pro to those people. However rare a more open design might be, it is a legitimate product category in its own right. Comparing it to something it isn't aiming to be, every single time, is not helpful.
Related: I just bought the #Shokz#OpenFit, on my endless quest to find #headphones that sit nicely about my person without requiring invasive surgery or flattened hair. I'll possibly hate them, as I've hated every set of such headphones that isn't the non-Pro #AirPods.
@jscholes I could just see the airpods pro being a direct gateway drug for Apple to enter the hearing aid market, and they certainly would know how to do the direct transition marketing spin. Even if you use airpods responsibly, we'll all have to face the inevitable. Skip the expensive visit to the audiologist and consult your GeniusBar for healthcare that...just works ™ and get our critically aclaimed airHear ™ hearing aids, or our cochleair (pronounced co-clee-air) implants!
Michael Fassbender keeps his clothes on and David Fincher keeps everything a cool 50 degrees with a bluish hue in this standard but entertaining hitman thriller.
