Quite frequently for sure. I’m a musician in a band, a DJ, and working on becoming more of a producer. Plugging in for amplifying or sampling happens fairly often. Being an audiophile, I’m also partial to wired connections over Bluetooth which can be more unreliable in performance settings. Never wanted to mess with battery powered phones too. Already have charger fatigue pretty bad.

Such a fucking shame learning about great music being made by terrible folks. Sooooo many rockers with controversy, be it racism, underage groupie fucking, or otherwise.

Thankfully there’s no shortage of really talented people making awesome music these days. May need to dig around a bit, but my Spotify is an absolute labyrinth of more tunes than I can possibly get through. I’ve had to make annual playlists for every sub genre I’m into just to attempt to keep my archive manageable.

Baldur’s Gate consumed a bunch of my time, but I’ve had on hold for a bit. Got obsessed with Armored Core 6 which has been a ton of fun. Bit biased though, played AC series growing up, big Fromsoft fan in general.

Most recently been hitting that Mario World Wonder on switch for quick casual time kill, then Predecessor on PC for scratching competitive PVP itch. Got so tense playing it the other day I managed to tweak a muscle somehow 😂

Now there’s a thought… used to be a beast on Tetris. Played enough I was playing in my dreams. Might have to get back on that train

Was in there way back when it was fresh. Caught a couple extra rare characters too, but got burnt out fairly quickly on the grind.

Still, quite impressive for what is technically a phone game.

Like others said, Skyrim is awesome. Earlier Elder Scrolls are awesome too, little more hard boiled. Fallout New Vegas is a masterpiece, highly recommend.

Go get it. It’s a masterpiece, and prime example of why gaming is my favorite art form to consume. You deserve it.

What are people using for gaming/chat other than discord?

What are the cool kids using these days?

I’ve never really accepted the theory that return to office pushes are driven by office maintenance costs, or whatever. Hell, those expenses go UP when everyone is back. Working from home takes away electrical usage, and mitigates janitorial demand. If productivity is up or equal, and building maintenance costs are down, then wtf is it really about?

Haven’t sailed in a while, DM me tips on how to get my vessel sea-worthy again! 🏴‍☠️🦜

Is there an android app?

+1 for Eargasm. The real MVP is the keychain carrying case which ensures I never leave home without em. As a drummer, DJ, and loud music enthusiast they’re one of my best purchases ever. I genuinely forget they’re in sometimes, but then I’ll take em out and it makes a big difference. Awesome quality of sound, just less damage.

Gotta chew fast while it’s still got that cronch

S O O N

TotK, D4 & Dave Dive are big for sure.

Although I’m trying to get back into Predecessor for the sweet, sweaty combat

Damn, that’s looking kinda thicc.

Oh, my poor relationships and adult responsibilities.

Now I just want an accurate infographic of “safe” combustible plastics.

Huh, well TIL.

For whatever reason I prefer white American cheese over yellow on a burger.

Oh snap, that would be fun to rip through! Read the book a while back and had a proper hoot with it. Dude has so many stories after bombing around with ol’ Tommy
