  • About a third of the way through "Banishers". Someone, maybe here on Lemmy, recommended it, and damn it was a missed gem.

    If you dig supernatural/ mysteries, with action combat and investigation sequences it's a hoot. You know what? Imagine a mini-Witcher 3, with a few polish issues.

  • Been on Nebula (with curiosity stream) for 4 years. They're great. Good price, many of my favorite YT creators are also on Nebula, and their Nebula content either drops first, or has extended cuts and no ads ever.

    They definitely have less channels and stuff overall, but a much larger percentage of their content is geared towards my interests. Also, I would say their minimum quality and production values are significantly higher than YT.

  • Is this the dude who uses the freeze bomb on the ship at the beginning of two? Because when that came out that was probably the baddest scene I've ever witnessed in a video game. That was the moment I got hooked on the franchise.

  • Just adding support for this recommendation. I had 4 gaming headsets before this, and got this for about $140 on sale. It's far and away the best sounding headset I've ever used for non-professional purposes. There are two caveats:

    3.5mm jack works on most gaming consoles through the controller. And you can get a super cheap and small adapter from 3.5mm to USB-C if you want to use it with phone or other USB-C input. But if you need wireless this won't do it.

    They are open back style headphones. Meaning there's a considerable amount of sound leakage into the room with you. Someone sitting next to you can hear every word of your voice chat or phone call. They sound really open airy and have a great sound-stage because of this, but it's not great if you need privacy. They do make the Game One version with a closed back.

  • FWIW, my last phone (until 3 weeks ago) was a OnePlus Nord N20. Absolutely stellar budget phone with a solid mid-range experience and features. It had a headphone jack AND an SD card slot, as well as dual SIM tray if that's useful. I think it's actually higher spec than the N30. You can still find those. OnePlus is pretty good about including a lot of that stuff, except on their flagship phones. Hope that's helpful.

  • I played it back on the PS4. My memory is that I enjoyed the vast majority of it, and was pretty completionist on that one. Mostly because the world and environments are hauntingly beautiful. I enjoyed riding slowly through the world, almost never using travel, and exploring the nooks and crannies. If that's your bag I think you might like it. But The story does go through some contortions to fill out the play time.

  • When we switch to DST, we "Fall Back. ". We set the clocks one hour back, at 2:00am Sunday, so basically we get an extra hour of sleep just on that night. Then we lose one when we set the clocks forward in the spring.

    To be fair, I don't think that extra hour, once in the Fall, is used as a reason for Daylight Savings in any debates.

    Jury reaches verdict in Trump case

    JUST IN: The jury has reached a verdict in Donald Trump’s hush money criminal trial in New York. The verdict will be read in court shortly. The 12-person jury has been considering whether Trump is guilty of 34 counts of falsifying business records, which are all connected to the alleged cover up of hush money payments to adult film star Stormy Daniels. The jury must be unanimous in its decision. Trump has pleaded not guilty to the charges in the case and denies the affair with Daniels.

    Eclipse from FL, 65%. Thousand Oaks white light filter on 400mm Lens

    I also got several with internal reflections between the filter and the lens. Thought it was kind of cool.
