How does someone suffering with this condition read a book? The entire process is about forming images in your mind based on what you read. Sounds like it would be awful to deal with.

Funches is god awful. Why is he delivering his lines like a fuckin looney toon while doing what is really just a roundtable interview? He's reading the prompter like talking to a gathering of 5 year olds and it's completely out of tone with the show.

But he was shit in Powerless as well, so that's my fault for having normal expectations of a host.

Any USB mic will work.

USB extension: https://www.amazon.com/Extension-AINOPE-Material-Transfer-Compatible/dp/B07ZV6FHWF/

If you use Win10 or 7, the mic should auto-configure once plugged in, but if it doesn't for any reason let me know.

If you're serious :/

Three podiums, but only the one in the middle has a mic. Each candidate steps up to the center podium, answers for two minutes, then steps back to his podium without a mic. Then the next candidate steps up.

You wouldn't think this would be necessary, but yes, it's become Q&A at ComicCon time.

Microsoft is offering Smart Delivery for next-gen, so I can purchase a game for my One X and know I'll have the upgraded version when I decided to get the Series X. That's a massive consumer-friendly move.

Microsoft actually lets you play games that you purchased in the past! Nintendo, and Sony to an extent, don't give a shit if you bought that game before, they want more money. Another bonus for the consumer.

Microsoft actually supported physical media this gen by allowing me to take full advantage of my LG B7 by including a 4K UHD drive! Sorry, but streaming in pseudo-4K doesn't cut it for those of us with functioning eyes and ears. How the hell did Sony drop the ball on that one?

Game Pass is widely acknowledged across the industry as an absolutely tremendous deal for consumers, and a major positive for Microsoft. If you don't like games, that's not a Microsoft problem.

Your only valid complaint is microtransactions. And I agree! I hate them. But have you had your head in the sand for the past 8 years? Every instance I can think of where a game released with heavily monetized nonsense, the backlash was vicious, and resulted in developers changing their approach (Forza 7, Middle-Earth Shadow of War, EA and the Battlefront 2 onslaught, and I can keep going), and you certainly can't point the finger at Microsoft for all of them... oh wait, you are.

Stop with that shit.

For real.

I'd be laughing at Walter one minute, feeling bad for him getting lost in the next scene, angry with him for being stubborn a few minutes later, then cautious/apprehensive when Walternate was scheming.

Noble can do it all.

Look at it this way... if things continue to get worse, you go for the scans or surgery, and afterward you're healthy, but you have some bills to pay monthly.

It's your health. Having to deal with a little debt is much better than death.

Good luck.

For the price he paid, 7.1 virtualization is absolutely fine. It's also an improvement over straight up stereo if your setup is configured even halfway decent. I don't think anyone's arguing the merits of virtual surround over true 7.1 because there are none.

But yeah, Atmos is definitely a step above Windows Sonic. And if the content was mastered for Atmos, that step grows to a sizeable margin. Object-based surround sound is lovely.

Immediately drop Mr. Connecticut-Rangerover with a vicious right before he even finishes his bribery offer. He aimed for the dog. I take the money from his car anyway and consider backing up over him a few times, but set aside offing him. I retrieve Barquis' remains and bring him home for proper goodbyes... sad, but a bit richer.
