The thing is, if you really are so vain, wouldn't you think the song couldn't possibly be about you?

@scribus if you’re so vain you think the song is about you, then the song is, in fact, about you

I think "true" wireless earbuds are a scam with some extra steps. They are expensive, their batteries cannot (easily) be replaced, and they are easily lost, and need a bulky case to charge the earbuds that also adds its failure points and inconveniences to the mix (easy to be lost, battery replacement, hinge, contacts for charging...). A cable isn't perfect either but there are some models with replaceable cables, that don't make it all unusable once it eventually breaks. Tangling of the cable is annoying but it is the less bad than all the wireless earbuds will inflict once they start to misbehave or become obsolete. 3.5mm audio jacks are so "dumb" and simple that it's hard for them to fail.

@scribus Oof. I guess opening the case in order to repair it will probably result in a catastrophy.

@scribus Yeah. I'm just imagining how a phone/portable musik player with XLR plugs would look like.

@adiwan I managed to pull it out OK, but it's just too tiny, fragile, and fiddly for my soldering skillz

Did somebody say “Bus Crash”??

@zeldatra Hey, the only time I "crashed" the bus, I got hit on the broadside by a 90 year old! And nobody was even hurt, okay! Except my schedule... and maybe a couple hundred other people's schedule, down the line....

Not that I’m emulating a Wii U game or anything, but Wii U emulation is such a pain in the ass I might just fork the money over for a refurbished console.

@zeldatra And what game would you fork over refurbished console money for? Wii U is a huge blind spot in my Nintento know. My Nintendknow.
-
@scribus Nothing, now that I’ve (hypothetically) gotten the emulator working (in Minecraft), but basically I wanna start streaming some older console games like Zelda and such and I was trying to get the most convenient setup going. A Wii U can play Nintendo’s entire library excluding the GameCube and Switch, so it seems like the most convenient option.

I guess I waited for a PC upgrade so long that it's better to just wait for the next big thing, like when AMD releases a new CPU socket and supports DDR5.

I know I've said before that Final Fantasy is the only time that 6 > 7, but I think that The Sims is having a similar run with 3 > 4 !vgp

@zeldatra Even after all of the updates and finally putting pools into the base game, I just cannot stand Sims 4. They're too dumb, and they're too bad at listening to the User. The multitasking is cool, and they don't clutter at stairs and doorways as badly as 3, but really.... That's about it, gameplay-wise, for me. Otherwise it's like they traded one graphical step forward for two or three game steps back. I hire a babysitter, I go to the bar with my wife, I come home at 3 AM and the toddler is unfed in the backyard playing around in a dirty diaper and that was about when I decided the game was literally unfinished and in Cimmeria, by Crom, pushing unfinished software to market would cost one's HEAD!! lol

@scribus I should probably mention that The Sims 2 runs on a pretty much identical game engine to The Sims 3, with the big differences being that create-a-sim is more detailed in 3 and, of course, the interconnected neighborhood with no load screens. If you’re used to 3’s clutter it’s PROBABLY the better game, I’m just not.
