I'm growing to dislike wearing a typical large #GAMER headset. I think what I want is gaming-centric, wireless in-ear monitors, with no mic. Do those exist?
Started putting together a dedicated mic + earbud set.
Got a #Razer Seiren V3 Chroma, because RGB, with an Elgato low-profile mic arm, and Razer's Hammerhead Pro earbuds.
I feel less restricted, but the earbuds of course have shorter battery life and the mic is still active, hurting battery.
i'm a serial #fediverse instance creator (and destroyer) and have been doing this since 2018. many will already be familiar with my name or my avatar.
i'm the father of two awesome kids. i love watching and talking about #movies. i'm a #gamer (#callofduty and #battlefield mostly). i'm a fan of #taylorswift. i eat to #run. i'm a giant #starwars and #startrek nerd. i'm a born and raised #engineer and have spent most of my career as a devops engineer and sre. i now lead an org of excellent devs and sres.

The Adventures of J-Loy continue! We finally know what the game's name means! We know what Zero Dawn is... but how did they do it? We won't find answers just sitting around. Maybe it's just over the Horizon...
An exploration of #VideoGame performances, this book merges #MediaTheory with performativity, revealing insights from Western art to digital storytelling.
Thinking about my Linux installation, Garuda Linux. It's great, I mean really really good, but it's run by the type of Linux Elitists that look down on users like me and I don't feel particularly welcome or keen to become part of that community*. So I'm considering a hop to a new Distro.
I'm used to Arch distros now (RIP Antergos) and I really appreciate Rolling Releases so the first candidate that springs to mind is Manjaro Linux. It even has an unnofficial Gamer Edition "spin" (fork).
What's more, I could use Manjaro to obliterate that Windows partition that still exists on my SSD, preserving all the data in my Garuda Home directory and simply copy it over between the dual Linuxes. Then I delete Garuda and expand Manjaro across the whole 2TB SSD.
Two birds, one stone? 😃 Am suspicious, solutions are rarely this neat...🤔☺️
*Like the Fedi, the political attitudes of certain groups (Distros/Instances) tends to be something you find out after you've joined up. Distrowatch needs a checkbox for Linux Elitism 😁
Hey #gamer friends, my purge of weird stuff I've accumulated over the years continues! Current item is a rare #KatamariDamacy collectible, a little keychain fob figure of the Prince that was given away to reviewers of the game (one if my first professional reviews!). Well, turns out it's worth about $50 so I'm selling mine on eBay. If you're interested, it's here:
