This is a #travestyOfJustice. This #British guy made a fake call to a US #terrorism hotline with the intention of "#swatting" a fellow #gamer in America. The #SWATteam actually showed up and shot the intended target in the face resulting in permenant disfigurement. The #UK court sentenced him to 2mo in jail, and £1000 in compensation to the victim. That's nothing. That's not even a slap on the wrist for the lifelong damages he caused.
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.

When I was a youngster in the late 1980s, I formed an Amiga game dev team with 2 friends.
Before making games, we started by trying to sell game music that used minimal RAM, made with our music editor SIDmon.
To promote our game music, this energetic music module was composed by our musician Ramon Braumuller. The file, including tiny sampled sounds, is only 22 kilobytes.
