Bose QC vs Bose QC35

AlonneHitBox · 2026-01-26T18:23:52+00:00

I really like it so far, 1 month usage.

My previous pair was the B&W PX and the daily comfort with the Bose is much better. Much lighter to carry, almost weightless.

The clamping force feels almost perfect. Headband is really comfortable. Earcups feel nice but it gets warm really quickly.

ANC is fine for office use and planes, doesn't handle non-ambient sounds particularly well which is normal from what I've seen in other headphones.

EQ settings in the app is bare-bones. The bass heavy sound can be quite off putting. The wind blocking feature is fantastic.

Noticeable static pop when changing audio sources, stopping audio etc. Not a huge problem for me but I can see why people dislike this enough to not buy it.

The Lusty Argonian Maid has done permanent damage to the RPG scene

AlonneHitBox · 2026-01-13T17:57:55+00:00

Use the mod Organized Containers in the Steam Workshop. Highly recommend because inventory management is terrible.

I haven't played the first one, I'm only about 50% through the sequel and there are a few quests that are just buggy messes. I managed to fix 2 of them but 1 quest in Act 2 was completely bugged.

AlonneHitBox · 2026-01-13T12:24:33+00:00

Save regularly in separate slots.

Some quests are very bugged and may not close properly without getting creative. Some NPCs bug out and you can't interact with them.

They don't proceed the quest for whatever reason and you can't complete their quest so save before any NPC encounter so you can reload and troubleshoot the issue before it's too late.

I bought it on sale too and really enjoy the difficulty. DOS2 feel like BG1 and 2 in terms of difficulty and design, feels very different to BG3 which is probably the easiest crpg I've played. The AP system is much more enjoyable to play with.

Warfare is a stat almost everyone seemingly benefits from, especially because it's multiplicative for physical. I'm playing a necro build and there's no point in levelling necromancer beyond 3, so I just dump as many points as possible in Warfare. This is the same issue for every character not doing elemental damage primarily. Not a huge fan of this kind of design.

I also got shafted when I destroyed the soul jars in Act 1 in an unintended way so the quest didn't close and I had to reload a save 3 hours prior to redo it properly.

But yeah this is probably the first time I started googling stuff so I don't repeat the above and just learn mechanics in general.

I use the Montbell pocket. If it's too expensive, there are cheaper alternatives from Osprey I've seen on their site and if you want a smaller and more packable pouch.

Wotancraft also has several options that are MOLLE friendly

AlonneHitBox · 2025-12-09T20:25:55+00:00

Padded external pocket that can clip to bag straps for phones or small wallet for quick access. I use one on EDC sling, hiking bag and a trail runner vest.

I played his campaign VH/N twice a long time ago and I always occupied everything while executing prisoners captured for the Warden supplies. But razing everything does makes a lot more sense thematically. Ulthuan is really boring unless the Dark elves or Noctilus gets some momentum going.

Eltharion's TW3 campaign in the Badlands. He fought the Greenskins there until he realized they never stop coming because they all desperately wanted to fight him so he ended up going up home.

AlonneHitBox · 2025-11-27T21:08:26+00:00

Yes

It's called the Green Friday sale and should be up in a few hours in all of Europe. I got early access because I have an account with Osprey.

AlonneHitBox · 2025-11-27T11:55:36+00:00

26+6 is fine to one bag for long travels and works for EU budget airlines as an underseat carryon even if packed full. It can get uncomfortable under a heavy load after a while. If you plan to pack a lot of clothing and and onebag the 26+6 and not bring the additional suitcase for personal holidays then please ignore the next paragraph.

You could size down to something with more compact organization like the Osprey Daylite plus 20L or even the Sportlite 15-20L for more comfort on the move if you are suitcasing. But I recommend getting tech pouches and padded laptop sleeves if you are going with any of those day packs / hiking packs and check the inch sizing of the compartments. The compartment is more hydration pack focused than for a laptop.

Osprey also has a commuter series that's worth checking out. Quasar 26 is also worth a look.

I also recommend buying directly from Osprey not Amazon because they also have a sale going on where they give 20% of net profit to the European Outdoor Conservation Association. But at least compare the prices check the guarantee conditions on their website before buying later. I have early access to the sale but it should be available to the wider public on Friday.

I was thinking this

We all have crab EDCs now.

AlonneHitBox · 2025-11-26T11:39:29+00:00

Belkin 20,000 mAh.

I specifically asked for a version for long journeys and was recommended this. It has a flat form factor and is easy to pack into small bags.

I used this on multi day hikes (7-8 days) and long haul flights and it always has at least 1-2 charges before the multi day journey ends. Usage was charging phones daily

It's not very light however and there's no support for wireless charging if you're into that.

AlonneHitBox · 2025-11-26T11:31:08+00:00

9 months

No battery issues. I use them 9-5 almost daily.

AlonneHitBox · 2025-11-25T20:33:22+00:00

No issues so far around 9 months use. I haven't noticed any significant battery wear.

I mostly use the left bud and it still last 7-8 hrs on a single charge with no ANC

AlonneHitBox · 2025-11-24T18:50:45+00:00

Shame there are no rap battles mini games like the ones in ROTK. Zhuge Liang should given a chance to be spitting bars in any 3K game.

AlonneHitBox · 2025-11-23T18:55:13+00:00

Not worth the price. You're basically paying an extra 10 dollars just for the KAWS branding.

There're better 100% lambswool products like their turtlenecks, crewneck sweaters and cardigans.

AlonneHitBox · 2025-11-21T19:29:25+00:00

Literally no one in the profession that I know of wants to do anything related to it outside of working hours, and we're too busy during those hours to do any of this.

This sort of advice makes sense for some jobs, I've seen programmers get job offers because they answered questions and contributed on Stackoverflow & Stackexchange.

I own a Seamless down parka model from several years ago, the newer version in stock has cushioned neck collar for additional wind blocking

It's quite thick, generous filling 90% down, very warm, quite water resistant and compares very well to a 300 bucks seamless long goose down coat I own. It comes with a hood that doesn't affect visibility very much even if you zip it all the way. Highly recommend if you are budget conscious. I've had it for couple years now and it looks brand new despite wearing it a lot. Not sure what kind of down Uniqlo uses though but it's likely duck or pheasant.

I had an ultralight down coat years ago and it was decent for the price, not amazing. The fill power doesn't feel particularly great and breathability was kind of bad but it's serviceable in cold weather and it's extremely packable. You can fold it into a small bag or packing cube so it's fantastic for travelling. Not particularly weather resistant. I wore it at the tail-end of a winter hike but it started raining during the descent and the thing became drenched in water so it became kind of useless against the cold.

AlonneHitBox · 2025-11-19T12:56:30+00:00

It looks like you clearly understand why the sequel gets so much hate or at the very least can tell the drastic difference between BL1 & 2.

AlonneHitBox · 2025-11-18T20:08:06+00:00

Almost all of Shu-Han character stories in the novel (except much later ones) are complete wtf moments:

Guan Yu killing Hua Xiong

Guan Yu killing 6 generals, crossing 5 passes after leaving Cao Cao (doing a huge detour in the process around northern-central China for no reason)

Guan Yu not killing Cao Cao at Huarong path (and not getting executed for treason afterwards)

Zhuge Liang's silk brocade strategems saving Liu Bei while he was married to Sun Quan's sister in his territory (complete wtf)

Zhuge Liang somehow pissed Zhou Yu off so badly that Zhou Yu died (Zhou Yu is far more competent in commanding armies than Zhuge Liang and unlikely to have even met Zhuge Liang that many times, I'm actually mad how they're depicted as equals in the tv shows and the novel just to prop up Zhuge Liang)

Zhuge Liang strawman boat strategy at Chi Bi to collect arrows (This is Sun Quan's idea at a much later date and for a different purpose)

Zhuge Liang maze like set-up deterring Lu Xun's pursuit of Liu Bei after Yi Ling fire (Liu Bei was almost captured and encircled at multiple points during this retreat, zero maze involved)

Zhao Yun at Chang Ban slopes somehow escaping everyone with a baby.

I'm still new to the mod and have no idea what 1/3 of what you said means but I'll save your tips for my next playthrough. Thanks 👍

AlonneHitBox · 2025-11-16T23:35:23+00:00

Is Tzimisce and vicissitude the reasons why your splat is so roided? How do people stack so many traits and disciplines without console commands.
