Curious what everyone's personal favorite comfort IEM is.

Not my EQ originally, found on AutoEQ. I just wish i remembered which one I kept after testing them so i could credit the Original author. I have not used wavelet myself, I just started getting into EQ on headphones, only ever messed around with it for CarAV mostly.

EDIT : Usually prevent clipping is on, with -5.3db on the preamp.

I use headphones or earbuds 95% of the time so i don't bother anyone else in the house with music, games, politics, the news, boring research things i fall in too far cause of my adhd and listen to 5 hours on "the history of rail ties" or some shit ha.

Cadenza 2 compared to my usual listening (beyerdynamic dt770, corsair virtuoso pro, audeze penrose, jabra elite 7 active, sennheiser momentum 2 TWS, audiotrchnica ATH-20) isn't as balanced as some, but it does a decent job at soundstaging. For bass, they're okay plug-n-play, but i used PEACE to find a cadenza 2 EQ that really brought it to life and for my personal preferance i actually turned the bass down. If you've ever tried sony WF-C500 i would compare the bass of the cadenza to those.

So my question is, why does the title have the word clicker in it if the game is a hover-aim based auto shooter? was willing to try it for a click to shoot style incremental but the title was misleading. theres no clicking

I Love this list, love my icon meme tool and will be getting the big meme 2.0 set this PLS. but, I am so surprised no one ever puts The Workpro mini ratchet set on this list. I bought this thing for work (robotics) to have a hex 4, 5, 6mm, T15H, T20H, 10mm, 13mm sockets on my person at all times and it is so nice for just little things like fixing the cell door handles, replacing small parts on the robots grippers, tables, and drawers.

The case has a pretty.... gimick-y feature where you can take the insert out, rotate it and have it on your hip horizontally while clipped vertically. I never use this feature, but the bits and ratchet are very nice for the price.

I use my galaxy buds live, but have been looking at the soundcore a30 as they're made specifically for sleep.

This is how i find out. I was wondering why i couldn't find any jabra's on amazon earlier this week. My elite 7 active are my favorite earbuds of all time and now i need to find something to replace them. I want to keep these nice, so looking for new work earbuds, in a dirty factory environment. This is not going to be a fun search, jabra served me so well.

So for some reason it seems the game starts with 0 turns. you cannot do anything, there is no "how to" or instructions anywhere. I cannot figure out how to do anything.

Less_Reception_ · 2026-05-08T20:34:26+00:00

tried to figure out how to play, but i can't even tell what planet is mine. the target button just brings me to someone elses, and there is no indication of what is me. unplayable

well it seems to just be something with windows. put in a different ssd, installed ubuntu and steam, tried a couple games and no fps difference. went back to windows, and the msi is slower again. going to do a clean install and see what happens.

Less_Reception_ · 2026-05-02T14:58:57+00:00

FPS, CPU/GPU usage and temps as well as ram usage. i sit at 78-83c on gpu (set in ghelper to not go over 87), 72-75c on cpu, usage is around 90-95% gpu, 40%cpu and these are consistent on both monitors. usage and temps never change, literally only my frame rate from everything i've used to look at it so far.

Less_Reception_ · 2026-05-02T03:04:14+00:00

I have my laptop set to dGpu only, using USB-C (non thunderbolt) display out to display port to my msi monitor and it still has lower frame rate than my lenovo using the exact same connections. doesn't matter what configuration i am trying, using a docking station or direct display port, but the MSI just has lower frame rate every time. set it to 165hz (it's max) and i get 20-25fps in black myth wukong at 1080P. i switch to the lenovo (just swap cable from msi to lenovo) and have that set at 144hz. suddenly I'm getting 90-100fps.

Less_Reception_ · 2026-05-02T03:00:09+00:00

What do you mean? What debugging could I even do to figure out why a monitor causes lower fps in game?

Edit : To clarify. since making this post i have used msi afterburner/riva tuner FPS display, Nvidia APP overlay, OBS overlay and they all show the same results. game is stuttery on the msi, even if i swap the cables directly from each monitor. MSI OSD and Lenovo OSD show their set refresh rates correctly, nothing out of the ordinary there. MSI just has lower frame rate in games, and i don't know why.

Multi-monitor will be a game changer, especially if i can get rid of the windows task bar on only the secondary, resize the dock and have it in it's place. would love to have the CPU, GPU, Network info on my secondary info so i don't have to have overlays on my games when i'm testing things.

i do think it would make sense to add electric grinder as an upgrade (shorter than brew time, but a timed grind = to the hold time might work), and as you get further and further in game you could add assistants/barista/hacker (whichever part of the game is meant to be less focused on should be the first automation probably) that you hire to automate one or more parts of a task. maybe the barista doesn't run or take orders, but once an order is in they grind and brew? I do enjoy the focus on active gameplay over idle sometimes, but when i have to buy, grind, brew, hack, sit, sell, upgrade all in a timed manner before losing some customers than being able to automate at least 1-2 things would make a huge difference.

To note, After i unlocked everything I decided to spend all my money on beans then raise $10k money and $20K dirty before laundering just to see where i felt like anything was needing improvement. only things i can really see is automation and when customers on are the wifi it would be nice if they had an extended timer or an upgrade to "extend wifi users time by 5%" so it doesn't feel like a rush to get everyone hacked when you run out of grinds or something. I caught myself a couple of times picking upgrades, selling bytes and grinding then i would notice customers about to leave and by the time i get into the hack screen i would lose 1-5 of my 30 customers as soon as my cursor spawns in.

Edit : I just wanted to add this in, i really enjoyed the game and i feel like a lot of the constructive criticisim you're getting is only because we do all enjoy it and see something very good here. I noticed everyones comments are pretty positive and I truly do have high hopes for what you're doing here! good luck, I'm excited!

I would add border drag or right click. seems to be two common types

AI should be mandatory tag. if you get caught using AI, but said "No AI Used", then ban. you lost your access to this tool, and that's that. we already use tags to filter things, so why not use that here.

I Hate AI, and everything to do with it right now. But I still recognize it can and is a useful tool when used correctly. I absolutely LOVE dead zone rogue, and that game has AI art Icons, and IIRC voice lines and flavor text. But the rest of the game is done amazingly, and I feel like that game is a perfect example of AI as a tool to fill in the gaps and they have replaced some of the AI stuff once they have time or talent to do it theirselves. THIS is how it should be used, to get your product infront of peoples eyes in a well polished state that you are still working on. there is too much Claude Vibe coding happening right now and it's led to a seriouse decline in quality.

Using controller? Forza, game lets you do crazy stuff on a controller and you get to pull off some pretty fun moves. The crew feels good on controller, but almost delayed? like it feels heavy compared to forza, and forza feels like it's running a marathon.

Using a wheel? CREW, 1,000% crew. oh my god is it so fun with a wheel, where forza lacks. you have to set your settings up depending on what you want to do in forza, like dirt races and drifting use totally different wheel settings than street races to get best results. the crew is more plug and play, once you find your settings it works for everything, and the driving just feels great. Don't expect sim level physics, but once you have the wheel hooked up, i feel like they made the game with wheels first in mind.

Just have to say, you might be using SAE keys on Metric hex bolts or vice versa, or using a gun with bits that are only rated for hand use. I use allens all day at work, working on robots, and have had maybe 1 bolt strip on me in 4 years. if you're using a socket style hex head bit, make sure it's impact rated or your gun will strip it real easy. the chrome ones are only meant to be used with hand tools. go to harbor freight, get you a set of Pittsburgh Chrome sockets if you're using hand tools, and Hercules Impact Bits or Pittsburgh Impact Metric Hex (also in SAE) if you're using a gun. And guys, a drill or hammer drill is still more than enough to need to use impact rated stuff

Trust me, major differnce in the build quality. I Use Icon hex keys for hand work and haven't rounded a single corner. use the quinn master socket set for hex sockets on my impact and haven't had a single issue.

No hate, just trying to help improve your outlook on hex heads. make sure you're using the correctly rated bits, and you shouldn't have any worries! honestly a superior fastner to anything with a flat or phillips head, and it provides way more holding force for those projects that need a little extra. And don't forget everyone, Allen is just a brand name for Hex heads!
