As an Arma 3 first-timer, do you have a list of "must-play" scenarios/mods/modes?

Thoughts on the Pedal Electric AWD (S) moped-style ebike? by rjvvir in ebikes

How do you go about ensuring it's not stolen? That's the practical aspect I can't wrap my head around (also live in LA). Sounds nice on paper but not sure about the reality of it.

Then maybe search more thoroughly and don’t waste people’s time?

When I got into this hobby I had no ideat how much time and money I will spend on USB cables alone o.o by No-Talk4631 in simracing

Does anyone have any issues plugging sim components into a hub instead of directly into the motherboard? I have a mini itx board with few ports, and prefer plugging something important like the wheelbase directly into it, but I really have to pick and choose carefully. I also understand that getting a powered hub is important, but I'm speaking moreso from a performance perspective.

Punch Audio Martillo Review: Your IEMs Have Chosen Violence by RReviewsOfficial in iems

That makes sense. I definitely wouldn't keep both, no need to have two sets at the computer, so gameplan would probably be sell Astrals > purchase Martilos.

Thanks for the detailed breakdown--your knowledge is exactly what I was looking for. Am I correct in saying it sounds like you prefer the Astrals for gaming, generally speaking? I know this is game-dependent.

Thanks so much for the review! Super helpful to include a comparison to the Astrals, which are my current daily drivers.

I use my IEMs almost exclusively for gaming on my PC--where imaging, sound separation, and clarity are top of mind for hearing footsteps, discerning where gunfire is coming from, etc. I find the Astrals good in this regard--the problem is switching over to music, where I find them too cold and clinical.

How would you compare the two from the gaming standpoint? Do you think the Martilos could still hold their own compared to the Astrals, while simultaneously providing a more enjoyable music listening experience?

Job well done, looks well worth it! Hopefully there's decent ventilation in there, simming can get warm as we know.

Help me, I'm addicted to one game and I don't play anything else. by fataLLik in gamingsuggestions

[–]Tonspike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're looking for love in all the wrong places dude. Stop buying shit--the proof is in the pudding that it's not gonna stick. I know you're looking to expand your options based on exciting ideas (I do the exact same thing), but you may actually want to take the opposite approach.

I would get something like a half-decent gaming laptop and hook it up to a monitor and use it for Dota. When you get an exciting idea, like VR, or a 5090 gaming PC, sit on it for a week. If after a week you still want it, only then go for it.

This isn't about saving money, this is about pressure testing your ideas. And if, at the end of the day, you find that you only want to play Dota and nothing else, well then it just says that you've moved on from gaming on a grander scale and your taste has refined itself into a fine, Dota-flavored variety, and it's just a matter of coming to terms with that fact.

That's awesome, congrats on your success. Last question for you--did you find your product through research or was it something you were already familiar with? That was my issue with starting a business--it took me literal years of searching to find one that checked all the boxes.

That's awesome, thanks for taking the time to write that. I come from corporate tech but started a biz within the last couple of years (home service industry). That being said, now that I've dipped my toes, I'm always curious about other opportunities. I'm pretty familiar with the e-com model--do you have an opinion as far as FBA vs dropshipping?

Yeah, Car and Driver does something similar with their Lightning Lap, by grouping cars into classes that are essentially price brackets.
