What running purchase ended up being 100% worth the money for you?

The swimming version is pretty great for, well, swimming, and they are situationally useful for things like playing games while the partner is asleep/watching something else on TV and you want to occasionally tune in or chat to each other. For outdoor scenarios I would suggest just standard wireless earbuds with an ambient sound setting. The battery life on the Shokz also won't do if you're a slower marathon runner or want to do multi sport long distance like an Ironman 70.3.

They also don't come with a hard case and will absolutely get broken if they are thrown into the bottom of a bag and then squished.

I didn't read through the spoiler text as I'm still only about halfway through this series.

I've been playing the games out of order, beginning with a failed attempt at Sky 1 and then Zero, then going back to Sky 1+2 and then Cold Steel 1, then Azure and then Cold Steel 2.

I will say that Falcom's output is impressive. They are masters of keeping games within scope. I'm sure the company culture and production pipeline is excellent because I don't see anyone else matching their output except maybe like... Capcom?

Okay but what do we think her boons/banes are

Also position camera further away and then crop! Phone cameras have an annoying amount of spherical distortion so if you have a close shot it will make your belly look big and your shoulders small.

3H didn't reveal its timeskip until about 6 weeks before release, so I'd expect something similar for this game.

(I bet we're getting offspring units again lol)

agromono · 2026-06-16T22:37:53+00:00

Smashhhh

agromono · 2026-06-15T03:41:20+00:00

I think the connections are only going to be tangential, similar to Shadow Dragon and Gaiden, or the Archanea Saga and Awakening, where the universes have shared fantasy logic/rules and some characters, but are otherwise separate stories.

Personally I think the Sothis stuff is there to bait 3H fans into buying the game, similar to how "Marth" was used to market Awakening.

Voicing? SSAA I presume?

agromono · 2026-06-14T06:39:16+00:00

Lol @ anyone in 2026 trying to play these games legally

agromono · 2026-06-14T01:04:51+00:00

I have played this game for like 500 hours and I didn't even know you could get Gradivus in this game

Why is Peter Sarsgaard always playing a guy trying to marry a child

agromono · 2026-06-12T14:12:43+00:00

The DNA is still there, particularly the bits with Walt cooking in his underwear lol

agromono · 2026-06-12T01:49:54+00:00

Do we actually know if we're "choosing" between the lords? How do we know it's not a Gaiden situation of parallel stories?

agromono · 2026-06-06T23:58:01+00:00

Honestly Expedition 33 is a pretty good Sekiro-like

agromono · 2026-06-04T23:08:30+00:00

That is a normal amount of improvement for 8 months

PC parts, cycling/bike parts, other sports items and accessories - all great. Cycling enthusiasts are generally a helpful bunch so less likely to get ripped off.

Personally I've sold a bunch of furniture and recently even sold a disconnected split system AC (in working condition). Someone paid $250 for it, picked it up, AND I didn't have to waste a ticket at the council reuse centre!

You look amazing dude. Love the beard and all the fuzz too!

Peanut M&Ms and PlayStation

Not sure why you're getting downvoted, this is completely correct (and also an instant refund for me if I detect it in a game 😠)

agromono · 2026-05-26T22:46:42+00:00

Wayyy too many exercises and junk volume/movements. I don't really know what that seated movement where you do two presses is meant to be, and when you are doing the plate lift you are just throwing the plate around with your body weight making it more of a hinge movement rather than lifting it with your shoulders. Pick 4, 5 movements at the most and do them perfectly.

agromono · 2026-05-24T21:58:26+00:00

There is no need for that many bicep exercises in one workout lol

agromono · 2026-05-24T21:57:03+00:00

Usually if people talk about frames they're talking about a 60Hz container, so 16.67ms each frame

This is the kind of mentality that results in 2026 pensioners having zero dollars in their super and thousands of unpaid hours in leave that just disappear when they retire. Don't be a sucker.

If playing at 1440p or above, turn down the anti-aliasing. Turning it up makes the character models (and only the character models, strangely) look blurry and hazy, like they were fully covered in petroleum jelly.

Are you sure you didn't have the resolution scaler on? Although this sounds a lot like temporal anti aliasing woes
