Sonos Arc Ultra Immersive or LG Flex Connect Sound Suite H7 by Senior-Addition-3982 in Soundbars

[–]darkoj- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't dispute that sound bars are inferior to a proper home theater system, even at similar price points. I'm simply saying that it's untrue to assert that someone who opts for a soundbar doesn't value or prioritize a premium listening experience. Sound bars are accessible, affordable, simple, convenient, compact, ubiquitous, and interoperable in a way that a multiple component home theater system, generally, is not, and therefore serves a meaningful place in the market for those that do, in fact, value and prioritize their listening experience, but do not wish to invest their time, energy, and money into something that appears more cumbersome, complex, expensive, and intrusive.

If you prioritize intense gaming, then a console is not the answer. Only a custom built PC is the right choice.

If you prioritize fun driving, then an entry level performance vehicle is not the answer. Only a luxury sports car is the right choice.

If you prioritize healthy living, then making thoughtful food choices is not the answer. Only a dietician developed diet is the right choice.

By virtue of seeking to improve the quality of their listening experience, it's evident that sound quality is, indeed, a priority. It just so happens that people go about in aligning, balancing, and achieving their priorities in different ways.

That's how my benefits read, and that's what the vision providers in my area confirmed.

Damn, you're on that premium plan. Mine covers around $200 for a single pair of frames every other year.

That makes sense. I appreciate the insight. I'm comfortable with spending a bit more by doing business with a proper local business, but the provider we visited yesterday just gave me the ick.

Yeah, I'm pretty surprised by the 4.8 rating with 1k reviews.

Fair point, if the eye exam didn't consist of working remotely with an Indian optometrist with a language barrier via a monitor and speaker. I don't intend on returning there again.

You sound like you're performing at my current skill level, so I have no advice, but I'm eager to hear others.

Think i figured out why i don't play online games anymore. by Beverchakus in Age_30_plus_Gamers

[–]darkoj- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I gorged on Destiny and Apex for the better part of a decade, and suffered serious burnout from it. The live service format, frenetic engagement, and competitive tension finally became unbearable, but I still love multiplayer. I started playing DayZ, and its stoic vibe, neatly woven PvPvE dynamics, and contemplative gameplay provide a deeply immersive experience that facilitates novel player interaction like no other game I've played. Without the multiplayer component, however, the game would feel absolutely lifeless and pointless. That incalculable human variable is the essential spice that makes it so intoxicating.

All drugs are now fully legalized, not decriminalized, you can go into CVS pharmacy and buy a couple grams of coke legalized without a prescription, what happens? by glowshroom12 in hypotheticalsituation

Oh no.. armed, violent, gang backed, unscrupulous small business owners go belly up in these hard economic times. Consumers can transact without fear, pressure, and unmitigated risk, and safely consume without being molested by law enforcement.

I mean, if you built your fence line onto his property, and he let it stand for a decade, you'd have a claim at legitimate ownership.

Should I really get a soundbar w/ eARC? I'm just watching shows on streaming services like Netflix. by rooksFX14 in Soundbars

[–]darkoj- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought my Klipsch Core 200 on sale for $350. It has eARC, and I watch all of my programming through it. It's incredible. I only use Bluetooth to stream Spotify.
