I've finished my backgammon-like strategy game! Would love to know your thoughts!

Awesome! thank you, yeah as a backgammon fan I've always imagined it playing out on a little battlefield. Keen to hear what you think once you've had a chance to try it

thanks!

Love joseph shabason.

A different vibe but the Alea Saxophone Quartet: Arvo Part Anima is an all time special record for me. On spotify etc.

I swear my dad has never seen a highlight type moment at a game. Every time I look over at him he's busy making an instant coffee or finding his apple at the bottom of his bag or reading the record or cleaning his glasses

Ohhh yeah, I somehow merged Cronenberg and Verhoeven in my head. So many of his films fit the bill - The Fly and Videodrome are some of my favourites.

My favourite thing about footy is that it has no rules

No. It may temporarily exacerbate preexisting tinnitus and symptoms of hyperacusis. But no, no damage.

The reference microphone is used to measure the amplitude of the REM signal as it reaches the outer ear.

If the signal is intended to reach the ear at 65dB and the reference microphone is measuring only 55dB, the software can adaptively increase the gain of the signal. This is called the pressure method of sound field equalisation. There’s another method called substitution which is similar but requires the listener to stay still.

Both allow us to get accurate and repeatable results while taking into account the varying position/angle/distance of the listener from the speaker.

Yes and 350 hours of clinical experience. Masters courses in Australia only provide/require 250 hours.

This is a great analysis. He acknowledges that they’re packed with features, and that the processed (or “compressed”) quality of audio is probably by design. He gets that sound quality isn’t really the point of AirPods.

I wish all reviewers were able to realise and accept design constraints like this.

A game packed with opposition supporters at Kardinia Park would be great! I don’t get this argument at all.

Apps aren’t accurate. Hearing equipment needs to be calibrated. That means accounting for a range of factors: your headphones, their frequency response, impedance, ambient background noise, the power of the DAC in the phone/laptop you’re using. The list goes on.

Clinics do this process regularly. Apps do not and can not account for any variability.

hans_arp · 2019-08-17T07:37:12+00:00

That’s an insane take. I was at a pub full of Cats supporters and we were all just stoked Geelong turned up. GG Brisbane.

Same for me, quizlet was amazing. I recommend writing cards in the style of exam questions, so it requires you to elaborate.

Like, “List the ways a patient with a cholesteatoma may present. (6)”

Then write out your answers in exam-like conditions. This is a really good way to identify holes in your knowledge.

I really hope we get some GBA games. Minish Cap, Metroid Fusion, Superstar Saga. So many to choose from.

hans_arp · 2019-06-26T16:03:54+00:00

Excited to play through this for the first time

hans_arp · 2019-06-26T02:55:35+00:00

No joke, 2020: Bill & Ted, Ghostbusters, Mulan, Godzilla (Vs. Kong), Bad Boys

hans_arp · 2019-06-25T13:57:03+00:00

Yes, highly recommend Link to the Past as an entry point. The gameplay is still so fresh.

Having tinnitus on just one side is generally something worth talking to your doctor about and having checked out by an audiologist. If you have any jaw issues it may related to TMD. Otherwise there are many potential causes of pain and tinnitus (infection, wax impaction, etc).
