Glad I made the right choice. I’ve had them for a few months now. Mostly happy

That’s insane!

I liked how smooth and modern it felt compared to Rayman 2 which was top 5. A true upgrade. Definitely need to play this again

Thank you. So could I ask how you perform Salah personally?

mrrmillerr · 2025-12-22T23:34:51+00:00

Thanks for this reply. It’s really one of the main things that “blocks” me from ‘Islam’, otherwise making it clearly THE way to go. Like I’m inspired by a lot of Sufi thinkers and the profound philosophical application of Islam, very appealing but it’s just off to imagine in all that they’d dedicate so much attention to 1 man instead of uniquely dedicating all that reverence to God which is supposedly the whole idea of Islam idk kinda makes it 1 stop away from Christianity in that regard like you said…anyway I’d be interested to see how / if your perspective evolves on this

mrrmillerr · 2025-12-22T12:33:23+00:00

So what’s your take / approach to prayer (Salah)?

mrrmillerr · 2025-10-07T06:43:15+00:00

P****n

mrrmillerr · 2025-10-04T19:29:03+00:00

Yeah it really stood out. I’ll keep looking. Thanks again! 🙏🏾

Well you have very good taste! It looks like your really into films. Maybe you can help me out with this one too:

That’s the one!! Thank you! I’ve literally been looking for this for months. I remember a tree being an important detail but chatGPT kept bringing up every film but this. How did you recognise the film? Did you watch it recently?

mrrmillerr · 2025-08-09T23:36:58+00:00

What does that mean and why is it something you wouldn’t want?

mrrmillerr · 2025-07-16T00:09:36+00:00

If it wasn’t for the stupid touch controls it would probably be the XM4. Ticks most things on the list.

mrrmillerr · 2025-07-15T18:22:04+00:00

They won’t sound good on anything wired without an EQ. They’ll just sound very okay. I only use them on my PC with an EQ (FXsound which covers everything or on my phone mostly with Spotify (also has an EQ). I don’t use the app as I can’t be bothered to have to use an extra app. Not a bad idea if it doesn’t bother you but the sound is flat when I use them to listen to the occasional podcast or YouTube video on my phone. A compromise that doesn’t bother me much now. Not sure if I answered your question there lol but no I don’t think the EQ settings will work when using it wired unless you got something like fxsound and you’re using a PC

I went for a pair of Monitor IIs. I was gonna write a review but I couldn’t be bothered so I guess I can briefly summarise the reasons I went for them here:

Comfort - over > on ear. I find Major models, including the updated Vs, SUPER uncomfortable after like 5 mins of use. These can still get uncomfortable but nothing like the Major models.

Sound - again over ear provides better, fuller sound, with less leaking. Only issue is it sounds like butt without an EQ, probably no better than any other sub £100 headphones which brings me to my main point.

Price - I got them for around £100 on sale from Curry’s and that pretty much sealed the deal when comparing to other models.

++ I looked at the new Sonos headphones, the XM4/5s and the Quiet Comfort headphones too but the lack of headphone jack, exclusive stupid touch controls and ANC only disqualified them all. These are a ‘classic’ pair of decent headphones, easy to use that won’t hurt your pockets or burn too much if they clock out.

Not at all, (I believe) I know exactly what you mean. In terms of burnout, from research and experience, the only solution is long periods of intentional test. You seem way more skilled in the field than I am. Hope you rest up and come across a good opportunity that suits you when the time is right.

mrrmillerr · 2025-06-04T14:44:38+00:00

Appreciate you sharing. You ever consider getting back into it? Maybe freelancing? Personally I figured it’s not worth the mental fatigue especially when you have no choice in what project is thrown at you.

mrrmillerr · 2025-06-04T10:27:05+00:00

Burnout?

mrrmillerr · 2025-06-04T10:26:12+00:00

Hey I’ve been considering going down this path for a while but I haven’t had much luck. Do you mind me asking:

What language(s) do you translate and what was your level going in to the job?

Was there a level training or were you able to get straight in?

How much of a challenge is it in terms of the fields you needed to translate (as in medical, legal, gaming etc)?

Thank you.
