Soulslike - Discussion, News, Memes
This is a community for discussion, news, and memes pertaining to the video game sub-genre "soulslike".
Given Lemmy's size, the definition of soulslike may be treated relatively loosely. While games like the numerous FromSoft titles, the recent Star Wars Jedi games, Lies of P, Nioh and similar games should be the focus, games that incorporate soulslike elements - like Hollow Knight and Blasphemous, for example - may also be discussed here.
Basic Lemmy-quette applies. Additionally, since flairs don't exist yet, please do make sure to include a marker to denote what game your post is about in square brackets for clarity's sake. An example could be:
[BB] This enemy is so difficult!
or
[DS1] Anyone struggling with the gargoyles?
Friends:
Should you have any questions, please do let me know.

A decade ago, I was working in a big tech office with plenty of headphone enthusiasts. Open-backed cans from like Sennheiser were the expensive gold standard. They sound fine, though since open-back headphones are just head mounted speakers that everyone around you can hear, not especially great for the office.
My $150 (at the time) VModa headphones sounded just as good to my ears, I preferred that they were tuned for more bass, and they had Bluetooth as an option when I just needed to hear things and wasn't worried about quality. The Bluetooth battery gave out years ago, and I've had to replace the foam ear cups, but the headphones still work fine.
I'm sure they're all much more expensive and worse quality now, but yes, generally audio equipment is overpriced to scam people because it's harder to discern quality in audio. Cheaper headphones paired with a cheap headphone amplifier will sound better to most people than spending twice the combined amount on expensive headphones.
yeah, i just grabbed the cheapest cans that are comfortable with my glasses and called it good. i don't need to be dropping $400 on a new set of headphones every five or six years (i am rough on mine), i can be happier spending $40 or 50 and replacing the cord every year for a decade
