Paradox

These don't really feel like a garden hose, best comparable thing is the spray from a good impact or rotor sprinkler.

I didn't get the long nut because it wasn't an option when I bought them a few years ago haha

I liked em so much I wrote a blog post about it

I used to feel the same way, going as far as to drill out the flow restriction devices, but I found a shower head I actually like a few years back, a high Sierra brand one, and even it's lowest flow model feels powerful

Updates that fix bugs come to PC far earlier than Xbox sometimes never coming at all. Games, when not on gamepass, even from Microsoft, are typically cheaper on other platforms. And sometimes they just don't even put content on the Xbox

Last fall was halo 2's 20th anniversary. If you only played Xbox, you could have forgotten it. Microsoft did nothing on the Xbox about it. But on PC, they promoted the released E3 demo levels

Finally there's the lack of investment in any hardware upgrades. The controllers still use the same crap alps stick modules, the vibration is still two big dumb motors, and the buttons are still just graphite pads on a PCB. Even on the $200 elite controllers. There's no single channel wireless headset available first party, just stereo ones, and the add on storage still remains horrifically overpriced years later

Then why are you treating us like second class citizens?

My only beef with Microsoft and Xbox is that they're not willing to open up these systems to any sort of macros or even complex rebinding.

Shame, because I used to actually admire how he handled layoffs. Was a far sight better (from outside looking in) than the "thanks, here's one extra paycheck, send your laptop back at your expense please" I'd experienced

People use mouse on Xbox. There will always be some

Any puzzle made by Oskar van Deventer. He's got a ton of them, they're all free, and he posts YouTube videos about them all

Wonder how many things they shit up

I was surprised to find that an old Plex feature, controlling any one player from any other instance, such as playing on a laptop and controlling with a cell phone, no longer worked. My wife and I used that a lot when traveling, as plugging a laptop into a hotel TV with an HDMI cable is generally far more bullet proof than any streaming stick

Course sometimes we'd stay in an Airbnb, and they'd have a Roku or Apple TV, where we'd just sign into a Plex app and use it there. But that's beyond the point

I've heard the song and dance from all the tech companies at this point. Google and Microsoft both offered a package that promised things like chart portability and whatnot. Each was shut down a couple years later, and charts and records remain as locked down as ever
