  • 1080p and 4k isn’t really a fair comparison for great earbuds and shit earbuds in my opinion. The comparison there is like 4k and 480p. There is a massive difference between the 2. I have had $30 earbuds that you couldn’t listen to a podcast on, and I currently have $250+ Bose earbuds that are fucking amazing for just about everything.

    Unless of course you’re saying that these earbuds are in fact “1080p” quality. In which case, fair point. I have yet to see someone who’s actually used these and commented on the sound quality though. What I’ve seen from fairphone products is they are consumer friendly at the expense of quality.





  • You’d want people to pay you for using a product they consume, especially if it’s a quality product. You sound like you’re entitled to free shit just because someone made their “fair share” off a game, and I’m sure that fair share is whatever arbitrary number you deem valid, which I’m guessing is low.

    I’m saying, pay developers if you enjoy their stuff, especially indie developers. Vote with your wallet. Make it known you enjoy their stuff, so they make more of it. If you want to pirate, feel free, I encourage it, but also pay people what their worth if you can afford to do so. That’s my main point.

    For you, do whatever the fuck you want because you’re not interested in listening to logic or reasoning anyway.







  • Going to go a bit against the grain on this one and recommend SecretLab. It does have that “gaming chair” aesthetic, but it is a great chair IMO.

    I work from home, sit on my ass for 8 hours straight, and occasionally game right after work into the evening. I can park my ass in that thing and sit for 16 hours no problem (obviously getting up to take short breaks etc). It is super comfortable. I own the mesh one, instead of the leather/pleather, and I think it’s the way to go.

    Furthermore, the customer service is excellent. I needed to replace the armrest after 4 years as it was beginning to crack. My model didn’t come with the snap on/snap off armrests, so I had to send an email to customer support to see if there was something they could do. Not only did they inform me it was actually easily replaceable, they sent me instructions, and gave me 50% of the replacement cost, which was only $20CAD, as I was just over the warranty at that point. It might be a 3 year warranty, but I can’t quite remember, possibly 4.

    My circle of friends largely work from home as well, and many of them have SecretLab chairs, and they also love them. No back problems, super comfy, breathable.

    The only downside I can really think of is that it is a fairly heavy chair, as the base uses a large amount of metal, and the price tag can be expensive, at around $500-$700CAD if you purchase new.

    They are also sized to fit your height and weight. I own the Titan 2020 model, and I love it.

    Hope this helps!
