  • I like it a lot.

    I have pretty narrow ear canals, so I can't really wear airpods without fear of them flying out while biking. The ear hook design solves that. I misplaced a pair of KZ AZ09s on holiday this summer, but I've since replaced them with a set of Fiio UTWS3.

    I have nothing but good things to say. The weight of the Bluetooth hooks negligible, especially because the majority of the weight is resting on your ears. I hardly feel them when I'm use (besides the feeling of the actual IEMs in my ears), and having a button on each ear is really convenient.

    The case is on the big side, but it fits well enough in my pockets to not be that big of a deal. The battery in the units are big enough to last for ages, and the battery in the case being an actual big battery means I charge them once a month, at most.

  • Better yet, you can get Bluetooth ear hooks for both 2-pin and MMCX IEMs, if you ever want to lose the cable. They last longer than airpod types, offer better sound quality, and you can replace them without replacing the IEMs themselves.

  • Hello nostalgia.

    I clocked a good 2000 hours in UT2004 between 2004 and 2008. Most of those were in trials and race maps.

    That was almost 20 years ago. Damn.

    I befriended one of the guys who made some of the first trials maps for Unreal, Eric. I believe he went by Pixelscope? He went on to work on Killing Floor, if I recall correctly. He also got me into making levels, modding and 3D modelling.

    Here I am, twenty years later, making a living as a VR developer. UT2004 not only made me a better gamer, it made me a game developer.

  • Am I misremembering, but did Baldur's Gate, Warcraft 2, or something ship with a cursor package for windows?

    I didn't have Internet back then, but I recall finding out that you could change the cursor to a gauntlet from one of those games, much to the chagrin of my parents.

  • In stark contrast to Europe, which enjoyed an abundance of high-quality iron, Japan's geographical limitations meant that the availability of good iron ore was scarce. Japanese bladesmiths had to work with whatever they could find, which was often of inferior quality. Despite these challenges, the Japanese developed a process to create their own steel, known as tamahagane or jewel steel.

    Tamahagane was produced through a labor-intensive method that involved smelting iron sand and charcoal in traditional clay furnaces called tatara. This process required an intricate...... read more (there are more weird articles)
