Both PlayStation and Xbox have some really hard hitting exclusives comparable to the Elder Scrolls series, but my intention was not to start a pissing contest of who has the most or the best.

I'm currently neglecting my fairly decent and expensive gaming PC with GamePass because I prefer the PS5, but AFAIK Xbox has pretty much 95 % of games that we have on PS and we have 95 % of games that they have..? I'd actually lov

> natural scrolling is just an awful idea for mouse IMO there’s no objective reason why. Natural scrolling is not what a lot of people are used to with a mouse, but it’s perfectly usable and even more consistent if you’re using the Magic

Interesting, I don’t think I’ve ever visited a “shoes on” household in my whole life in Czechia. Some households offer slippers to guests (in houses with cold floors), but you obviously don’t wear those anywhere else.

Speaking of affordable, Apple TV + Dolby Atmos movies + AirPods Pro 2 with spatial audio enabled is probably the consumer friendly way to go for dynamic surround sound that won't get you evicted.

True, but I'd argue that the effect only starts to kick in at some point around $400 or so for a pair of headphones. Above that point the curve of performance/price flattens fast and soon you're getting into the esoteric terr

Both the HD555 and 595 were very competitively priced (!), were popular and sold well. How exactly do you think that companies price their products other than "what enough people are willing to pay"?
