  • Console exclusives always seemed stupid to me. That said, I always preferred Xbox controller layouts.

    After 3/ODST, Halo was effectively over once Bungie sold off the IP. I’ve heard the new version is using AI in some capacity. If I really wanna play it, I’ll just play MCC on PC.

    2 and 3 are where the story really got exciting. It’s fun to play the games in strictly chronological order, where you play all of Reach and 1, 2 for a bit, switch ODST, finish 2, then play 3. Extremely satisfying.












  • Well, if there’s one thing that should drive you, it should be getting some form of education or vocational training and forging your own path forward, ideally someplace chill. There’s many places on the west coast where being effeminate is totally normal, and people are totally fine with that. I like it when people get to really be themselves, and I LOVE men who wear cute things. We need more cute apparel!

    I also think therapy would genuinely help you. If you put in your location, hit “all filters” and you can choose what type of therapy you want, and there’s also a separate section for Bisexual/Lesbian/LGBTQ+ (even if you are straight, filtering by these might get you a really thoughtful counselor.)

    Just to make this post too long, I was in a similar boat coming out years ago. Not quite the same, I think girly stuff is cute, but I also don’t go out of my way to wear it. Anyways, I was really stuck in a rut over sexuality, conflicts with religion, and my confusion with cute women, but also cute men. My life really turned around when I started talking to close friends about what I was going through.

    I went deep, no holds barred, we talked hard about everything and life. At the same time, I called my doctor’s office and got a referral for a therapist, who was excellent. That man really helped turn my life around, and recommended the site I linked above. Honestly, his help was all I needed. I’ve met someone I truly love, and everything all worked out in the end.

    The hardest part for me was calling that clinic and telling them that I needed help, and why I needed help. It was hard, but life slowly got easier after that.






  • I also have a standing desk, so my wireless receiver is pretty far from the actual PC (on the floor, weighs too much for the desk motors). Latency issues aside, I ditched wireless because I was constantly having to swap/charge batteries in the middle of something important. I’d consider going back, as I’m sure most mice have longer battery life these years. It had “30 day” battery life, but only if you turned it off whenever it wasn’t in use. It got annoying, haha.


    Back in uni, I was using a 90s wooden desk with a pull-out mousepad for the g602. There was noticeable lag, which was a bit unfortunate. I only realized that after using someone’s corded no-name mouse from Amazon and was amazed at how responsive it was. Ooof. Even having the receiver close didn’t fix it!





  • I’ll be honest, I mainly keep the same DPI levels. Buuuut, every once in awhile, there’s a few indie titles with really weird sensitivity levels (eg, The Forest) that make having a DPI switch really nice. Some games and productivity programs also benefit from lower or higher DPI profiles on the fly. I’m the type of person that downloads the mouse bloatware once, configures things, then uninstalls it, haha.
