I'm fairly sure Greatorder's RL name is Dick.

And his name is not a joke, be more sensitive to the needs of others!

Mr. Dick Fapmaster...?

Apparently, $60 noise-cancelling headphones don't actually reduce noise by 87.5%.

Either that, or the remaining 12.5% is the noisy part.

This is extremely upsetting.

[Willfor]

What kind of noise are you trying to cancel? Even specially made headphones have trouble blocking lower frequencies due to their low wavelengths and the physics of sound.

There goes a half hour's worth of typing, thanks to an internet outage and an accidental refresh.

OMFG NOOBS, QUIT HITTING THE FUCKING ATMOSPHERE AS SOON AS IT BECOMES AVAILABLE! MORONS!

Aaaaaannndddd Robocraft I'm guessing, if I'm right, then he's talking about the fact that some people put enough helium blocks (they provide passive lift) and nothing else on their vehicles that they fly up to the top of the map, giving them a massive height advantage.

I think.

[Lyeos]

Meanwhile I drive around in my tank covered with railguns and shoot them down.
Huzzah!
 

Really though, it is kind of annoying.
Saving to actually make a mobile blimp, though.

That game is rage-worthy, though.
Especially when people decide that the guy with the slowest-firing weapon should totally be the shield. 

[Execute/Dumbo.exe]

I keep massively over designing everything I make, most notably with this big four wheeler truck that I reinforced the wheels by covering them with electroplates.
Of course, I should have reinforced the pilot seat instead of the wheels but whatever, of course, those weird douches would be stopped from doing that if all weapons have range drop off.

Or you know, not have helium blocks because they don't add anything.

Sorry no, Warframe. There's this game mode where UNLIMITED GUIS come at you non-stop. You leave when you can't take the heat. The only thing that actually forces you to leave is the level losing atmosphere, or being a scrub ass noob. When the atmosphere hits zero, you're all basically fucked. The longer you stay, the faster it drains. So there are these atmosphere modules that drop on a semi random but regular basis, give you lots of atmosphere back. Little bits of atmosphere drop off of guys too, also randomly.

To add on to that, there's an event running where you need to kill lots of one certain variety of special leader mobs that spawn in ever more frequent amounts the longer you play. You want to break 20 minutes, that's when they start piling on and you have the best chance of killing lots of them quickly.

Smart players hoard their atmosphere drops as much as they can. They rely on enemy drops as much as they can, and only hit atmosphere when it's really, really low. The randomization on the atmosphere basically means you will run out if you hit it every time it comes up. So you hoard as much as you can as a stockpile for the lean times when enemies thin out and atmosphere isn't dropping off them as much. That's how you go 45 minutes or an hour in Survival without breaking a sweat.

AND FUCKING NOOBS HIT THE FUCKING ATMOSPHERE AS SOON AS IT POPS, WHICH MEANS BY THE ODDS, AT 15 MINUTES, WE'RE FUCKED BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T CONSERVE SHIT, AND WE END THE LEVEL LIKE A BUNCH OF LIMP DICKS WITH NO EVENT PROGRESS BECAUSE WE SAW FUCK ALL OF THE MOBS WE'RE ALL THERE TO KILL. 5 GODDAMN GROUPS AND OVER AN HOUR OF MY TIME: FUCKING WASTED.

[Execute/Dumbo.exe]

Right, it's just that hitting atmosphere + knowledge of Robocraft + never played war frame = thinking of 'floaters'

ARRGHH, video editing.  There's a reason I never got all that into it!

I love the Highlander TV show.  Unfortunately, the things I love about Highlander are not at all the things the director loved about Highlander. Like motorcycle racing, and really clumsy sophomore philosophy.  This finally irritated me enough that I'm ripping my DVDs so I can pull out the idiotic bits of my favorite episodes. 

Only I misplaced my key for my Adobe suite years and years (and a computer) ago.  So I'm stuck with these worthless install disks.  An hour of searching turns up an open source program that should work, and I finally manage to remove Irritating scene #1. 

Only the resulting video is low quality enough that even I notice it. So now I need to learn how to rip the stupid things better.  In fact, all of the things I deliberately decided to avoid when I got into fandom in the first place, because it was freaking impossible to learn.  So that when I invite my friends over to watch in celebration, it doesn't look terrible.

AARRGH THIS HAS TAKEN DAYS AND THE ONLY REASON I HAVEN'T STOPPED IS BECAUSE I WILL NOT LET TECHNOLOGY DEFEAT ME.  I CAN CONQUER THIS.

I logged in today just to post this rant.

Television, conversation, and random city noise. I'm not currently at my home, so I haven't been able to fully test it, but it didn't really quiet voices or television.

I looked up the headphones online, and they got poor reviews.

[Frumple]

... yeah, it's probably going to have trouble with TV and voices, anyway. I've been using gun-range sound-blocker whatsits for a while, and even those have trouble with voices and whatnot. Plus, y'know, TV does a lot of shit with sound specifically to make it catch people's attention.

You have no idea how much I hate TV because of that. So much hate.

Or it could just be fairly low quality noise canceling wazdingers, too.
