The Arcadium's Random Thoughts

@Ciggavelli what do you think about this?
Have you come across a great headset that works with both consoles?

No, unfortunately I haven’t. I think the different functionality of each system won’t allow it. I haven’t checked recently though. Perhaps there is some sort of attachment that can be substituted out when using each system, but I haven’t seen one. Sorry I couldn’t be of more help

I went ahead and returned the second set of Astro A40's (which I hated doing because I felt a little guilty about returning it knowing the store would lose a bit of money by having to sell it as an open box item but screw it).
I copped the A40 bundle with the new Mix Amp pro. The xbox one model was the only one in stock so I just went ahead and got it. Based on what I've read online, the easiest, and "cheapest" way to do it would be to just buy one bundle for the xbox and buy the mixamp by itself for the PS4.
So! After a few days of headache going back and forth to the store to get this right I can finally say I landed on an amazing headset.
The mixamp definitely takes things up several levels in terms of quality and overall volume.
If you're going to get an Astro headset, don't bother getting it without a mix amp. The difference isn't even fair.
The build quality of the set is great, they're light, the audio quality is fantastic, and the volume is great (at max they can feel too loud many times).

Went ahead and ordered a second Astro Mix Amp so I can have one set up on the PS4 and one on the XB1. Now I can just plug and play depending on the console I'm playing on.
(PC mode actually works if you want to use an XB1 mix amp on PS4 or vice versa BUT, you end up losing about 50% of the overall volume and after hearing its full potential I don't want to compromise). One neat feature that I didn't realize this headset has is the active monitoring on the mic so you can hear yourself in the headset while gaming. Now I don't have to keep one side off my ear slightly anymore to hear myself to avoid speaking loud as hell for no reason.

Is the 3ds dead?
I might cop one and grab some games (Pokémon etc) I’ve been out the mobile gaming scene in years since the ps vita debut

Anno 1800 is but they don't explain shyt in the game

Took me HOURS figuring out how to correctly set up expeditions, trade routes with others, trade routes with pirates, trade routes with my own islands, what the trade union does and how it works...how items in the game work...how to get them

Hilariously complicated production chains...no static set for goods so it takes awhile to know if you are really producing enough of what you need...

Built a really compact city then unlocked train stations and had nowhere to put them

I can see the devs working on this game and being like "people are never going to figure this shyt out"

Playing through this Hungarian FMV game from 2006.. thought it would be trash but it's been ok so far

The cheat code for Rage 2 is playing on Ultra settings with no HUD. That turned the game up to 10 for me on hard difficulty. Enjoyed the 2nd half of the game playing like that. Now I'm thinking about copping Sekiro, but for a game as old as it is I'd probably go out like a sucker paying $60
