Oh my god...

You never know how much you cared about someone until they are gone...

I thought he died years ago

no he retired years ago

I have no idea who that is

I literally only knew him as the lion king 😔 that's one less lion to fight the pokemon...

Boomer 9/11

Christmas (f.d. 9/11) came early this year

(2 days)

Wait

If we get approved in time we can launch the game's steam page on 9/11

The Apple event talked a lot about hearing ranges

and I was curious where I topped out at

this is for frequency ranges, not attenuation

I can't hear past ~18.2KHz

i can feel it all the way to the end but i can't tell if i'm "hearing" it or not

I think if you can feel it, that counts

you're supposed to be able to hear the whole thing

i get to 15k

when I click at 19k, and turn it on, I can't hear/feel anything for reference Pirate

are you using headphones or speakers

speakers

it works for either, I tried it with both, same-ish results

unless like, your speakers have a hum whenever they are powered on

or something like that

I have a subwoofer

shouldn't matter for high pitches

A lot of earbud drivers top out at 18.5

I feel like the new airpods are going to convince 90% of people (women) they have hearing loss

just based on how prominent the hearing stuff is

Are they making the new airpod have a larger range?

Because my pros got to 18.7 before it cut

it's kinda cool, auto-tuning all audio based on hearing ranges

but it's self-reported

so it's going to be a lot of people being told they have hearing loss (based on some app they're putting out) which will tune their audio a certain way to make it sound "better"

their whole pitch was mostly for the weirdos who wear their airpods 24/7

which you will never be able to convince me is normal human behavior

its the drivers

its real crackly at 20 but itll do it

Regi and Pirate have the best ears

nah im p sure other people would hear higher too but its device limited

i hear all 20k

the issue is like, no music is in any of these ranges

ever

nor is any other audio

so why would you ever care

its something that happens as you grow older

oldest in this conversation has the worst absurdly high pitch hearing

Max, what if you want to hear the wifi bouncing around your house

my hearing is definitely fucked in other ways

but i can hear to 20k

me to spooky is less than 3 musical notes at that pitch range

I have F-tier echolocation

or whatever the term is

like, genuinely absurdly bad

for games i was okay with it and then when i bought my open back headphones i felt like an unironic 30x improvement

in games with good sound

I never thought of it, but musical notes follow a log scale dont they

to the point i can pinpoint mental space create the location of a dropped objkect in my head

because of the frequency required for each octave

in real life i dont feel that ever though

its log based twelfth root of 2

game spacial audio is different

because there's no multipath

something directly in front of me can be emitting audio irl, and I will think it's behind me to the right

audio ray tracing sounds like a fun thing to develop for no one to appreciate

i appreciate it when a game has perfect audio

becuase when a game has bad audio its noticbly bad

name one game with "perfect audio"

lifeline

bioshock series

games rarely get audio mixing right, so often the music will blow out the dialogue or vice-versa

unironically

siege

as well has very good audio

wrong

Crusader Kings 2 was the right answer

i assumed you were talking about the topic i mentioned
