It is a real thing. Very few people have identical ears on both sides of their head, and almost no one shares the same shape with another person. There's a few active implementations of this on truly wireless earbuds, but the latency makes it irrelevant for most things except music. Depending on just how unique the ear shape is, it can drastically change how things sound.

In no capacity should it be a paid feature in a game, though. In a more competitive game with a lot of value placed on audio like Escape From Tarkov, this would completely change the game and how it is played.

TLDR: Your ears are unique, and your brain spends your entire life from the moment your ears are hearing things, tuning to them.

That is certainly true, I guess I needed to specifically call out that he actually does reply. And this has been a constant recurring "rediscovery" every few years that GabeN personally responds to that email.

That also wasn't the particular point I was even talking about. The point was that a previous dev would most likely still have connections inside Valve given how easy it is for outsiders. And that even if they had zero connections, again, it would be super easy to get a response.

This is all just speculation, but a relatively confident one.

Honestly, knowing how easy it is for just about anyone to contact GabeN (his email is publically accessible) and that this was a previous tester, I would say there's decent odds they're already contacted someone to make sure or already had permission to do so in some roundabout way. I have no way of knowing for sure, obviously, but it is super weird for this to pop up without the finder messaging anyone in Valve about it.

Either, just to be safe.

Just because they failed QA doesn't mean they failed marketing or won't be released anyways. That's the big wigs forcing shit through.

There's a reason different genres exist. For some, not having a challenge or competition is inherently unfun, others might not have fun in single player games. Generally speaking a game that doesn't challenge you at all though, isn't fun for many. Not that they cannot be fun at all, Animal Crossing is one of the larger games around, but it certainly cannot fill the "game" void for everyone.

Honestly the process to get ublock origin working is identical between the two of them, so being a chrome user doesn't really make it any harder. Obviously still a better idea to switch, but for that specific problem, its the same.

But... you've literally said nothing that could be right or wrong? You could say you're right all you want but you have genuinely 0 demonstratable point or idea. If you think that makes you right, keklmao I guess.

The entire point is that if such a need arose, you literally could. Either way you still failed to establish an sort of reasoning for AOSP, even a modified version of such, is unusable. If you did that, I wouldn't have anything else to say. I could disagree with that reason, but it would be understandable.

But the problem is not AOSP, but Google? This reference and forking could be done to any code or math out there, why is it somehow "not ok" only when AOSP comes into play? I personally cannot think of anything that would be a specific halting factor exclusively because it's AOSP. If your issue is with Google, then find a trustworthy fork that you like. You definitely ain't alone in hating Google, especially compared to the people developing these alternate OS's.

All that to say, why are you "flipping it on me" to "prove they no longer pull code from AOSP", when that wasn't even the target to hit, or the question.

If your issue is with Google, take issue with Google. Likewise, if your issue is somehow "literally everything Google has ever touched, even if they have no part in it today, or ever again." Then I got nothing. If you're that horny on main to burn Google to the ground, start writing your own mobile phone OS I guess, I simply don't see any other way you're going to hit that mark.

I mean... as an autistic person, when your only statement is "I've done this, this, and that. Nobody understands!" Your statement is very critically missing anything to do with what people are failing to understand, or what you're trying to accomplish. Autism can be hard, but complaining about this as an issue while not actually demonstrating an issue, and actually demonstrating a complete non-issue, is not going to get any help for yourself.

All you have specificied here is that you:

• Do things
• Aren't understood

What are we supposed to get out of that? Sure, nobody is understanding, but you've given nothing to interpret or understand.

If you have issues saying what you have issues with, I can relate, that is something I deal with. Expressing yourself can be hard. What makes it harder is not trying to express anything, because that "expressing" is hard. Express anything, even if it isn't perfect or close to what you're thinking, because at least you can hear yourself say it and think "oh, yea that is NOT it." Eventually you'll be left with whatever it is.

~~Admittedly, they were quoting someone else in the message you responded to. That may have been edited after the fact, but the person they're quoting did in fact say those words ("this is big").~~

It was I who couldn't read, as that is not what happened.
