Yeah, this is a huge problem. I found the best solution is to buy a 3.5mm audio cable with a microphone (these can be had for 10-20$) and attach them to a nice set of metal band headphones (closed or open depending on if you want sound isolation). I gave up on gaming, Sony headphones and the like a long time ago they are all trash no matter how much you pay for them, they break and become e-waste in the first year.

I would say one partial cure for this is to contribute to open source or if you are using open source in your projects see if you can get your company to allow you to contribute any fixes you have implemented up stream. Although at times rather than asking, I have fixed issues in a cpl of hours after work and pushed these up. But the simple fact is everything, even the most “advanced” projects eventually become obsolete, so I wouldn’t worry about it, it is just part of working in tech.

Surprisingly despite the forums the game has a “Very Positive” review, which is probably what I would have given it after playing the demo.

I remember thinking the same thing when the Steam Box and other Steam devices were revealed in 2025 and saying to myself wow, this is even more of a reason to love what Valve is doing.

What a cool space! Every community needs a space like this.

Just for those wondering, it seems a bit similar to Prince Of Persia the Lost Crown which I loved. I wish listed it.

I remember when everyone used mapquest. I think the term “map quest it” was an actual thing. The first time I saw google maps after using map quest for a cpl of years. I was completely blown away. . I think the thing I found most fascinating was that you could smoothly scroll between sections on the map without having to wait for the browser to reload the page. I had never seen Javascript (asynchronous data transfers) used like that before. I think people take it for granted that you can use the hand to grab a section and pull yourself seamlessly around a map now. But back then you clicked on an arrow then waited for the tiles to reload, it was painful. I think I continued to use Mapquest maybe for 6 months after that, thinking that surely they would implement this awesome new ui. but, nope… They never did… Maybe the fact that google maps started out as an application led to them making the UI similar on the web.

Anyways, a little more in depth of what I am talking about is here: https://medium.com/@lewgus/the-untold-story-about-the-founding-of-google-maps-e4a5430aec92
