What's his nama!?

It's funny the few times a game/movie is set in Colorado. These types of goofs can definitely pull you out of the experience.

I have mixed feelings on this.  

It feels too close to joke about it, but still.

I've been thinking about how environments get kind of taken over by people. Roads and buildings replacing trees and grass, etc.  

This is usually how the future gets represented, as an extension of that.  But are there any where things take a wildly different direction due to technology?

Something like we have bioengineered a new type of plant that grows in the shape of a road. So now we drive on plants now.

Not that I know of. Best I can think of is nature "reclaiming" cities and people just making the best of it.

Hopefully that's our real future.

I bought a new pair of headphones, figured my old ones were due for replacement. Especially as they tend to get taken by the kids.  

They were more expensive than the previous ones, but they are a lot worse. They seem to have stopped working already, despite being less than 2 weeks old.

That's terrible.   

I do over the ear headphones and have always been happy with Sony's headphone.  I get the mid range ~$200 ones.

At least you're definitely within the return window.

My PS5 3D headphones are great. Although I'm not an audiophile so maybe they're trash, I wouldn't know.
