Even with 32 bit arithmetic you should get more accuracy than that, right?

Nope.

Twenty‐four bit significand yields seven good decimal digits and an approximation in the next.

The only thing Altoona got right was Mallow Cups.

That recipe is using float32 math, and is calling for 2^-1 * (1+2796203/2^23) cups of hotsauce

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

Ok, I can see the use for a noise cancelling microphone. But maybe make it look less like a ballgag

I'm a neurotic bitch so I hope everyone gets these so I can't hear them breathing on their mic. I've left MMO events when a guy with an open mic has the sniffles. Can't deal with it. That impenetrable plastic shell keeps the nose safely away from the mic.

The real test is if it makes it too difficult to snack while running a raid, because I'm not listening to some guy chew while his mic an inch away from his lips.

Not using PTT is a reason for immediate ban from the voice server in any gaming community worth being a part of.

uhh, I don't think that'll fix your problem as most MMO players don't breathe through their nose

Also I never knew this piece of the lore, loving lmao

In 2003, in the Something Awful Forums, user began to draft up a game. The game revolves around the concept of time travel. The entire game was planned to be completed in less than a year, however only one person on the team had previous game development experience as a professional developer. He was banned from the project for criticizing it.

The real story:
A Zamboni had a hydraulic line burst. That's hydraulic fluid.

It's a fun picture to see whenever it's reposted because it genuinely does look like a player exploded and their body was then dragged off the ice.

The trick is to use voice activated with a push-to-toggle-mute. Then you can talk freely without having to hold down another button in the middle of a fight, and you can easily mute yourself when you're going to cough or sneeze or sniffle or whatever.

Agreed.

I've heard of people using pedals--like for a driving sim--for push to talk.
