headset or speakerset?

Home theater, primarily. I don't need anything fancy and I'm on a budget. Just want something balanced that's better than your average tv speaker or soundbar and don't really trust Amazon for this.

i went with a 2.1 logitech set (like the z623) a year or 2 back which soundwise is great, the drawback being ofc all sound comes from the front.
So my suggestion would be checking the 5.1 set which has a budget(z506) and normal edition (z906) afaik.
Why I don't go with surround sets in general is the placement of the boxes in the back of the room or on the wall, unless you go with massive towers

Ubisoft’s NFT platform is flopping
https://www.kitguru.net/gaming/matthew-wilson/ubisofts-nft-platform-is-flopping/
Despite little interest from the gaming crowd, Ubisoft forged ahead with its launch of Quartz, its own NFT platform, currently available in just a few select countries. So far, Quartz has only integrated with Ghost Recon Breakpoint, selling a few cosmetic masks and weapon skins with unique serial numbers as NFTs. If you were wondering how that’s going so far, well we seem to have an answer, and it’s not great for Ubisoft.

After Backlash, Ubisoft Calls Gaming NFTs a ‘Major Change That Will Take Time’

As usual, fuck ubisoft

Tencent= The Blobs Asian cousin.

Seriously, holdings companies are buying out big in the games industry. I swear one day, one of them is just going to sell all of these studios in a neatly wrapped bow to one of the big 3 or Google/Amazon.

Either that or these two stupidly large companies are going to replace the rest in the future, because they have stupid amounts of cash and studios under their belts. 

The best review that I have seen of Halo Infinite:

From the dude who cannot take criticism of his own content, that he had to make 1-2 videos "dunking" on said fans, in a cringe/sarcy manner that wasn't even trying to be haha funny.

I kinda fell off Dunkey's content when he pulled that, so I'm likely to not trust his take on halo, because if he can't take criticism aimed at him, he's not likely to be all that great at anything else (pretty important in the YT space to actually take that on board). 

Yea and that's fair. There are certainly things to like about it and I can see plenty of people enjoying it. Personally I didn't like it all that much and I think the video shows the positives that I had with it and the negatives that I had with it pretty nicely. 343 had quite a lot of time to spend on this, even more so than most developers out there so while it's good that there's going to be more story expansions and locations, they really should have been able to make the base game have much more variety.

Regardless of which though, what's there isn't bad but imo, I certainly expected more. But I am not the biggest Halo fan either. I loved Halo 1 cause it felt quite unique and fun for its time and I liked Halo 2/3. But that's where my Halo stopped and I skipped the rest until Infinite but I did watch a few recaps to understand the story up until now.

I don't really follow too much drama. He does make content that sometimes I agree with and sometimes I disagree with. I believe his FFVIIR review was the one that I disagreed with but after playing Halo, I do agree with this video.
