So in Apex, it’s great, because there’s so much there, and there’s different ways to represent it – there’s not one way to be gay.

The Go XLR Mini makes it easier, and it’s currently on sale at Amazon US.Let me tell you a story about my struggles with the Windows audio settings. There is no telling how Windows will react to having multiple audio sources going off at once, and over the years I’ve dealt with applications inexplicably muted, settings reverting or changing without reason, Windows updates ruining the best-laid plans… the list goes on and on. Making sure Windows plays…

By Grace Curtis, Wednesday, 30 December 2020 15:33 GMT Let’s do a little experiment. Flex your shoulders back and count how many times your spine goes pop. Personally I’d put it at somewhere between fifteen and thirty, but that’s just me. Maybe it’s time to invest in a better chair – like those gigantic cushioned thrones they sell at Secretlab, which are currently on sale.
