If you would not mind me rolling the golden apple inscribed with "what are the best headphones" onto fedi, I would love to get some recommendations because I don't just want to spend $400, even if it's every 5 years, to replace otherwise-functioning device just because of this dubious aesthetic feature. I vastly prefer the earcups that are just soft velour anyway, I don't want the "leather feel"
@glyph this will cover your first use case: I say this without hyperbole OR any sponsorship what so ever: the KOSS KSC75 are the best headphones I have ever purchased in my entire life. The KOSS KSC75 are the only head phones that have ever inspired me to make fan art. They cost $30 and they sound like they cost $100.
here's their product listing if you are interested https://koss.com/products/ksc75
and a thread of me raving about how great they are https://mastodon.gamedev.place/@aeva/112765095367729118

@glyph despite me joking about them merely "sounding alright" they actually have a pretty good frequency response curve iirc

@aeva this is high praise and "wore all day, didn't trigger a headache" is about as good as a headphone can get. I like that they're small too because the pile of 5 different headphones on my desk can definitely be inconvenient. And at… yeesh, apparently on sale for $20? I can just throw them out if they don't work for me

@glyph oh, I didn't know they were on sale! I should buy a few more so I have spares if I break mine. honestly I'm astonished that I haven't broken them yet, I'm not gentle with headphones.

@glyph also, I cannot emphasize this enough normally I can't wear headphones for more than a few hours on a good day before I'm in a lot of pain. My KSC75s are so light and gentle I sometimes absent mindedly put them on without listening to anything at all and just leave them on because they're comforting and don't hurt.

@glyph also if you do get them and you like how they sound but want something that's a bit more snug, I'm pretty sure the kph30i and porta pros use the same drivers.

@glyph also I used to swear by their "sparkplug" earbuds for basically being earplugs with speakers built in, but I don't tolerate them as well as I used to for a variety of exciting health related reasons that probably have nothing to do with them. They're really good at blocking out the world.

@glyph the koss sparkplugs were my previous pick for "best headphones I've ever owned", but now they're more of an honorable mention

@aeva I *vaguely* remember seeing a review of these a long time ago, which had a sort of shocked "labs" segment where they couldn't believe how good it was (particularly at the price) but I wasn't in the market at the time

@luca grazie, è stato molto bello, in due tempi ( + il rientro), il primo dedicato al nuovo album Amuri Luci, ed il secondo con pezzi classici, tra cui alcuni talmente classici che li conoscevo anche io ed un paio che non conoscevo, molto belli, tra cui AAA Cercasi, spettacolare.

C64 folks, is it reasonable to think in terms of "sets of eight sprites?" I know you can have more or less, and I know one might more be thinking of sets of three or four for animations...but, for some reason, I think this layout kind of makes sense to me.
I'm thinking animation will be visualized by selecting two or more sprites from the eight shown, and then I'll bring back the preview box as an animation preview.
