Just got the original Sound Blaster Katana (not V2) as a gift and it's very impressive, compared to my previous 2.0 Logitech Z207 BT.
I mean, no shit, Sherlock, $40 10W speakers made of paper were worse than the $299 75W premium gaming sound bar.
So, it can run via 3.5 jack, Optical Input, Bluetooth or USB (in such case it will be limited to 24-bit sound and run via own sound card). It has RGB, several modes, software with a lot of tuning, microphones support, and so on.
The mids are very clear, the bass is kicking (especially thanks to the big subwoofer), but not interrupting. Modes (games, movies, night, etc) can be switched even without the software by the special button, but I prefer the default one, it's well-balanced.

Folks, what games have the best sound on PC? Not music, I mean, the technical implementation of the sound in a modern game?

Affinity, that went down from stores a few weeks ago, resurfaced as a freemium app.
The company, purchased by Canva AI last year, was the biggest competitor of Adobe in 2D graphics editing. And the main advantage was one-time payment.
But now the payment is gone and Affinity is “free, forever”. And also now vector and pixel tools are merged into one universal app, which is very impressive.

Midnight Snack horror animation by David Romero
A homeless man seeks shelter in an abandoned building, unaware of the horror that waits for him.
My senior animation piece for UArts. Watch it at night, preferably with some good headphones.

A nice fella died this morning.
Take care of your health, folks!
That's fucked up, he was just 35.

The Outer Worlds 2 is the least popular release of Obsidian on Steam. The reviews are kinda good, but not good enough.
And don't get me wrong, but I didn't know it has been released already. Did you?
Just watched the review and apparently, unlike it was in the original game, you can't… harm civilians! Which was a unique thing of the first game. They are now absolutely static instead.
