I cannot fathom this mindset. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] deltapi@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago I'd rather do a signal VoIP call than discord permalink fedilink source parent [–] SynopsisTantilize@lemm.ee 0 points 2 years ago (1 child) I'd rather do a phone call on speakerphone while playing games...yes. I don't wear headphones unless they're wireless and I only put in one ear. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] vonbaronhans@midwest.social 5 points 2 years ago* (1 child) So like... do you play the game with no sound? Does your gaming partner hear everything coming through your speakers into your phone's microphone? I'm just struggling to understand how that could be a good experience for anyone, including you.

Is that for your phone or for the game? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] SynopsisTantilize@lemm.ee 1 point 2 years ago (1 child) Headphone would be for the phone.

Can't say that would ever work for my circumstances, but I at least get where you're coming from a bit better. Thanks! permalink fedilink source parent
