minus-squareSynopsisTantilize@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1arrow-down1·13 days agoI’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.
minus-squarevonbaronhans@midwest.sociallinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·edit-213 days agoSo 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. Am I just missing something? Edit: oh, I missed the wireless earphone on one side thing. Is that for your phone or for the game?
