Hi, I ported DOOM to the Pinebuds Pro earbuds. It's accessible over the internet, so you can join the queue and play DOOM on my earbuds from your PC! More info as well as links to the github repos can be found on the site.

How are the PineBuds Pro, anyone have them? The Pine64 IRC network doesn't have a channel for PineBuds discussion so I haven't had an easy opportunity to ask.

To be honest, I've never actually used them for their intended purpose. No idea what the comfort or audio quality is like. There's a Pinebuds channel on the Pine64 discord, you can ask questions there :)

Was using them just this morning. I've been using them since they are out. Great device but battery is quite limited, ~2hrs top with ANC on.

At first I thought you found a way to control/view the game acoustically and I was very curious how that worked.

But, this probably makes more sense.

I'm also curious. I used to be a big supporter of Pine64 but the e-ink tablet and phone debacles have kinda soured me on them.
