Probably not. Most of the 7.1 headphones use a USB sound card to emulate surround sound. Doesn’t actually have the extra drivers to create true surround. Ultima 5.1 and 7.1 are definitely premium, niche products and only for the most dedicated.

LOL, PM me again. I’ll get to it today. I’ve had about 30-40 PMs a day, probably missed it.

Will Ultima 5.1/7.1 come with a higher price?
Done

Ah that are fantastic news!
Thank you
Just you wait for… Ultima²

Actually surprised nobody made that joke yet.
The “true” surround headphones never caught on. Apart from the price, it was determined that the drivers were too close together to have any use anyway. I suppose a really good sound processor could merge the tracks in either stereo or virtual surround without causing any damage to the subliminal, and you would have a similar effect of 7 voices coming at you at the same time. Or it might give you multiple personality disorder. 
Can you imagine creating a subliminal for movie theaters? 22 speaker surround sound. Listen to it for one hour, you’ll pass out and wake up a new person.
Just make sure it’s not on Repeat All.

I am actually contemplating on selling my whole furniture to afford superb 7.1 surround speakers… 
Well, you’d have good acoustics. 
Sells all furniture to buy 7.1 Surround Set, forgets to reserve money to buy an Ultima 7.1 track.

You just gave Subclub idea for the world’s 1st 5d cinema…
How are these design to work, considering that the Ultima line is for a quick boost? Why would Primal Seduction Ultima be a better option compared to Libertine Ultima since they are both seduction/romance titles? Ditto for Regeneration Ultima and Rebirth/The Elixir Ultima?
PS: Is Iron Throne ever going to be available in the Q store?

Sometimes I find that it’s hard to find the line between funny, ironic and sarcasm. Being a trickster archetype I often point out people’s flaws in a teasing way to make them aware of those flaws. I thought you mellowed out a bit today.
I was actually going to suggest we create a JCast Comic Insult Challenge Sparring Thread for anybody that thinks they can take the blows as well as deal them. That’s one of the reasons I only intervene in people’s journals when things get flagged or people take them completely off topic. If people don’t like the tone of a journal, nobody is forcing them to be there.
As you’ve noticed, I myself don’t have a problem with it, I’ll throw it right back at ya if I can or ignore it altogether otherwise. But I have to consider not everybody gets the nuance, especially those whose first language is not English.
Well, thank you for moderating yourself, I know it’s not easy and it doesn’t always feel comfortable. Just remember that even though you choose to do so, it in no way means you’re giving up your power. Quite the opposite in fact. You’re expressing a rare control over it.
Well, Saint did say he got that huge sound studio. Maybe he’s planning on building a private invite-only subliminal theater.
I know, you don’t like it when I respond instead. But since it’s a prototype while the Ultima Boosters are already a finished product, my best guess it it takes lessons learned from the current Ultima to create a different kind of Ultima that IS suited for major programs.
Why thank you, I try. After I had posted that one, I figured it would be great as a meme.
You should run some Limit Destroyer. Presidents nowadays can easily do both.

Not at all, as long as my questions are answered. It could be you, Saint, Fire or Water.
I used to have the similar tendency…but later I realized in China…people dont appreciate this type of personality…it polarizes me…and people ‘s reaction to me…out of curiosity…how did you find out you“trickster archetype”side…did you do any test？or book.？…if I remember correctly…it comes from the jungian archetype theory？
@DarkPhilosopher I feel honored. Part of the beauty of running Beyond Limitless Ultima is the quips come way faster. The downside to that is what you stated about moderating myself and deciding if it’s really worth it or better left unsaid. Or posted in this case.
I am going to make myself a bit vulnerable here. Right now I am experiencing heavy reconciliation in the form of extreme agitation and boredom. That’s why I am taking the advice of @SaintSovereign and taking every other day off from Beyond Limitless Ultima.
I didn’t, not really. I was always annoyed at how people didn’t seem to notice their own opportunities for growth, so me being generally radically honest in telling people what they didn’t want to hear but should in order to grow, I started doing it in a teasing manner.
It can sting sometimes, because often you don’t want to have your nose rubbed in your own mistakes and flaws (and yes, sometimes - tactfully - stupidity). And yet you must in order to learn from it and evolve. Which is also why I don’t mind, even often appreciate, when people do it to me.
It wasn’t until I was doing that on these forums for a while that Saint told me in private that he believed me to be the trickster archetype. He told me to be careful since he got it but not everybody would (sound familiar?) and I did some more research on it. I found the mythology aligned more with me than the Jungian archetype.
From Wikipedia:
In mythology and the study of folklore and religion, a trickster is a character in a story (god, goddess, spirit, human, or anthropomorphisation) which exhibits a great degree of intellect or secret knowledge and uses it to play tricks or otherwise disobey normal rules and conventional behavior. Lewis Hyde describes the trickster as a “boundary-crosser”. The trickster crosses and often breaks both physical and societal rules. Tricksters “violate principles of social and natural order, playfully disrupting normal life and then re-establishing it on a new basis.”
Although no people in power like them, cultures like China are very expansive and relatively set in their ways and as such have an even stronger dislike for them. They have them, and like all cultures they need them at certain points in their development, but they don’t like them. It disrupts the status quo and the balance of power.
I also came across this Ted Talk that explains it quite well (I queued it up at the 13-minute mark for convenience). Listening to that today really makes me realize why I feel so at home with the SubClub ideals.
Obviously, I’ve been meaning to read that Lewis Hyde book.
Anyway, enough about all that.
By the way, I have done it to you as well, calling you the “Master of Punctuation” in the past and twice today I was considering making a comment about how you would have to throw away the entire keyboard once the “.”-key broke. But I moderated myself (until now). Truth is, I’m actually really curious why you write like that, with the “…” between sentences. So consider this a question.
@James
Saint has that influence on people. I remember somebody almost a year ago that started getting mad at everybody and telling Saint the products didn’t work and he wanted his money back. And Saint told him to calm down and take a breath, he was experiencing reconciliation. And the guy went “hmmm, you may be right” and changed overnight.
I know that feeling of agitation and boredom, it makes you jump on everything because you have all that energy bursting at the seams wanting to be expressed. Good luck and keep us updated when you can.
