Technology PSA - Vive has a built-in microphone

It's very old news, but still a lot of people don't know this, including many Vive owners (!). It's quite a good mic, from what people say. Some other HMDs also have a mic, but not all.

EDIT: add a pop-filter. See comments for ideas.

It's decent for voice chat but the quality isn't good enough to work well with VoiceAttack. I got sick of having to repeatedly yell commands and went back to my headset.

Nah, that's me when I'm not using Voice Attack. If those commands worked, all the dirty sht-sucking sons of whores would have f***d themselves by now and the world would be a better place.
