Sorry about that.
If it’s any consolation, I too believe that Q is far beyond ANYONE in their mom’s basement. A team of quite remarkable autists with experience might pull it off. Nothing less remains possible. I’ve never believed it was a 14 year old mama’s basement level game.
Now, if I get that mouse for my pocket, do I need to buy his microphone as well?
Depends on if you get a circus mouse or an opera mouse. The opera mouse option requires a microphone unless your pocket has excellent acoustics, in which case no.
There is much diversity in the mouse community.
