Can the Secretlab Titan EVO 2022 Series VALORANT Edition chair fix a person who refuses to sit normally?
Let me preface this review by saying that, first and foremost, I am not the most clued-up when it comes to what makes a gaming chair great. Sure, I know enough about chairs to discern good from bad, but I’d likely look like a deer in headlights if you’d of asked me a week ago about the differences between some of the most popular chairs out there. After all, I am one of those people who sits in the worst ways imaginable, and I don’t think any chair out there can fix me (or my back).
That said, I can safely say that the difference between Secretlab’s Titan EVO 2022 Series and my prior chair, a mid-range piece of kit from Luckracer (I was sold on the footrest) is unmistakable.
I’ll start by mentioning what actually sets the 2022 Series apart from previous products in the company’s range. The Titan EVO 2022 Series blends together the best components of Secretlab’s Titan and Omega chairs, resulting in something that feels like the best of both worlds. There’s no doubt in your mind when you’re taking the chair out of the box that you’ve got something of high-quality, with the smell of Premium Neo Hybrid Leatherette material permeating your nostrils.

Despite all odds, Mars robot refuses to die
InSight is still chugging along, defying its own death date with admirable determination.
The landmark Mars robot was expected to power down sometime in the late summer, as amassing dust had begun to obscure its solar panels and prevent it from fully charging up. At that time, NASA emphasized that its mission, which began in 2018, was a large success. During the past few years, InSight has reported daily weather reports, recorded more than 1,300 extraterrestrial temblors, detected Mars’ large liquid core, and helped researchers map the planet’s inner geology. But it isn’t done yet!
Though scientists want InSight to keep recording quakes for as long as possible, the robot’s latest challenge is a rather large dust storm. The storm was first detected in late September about 2,175 miles away from InSight, making little impact on the robot. But in the weeks since, the storm has grown larger and increased the dust in Mars’ atmosphere around InSight by 40 percent, making it even harder for its solar panels to collect enough sunlight. According to NASA, InSight’s energy has fallen “from 425 watt-hours per Martian day, or sol, to just 275 watt-hours per sol.”
To conserve its precious energy, scientists have decided to turn off InSight’s seismometer for two weeks as it waits out this dust storm. During this time period, the robot will not be able to continue recording marsquakes, but its operators are hoping the move will extend its energy sources longer than just the next few weeks.
If you’re worried about InSight blowing away in the wind of the dust storm, don’t be too concerned. NASA says though winds can get up to 60 miles per hour, Martian air is so thin that these storms only have a fraction of the strength that Earth’s storms do. So while the little robot won’t be blown away, it will have to deal with some messy, dusty air as it tries to reach some sunlight.
Keep going little guy! We’re all rooting for you!
