which is nice

#

do I care bout anythin else? no, not really

civic quarry
#

I am probably as basic of a phone user as you can get....texts/quick web searches/scrolling social media feeds.

#

My friend was a "little" angry when he saw my CPU-Z

tall vapor
#

I used to be interested in where phone SoCs would go in like, uh 2011

civic quarry
#

He was like "How is that budget phone beating my Google Pixel?"

#

Bro

tall vapor
#

nowadays? nah

civic quarry
#

It only phone

civic quarry
#

the concept of "beating" here is one I don't agree with to begin with

#

beating = I look at the number and it is bigger?

tall vapor
#

I do consider it to be interesting how cpuz displays mediatek chips tho

#

the phone itsjusttee got has a dimensity 1080

#

but it's displayed by the actual model

#

which is the mt6877V/TTZA

#

and no mediatek logo either, no just "hey, it's ARM!"

civic quarry
#

He has a Pixel containing a Tensor G2

#

No idea

tall vapor
tall vapor
#

not that I care bout that

#

cause both are sufficiently performant for phone use

#

but ye, it's quite a wide margin between the two

#

😅

tawdry orbit
#

Raw cpu performance is pretty low on my important factors for a phone

tall vapor
#

aye

#

I've seen phones with much much much stronger SoCs, more RAM and all than what me p7a got

#

which run like dogshit

tawdry orbit
#

More powerful chip plus smaller battery is always a funny combo to me

tall vapor
#

idc abt a couple more fps in some mobile shooter that I don't play anyway, I much prefer for there not to be lag when switching between apps&general usage

#

"oh we got hardware that strong, we don't need to care abt actually targeting the platform.... just slap android on there and done"

#

no

#

that's not how this works

#

it technically does, sure

#

but it's noticable when manufacturers do that

#

especially when it's not the newest sd 8g2 or whatever they're called

tall vapor
#

yes yes, Cookie is opinionated

tall vapor
#

And I appear to be getting old. Just had to change the scale factor on me 1440p 24" monitor to x1.25, the eyestrain just isn't worth it no more

civic quarry
#

i tried nvidia DLDSR 1440p on 24inch 1080p 165hz monitor . working great ^_^ .

tall vapor
#

barely higher than 1080p now 💀

civic quarry
#

still better than 1080p right? :/
Nvidia doesnt provide 4k resolution DLDSR
3k is maximum which is odd resolution so i sticked to 2k resolution.

tall vapor
#

but still

tall vapor
civic quarry
#

I have used DLDSR 2560x1440 for 2 days only . Icons and everything became smaller. I think native 1440p or 4k monitor will be more good

tall vapor
#

they'd be the same size at native 1440p still, but they wouldn't look like crap

#

😅

#

there's a reason as for why ya use that dldsr thingie for games only usually and not for desktop

#

And I just tried x1.25 on me x220. That's 1092x614 viewport...

#

and at that point modern applications just break

#

completely

#

3440x1440 >>>>> 2560x1440

#

Fight me

civic quarry
#

you already know my opinion

karmic tiger
prisma dove
#

love a 3440x1440

tall vapor
amber sparrow
#

Or whatever your spanned aspect is?

tall vapor
#

either way, me next monitor is going to be 1440p once more

amber sparrow
#

I haz 5120x1440. It's no bueno for first person shooters 😦

#

It's kinda nauseating

tall vapor
#

but I wonder whether 27" would be enough (in terms of size that would give ya assuming a 16:9 aspect ratio)

amber sparrow
#

27" 2560x1440 I found personally to be quite perfect

civic quarry
#

have been finding myself wanting a 4K monitor at 32" lately

tall vapor
#

that'd be me perfect monitor

amber sparrow
#

It's not 😦

civic quarry
#

anyone drop tech discord server link channel please

#

The curvature really does seem to kinda mess with perspective and viewing angle on this one

karmic tiger

wise bayBOT
amber sparrow
#

I'd probably trade it for a 34" 3440x1440 if someone were to offer

tall vapor
#

I want a flat 5120x1440 that can be divided as proposed above and where the central section would be in the neighbourhood of 32"

#

now

#

5120x1600 would be even better

#

but that's literal unobtainium

amber sparrow
#

I don't think there are any that give you true 3 seperate inputs simultaneously. And I don't know how windows handles things, but fancy zones on windows can't really break it up cleanly because of task bar, and not all games like to be moved into specific zones cleanly

amber sparrow
tall vapor
#

sure, 2x 2560x1440 is nice too

#

but like

#

gimme a central 2560x1440 and then a 1280x1440 each for peripheral

civic quarry
#

the way things are set up now they already function as 1 PC basically

amber sparrow
#

I thought you enjoyed the simplicity of 1 pc setup these days

#

Weren't you dual pc for the longest before that?

civic quarry
#

heh I am sitting here with both PCs on in front of me right now

amber sparrow
#

I coulda sworn you went back to a primarily 1 pc setup

civic quarry
#

for a bit when I moved, but I set it back up. took the time and now there is no complication, just turn both on and they work as one.

amber sparrow
#

Hell yea

civic quarry
#

Synergy is awesome software

tall vapor
#

But yes. Me having to set me 2560x1440 to x1.25 kills the validity of upgrading to a 27" 2560x1440 x1.00

#

rip me

civic quarry
#

tbh if you use software like Synergy to handle the keyboard/mouse/monitor positioning and then set up some shared drives over the network, you can use two PCs the exact same way you'd use 1 only it is quite nice.

tall vapor
#

I like that me laptop that I got sittin to the side of me usually got it's own inputs, tbf

Hey guys, if anyone of you uses Davinci Resolve, can you tell me if you also get stuck during rendering at times ? If suddenly your render doesn't make any more progress and the timer keeps going up ? Should I just leave it and hope it will resume ?

karmic tiger
#

cause yeah it can happen if there's a couple of frames where it's really struggling, or it might be that the encoder crashed (I'd expect it to error out in most cases for the second, but it could just get stuck sometimes)

real gazelle
#

Mmmmmmh soooo there's a chance it could just resume then ?

#

Since there's no error popping up.

full fern
real gazelle
#

Free. I'm on the fence if I should become homeless for the Studio one.

#

It's encouraging yours tends to finish. Now I'm hopeful.

karmic tiger
#

how long has it been frozen?

karmic tiger
real gazelle
#

Well now it's not frozen. But before it seemed to be frozen for a while.

real gazelle
karmic tiger
#

yeeeeee ^^

#

I'd say it mostly depends on the complexity of the stuff, cause for smth with like transparency, or a lot of video layers, or complex effects, it's not abnormal it'd take a bit to render and encode, and it can appear frozen if it goes slower than the reporting thing granularity

#

but like if it's spending hours frozen, shit's probs fucked

real gazelle
#

M'kay. So I have to be patient this time and see. 🤷

at least not on a 24"

next time round it's gonna be 2560x1440 @ >=31.5" (or equivalent), that way I can use x1.00 scaling again

It's a matter of distance, too, I'm approximately 90cm away from my 27" 1080p and 31.5" 1440p, 9pt Tahoma is legible with no anti-aliasing.

Buen día.
¿Cómo están todos? Espero que bien.

Tengo un inconveniente, lo que pasa es que a la hora de querer hacer una transmisión en Twitch, la señal es inestable y se pierden fotogramas, pero si hago el testeo en Facebook, no pasa y se mantiene bien. ¿Alguien sabe qué puedo hacer o cómo solucionarlo? Dudo que sea mi internet, porque debería fallar en Facebook y no lo hace.

Good morning.
How are you all? I hope you're okay.

I have a problem, what happens is that when I want to make a broadcast on Twitch, the signal is unstable and frames are lost, but if I test it on Facebook, it doesn't happen and it stays fine. Does anyone know what I can do or how to fix it? I doubt it's my internet, because it should fail on Facebook and it doesn't.

I find distances below 90cm noticeably more straining, especially watching anime on a 24" 16" laptop when power is out.

(never claimed that me eyes were good)

24inch display laptop? blobsweats

tall vapor
wary holly
#

I suppose I won the genetic lottery in that regard, my vision was better-than-100% at ages 6~16 and only recently degraded to "normal" levels, never needed glasses.

tall vapor
#

ye, ya did

tall vapor
civic quarry
#

55 or 65inch TV sitting far away on sofa with a controller on good lighting condition is much safer for eyes than sitting infront of 24,27,32inch monitors? thonk

wary holly
#

I can't speak for everyone, but for myself, yes, larger displays at longer distances are less straining than smaller displays at shorter distances.

tall vapor
#

all depends on nearsightedness/farsightedness etc etc etc

#

ideally monitor shall be at your natural optimal focal distance

wary holly
#

But a 55" 120Hz TV would be stupidly heavy and I have nowhere to fit it, so my smallest displays are 27" and my largest is 31.5".

civic quarry
#

but large screens are bad for desktop browsing experience.
good for watching videos or plsying games

tall vapor
#

all depends on distance

#

cause what that really is abt is how much of ver FOV it covers

civic quarry
#

I would put 55 or 65inch tv to walls mostly

tall vapor
#

for desktop use you want for your entire monitor to be in yer macular, ideally

#

near peripheral still does the job mostly

#

but ya get the point

civic quarry
#

small display hurting my eyes .
I love using 120hz 55/65inch tv for gaming

tall vapor
wary holly
#

I want a large high refresh rate display but there's nowhere to reasonably fit one, and most of them are 4K, which I'd rather not get used to. I probably already won't be able to go back to 1080p after almost 2 years of 1440p.

civic quarry
#

I cant go back to anything after watching modern signature LG OLED TV 🫠

tall vapor
wary holly
#

I'm still skeptical of OLED because of burn-in, it's very common for me to play the same thing for months at a time, I'd rather not see any persistent HUD elements stay on the screen forever.

tall vapor
#

real

civic quarry
#

then Micro LED?

tall vapor
#

and it faces the same issues, just at a slower rate

civic quarry
#

samsung QLED then?

tall vapor
#

as soon as ya got separate lighting zones/self lit displays uneven wear becomes a concern

#

that's just how it be

#

so really what we be waitin for are self lit displays (normal oled be actually self lit, for example) that wear so slowly that it wouldn't become a concern before somethin else ends up dying anyway

#

the closest we got in that regard is IPS with oled as backlight, really
not actually self lit, but in terms of "lasts long"
those just be chonky ass LEDs (comparatively speaking, ya only need a monochrome matrix at that point and actually only one LED per pixel instead of having to worry abt subpixels too)

#

and ya can still adjust brightness per pixel with those

#

therefore what I am really interested in would be nanoled (if they end up calling it that, basically microled but small enough to use one per pixel instead of having zones) backlights and then combine that with a very good IPS

#

actually fully self lit displays that just last so long that the driver board ends up dying way before the panel starts to show wear just are eons out still, by a long shot, and those are very likely not gonna be OLEDs due to intrinsic issues with those based on them being, well, organic

#

the proposed hybrid setup would at least last for a longer time, but yes still not "driver board dies before panel starts to show wear"

#

unless ya artifically make the driver board only last like a year or two, of course :p

tall vapor
#

general improvements to oled lifetime that we've been gradually seeing more and more of combined with just using two of em stacked, yeah I really wanna see where that ends up going long term

#

wouldn't surprise me if layered starts to become the standard

#

it just makes sense, they just need to get cheap enough basically

tall vapor
#

provided yer still talkin abt the same total load, of course

#

but yes, enough yappin RWkek

Mega Corpo Game Studios strikes again

#

Concorn, the supposed Overwatch competitor/alternative decided to Block Access to Linux Operating Systems

#

This is why I prefer Indie titles like Deep Rock Galactic and Stardew Valley

Concorn, I hope it's a game about corn conquering the planet

#

It also doesn't say blocked, it's just not supported (and thus doesn't work)

It mentions that a PSN Overlay or Custom Windows DLL is at play here.

Or intentional Proton/Wine blocking, just like Bungie with Destiny 2

livid plover
#

because cheating preventing

#

is it even a direct block, or just because they don't allow hooking into it, which proton/wine likely does?

civic quarry
#

Basicly, you enable Steam Play, double click to open the game and get a "Proton, Steam Play, SteamDeck is not supported by this application" dialog box

Lgbt isn't a trend.

tall vapor
coarse wing
#

Its a movement for people to be able to express themselves without being discriminated against. Because in history they have been commonly discriminated against and treated unfairly.

open rune
coarse wing
#

Calling it a trend makes it sound like them being who they are is temporary. Im just saying, the word choice you have used to describe the LGBTQ movement sounds like you are against it.

timid plinth
coarse wing
#

LGBTQ is a peace movement meant for people with sexuality or gender preferences.

#

The entire point of it is to say it is okay to be who you are, and that it doesn't make someone less of a person if they are gay, lesbian, straight, trans, ect.

#

It's an equality movement, because in history, if you were gay, you would get killed for it like you were a disease.

hearty stirrup
#

and there are still parts of the US trying to go back to a time where killing/ruining the lives of LGBTQ people is legal

Either way. Wine/proton and such all make no effort to hide that they are indeed wine/proton/whatever, just like windows 10 makes no effort to hide that it's windows 10 and just like nvidia drivers make no effort to hide that they're nvidia drivers either. Have them reports sorted/automatically pretriaged accordingly and yer gonna have a much sweeter experience with triaging them all anyway. Like it would've been sweet atm to have "okay so why are there so many reports that are tagged intel 13th gen/intel 14th gen as of late"

correct, no EULA pop up, it's in the about menu, and doesn't seem to mention the crashlog stuff besides the usual data sharing stuff in there?

and upload is on by default

tall vapor

pop it ingame

have to go via About button -> EULA button to get them

and they don't tell you in the "by using this software you agree to the terms" where the terms are actually to be found?

I know I know, that's all to common.... but it really shouldn't be like this

livid plover

u no agree to terms when launching the game, the game doesn't make you agree to terms, nothing does

the login creation on their site probably does, when you buy the game via that

ya never agree to any of factorio's terms

as hackintosh user, I can tell you that it's not for the faint of heart

#

you also might not be able to get it running 100% correctly unless you've specifically made sure you've bought compatible hardware (or even get it running at all)

#

and you can only get support from hackintosh forums/discords/etc because none of it is general computing knowledge, it's all hyper specific and a matter of knowing exactly what drivers/settings/fixes/etc to apply

OpenSUSE Tumbleweed on an older Macbook 👀

that older macbook is a normal computer just with it's own quirks, basically

be it a trackpad that needs a driver or whatever, ya know. Just with any other laptop out there

that's like as if I blamed sony for there not being a ps4 emu that runs bloodborne yet (but I do blame them for not talking to fromsoft yet about makin a pc port, sure)

Good thing that the marketing material that qualcomm published for those things is borderline false marketing RWkek

not as performant as claimed, not as supported as claimed, not as power efficient as claimed etc etc etc. And microsoft also talked about how all your stuffs is just gonna work just fine.... no, it doesn't

he was basically able to do everything that haiku can do in the state it's in, hardware independent state that is

#

Apologies for the Ping @still turret but you did mention to me about Capturing the VR Game by its Viewport or either through one Lens. There is another content creator who plays VR games and this is how he is capturing it

#

This one looks to be capturing Both Lenses......somehow

livid plover
#

why does that seem like both lenses to you?

civic quarry
#

Well, the Viewmodel of the Gun is more centered and the FOV is more wider

livid plover
#

likely the viewport

civic quarry
#

Hmmm

#

How would you describe whats done in that screenshot? Thats the type of capture I am aiming for

livid plover

explain? it's a wrong aspect ratio capture with a basic chat overlay. either viewport or main eye output, judging by the centering of the crosshairs

Anyone know if it's possible to use OBS to push a Stream to Runble Studio, and let Rumble Studio do the multi-streaming?

depends on what rumble studio can ingest

obs -> obs virtual cam -> rumble

audio you just grab directly as you want in rumble, or route it via voicemeter or similar

I was local recording using obs studio and uploaded.
I can try livestreaming too but local recording is my preference

cinder quartz

If you give 8K footage, but the viewers settings aren't set properly, it will fallback to vp9. The viewer has to set YouTube to ALWAYS Prefer AV1 Codec

For now you would want to upload 1440p+ footage, whether that's via scaling with OBS or scaling during the encode or using DSR or whatever

I legit already did ALLLLL the the testing for this exact problem a couple years ago. You can choose to take or leave my advice. But at the end of the day: YouTube makes those decisions.

civic quarry
cinder quartz
#

Even if you record in native AV1, YouTube is going to Transcode it, and put it in whatever they want it in anyway.

#

I've even uploaded the same video upwards of 8x and sometimes I get avc1, sometimes I get vp9, and sometimes it gives av1. It's a flip of the coin.

civic quarry
#

Whats the lowest possible bitrate HEVC will let me go?

#

I would like to give it a test run

civic quarry
cinder quartz
#

If you want to skip all that headache, record in 720 or 1080, upscale to 4K and upload the upscales. It won't look bad.

cinder quartz
civic quarry
#

even if i record in 720p i should be recording file at higher bitrate or else video wont look at good when i upscale it but the problem is i am using cqp now a days instead of cbr

cinder quartz
#

av1 Codec uses a lot more horsepower on YouTube's end, VP9 uses less than AV1 but more than AVC1, and AVC1 is what they wish they could give you

cinder quartz
#

CQP Level 14

civic quarry
#

they are giving for few youtube subscribers who has millions of subscribers ( not to everyone yet though )

atleast Vp09 for people who got thousands of subscribers.

I feel like i wish youtube could give me too if i buy youtube premium.

I do not understamd the new youtube HD premium quality option feels pointless

  1. Install VB-Audio CABLE. (A reboot is not required)
  2. In OBS Studio, go to Settings > Audio and select "CABLE Input" as your Monitoring Device
  3. Go to Edit > Advanced Audio Properties and enable Audio Monitoring for the audio sources you'd like to stream to Discord.
  4. In Discord, in Voice & Video settings, select "CABLE Output" instead of your microphone under "Input device".

Now anything you monitor in OBS Studio will be streamed to Discord. Similar steps will work with other conferencing apps, such as Microsoft Teams or Slack.

Is it possible to run 2 instances of OBS to acieve this?
Virtual Audio cable gave me weird audio delay when I tried it last

open rune

No, since OBS doesn't install any audio devices for you to use

Running two instances of OBS just to feed something into a third process sounds more convoluted than it's worth

You could use a program like VoiceMeeter but that is more complicated

I watched an Adam Savage video that was quite interesting, where he spoke of a minor confict on Myth Busters between Jamie and his approach to solving a given problem with a relatively minor detail, and how it drove him nuts. But then he realized that he did not need to solve that problem, that he could let them go with Jamie's solution and it would work itself out one way or another over time. It turned out that he was right about the problem and Jamie was in fact wrong, and it caused inconvenience, but they did manage to get through the problem in the end.

#

It made me think about how many of us can become attached to solutions to problems like this, where another person or people are involved, but where the consequences of someone doing something the wrong way are not going to be devastating or problematic for us at all, or might only cause a minor inconvenience if anything, and that it probably wont cause them any major problem either, but if it does, it is their problem not ours.

#

It made me think also of how in our efforts to help people both in real life and online we can get stuck in this mindset of trying to force people to accept the potential wisdom we are giving and not shoot themselves in the foot, sometimes so strongly that we create a conflict where it didn't need to happen, and instead we should have just given advice and stood back and let them learn for themselves. Experiential learning is a powerful thing. And in cases like this it can avoid unnecessary potential conflict over trying to force someone into not making a mistake for example.

#

Let them make their mistake.

#

Chances are, it wont be that bad anyway.

opaque halo
#

This is a method of leadership we used when I was in the Military. You provide guidance and instruction on how something is done. If you see mistakes coming (that as you pointed out aren't life threatening, catastrophic in nature, etc.) you allow the person to proceed on. This teaches a few lessons. Mistakes can (and will) happen, processes and procedures are there for a reason, ask for help, etc. When a problem is encountered then offer help in the form of "how can we fix / correct this" and not "see.. I told you so". There are many lessons to be learned from those doing the task as well as leadership.

@uneven spear I have an inquiry, and I would like to preface it with I would like a simple answer first, and then you can do your 90 paragraphs of "oh no someone asked me about the thing I like."

#

Does Stellaris have a robust enough multiplayer that it's possible to play properly co-operatively?

uneven spear
still turret
#

The latter, mostly.

#

The former would be neat, if possible.

#

I'm looking for good co-op experiences for like... city builder/management games and Stellaris being 4X is basically all of that rolled in to one package, but I've never really done the multiplayer for it.

#

We did rimworld and dyson sphere co-op mods, but the former was a bit buggy, and the latter has a bit too much waiting on production late game, heh

uneven spear
# still turret The former would be neat, if possible.

Former's possible, literally just check "Co-op" in a multiplayer lobby, then anyone can do the thing, owo.

Latter's more-fun IMO but that's coming from someone who likes handling truly excessive amounts of information in real-time.

I get the feeling that you're asking this before making a purchase decision, rather than trying to ask about a technical issue that actually did come up. Is this correct, owo?

still turret
#

Correct, mhm.

uneven spear
#

Okay, nifty. -w-. I also figure you already have an existing friend and you both basically want a city-builder or eco-manager.

Stellaris can be played as an eco game to a degree, but it'll get stale without occasional combat. It does have PvE content, a lot of PvE content, frankly, but do expect some combat or the PvE-ness simply lacks mechanical purpose.

It's definitely not a city-builder, you are not going to be on a per-planet basis, carefully balancing delicate resources. In fact, if you try, you will absolutely ruin yourself economically. (Ask Sapiens how he knows. klurk5 Guy barely had two planets while everyone else had like 20 because he refused to colonize any others until everything was super-perfect.)

If this sounds agreeable, then I do suggest poking Stellaris, but wait for it to go on sale; they run one basically every four months and sell the base game for under $20. They do this with literally every DLC release. (Treat those as if they're additional D&D campaigns, because that's basically what they are.)

You don't need to buy any DLC technically, but I do heavily suggest at least Utopia, for everyone, because without it there is almost literally no end-game content and you're basically playing a tech demo rather than a game at that point. I can make individual suggestions for the rest.

If you only plan to run one or two games and you're absolutely sure that scheduling will work, it can be worth it to buy the DLC subscription that just gives you literally all the DLC for $10/month and call it good after your 1-2 sessions, owo. That said, dear goodness, that skyrockets the complexity of the game; start with just the base game and Utopia or your head'll explode. <w<'

Is that proper co-op?

You might have to coordinate a little bit about who is doing the building where and who is managing the resource chain but it's a lot of fun

Is there any special reason why same-empire-co-op is appealing, owo?

open rune
#

It's cool to share/split responsibilities for running things since there's a lot going on later

#

There's a city building/layout side and a resource management/trading/commerce side

Mostly just the kinds of games we like to play.

So while I'm figuring out the most efficient way to lay out some corn fields you can be adjusting the trade routes to ensure the corn factory on a different island is supplied and the excess is stored/sold as needed or whatever

#

Also watching tiny people and animals go about their business in tiny detail is great

uneven spear
#

Sorry, I meant in regards to this specific situation, owo. The main reason that I ask is that Stellaris has a half-bazillion different stories that can unfold, and one of my favorite parts is after a game's done, everyone in my group gets together and tells what their empire was doing and why. With same-empire co-op, there'd be at least one less story, owo.

#

We'd just be playing with us

#

Ideally, the perfect game would be Minecraft's Minecolonies mod except not jank and broken and a real game :p

uneven spear
#

Okay, owo. I'm unfamiliar with anything related to minecraft, FWIW. klurk5 While it's on my mind, if you're into city-building, I'll shill so hard for Frostpunk (the original only), and for Ixion. klurk5 klurk5 -- Anyway, is answered to satisfaction, owo? Does has any more questions?

Ye, thank you for the insight

I'm also only really looking for co-op stuff at the moment.

Nifty, is welcome, thank for asking too! OwO!

I played quite recently, it's definitely better, but still rather jank, and kinda falls apart when you get to a certain colony size.

Yup, experienced the same. Hoping it continues to be dejanked, as it has promise.

And dark mode has a one-click "report a dark mode problem" that does not require any explanation or input also, awesome

arguably the flying spaghetti monster is a god and therefore OMG covers it

Technically it should be... AMFSM

not sure where the best place to put feedback would be

but i just wanted to pop in and thank whoever fixed the problem i had since v 28

at some point there was an update that prevented me from dragging the preview away from the edge when zoomed in while trying to make things pixel perfect

anyways whoever reverted that change, i wanted to thank you a lot cause that was omega bugging me

I don't think there is any religious justification for why you had to express hate towards those who identify as lgbtq in your bio so I am going to ban you.

I am a victim of a mass email CC.

Ordered a couple limited full size mousepads and because of overwhelming demand the ship date got pushed back.

Just got the email that stuff should be going out in the next week or so hopefully and they apparently CC'd all the orderers rather BCC >.<

I eat out a lot more these days cuz weirdly enough it's only slightly more expensive than buying groceries.

but I also don't eat a lot. so I'll go out like once in the day, then eat at home the rest mostly eating rice with something or a PBJ

Allow me to show you why having someone else's stream WITHOUT muting is entirely your fault

#

I am using youtube's removal tools

#

DO NOT have someone else's stream open WITHOUT muting it or you can end up like me

#

Oof, yeah. I avoid doing anything else at all on my PC when streaming for poor hardware reasons, but this is another good reason

civic quarry

Yes

jaunty fulcrum

why would you be recording & uploading something where you're already watching someone else's content? o.O

sweet anchor

Probably more react content on youtube than anything else lol.

I cannot wait for the fad to pass. Most of it is just outright stealing other people's videos to upload to your channel

sweet anchor

Oh for sure.

#

XQC "reacting" to a video, and 80% of the video it's just his empty chair.

Somehow, this is content.

I've done pretty good blocking all of the channels that do this the most on YT. Still see a good deal

Yuppi, the alpha version of my obs plugin manager built HYPERS

I did watch a friend's Twitch stream in the Background without it being muted

#

Easy mistake to make

civic quarry
#

I was even streaming on my Linux SSD so the Application Audio capture source does not exist on Linux

#

I could mess around with JACK but as I tried before, I can mess up my audio

#

isnt that what the pipewire audio plugin is for?

#

i don't use linux so I may be way off here

#

My distro, Debian KDE, does have Wayland and PipeWire as a session

#

However, Debian fucked up something with Portals causing OBS to not capture the screen

#

So I am on PulseAudio and X11

#

those are definitely some words

#

Yes

#

Oh

#

Ok, I see what you mean

#

yes that
