need more Genshin gamers in this channel, wheres the guy with the Gouba pfp
I keep meaning to start genshin
Genshin fully f2p was so much fun for even a month after I hit daily content only, but then I just kinda dropped off
Me too
@tacit wing what banner do i summon on
My wallet shall remain intact
Y'know tf2, my favorite game of all time that I've played for 6 years
Guess how much I've spent
beginner
if not beginner, zhongli banner bc hes gonna get buffed in 1.3
hes pretty doodoo now but he'll be broken later
and also character banners dont come back so you better get Zhong before hes gone
Anyone know why my Ping and in game lag has gotten really high all of a sudden. I’ve tried both Ethernet cords I have, and nothing changed
possible ur ISP or just the game servers
idk much about internet tho
you will probs get a reply here eventually but you can also ask in #old-monitors-and-tv
thanks
Thanks! I think ISP, idk much about what it is, but I’ve had somewhat high ping in other games too
Not as high, but I still had ping jumps in other games, to 100+ when I never did in the past
@signal marsh look up your ISP on Down Detector
to see if theyre having problems or maintenance
my ISP doesnt do any headsup when theyre doing maintenance and they just do whatever
@timber ridge yo what did u get
The used market for headphone amps is slim pickings
ok thanks
yea theres a dot right on columbus
where i live
yikes
its either outtage or maintenance either or
most ISP do maintenance like around after midnight when there least traffic
Guys opinions about what is the best wireless gaming headset
yea seems to be back on rn. it went off at 12:30
heyo I was wondering something so you know how the go xlr has sfx stuff yeah I want that but cheaper or some way to get sfx
oh yeah cbus doesnt really have great isp's from the people i know there
The best Wireless Gaming Headset, is not Wireless.
Because all wireless headsets are dumpster garbage.
There's a select few headsets that are "good enough"
Kingston HyperX Cloud 2's, and the PC37X/PC38X are both in the "Good 'nuff" category
agreed
and razer and stellseries
💩
well tbh the blacksharks from razer are good enough
the razer nari ultimate and steelseries arctic pro are bs
haptic feedback lmao jsut vibrating headset
this is my life rn
ugh fml

hmm i can't tell if order work yet or not, says arriving tmrw but it never shipped, does amazon say in orders page if payment decline?
ugh fml
hush
oh ya i saw that
i like the shape of them and the design, might fit nice in my ear. but i dont have 100 to spend on iems

ayo
starfields
@tacit wing whats the difference betwwen the porta pros x
and the porta pros
i know the x have a mic and is the newer one from drop
and waht do u think of this
@tacit wing that name keeps on tripping me up
Starfield = name of a game that is in development by Bethasda
ik 1more earphones were p good
youre tellin me
dunno much about the cans
they are a wee bit too big to only focus on one game @tacit wing
the next installion of The Elder Scrolls is big enough to put all efforts into
its like Grand Theft Auto
but curious about Starfield
not really
skyrim aint that interesting a game
Sales says otherwise
and i say that as a BIG fan of the TES system
Last i looked at the next TES game, they had doubled down on sticking with the same broken engine they used for skyrim
aka Gamebryo
and that alone is enough that i have close to zero hope for it being a interesting game
some of us, has had the "pleasure" of being around for all the broken engines
so it just isnt "fun" anymore
I do wish they'd just use unreal or something
remember in skyrim when the giants launched u
and beth fixed the bug
but fans liked it so much they patched it back in 
yes, i also remember the part where the person responsible for actual interesting world building is NOT with the company anymore

Oop
i feel like one Bethesdas biggest trademarks are their hilarious bugs and glitches
nDeed
it used to be that they were known for the worlds they built
have a look at the earlier TES games
ive never played morrowind, earliest ive played was oblivion
i would give a LOT of money for having morrowind released in a more stable engine
because its so delightfully "different" in the setting itself
if devs didnt have a set released date that they have to put crunch time into like we saw with Cyberpunk id reckon alot of instability will be smoothed out
isolated as the only "factor", it wont really change anything @tacit wing
theyre shooting themselves in the foot by publicly announcing a super ambitious release date, people get hyped, gets pushed back, people get pissed so theyre forced to launch a scuffed product
i guess older games back then didnt had that pressure
Yes, people (gamers specificall) suck for that reason
The amount of hate because a date gets pushed back is unreal
difference was there was not a easy place to whine about it.
dino you think i should wait for my 5v adapter or rma

it wasnt like that day 1?
you just woke up today and its static city?

sounds like you need an amp /s
or my motherboard is messed up
at first i was thinking interference but idk where the source would be
yea, im not sure what the issue is
if your mic starts failing and then now your dacamp something must be stinky in ur pc
its no coincidence they went kaput on roughly the same time
do u have any other pc in ur house
You know there's a group of devs making morrowind in skyrim's engine
yea
Motherboards are often stinky
this is a major bruh button
the fact that my keeb n stuff works perfect is what's throwing me off
need help with headphone amp using a 990 dt pro 600 ohm and need a decent amp for it
Whats your favourite keyboard switch for typing
JDS atom could do it, topping a50s would more than power it
It's all really personal preference
Generally people like linear for gaming, tactile for multi-purpose and work, and weird people like clicky
Well, I suggest you look around here for a moment first, keep in mind ~20$ shipping to the US.
https://www.keychron.com/
I'll explain what's good about keychron that hyperx doesn't do
you can get it off of amazon
I don't see keychron on amazon normally
But anyways
Most Keychron keyboards let you choose hotswappable switches
I dont need hotswappable
It's a very nice to have once you figure out what you like
if you aren't sure what switch you like/want, it can be a useful feature
Next, switches are pre-lubed
stabs are *
blue better that red and brown
ew clickys
switch type is preference, there is no better switch
Some brown are like blue
facts
id like to believe i converted people to keychron
@queen sigil yes you did

lol
Such a good keeb
my friend bought a keychron k2 or smthn i forgot which one
BUR BUE BUE FJELL LUBED HOLY PANDAS TAEHA TYPES
I have a K8 and I think keybored has a k2?
lol
lol taeha types
i customized it for someone
just painted and swapped the switches
I suggest you don't get blues
why hyperx
i suggest you dont get a hyperx keyboard
theres is no brown
dont get the "gaming" brands like hyperx, corsair, razer
no upgradability low quality parts high price
Does it have to be under 100cad?
yes
i think my friend got the c2 or smthn
make own keyboard
he's like I NEED NUMPAD
Keychron shipping will take it above 100cad I think tho
very budget
Since it's usd
does it matter if its like 5-10 more?
But keychron so nice
ask him for sound test
i want to see if it has libed and clipped stabs
design and order a bare pcb, solder all the components on it, buy the switches, design own software for keyboard
but its more for typing and not gaming
or just ask him of he knows how to check
because the c2 is like dummy cheap
@calm cobalt do you need full sized or TKL keyboard?
keyboard is keyboard, gaming = rgb
Basically, do you need numpad?
ill try
i dunno if he recived yet he ordered it
This is basically what I bought, price is in USD though.
https://www.keychron.com/products/keychron-k8-tenkeyless-wireless-mechanical-keyboard?variant=32018252267609
Keychron K8 Wireless Mechanical Keyboard. Tenkeyless Layout. Wireless or Wired. and users can hot swap every switch in seconds with the hot-swappable version. Compatible with Mac, Windows, iOS, Android, Linux. Keychron Optical or Gateron Switches. Connect up to 3 devices. 15+ RGB Backlight
the c2 with rgb hotswap is like 80$
i dont think he even got hotswap

All of the hotswap are 80usf
cheap cheap cheap
C2 is full tho
thats like $50 i think
yeah
Tkl is nice
65% better
id say c2 over RK keyboards if the c2 is in stock
what looking review
But I want my prtscrn button
75% and 1800/96%
best keyboard sizes for work
I don't think so
¯_(ツ)_/¯
I like tkl a lot
get one that is programmable. problem solved
all i want is small but with arrow keys
map whatever you want
problem not solved
literally all keyboards are programmable now lol
literally all are not
me 2
Ya software
plenty that have a fixed keymap
@granite furnace I like dedicated keys in a certain position :p
Like yes I know software can easily remap keys
get gaming keyboard with readressable keys
But I want the physical key there

:p
LOL
@daring zenith for example on the dz65 pcb there are 4 keys for nav cluster so i think u can have ur pg up/down and prt sc and like del or smthn
LIKE AS REPLACEMENTS
The thing is I use del, home, end, pgup, pgdn, and prtscrn
then I guess you're stuck with a certain form factor. I'd encourage trying a different layout/form factor. takes a few months to get used to it, but you might like it more
i saw a guy on ebay who was selling replacement keycaps for apple butterfly kbd for $2.50 each
Oh I just like tkl
oh hey its albert
And as long as I can keep using tkl, I'm going to use it
I like the versatility of tkl
albert
wonderboy
@tight pulsar rate my keeb
he helps with the drop server stuff
o im not in the drop server
it's with an "e", but yes, it is I
Nice keeb
SOUND TEST
I'm used to it. anytime I give a name for an order, no matter how much I enunciate, they assume it's albert
I can't do one well
I'll try my headset mic again
crappy sound test, can only give you a rough idea
Ooo I should record a sound test
nice
mmmm
nVidia includes software to get rid of the clicky stuff
it really works well
Ima use something else for recording then
ALL background noise was gone
what software...
audio
@daring zenith rtx voice just adds a virtual mic and speakers to your volume mixer
can use it on anything
but for recording audio ive used audacity in the past
rtx is miracle worker
@stoic solar yea I use rtx voice sometimes, I was just asking about recording software because the random one I used that saves to the .m4a format is weird
audacity is gr8
and tbh rtx voice alone makes it so ill never buy an amd card as long as i live
i usually take audio recordings in adobe audition or reaper, audacity is good free option
Honestly, RTX Voice and the other streaming stuff (Like AI Background Remove) will probably push me back to Streaming when I get either a 3060Ti or 3080.
The 3070 is a pointless card now that the 3060Ti exists.
you're joking
rtx voice gets rid of my keyboard sounds xD
that was the whole point I was gonna use it smh

Yes it does
rtx voice is a must
Lol
o dino, i tried plugging in my mic back to usb port it was in and unplug the dac
no issues so far
so the other day ur mic was tripping, now its ur dac amp
Usb issue
thats what im hinting towards
have you tried both products on another PC
Buy new usb
zen dac good now?
yea
dunno what ima do
might post the pc for sale and see if i get any good offers
Welcome to my world of issues
@tacit wing flac now
Still trying to find what wrong with my interface , moving it seem to minimize some issues
bruh how
need to make quieter
did u lube it?
nah
Jebus, a PC37X for 60 dollars?
me no lube
Snatch that up this instant.
Smh mr1 recordings in wav
its kinda far from me
will sound rly nice
stabs are pre clipped and lubed pretty sure
Just do it
swtiches not lubed
gat browns
lubing too advanced for me
^
lol its not very hard
If I could jam the lube down the stem gap I would.
But, opening switches is a PITA as-is
its not hard but not everyone has the time@ѕѕєηтι#4349
and know knowledge of what to get
u dont need anyhting besides a flat tip screwdriver, paintbrush, and lube
and alot of time
And a place to hold the switches.
@tacit wing yea ik
Because getting stabbed by those tiny contacts hurts.
bag, mug, random container
No, like hold them while you open them.
too much effort to what is essentially just ASMR
¯_(ツ)_/¯
Exactly.
When I get my K2 Hotswap and G-Pandas that's it for awhile for my keeb adventures.
I need brush, something to hold switch, and lube
and screwdriver
screwdriver for what
so u dont break your nails trying to open the switch
yea
or a switch opener
Thought you put it in tray and then it's easy to take it apart
Honestly, why do the stupid contacts have to be pointy?
Why can't it be Pins to Pads like other hotswap type stuff?
no its like a opener to open
i dunno how to say it
but they're two different things
I have a handful of SLA printed ones and they work wonderfully
the hotswap sockets were designed around the desire for hotswap functionality and were constrained by the existing switch design. the switches themselves were not designed to be hotswappable. the pins are designed for through-hole soldering.
I know. But why can't Cherry/Gateron/Whoever makes switches make a Hotswap variant of their switches and then we make new hotswap capable boards that just use a flat "pin" and a flat pad on the PCB.
too much money to develop id assume
maybe they are working on it. who knows? but I don't blame them if they don't think it's worthwhile at this point. hotswap functionality still represents a very small percentage of all the keyboards that are manufactured
I view hotswap functionality as more of a novelty and gimmick. the overwhelming majority of people are not changing out switches frequently. it's kind of nice to have to test out different switches, but once you know what you like, there's no point
I'd rather all boards go to a universal hotswap that way you just buy the shell you like, and then you buy the switches you like, and boom, you have your keyboard.
Yeah, I wish I could justify buying Sundaras
Yeah, I wish I could justify buying Sundaras
Yeah, I wish I could justify buying Sundaras
lol
welcome to episode 2 of cholax life
tiger parent used a cloth hanger and hit me
elbows bleeding
knees hurt
nah elbow littlebleding and skin cut open
call cps?
all because my brother said the water was hot even though it wasn i quickly said it wasn and parents yell and hit me for doing that
fml
now i need to research high schhol and need to binge watch some shsat prep
i have koss trinity but didnt open or try 2 of em yet
as much as i want iems rn, im waiting next year to get more audio stuff
am not spending until next year
@timber ridge i said really outdated
they think orta pros
are 80$
i really wanna go for porta pros
and yaxi pads
blon 05s and PP is actually budget endgame
lol
but both need mods to make them sound better
if u can make blon 05 or 0 better than starfields
they can be
depending on the listener
i personally prob wont pick up any moondrop iems bc of the competition
@last plinth lmfao is ur twitch acc follower botted
like every single one of ur followers are following like 2k people

swear
it might be idk
i dont even use twitch like that
i did get alot of followers at once
4 more days until the stax 001mk2 arrive
Although a part of me wishes I downgraded to the 002 just to be able to switch from open and closed back
Also had to get an ibasso dc04 cause I wanted to use then on the go
Any recommendations for a chair with a headrest, adjustable arm stance and a flat seat (no u or v shaped seat)
please listen to skip trace
once you get foam tips you cant go back
feel like there is better options at the price point
starfields are like the default neutral iems i feel like
its closest to harman target for the money
if youre looking for colored sound then its definitely not it
😳fire:
ye, if i was picking up iems in that price range i would take fh3s over it
and ill take oh10s over kxxs
no
@calm cobalt uhh
are fh3 neutral
Fifine t669
snowball or at2020
the snowball is terrible
Fifine t669 gang
🧢
well it's not terrible it's just that the fifine exist
^^^
elgato wave
snowball id happily take a razer seiren mini, hyperx solocast, or samson q2u over
the wave is just 20usd over
¯_(ツ)_/¯
other than that i am still convinced q2u best budget 
what do you think about hte g track pro
Kapp
i cant remember much about the g track but it is also around the 130usd range
cyberpunk viper is always out of stock
first impressions?
What did you just get?
Thieaudio Phantom planar magnetic
How much were they selling for on the drop?
they're actually pretty pleasant out the box, probably only gonna have to eq a bit
I don't know if they sell on drop actually, but brand new they are $350-$400
I got them for $200
covering them with hands does make them sound worse hehe
Oh, neat they are sold by Linsoul.
What's the sound profile like?
I mean I guess I don't have trained ears but to me they sounded neutral warm out the box
That's not bad.
which is surprising cuz everything I'd heard about planar magnetics had me worried a bit about bass
and they are very comfy yep yep
Oh, there's some mods you can do to them.
they are actually already modded
Apparently you can remove the inner foam to improve the sound
Ah, secondhand sale?
yeah good deal I think
I'm ngl I'm not like, absolutely blown away or anything
but they do sound better than what I had hahah not like that was a high bar
So, apparently the Mids are where the Phantoms reign supreme
are they ur first pair of open back ?
yessir
Jesus, you started with a pretty high bar
so far as I can tell this is all I'd do to eq
My first openbacks were HD 558's
whtas ur ops on openback
it doesn't effect the sound as much as I thought
it definitely has less bass pressure but the bass is still there
pressure is the fun part
im not getting my cans and iems til next year tho
no buying for me until i get my phone
I don’t love eq, I feel like everytime I attempt eq headphones I just end up getting them very flat
lol
is that what youre aiming for ?
I also already have the e10ks bass switch on btw
i only mess with eq on my phone
planars are known for their tighter trebble compared to dynamic right
what music is good for testing that.. electronic?
Welp, looks like if I want to get some HE-400i's I will want to grab a Balanced Output.
Treble maybe instrumental
The 2020 model is cheaper than it's 2015 counterpart
And basically the same headphone
The 2020 model is 169.99 normally before any deals.
Maybe I should invest in balanced so I stop getting interference from my phone 
i wish i had a pair of neutral open back cans to test
where do i send pics
for ?
Of what?
Here I guess.
did you jus join the server to flex ur peripherals
The only balanced connection I have is balanced speaker outs on my interface
i wanna see what u think
^
do i spam
is there a spamming channel
No
🤦
Spam does not work
Spam =/= Good
i dont really understand the unbalance vs balance thingy
You need to have messages that actually contribute to a conversation.
goodbye
lol
Not entirely...
a) power
b) power
Basically, there's 2 alternating signals that get sent down 2 cables (This is why headphones with 2 cables can have balanced output) and they are out of phase with eachother.
The "noise" that the signals individually have get cancelled out right when they hit the input due to them going back in phase.
ghosty can you explain this
so basically
in super simple terms
unbalance picks up unwanted noise
balance is a cleaner
a dac already eliminates noise
Unbalanced has no way to deal with unwanted noise.
Balanced inherently removes unwanted noise.
so balanced might be more well suited for a quiet listener then
cuz everything I listen to is too intense for any noise to matter
shinobu from demon slayer
Oops did I spell wrong
is the first person that comes to mind when i hear saddist
oof
a pacisfist?
I think I might buy a dollar store strainer or two to make a mod for these babies
it starts with a m
a masochist
Balanced has 2 signals , one original and one inverted. Playing at same time it will in the end play the original signal but only that, so any other noise picked up that is not the same will not come out. Like cross referencing
I used to do that all the time with songs, inverting the polarities and stuff some songs you can isolate vocals or instruments
ooo kk
my dac has a balance and unbalance output
didnt know what they ment but now i have an idea of it
Ye that’s part of it. I actually didn’t know what balanced was for a while after I learned about the inverting stuff
darkness is a meme masochist
Darkness is nice
why is there 2.5 and 4.5 balanced btw
Megu is nice 
overrated doenst mean bad
👀 friend had a mail day
also i totally photoshopped that definition just for the meme
i dont think saddist is actually a word
urban dictionary
feel like I might need to mod these babies so they don't flop around
never had a headphone that could flip 360 degrees no prob
yea its not on urban either
yea ik that's the word, but you spelled it w/ two d's and i photo shopped the definition to look like that
I guess I like suffering

dino 
how are you
ono
if the flat seat is bad, is there any other recommended chairs with a headrest and adjustable arm stance?
dino is a drainer
i just finished my last final last night
i hope you played a lot w/ @last plinth
and i woke up super early today to go to the dentist
I never mentioned who I like to see suffer 
drain gang
dino have you heard topman
i love icedancer as a whole
lance is a drainer 
what

FeelsGoodMan Clap LOUDER
bladee lowkey falling off imo
gasp
Easy there kuzu 
that's my face
birb
Evil
not very drained of u
you mustve been drained after you got your girlfriend because thats not possible
i prefer ecco out of all of them and bladee second
man, have you not heard climbing by thaiboy
thaiboy the most mid out of all of them imo
true lowkey
who needs gf when you have headphone
but his bangers r op
hes just a feature boy
i need the sauce
i have not
i need to catch up on Genshin so maybe later
Kuzu screenshot looks like its a limewire version for flacs ima need a link

dino my friend is gonna send me a file filled with flacs
if i get any drainer songs
i can lob
i dont want to read but why is bird being sent
angry face
i see
I have my sources for flacs


i have like 7tb of flac files
all 600ish of them
prive it
i need an emote of that shoebilled bird
prove it
lili having 7tb of storage is believable
and yes I just have them hooked up to e10k
too much storage cant find it
ok so absolutely amazingly



Kuzu updates on the 6xx?
lemme check
PB is Petabyte
and im not a man smh
it's gonna be a while
I wish I had enough storage for FLACs
bro you totally do
🤔
they aren't that big
i pray for your 6xx
i have hundreds of artists dled
ur fine if u just want a few
I'm hoping so incredibly bad that I like the phantoms more than the 6xx
that 439 can fit a bunch
lili do you listen to that much music or u just have it just for the sake of storing it
I have like 700 flacs and all that is only 26gb
@tacit wing i use soundcloud for everything
BRO
one of my friends has soundcloud
@swift lantern all i listen to are remixes lmao
sc is where you find the bangers tho

7tb of flac files and listens to compressed ass music 
WHAJT YOU GOT ALL THEMN FLACS FOR THEN
sometimes i forget i have my flacs and will rip smth off of yt

bro i luv geon
honestly it makes me so sad that most of the edm scene is low quality audio
most of the independent edm scene i guess
i have so many djs ask me for sets
Does it need to be high quality when all it is is booming bass?
Flume's stuff is properly recorded
green keebs with a brass weight is op

Hello guys! I
i like this kind of stuff
and u cant get it from anywhere but sc
dude it has the koala side profile too nut
my music taste is all over the place
its a lot
ill legit listen to anything but country
personally i dont think soundcloud is reasonable
Same.
the only country i listened to is kacey musgraves
I can't wait to buy an iPod and replace spotify with MP3's from the internet.
wish i still had my ipod shuffle
its prob filled with dubstep n stuff lmao
@sly warren batteries bulge and will break the device
true true most of the dubstep n stuff out there is just on youtube
also impossible to replace
Not the Mini
maybe bandcamp if you're lucky
That's the Nano
is bandcamp in full fat flac?
no
The Nano is what gets the Black Spot of Death
its the mini too iirc
Nope
Mini's don't suffer the BSpOD
That's downright easy compared to a Nano
plus 0 point when classic exists and can take up to 1tb
2nd Gen Mini can too
And, it can shuffle as many songs as a 6th Gen Classic
Roughly about 60k
black and white screen tho 🤮
i just used my phone and an external drive i made when i actually used my flacs
@swift lantern so how does soulseek entirely work
you search for a thing, if they have it, you can get it
you share a folder of yours and you can pretty much dl anything
if they don't, you don't
@tacit wing its like weird bittorrent basically
you don't even technically have to share but it's nice to do so
oh do me a favor and see if my shares work
for people who suck too much to get into RED
search for "2019 Takanori Nishikawa" and see what comes up
are most of the stuff on here flac
some
not entirely
but some are just bad reencodes
wack
but they're the most reliable source for flacs I've found
i keep my tools secret >:))))
u will never know how 2 flac properly 
you talking about an audio checker?
i think i might have a problem tbh
I check by ear
7tb of flac and idgaf abt audio quality
since that's all that mattters
bro give
give me that hard drive
what's wrong with you

dino did you search what I said
jordan dennis - crumbs
that's not.... mine
lmao
what is it

looks like someone else grabbved it though
cuz before there were 0 results
ok search 2015 xmas eileen see what comes up
@stoic solar if you can get me ROTTENGRAFFTY's
HALLELUJAH
I will do unspeakable things
ill look
I have yet to find any of their stuff in flac
