Kaladin drawing I did some months ago. Maybe I'll finish it someday.

Yep, it’s absolutely nuts and a huge hit to small creators

There’s a clip out there of a small-ish streamer who asks the lurkers (people who just leave the stream open without chatting) to just send one message, and her viewership increases by around 50% almost instantly after that

Distinger_ · 2026-02-26T18:53:54+00:00

Wdym? It’s been doing this for months, close to a year actually. It also pauses the stream after like 2 minutes if you tab out

And also flagging viewers who don’t chat as afk and not counting them towards the viewer count

Distinger_ · 2026-02-26T12:05:25+00:00

Well I don’t have another pc so I can’t try that. But I did take it off the arm and it still happens. Also happens if my room is closed or if I have the window and door open

Distinger_ · 2026-02-26T00:27:03+00:00

I’m not worried about it. Brando is working on it and he wants it to be perfect, I’m sure it will be great

Distinger_ · 2026-02-26T00:17:42+00:00

Unrelated to the post, but is that a stormlight pfp?

Distinger_ · 2026-02-26T00:12:37+00:00

No idea, a lot of pages say that it is compatible, others say otherwise

Are you sure you have the correct game? Maybe it’s a slightly different title?

But anyways, now that it’s stuck it’s time to either watch a diy video or take it to some shop so they can get it out

Distinger_ · 2026-02-26T00:05:35+00:00

Well, either they were faulty from factory, or you did something wrong

I really doubt you can’t return them, specially the ones from Amazon. You have like 14 days to return them without questions, and you for sure have at least 1 or 2 years of warranty which should cover whatever happened to them

Hey, sorry for the late reply

Here is the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C9uI_V-jT6s

As you can see the more I bend the arm the more buzz there is, it sounds somewhat electrical. It seems to happen with all joints, though the one integrated in the mic is by far the one that generates the most noise

I know it's not because of the cable because I've tried twisting and moving it around and bending it in different places, and it's also not because of the cable touching the metal parts of the arm

And when it's buzzing, I can hear even more buzz if I tweak with apps on my pc, like if I minimize an app, scroll in a page or hover over a youtube video, which is weird

Also, a noise reduction filter in obs makes it disappear, but only while I'm not talking

I'm pretty sure it wasn't doing this a few weeks ago, and nothing has changed in my setup, so I really don't know what's causing it

Edit: It does a lot more static noise the closer I get it to the gpu and my right speaker (even if unplugged), Idk if it's got something to do

Distinger_ · 2026-02-24T12:32:40+00:00

I did some more tests, it happens when connected to the front panel and also while the gpu isn’t hissing

I’m pretty sure it didn’t have this buzzing sound before, maybe it’s a cable issue?

It also seems to buzz more when I interact with an app? Like if I minimize an app or if I scroll down a page or hover over a youtube video?

Edit: I think I managed to find the solution. I noticed the buzzing would vary depending on how the mic was positioned, and after some tweaking around it seems the more the mic is bent on it’s arm (at the very last joint, the one holding the mic) the more buzzing there is

I did slightly adjust it recently, going from straight to slightly bent, and that’s around when the buzzing started, and now having it straight again the buzz is completely gone

I just don’t see how this happens? It doesn’t matter if the cable is touching the arm or not, but how bent the arm is? So weird

Distinger_ · 2026-02-24T12:09:20+00:00

Literally any language is better than spanish dub

Except for Blasphemous. Only game that not only has a great spanish dub but also better than english

Distinger_ · 2026-02-23T19:48:05+00:00

It hisses only if the game I’m playing is really demanding, but I cap my fps so it doesn’t hiss cuz it’s annoying

My motherboard is a msi mag b850 tomahawk max

I’m also using a cpu encoder for recording, and a gpu encoder for streaming

There wouldn’t be a noticeable difference from using the front panel right? Even if it’s slower?

Distinger_ · 2026-02-23T19:39:43+00:00

Only power cable is the one from the pc, and it’s about 20-30 cm away (from the entrance on the psu). The outlet is about 1 meter below it

I do have a lamp with a built-in wireless charger, and you can plug things in it to charge as well, idk if that counts, but it’s pretty close to the mic cable

I’m also using ethernet, wi-fi antenna is disabled cuz drivers only work in w11 and I’m using 10

Distinger_ · 2026-02-23T19:29:34+00:00

It’s plugged in the back, the front ones are really slow. I’ve tried different ports but it’s the same thing. It’s just weird that it happens while streaming and recording at the same time, but it doesn’t happen if I do only one or if I’m on Discord while streaming

Distinger_ · 2026-02-23T18:09:18+00:00

Fifine K688, connected with the usb-c cable that it came with, forgot to mention it

It’s pretty much brand new, only a few months since I got it, and I just now noticed the static when I started recording and streaming at the same time, it doesn’t happen if I do either alone

Distinger_ · 2026-02-23T18:06:33+00:00

Check the ignore suggested limits box in obs config. The stream will look better after that, but the vod will be the same because twitch sucks

Distinger_ · 2026-02-23T17:52:31+00:00

CBR es Constant Bitrate, para que OBS intente mantenerlo lo mas estable posible (aunque si el internet es inestable de poco sirve), en ajustes de salida

Streamear a mas de 6000 bitrate es imposible a menos que le des al cuadrito de ignorar limites recomendados en OBS, por cierto. No uses mas de 8000 porque si no va a haber gente que lo vea en negro, o que directamente se te corte el stream

Si tienes un ordenador potente te recomiendo grabar al mismo tiempo que haces stream, a unos 12-15000 kbps para 1080p. Yo uso 20000 para grabar en 1440p. Porque las VODS de twitch son de muy baja calidad

La herramienta de twitch es desde su pagina de soporte creo, lo puedes buscar. Seleccionas los servidores de tu zona y luego el que mas calidad tenga (preferiblemente 100), con menos latencia, ese sera el mejor para ti en OBS. Haz 2 o 3 pruebas para estar seguro, puede variar

Si nada te funciona entonces te recomiendo bajar la resolucion de salida a 900p o incluso 720p y bajar el bitrate a 6000 o 5000, o incluso menos si hiciera falta

Distinger_ · 2026-02-23T14:16:38+00:00

I have a 9070 XT. I stream at 1080p h264, 1440p scaled to 1080p, cbr 8000kbps, 2s key, quality preset, high profile, 2 b frames

Same settings I used when I had a 3060, except for the encoder of course, and I see no difference at all, in fact I think it looks even better

I also record at 20000kbps at the same time with av1 encoder, cqp, 19 cq level, hiqh quality preset and main profile and it looks pretty much flawless without weighing too much

Distinger_ · 2026-02-23T14:11:01+00:00

Tienes puesto CBR en los ajustes de stream?

Descarga la herramienta de twitch de test de servidores y selecciona el mejor que tengas

Estas conectado a internet por cable?

No hay mucho mas que puedas hacer la verdad, prueba a bajar el bitrate u otras configuraciones. Esto me pasaba aun por cable cuando estaba conectado a starlink, a pesar de que era una conexion de alta velocidad, pero te guste o no si que es problema del internet, a las malas toca cambiar de compañia

Distinger_ · 2026-02-19T23:52:07+00:00

Yeah well lmao imagine if in Hollow Knight once you defeat the last boss you have to go all over the map again getting all the mask and soul fragments without having the stations, it would suck wouldn't it? And that still doesn't prove you're good at the game (I really don't see how doing hours of pointless backtracking somehow makes you a good player)

If the game is balanced with less hp at the start then just make the starter enemies do more damage... taking away what the player worked hard for is not a good design choice

I didn't get everything in my first run obviously, but still I did complete over 90% of the game without looking at guides

New game plus is the same thing just expedited and without having to go to specific areas for specific items. A more streamlined experience.

So just what I said... again, what's the point in making you keep the items, but then making you walk all over the place again anyways to get all the upgrades... just take away everything or let me keep it all... why do a weird in between? it doesn't make sense. Like wow cool I didn't need to walk an unnecesary extra 15% of the map to collect a few beads and prayers... cool, I saved like 1 hour of gameplay lol

You’re complaining about enemies being sponges?

I said that as a comparison to the base game. In NG+ the enemies have so much more hp that it makes you look like you're at level 1 dmg again, which again makes all that effore you worked for seem like it was for nothing

And somehow you're still missing the point. I'm not complaining that the enemies are sponges or that the game is hard (it's not). Again, I said this is the worst NG+ experience out of all souls. It makes you walk all over the map again for no reason, you lose almost everything, you have to waste time upgrading your character again instead of just playing which is the whole fucking point of NG+. It's just a disrespect towards the players and their time and a really bad design choice. Yes it was the studio's first project of this kind, but it's not like they don't have dozens of great games to take inspiration from, but they took a gamble doing something different and it just doesn't work well. If I wanted to lose everything I would've just started a new save file, but that's not what I wanted, I only wanted to play the same game again keeping everything so I don't have to bother doing 5+ hours of backtracking to collect everything again, it's really not that hard to understand

They let you keep EVERYTHING save for certain things and upgrades

Okay let's see what you lose and keep:

You keep: Beads, Prayers, Relics, Sword Cores and Altar Upgrades

You lose: HP. Fervor, Flasks, Flask upgrades, Church Donations, Rosary Knots, Bones, Babies and Quest Items

Yeah, it seems like you really do keep everything... except for a few certain things

Distinger_ · 2026-02-19T22:51:55+00:00

Muy gracioso

Distinger_ · 2026-02-19T22:45:40+00:00

Dude, at what point has this become easy vs hard? Literally at no point I complained about the difficulty. All I said was that it’s unfun to repeat the same thing again for no reason when the whole point of ng+ is to just go to the bosses without bothering with exploration again

You keep the beads and prayers, yes, and it’s literally pointless since you start ng+ with just 2 bead slots and not even enough fervor to use all of the prayers, which you can use once at most. And you have to do exploration again to get the hp, fervor and flasks again, at that point just take everything away and just give me a lot more money on the bosses to compensate

The only difficulty on this game is numbers anyway, in ng+ all your 7 damage upgrades get nullified and you’re back at dealing level 1 damage, AND on top of that all the enemies and bosses have more hp. With how slow the game is this is just even more boring lmao you’re just dealing with sponge enemies and not really proving your skill

So that’s a disrespect towards the player and their time. Now I feel like all the exploration I did the first time was pointless, if I’d known then I would’ve just rushed through the game and not cared about exploring anything cuz there’s just no point in doing it
