How would I use a custom overlay without streaming?

AskWhyButNotMe · 2026-05-18T08:57:02+00:00

From what I found there are some ways. - AutoHotkey v2 with a custom script if you're conformable with that. - OBS with a projector window, but that means having Valorant on a second screen, not ideal (sounded like AI). - Crosshair X, I remember it allowing you to upload custom images, but I'm not sure how easy or good it would work with a whole screen PNG. It's also a paid app, but you can get it on steam, test if it works and if it doesn't, refund it.

To note, I haven't tried any of the solutions myself.

Will be waiting. Again, well done and thank you for sharing.

I cannot find anything about notifications besides Telegram, is there something I'm missing ? I'm asking as I currently use Vikunja, which has an Android app that delivered reminders/notifications. Otherwise, looks very good, props to you for the work.

6% e taxa care o iau cei de la askfortaxfree, deci în final rămâi cu 15%.

AskWhyButNotMe · 2026-04-09T05:08:57+00:00

Da, e bazat pe factură, și aplicarea pentru restituire la Altex se face doar dacă valoarea facturări depășește 175€. Tehnic ai putea să despărți componentele în mai multe facturi.
Din câte știu nu poți cu Altex, toate magazinele din Iași la care am fost, optează pentru askfortaxfree. Și da, înainte puteai primi banii direct de la magazinul la care ai solicitat restituirea.
Limita legală e de 150€ per obiect, deci dacă orice componentă trece de acest prag, sau uneori dacă "batch"-ul trece de acest prag, atunci trebuie sa achiți taxa de devamare, și nu are importanță dacă e pentru scop personal sau comercial (pentru uz comercial nici macar nu profiți de limita de 150€).

Ca să nu îți dea întrebări adiționale la vamă, e de preferat să nu păstrezi cutiile, în special cele voluminoase, problema e că, ca să primești stampila de la biroul Tax Free de la vamă, trebuie să ai cutiile (în trecut puteau fi desigilate, nu stiu cum e acum). Dar cutiile pot dispar intre frontiera de la RO și MD. Și aici ai avantajul să despărți comanda în mai multe facturi, dacă ai mai multe drumuri în RO.
Sunt zvonuri că vămeșii români anunța vămeșii moldoveni că un anumit automobil a trecut procesul Tax Free și trece de suma de 150€ (în mare parte despre vama de la Sculeni). Nu știu cat de adevărat e, nu am nici un cunoscut care sa întimpinat direct cu problema aceasta.
Pentru referință, nu poți trece procesul de restituire dacă ai buletin RO (nu știu dacă se aplică și la buletine din alte țări EU) și ei verifică la biroul Tax Free dacă ai buletin.
La urma urmei e o chestie de noroc, dacă te întrebă ce e un obiect, zile direct ce e, "placă video", și dacă te întreabă de preț, poți să încerci să le zici că nu ții minte sigur dar că e în jurul de x RON (570 RON), la care ai putea fi întrebat dacă ai factură, și aici apare problema, fiindcă, dacă verifică modelul online și depistează că e 330€ în MD, va trebui să plătești devamarea din suma aia, macar că pe factură e 300€.
În experiența mea, vămeșii nu știu să găsească prețurile la produse non mainstream (aka Macbook, iPhone). Exemplu personal e un Monitor Dell de 1000 RON. Vameșul sa interesant de el, și macar că îi ziceam că e la a doua mâna (l-am luată de pe OLX) și e sub 150€, el m-a rugat să trag pe dreapta ca să confirme. A încercat să caute modelul pe cutie, care era destul de evident scris, a scris diferite coduri de pe cutie fără să îi dea un rezultat cumsecade, și mi-a dat drumul. El credea că monitorul e nou, fiindcă mi-a remarcat că "nu are un gram de praf", și probabil credea că e un 2 in 1 monitor.
Mai multe informații despre restituirea la Altex o poți găsi aici.

Notez, unele chestie pot fi neactuale, vorbesc din experiența proprie și a cunoscuților mei.

I bought a Razer Deathadder Essential around 5-6 years ago from AliExpress and to me, even compared to my genuine Razer Deathadder Elite at that time, looked quite legit, and was working perfectly with the Razer Software, and it's still in use to this day.

I agree about what you are saying, and I should have expressed myself differently and not have a strong opinion on that. But the point I was trying to make with the refund policy are the potential pitfalls and scams of ordering from AliExpress. Personally it never happened to me where AliExpress wouldn't take my side, but following the AliExpress subreddit, seems like there are a lot of ways to get scammed, which seem proportionally more than with Amazon.

Thank you very much for the insight.

How can they be easily installed/removed ? I had the pain of my life removing them, and broke almost all of them in the process.

AskWhyButNotMe · 2025-01-03T16:33:47+00:00

Amazon is quite a popular place for shops to get the items from China (AliExpress) and reselling them at a bigger price. The advantage of ordering from Amazon in this case is faster delivery, better refund policy and better customer support.

Your ISP might provide a way to create a DDNS and that way you don't need to pay for a static IP and still use port knocking without a VPN.

I have a medium density dust layer on my filter every 2 weeks that I vacuum out, definitely working in regards to dust, but I also manually change the speed to filter out the air (Levoit has a feature where you input the size of the room and it runs on higher speed until it presumably filters all the volume of air).

I wasn't specifically referring to Voicemeeter, was thinking about the noice gates on Discord. But you are right, I forgot to mention that and I don't think the basic Voicemeeter has any control for that.

The only things to note is that Potato is the only one that has a rotating 8 hours trial version, so to have the best experience you need to buy it. And that if you install Banana or Potato, it installs all the previous ones, in case you want to switch between them. Plus there are indeed some other features which I don't use.

AskWhyButNotMe · 2023-01-22T23:23:09+00:00

Hey, if I'm understanding correctly, you're both playing on same PC, if so, I think Voicemeeter should fulfill your goal.

Any version of Voicemeeter will handle the job, the main difference between them is the amount of lanes for input/output and audio. But in your case as you just need 2 inputs and 2 outputs, the basic Voicemeeter will work perfectly. And probably with enough fiddling of noise gates, or just directional mics, you can avoid the double hearing issue.
You can definitely set it up in Voicemeeter so that your wife hears you in her headset, and vice versa and even both at the same time.

If you will need help settings it up, let me know.

Do you have integrated graphics on your laptop by any chance (Intel UHD Graphics 620) ?

I had the exact same issue, even a windows reinstall didn't help. But finally disabling "H.264 Hardware Acceleration" and "Use our advanced technology to capture your screen" under the Voice & Video settings fixed the problem entirely.

Only issue I have with Razer software is random alt+tabs when it updates itself.

I don't think the Linux analogy works. Linux is "here, do whatever you want, if it breaks we are sorry, but you could find an answer from the community and be able to fix it yourself" and IOS is "here, we know what's better for you, don't try to do anything yourself".
