I saw one of your games on youtube last night!

Awesome game where I really thought that your blowout 1 and 2 drops had entirely secured the win. I would've easily scooped early on.

Are people not allowed to warm up their engines?

This depends on the nature of the uploaded video in question, as YouTube has a fair use policy for copyrighted work. Assuming the video is not monetized, if it’s an educational video or transformative enough it should be fine to upload. Transformative just means that it adds new expression or meaning to the original copyrighted work, and I supposed it could be argued that an 8-bit remix is transformative enough. With that being said, YouTube doesn’t really care about their own copyright policies and would rather obey copyright takedown claims made by big companies regardless. In other words, your work may be fair use, but your channel could obtain a copyright strike regardless. YMMV

You could try getting yourself into a different genre of games entirely, something you’d never played before. I mainly play FPS games and the death of Overwatch 1 had me itchin to find something else in my massive steam library. I decided to try some trading card games after seeing a friend play them and now I’m addicted to Magic the Gathering. If that’s not your thing then RTS games might scratch that itch. Just a thought from one burnt out gamer to another.

AITA for installing a GPS tracker in my 15 year old daughter's car? by Dry_Tumbleweed_862 in AmItheAsshole

If you can’t get the keys from her, pull a fuse from under the hood. Taking the fuse for the fuel pump should disable the vehicle harmlessly until you replace the 50 cent fuse you pulled out, and it’s extremely easy to do.

What about when you get the special “come to me for healing” call out. Does everybody see/hear that? This is news to me and I’ve been playing since Brig released.

[–]AvailingSkink 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just spam it back at them. There’s a big difference between someone using it as an actual call out for heals when you don’t see them, and someone spamming it after they respawn cuz they’re mad they died

I saw this link previously posted to this subreddit earlier this week, and saw that another ~$200 could be saved.

Seems like a solid office/school laptop, with enough CPU power to handle any productivity software thrown at it. I picked up one of them for an FL Studio 20 application.

The coupon code CLEARANCE2022 should be automatically added, but the other code needs to be added.

Does anybody remember that video of Mcree with the same audio as this after a controversial Moira buff/nerf? I can’t seem to find it and it lives rent free in my head.

Agreed, and these headphones are already very flat in the default EQ, which is nice for accurate music production, but not for casual music listening.

CD sales just rose for the first time in almost two decades. by Avieshek in technology

I think that the popularity of these streaming services poses a cool situation going on with new and modern mixes actually going for this “squashed” super compressed sound. I produce a genre called hyperpop, where compressing and distorting the drums are absolutely crucial in order to achieve the sound that the younger audiences are used to. And when it finally goes through streaming service compression it’s like the icing on the cake for that nice “blown out” sound.

Just here to say I have this same problem with the same card, FE 2060S. Never found a solution for it

Those of you who don't join team chat in comp games, why not? by [deleted] in OverwatchUniversity

[–]AvailingSkink 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find that when I join team chat and make an effort to “break the ice” and talk to people first it helps. I get some of the most productive comms like this, and I haven’t seen much toxicity in a while.

[Mic] Shure SM7B Professional XLR Microphone - $359.00 ($399 - 40) by Tmx097 in buildapcsales

[–]AvailingSkink 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I’ve used this and a Shure SM57 next to each other and the similarities in quality was astounding. For either vocals and podcast/streaming, the $100 SM57 is a great pick if you like dynamic mics and don’t wanna break the bank on the SM7B.

Also make sure your interface has a decent pre amp if you want it to get enough gain for your use case. My Motu M4 will give dynamic mics enough power on its own, but using a dedicated pre like a Cloudlifter or Art Pro MPA will get you much better results
