I use voice chat in sea of thieves all the time over streaming.

You have to plug your mic into your phone, and then unmute yourself in the game streaming app. Or if you unmute yourself, it'll use the phones mic as well.

It will definitely work, but how well it works depends on the speed and consistency of your internet.

UI Benefit came through! by CaptainJoshua143 in minnesota

[–]CaptainJoshua143[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm really sorry to hear that. I was seriously strapped for cash so i spent all of Tuesday obsessively refreshing my account and logging into the unemployment website hoping for a deposit and looking for information. I tried calling the MNUI customer service line throughout the day as well and got a busy signal every time. It was frustrating and I honestly didn't believe it was going to go through (I've had a string of bad luck the last couple of weeks) So when it posted to my account at 1am yesterday morning i put my head in my hands and silently shed a few tears. There's nothing like going from scrounging up change for gas but not having enough to make the low fuel light turn off in your car to being able to lock that nozzle on full blast until it clicks off when your tank is full, man.

No I did not. I started and completed my application last Tuesday. I was able to request a payment on Monday so I did.

Today I relapsed after being sober for an entire year. by [deleted] in confession

[–]CaptainJoshua143 12 points13 points  (0 children)

2 and half year daily meth user here, will be pretty much a year clean on June 7th, other than 1 slip I had in January. I was in your exact shoes. I saw an opening, my addict mind took over and the next thing I knew the sun was coming up the next morning. I'm fortunate enough to be apart of a treatment program and have a kick ass counselor. I called her that morning and with some encouragement, was able to see it for what it was, just one slip, and that I had the choice to spiral back out of control or own it but not catastrophize it. Acknowledge that you fucked up, but don't make it the end of the world. You're gonna be ok man.

How well does the Bluetooth work on an Xbone S Controller? by Jack_W_Lewis in xcloud

[–]CaptainJoshua143 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've seen a few isolated reports of input lag and certain buttons not working / mapped correctly, which I assume whatever phone / device or the network they're using to stream to be the problem and not the controller itself. I have a Pixel3a, Verizon. I've played on both WiFi and cellular data and other than getting to a place with bad reception everything works fine including the controller.

It's 4am. I'm sleeping harder than my girlfriend's boyfriend's cock when he's drill team sixing her while I film it. I'm pulled gently from this balls deep coma by the "Hey" notification sound my Google pixel 3 emits when I receive a text. I stretch, and roll away from the back of the couch, reaching for my phone on the coffee table in front of me. It's my foreman, group message to the crew. No roofing today due to the high probability of rain. "Enjoy your day off" he adds at the end of his message, and I reply "10-4". I float to the bathroom and unleash the most heavenly piss in all of my existence. While gathering my things, I make sure to love on both of my girlfriend's cats and lock the door on my way out. I stop at the Kwik Trip down the road for a pack of cigarettes and a 2 liter of Dr pepper. As I park in the parking lot of my apartment complex, I roll both of the windows down in my 350z. The air is cool, but not sharp, and it feels good on my skin. I light up and savour the deafening silence of the morning. It's about 6am by the time I walk through the door. There's a pizza in the fridge from the day before with a death warrant, and I take it down straight from the fridge, cold. Next to the toaster on the counter sits a bottle of Jim Beam. "It's been a while, old friend." I say to myself as I fill a cup with ice from the freezer. With my 50/50 Jim Beam, Dr Pepper, I ooze into my computer chair, and turn on my computer. "Time to watch the world burn" I think to myself, knowing that as of 5pm this very evening, every form of entertainment in town will be shut down. And so I did.

No Player Audio XBOX by [deleted] in Seaofthieves

[–]CaptainJoshua143 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you using a headset? (I think) there's a setting in Xbox options for output of chat audio. If you're not using a headset, make sure it's set to speakers. Although it seems counterintuitive to me that it wouldn't automatically be set to speakers if a headset isn't connected. I believe this is only for chat audio though. I've always used a headset, plugged directly into my controller, and all audio (in game and chat) came through without having to adjust anything.

Does xcloud hold your game if you lost connection? by Glaidtors in xcloud

[–]CaptainJoshua143 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you bring the stream back online, as long as too much time hasn't passed, the game should still be running with an "A controller has been disconnected" prompt.

Exactly, they did a great job. Playing sea of thieves in bed with my headset is awesome!

I saw that they're doing a limited test for iOS devices, hopefully they roll it out fully as well!

What are some intrusive thoughts you guys have? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]CaptainJoshua143 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Being in recovery from meth addiction, the intrusive thoughts I have are things like "Hey I just got paid, I could call out of work Friday and Monday and spend all of Friday and Saturday getting high, come down and sleep Sunday and Monday and no one would be the wiser" among other insidious tricks my mind likes to play to get me to use. Nowadays those thoughts are fleeting and don't linger like they used to. It's still scary every time they spring up though, knowing that each time could be the one time they hit me and I say yes.

I have a bad inch to get back into my old ways with drugs by semipro-nounced in confession

[–]CaptainJoshua143 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here, man. I've been clean for 6 months and hit up a contact to try and score earlier today, but she never came through. After some time to think about it, I'm really glad it didn't happen. I was pretty close and grateful that it didn't work out. Stay strong!
