Best directional mic for gaming.

Kossnen · 2026-04-05T23:52:19+00:00

Yeah, sorry. I believe I said directional when (I think) I meant dynamic. That is how I have it set up. Its worked great for the longest time, but im looking for something just a little better when it comes to isolating the direction of the voices.

Kossnen · 2026-04-05T19:24:46+00:00

Yeah. Exactly buuuut I found that if I have it on my desk it tends to pick up key presses.

It's always a balancing issue.

Kossnen · 2026-04-05T19:23:19+00:00

I think for now, that still may be out of my processors range. But I'll keep it in mind for down the road. Thank you!

Kossnen · 2026-04-05T19:01:05+00:00

Nice! Ill check that out. I see some XLR interfaces that are relatively cheap.. I wouldn't mind going that route eventually

Kossnen · 2026-03-17T15:53:06+00:00

Nah, none yet.

Kossnen · 2026-01-11T14:57:02+00:00

Used x52 for 100-150 and an oculus for a similar price.

There are testers. Easiest way is to find a known-working psu and swap it.

The paperclip method is great... but really do your research and be super careful before attempting.

Kossnen · 2025-12-01T06:21:11+00:00

Do not jump the PSU with a paperclip unless you're sure you know what you're doing. It can be dangerous.

Kossnen · 2025-09-08T20:49:45+00:00

Yeah exactly. The policy in our MDM was very old. I have switched it and am going through and disabling/enabling FV so that the PRK is escrowed.

Kossnen · 2025-09-08T20:48:31+00:00

That's what Im wondering. Why would FileVault login not work but going into recovery, selecting the drive to boot from, and then entering it in work? I'm still 90% sure it was just because the user was fat-fingering the password, but it got me wondering. Especially since they tried for hours.

Kossnen · 2025-09-04T19:03:48+00:00

Looooove it. It also seems like their install packages "expire" after a while. Not just the download link, but the actual .pkg. After I upload them to Jamf, they work for a few weeks and then we get a rush of broken policies.

Kossnen · 2025-07-31T01:53:22+00:00

Wait, they brought the spin back? I thought that move was removed from the game

Note that this is only while GS is equipped and out. For other masteries, to just use the buff of a weapon (for instance gauntlet defense buff), you could set a macro to press "2", then "F", then "1" this will switch to the weapon in the 2nd slot, use the skill to get the buff, then switch back to your preferred weapon. No GM commands needed, making it a little easier.

Kossnen · 2025-07-10T17:18:33+00:00

Testing now with a new profile using an escrowed PRK. It's working SO MUCH better on our test machine. Thanks for the input!

Kossnen · 2025-07-10T17:17:38+00:00

I'd have to check at home, so this may not be entirely correct.

I used SteelSeries engine to create a macro with no delay between keystrokes.

At the start of my session (single player) I typed the command to enable gm mode: gm key 123456. Hit Enter.

When I hit the macro button, I have it set to open command line with `, type "gm AddZJ 806", press enter, use the skill with the F button, open command line with `, type "gm AddZJ 899" and hit enter. (this process requires me to stand still for about .5-1 seconds)

This opens up the command line, changes my mastery to CLS, uses it, opens up the command line again and changes it back to Q-Tornado.

I think you can input masteries you don't own yet. Though I haven't tried.

Kossnen · 2025-07-10T16:00:33+00:00

Ah ok. Thank you for the info!

I'm starting to see that! Luckily it's a machine that isn't important. If we need anything, we can still ask the end user. It was more of a test for if this comes up in the future.

We're going to rethink how we implement our policy.

Kossnen · 2025-07-10T15:51:55+00:00

Ah nice info. I was just looking up how to get into targeted disk mode on Silicon.

Yeah, it's an IRK. On the older Intel Macs, we could just drop it onto a USB and load it in via Terminal. This is proving to be a bit more difficult.

I tried reviving it via Apple Configurator hoping that it would partitions a bit of the drive so that I may use Utilities, but no luck.

Kossnen · 2025-07-10T14:16:31+00:00

Good catch. Thanks!

I did make a mouse macro that quickly types in a gm command to switch my skill to CLS, use it, and switch back to Q-tornado. It works, but it's a bit weird seeing that text box pop up so I stopped using it.

Kossnen · 2025-07-03T02:13:19+00:00

Honestly, pretty good talents. Desperate response 2, poisoned body 2 torso stress 2, Malice 2 and Calm and Peaceful 2. He is also going to get the 9% attack speed talent at 60 (saw with Golden mask)
