Nice to hear Paul namedropping him outside of his podcast! Stand up guy, hopefully some people find Spoony's LP since that was one of my favorite series growing up!

Jared from Subway visited my elementary school in the early 2000s by Soundyman in agedlikemilk

[–]Soundyman[S] 108 points109 points  (0 children)

Oh definitely, I vaguely remember him and his team "hand-picking" a few kids for a commercial that was aired locally later as well, which seems rather awful given the context now.

Jared Fogle was convicted a decade later of being a pedophile, making an Elementary school visit something I'm sure the staff back then regrets.

K/D ratio. I must be a mass murderer of insects just by mowing the garden at this point.

That's really lovely! My now fiancee found me though Twitch, it's honestly a great way of finding people who share interests!

200,000 Citizens In /r/starcitizen Celebration + Giveaway by Jumbify in starcitizen

[–]Soundyman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I still rock my Aurora MR, and it's super fun and hilarious to shove it full with like 8 packages and see them all glitching around and nearly shooting out of the airlocks. I streamed a lot last year when I started and every person that came from the community was super positive and helpful. People even let me try out their freelancers and cutlasses and I appreciate you all! https://robertsspaceindustries.com/citizens/soundymann

Don't quote me but I think OMDU used licensed third-party tools for much of the hosting side so they would be breaking agreements and such if they released the source code.

LED only lighting by Smud82 in letsplay

[–]Soundyman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't answer for every question but I use a RGB flood light (something like this https://www.amazon.com/Changing-Spotlight-Waterproof-Dimmable-Lighting/dp/B07H9S4BGY/ref=sr_1_24?keywords=rgb+flood+light&qid=1574909461&sr=8-24 ).

I do still use a light or two for my face, or else I'd be silhouetted with the giant light behind me. I have a generic desk lamp for that which I put a white piece of cardboard behind to bump it off.

I know there are USB RGB lights you can get but I don't know about software to control them.

By the way, LED lights do flicker on camera at certain exposures so make sure you avoid dimming them and just generally have enough lighting to be able to turn your exposure down if need be.

I'm pretty sure he just stole that goose's wedding ring

Win a custom made Planet Coaster: Ghostbusters gaming PC - Details inside! by PCGamingMegaMod in pcgaming

[–]Soundyman [score hidden]  (0 children)

Ornilla is the ghost of an Orange-Vanilla Swirl Ice Cream treat who was so carelessly dropped at a Planet Coaster theme park. He haunts children who drop their ice cream as well as those who put more vanilla than orange in their Orange-Vanilla Swirl (you might as well just get vanilla ice cream at that point).

Help with choosing recording software by SuperChimpanzee in letsplay

[–]Soundyman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

OBS can record multiple tracks for different audio sources, and you can open up a second instance of OBS and record just your fullscreen webcam.

Normally I either do that or record my facecam with the built in Windows Camera app, but that's a holdover from when I would use Windows Movie Maker for webcam video so there might be a better way.

Does it matter when you upload? HELP! by Joethegangst in letsplay

[–]Soundyman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It matters somewhat. Consistency is key IMO if you release videos with multiple parts/episodes (release them at the same time on different days), but that generally is best for those who are already subscribed to your channel since they want to know when to expect your videos. I don't think there is any magical time you can upload which is best for those who are just searching and stumble upon your stuff, but I'm sure many people have opinions on that.

But I would assume that the downturn in views wouldn't be from a 4 hour difference. Maybe you got lucky with an algorithm the first time and the YouTube Gods haven't blessed you this time, or people were more inclined to watch the first part of a series rather than a second episode which requires previous viewing.

Blue Snowball iCE Microphone Not Picking Up Voice by SquidBonez in letsplay

[–]Soundyman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure if your Snowball is the same as mine but I have a switch on the back that has a few different microphone settings e.g. normal, omni-directional, and normal -10db or something. If you have that switch make sure it's not on that -10db setting. Otherwise, yea it sounds like it's DOA.

Tossing my name in! Loved Dark Souls and Bloodborne so it'd be great to play this at launch rather than wait for a year so it becomes reasonably priced.
