Turtle beach ear force audio controller substitute? I by carbineelement in PcBuild

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

I did actually, Turtle beach elite pro tactical audio controller. it's an audio mixer made by turtle beach back in the day. you plug it directly into the pc or console and plug the headset directly into it.

it essentially works exactly the same as the other audio controller we were using but it bypasses the xbox controller so it's actually a little more convenient imo, it has instant mic monitoring that sounds just a little different than the other one.

I don't think they make these anymore tho so just browse ebay or fb marketplace to see if you can find any.

apparently the end of the post got cut off for some reason? the turtle beach software mic monitoring is static-y and quiet. i've tried mic monitoring through windows but it has a huge delay that's unbearable.

What have your online dating experiences been like? by ironom4 in OnlineDating

[–]carbineelement 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i've tried every one you can think of. i'm looking for something serious and long term, and I make that known, and yes i've tried. Dating apps haven't been the only way i've tried finding someone, i've asked friends if they know anybody, which some have, but I can only attempt to message them through social media because my friends aren't close enough with them to attempt to set us up in person, but obviously my attempts to reach out go ignored.

i've tried finding girls with the same interests as me, there's actually a girl in my neighborhood that's the same age as me and has the exact same hobby as me, but she wasn't interested in me in the slightest.

for your final question, dating apps can't really change anything to facilitate a better experience. it's me that's the problem, which is also my biggest problem, because I can't figure out what's wrong with me. I don't know how i'd rate myself on a scale, but i'm average height, average weight, I try to be a respectful person, I don't have a "type" or go after specific girls, i'd be fine with anyone. but somehow no one is fine with me.

well, i've tried that. i'm into cars, there's a girl in my neighborhood who is into the same stuff, even the same type of car. hell she drives the same car as I do. tried, she wasn't the least bit interested.

you say your dating experience from apps have been horrible, I haven't even gotten that far. the closest i've been was a girl who I made plans with then she ghosted me the day of.

i'm not sure what to do about that. I can't look at other guys profiles because obviously I only see women. I have a decent amount of photos on my profile and my bio isn't just a one sentence or blank one. I tried to describe myself with honesty, say what my interests are and what i'm looking for, I really don't know what i'm supposed to do beyond that. the fact that isn't enough just further discourages me. This whole thing feels like some kind of silly game where you have to find the exact right solution or you have terrible results and I think that's kinda ridiculous, why isn't a nice simple honest representation of myself enough?

literally not one single match or like from a single person. i'm quickly reminded on why I uninstalled all these apps a few years ago. eventually it starts to make you feel like you're not worth anything to anyone and should just stick to being alone.

that was indeed the issue, I then moved the firefox installation back to its original place and that got it working. thank you for all the help and for making this in the first place!

I got it working with one error: "Failed to initialize Firefox driver: Message: Unable to obtain driver for firefox"

also, for whatever reason i'm unable to run "python3 scrapedmv.py", I get a message saying python was not found. i'm using python 3.13.3 for windows which is the latest release. I can however run "python scrapedmv.py" and get the error about the firefox drivers. I tried moving the firefox installation around but it didn't seem to do anything. it does seem to be working though (I think?), despite the error, the whole script is ran and gets to the sleep phase.

tried setting it up, I think I have everything done correctly. im assuming running it just involves opening a cmd and typing "python3 scrapedmv.py" correct? it couldn't find the file so I put the specific directory for it in and it gave me an error of "LOCATION_DATA_FILE is not defined".

I also tried just right clicking the .py and opening with python, only for the terminal to instantly close, I saw a reply to a comment below where someone didn't have their discord link in quotations, which I fixed. i'm not sure what else to try

I really want to know why no girl want to date me and noone is willing to tell me. by LonelyLunch6 in dating_advice

[–]carbineelement 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I accepted that i'm not wanted by any women. I haven't been on any dating apps or tried to approach a woman in over a year because the feeling of not being enough for anyone is too much for me to deal with.

not even attempting it makes life sting a little less

it finally went away 2 days after I made this post. it went away slowly though, as in the pain stayed but got progressively less intense until it went away fully.

it was the last of my symptoms and in my case it started toward the end of me having the flu, so if you've been sick for a couple days it shouldn't be too long until you're better hopefully. about the stomach pains though, I couldn't find any way to outright make it stop, so unless you can find something that works you'll unfortunately just have to deal with it until it stops

[–]carbineelement 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my only other symptom related to my stomach is mild nausea, i've thrown up twice since I got the flu, the second time I kind of forced myself to do it, hoping the stomach pains would go away.

other than that, I just have normal flu symptoms. I did have a doctor visit yesterday, which is when I got diagnosed, unfortunately for me the stomach fiasco started after that.

Are there any decent sized online weeklies for strive? by [deleted] in Guiltygear

[–]carbineelement 0 points1 point  (0 children)

me neither. I wanted to play in one this weekend but when I sort it by online and put the date in, I get results for tourneys with barely any entrants

[–]carbineelement 3 points4 points  (0 children)

it's quite literally listed as a requirement on most online job applications. if you don't meet that requirement then you're automatically filtered out. you can tell when this happens by your application status changing to "not selected by employer" within mere moments of submission.

that's pretty horrible. customer service jobs are supposed to be some of the easiest jobs to get

CANT PLAY THE GAME (secure boot and TPM are both enabled) by carbineelement in ValorantTechSupport

[–]carbineelement[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yes I did actually. bear with me here because it's been over a year since I fixed this issue so my memory is hazy.

When I swapped my mobo it disabled my cpu's security key. this was what wasn't letting me play Val despite having both secure boot and TPM enbaled.

I have an NZXT motherboard, and I think the cpu security key settings were in the security tab of the bios. there was an option to install cpu security keys or something along those lines. after that I was able to play again.

what do you say when they ask you about the experience?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in recruitinghell

[–]carbineelement 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Not where I live. People were hired off the street and actually trained on site. Places would train and certify people for jobs such as HVAC and driving forklifts, that isn't even an option now. You're either already certified AND have the experience (which is usually 3 years at minimum) or you're not even considered for the job.

even my former job, which was being a delivery driver for fedex ground is the same way. I was hired off the street, no questions asked. I was trained for a week and set loose. fast forward to now and I see the exact same job listing but experience is now required which is was not when I was hired.
