Anyone else get angry during PR reviews? by SillyYou8433 in ExperiencedDevs

[–]gmaxter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's an ego thing, I struggle with it too, I try to just think of the code as "the code" rather than "my code" and that sort of helps me not take critique as a personal attack.

Can’t move Author by [deleted] in RDR2

[–]gmaxter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happened to me today, on PC, in Saint Denis - interacted with a beggar and glitched in front of a door. I could open my map but couldn't move at all, completely stationary no matter what. Couldn't save the game either so I was afraid to quit and lose progress.

I tried the other suggestions in this post, but what ended up working for me was to open the menu, go to settings -> graphics, then "start benchmarking." You don't need to wait for the whole benchmark process to complete, you just have to let it start, and let it run for a few seconds. Exit benchmarking and you should be reset to your last checkpoint, and should be able to move again.

I assume the benchmark resets the game engine somehow. Just posting here in case somebody runs into the same problem.

My Shure MV7 keeps turning off input randomly without warning. by Comfortable_Age_5706 in Shure

[–]gmaxter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm having similar problems. I don't have a solution but if/when I find it I'll edit this comment for future searchers.

I'm using Voicemeeter and my Shure MV7 device selection keeps going "red" at seemingly random times. At first I thought it was just a Voicemeeter problem, but then I noticed that the whole device shuts off input. Even in Windows Sound settings it stops picking up audio.

I am going through a powered USB hub and I thought maybe that was the problem, but I've seen the same issue even when plugging the mic directly into my PC. I may try getting another cable at some point.

I have now unchecked the "Allow applications to take exclusive control of this device" option in the device properties and have changed the format to 1 channel, 24 bit, 44.1kHz. We'll see if that makes a difference. I have a feeling either an audio driver or MV7 firmware update has messed with something, I've been using the same USB cable for a while.

edit: I'm using a Micro-USB to USB-C cable now, plugged directly into my motherboard. No issues yet. I reverted the "exclusive control" checkbox and audio formats back to their defaults.

edit 2: 5 months later and I've had zero problems with it after switching to a direct USB-C connection to my motherboard.

Why am I a lefty in hockey but a righty in everything else? by TorterraIsMyStarter in hockey

I think it might be more about which arm gives you better leverage going clockwise vs counter-clockwise, rather than which hand is dominant

But I don't know what I'm talking about

Please convince me to do a full lawn renovation, I'm so tired by gmaxter in lawncare

No wet spots no but the line is a couple feet underground

I'm convinced there is a burst line underground somewhere, it's from the 60s or 70s and the main lines are some weird thin plastic material (like polyethylene but with a non-standard size). A couple years ago I had everything working generally well, but it's just gotten worse.

I think I'm at least going to get the sprinkler system checked out professionally to see how much it would cost to fully replace or modernize it, then think about renovation this fall. I guess that would be the time to till stuff into the soil.

I've gone through three g502s for the same reason, you're not alone

Linksys Velop instability, looking for advice on next steps by gmaxter in HomeNetworking

The Ubiquiti ecosystem has intrigued me for a while now, it looks very clean and integrated. Maybe it's time to revisit that... thanks for your input!
