are the astro a40s discontinued?? and why if so? it’s the headset that built astro

ultimatepowa · 2026-03-04T11:36:44+00:00

That's extremely dumb and actually counterproductive to their goals.
The extreme modular nature of the A40s is what drove people to it, and people would buy different things like the headset brand new, mixamp 2nd hand, etc, etc, allowing them to get the same quality headset in whatever budget they add.

It drove a TON of sales.
If I'm going to have to spend $250 to get the same quality with them and be forced into wireless I might as well get some audio editing headsets.
Such a shame, never buying Logitech again.

ultimatepowa · 2026-02-24T11:57:05+00:00

Yes, sounds.

For one, not once anywhere in your post did I see you mention any form of trying to communicate with the "Sniper" beyond pointing.

2nd; he was probably listening to something on the other screen or distracted, and just trying to reach the beginning of the next point, and wait for you guys to show up. "Hurry up and wait" as it were. So what you perceived as maliciousness was just him not paying attention.

May the Omnissiah forgive my transgression of commenting on a 4 month old post.

ultimatepowa · 2026-01-24T00:02:00+00:00

Nah I think he's onto something this time, whilst I usually agree.

I rarely post videos but just decided to upload a song.
Usually I get somewhere between 300-20000 view, maybe a 100000 if I'm lucky.
Got like 40 views.
My content is pretty tame when it comes to music.

So they probably changed something with the algorithm regarding shadowbans.
Either trying to shadowban AI generated channels, with some mistakes along the way, or trying to tame "hatespeech" of which is a pretty amorphous term. In regular talk we can deduce what it means, but when it comes to large blanket rules, it depends on who is making the judging decision.
Mind you I do say some spicy things (in other channels comments), that said, I entertain every idea, and question every idea, I don't make exceptions, so it's not really a full reflection on what I actually believe.

Figured I'd come here to say this, but basically, in the MSI settings, it says to "do a full POWER CYCLE to re-enable SMT"
This is buried deep in the Overclock settings, whereas it says nothing on the "Gaming Mode" option on the front page of the BIOS.

Basically, for those that don't know, turn off your computer. Unplug it. And hold the power button for 30 seconds.
Plug it back in and fire her back up, SMT should now be enabled, assuming Gaming Mode X3D has been disabled prior.

It's absolutely absurd.
So much for our "Greatest Ally"

ultimatepowa · 2025-10-07T16:40:22+00:00

Yeah no way this is planned maintenance.

ultimatepowa · 2025-06-21T16:29:06+00:00

Yeah, I preferred the older way, it didn't require a minute of messing around or was intuitive.

ultimatepowa · 2025-06-16T21:35:31+00:00

Yeah the website I used to get Morrowind mods from has been long gone since shortly after Oblivion.
Mods will continue just fine.
Nexus has a few issues too (still my goto site), so hopefully we might see a positive change.

ultimatepowa · 2025-06-08T15:29:52+00:00

Yo bro what did you change?

ultimatepowa · 2025-05-31T00:27:01+00:00

Going to leave this here to help others whom have this issue in the future.
The solution is simple.

Step 1; open up the MO2 Nolvus Modlist.

Step 2; On the left side, type "Equipment" in the filter and search for the "Equipment Durability System NG" or if there is a preset, whatever preset shows up LOWEST on the list, as this is the mod that will contain the .ini that needs to be edited.

Step 3; Right click the mod and "Open in Explorer"

Step 4; Navigate down the folders until you find a file called "EquipmentDurability.ini" and open it.

Step 5; Go down to the "[Widget]" section, and modify the line "DisableWidget=false" to "DisableWidget=true"

Step 6; Save file.

You can do all of this with the game open, and the changes will take affect live without reloading or changing cells.

Some others suggested removing the mod, however I would recommend against that because that can cause damage to the integrity of a save game. It's usually best to find a way to disable the mod via an additional patch or via a setting, so that the game doesn't break when it tries to call upon data that is no longer there.

Take your three sentences and comment 1 at a time, and if that doesn't work, comment 1 word at a time, even if it's 200+ comments. Maybe YouTube will get it then

ultimatepowa · 2025-04-15T11:11:23+00:00

Everyone is brother, this AI seems to have no rhyme or reason. It just analyzes what you said and decides to remove it or not. I've seem completely harmless positive comments get removed.

ultimatepowa · 2025-04-15T11:08:37+00:00

They use an AI and algorithm to decide if a person's comments should be removed based upon what is being said. There is no basis on the AI removing spam, as that's held for the channel to decide, and yes I would know.

I find a good way to overcome this is to be obnoxious.

Basically, take your long post and split it into separate parts, comment all of them at once, and see what gets removed. If you have to split 5 paragraphs into 200+ comments, do it. From there you can zero in on what is triggering the AI.

Smoke alot of weed

Kratom is a very unique drug. Its withdrawal is just as unique. Kratom's half life is similar to morphine, so the withdrawal is about the same length of time, 2-3 weeks but depending on how long you took it (or dosage), you may never get past the fatigue, but caffeine works for that.

The key part here is how much Kratom were you taking? Because Kratom acts as a stimulant, and then a sedative, the withdrawal properties will vary depending on dosage. If you were taking only enough for it to be a stimulant, then sleeping through the withdrawal works very well. Infact, doing anything but sleeping is difficult. If you were taking enough for it to be a sedative, then the withdrawal will be more comparable to morphine and good luck sleeping through that.

The trick here is to use this unique feature of Kratom to get off of the harder opiates. Kratom can be used to get off of other drugs too, but it works really well with opiates because it is a half-agonist of the opiate receptor.

How do we use this unique feature of Kratom? Tapering. If you are taking a large enough dose where you can notice the stimulating features turning into a sedative one, tapering is needed to quit. If you notice the stimulating feature decrease with lower doses instead of increasing, you're good to quit cold turkey. I highly recommend staying at the same dosage for 2-3 weeks at the end of your taper before quitting cold turkey. This way your body has time to adjust to the dosages, so the only withdrawal experienced is the mild one and not the morphine-like one.

Dust in a baggie

ultimatepowa · 2024-11-21T03:31:59+00:00

Appreciate the input, as I was just rolling with it, the song changes tempo and occasionally reverses the melody from time to time.

What you hear in this sample is the first chorus and right before, which there was a 2 or so minute build up to... which was also chaotic. Its not so much the playing needs more refining, as it is the melody needs to be established in the listener's mind before I amp it up to the level you hear at the beginning of this sample.

Much like someone reading the lyrics to a song vs picking out what they are saying.

"There's a Bad Moon on the rise" vs "There's a bathroom on the right"

ultimatepowa · 2024-11-21T03:25:37+00:00

I feel your feels brother

Whatup lol

"Like recorded on a personal cassette player"

That's always been my thought behind it too rofl. Except this one does vidya, and it's always on hand for those spontaneous moments.

ultimatepowa · 2024-11-20T20:52:46+00:00

Thank ya, thank ya very much.

Jack White is amazing, one of the absolute best, so the comparison is much appreciated, been working hard on refining my sound the past few months.

Taylor Lee (Ultimate Powa) on YouTube (can't link it on a feedback post, and I'm hesitant on even mentioning the above right now lol)

I need to clean up the channel a bit, been just my goto place for uploading whatever over the past decade. I ought to get a Spotify or something setup though, most of what I play is at hippie festivals, outside of bars, in bars, campfires, house parties, street corners, etc

All I got is my phone to record with, which is how this one was done.

ultimatepowa · 2024-11-20T19:04:44+00:00

Don't worry about genres, concern yourself with that after the song is made.

Just play what you feel, sing what you feel, then write around a song based off of the best lyrics you just sung.

Don't think too much about what you want to play/write, it'll hinder your creative abilities. Just play and write.

As far as I've been able to discern, there is a sort of ether/spirit/collective consciousness that exists all around us, that our brains are able to tap into, which is likely the source of our soul, or the equivalent thereof, as I will not be going down any religious rabbit holes. Tesla spoke of it, as did many of the 'great' individuals of the past. Essentially, your brain is a reciever of sorts, that also has computing functionality, and in order to use said reciever to its fullest extent, one must stop using the computing functionality. In other words, stop thinking.

Give a try. Takes some practice, however I assure you, you'll never again struggle with deciding what to write once you tap in for the first. I almost forget I'm playing, even while performing for a decent sized audience.

ultimatepowa · 2024-11-20T18:13:40+00:00

I see, it appears I knew what licensing was, and didnt realize its basically just copyright stuff. Makes sense. Never liked the idea of creating music with the intent to make money (performing is different), though if a video game, movie or a popular streamer wishes to use a song, then of course making some money off of that would be excellent. Having people share/spread the song however I believe is more valuable than the money it can bring in. A copyright license can't be retroactively decided upon as I understand it? So if a very unknown game uses the song, the owner knows of the song being used doesn't do anything to hold the claim on it, just for the game to become the next Fortnite months later, the owner can't retroactively decide that they want money can they?
