I guess I'll try some streaming too

[Velfi]

So I just upgraded recently to a different internet package and it has a bunch more upstream bandwidth than I was expecting, enough to actually stream.

I'm gonna start with my bronze Laura in SFV and maybe some CS:GO, check it out if you want, or not.

I'll be streaming for a while tonight to start, still figuring everything out with OBS.

Don't tell me how not to live my life!

I followed your channel, but reported anyway.

I'm going live for some more bronze Laura! Lemme zap you!

If you're using OBS, remember that if you want to watch your own stream you might need to view it on a different computer, because of sound issues and infinite echoes. I do it on my tablet.

If you have found a way around this let me know.

Just mute the stream you’re watching and it won’t echo.

The easiest solution is like Methais said, just mute your stream if you have it open and no echo.

However, I've found another option as well that uses a product called Virtual Audio Cable (https://www.vb-audio.com/Cable/). Basically, you install the drivers for the VAC, you set your default recording and playback devices to be the cable output/cable input, and you also go to the settings for the Cable Output (under recording devices), go to the Listen tab, and point it to where you want to send the signal, ie your headphones.

After doing that, you tell OBS to capture the Cable Input device as your desktop audio, and also have the mic device pointed to your headphone or whatever mic you use.

One more step after this, maybe there's another way but what I found was needing to use AudioPick (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/audiopick/gfhcppdamigjkficnjnhmnljljhagaha?hl=en), an extension for Chrome that lets you pick the sound device you want the tab you're in to use. So, if you want to listen to your stream but not have it playback, you would do all of the above stuff, but then in Chrome set the tab that's playing your stream to send directly to your headphones, not the Cable Input, and that will eliminate the audio of it from being captured for the stream.

I used this to listen to music and not have it going to my stream, though last night I tried just having Monstercat playing quietly and I think it worked okay too.

I like to be able to hear the sound quality.

Oh one other program that helps with the stuff I posted above: Audio Switcher (https://audioswit.ch/er). Gives you a little system tray icon to quickly switch your default playback/recording device, and you can set up keyboard hotkeys to do the switching also.

What's the point of listening to Monstercat if you do it quietly?

Well, to be fair it was the Monstercat: Instinct station which is more laidback and chill but I don't wanna blow anyone's ears out...

Back to SFV for me!

Took a lot of L's last night, hopefully better results tonight especially against Cody!

Thanks, man. I did better so far tonight, just took a dinner break and about to get back to it.

[Velfi]

Starting up again in SFV, maybe trying to learn a little Birdie tonight too, we'll see! Server maintenance seems to be done tonight.

[Velfi]

SFV time again! I switched to Streamlabs OBS, seems kinda neat with the new features that I noticed at least (versus OBS Studio). Watch and learn what not do with Laura, live in a couple mins!

[Taernath]

Who are the other people in the stream? You were talking with a couple others.

A couple people that found my stream through the SFV listings, I think. Not sure!

Friday night session, come on by and hang out!

I'm considering maybe 1 message on lnet during the evening at some point when I'm streaming, but I don't want to be obnoxious. Thoughts?

[Methais]

Do it more than that.

Everytime Vishra/T4F complains about something in politics, send a message.

[Velfi]

Back at it again with the Street Fighter, I started testing out some Birdie last night and he's sick AF. Probably playing a lot of Birdie tonight, and some Laura too!

[Velfi]

Taking the day off from the stream, but I had a funny match last night against a bronze Ken that was just on the edge of super bronze, somehow. I might be slow sometimes but I learn eventually!

[Velfi]

SFV time! Come check out some Laura and Birdie action!

https://www.twitch.tv/seamuspj/

[Velfi]

I'm live with another SFV stream, might try my Hitbox a little bit tonight!

[Velfi]

Doing some July 4th streaming, and thinking about maybe trying a little MKX later? I dunno, might be an interesting change. Come hang out and let me know if you want some MKX!

You may have been playing a special ed student there.

Ken's gonna Ken, man.

I'm live with some more SFV, going full Hitbox tonight! Still kinda awkward but it's feeling better, and I was checking out MKX earlier to make sure it runs and I think we're all good there too if anyone wants that!

https://www.twitch.tv/seamuspj/

[Velfi]

I think I'm switching over to being a Birdie main, sorry Laura! It's SFV time with the Hitbox, now with an appropriate button overlay!

[Velfi]

I made a new friend (https://www.twitch.tv/gutturalsteve) who also streams SFV and he made this for me :3 :3 :3 It's so sick!

It's SFV time again, now with Birdie the Owl!
