"Mad at the Internet" - a/k/a My Psychotherapy Sessions

[reptile baht spaniard rid]

The outro music reminded me that Brad Paisley’s Online is now 17 years old. The era of the terminally online is fully upon us.

Null talking about how Trump didn't pardon Julian Assange reminded me of how instead of doing anything for Jan 6th protestors he commuted the sentences of and gave clemency to random black criminals in order to try to get more of the black vote.

He pardoned a literal Jewish ponzi scheme conman (Eli Weinstein) and he immediately got in trouble again for more fraud lmao.

@Null do you have a login for the internet archive that allows you to see age restricted content?

I have audio playback on my headset which I could hear myself speak. This is how I check every stream.

Also just because the levels are fine on your end it doesn't mean the stream is the same.
Obviously it's either OBS not outputting 100% volume or the restreaming service not sending 100% volume.
Just check your own stream next time so you don't have to rely on chat spamming.

I listened to Tuesday stream via Rumble on a mobile device, audio started out quiet but tolerable. Resetting your mic settings the first time made it MUCH better. Normally do desktop Rumble but it wasn't the first time I've used mobile and it didn't sound bad enough to comment in the chat, until you started getting gaslit. Not sure about other platforms.

I 'member

I thought this was a new CAPTCHA at first, "click all men until they are orange"

The OBS monitor registered me in the yellow, which is where you shoot for, and I have audio playback on my headset which I could hear myself speak. This is how I check every stream.

You are arguing with people that are literally too retarded to move their mouse to the speaker icon and turn the volume up 10%. There is absolutely nothing you can do for these people.

Mine doesn't go 10% higher than 100%.

I'd just suggest going +3db on the stream output because maybe all the crappy streaming platforms are compressing the hell out of everything. And save a clean copy for post-processing.

some people on nigger-tier systems (cough cough apple) have only one volume control and it only goes so high. If the shit is quiet enough, you need to play it in a browser that gives you separate control or run it through your own post.

the rumble was like the catbox file and that I had to jump in VLC because my headphones were max'd.

i'm presuming whatever streamsplitter is being used is doing fucky with the audio to "help" - probably basing it on the famous keffals rant from eras ago

Not much you can do on mobile (without putting AIDS on your phone at least)

You will never be a real streamer. You have no compressor, you have no floating mic stand, you have no bandwidth. You are a cis-hetero man twisted by sneed and feed into a crude mockery of audio perfection.

All the “validation” you get is two-faced and clout-chasing. Behind your back chat mocks you. Your e-daddies are disgusted and ashamed of you, your Internet frens laugh at your ghoulish podcast behind closet doors.

Audiophiles are utterly repulsed by you. Thousands of dollars of equipment have allowed them to sniff out casuals with incredible efficiency. Even streamers who “noisegate” sound uncanny and unnatural to a listener. Your vocal fry is a dead giveaway. And even if you manage to get a drunk superchatter, he’ll turn tail and bolt the second he hears a hint of your rusty, oscillating fan.

You will never be audible. You wrench out a fake HELLO CHYAT every single stream and tell yourself it’s going to be heard, but deep inside you feel the mute button clicking like a fan, ready to crush your words under its unbearable weight.

Eventually it’ll be too much to bear - you’ll buy a Heil PR40 Dynamic, braid a solid gold cable, put it in the USB port, and plunge into spergatory. Your Farmers will find you, heartbroken but relieved that they no longer have to live with the unbearable audio and fan noise. They’ll archive your RSS feed with a headstone marked with your user name, and every passerby for the rest of eternity will know a janny's podcast is buried there. Your code will decay and go back to bits, and all that will remain of your sneeding is a meme template that is unmistakably cringe.

This is your fate. This is what you chose. There is no turning back.

Meanwhile, in Josh's closet

 

[skunt]

after reading the last 5 pages i hope he turns the volume down even lower next stream. archive-watchers stay winning

 

[ForTheHoard]

I don't know how you guys coordinated the stream volume conspiracy, but bravo.

It's like building a tower, but with less racism and more gas lighting.

Now we just need to gas light him on whether or not he is actually being gas lit

Evil Edward flips the switch on Josh's preamp once more.

 

[Fëanor Curufinwë]

The audio is fine for me if I turn it up a bit. The only issue is when Josh plays a clip it's loud as fuck. I'd just lower the desktop volume so it's at the same volume of Josh's voice

 

[enamelled toothbrush]

I’ve never had any audio issues with the stream, and I’ve been listening for years. I don’t understand why you pay attention to these retards who can’t adjust their own speakers to hear you. On the last stream I was listening on rumble and you sounded perfect from start to finish. Tell these audio fags to fuck off.

The issue is the volume not the audio quality, it was just too quiet.
Yes you can just turn your volume up but then you get ear raped by system sounds and you have to adjust the volume of anything else you're playing at the same time.
Videos and podcasts have a standard volume range for a reason.

 

[God's strongest milkman]

I'll be honest home slice. I listen to every podcast twice a week every week always on my phone and usually with Bluetooth headphones. I switch between rumble and kick depending on which one is doing better at the moment.

You are always like the quietest thing I listen to and If I'm driving I always have to roll up the windows and turn down the air conditioning to be able to hear you properly. I always have the audio on max when listening to your streams. I think part of it is you just have a soft speaking voice that you need to compensate for more. Usually I can hear you better when you're like mad or ranting.

 

[Chuck McGill]

How the fuck is it news that Josh's setup is totally jank? I could have told you that by the fact that he doesn't use mid-stream piss jugs.
