Already responded to it, will take time since today is pretty busy, but I will eventually have another test. Oh, look, here it is. - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IupNy1kSlrk&feature=youtu.be

Well, the whole point is that saying what it is directly is the offensive part. Otherwise, why is retarded offensive and mentally challenged or special needs not? The only difference is that one defines what it is while the other bounces around it while saying the same thing. It is like African-American and black, we knew what we meant when we said black but it was offensive. The problem with African-American is the whole South African question and what we call them, since we aren't talking about Africans but blacks. That is the problem, we are changing words and not meanings, resulting in us basically just being left without clarity. The best way is just to substitute it for the offensive alternative but call them the inoffensive, if I understand how things work.

You know, I think I recall some color tints on my CRT. The biggest problem is that as I move to better stuff, I forget how much worse everything is, meaning I don't realize unless I go back and see just how horrible it was.

Gotcha, will change those three settings later... now I just need to remember to do that in 11 hours.

Heh, I don't miss the days when I had to use my parents' computer. Play for a few minutes, get told I need to do a chore or need to get off so they can use it. That was another reason to use it later at night, less periods where I needed to constantly stop. The laptop was definitely a massive jump for me, especially after the sinking ship I caused on my Windows XP desktop. I had a massive obsession with Windows 7 when it came out and insisted on making things as close to that as possible. I bloated my computer with lots of third party things, adding Aero features. I corrupted the registry in my determination. One of my fears with going to Windows 8 would be using a third party software to make it like Windows 7, since that is pretty much how I destroyed that old computer. I know it is totally different, but a small part of me still has that fear. Needless to say, I have always been crazy about Windows 7 and felt it was the best OS. This was of course after a decade of using Windows 2000 and XP. The hardest part of sharing a computer is the fact that you can't learn as much as you can't be reckless. Heh, I can imagine most would have complained when I took up most of my 200 GB drive with Heretic videos on a constant basis. Yeah, things were a bit more chaotic to manage back then, especially as the software I used loved to make giant files for potentially worse quality.

Heh, feels that was honestly the direction we went in the 90s and later. Honestly I feel there was a giant shift between the 80s and 90s. 80s was pop-based and cheesy, often basing things on one-off things. Star Wars, Terminator, Star Trek, everything was made for just entertainment then and there with Marvel comics throwing out whatever they felt like. The 90s roll and and everyone suddenly cares about how everything connects and canon in our fiction, stories in our games, and darkness in everything.

EDIT: Hmm, things are getting very weird. I managed to make my voice clear and no longer robotic. Basically I was listening to music earlier today and suddenly realized that the songs were robotic and metallic. A check into the settings revealed I had my speakers set as two different outputs in the video player. Suddenly that got me thinking that there must be two outputs for the microphone, something being duplicated somewhere. Suddenly it hit me. I had two playback devices, but I deactivated Chat mode.

Apparently I need to set my speakers to chat mode. Of course doing such makes it not really recognized in games. Yet there is a wheel on my headset designed with the intent to basically control the power of these two modes. Needless to say, the design of this makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. Why do I have a wheel that essentially serves to mute everything in one direction even though it is supposed to work with the microphone, but have another mode that makes it the exact inverse?

I have no idea why chat mode is even a thing. I mean, why have two outputs for my headset? I can already hear things fine in Game Mode, so why is chat mode needed. And how much sense does it make at all that it is pretty much the reason for all my problems with the microphone? Why is my choice in speaker affecting microphone playback at all?

Okay, well, there is a Default Communication Device. I set Chat as that. Now I got both working at the same time. Of course that makes things make even LESS sense. You turn it to game mode, mechanical voice. You turn it to chat, regular. This is the same audio clip, all I am doing is changing the playback device!

This is why I wanted to ensure I knew any problems with the headset, we might actually be able to fix this thing. It is absolutely insane and I still barely understand what I am doing, but stuff seems to be happening. Hopefully it actually works. I am uploading another test, this is much like the last one, but has me talking with chat mode as the default communication device. Not sure what is going to happen since game mode is at regular volume. I could switch it to prioritize chat mode, but it seems to kill the game audio, so let's see if it just needs this as a communication device. I honestly have no idea at this point and am pretty much winging it and seeing what happens, but I have determined the culprit. - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S329QQLIZkg&feature=youtu.be

After you check out the last one, if I still sound like a robot, try this out. It is essentially the same thing as the last one, but now with the wheel set slightly to Chat Mode. It doesn't result in much difference in my game sound at all, but when I use Chat Mode I can hear myself talking as I normally should. Basically this video has the best of both worlds. The only problem is what you hear. I have no idea how to make you hear Chat Mode and not Game Mode. - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y5lNBesDSxM&feature=youtu.be

Wait a minute... What if I made the default playback Game Mode, but then set OBS's speakers to Chat Mode. This do anything more than the last three videos or am I just sounding the same? At this point I have no idea how anything will sound to the outside world, who doesn't have two audio inputs, so I have absolutely no idea how any of this stuff sounds to a normal person. - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H0HiwDkpw_Q&feature=youtu.be
