Your reminder that you have no obligation to take in every single drama or negative event in the world. You have no obligation to look at every news story or keep tabs on all the latest tragedies and/or politics. You have no obligation to subject yourself to constant negativity and problems. Take care of yourself first and foremost, and if you can't or don't want this much negativity in your life, then just... don't. Cut it off however you need to. Stop watching/reading/generally exposing yourself to news as much if you need. You don't have to be constantly looking at or talking about the problems of the world. Not every negative story needs your witnessing, not every bad thing in the world needs your emotional responses. Now more than ever, always, always put your own mental health and safety before any of these things. You deserve to be happy and to spend your energy on things in your life that you can control. Stay safe out there all.

I have some edible cookie dough. I will not eat it all at once. Nope. I won't. I won't do it. I absolutely will not do it!
So, sound peoples who are better at audio than me. Whether it's recordings or streaming or any other audio I attempt to capture, it's coming out incredibly, incredibly quiet, to a point where I have to max out my media player volume to get any reasonable idea of what's happening in the recording. I have messed with volumes in sndvol.exe as well as ctrl+win+v, with very little luck. It seems like a problem with my setup specifically, as people with their volumes set lower than mine are getting much louder outputs. Is there anything else I can try to bump the volume up on recordings without making things unbearable to listen to on my side? I have a pretty loud pair of headphones so maxing out volumes on anything is not an option, and I currently can't get any new external solutions to alter this at the time, so would prefer a software fix if at all possible. It's a pretty consistent problem, and occurs across all recording/streaming apps that capture audio. Boosts are very much appreciated as I wouldn't have the first idea what is going on here.
Cat, rolls around in my lap and ends up kicking a TV remote onto the ground from a chair. Also cat, gets the shit scared out of her by the remote and Immediately tries to claw me up for daring to cause such an issue. Nice going, thank you, very useful lol.
I wish Mastodon would let you change your vote in a poll once you submitted, I just misunderstood a poll and voted for the wrong option. Somehow this should be implemented.
I realize I'm screaming into the void here because I feel like most of my followers are better than this, but when you begin messaging someone online, do not ever start the exchange with "are you a ?" (are you a girl/woman/female or are you a man/guy/male). If you're going to say this, I suggest you immediately shut your mouth. I assure you that almost nobody is comfortable when this happens to them. People, but in my experience especially women or people with feminine sounding names/usernames, get far, far too much of this horseshit. It's not cute, it's not funny, it does not make people feel good, and it does not make people want to talk to you. There is no good reason I can think of for why a person's gender should immediately be your business in a casual chat setting. Stop it. You have no idea how tired of this I am
Your reminder that when someone asks you to stop doing something because you're violating their boundary or consent, you stop doing that thing. And you stop immediately. No "but Iwas joking," no "but I did X for you, you should let me do it," no "just one more time." If someone has a boundary or didn't consent to something, you do not violate it. No means no, and stop means stop. There is never a good excuse to violate someone's boundaries, especially repeatedly. Common decency and respect, please.
Hey, app? Nagging me to hell and back about your latest updates is *not* going to make me want to update. Nagging me to rate the app will not make me want to rate, and if I do, I will likely feel the urge to rate lower because your stupid popup barged in and interrupted what I was doing. In truth, I will likely want to ignore you and not use the damn app instead of tolerating this dumb bs. Why can we not just have apps that work instead of nagging you for everything under the sun every 8 seconds. Erg
We had some technical issues, but we're back live with some more random games. Listen here: https://audiopub.site/live/b8942a39-b3e9-4aa3-894e-73805123721a

@evan@cosocial.ca Don't think I could even if I wanted to, as far as I know not accessible with screen readers.

@mew@fwoof.space Mona really is a great app but I... really can't say I'm impressed with the direction things are seeming to be going. Oh well, I guess.

For anybody wondering why I had reason to write this, It was because I was telling somebody about a weird dream where my screen reader was reading an online post about the "N O M E D I A" building. No, don't ask what that is, but that's where this came from.
Replying to
@tunmi13 Yes exactly. I don't want to mess around with... whatever you need to do to build something from source, I just want to use your program. Making me build it from source is going to drive me right TF away from your product because I wouldn't have a single clue how to build stuff from source, I'm not a coder.

@everybodyvotes I'd be almost completely uneffected TBH, if anything I'd likely relate to more people easier because I don't watch shows and they do, eliminating them would get rid of a giant barrier for me.
Oh, and look, now I have a different spammer. This one is mad about my nonexistent Netflix account. Yay! Thank you so much I love you guys. You scammers are the best parts of my life. I totally want you to continue spamming me every so often with uselessness.
Guys! Guys guys guys! This is the third or forth time in the past week that someone has tried to take away my totally real driving license. I'm so stressed out by this! See I have this car that I like to drive around at 200 miles per hour and I can't do that without my totally real driving license! Please help me! What can I do?
To end my absolutely wonderful day, a person who snores insanely loudly is apparently deciding to sleep in the room on the other side of my wall. Welp. There goes my sleep. Thanks world.

@bluenova @LWorksGames @x0 Ooof. Yeah I had that happen too, I was so close and then fell into a hole.

@rooktallon@dragonscave.space I wouldn't know lmao, I don't need it. I don't care about streaming anything.
Replying to
@Rich@dragonscave.space Possible in some, but not in all. Some of the apps I'm using are maxed out and still are quiet.

@simon@procrastodon.net @daygar@tweesecake.social This is literally why i said that I understand the purpose. I'm not saying the feature is stupid or not necessary in some cases, I just personally find them incredibly annoying.
Replying to
@randomfelix@dragonscave.space Yes, thank you, people are definitely misusing the term "slop" and it's annoying. Is there slop, the true definition of slop? Sure there is. There's plenty. But not all AI generated stuff is slop and the sooner people can get that through their heads, the better.
Replying to
@bot@fwoof.space Literally! You wonder why you lost your stars? Maybe because you disrupted everything and begged for ratings like a naggy kid. Maybe, like, don't do that? Just let me use your app in peace and I'll give you a rating on my own. Some apps are very bad about naggy popups about whatever they want from you.
Replying to
@daygar@tweesecake.social Maybe I'm in a minority, but I hate when sites and apps do this. How about you leave me alone and I can decide when I want my breaks thank you. Before anyone attacks me I know there are people who need this/benefit from reminders, but I personally hate them and would turn them off anywhere I could.

@WeirdWriter@caneandable.social This is awful behavior. I don't care what they were doing, just let them have their privacy. Ugh. People suck.

We're still streaming on here, now playing some Freight fate.

@randomfelix@dragonscave.space Will do :) By the way, I'm using pubsplash to stream these, just to answer your earlier question.

@LWorksGames I think the Lethal Lab footsteps are cutting off a bit during walking, not sure if this is intentional or not. Also, the L AI M mode has the bug with fireballs that used to be in x1's revenge.

@stevo399@dragonscave.space Funny timing, this happened right as my cat was yelling at my closed door. Lol.
Replying to
@Rich@dragonscave.space It's on the recording's side. On my end things sound like pretty normal volumes, I've even made them as loud as I can possibly deal with and still the recordings come out far quieter than what I'm hearing during them

@djwfyi I don't get spam calls, I mostly just get a ton of spam texts. Like 3 a week. They're very annoying.
Welcome to me awake on two hours of sleep. Yay, life.

@Bri @LWorksGames @x0 Really? It's showing up pretty prominently in mine and I don't think I have a bad computer.
Replying to
@randomfelix@dragonscave.space Very aware, we had some technical issues. Sorry, will be back soon.
Replying to
@jdking92@dragonscave.space Oh yeah I've definitely told people this before. You have no idea how many people over the years have came into my messages on various platforms and games and immediately, before saying anything else, went "are you a girl?" Go shove a fiery hot spike up your ass please and thank you.
