I've been familiar with the Sega Channel service for a while now. Until the release of the Sega Genesis Mini in 2019, and Limited Run Games' cart reprint, it was the only way to play the North American version of Mega Man: The Wily Wars (Rockman Mega World in Japan).

I believe that was the last mission I had to do, so I headed back to my home hangar in Orison, Crusader, Stanton System. Completed all 3 categories and got my 30k (sic) needed for all rewards, hopefully.

6 days ago, I went to Levski to do the Molina Mold collection milestone contract. Finally had a reason to use the Sterling suit that I bought from one of last year's patch bundles, even through I probably didn't need that much protection. Better safe than sorry.

Returning to Seraphim Station in my flagship to finish the last of my 30,000 points for Star Citizen's "Clearing the Air" event. Now working on the milestone contracts in all 3 categories, in-case there's hidden bonus rewards.

Spent a countless amount of hours doing the Resource Drive event on Star Citizen, got to Tier 5 on both Hurston and ArcCorp. Wish I knew how easy it was to run the "Large Cargo Retrieval" mission while I was running Hurston.

Sadly OBS is not... super great visually at showing whats going on w/ audio filters.

At least for mega peaks this is my limiter i have set at the end of my chain, that should prevent the worst of it.

If you still have issues feel free to reach out and i can try and help!

An image of a volume bar, -60 to -30 dB are "Hard to hear"
-30dB to -13dB are "audible"
-13dB to -5 dB are "Priority"
-5dB to -1 dB are "Loud

BGM max volume should be around -30dB
Game max volume should be around -13dB
Voice max volume should be around -5dB
and Screams should not go past -1 dB

My cheat sheet for OBS/Stream audio levels

I know a lot of folk struggle with levels, so use this as a base to work off of!

Labeled lines at the edges of zones is the max that sound source should be if you want a "standard" audio balance for a stream.

For my streamer friends out there.

If you find some low graphics games still lag your setup it may be trying to run at unlimited FPS.

Make sure your capture in OBS has "limit capture framerate" checked

If you have an Nvidia card, I'd also recommend setting a global max FPS in the control panel

Another lil tech tip for streamers and Vtubers

OBS has built a log analyzer that can help solve Most problems you might be having

Accessed through "help" -> "Log files" Menu in OBS or at obsproject.com/tools/analyzer

Upload a log then click analyze, its that simple.

Today marks 12 years since I started backing Star Citizen, so I figured I'd show an evolution of my fleet. When I first pledged, I only had a standalone Origin 300i. I didn't acquire my first game pack until January 2014, which had a RSI Constellation Andromeda.

The RSI Polaris looks pretty nice in the dark. Was sitting in orbit around Monox in the Pyro system after doing a contract to restore my Citizens for Prosperity reputation.

For the first time since buying the Malkuth avatar back in 2020, I finally started setting up the Omake version, which trades out the harpy wings and legs for human limbs. I want to buy more EFBody outfits eventually, and a lot of them don't support Malkuth's harpy limbs.
