I'm a legally blind, long white cane using gamer. I also play on Xbox, and love the Fallout games (esp FO 3), the Bioshock series (OG BioSh fav) , and the Borderlands franchise (BL 2 topping that list). As a Gen Xer, my gaming dates back to a TI-994A and holding up a tape recorder to the tv speaker to SAVE the game I hand keyed in from a coding magazine. The Apple //e felt like a miracle with floppy disks! I was all about Zork || then. It would continue, this love for gaming, through an SNES, Dreamcast, Dude I Got A Dell for WoW, and pc games until the Xbox, and now VR with the Quest 2.
As my vision continues to worsen, I look for more stuff that I can experience now. Thank You for joining me as I do, and if you have low vision, too, I sincerely hope you find extra value with my content.
Likers and Subscribers greatly appreciated.
ps... the cat's fav game is Borderlands: The Pre Sequel. Cats...weirdos.

During practice of "American Pie", I had a different sort of glottal attack. Since I can't create this situation, I decided to see how it'd work out for me. This isn't a filter, and there was no pain or strain. I found it funny, so figured I'd share. :)

With some personal flair, my take on the GT hit. I sing for the joy of it and hopefully gave you a smile with full knowledge that I'm no professional :D

You have a good voice
I appreciate you saying that :) I took coaching last spring to help me learn to improve. I can sing in the car with friends easier now lol. It's for the joy of it
Also, I'll be back with BL. My housemates are traveling, so just taking advantage of not disturbing anyone else with singing :)
Around 4:36 first episode
How do I unlock it?
Play the song list after tutorial is done. Things unlock as you get points for the songs
I played this a while ago and hated it.
Many didn't like it, especially on the heels of BL2. Did you play any of the other Borderlands games?
@@TheZenaxa all of them. Played them all in order and just wasn’t a fan of the oxygen breathing component with this one. Switched characters to claptrap and had some fun with it eventually but you almost need a couple people playing for it to be enjoyable.
@Alex-tm4th I understand. My goal is to play them all before Borderlands 4 drops next year. Any thoughts or theories about BL4?
Sorry Handsome Squad for not seeing you in until 13:49 I have 2 sets of headphones, but only one would pick up TTS from chat. I'm not sure what happened except that I hadn't rebooted the bot programs which enable the TTS. I'll make sure to test my voice and TTS beforehand from here on out.
Meriff next time!
Sorry I wasn't here I had school today
Don't sweat it. I don't have a schedule right now, so no way for anyone to know. :) Beyond that, while I sure enjoy the company, I certainly don't expect folks to pop in. No pressure at all. I'll probably be on more tonight for a bit, not sure for how long. I like to acheive a completion of some sort- though I don't always succeed.
Ok
Hank was about 13 when he died so he lived a good long life
He sure did. Bigger doggos sometimes leave us sooner than that. Many good memories to keep.
I have a new video that should come up in about 10 minutes I'll tell you when it uploads
@Julius-g2p Very theatrical! Are you involved in a drama department with your school or city?
@Julius-g2p oh, and no stream tonight. The internet is out.
I am not in some kind of theatrical department but I am in the band
10/10 vid 😊😊😊
Heya Hand! Thank you for the trivia and company during the video! Was nice chatting with you and Jax.
You are welcome can't wait for the next one
Thanks! Will probably be on within the next hour.
Nice I will be there
Probably not at the start but I will try
So glad to have the audio issues resolved inre the terrible stuttering and weird feedback. Capture card was well worth the money.
This is a simple budget method. Doable with equipment you may already have starting out. As of this message, I've implemented an elgato capture card and it's allowed me to livestream with ease. Highly recommend if you're looking to go Live.
La letra tiene que aparecer un poco antes, que no sea justo cuando hay que cantarla. 👎 Pésimo
Appreciate the feedback, thank you
Broke down and got an elgato. It should also serve me for VR since quest now supports hdmi. So I'm justifying it! It did great, just need get a wired 3mm jacked headset for comfort- unless I can get good wireless earbuds to connect to the pc, then I'll go that route. But the BIG audio issue of static is gone. ETA: and I do believe this went through in 4k at 60 fps, at least to youtube. Not sure about Twitch. I don't think Twitch can output 4k? I could be wrong. At worst, it's 1080
Additionally, adding the audio source close to the 57 minute mark, those were bluetooth earbuds I never paired to the pc. Yet they tested with the chimes heard there; I heard the chimes in those earbuds which were paired to my phone. I had pulled up the livestream on my phone to hear what the viewer would hear. It added confusion. Though there was no interference, it wasn't real time for me in the game- so not what I could listen to to play with the delay that happens. I do need to hear what the audience hears for the TTS chat reader if or when an audience joins. Unfortunately, the over the ear headphones do not fit well over those earbuds. And I'm hearing delayed game sounds through them. I kind of need the smaller wired earbuds that DO fit under my headphones to have muted output and no game sounds and only my TTS sound. I'm no sound engineer, so this is a slow learning curve for me. **Sudden realization as I edit this comment is: Obviously, all pc not just game sounds and mic - are being heard by chat. That's why I heard the chimes. I shall persist!
I think the static (interference) is coming from the window capture, as the desktop audio capture sounds fine when the game is not on screen. And the echoing I heard seems to indicate there are two audio sources. However, in the advanced settings of the software only shows the desktop audio source having volume over 0%. I removed or turned down all other sources except my mic and desktop audio. What I hear is through headphones, and desktop audio is through earbuds. No sound is in the room except my voice and background sound the mic might pick up, like my chair or setting something on the desk, etc. All electronics audio are going into headphones of some sort.
Hey bro glad to see you post still keep up the grind you kept me going now my channel is beginning doing very good thanks bro for your help and keep up the work💪🤟💪
That's great! Very glad for you! I'm plugging away for sure, trying to work out some technical issues with audio. I'll get there
@TheZenaxa it takes some time to get there and get use to everything
@Gaming10133 it does, and I'm slow to get it, but I'm not discouraged at all. I'll just keep going til I get it. I am enjoying the journey! Sometimes, it helps to have someone tell you that you can do it. So, thanks for the confidence boost! Much success to you.
@TheZenaxa always I will check on for some time to time if you do to and see I am not posting then comment please🤟💪🤟
Learning a lot about the process here. I hear I lowered my mic gain too much. The feedback is gone, though, which was a #1 issue. Mic audio now going through an external mic but not the headset mic (a better mic than the headset mic, but also more cumbersome as a hanging mic that is not omni directional). I'll continue to improve there. These Lives are not expected to get much viewtime, but do act as a nice journal of my origin here and problem solving beyond just getting Prism Studio set up, which was its own months long process to learn. Anyboo- if you have watched, THANK YOU!
Some audio feedback. Will work on that
Seems to have kicked in after turning on the headset- but not right away. Using an external mic to record, might be set too high. Could be picking up audio from the headset causing feedback. Or could be picking up my chair - never realized it squeaked - and amplifying high pitches
wish i knew about topmapper earlier tbh
It's still very new and he's taking feedback, if you're interested in that ground level feeling. Thank you so much for taking your time to leave a comment. As small as I am, I can just hope word spreads and maybe a bigger name can help advertise him. Like Naysy maybe. Thank you again
I feel like I'm the only one hearing Madds Mikkelson....
Voice actor for Eric? I can hear a resemblance. I'm reading he's not the V.A., but Clancy Brown is (whom is renowned for many roles in games and animation).
@@TheZenaxa thanks for the info.
Test. Trying to learn Live stuff. Not much to see here. Sorry!
Please note there is more than one TopMapper user name, the @topmapperai is the right one. He has videos of Beat Saber where the other profile has other stuff.
Why its so dark here?
Probably my Quest settings. I have vision issues, glare is one of the big ones. Other reviews I've noticed have brighter visuals... It's not the game, it's me. 🤔
Yes
Thanks for taking a moment to comment 😀
In the description you said edited on the quest im wondering what editing software you use on the quest.
I installed Inshot.
My editing software was being weird. Some of the errors of Dictation (like "our" instead of "are") I corrected didn't save; nor did the final trims. Sorry about the abrupt ending! But the info all made it in there. Also, I did record video in my virtual environment, but none of it displayed- I don't know why. I assume it is a privacy setting I have that is blocking images while Passthrough is active, but I'm not sure. This is why I added text to present more of a slideshow of notes type format.
Lovely comment card saying how much they enjoyed the Requiem. Thank you, Audience Member. You say a night to remember forever- as long as my channel exists on UA-cam, it shall be! ❤
The 2nd Violin was very pleased with the enthusiasm and praised an "electrifying" performance. Thank you, 2nd Chair! It surely does help to know the music a bit better on my end... *ahem*
Short red post-it noting they're waiting for me to eat at the private table... oooh, fancy!
The notepage requests a break for finger stretching as they've been playing 8 hours straight. Signed- The ENTIRE orchestra. When did this get written if you had no breaks?! And if you think your fingers are cramping, think of the brass and wind sections and their embouchure techniques. "Entire orchestra", okay 5th Chair (Violin)... you're certainly on my radar.
Another post-it is asking for sheet music not to be left scattered about. In short, Be Tidy, your mama don't work this house. Yes, Ma'am, noted.
I swear, the musical Annie took inspiration from Swan Lake for "(The Sun'll Come Out) Tomorrow" Anyone else hear "...I'll stick out my chin, and grin, and say..." Also think some of the Harry Potter soundtrack grabbed some inspiration. :)
It seems I asked my Assistant Conductor to lead rehearsal. Shame, since it's obvious I need the practice. Ah well, on to the concert!
Post it note saying our rehearsals are a joy to the ears. Yay!
I wish I had better vision to read everything in game, but at least I can zoom in here on the YT recording. The composer details cards are a really nice touch!
The comment card was an undeserved but appreciated bit of praise- unsigned
New track unlocked is Beethovin's 5th
The second note is asking for very pronounced indications for the Stravinsky piece... Requested by the 5th chair violin, Grahim El-Masry. Seems we had a mere 15 minutes rehearsal. Good luck, 5th chair- watch out for 6th chair?
First note - they'd like to freshen up the theatre's by cleaning the dirty stage curtains... apparently Maestro can convince maintenence to take this on :)

Twitch streamers, ideas on the poor audio while on the bus? I'm new to recording using the xbox + Twitch, then exporting to YT. The pulsing is present on the Twitch og recording. Too. Ends at 7:50 once I'm off the bus. Just the game's audio file? Related to Twitch autoblanking copywriter song (Xbox logo minutes)?
Thanks for this 🙏
@dinom3106 I had to reconnect again last week. Trying to like a Short worked right away. (could be anything, I just use a short as they're quick and a quick click away won't hurt the Content Creator.)
Good luck hope id be your 253th subscriber💪💪
Thanks. I'm not focused on speed running to 1k, but every soul counts :)
@@TheZenaxa yes u know it hope u get there quick good luck
@@TheZenaxa and it toom me 4 years of trying very hard
I have oculus quest 2 not 3 I rather have my oculus 2 controller
The Pro controllers do work with both the Quest 2 and the Quest 3, but if you like the Ringed Controller feel, the Quest 2 is certainly the way to go. Glad you enjoy your VR device! No matter which it is
So nice to see some help for us VIPs! :D Unfortuantly, if I walk back 15ft, the Quest just moans that I've left the play zone, and I can't get the menu bigger. I ended up taking screenshots of it and memorising the positions of what I need to adjust. Btw, I think it would help you a lot if you turn off all the effects. It'll stop all the flashing and makes everything a bit less overwhelming. Top players sometimes do it too, so I think it's just genrally helpful if you're practising. Anyway, thanks so much for the tips and happy gaming!
I turned off my guardian/boundary as I was constantly leaning or walking through it. I do the screenshot method, too! We do adapt to challenges in creative ways! 😀 With my Beat Saber, in playing custom songs, which is almost always now, I play in the void so that I don't have the background effects. So happy to greet another VIP! Happy Gaming! 👁👁 😃
im getting the pro controllers
how do you like them so far? I am curious too if you have the Q2 or Q3? Thanks for your comment :)
