I should also mention that I'm fully aware of the insane popularity of the GoXLR series. Which makes their company's implosion all the more baffling to me. Since there will be no support for GoXLR in the future, I would prefer an alternative.

If anyone knows of a good hardware mixer for Twitch streaming with a 2-PC setup that is relatively easy to use, supports an XLR mic, plays nice with Linux, and isn't too expensive, please let me know. Bonus points if it can do fancy things like auto-ducking.

I've essentially transitioned my gaming PC setup completely to Linux. I only boot up Windows when I have to. And I'd really rather not do so for streaming on Twitch.

However, given that VoiceMeeter isn't available for Linux and there are no easy alternatives, I may have to boot up Windows 2 or 3 times a week if I want to get back into Twitch streaming.

To avoid that, I suppose I may need to consider getting a mixer.

I've reached the age where I understand why people are so happy to win appliances on game shows.

My better half showed me this from instagram yesterdays and I couldn't stop laughing. TBH: I still can't stop giggling...

Got asked if I was Canadian twice today, which for an American traveling abroad is always a compliment

Padilla's assault & handcuffing is getting all the attention, but what Noem said is perhaps more terrifying.

"We are not going away. We are staying here to liberate the city from the socialists and the burdensome leadership that this governor and that this mayor have placed on this country and what they have tried to insert into the city."

Admitting they're not here for violent criminals, they're here to overthrow our elected officials

The old web wasn’t perfect.
But it was yours.

@iCaspar You can skip the shader processing if you don't mind occasional stutter during gameplay. You can also enable a setting to have it run in the background while you're not gaming.

Week 2 on my formerly windoze, now #linux machine: success getting #citiesskylines2 running. I had to abandon my MS/Xbox copy of the game and re-purchase on Steam, and because I'd pre-ordered back in the day I lost the bonus map that came with the original. But I never built anything on that map anyway.

The only real annoyance is waiting for Vulcan Shader processing.
