A Beginner's Guide to Typing Special Characters (#1606) - Duration: 3:38.
If you're new to Mac you may not yet know the best way to type special characters.
Of course you can type any letter or number or symbol that you see on your keyboard easily
enough.
But let's say it's not a character on your keyboard.
For instance, let's say you want to type the letter e but with a special accent mark above
it.
Well, the easiest way to do that for letters with accent marks, especially letters that
appear in non-English languages, is to simply press the key on your keyboard and hold it
down for a second.
So I'm going to press the e key and hold it down until this little menu appears below
showing me different versions of the letter e.
Now notice there's a number underneath each one.
I can use my mouse and actually click on one of these or I can actually tap the number.
So I'm going to tap the number two and it types the appropriate letter.
So this works for lots of different letters on the keyboard.
For instance let me press and hold o and you can see I get variations there.
Press i and get variations there, c, etc.
Not all letters, of course, have variations.
But if you want to type basic accent marks or variations on letters the way to do it
is simply press the key and hold it down until you see those little variations appear.
Then press the number on your keyboard.
But what about other special characters.
Like special symbols and emoji.
Well you can type those in any app that supports them.
So any modern app like Mail, Messages, Pages.
I'm in TextEdit here.
It could be Microsoft Word.
Anything that supports these special characters.
All you need to do is use the special keyboard command.
That's to hold the Control and Command keys down, both of those keys being held down,
and then press Space.
Then you get this special menu here that allows you to scroll through using your mouse or
trackpad.
You can scroll through and see all of the different emoji characters.
All the way into different symbols and anything that's kind of standard on most computers.
You also have little items at the bottom.
This is frequently used things.
I can jump right to smiley's, jump to animals.
So this goes to categories.
It all the same list here.
This is just a quick way to jump through them.
At the very top here there's a Search field.
So if there's something I know I'm looking for I can search for it.
But let's look at how to type a regular character here.
I can just click on this grinning face and it inserts it therein.
It's just a regular character.
I can hit the Delete key and delete it.
So Control Command and let's say I want to search for something.
I want to search for different hearts.
I'm going to type heart and it's going to just focus in on any characters that have
that in its description.
So you can see different hearts here.
You've got a smiley face with hearts for eyes.
Even playing cards that have hearts in them.
So you can choose any one of these.
Let's choose the broken heart.
There.
So this helps you quickly and easily find something that maybe fits the situation.
It also helps you find different symbols.
For instance, I'll type root and I can find there's the square root symbol, cubed root,
quad root, and all that.
You can find symbols by typing something that describes them.
So there's a whole bunch of different arrow symbols for instance.

✅ OBS Studio - 2018 Ultimate Guide to Streaming to Twitch [BEST SETTINGS] - Duration: 15:18.
What's up guys welcome back to the
Gaming Careers YouTube channel where we
teach you how to livestream and how to
create content within the gaming niche.
Now, a little over a year ago when this
channel was super small, I created a
video teaching people how to live stream
on Twitch using OBS studio and
what settings you needed, and I didn't
know at the time but when I created the
video it instantly became my most
popular video and it has remained my
most popular video ever since. I think at
the time of recording its taught nearly
700,000 people how to stream to Twitch.
Now with that video being a little over
a year old it is also a little bit
outdated. It has a lot of relevant
information in it still, but it's a bit
outdated really for three main reasons.
Firstly OBS has had 20 new
versions since I made that video so
there's been lots of updates including a
nifty little auto-configuration wizard
to help get your settings right. Secondly
Twitch has heavily invested in their
infrastructure all around the world and
have updated their broadcasting
guidelines and what settings
you should use to stream since I created
the video and thirdly, graphics cards
companies like AMD and NVIDIA have also
heavily invested into developing chips
that they include with their newest
graphics cards that help take the
encoding process away from the CPU so
for those three reasons the guide is a
little outdated and I thought today I
would do a 2018 version. Now as with the
previous video, we will be going over the
key settings so things like which Twitch
server to stream to, what bitrate, what
framerate, what resolution, but we will be
using the OBS configuration wizard which
wasn't included when I made the last
video and that's going to help set up some
of our settings for us straightaway, so if
you're ready let's dive in!
So first things first, let's download and
install OBS studio by heading to the
website which I've included down in the
description below,
you'll just need to expand the
description to see it and I've also
included a link on-screen. Now once you
arrive at the website you need to choose
your operating system that you're going
to be installing for between Windows, Mac
or Linux. I'll be installing for Windows
but since OBS studio is multi-platform,
all the settings we cover in this video
are appropriate for the Mac and Linux
versions as well. Install the application
as you normally would and launch OBS
when installation has finished. When it
launches it should look something like
this. Now for those of you that are
completely new to OBS, this may look a
little bit hectic, but it's really just
made up of a few different sections.
Firstly up top this is the stream
preview, this shows exactly what OBS
studio is sending out over the Internet
to Twitch. Down in the bottom left you
have the scenes and sources sections.
Scenes are effectively just different
screens that you can switch to, to
display something different to your
viewers. Typically people will have
at least a game scene, a be right
back scene and maybe a starting soon
scene. Sources are individual elements
that you want to display in each scene,
so for example in our game scene we
might want to show the game, that's one
source, as well as the webcam, that's
another source and maybe a
recent subscriber and that's a third
source. In the middle at the bottom we
have the audio mixer, this is where we
can see and change the audio levels of
all the different audio sources. So for
example our desktop audio source or our
microphone source. To the right of that
we have the scene transitions which is
just basically a way of choosing how you
want the transition to show between two
scenes. Finally on the right in the
bottom you have some controls for
starting and stopping your stream or
recording, as well as getting into your
settings. Below that you also have some
little info panel showing you how long
you've been live for, how long you've
been recording for, as well as your CPU
usage and your frame rate. Before diving
straight into these settings and the
configuration wizard the first thing
that we want to do is set up our profile
and our scene collection. If you look up
at the top title bar here you will see
that we have profile untitled and scenes
untitled, and that is because we haven't
set up any profiles or scene collections
yet. OBS allows you to have
multiple different profiles each with
their own set of settings, which are
super useful if you are going to be
streaming to different accounts from
time to time. All we'll do here is we'll
rename the default one by going up to
profile and selecting rename. I'd
recommend naming this whatever your
channel name is and the streaming
platform, so it's easy to make sure you
have the right profile selected when
you're using OBS. So for me that's going
to be 'GamingCareers - Twitch' because
I'm going to be streaming using this
profile, my gaming careers Twitch
channel. OBS also allows you to have many
different scene collections each with
their own set of scenes and sources
inside. This is super useful if you're
going to be streaming different games
from time to time and you want to have a
different looking stream for each game.
Again we're just going to be selecting
scene collection, rename and rename it to
whatever makes sense for your stream. I'm
going to be naming mine 'Gaming Scenes'
because I also have collections for
podcasts and other shows that I do. Now
if we look back up at the top title bar
again you should see that we now have
our profile and scene selection set up
properly. In the previous video that I
recorded last year, at this point we had
to dive deep into the settings of OBS
and start testing our connection. Though
at some point in the last year, OBS added
the auto configuration wizard that aims
to test your computer and your internet
connection to Twitch or YouTube or
whatever platform you end up choosing,
with the aim of setting a lot of these
complex settings like bitrate, server
location, resolution and framerate for
you. Now although these settings that get
set may not be bang-on perfect they
certainly give you a very very good
starting point for your stream settings.
So to run the wizard we come up to tools
and select auto configuration wizard. A
new window will appear which will ask
you if you want to optimize your
settings for streaming with recording
being a secondary, or if you are just
optimizing for recording. Since this is
the ultimate guide to streaming with OBS,
I recommend that you guys choose the
first option and press next. The next
screen allows you to select your base
resolution or your canvas resolution and
your FPS preferences. Let's start with
the base resolution. This should be set
to the resolution that your game is
being run at, so if you're playing on a
1920x1080 monitor and you play your
game at that resolution also, then you
should select 1920x1080 here. It's
worth noting that this isn't necessarily
the same as the resolution that you will
eventually stream at, OBS may advise to
scale down your stream to something like
1280x720 but it's important to set it
here to what your monitor and more
importantly what your game resolution is.
Since my monitor is 1440p I will be
selecting that resolution here. The
second option is your frames per second
or FPS and that allows you to choose a
number of different options as to what
you'd like to stream at. You can select
some hard values like 30 and 60 or
there's also these other two preference
based options. The first one 'either 30 or
60 but prefers 60 when possible', this is
for people that want to prioritize
getting 60 frames per second over their
resolution. Whereas the 'either 60 or 30
but prefer higher resolution', this is for
people that want to prioritize getting a
higher resolution over the 60 frames per
second framerate. So which of these
options should you actually choose, well
that's completely up to you, do you want
the smoothest possible video or the
highest detailed resolution. For fast
paced games such as first-person
shooters or racing games, I would
recommend prioritizing 60 FPS, but feel
free to choose either option.
Just remember the OBS wizard will only
recommend 60 fps or the higher resolution
if it deems your computer and your
connection are good enough to be able to
handle it. Once you've decided you can
click next to move on to the stream
information step. This is where you're
going to be choosing which platform you
wish to stream to as well as entering
your stream key. Firstly stream type
allows you to choose if you are going to
be using a streaming service or if you
want to be using a custom streaming
server. Since we're streaming to
Twitch here I will be choosing streaming
service. Next we'll get a drop-down of
all the different current services that
OBS support, so Twitch, YouTube, Mixer,
Facebook are all in there and we're going
to be selecting Twitch. Next we need to
enter our stream key. So this is the
private key that we can get from our
Twitch account and it's the only thing
required by OBS to allow you to stream
to that Twitch account, so this is a
private key that should be kept private.
To get the key, you can click the little
link in OBS to open up your web browser
to the right page where the stream key
is shown. If you aren't already logged
into Twitch on your browser then you'll
obviously need to log in before you can
get your stream key. You can also always
access your stream key by going to the
Twitch website, then go into your
dashboard, clicking channel
under settings and then finally clicking
on your stream key. Twitch reiterates
that you shouldn't be sharing this key
with anybody else, obviously I'm going to
be showing my key here in this video but
there's also an option to reset your key
which I'll be clicking as soon as I
finish making this video. So last time I
did this, everyone was commenting you
know you said you couldn't show your key
and you showed your key, but obviously I
just reset it after I've made a video.
Select the whole stream key and copy it,
head back to OBS and then paste it into
the stream key box. The next two boxes
should usually be left checked. The first
one which is 'prefer Hardware encoding',
means that OBS will try and use the GPUs
dedicated encoder chip if it has one,
which is usually preferable as it frees
up your CPU which should in theory help
reduce stream issues. However hardware
encoding does also usually result in a
lower quality encoding for streaming. I
personally would recommend using the
hardware encoding if you can and leaving
this box checked, obviously if you're not
sure whether or not your graphics card
has the encoding chip, you can leave this
box checked and OBS will check for you,
but actually the ideal setup would be
for you to test both CPU encoding and
GPU encoding on your stream and seeing
which one you think makes better results
in terms of quality as well as in terms
of the system performance impact. The
second box which is 'estimate bitrate
with a bandwidth test', this just means
that OBS will perform a test to some
local Twitch service to try and find an
ideal bitrate that you can stream at.
Once you're happy you can click next and
OBS will begin to start performing its
configuration tests. What it is doing is
streaming some random data at various
different resolutions, bit rates and
frame rates to Twitch servers without
actually going live to try and work out
what your system and your connection is
capable of. This test is pretty quick,
takes less than a minute and when it is
complete you should get a window showing
the test results. Take a look at all the
different settings that OBS has
recommended, what resolution the output
stream will be at as well as what
bitrate and what FPS. Clicking 'Apply
Settings' will mean that OBS will then
apply these settings to the current
profile. I just want to reiterate
something and make it really clear that
this is OBS's estimate as to what the
ideal settings for your setup would be.
Most people at some point in their
streaming career are going to have to jump
into the settings window and change one
or more of these values
to keep things stable. All of these
settings that have been applied can be
found if you click the Settings button
here on the right and look in the
relevant tab. The stream tab is where
your streaming service and stream key are.
The output tab is where the video
bitrate, the encoder and the recording
options are, and finally the video tab is
where the output resolution and FPS
options are. There's also some tabs for
general, audio hotkeys and advanced for
you to have a look at if your heart so
desires.
The final thing we need to do before we
start streaming is to add a scene and a
source. Let's start by renaming this
default scene called 'scene', by
right-clicking it and choosing rename.
I'm going to call this scene game since
it's going to be the scene that has my
gameplay in. Next move across to the
sources panel and click the plus icon.
This shows all the different types of
sources that you can add to each scene.
Things like text, image overlays, webcams,
browser windows and all sorts of other
things. To keep things super simple for
this video we're just going to be
selecting game capture since we want to
start by capturing our game. Make sure
that you have your game running at the
same time as setting this up so that we
can make sure that it's captured
properly. Name it whatever you want, it
doesn't actually matter what you name it
but it helps to identify each source.
Once you're further on in setting
up your stream you have many
different sources in each scene, it's
going to really help if you have them
named properly. I'm actually going to be
leaving mine as game capture since this
is always going to be the source that
captures my game, no matter if I change
game. Once the game capture window has
opened, it gives you a number of
different options for its mode. If you
always play your games in full-screen
rather than something like windowed or
borderless, you should be able to leave
the mode on 'capture any fullscreen
application', this just means that OBS is
always going to find the full screen
application and choose to use that as
its source. However for some games that
doesn't always work or maybe you're
running your games in a window or a
borderless mode, in which case change the
mode to capture a specific window and
then select the correct window you want
to capture from the next drop-down.
Hopefully you should then see the screen
preview update with your captured game
and that is basically the very
beginnings of building your stream
layout and design. At this point I'd love
to recommend you watch my video on
adding more sources to OBS,
it covers adding games, webcams, overlays
and text as well as covering various
issues that
some game capture methods super from such
as the black screen bug. I've linked the
video down in the description once again,
but also you should be able to click a
little link in the top right corner. I
also have a whole playlist on how to do
various things on OBS, if you're new to
this channel it's definitely worth
subscribing and having a look around all
the cool things that we've learned how
to do for your OBS studio stream. Thanks
so much for watching and hopefully you
have enjoyed this 2018 version of how to
stream to Twitch. Another video that I'm
just going to recommend if you're having
any issues with your stream, I do have a
video on Twitch Inspector, which is a way
of being able to analyze what's going
wrong with your stream and helping
decide what settings to change, so
definitely check out that video. Again
down in the description if you're having
any issues. It's really interesting for
me how much easier this has become.
It's become so much easier to setup your
stream with things like the auto
configuration wizard and there's so much
more detailed information that Twitch is
actually giving out so it's nowhere near
as long of a setup process and hopefully
you've been able to follow along and
have something that you're happy with.
Finally I want to finish just by
thanking again my Patrons. They're
supporting the creation of these videos
for the whole of the Gaming Careers
community so I'd like to say a massive
thanks to these people here for

A Guide to Creative Flow · Getting into 'The Zone' · This Book Taught Me How - Duration: 16:59.
For me, getting into the zone is that moment where you kind of cease to exist
in your thinking self; you become whatever you're doing in that moment, and
whatever you're doing is all that you know. If you're drawing it's like there's
no you and the pen and the paper and 'the decision to put this here will result in
this', it all just comes together into a mutual relationship of all these
elements coming together and unfolding right in front of you. To put it simply,
the thing that sets it apart from any other normal drawing practice is that,
when you're in the zone there's no commentary, there's no more voice in your
head analyzing and making decisions and solving problems. When you're in the zone,
that voice stops- the concept of time stops- for however long, you're completely
suspended in just the act of creating. Not thinking, the movement of your hand
ebbs and flows naturally on the page and the marks you make seem to be making
themselves. It's like you're moving the pen as much as the pen is moving you. *mic drop?*
I'm painting a screenshot from Magnificent Seven by the way, and one of
you guys recommended it for its cinematography so I thought I would give
it a go. Definitely looks like a really good film. I thought I'd use this as an
opportunity to test out my landscape painting skills.
Being in the zone is such an incredible place to be and I've realized that it's
no different really to being in a state of meditation. The core concept of
meditation and mindfulness is to connect with the present moment and it's the
same here but instead of anchoring your thoughts on your breathing or your
physical self- your physical sensations- as you do with traditional meditation,
when you are entering the zone it's like we've unintentionally been meditating
the whole time, just focusing on the movement of our hand across the page or
just watching intently as art emerges on a page in front of you. And you might
have noticed recently that quite a few of my videos have shared this similar
tone of being present and mindful while creating; stepping out of the thinking
mind and into the being mind and focusing only on now. I've talked about
how it can help to notice and catch the negative thoughts of the inner critic
before they lead to discouragement and doubt, and also how being in the present
moment can just allow you to enjoy the process of making art regardless of the
end result just taking value in the journey, not just the destination so that
regardless of whether you make the biggest mistake you ever could, no art
practice could ever be seen as a failure.
And I can't pretend that I made this connection myself, of meditation and
being in the zone being pretty much the same thing, even though it does seem
quite obvious now. I've learned so much recently and really been able to change
my approach to creativity and art from what I've learnt from a book that- would
help if I had it to hand- one second-
This is mindfulness and the art of drawing by
Wendy Ann Greenaghl who is a writer and artist with 20 plus years of mindfulness
experience behind her, which she uses to teach people how to create freely,
conquer their inner critic, enjoy art and banish creative blocks. I got this
book as a late birthday present from my friend Linden and it's not big, it's not
wordy and overly complicated, it's quite a small book but it is so packed full of
inspiration and insight.
Also I like- and what I find that a lot of books like this lack is- that it's not
superficial or too out there and airy-fairy. It actually comes with a lot of
practical exercises, at least one or two for each point that the
author makes and so rather than just reading it in thinking 'that's a good
point' and then just moving on with your day, you're encouraged and guided-
sometimes even step-by-step, to take action and do something and put the
things that you've learned into action. You know, not just take the author's word
for it but actually experience it for yourself.
And getting into the zone is just one part of this book, it has so much to
learn in there because it's not just about the act of drawing. It teaches you
things that you can take into your daily life. So for example, there is a section
on self-portraits that goes into dealing with the scrutiny with which we look
ourselves and dealing with insecurities and self-judgment. It teaches you how to
look at the world through the eyes of an artist, see beauty and inspiration in the
most ordinary and everyday things and just travel through life with new
awareness to the things that are around you. Being able to travel through the
world with your eyes open rather than trapped in your head- which is what I
think most of us do most of the time. Just to give you a sense of what I'm talking about
I'll read a little bit just you can get an idea; 'Suddenly there are things to draw
everywhere. On our walk to work, red rose-hips droop on the tops of
straggling rose bushes in our neighbor's autumn gardens, on the bus the nobbled
nose of an old man or the thick shock of hair on a teenager's head leaves our
fingers itching for a notepad and pen. The gift of mindfulness- the gift of
awareness- is that in clearing our minds, pausing and coming into the present
moment, in simply being, we are offered the whole world and without all the
distractions of the thinking mind to get in the way ,we are able to open to it
more fully, more effortlessly than we ever have before...' And I'm not typically
into like far-out books that you know tell you to be 'one with your
truth' and 'open your heart to the universe'. There's one book in particular
that has come recommended a lot from a lot of people that I watch and listen to,
a self-help book that you really hear about a lot but I honestly- I'm not going
to name it- but I have never been so desperately underwhelmed by a book. I
just find that some of these things can be quite superficial because it's all
well and good to tell me that I need to change my life and these are the things
you need to do to change your life and how great your life will be once you've
changed it but you need to get into the nitty-gritty of how. For me anyway.
And the most valuable how that I learned in this book was how to get into
the zone. Although there are step-by-step instructions in here, it isn't a
step-by-step instructional book. It gives you the tools and information that you
might need to be able to take that forward into your own life and
translate it however it will work for you. So I'm just going to give you some
examples of how I've used it how I've interpreted it and how I fit it into my
art and creative process. So to start with, I have to set my intention. I have
to decide that I'm going to do a mindful drawing because not every drawing
practice is going to be a mindful one. There are times where I do have to be
more critical, if I'm doing studies for example. There are times where I
want to be open to the critical voice, the commentary and the questions I'm
gonna have to ask of myself while I'm doing a study, so I decide beforehand
that the first drawing practice of my day will be a mindful one. That way, no
matter how things go throughout the day creatively, I'll at least have that moment
to myself where I've been able to enjoy the process of creating art and I'll
have that always to look back on as a success for the day. Now the key thing
about the zone is just- to put it simply- keeping your attention on the process of
what you're doing. I don't know if that what's the simplest way to put it.
Basically, if you're thinking about what you are going to have for lunch later,
as I said in the inner critic video, notice it and being able to bring
yourself back to the present moment. So it's just you, your page, the pen, no
judgment, no commentary- good or bad- just an awareness of what's happening. And you
might find, especially at the beginning, that your mind wanders a lot. You might
find that every 10 seconds, you are realizing that you're not focusing on
what you're doing and having to bring yourself back into the present moment,
and that's fine -that's actually pretty good- because if you weren't being
mindful you wouldn't have been aware of the fact that your mind had wandered. So
it's just a case of making sure to try your best to notice the mind wandering
and bringing it back to centre. One really easy way to get a feel of having
your mind in the present moment is my
favorite practice in the book and that is to draw your hand with your eyes
closed. Which sounds a bit silly and maybe if your approach to art isn't to
explore and experiment and enjoy the ride, then maybe this isn't for you but
what I found when I tried this is that I really managed to connect with myself,
the feeling of my hand as it is in that moment, because you have to
feel it to draw it. And you're just letting that feeling almost like flow
through you onto the paper which you're also not looking at. You're just trusting
in yourself and the sensations and you're really focused on just those
things that you're doing you're focused on the feeling of your hand and the
movement of your other hand drawing.
And once you have an idea for how that feels, you can start drawing with your
eyes open and start not just seeing but really looking at what you're drawing.
And being able to hold that attention on what you're drawing and not get lost in
what you think it looks like or what you think it should look like, which I think
we all do a lot. When you are drawing from life and you realize that you
haven't even looked at what you're supposed to be drawing for like five
minutes because you've been caught up in creating the image of it that you think
it has. So I have turned my first drawing of the day almost into its own ritual. I
start by really carefully and intentionally choosing my tools, laying
them out and taking the time to reflect and really think about and feel grateful
for the things I have and the process behind them being made and each little
thing that goes into allowing me to create. Then I'll start a present, mindful
drawing practice and then I will finish off again with a reflection just a
moment to myself to thank myself for showing up, for getting something done
regardless of how it turned out, I have achieved something, and it's important to
recognize that every single time. All it really is is a positive, valuable time
with yourself and all it boils down to is focus. Focus leads to absorption
which leads to flow. And with that in mind, it doesn't really need to be any
more complicated than that. You don't have to follow a routine thinking;
'which part do I do next?'
It isn't a step-by-step path to a meditative state. Just keep it simple and
stay focused.
And with that in mind, you can really apply this mentality to all sorts of
things. If you're a writer you could be staying focused on the sensation of your
fingers on the keyboard or watching the cursor move and letters forming in its
wake, if you're a dancer, be present in the sensations of your body
moving and the cause of effect of this movement leading to sensations
over here.
To finish, there are six kind of truths of mindfulness that apply whether
you're meditating or drawing or writing. And the author in this book has adjusted
them slightly- these six kind of mantras have been around since I think
the book says like the 11th century, one of the leading mindfulness practitioners
I guess outlined these words - and the author has really loosely translated
those to fit in with drawing in mind. So instead of me going on about them, I
will just read them and they are; 'Let go of how you drew yesterday, let go of the
drawing you might do one day, really experience drawing as it is right now,
don't overthink it, don't force it, just relax, just draw.' So if you take anything
from this video, just let it be those six points. Write them down in the front page
of your sketchbook and remind yourself every day of those key things.
Let me know if this video is useful for you in any way, let me know if any of the
points resonated with you all and if you might be interested in adopting
mindfulness into your everyday life. I'll have a link below to this, it will
probably be an Amazon affiliate link which just means I will earn commission
if you do decide to buy it but obviously if you want to search for the book
independently you can do that; I will leave the title of it below. I might make
this a thing this 'this book taught me' make it a series. I am reading a lot more
at the moment and it would help to keep me accountable for my daily- daily??-
monthly drawing targets. So let me know if that's something you'd be interested
in. And if you like this kind of format of a long chatty video, I actually do
these every couple of weeks over on patreon but live so you get to chat and
we get to hang out while I'm doing it; you can ask questions, I also talk a
lot more about the process of my artwork and I talk about the things I am
listening to, reading, learning about, anything
I'm currently obsessed with...
'Vin Diesel as a Viking. Long hair, long beard. Father,
husband, warrior...'
Yeah if you are interested in that haven't have a look.
I'll have that link below. If it doesn't suit your fancy, that is fine. Otherwise,
thank you guys so much for watching and I will see you soon for the next video.
Bye!

[Honkai Impact 3rd] Myriad Abyss 26F at 67k° plus Mini-Guide Part 2 for V.Triumph - Duration: 5:17.
CC is added. Disable it if you're not interested on the mini-guide.
Hello everyone, welcome back for another mini-guide!
This will be a part 2 for my Valkyrie Triumph mini-guide.
If you haven't seen the part 1, the link is in the video description.
Part 1 is all about cancelling or preventing VT's QTE to trigger as well as the reason why you shouldn't use it.
Without further ado, let's get started. This mini-guide will be about attack rotations and a small gear talk when it comes to V.Triumph.
I'll start with my new attack rotation for DB-VR-VT team.
The reason why this gets an update is due to the availability of a new stigmata, Theresa Origins M.
Theresa Origins M is a free stigmata given from a previous event. It reduces weapon skill cooldown by 30%.
This stigmata is mandatory for Valkyrie Ranger on abyss. The better version is Siegfried M with -40% cooldown.
Pairing VR with Dimension Break is common for the extended freeze trick.
Casting Water Spirit Type-II's weapon skill followed by a switch to DB will create a freeze that lasts long thanks to the timelock provided by DB.
But now that Theresa Origins M can be used, this will let VR to quickly re-freeze the enemy much earlier so you can repeat the freeze+timelock combo w/o letting the enemy retaliate.
Yes, it simply means you can infinitely freeze the enemy as long as you can keep rotating the freeze and timelocks.
There is a catch though, for an enemy to take full duration of debuffs, they need to have 0 shields or simply, broken shields.
If you focus on the attack rotations too much and didn't notice the enemy shields, it might lead to a surprise attack so be very careful.
For example, a Honkai Crush with shields can end the freeze+timelock much earlier compared to the shieldless mobs.
And would attack you as soon as they are able to, and if you didn't notice it immediately, that can be fatal.
That's why if you noticed in this video, I always try to be cautious when attacking the debuffed enemies.
I would sometimes shorten my attacks to just 1-charged attack (2 swings) because the enemy might suddenly retaliate.
As for my full attack rotation, I now take advantage of Theresa Origins M.
As usual, start with VR's evasion skill to unleash a Blackhole. Followed by Type-II's weapon skill and then switching to DB for timelock.
I would then do a charged attack (2 swings) which is sometimes followed by another charged attack or just a normal tap to maximize the SP regen.
Now use Blade Field to extend the freeze debuff like how timelock extends debuffs. Followed by 2 charged attacks (4 swings).
Switch back to VR and do some normal taps to regenerate some SP. Once Type II can be used, cast it again and do 2-3 taps.
Switch to DB for timelock and this time you can use Tyr's weapon skill afterwards if you have the weapon for an extra burst.
FInally, switch back to VT to do 2 charged attacks again.
If you're confident that all enemies doesn't have shields, switch back to VR and freeze them again and restart the rotation.
That's the full attack rotation. If that's too long to remember, I'll post a summary in the pinned post below.
Now, unto the small gear talk.
There was a commenter on one of my other video, I'm referring to the 18F Myriad fail video.
This commenter said that Blood Dance is required for Himeko on Myriad.
I don't agree. The damage increase of Blood Dance and Balmung for a physical valk barely has any difference. Different application but both are strong enough.
The heal of Blood Dance is extremely negligible when it comes to Myriad and the only time I would agree that Blood Dance is better is when it comes to elemental Himeko valks.
Another thing this commenter said is that VR should be using a tank build. Basically a high HP pool build.
Again, I don't agree. It might work on lower temperatures but on high temperatures with really painful bleed, it just won't work, more so if it's Myriad.
Reason why is because having a high HP pool only decreases the effectiveness of heals and health packs.
What you need is good sustain in the form of either healing back the HP or mitigating the bleed damage from abyss.
This means that the best stigmata to drastically improve the survivability of the support, which is VR in this case is to use Lier Scarlet's 2-pc set effect.
A poorman's build would be to use Rowland T and Rinaldo B, the heals from these stigmatas would try to counter the bleed as much as possible.
Remember, increasing the max HP is simply just that, it has zero increase on your efficiency.
And that sums up this mini-guide! I hope you guys enjoyed~

PERSPECTIVE WILL GUIDE YOU IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION - Duration: 7:34.
As I keep continuing on about this Practical Resilience framework, now we're
on to the loss of the collision pillars, which is perspective and it's also my
favorite one! So, in this diagram, where I have spoken about adversity mindset and
gratitude, the main pillars, and then things start to converge so then we have
discipline and then obsession and we're up to perspective. So that is the
convergence between adversity and gratitude. Because as soon as we think it
is crazy there are so many times where I've got myself out of a rut and I've
used perspective to help me grow from reflecting back on certain situations
and it makes me realize that I actually don't have it that bad compared to a lot
of people in this world. One time in particular was when I had to run for 24
hours around a 400 meter track for a family that just lost their dad so shout
out to the Percival family! For the first event of last year the first big event,
dedicated this 24-hour run to this one family because they just lost their
dad, they lost a family figure, they lost a husband, they lost a source of income
and by giving back gotta run for 24 hours and whatever we can raise with
funds and awareness could go to this family to help them get by. I'm
running I'm running I'm flying I'm doing a lot of it with my blind friend, Damo and
we're just we're flying and then he has to end up having to go home and then I'm
back in. Everything went well to about 17 hours into the run and then BOOM it's
like getting hit with like a truck and it's like I've got like depression lever
again and I'm struggling to get by and it's taking me about two hours and I am
I end up having to walk for a bit because I just my legs are screwed I'm
just too tired I've just been going all day I've surpassed all my mental
glycogen, more than what I expected and even though it was flat compared to
races where we were in trails. I'm still quite knackered and I somehow get out of
this rut. And it's it comes back to this one this
one like moment of realization I go, "Tofe, you've only got seven more hours of
this pretty sure the family that you running for has lost like a family
figure and he's not coming back" so instantly it's like it like snapped me
out of it's like okay it's only for seven more hours I will get through this
and I always use perspective to get me through out of anything so I know for
any 100 miler or like this 214 mile I've got coming up well any race or any sort
of distance I have a training around a big one I always go "I'm pretty sure the
depression anxiety I went through all those years back is gonna make this so
much more easier" and it does! It's like almost a paradigm shift and I've
used it so many times that it seems to make and it's not even just with like
mental health struggles it's like a lot of events so I'm pretty sure the 24-hour
treadmill challenge is going to be hunting this and to make it a little
simpler it's like I'm pretty sure this 10k run is going to be easier than this
5k coming up but yeah this is when you get excited and you go and you can use
it to help you grow for example if you're in business and if you look at
someone like Elon Musk. He's the only guy alive in history that has three
companies that he started simultaneously he started about five or six in total
but he started three simultaneously Tesla, SpaceX, and Solar City and each of
those are worth a billion dollars in valuation so that's at least a billion
dollars in valuation now this was a few years ago now and has dramatically gone up.
If you grab that one billion times right there's three billion dollars so can I
start a company and have 1 million dollars in valuation one three
thousandth. Absolutely. It's the same comes down to Arnold Schwarzenegger. The
guy worked out 6 hours a day when he was training training for Mr. Olympia and if
he can train 6 hours a day surely I can train 1 hour and I look at like the top
ultra runners of the world if they can run hundreds of miles 300 miles at a
time it's like my idol Joe Desena, the guy ran the Vermont 100 miler,
the Badwater 135 - coined the toughest foot race in the world, and the Lake
Placid Ironman. He did this free wasn't 300 miles in one week and it's like hmm
surely I can do 100 K and that helps me deal with a lot by getting me out of
that rut and I've noticed that the poorest people in the world actually the
happiest or the most grateful I've traveled a lot and I've noticed in the
developing third-world countries, I remember was in the slums of Brazil I
came across a gentleman that was missing an arm and leg on but same side of his
body and invited me into his house and offered me food I'm like how is this guy
so poor and has nothing how is he offering me his stuff because he knows
what it feels like to have nothing and I don't think he wants to impede that and
anyone else so he's all about giving because he only cares about is food,
shelter, water, family. There's so many races I've done where you finish the
race and you go I don't care what food I have I just need food to replenish the
body. You don't care what car you have you just need a ride to get you home. And
you don't care about house you have as long there's a bed. And you're going to
pass that as soon as you hit that bed. There was even this one time where I
had to run for 70 mile my first experience running past 70 miles and it
was an event that had to go past midnight so you're running into the
night. Eight hours in heavily fatigued come across a bridge full of homeless
people and my first thought is that looks comfortable I think they were
sleeping a moldy thin cardboard boxes and my first thought is I wonder if they
can shoot over so I can have a quick snooze now that's pretty messed up to
think like a homeless person looks comfortable but I am just absolutely
grateful to have a bed and when you realize that people have had a pretty
badly it teaches you about empathy so perspective and empathy I almost have
a direct correlation. You go for myself who goes it when you do a marathon
or half marathon, 10k whatever the distance may be there's a time when
you're going to come across a mental block and you're using sheer will to get
out of it, and you're just in it you're in tunnel vision and you come across
someone you do come out of it miraculously whatever it takes to get
out but then you do come across someone else's going back through that as well
and your first thought is I always come across and it's like do you need a hand?
Do you need water? Do you need food? What do you need, man? and it's like empathy because
you were literally just in their shoes like no pun intended because it's a foot
race and I feel like I've noticed that for myself so I've learnt empathy and
perspective through endurance and that is what I had to talk about right now
because where this here I've spoken about all the core and the collision
pillars that it leads into the gold in the middle the practical resilience
which is the final the beauty the I'm going to wrap it up in that next video
and stay tuned please anyway have a great day guys and stay strong!

FYB-SG Bitcoin Exchange Guide - Duration: 14:32.
Hello and welcome to this tutorial.
Today we're going to walk through
how to use FYBSG.com, the online bitcoin exchange,
to buy and sell bitcoin.
In other words, how to trade.
This is FYBSG.com's homepage
So here you'll find any announcements,
And on the top of the page always is the navigating ribbon
which makes navigating and using the site
really simple and easy
To get started for the first time
you'll need to register an account.
You can click here or here
This would bring you to the registration page
where all you need is your email address
and then here you will make up a password
for your FYBSG account
I'm going to use my outlook account
and we're going to make up a password...
There are some rules - these are just standard rules
that you'll see almost everywhere now -
Password needs to be at least eight characters long,
cointain an upper case and a lower case character,
and a digit; it needs a number.
Just for your own security
passwords should not be the same as any other email password
or any other account password that you have.
Once we have the password typed in twice
you can go ahead and click submit.
After submitting, you will receive an email
with instruction on how to complete your registration.
Typically an email will just take a few minutes for your mailbox to receive.
If you havent gotten an email within 10 minutes,
do check your junkmail folder.
Let check our email...
...and there we have a verification email.
So what you want to do is
copy this verification code
and then click on the link.
That would bring us to the verification page
You'd type in your email address
and then paste in that verification code
and then click verify.
In order to access the full website,
we need to comply with MAS regulations, in which
FYBSG needs proof of our identity and our address.
We can submit those documents when we click on Verify Account.
You'll need to submit your name, NRIC or Passport number, Address, Contact number,
Date of birth, and Nationality.
You will also need to submit files or documents which verify this information.
Here you can click to choose the file from your computer
or you can actually drag and drop the file onto the button.
One file must be a photo ID
such as a scan or photo of your NRIC or passport
and the next document must show proof of your address.
This could be an official letter mailed to your address, with your name on it
such as a utility bill, a bank statement, or the back of your NRIC
if you are Singaporean or a PR.
The back of an employment pass is not sufficient
because it does not include your address.
You'll have to make sure that your
file sizes are 250 kilobytes or less
Or else the system will not accept them.
To resize an image, you can follow this quick tutorial.
So, we'll want to open our file with Microsoft paint.
We could also choose to open Microsoft paint first
And then choose our scanned NRIC file
from the file tab open command.
Use the Select tool to draw a rectangle around the IC image
and then click Crop.
This will get rid of all the white space around scanned IC.
FYBSG requires that documents be kept to a size of 250 kilobytes or less
so we'll probably need to resize the image so its a smaller file size.
To do this, click resize.
Make sure the resize by percentage option is selected,
and then type in the percentage amount your image will need to be resized by.
You'll see immediately that the image shrinks.
Save the file using SaveAs
and choose a different name such as "Front Smaller".
Use the same steps for the back of the IC.
Use the Select tool, draw around the card, and click crop,
Then click Resize, type in a number such as 75%,
hit Ok, and then SaveAs
And type a new name.
Make sure the file type chosen is JPEG.
Here we can see that our new file sizes are smaller than they used to be.
So I'm just going to drag and drop these files
Front and back, onto the buttons.
And then hit Submit.
Once you've submitted these items,
you just need to wait, typically just one business day
and the company will verify that you are indeed a real person
and then your account will be fully functional!
And you can start to buy and sell your own bitcoins.
Whenever you're logged in, you will see here your balance:
How much bitcoin you have and how much Sing Dollar you have
with the exchange which you can use to trade.
So when you're just starting out of course these will both read zero.
So to start buying bitcoin, you'll have to deposit Sing Dollar into our FYBSG account.
To start with, click into the Deposit page.
To deposit Sing Dollar, you'll just use the usual standard steps
that you use to transfer funds from one bank account to another
In this case, from your bank account
to FYBSG's company back account.
Here you will see FYBSG's bank account address and details, and -
- This is REALLY IMPORTANT -
- Your FYB Code.
This is your own, unique code that FYBSG uses to identify your account.
You MUST include your FYB Code with your deposit; Its the Only way that the company will know that it was you.
On the deposit page you'll find some helpful screenshots
of several of the most common banks'
fund transfer forms,
and where on those forms you should type
your own unique Code.
So this is usually in the "Comments" section,
Or in the "My Initials" section,
Or a "Description" section.
So Copy your FYB Code,
and log in to your internet banking
And make the fund transfer to FYBSG's bank account.
You HAVE to include your FYB Code with every deposit you make because
thats how FYBSG will know to credit Your account with Your deposit.
If you have bitcoin in your own wallet that you want to trade with,
You can deposit the bitcoin into this deposit address
which is unique to your account
and found on the deposit page.
Your bitcoin will be deposited to your account after three confirmations.
Singapore Dollar deposits take one business day.
After one business day or three confirmations,
You will see that your account balance would have increased by however much you deposited.
OK, so we've got Sing Dollar in our account, and now we want to start buying bitcoin with it.
We'll click into the Trade Page.
On the Trade page you will see a realtime chart of the price of bitcoin being bought and sold on the exchange.
The chart dates all the way back to when the exchange was founded in 2013.
you can click and drag to see previous dates
and you can also adjust some preferences here
For example instead of a weekly view, we can see an hourly view of all the transactions.
Below the trade chart you'll see the Order Form.
The Order Form begins by telling us how much available bitcoin we have in our account
and how much available Sing Dollar we have in our account.
It then goes on to ask us the quantity of bitcoin we would like to buy or sell,
and then at what price we want to make this transaction.
We either use the sell side of the form, or the buy side of the form.
The current market prices are shown in grey.
These are just a guide to help us gauge where we want to set our price at.
So let's say I want to buy bitcoin
and I've got this amount of Sing Dollar in my account.
If I wanted to buy all the bitcoin I could with my available Sing Dollars,
At this market price,
I would just have to click Buy All.
And the Order Form is automatically filled out
and we can see theres a breakdown here of
how much I would be spending and how much bitcoin I would be getting for that price.
Orders at the market rate are instant
However, if we were to set a lower price,
Then the order will become a Pending Order
and we would have to wait for the market to reach our price
before the order is filled.
Let's say I want to buy at $12001 (Singapore Dollars)
We can check in real time how much out transactions will cost us
This is really helpful so you can really hone in on how much bitcoin you want to buy or sell.
OK we're going to go with spending S$1000 Dollars,
at the price of S$12001 Singapore Dollars per bitcoin.
If we are happy with that we just click Buy BTC.
The page will refresh, and down below you'll see that
because my order was lower than the market rate, my order became a Pending Order.
So, I am waiting for it to be filled.
However, if I had used the market rate, the order would be filled instantly.
Here we see all kinds of other details: the Ticket Number, the price, the quantity ordered, the date and time created,
and here we have the option to cancel at any time before the transaction is filled.
We can check on our order in the Order Book.
The Order Book lists all the Buy and Sell orders that are currently pending on the exchange.
Each order is an actual order made by an actual person, hoping to sell or buy their bitcoins
at a price that they set themselves.
Because FYBSG is an online bitcoin Exchange, not just a bitcoin selling site,
You will be trading Sing Dollars and Bitcoin with real people-
with all the other users of the site who want to buy or sell.
So FYBSG is really an exchange market; it doesn't set any of the prices.
The market decides freely and purely what the price of bitcoin is and should be.
Buy Orders are listed highest price to lowest, and Sell Orders are listed lowest to highest.
And next to each order is the amount of bitcoin being put up for sale,
or being sought to be bought.
So we can go and find our order...
Here it is.
That means we'll have to wait for these orders to be filled
before its our turn.
This shows the buy orders in green and the sell orders in red.
When a buy order price matches a sell order price, then a sale is made
and depending on how much bitcoin was listed,
for that transaction,
the order may be completely filled, or it may be Partially Filled.
This means, if I'm looking to buy bitcoin,
a Partial Fill occurs when the seller who matches my price has put up less bitcoin than I was wanting to buy.
In that cases, the system would buy for me as much bitcoin that that seller had put up for sale,
and my order would be updated as Partially Filled
until another seller matches my price, and so on.
The same applies the other way around.
If I was selling bitcoin instead,
and a buyer matched my price but only wanted to buy less bitcoin than I had put up for sale,
they would buy the amount that they could, and I would have a Partially Filled Pending Order.
And I would await the next buyer, and so on.
We can check our past orders on the Order History page.
Here you'll have a summary of the various orders
that we've made, and cancelled, and
which are Partially Filled, etc.
We hope this tutorial has been useful
Follow these four steps and you'll be all set and
Ready to trade Bitcoin.
