Hello everyone,,
The first few times I played the game, everything was normal. But then for no discernible reason, I noticed at one point that there was barely any audio playing from my game. The only things I could hear were music and sounds produced by my character; anything coming from an NPC or the world was muted. At first I thought this might've been because my new headset didn't work well with the game for whatever reason, but I realized this wasn't the case when I tried playing with my original headphones, and nothing changed.

I've messed around with my computer's audio settings a bunch and I reinstalled the game several times. The in-game volume settings are at max, but it makes no difference. None of my audio drivers are out of date either.

Does anyone have any clue what this is?

For me, it's when you fight a boss fight, and clearly beat the damn thing, but in the cutscene that follows shows me losing horribly to it. It's a minor thing but it aggravates me. The main example I can think of is Astral Chain for the Nintendo Switch (absolutely 100% recommend to everyone.) Now, if you know a Platinum Games game, you know they aren't the easiest. And in this particular boss fight, you are thrown into it with barley any understanding of the mechanics of the game (especially the legions) and are expected to go up against this giant beast. When you finally beat the stupid thing, the cutscene that follows shows you staggering around weakly while the beast (that you had already defeated) starts to do a very strong attack that almost kills you. I just beat you! Why are you about to kill me!? I'm stronger than you! Why am I shown off the be so weak!? The kicker? The only reason you survive is because your team comes to rescue you and act all cool and take down the beast like it was nothing. Persona 5 does this too, but to a lesser and more bearable extent (also would recommend to anyone and everyone)

Just wanted to share this in case there is anyone else out there who is as stupid as I am.

So I have been playing dota for a long time now. Just under five thousand hours, and I have always been around 3k mmr. Which is fine by me, as I mostly just play for fun. I was messing around with a new hero in demo mode while my toast was cooking. Just hitting creeps and getting used to the timing of attack animations. My toast popped, and I brought it back to my desk to eat while I messed around.

In that moment, I thought "Man, I wish I could right click some creeps while I ate my toast" And that's when it hit me...
