I use a Blue Yeti microphone and I have the gain turned all the way down yet everytime I inhale or exhale through my nose it's fairly audible. Is there some way of stopping this? Do I need a better pop filter? Do I need a better breathing technique? I'm not sure what to do. I've gotten no complaints about it on my videos but it slightly annoys me when I listen to my recordings.

Sounds like you need to back off the mic and breathe through your nose, not your mouth.

You can also easily edit it out, provided you have separate audio tracks for voice and game sounds. Audacity makes it easy.

If everything you try to do fails to fix this, you could make a joke out of it, like every time you breathe, you show some text saying something like *breathe* or something.

I actually have the same issue, but it's not terrible for me even without editing, so when I do edit it ... it's even less noticeable.

That's the great thing about recording your mic audio separate. Can fix just about anything and sometimes maybe even cut out entire parts that you may not like and replace them. Never done that myself ... but you can do it.
