Taking a Break

Posted on March 9, 2025

I decied to take a small break from streaming and youtube.

The reason isnt what you are thinking about. I am healthly and mentally fine (for the moment at least). It is just my living situation for everything.

Back in ~2018, I lost my job and I had to decide on two choices. Either I keep my aprtment but sell my car OR keep my car and move in with some family that will not charge rent. At least in the traditional sense of rent. I live in a rual-ish part of america. That means we do not have relatable public transits or walkable cities. I made the rough choice of keeping my afforable and relatable car and move in with other people. Not really the best, but considering everything else better of the two evils. It has been over 7 years and i have finally gotten to the point where I am not living paycheck to paycheck as much and can save more money. Thanks to that I can afford to buy a house. Well at least saving to get my own place. Unfortunately, I don't have the energy to juggle working a full time job, having a social life, AND streaming in my current living situation.

I have planned it out and I should be back to streaming within the next 6-8 months if everything goes well. and let's face it, I wasn't doing anything crazy. Mediocore content. But I am going to put all some of the blame on me not having the energy that streaming needs since my mind was in 5 different spaces. I will continue up with this blog when I can or when there is important life things happening. and work on things on the backend of obs so when I do come back, it will look and sound awesome. Just give me some time to adjust things.

while i am taking a small break from everything, doesn't mean i am going to stop being an idiot and make bad jokes

This isn't a goodbye. More like a see you later

Wild Week

Posted on February 15, 2025

I thought a lot happened last update

Let's start with the basic then get to the wild one

I have a pretty good collection of games, books, mangas, and other things. With that I have to know what I already own and keep a track of that. If you know anything about me, it is near impossable to track all ~540 volumes of manga and the ~300 games to stay in my head. I have several copies of different mangas and games. That is why I have a Google Docs sheet with all that so I can keep track of it all. and even with that, I still grab copies cause I may have it listed as something else. For example, Final Fantasy X. If I list it as "Final Fantasy 10" and when I search the document for "Final Fantasy X" and it doesnt show I assume I don't own it. Thanks to that, I owned at least 3 copies of Final Fantsy X & X-2. Each. 3 FFX and 3 FFX-2.....Yeah I had a problem at one point

Just had to give you a bit of a good ol backstory so you can understand the pain.

I accidentally deleted those documents. and I don't have any back-ups to them anywhere. I was cleaning out my Google Drive data and I just clicked "delete forever" without looking at what I was deleteing. :).

At one point I even had a pretty good excel sheet going on for the manga that included when I bought it, how much i paid, the author & artist. I put so much work into it just for it to go away. So I have to dedicate a full day to reorganizing and recreating those documents. It isnt going to be THAT hard, just kinda mind-numbing and tedious. And It will help out a lot in fact casue it gets me a chance to organzie it all again. Cause I'll keep it a buck50, The orginal list was not in a good shape. I didn't have the correct infomation, volumes were missing, games were mislabeled. It was a blessing disguised as a curse really.

Now let's get into the real painful event

I broke my phone. Well at least the front screen of it.

My car headlight was out and needed to be replaced. I was putting everything back together and collecting all the parts that was on the pad I was using to move them to the roof of my car so I didn't break anything. I was doing my double check at the roof and saw my tools and hat and just ASSUMED my phone was up there as well. I forgot that I had a video of how to change the headlight itself and with the phone being black ON TOP of the black plastic that was on my car I didn't see it at all. Slammed the hood and walked to collect my tools and noticed my phone wasn't there. I thought "I must have thrown it in the cab".0 Straight huffing that street level copium. Check out the cab and nothing. Check where my tools where and still nothing. Well there is only one more place to check. Reopened the hood and there was my phone. I did a number on it. All that media is completely lost and I can't easily get it back at all. At least I got a brand new phone out of this event.

It's been a week of first world problems really. but it was damn good because we saw the public execution of drake. DAMN that was a good half-time show. and trying to explain the beef to my housemates was crazy.

I am going to pull a Hailey Welch and say later. till next time you fucking cucks

🖥Woes

Posted on: February 5, 2025

Wow, a lot of things have happened today

I mean they don't really matter all that much. It is just a lot of mindnumbing things

Let's start off with the first thing I saw. I was looking at Youtube this morning as I killing time before I headed into my work and I saw this. "What the fuck? Why did RT upload a new video" I thought. Come to find out that the beast isnt dead. Seems like Burnie Burns bought Rooster Teeth from WB and is now back in control of it. Don't believe meHere straight from the mouth Now As much as I like and am glad that RT is back this is either going to be like the return of G4 or even better then before. Only time will tell I guess.

Now on to personal woes I guess. I am trying to update this dead program that I use to create D&D characters that I will never get a chance to play. It is called Aurora. As of now, it is being supported by the community and it seems to be a pretty active community from the looks of it. Sad thing is, I do not know how to access the spiecal files that Aurora uses well that is making me get angry. on top of that I've been trying to update my Shield to use this laucher, but it never takes. So it is just a bunch of tech issues on top of each other. You would think that it is a simple drag and drop type deal, but I can't get it to work. Could just be a me issue but I mean come on, let me have one easy fix today.

In other news, I did start wacthing Crital Role again. As much as I digged the guests episodes i kinda dropped off when they happend. I got though most of them, but near the end I kinda feel off. But after a few slow days at work, I am finally over those epoisdes and the gang has been reunited. Hopfully I can get though the rest within a good amount of time.

My game night with friends has kinda been canceld so I am just going to play games or wacth twitch for the rest of the night. I should exactally work on the site more but I kinda wanna be lazy and do nothing. Later.

🖥Well this is it!

Welcome to the first ever blog by me! I'm super excited to start sharing my thoughts and experiences here.

You would thought I would had a blog back in the bay, but sadly didn't have access to the internet for a while back then.

I am still trying to figure out what exactly I need to do with this so it's going to be bare for a bit. I need to grind out on forcus on relearning how to code in html.

I will try my best to update the blog at least once a week for now.

I also need to work on some OBS thigns because my install of OBS is broken. :( I do not want to recode everything in streamer bot because that was a pain

I forgot to mention this, I ordered the Trigun deluxe edtion because it was on sale. Shit is going to be poggers

Now that I have that, just gotta finish collecting the Berserk Deluxe & Trigun Deluxe, get started on the Hellsing Deluxe and the Vinland Saga Deluxe. My bank account is going to be hurting
