Streaming

I use OBS Studio and the computer streams fairly well, as long as it's not blue screening. I thought I got away with that issue, but it popped up again. I suspect I have a memory issue.

It also took me a week to figure out that Windows 10 had privacy settings that were preventing my microphone from working.

Coming from a gaming microphone, the MXL 770 is super sensitive. Even with the -10db switch on I am picking up the TV set in the living room. And it's not on very loud. The Behringer 502 USB mixer is pretty decent for the price.


I noticed that because its' a stereo microphone, if you speak to the left or right of it, the sound obviously follows. I have to buy a screen filter to protect my breath vapor and spit from destroying the sensitive microphone components.

I don't know what I expect to get out of it. Maybe some crappy video game streaming. I have no intention on becoming a regular twitch content producer. I don't profess to be the next Quattro Ace or Shroud on FPS.

My aim is potato, but sometimes I get lucky and manage a 1-shot miracle. I still have some audio bugs to work out; the levels are a little hot and I can literally pick up my cat's litter box scratching about 2 rooms over.
Bubbins, circa 2016 I think. Rocking the google tablet. She loved those 3-across games like Candy Crush. And those murder mystery games.

I'm using it as a distraction from my grief over losing Theresa almost 6 months ago. September 9th was when she passed, a date I will never forget.

I was fast-flipping through my cloud photos and I came across her last living photos from the hospital room. So sensitive, I had hidden them on my iphone. I wish Windows 10 could do that. Instant tears and memories.


Had Theresa still been alive today, I would have been intensely worried about the Covid-19 virus coming near her. It would have certainly killed her, with her weakened immune system.

Even through all that she worried about me constantly. Just like I worried about her. I guess we were two peas in a pod.

And now I move forward. I've given the vast majority of my weed to my friend Donovin. I'm going to be quitting soon. I didn't really use much, but thought I would give it a break for a little while.

I'm going to sign up on a dating app soon. I have no idea what I will find out there, but you can't succeed if you don't try.
