On that Twitch grind

6

I'm settling into streaming pretty well. I'm not really finding an audience or building a community yet, but I'm getting better as I go. I think haha. I need a better microphone, I kind of want a green screen, and I still can't get my Elgato 4K to work with a 4K source. I exchanged the capture card once and it still has the same...

I wish I had your discipline. The only reason I managed recent weight loss was my inability to afford food other than ramen and coffee for the last year... I heard it had kind of cleared out around here from libris (don't know if you know her, but she's awesome). It's good to be back, I missed this place.
pokai:
@wolfwood1203 I'm not yet familiar with her, maybe I should be. Thanks for the compliment! I really do like this place and what it stands for. I know I could go write a blog on Tumblr or something, but I like the community that is attracted to this site. Even if it is constantly rotating people.

I got a new PC afterall! I opted for a pre-built. I upgraded the ram in the pre-built that I got. So I'm running I7-8700, GTX 1080 ti, 32GB DDR4. Everything is smooth as butter. I'm having a great time setting up all my streaming software and cam. I'm not finding an audience yet, but I'm not going full self-promotion until I get everything ironed...

Had a great Saturday! I am writing this post from my brand new computer! I'll make a separate blog about that soon enough. This id s blog about tonight though! I'll keep it short.

Went to Stand Up Live with 2 close friends. It was a great night. We had VIP tickets to see Chris D'Elia. It was completely worth it! We had a great...

Planning for the Future

First off, thanks to celebrating my best friend's birthday this past weekend I am not down any weight. However I'm not up any either! I'm getting ready to throw morning trips to the gym into my plans. Just waiting for mom's physical therapy schedule to settle down. Planning.

I finished Far Cry 5, but I've got some side missions left to mop up. Achievements to...

Hello everyone! I've been visiting the site regularly again and figured it was time to blog. My back feels great most days! I didn't really lose weight last year, but since February I've dropped 20lbs! Finally got to feeling good enough, driven enough to get back into the right habits. It is exciting.

I'm playing a lot of Rocket League and PUBG on Xbox in...

Back Surgery

I had microscopic lumbar surgery over a month ago. It hasn't been fun. I had been hurting over 6 months before having it. Happy to rid myself of that pain. I'm still on a lot of restrictions. In one week i get to begin physical therapy! On the road back to full speed! I'm excited. I've been spending a lot of time sitting in a...

This Year

2

I know it has been said over and over, but this has been probably the oddest year that I can remember in my life. So many people are hurting today. People are crushed. People are lashing out. People are gloating.

Here's hoping we can pump some positivity back into things. The world hasn't ended yet. We woke up today. We can breathe. We can think...

Tuesday Tilt: 214.5lbs. 2lb loss recorded for the week. I guess tightening up and becoming more rigid worked last week. I think I'll continue to try to be as strict. 46 more days to try to get this down to 200lb before weighing out. Been doing 30 minutes consistently on my stationary bike. Going to aim to bump it up to 35 before the week...

Started playing Split/Second yesterday, love it. Great arcade racer.

Going to go pick up my preorder of UFC 2010 in a little while.

Finally told a friend something about his girlfriend that I wasn't sure how to ask about. And apparently confirmed to him that she was, indeed, cheating on him. He then told me all about how the guy had caused a lot of...

I am horribly upset by the finale to Lost.

Weekend was kind of tame and lonely. Consisted largely of staying home and playing Red Dead Redemption.

I'm ready to watch CBS season finales tonight.

heartbaker:
How is that game so far?
pokai:
Its pretty awesome. I get distracted from doing missions because I just want to explore the map. Its a bit slow paced at times, but I like riding around the countryside hunting animals and helping strangers. So its my own fault for the pace.

Always love western movies and the game feels like being in one.
