WHY?!
WHY…WHY ARE THERE STAIRS?! Good luck deciphering whatever the absolute hecc you’re about to read. However, I am here to rant. This blog post will probably be a demonstration for what it looks like to slowly devolve into insanity
Linly’s blog
I’m inconsistent enough as is to try and stream daily then when I get home 3 days ago from the errands I had to attend. My internet starts acting up, randomly dying for long enough to get you out of a competitive online game but not long enough where it’s gone all day. Super annoying and inconvenient. Had me actually crashing out a few times because LITERALLY it would be working all day but the second I fire up a competitive game it’s adios like REALLY?! I didn’t need that man.
What happened
I think it all started when I was playing Marvel Rivals with THE BOYS one night. That night I ended up staying up past 6am gaming, but it doesn’t end there. I struggle to fall asleep as is and after the awesome gaming session I went to bed. Could not sleep and that spiralled into a complete 180 degree turn.
What even is LaTeX
No. It is not the clothing material or the silicon stuff. LaTeX (yes spelt like that) is a typesetting software that- BORING right?! Ok so LaTeX is kind of a hybrid between HTML and your favourite (or least favourite) programming language. What does that mean? Well it means it allows you to write fancy documents (for HTML that’s webpages) in a certain structure but for LaTeX the fancy documents can be anything from a research paper to a book of any kind. Yes I wrote a book and a couple of reports using it, I know what I’m talking about (mostly).
The problem with Restream.io
Restream.io is a multistreaming service that offers a generous free tier with 2 destinations and a chat widget for the platforms. It means you can monitor chat way easier. But if you’re normal and not like me you probably use windows and there’s plenty of solutions that already do that better like AxelChat, StreamLabs’ Ground Control and others I forgot about probably heh. MY PROBLEM with RESTREAM IS with youtube it puts a little self plug for themselves in the top of the description which is completely fair, you can also just straight up remove it which is what I did for every other multistream I did. It’s okay it might work for you but I didn’t enjoy it and frankly some of their website UI is misleading to where it shows a watermark in the preview but it doesn’t have a watermark if you’re streaming from something like OBS. Just a little thing I didn’t like.
I won
A temporary victory is still a win, I remembered to blog heh… Got myself a hearty breakfast (it’s the same breakfast I have every day).
Useless Setup Changes
Every once in a while I just adjust, and or move things around in my setup for no reason aside from “this feels more comfy” and today I replaced my background “brown screen” blanket with another and adjusted the way it was hanging. It is still scuffed but will probably look better now (it makes no difference)
Intro
Recently I’ve had my sleep scheduled flipped and it has also flipped how I feel about things. Lack of motivation and what not. Oversleeping really does seem to just destroy my motivation to do anything. However, I am hoping to end this slump today, if I make another post tomorrow will be the indicator if I did win or not.
