It has been a very long time since my last blog. The beginning of the year was a bit rough for me up through May I had constant sinus infections/colds/allergies it was a mess. I finally opted to get sinus surgery and I am able to breathe SO much better than before and when I am congested my face does not hurt as horribly as it did before. I am still not 100% recovered but at least 50%. I should be fully recovered by mid to end of July. At least I am able to breathe normally and sleep now.

In the meantime I have been playing tons of Otome Games on my Vita, I also played some Dragon Quest Heroes 2 (which I still have not completed yet because I cannot beat the last boss – I refuse to lower the difficulty too easy). I also started playing a TON of Elder Scrolls 3: Morrowind and actually not doing half bad in the game; considering I joined every faction/guild that I can with yet to pick a house to join.  I did also complete Cinderella Phenomenon off Steam (it is a free game) it is an Otome game that was very well made; I could not put it down.

As a gift to myself, I also finally purchased a capture card! It has been the best investment I have ever done. I am finally able to stream my console games! I recently started streaming Suikoden and kind of walking through the game as I play through it since I have this game memorized I have played it so much. My goal is to go through ALL the Suikoden series games that I am able to, Breath of Fire is another series I am planning to do and some other random games. I am looking into adding more days for streaming and looking into doing certain days for a game like Suikoden over the weekend, breath of fire Monday and Friday, random games Wednesday. I will say the only gripe I have about streaming where I am now is that I do not have a quiet space because of three dogs and people constantly coming in and out. I have thought about trying to stream from my room but it is a small room and it will over heat fast since I only have a ceiling fan and a tower fan to circulate the air with a closed door, especially in the summer it is not so fun. Therefore, I have to suck it up with the noise and just go on mute randomly a lot. I have lowered the input noise into my microphone to have it only pick me up or try to have it only pick me up. I still have a few kinks to work out with the Elgato streaming scenes such as adding twitch alerts. For some reason, the screen flashes a white box but I am not sure if it does, it while the preview is not displayed on the software; so that is something I need to check. However, I have figured out how to get Elgato to work in OBS (thank you YouTube video tutorials).

It has been hard to plan a schedule for the summer since my July is filled up three weekends out of the five and I am looking into joining a gym to exercise with a personal trainer and other group classes and such so I am waiting to determine what weekdays I can do for streaming.
