Queeeeeeg.....

8/26/2017

So new computer has arrived. The new computer is named Queeg, because I think it is funny. It is a Red Dwarf reference. I am a huge Red Dwarf fan. My old computer and my external hard drive are named Mr. Flibble. The things we do to amuse ourselves. Ah. Anyway, after a few days of wrestling with it, I think I am close to getting it to where I want to be. I stream Jackbox games on Periscope (@TeaWeaselStopMO). OBS apparently does not play well with Windows 10 pro. This frustrates me. By now, surely there are enough people on Windows 10 for long enough for issues to be less...issuey. I have also found my favorite first person shooter, Unreal Tournament, does not play well with Windows 10. I am less surprised about this, cause this game is..um...18 years old...I am guessing it wasn't made for newer hardware. I did download it through Steam, though, so you'd think the versions they are now selling would b e compliant. If I go in and choose OpenGL rather than Direct3D for graphics, it works but it is so dark it is hard to play. Can't see shit and keep walking into the lava. I finally got Jackbox to stream, though it took a while. I had to uninstall the newest version of OBS and install version 16. They are on 18. 18 and 17 both produced black pictures, and none of the fixes I found online worked. It may be my AMD graphics card. Most people go for Nvidia. I like Nvidia...my budget is AMD. (Side note: if you wanna help me pay for the new computer, there is a Tip button in the right column of this page. Feel free to use it. Does not require Paypal or anything, You just put your card number in and email, it sends you a validation code to your email and you are good. Run by Square.) Still, much much better than what I had. I played Viscera Cleanup Detail last night. I just could not get over how much detail was there that I was missing before. I was able to get a mop bucket from the Slosh 0 Matic on the first try. Amazing. And footprints from walking through blood appeared immediately. Usually on my old computer I would think I was done, go to another room to clean, come back and there would be footprints everywhere. I think I discovered why I could never get 100% on any map in that game.

Annnd...Dragonframe works! It opens and works. Whew. Now I need to learn how to use it. I know Pinnacle, so once I get that installed on this computer I will use it to finish the video for Anglicon. But I am looking forward to playing in it and finding out what it can do.

Also....I now have Audacity and Reaper installed, so when I can get rid of this congestion I will be playing around with recording. If I get anything worth while I will post it to Soundcloud and embed on my music page. The new digital piano can record and send files to a computer, so I plan on experimenting with that as soon as I can.

So much to do. I have classes to catch up on, videos to shoot, software to learn, music to record...I love it when I am busy. :) I also found a cheap treadmill on Amazon for around $100, so that should be coming soon. It is way too hot to walk outside right now, and the bus stop is way too far to walk in the heat to get to a gym. I frequently get what I call angsty anxious nervous, and I used to walk it off. When it is so hot, I can't do that. I am hoping with the treadmill I will be able to do that regardless. I found I have started feeling like I HAVE to wash my hands 20 times an hour, which is my default reaction to stress and anxiety. It isn't as bad when I can get out and walk, but as I haven't been able to I am finding I am running out of soap really quickly and my hands are really dry and cracked. The treadmill isn't top of the line or fancy, no bells an whistles, but it will do the job, hopefully...allow me to walk. I really don't need ALL the bells and whistles anyway. I mean, the calorie counter etc are all bogus and approximations anyway. They aren't accurate. I would have liked to get one with adjustable inclines that is programmable so I can go up and down hills, but this will do. It has a 2 inch incline. And if it has the added bonus of helping me lose the weight I have gained since being sedentary, all the better.

OK, with that TMI, I am off to work on stuff. Laters!
