Hey hey Raadec!

You were on last in about November. We had honestly thought you had moved on, it was a surprise to see you around today. The Wikia is much as we left it, I don't think I have done too much since you have gone. The biggest thing I can recall was the reworking of the Skills pages, meaning Circle Strafing and Rocket Jumping has been reworded and has new videos. Most of my activity hasn't been on the Wikia lately beyond the management of existing pages. So it is very much the same old.

Hahaha, yes, I finally decided to get Heretic done, I think you were around when I was talking about the stream but disappeared shortly thereafter, meaning that it was decided to continue without you. Would have been nice to have you there, I missed having ya here :(

The Heretic playthrough was the last playthrough I did on my old PC, I upgraded to a much more powerful system after that, which gave me more capabilities with rendering. Of course, I ended up taking quite a bit of time to set it all up, meaning that the beginning of the year was quite busy for me. I also got some more RAM which further improved my capabilities.

I did take a hit when March rolled around, my Internet is wireless and thus doesn't have the stability it used to have, which means things can be somewhat difficult to upload and stream. It was a massive issue back in March, but it has calmed down a lot since then, I have been able to stream with no problems and uploading doesn't take too long. Still I have some limitations which I definitely hope to fix by getting wired again in the near future.

I also started doing some more Let's Plays on my channel. Stronghold is a game from my childhood I decided to revisit and need to continue, The Elder Scrolls Arena is a game I decided to actually play through so I can say I have beaten it, and I decided to do a playthrough of Doom which ended up having two versions since the first had some bad issues since it was one of the first streams on my new computer.

Continuing to play with settings, I have improved my recent videos so that they are outputted at 1080px60 and have the best settings I can possibly have beyond an increase in resolution. I have also switched streaming services since the delay on Hitbox is a lot less noticeable than Twitch. So on the video end of things, there have been a lot of improvements lately, so many that I even plan on doing a remake Thief playthrough soon where I fix some major issues I have had since I started doing them. I even have time management better, meaning videos are coming out at a better rate than they were months ago.

Elder Scrolls Arena has been a long running series, but is getting slowly finished up, being only a few dungeons away from the end. I finished my main playthrough of Doom and have since done a stream showing some PWADs, plus I also squeeze in some extra videos when I have nothing else I need to render. Doom is therefore not something I do actively, yet do plenty of since it is easier than doing hour and forty minute render/uploads at times.

My main focus for upcoming improvements is a second monitor so I don't need to rely on my phone for messages anymore. Currently I often have to plan around battery life, meaning when it gets low I either have to charge it up while being limited in what I can see due to angles or otherwise just finish up when it gets low. I also type slower on my phone than on the computer, meaning replies are a lot harder for me. Just all around, the experience would be a lot easier with a second monitor, so I am planning to get a high quality 1440p 144hz monitor. I am actually working towards quite a few improvements, but that is the most relevant and probably the first I will be focusing on.

Needless to say, I had a very slow start to the year where I couldn't get much done, but now I am getting crazed with improvements and getting a lot more active on my channel. I believe after the whole Arena stream is finished up that I will be doing a stream of Vork's Doom levels. With over 30 PWADs covered and 50 Arena videos, most of my life has revolved around recording stuff from 1994.
