Way back before I had kids, I started streaming – I even did it on a fairly regular basis! Then life happened, and the years passed by. I haven’t streamed on any sort of reliable schedule for almost 8 years (coincides with the age of my oldest, gasp). I’m hoping to change that, and I’ve said this MANY times before and it has never actually stuck, but that doesn’t stop me from trying (again, and again).
I’m aiming for 3 days a week, following a Friday/Saturday/Sunday schedule. I’m looking at a time of 8pm-11pm EST (I’m actually Atlantic, so this would be 9pm-12am for me) or MAYBE some early morning streams (we’re talking 4am-6am EST). Those are the times I’ve got ‘free’ in my day. I’m planning on doing variety streams with no static game set (that could change) and sticking to my ‘comfort’ games (my comfort may not equal yours, and that’s OK too) like EVE Online, Wurm Online, World of Warcraft, Euro Truck Sim, and other games like these.
I’m hoping I can hold myself accountable because this is something that I’ve wanted to do for a while now, but time is always an issue. I don’t see that changing any time soon, so we’ll see how it goes. In any case, it should be good cozy fun. One of the more annoying parts is just setting everything up. Sure, there’s OBS, there’s my stream deck, digging out the microphone I have, making sure my computer can run everything – and then there’s also the fact that I want to stream Eve, and snipes are a thing and I have to be mindful of any chat on display so a large portion of my screen is blurred (per the screenshot above). It won’t completely prevent folks from dropping in on me, but I am hoping it should help a little bit.
Anyway. I haven’t decided which week I’ll be starting my stream attempts on yet – so check my twitch page if you’d like to be notified.
Happy gaming, no matter where you find yourself!
