    Discord Participation

    While reviewing the recent Patreon adjustments, I realized that we probably have been overly restrictive on our Discord server. This is intended as an open forum for gaming related discussions, and visibility at the schedules and behind the scenes activities. There have always been a few links available for open invitations, but none really openly…

  • Updates

    Its been a while since I posted here, mainly due to the numerous channels I have been using recently. The YouTube content is steadily growing, which is very encouraging, and I have been posting most of my updates there in the YouTube Community sections (YouTube Community). Since the video content has been my focus recently,…

  • Mastodon

    Working on moving my social media presence over to a more consolidated Social Networking presence.

It makes it very easy to consolidate and pre-configure a great many things, and it is very compatible with my Zoom H6 audio recorder I use to capture all the audio. However, sometimes it is necessary to…

  • How to live stream your game – Audio

    If you watch many tutorials on video creation, one of the primary lessons you learn quickly is that audio makes or breaks your production.

  • How to live stream your game – gear, software and equipment

    The first part of any streaming setup is of course the gear and software necessary for the production and collection of footage and audio, and a means to broadcast or record. My philosophy, both due to budget limitations and practicality, has always been to do as much as possible with as little as possible. Many…
