I believe everyone will readily agree agree with me, that the ideas of the memory are more strong and lively than those of the fancy.

My trusty Xbox 360 controller died on me today at the very start of my stream. I was forced to use keyboard and mouse. All good practice.

Sometimes more bitterness can be sown in five minutes than can be got rid of in a whole lifetime.

Using my iPhone 7 as a webcam and using it as a source in OBS was a huge upgrade from my current webcam. Did a short stream to test and it worked really well. Just an on the phone was all it took.
