Articles tagged with "streaming"

I am back, and I’ve made a large number of changes and updates to the blog. I wanted to quickly go over the changes and what you can expect to see in terms of content on this site moving forward. First and foremost, you will notice that we have a new look. The old style was fine, it was very simple, and I wanted to keep the same vibe, but have it be a bit more pleasing to the eye. Secondly, I’ve added support for webmentions. This allows better cross-linking with other content creators we link to, and who link to us. This will help create a more connected, platform-agnostic internet. I highly recommend looking into it. I’ve also added more standard features for a blog: you can share links to social media from each article, and there’s a tagging system to make finding related articles easier

It’s been a few weeks since I last streamed on any of the platforms where I create content. The reason for this is that I’m currently playing Starfield, and Starfield does not run optimally on my PC. However, I am prioritizing playing it despite these issues. As many of you already know, content creation is not my primary source of income; as a result, I can prioritize games I want to play over those I can stream. I’ve encountered two major issues with Starfield since its release. The first is that it causes my graphics card drivers to timeout. Consequently, if I were to stream the game, I would constantly crash in the middle of the stream, resulting in a poor experience for viewers. This is particularly concerning because, supposedly, Starfield was optimized for AMD cards, and I have an AMD card. The second issue is that, for some reason, when I attempted to stream Starfield, it maxed out my CPU, causing dropped frames. Unfortunately, Starfield, while playable, is not suitable for streaming. Despite these issues, I am enjoying the game. I’ve already invested about 50 hours into it, and it’s a solid, enjoyable game. I plan to continue playing it a bit more, but I’m also eager to get back to streaming.
