Yeah something is off there, thats the only thing I have to double check to get some good streaming.
Sorry to hear, thats frustrating. Might be an obscure problem with the way the router model operates, definitely have improved latency on my newer one.
I know you've probably heard 100 times. But you are using the 5ghz band of your wifi right? Much faster for stuff like this and basically essential

This being said, I'm at the stage where I'm just cold emailing old coworkers and random local ad agencies that aren't even hiring, so if you are in need of any of the many things I have learned how to do over the years, holler at ya boi.
AAA studios don't even email me back, no matter hard I hurl myself at the brick wall lol.

I've barely been staying afloat at all out here but it's ONLY because I've been able to work with a handful of wonderful like-minded people on some smaller teams.
I also mentioned that the only reason I have had anything resembling stable work in the past few years is that I never cracked into AAA and I've managed to only work with people who care first and foremost about sustainability. And who actually enjoy the craft of making games. THIS SHIT MATTERS!

I don’t know how many times I’ve watched this video.

I don’t know how we’ve gotten to the point where men in full balaclavas can abduct daycare teachers while they’re watching children.

But I do know that this isn’t sustainable. Abolish ICE. There is no way to reform this.

I’ve been troubleshooting voice chat with Kayla for an hour because I can’t hear her in our PS5 Arc Raiders party.

She JUST now thought to tell me that years ago, she cut the microphone off of her headset with scissors because she doesn’t use it.

I knew it would take less than a day for a tiktok dj to make something.
Yo so freaky for one of my random local spots to suddenly appear in this misc b-roll. I recognized those chairs and those tracks instantly and its not an unobscure location...I might not have recognized it if I didnt just go to that hotel for dinner in the first time for years...serendipity aye

I interviewed with 20 studios in 2023 before finally finding a home at CDPR. Studios closed, projects got canceled, devs got laid off. As of today, only 1 of those roles remains. It's a wild time in the games industry

It’s clear who the aggressors are. Keep remaining nonviolent, and record EVERYTHING. All of these masked ICE thugs will be held accountable.
Ask him about Tallahassee
The nuggets helped pay for the Dan and Jan trip, how cool
Woah so cool to see you were a Smite VA! I worked on that game for awhile. Degree of separation from Skeleton Ribs guy!
Legacy Collection also refers to the Giant Bomb part of the equation and thats nice
Haha. Me, thinking of all the birds I've edited out of recordings only to slap dozens of birds right back on it
Does it help to add Alan Wake through Steam and launch it from there?

It should go without saying that these mass internment camps will be much, much more expensive to operate than just giving the homeless free or subsidized housing would be.
Under Trump, the draconian future of homelessness policy is coming into focus: mass internment. Utah is building a 16-acre site to detain up to 1,300 homeless people inside locked "accountability centers." This is profoundly alarming.

Vital reporting from @ellenbarry.bsky.social and Jason DeParle:
In Utah, Trump’s Vision for Homelessness Begins to Take Shape

Like I always said, if youre fighting against wage increases, youre just asking to pay for social programs instead.
While the top 1% control $54 TRILLION

You probably know this but, Is it that her open enrollment ends on the 31st? Or the Life Event of getting married only allows you until the 31st to join?

If its the first option, that timeline may be longer because you had a "Life Event" and allows switching outside of Open Enrollment

This video from Portland is a metaphor for what is going on in America. ICE trying so hard to get Americans to cross a line and if they don't, dragging them across the line and violently attacking.
Restarting Alan Wake II and phew that intro is stylish
Incident in a Ghost Land was a big sleeper for me
