BTS Update: ight we back Locked In! (Patreon)

Summary: I'm back, I'm black, and I'm about to drop a stack of uploads today and tomorrow. New setup is complete, recording to catch everyone up now!

Okay tag me back in coach! Once again I am SO Sorry for the detour in content, this was a trifecta of problems that all bullied me at the same time. But everything that caused the detour are all things that should help me be way more efficient in content. (Except for work... work still sucks everyday). This PC has been with me since starting content in like 2019! I can't lie it lived a looong life. I bought it off amazon prebuilt (one of the lowest costing ones) but because it was called a "gaming PC" I assumed it was strong to handle anything. I still don't fully know all PC parts and stuff but I'm aware that old PC had all basic lowest tier parts lol. So it's surprising it survived THIS many years because I lowkey abuse my PCs. It rarely gets turned off because when I'm done editing, it renders while I'm sleep or at work, then goes right back to editing, gaming, streaming. After buying this new PC I now realize how SLOW my old PC actually was. I went to click restart and instinctively grabbed my phone to waste time. I opened an app then looked back up confused because it was on the home screen, it already restarted! I then realized it's not normal my PC to take 6+ minutes to fully restart and be usable lol. I know it'll probably slow down as I use it more though but I'll try my best to keep this one clean. I've already tested editing software and recorded and can tell this PC runs things A LOT smoother so this is what will make this detour worth it. I even experimented with upping the quality of the double recording and it's still handling both just fine. As you can see with the picture it wasn't as simple as just unplugging and re plugging the new one. I know I was on a time crunch but I still got carried away with cleaning since I NEVER clean under or behind my desk. Un hooked all connected cords in the back and untangled everything, picked up the PC and wiped the desk, screens, wires, walls, accessories, and everything. And then vacuumed all the dust and stuff in that area. I knew once I pushed this desk back I wasn't going to go back under or behind the desk so let me make sure this is clean now. I heard it's bad to have the PC on the floor so the new one I put on the desk instead. Also just bought that wall calendar to keep track of what to record next, what needs to come on YT that day, what needs to come on Patreon that day, it's a lot to keep track of now lol. I was up till 1 am Monday doing this whole setup and cleaning because I knew I needed to record the next day. Went to work off 4 hours of sleep then went straight to recording last night till around 11pm. Didn't get much rest last night either but I plan to record more tonight to make up for the second half of the week and then get to editing to catch YouTube up. I feel the pressure but I realized I like moments like these where it's immense pressure, I feel like it's something that's challenging me and waiting to see me quit or take a break, that makes me fired up to prove to myself like "naah now I am gonna do this, just to show that I can." BOTH of these past weeks have been exhausting but I know if I keep pushing it should ease up by Sunday when I got time to really clean everything up. Then finally take a full rest Monday after work I got this. Don't worry about me, yall picked the right content creator when it comes to holding himself accountable, I think about yall everyday like "dang, they're still behind. I gotta lock in on work so I can get home sooner to get them ahead." These recent recordings coming out I'm actually EXHAUSTED but I think I'm good at setting that aside to be able to make a solid reaction, so I don't think yall will be too bummed of the exhausted content or even tell the difference of when I'm tired or not tbh. And Thanks to the detour of last weekend of me training an editor, my editor is able to still maintain VCF coming out on Friday while I was MIA dealing with PC problems, so that's a huge help. And overtime the editor should be able to get faster overtime to eventually be able to take over editing 2+ uploads a week which will really give me more time to do more. I really see the random puzzle pieces adding together like a picture is starting to form, that's why I'm pushing because I can see my efforts aren't for nothing something is happening now. Since this is Patreon I'd figure I share the whole story of why the delay was happening, I feel guilty everytime I do a "I'm on again break guys!" which is why I haven't told YouTube yet. I feel like it's just seen as I'm irresponsible and everyone is just like "oh here we go again". And the more I try to explain why I'm taking a break thhis time it sounds like I'm making excuses, so on YouTube I try to keep it short and say "I'll be back soon guys!" I'm trying to remove that image I've created of being inconsistent. I do need to make a post on Youtube though... Gonna have to do a lot of editing to catch them up. For now I'm focused on getting yall back on pace though so more uploads to come! But first, time to head to work... Thanks for reading!
