Many Hours spents on PLP (and other upgrades)




Since I've been working Heavily with Industry recently I've had the opportunity to pushed my Studio network a bit further. Aside from the Enterprise stuff which I can't talk about,  I'm doing the home networks for employees and bosses on the side. So Its a bit refreshing to get back into commercial set ups which I love. 

I've procured and install various networks that interconnect with sorts of gaming systems. In my case just a week after I had installed my UPS" a brownout occur in the middle of a pvp match (shame I didn't capture it while streaming), but it made me push even further.  To also get a separate router instead of relying on my previous all-in-one I ordered.

Just a simple call with Shaw Cable (Gateway assistance) and in no even 5 minutes I was able to convert the box to bridge mode so I could run DHCP from my dual core, dual frequency IEEE AC router that I bought to save my modem from getting roosted, remove some local logic conjestion, increase the range and strength to the extender, and actually have a solo Router ready to plug into a Fibre Modem when they have Fibre to the home ready.

I had to tidy my cabinet as part of Spring Cleaning anyways.

Somehow in my work conversations I Stumbled upon  rotating monitors to portrait mode. 
then it stuck me. my Nividia surround was no perfect. I was wasting mouse moments and my eyes were doing too much work when compared to PLP surround.

 I did the WHOLE can of Worms to get it to kinda work. I can't move my mouse to sides using this SoftTH program, Radeon supports this natively so I'll just wait on NIvidia to catch up.

But this is like when surround first came out, its exciting and pushing the limits. But i'm just one guy and I know when to let go. the reason I still going through this route is because I've using a POV headset that i made look sort of Lacutis of BORG and when everyone starts to use VR I want to provide the content from my controller view. 

This will probably be it for infrastructure unless we get mass subsidies to install solar panels, and wind turbines. I'll still waiting for the Market to crash rock bottom so i can buy a house to build equality with after all. 

On the Gaming front Diablo 3 Finally fully redeemed itself in my eyes with season 5 It was actually fun to go at my own pace and explore and do things. on pc. I played it on Console as well at my cousins' and it was fun in it own different way.

Guild Wars 2 is in domant mode for me I'll finish off my Eternity, and then just play for the season 3 story when it comes out, its causal in and out at best. 

Starcraft 1 was fully re-worked using the sc2 engine and its beautiful. That modders got all the audio files and everything back in 2013 and i never heard about it till now. I'll of course get legacy of the void when it goes to 20, But there is something special i want to try.

Overall I have zero time for streaming cause of everything I've been doing. and my personal to do list is pileling up, but I've priorities these infrastructures projects to at least make my life easier
