KZXcellent Overdue Update - December 2022
🕑 Added 2022-12-09 21:51:52 +0000 UTCHey! So sorry about no update in November, things have been rough around here so let's break down what's been going on.
So first up, the Birthday Subathon. That was a bit of a bust. We went for a long stretch that day and it was fun, however the timer app every subathon uses broke midway through. I learned my setup cannot sustain streams over 24 HR~ due to using wireless headphones to wire my sound. So ultimately, I had to cut the stream and make up the time by streaming a bunch, slipping in incentives where I could.
In the future if I wanna drum up subs we'll do it during a sane 12-hour stream event instead of jumping on Twitch trends that I'm not really equpped for.
Next up, we have the second rough event which was shortly after this, I got violently ill! It was a sickness that really screwed up my plans of covering stuff like Sonic/GoW immediately and forever my first playthrough of Sonic has me sounding dead inside.
This was immensely frustrating as I couldn't do the job I love or really interact with friends since most of my socializing is on streams so that was a big bust that I had to make up over the coming weeks.
Thirdly we have the recent rough event. So I decided to do a donation drive for a new PC. The current one I've been working with for years is showing its age, numerous headaches, tech issues and the like make it a ticking time bomb. I need something new. Thankfully you all were so supportive and nice and we hit our goal.
Unfortunately, the PC I settled on and bought came in with the GPU dead. It could not display anything. I tried slotting in my current GPU whch helped but showed a myriad of tech issues. I could not use it, and I have to begin returning it which is stressful as I have to wait for it to be picked up since I lack basic transportation.
Because this is something that was fan-funded and didn't work out (for now, weeks from now I'll be refunded and I'll try again) this makes me feel immense like guilt and shame since you guys worked to help me out and I currently have nothing to show for it. One of my worst days of the year in terms of stress and anxiety in a year that I can say confidently was the worst of my adult life.

Am I using this as a slight vent post? A little. But also opening up about the losses of the past 6 weeks to inform you guys about what's happening. Not letting it beat me though. While this all sucks ass I am not gonna let it get me down.
I plan on continuing my content, FINALLY getting back to doing a stream schedule which I ditched when I got sick as streams were no longer consistent and trying to stay positive.
As for the New PC incentives, this includes a Ratchet Marathon and a High on Life deathstream. I plan on doing those when my new PC gets in. The whole point was to fund a new setup and stream with it so me doing them while I'm waiting for that to be resolved with give me ego death but rest assured they will be done.
Anyway, at the time of writing I have literally no plans on upcoming streams. I'm gonna work it out this weekend probably. Check out recent vods of Banjo, DKR, The Game Awards and Forspoken if you've missed em. We've had some winners despite some losses on my side.
Anyway thanks for the support it helps me not crack when things get this difficult. I appreciate it.
