I’m Really Getting Frustrated

I really hate not having my model to look at when I’m streaming. I know I shouldn’t be so reliant on it but damn it made things easier. *sigh* I wish Throne was faster about getting everything and sending me the item that got crowdfunded.

Short entry today, I’m just… mad. It’s no ones fault but my own for not taking care of my current iPhone. I will do better with the new one you all generously chipped in for. Love you. -Tan ?

Final Fantasy XIV Online has Weird Audio

Hey there Cuties, so I felt obligated to share this little adventure with you all. The other day while doing my tribal quests for the fae, and leveling Sage my audio abruptly cut out, but only in game. Everything else was working. Music, other games, all fine. Just Final Fantasy.

So of course I start looking up fixes. Check it’s not muted in game. Check it’s listed in the Windows audio mixer (it was). Make sure you have your device plugged in, etc etc. Like – ok I get people need the help, but genuinely I could not find a solution to my issue.

One thing to try was fullscreening then windowing the app. What?! How badly optimized is this game that refreshing the render queue like that will literally FIX AUDIO issues? ffs.. I was doomed.

I’d tried uninstalling/reinstalling and spent HOURS on this. I was about to just give up. Last thing I hadn’t actually tried yet was to re-load audio drivers. Fine, I thought, lets make sure to cover all the bases. So I went into the Sound Properties in Windows of the sound device, and do you know what I found?

You know how some sound cards or motherboards have sound effects you can enable like.. echo? Or Bass+ or Headphone Room Emulation, like Hall or Studio, things like that? This graphic is what was present on my sound driver. Just this one checkbox dedicated to disabling all sound effects – of which there were none to actually select. It was checked. I un-checked it and FF started playing audio again.

. . .

So anyway that was my Friday night, how was yours? Love your faces!! -Tan ?

I’m just tired af lately…

Hey, Cuties! I just wanted to let you know if I’m taking time off or starting at weird times – my body is just.. not cooperating lately. I’m super tired and sleeping a lot. Dunno if I caught something or not but I can still smell and taste so.. not sure what’s up.

Short blog, like I said, I’m beat. I love all your faces, thank you everyone for the support so far this year. ? -Tan

I’m Beside Myself with Joy!

So I put out a distress beacon yesterday – my iPhone X that I use to VTube with (because it has the FaceID chip in it) is bulging, meaning the battery is ready to freakin explode.

I bought it in July 2021. It’s last a year and a half just being my VTubing camera. And of course I’ve dropped it multiple times, and not ever had it off the charger. I will be better about the new phone.

Oh right, new phone. I put out that distress call and YOU ALL ANSWERED WITHIN 24 HOURS WTF!!

I am literally in tears (happy ones). Thank you all so much. I don’t have any way to repay you other than to just.. get back to streaming with the model as soon as it arrives. I can’t wait. Love all your faces. – Tan ?

Back to Work… ugh

I need to retire. LOL! I’ve still got a number of years I need to work before I can safely retire, you know, unless one of you is an oil baron and wants to just shower me with money. XD

That aside, it’s always rough getting back into the ‘normal’ swing of things after the holidays. I truly think we aren’t meant to work every day like we do. I wish streaming and creating content is all I had to do all day. I love doing it. It’s literally my creative passion! Ah well, such is life right now I guess.

Quick update about the December 2022 Clip Contest – I’m broke. Starting this year (which includes this contest) and going forward I have to give prizes I can afford, so I apologize if there’s any hurt feelings. Plus, giving out Amazon Gift Cards is a giant pain in the keister. Streamloots is much simpler. I hope you will all continue clipping, it helps me out greatly!!

Anyway that’s all I’ve got for you today – love your faces!! – Tan ?

Reacclimating Apparently isn’t a Word?

I was trying to think of a word to describe trying to get my sleep schedule back on track since I’m back to work tomorrow, holidays are over and it’s time to act like a responsible adult again.

Apparently ‘reacclimating’ either isn’t one, or it’s not recognized by Word Press. Well whatever, it makes an interesting title.

So yeah, time to say goodbye to sleeping whenever I want (never if possible) doing whatever I want (sleeping whenever I want) and all that fun stuff. I’ve been talking to my mom more on Sundays again so that’s good. Helps keep me grounded I guess.

I have *GOT* to lose weight. I’m going to try only having liquid today. If I feel like I can do that (because I have in the past) then I’m going on a not-juice cleanse. I need it so badly. So – last time I did liquid only I had all 4 wisdom teeth removed and had my mouth wired shut for a couple weeks. Lost 20 lbs. Gonna try that again lol. Protein shakes, soup and water. MMm. Mmm! Ugh.

FOR LEGAL REASONS I RECOMMEND NO ONE DO THIS UNTIL YOU CONSULT YOUR DOCTOR OR EVER.

Love your faces, cuties. -Tan ?
