4.26.19 return to stream soon

I woke up a little early today and am getting some more things done. I've thrown some things together after much procrastination recently.

*When will stream be back?
I posted a return to stream giygasthon schedule. This will be a day I don't have to work, which right now I work 7 days a week. I have been getting one day off a week, but it's not guaranteed right now. The rest of the return info I posted on twitter.
Schedule -- start between 3am-4am pacific, almost daily. I work 5pm-12ish. I go to the gym right after for 2ish hours. So everything is dependent on that. The latest I get out of work is 12:30 and the latest I get out of the gym is 3:30. That's why the start time is not concrete. If I get a day off, I will do a long stream. like 8-12 hours. but this will be fairly infrequent. I thought about doing 24 hour streams, but fuck. When I sleep-deprive myself now, it fucks me up for days. As you get older, past the 20s, you like sleep. A lot.

The return to stream date has yet to be decided. I will likely announce it less than a week before it happens.

*Stream content?
Speedruns, playthoughs, randomizers, Mario Maker 2, and 'best of giygas'.
Playthroughs will be mostly indie games on Steam or Switch.
Randomizers will wait until I play through each game casually again.
Maker Mario 2 will be after SGDQ (I started off as a medium-tier Mario Maker streamer and I want to return to it in some fashion).
Best of giygas is a thing where I playthrough a game on my 'games I love' list. Ideally, these games I would replay every year, but there are a few hundred of them.

*What has giygas been doing? + IRL
I've been having some trouble getting out of bed until work. It's not a depression thing, just tired thing. Today was a good day, and I have been getting more done recently. I have to go through a few boxes from moving to find some PS2 stuff and some other things, cook something before it goes bad, and organize some stuff. Stream-wise, I have to test a capture card, retro-tink, and update some simple back end things. Once a month, I have to schedule additional back-end updates.
I started a new job and technically have 3 jobs right now. I am full-time at 1, part-time at 1, and on-call at 1. I basically can't do the on-call one anymore because they are laying off half their workforce and only operating at night, when I work my other jobs. My main new full-time job is cool, yet really challenging. It's also financially rewarding and for the first time in my life I can live comfortable and save money without worrying too much. I'm thinking about buying a house this year, but my company laid off some people. There is speculation they are doing this to brace a recession. My job, is largely protected. But one can never be too sure, that is why I'm keeping one foot in two jobs.

Other than that, I went out with friends for the first time in 2 years and saw Endgame and ate okay Vietnamese food. Had a blast. Misses and I went shopping yesterday and still feel a little uneasy spending money when I have it. Hopefully treating us is something I can get used too.

*More Stream stuff
With the stream coming back: for donations and subs, I'm considering donating all of it to either charity or to pump back into Twitch streamers. Particularly those that may need it more. I do sub to 4-5 people already, but may increase that number. I've also added very simple merch to my stream. It's something I've had on my mind for a while. I've also ordered Twitch business cards, but those are mainly for random people that find out I stream and it's often hard to remember how to spell my twitch name. The only twitch merch I would want for myself is a tank and snapback. Not sure how I'm going to do a snapback.

I'm also looking at completing my video game collection. My wishlist is mostly finite and the rare games I'm looking for are mostly SNES and PS1 and PS2. The only places I've been looking are amazon, ebay, and estarland. Recommendations would be a plus.
