A and C-Part Summary: 2022-01-29/30, DQ8

>Was just plain overuse rather than sickness(3:55)
She does her greeting very energetically and apologizes for the roughly three-day break saying she was, for the most part just lying down in bed reading manga, and that now she feels fully restored. She says that yesterday she was actually feeling rather fine even to the point of considering streaming, but the nousagi would probably call her out on still sounding hoarse and what if streaming would damage her throat and make her unable to stream again, she wouldn't like that, plus she has an important recording next week so she properly decided to rest instead.
She continues to say that she was a bit afraid before going to the doctor since lately there has been a lot of talk again about that thing* showing up and since there are people whose had it originate from throat symptoms she was worried that this hoarseness in her throat was from that despite feeling fine otherwise. But once she got checked at the hospital they said it wasn't like that, probably just a case of her overusing her cords and her recommendation was to try and rest while speaking as little as she can.

*She purposefully doesn't name it but it is unmistakably Corona/Omicron

>Her break made her consider a regularly scheduled break(6:17:25)
After reading a superchat regarding her break she says that she really earnestly rested these three days, and she slept so much that she was thinking that her body too must have been fatigued because no matter how much she slept she'd get tired again a bit later and such but because of all this she feels really rested and her throat is too in a good condition. The proper rest also made her think about perhaps adding in a regularly scheduled break somewhere within her activity, rather than something like three days in a row which she really wouldn't like to do regularly she was thinking about something like once a week.

>Streaming with her new monitor(3:35)
Slight context: In the previous stream she mentioned that she had bought the monitor but had yet to set it up, so this stream is the first one using it.

She does her greeting and says that she finally* got a new monitor and the one she bought ended up being bigger than she expected compared to the one she had before, so she is a bit perplexed from the sheer size difference. When she bought the monitor she was unsure if it was the same size as her previous one but this one seems to be maybe one size larger because all her windows like OBS, Chat, and so on are really tiny which is a bother for her since her eyes aren't that good so the larger the easier it is for her, with this in mind she did have in mind to use the magnification setting in Windows but it the way it turned out put her off so she went back to 100% which was the recommended setting. The chat asks her if it isn't just the resolution that is different and she says it could be that but she isn't sure. But she says that everything is really clean compared to her old monitor, like everything is easier to discern and the colors are fantastic. She still has one of her very old monitors as a second monitor and comparing with that one is a remarkable difference, for example the colors on the old monitor are bleak and more vivid on the new one. She gets asked what monitor she bought and she says it is an LG UltraGear**.

*She broke her monitor 2021-12-18 and has streamed with a damage like this ever since https://i.imgur.com/875tfnS.jpeg
**Unfortunately she doesn't give more than that so finding which one is a shot in the dark

>Doesn't feel the same eye strain as before(6:41:28)
She brings up that it is really nice how sharp the image is on her new monitor since she feels like her eyes aren't as fatigued as they would normally be after a stream like this. In the end streaming with a monitor that has interference on it will tire you out she realized, so when she streamed long hours with her old monitor she'd be a bit tired but now even after she's done she isn't feeling any strain or fatigue.
