Where have I been?

Hi there! You may have noticed that I’ve been pretty absent as of late on main channel.
Things have been weird. I only have a day or so per week to work at the moment, and I spent a lot of that on the OBS Course. I also started the year by having to part ways with the primary editor I was working with last year (going back to a one-man show), and left my talent/ad agency not long after. Plus the awful personal stuff that hit at the start of the year.
In a way, it’s been like a mini forced “vacation” where I’ve spent a lot of my downtime just focused on D&D and miniature painting – but still working my butt off over the past few months on the course. Most of my time is spent being a dad, which is great, but leaves me little room for the intensity of content production that’s required for EposVox channel videos.
I’ve been trying to find where I fit in, as the streaming scene is… just in a weird spot. It feels like the scene is currently full of con men or focused on drama, and I just have little interest in that. I’m not a charismatic leader, I’m not a gossip person, I just want to play with cool tech and teach it. Plus, streaming itself has been on the downturn ever since the pandemic started “ending.” Interest lowered, whole sites shut down, Twitch started collapsing in on itself, layoffs have affected many companies in the space.
I struggle to fit in with any big groups, and I lead the streaming space for a long time, but I think it’s gotten big enough that I just don’t fit in anymore, again.

None of that to mention the clusterfuck that took place during Pride Month, nor the sad view of so many people being pulled to Kick (which has a myriad of deal-breaking problems IMO) over a basic sub split difference, despite years of teaching (or trying to teach) ways to better run and monetize a streaming and content creation business.

I’m still here. I’m still committed to providing the highest quality streaming/content creation education on the internet. I have a never-ending list of videos I want to make, and currently have a few exciting videos in the pipeline:

  • in-depth analysis of the GPU AV1 encoders and their quality differences/uses
  • streaming/recording-focused review of the AMD RX 7600 versus Intel Arc and the RX 6600
  • a return of the “Free OBS Tools” / “Top OBS Plugins” series

But these (especially the first two) take a lot of time, and I currently cannot maintain the frequent upload schedule I used to. And I want my focus to lean a bit more on the analog_dreams channel for the summer for reasons not worth going into here. Plus, given the centralized internet’s insistence on imploding (see: Twitter, Reddit) I’m even more committed to keeping everything syndicated across my own websites like this one so information is available in multiple places. I have a bunch of other websites I have planned for the next 6 months, too. Stay tuned for that.

But videos are still coming and I hope you’ll stick with me.

Be kind, rewind.
