So over the weekend, I managed to get 4-5 good hours of recording done and since I do them during the day for a time, three times a week, I can work on getting some episodes of Hacker's Memory and whatever'll go right along with it.

The ultimate plan is to have my own place as soon as the award letter shows but of course, I might be going radio silent for a time because even though where I am now has room and board for my core equipment, I honestly can't stay here and I don't want to wear out my welcome even if it is family. Thing is, getting housing is a thing here and I would need some extra help on my end.

I wouldn't mind if anything on my client feed would pick up, the extra income would be a BIG help. Least there is some amount of good on the VO front, I got two potential leads and waiting on a reply from a game dev who wants me to cover an early access game. Only details I want to know is if it has a toggle option for resolution and the like.Among other things, I'll be checking with some contacts with helping getting some added help as far as finding a way to bypass whatever obstacles as far as housing goes.

On one end, yeah it'd be nice to have my own place as soon as I get a feel for my surroundings and know the routes to take to get me from point A to B. Wouldn't mind updating all my known info as well. For safety reasons, I'm keeping my old info around until my change is permanent.
To me, it's not just about the freedom of what I can do with my time, it's more about keeping the flow of time at a steady enough pace for me. Because if you can't tell I treat being a Let's Player as a job of sorts. My thing is making sure I have ample time to make as many parts for the week ready at a moment's notice.

As the days go by living here, there are times I find it hard to find a time to record during the day. I feel as soon as I get that letter, things will change because as simple as living here for a time seems to be, I'm living with someone else and just trying to find a spot to record is the challenge itself. Just trying to schedule a few hours for myself much less have the energy to do them? A true test of consistency to be sure.

Yeah, we're not doing the 'New Year, New Me' shit on this channel. Things are a steady enough pace with how the schedule is going so far. See, with me it's about timing and I try to keep with things recording a week worth of content within the week. So Hacker's Memory is gonna be around, I'm gonna cycle Mother and Raidou around after this week passes, by then I'm gonna get Rebirth caught up in parts as well as Detective Pikachu. Got a few games over the holidays but plan to finish up things here in our present lineup before we move on with the next quarter of games. I've noticed I've been getting a few phantom dislikes but eh, goes with the territory of being a Let's Player at times. Hasn't stopped me then and sure as hell ain't stopping me now.

So throwing out DSTOV cause the save data got corrupted and I really do not feel like playing over a game I was nearly finished on. Thankfully the parts are up but as far as replaying where I stopped at, just not gonna deal with that right now. So the list has been updated and taking its place is Hacker's Memory. I have done a bit of digging at the usual spots for some Wii games that I did have back in the day but never beaten them. Mostly what I'm doing is running some control tests so my analogs can simulate the motion controls the way they were meant to be. I suppose I could do a behind the scenes video to show how my new setup actually looks like. It's something while I'm working on finishing the rest of my remaining games from last year. Few of them are requests so it'll take some time to get them set up but they'll get done regardless. So with that, let's keep that beat going shall we?

As you can tell, my last three LPs were done before and after the move and following my policy, I'm not posting anything until next week. So the following will continue onwards which are: DeathSpank: Thongs of Virtue, Raidou Kuzunoha, Detective Pikachu, Tales of Rebirth, DoC DX, and Mechanime for the weekend. I'm just exhausted from all the offsite projects I've been doing, as well as the case hearing just took it out of me, and now all I'm doing is this pilgrimage of sorts sharing the news of the decision. So between the Merry Christmas and Happy New Year jazz, I'm emotionally drained. Yeah it's nice and all, but it's understandable why I'm not feeling it right now.

Well among the projects I'll be working on behind the scenes, I got a few that I wouldn't mind showcasing:

Month has passed since the move, I slowed down after the win and it's understandable why. All the expectation that I honestly never wanted has been physically collapsing within me. The stress and burden of dragging this body around and by way of sheer force of will all these years, they do add up, However, no one can really say I hadn't worked. Sometimes the system is cruel but such is life. I just didn't accept defeat.

There's no greater victory than beating that one battle that seemed unwinnable.

Channel update will be featured after the case hearing, so no new videos will be made until then.

(SIDENOTE: This will be reposted on FB and Weebly.)

This is your friendly neighborhood Tenkaichi and here with an update about things.

So, as you saw in my last video, I no longer live at my ancestral home that I dub as Tenkai House. I understood the move physically, but mentally and everything else is a bit disturbed moreso than distraught. The good thing is that most of what I packed within a three to four day span are in storage and saw the evidence myself last night. I took about 20 to almost 25% with to my other bro's house which I'm living with now. As I said, it's a temp stay after I get situated and the case hearing passes. More on that later in post. Part of me wanted to take a shot of what used to be the den but decided against it.
For those who don't know, the room I took some of vlog was originally a den, then converted into a bedroom where my dad slept and was found dead in. He had a heart attack one night, a soft thud was heard and next day, his heart stopped. He was found laying on the floor. I was at 13 at the time when it happened, so you can guess what happened after that. I didn't bother visiting the room where Mom passed away in, it was better off. Her ashes are probably still in the drawers where I used to sit was. Far as my stepdad was, he literally "died" in the dining room. I sealed his life as a man with my fist next to him before he was sent off to the VA where he passed away there with a 21-gun salute.
Perspective-wise, I'm glad I became a Let's Player for one of those many purposes. It gives me a chance to fight off the murky thoughts that linger in my head. Depression self-harm and suicide are afterthoughts but they do exist in my mind. It's the disturbing part of me that people don't want to hear about coming from me. But I find funny, maybe a bit ironic. I get some requests to do horror games at times and yet I lived through a horror story myself. And no, don't tell me it builds character or whatnot. Many who say they read my posts, don't know that it's me that gets affected by all this. I can say that that cage has seen enough red in my life than I care to want to recall and yet now, during this time, been finding myself want to confront it by talking about this transition.
In hindsight, I feel that my life literally stopped during that time that after mom remarried, seems like things were getting better but then, it just stopped. Not even the events that were going on with me during that time weren't as important as theirs.
When I had surgery on my heart, that was when I felt depressed and helpless, my stamina wasn't as good as it was in my teen to YA years. I was in a word, trying.

There is some level of good in all this, those VO jobs I did pay me sometime back and after spending some time being here, most of it will help in restock things here, add more clothes for myself and rent for a time, least until I have my own place.
Video and possibly stream-wise, since my computer is hooked up to an actual network line and not to an adapter, it's possible to do streams without network drops happening. Aside from that, my other brother is actually getting to know me a bit at a time, he's not used to the fact that I when I do VO work for these LPs, I do my usually dips and bobs you know about. He states that I have about 15 'personalities' going on but thing is. all I ever do is try to be as close to the actual actor's voice to compensate for some of the games that have partial voice acting to the others that has none. I like bringing a story to life with my voice, being in that yearly poetry club is proof of that. Part of a poem I did ended up in a group poem we performed earlier at church, too bad I couldn't read any of the texts I got on my phone afterwards, my network restores in two days so it's not all that bad. I'm actually working on myself last couple of days, not just as a content creator but more so as me, Israel. You know, the guy behind the scene playing all these games you see here? Been relearning how to actually cook for myself, enjoy life and find my purpose again. Far as the videos go, they'll sound a bit different as the screen I'm using is on a TV over a monitor for them but shouldn't change the flow of what I had been doing. What I still got remaining is still considered work and very least I can do is just try to fire out as many videos as I care to do when I feel like it more over then I 'HAVE' to.

It's just another arc to me, and this is my transition filler arc.

Until next time,

Izzy
