GPT (Gaming, Production, & Tech) Journal – Monday, 19 Feb 2024

Gaming Journal (early evening): got a couple of sessions of CoDMWIII (PC) in btn last night and today on the box with the 7800X3d+4080. Can’t say enough how I’m loving the map rotation in Season 2, although voting sometimes swerves maps away (no one is voting for Breenbergh Hotel, LoL), which sometimes makes it just any other MW3 map rotation. Still, the Small Arms Moshpit is making a nice varied subset for working pistols while I’m giving shotty unlocks a rest. Had a chance to use the Elgato Teleprompter last night; really liking some of the features in the Camera Hub software; gives some nice options for a few different production types. Put the Elgato Mini Mount out at the video miniPC workstation. Think I’ll use it with the Shure MV7 mic. Settling down with the #XboxSeriesX tonight for some more Fallout 3. Also started Doom Patrol S3 earlier today. Did my journaling on the Google Pixel Fold. Still having a great time with this phone. Although felt a yen for the iPhone this weekend. Haven’t been using my Pixel 6 Pro. May flip that slot to the iPhone when the 16 launches. Maybe.

(Late evening): Really great time tonight in winding the clock back to Fallout 3 on the #XboxSeriesX . That Super Mutant Behemoth was no joke. I love the VATS system but my dude seems very weak with the weapons I have. I’ve scored a few criticals, but otherwise he misses so much there’s little point in using it. Planning on checking out Banishers hopefully later this week. We’ll see. Using the HBO Max app to wrap the evening with Doom Patrol S3E2. Finally got tired of the 3rd party keyboard case I use with my iPad Pro 11″ Gen 3; had to pry the iPad out of that thing. I should’ve just grinded my teeth and went with the Apple one. Ordered a refurb tonight so it won’t be a big loss if I upgrade this year.
