My Elgato Wave XLR finally took a pooper last week. Or at least it appeared like it did. While on Mooch’s “Crossfire” episode, the mixer threw every fit that it had been throwing for the last several weeks. I would lose everyone else’s audio, they would lose my mic, I would hear crackling voices…I force-closedContinue reading “From Wave XLR Woes to Workflow Wins: My Week of Tech Transitions”

Writing Against the Silence: A New Season, A New Device
I start writing tonight out of a grand sense of malaise. The events in the United States of September 10, 2025 and since have left me feeling untethered in a way that I have not felt since the last infamous date of similar timing, September 11, 2001. I just find it difficult to be motivatedContinue reading “Writing Against the Silence: A New Season, A New Device”
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 – A Midgame Reflection: Why I Might Be Returning to Consoles and Story-Driven Games

And I realized this afternoonContinue reading “Adapt or Game Less: Notes from the Priced-Out Frontier [from My Gaming Diary – Gamedate 78738.1]”
Chasing Graphics: The Frustrating GPU Hunt in a Retail Nightmare
The GPU market at retail is a mess right now. And the answer that “MicroCenter has the RX 9070 XT in stock every day until 3pm” is a disingenuous take that everything is ok for everyone else in the global market who CAN’t get to a MicroCenter. Anything that is in stock tends to beContinue reading “Chasing Graphics: The Frustrating GPU Hunt in a Retail Nightmare”
Embracing Tech on a New Writing Journey: a Retirement of Sorts
As I prepare to take off on this new writing arc (or at least claim that I am) one of the things that I am struggling with is direction. I’ve long told myself that I want to get out of the “I told you so” articles that have become my norm over the past fourContinue reading “Embracing Tech on a New Writing Journey: a Retirement of Sorts”
