Update On My Traumatic Life.

 I will continue to keep everyone updated as long as I have the ability to do so. Today I processed the last of my prepped and unprocessed media. That includes a few weeks of shorts and one more week of The Case of the Golden Idol. After that there will be no more new content on YouTube. I am also breaking down and packing my streaming rig, which means that I will no longer be able to stream on Twitch when I feel up to it... As far as an update on my personal situation: I do know that one upside so far is that the major issue, which is whether or not I'll be homeless, will be resolved fairly quickly. I should either be settled in a new place with my sister or have no place to live within the next few weeks. Once I am settled, I'll be able to evaluate the possibility of re-setting up my streaming setup. Of course if the worse of the two options happen... Let's just hope that the worse of the two options doesn't happen. Lastly, I'm cranking out 2-4 job applications pe...

A Review of the MAONO PD300X Dynamic Microphone by TGDL

Goals/Description Welcome to my review of the MAONO PD300X microphone. It retails on Amazon for ~80-90$USD, and bills itself as a High Definition 192kHz/24bit sampling rate, dynamic microphone for Vocal Recording, Content Creation, Home Studio and Voiceover. My goals for this review: - Unbox the Mic and describe what it comes with as well as point out anything notable from reading the box and manual. - Outline everything the mic promises from its literature. - Most importantly; Test the sound along-side both cheap and expensive microphones I have laying around my house. - Test as many of the extra features the microphone outlines as I can with the current hardware/software I have available. - Lastly I will describe if it lives up to the expectations it set with its own literature, and whether I'd personally recommend it to someone who is doing casual vocal work such as podcasts or let's plays. DISCLAIMER: I was gifted the product that is the topic of this review by a MAONO repr...

Political Leanings

This is taken from a response I made in an Autism-related subreddit on Reddit.   When I was too busy with life to think about politics, I used to think I was 'centrist' because I didn't seem to be on the same page as either of our political parties here in the United States. Now that I am much, much older and I've had to deal with a family member going full tilt Tea Party far right fascist and bigoted friends and partners, I've been constantly learning more and more about political theory, sociology, etc. Now before I explain my political leanings, I'd like to make sure I give the qualifier; My political leanings are my ideal. I will be the first to admit that what I find as the most ideal political systems I know of are not practical due to the limitations of humans. In a perfect world everyone is honest, everyone does what is best for their community. We don't live in a perfect world. Robert A. Heinlein, a staunch Libertarian used to say he was a "Rat...

The World's Greatest Dad

 I've been on a bit of a Bobcat Goldthwait exploratory revival lately. When it comes to his standup, I can say with confidence that he's near, if not at the top of my list of solid standup comics. Using George Carlin as an example, a lot of my favorite comedians typically have periods in their careers I am not all that fond of. Carlin's late stuff to me was a bit morbid for my taste. Even some of his earlier takes don't often stand up to my autismancer-esque scrutiny. I haven't seen a piece of standup, interview, or even an individual take by Goldthwait that even comes close to disappointing me like some of my other favorite comedians. I remember watching the first movie he wrote, "Shakes the Clown" and was kinda 'meh'ed by it. He's had some time to put some other movies on his credits of writing or directing... So I've been going through what I could find of his. The other day I watched "God Bless America" and while it had its mo...
