Hey Wayne this may come across as personal so feel free to give any answer you wish, but I'm interested in streaming and being a streamer, I wanted to ask how you manage the work/life/stream balance? Getting a setup wouldn't be an issue but after work I often feel too drained to even play the games I enjoy, let alone that I'd be able to stream. Do you have any advice for up and coming streamers or people interested in doing so?
well i manage the work/life/stream balance by not having too much of a social life lmao. i can relate to being too drained to play games esp. with work, and my advice to that is that, at least in my experience, having a schedule when you’re working AND streaming is a bad idea. do it when you can, don’t be afraid to take a night off. have some consistency when it comes to when you stream/how long you stream but don’t guarantee streams on specific days if you feel too drained to do it sometimes. i can’t force myself to stream if i’m depressed because i know the stream will suck.
streaming is both mentally and emotionally difficult: and to start without a surge of luck like i had must be insanely tough. i guess my advice for growing is to try your absolute hardest never to look at your view count while you’re live. i still try to do this even where i’m at now lol
ASKS: What’s your favorite song from the Fallout games?
jay-leno-incarnate said to falloutconfessions: Personally a fan of The Wanderer from Fallout 4. But that doesn't mean you won't catch me singing along to every song anytime I play fallout 3, NV or 4
That song is such a good tune. Just recently, within the last week or two it randomly popped in to my head and I turned up the speakers at my desk and jammed out. When it was done, I exclaimed AGAIN! And promptly played it again. Then I told my coworkers, “I’m sorry about the Dion but I just HAD to.”

khazaiargos said to falloutconfessions: The best song of the series is My Chrysalis Highwayman from Fallout 2. No other song has the same feeling - the tribal undertones of beats reminding of your home village; the upbeat tunes of hope; the midtempo flow of travelling through the desert… The song is perfect and has been part of my travelling mix for almost two decades now.
Damn... That’s giving me goosebumps for some reason. It reminds me of something, a song or another game. I can’t place it. It’s definitely got that kind of free spirit, lone wolf, type of feel to it. Thanks for sharing. I own both of the games, and I’ve only played part of the first game but it is on my list of things that I really do want to complete.

chefpief said to falloutconfessions: Stars of the Midnight Range for new vegas, but for fallout 3 its Way Back Home. Fallout 3 got me a lot into music from the 30s-50s, Nat King Cole, Patsy Cline, Fats Domino, Screaming Jay Hawkins, Carl Butler, Tennessee Earl Ford, Marty Robbins, list goes on for far to long. Nv reintroduced me to classic country, which was a great thing imo.
It’s got a different feel to it, it seems (this is not a slight against modern music at all) like there’s more of a connection with the music and the vocals and everything. Music has always been for entertainment, but even in the days when radio was really big. People listened to the radio to get news, to hear stories, to listen to music. No one could see you so you had to have the energy reall infused into the songs. I’m probably just making shit up here but... It always surprises people when I talk about that type of music and enjoying it. When I was in college I was working part time at the college radio station and we had an older gentleman come to use who wanted to do an afternoon show playing music from that genre. Reluctantly we let him, only for a short time (that part of the story isn’t relevant) but during his show it was almost like flipping on the radio in Fallout 3. I ended up requesting him to play the ink spots, I don’t want to set the world on fire and my coworkers were like “Wait, what? You know this song, you know this music?” And I’m like, “Yeah, Duh...”
My girl crush is my beautiful girlfriend I love her so much I can't imagine life without her, she's the shining star of my life and all I look forward to anymore
