(also being able to see the purple fans on the front is nice)

although i do feel like underneath the desk is a lil dark right now...

also you might notice the desktop has moved a little bit, i moved it over a bit for some more legroom. also it can breathe now! not that thermals were ever an issue, but i think they should be even better now.

and with uhhh...slightly less coil whine? it still crackles every once in a while but it seems a lot better than before. idk i'm happy to have a computer again.

A computer power supply and all of its cables laying on the ground next to a computer, with some tools strewn about.

my computer has had its power supply privileges revoked

_not_ fixing this one on stream, we’re just buying a new cable lol.

An Xbox One style controller with the wire cut off.

y’all like my new wireless controller?

strangely enough, when i took it apart to take a look and see if anything was visibly going wrong a lil while ago it was _pristine_ so...i really dont know

oh in _other_ news of things slowly failing around my studio, my subwoofer has continued to do the thing where the power led stays on when i turn it off, but now it makes fun hissing and screeching noises when i turn it off too!!!

btw monitor is an LG MP59G if you're curious.

its been doing this thing where depending on what screen i have up the whole screen will get a bit of a green tint to it sometimes, and now its doing some strange striping and a bit of (temporary?) burn-in whenever i open signal lol.

A photo of the corner of a monitor, showing some strange horizontal stripes (the image can still be seen through them, but it’s definitely noticeable).

Another corner of that monitor, showing more stripes, as well as a ghost image of the signal icon and a bit of the signal menu bar.

okay i think my monitor might just be dying

okay i caved in im upgrading

i'll do a proper write-up on it at some point, but basically it just makes it really easy to patch fixtures by using a system where you create different fixture type COMPs, and then you can just make a table of fixtures and it kinda just takes the rest from there. idk if i'm explaining it well […]

been working on a system to make patching lights and stuff in #touchdesigner a lot easier!

The inside of an XLR connector. The wires are stripped back a little bit too far and the soldering job isn't fantastic.

The inside of the boot of the XLR connector. This image shows very clearly that the wire is stripped back too far.

definitely not my finest work but, it do work (at least for now). and it doesnt go _KRSHHH KRSSHT_ every time you move it :3

An XLR cable which doesn’t look to have anything wrong with it.
