You may have noticed over the last few months that SlowPsycho has been largely missing in action – again.
It was not a planned hiatus and if I am honest I wish I never had to do it, but life changes at such a pace sometimes that it becomes inevitable.
So what’s going on Slow?
Well frankly, the work/stream balance is not what it used to be.
If you were watching pre-2019, you will have remembered a regular stream schedule. If I was working 0600 to 1400 in my old job I would manage to get some 1600 to 1800 / 2000 streams in. Likewise when I was 1400 to 2200, it was a few hours in the morning!
Now though, my shifts are different. This week coming, my shifts start anywhere between 0400 and 0600, and finish anytime up to 1400. The job I do is much different now as well, more concentration and instant reaction. Frankly it is quite tiring.
Stream times obviously suffer as a direct result. I simply must be 100% in the game now when I am working.
So what’s the plan Slow?
I don’t know. I do know that playing big open world games like Satisfactory is a pain because it takes so damn long to get anything done. These are the sorts of games I should leave to Twitch Partner Its_Bitz who is far better at factory building, streams almost every day and… has MELONS!
I also didn’t really get into CK3, like Cringer and others.
So I need to re-find myself. I need to find games that I enjoy, but also have the time to showcase properly. I was quite into Honey, I Joined a Cult and even Recipes for Disaster ( well – as long as Recipes does not hard crash like a mofo! ) but people just did not seem to be interested.
What I hope to do, is blog more here about the games I do play. I know, I have said that a million times already and not really done it.
It’s not the end, it’s been 3 years of trying to find a new beginning
I won’t forgive myself for the things I did wrong. I also won’t forgive those that tried their hardest benefit from my demise.
It won’t stop me streaming though. Maybe not as much as before, certainly not enough to get close to being a Twitch Partner, and probably not content you will enjoy.
But I will still be streaming.
