EPTThings have been going great for me, I have been working now as an Apple tech support agent from home for about 6 months now, so I have been able to save up a little bit of money and also get my life back to being more stable. I met an amazing girl about a month ago and we have been dating since then, I feel insanely lucky because she is really sweet, very smart, honest, and really damn beautiful. She is also a lot like me in terms of the music she likes, very chill, enjoys smoking weed and is somewhat of a hippy chick, perfect for me!
Just like a lot of others, I have been focusing a lot on SC:Remastered, trying to get back ' in shape' of this timeless classic. I could deal with it before, but after playing hundreds games since release of SC:R, I decided it was time to get new hardware, I have become extremely frustrated way too many times feeling as if my losses were somewhat attributed to the shitty hardware I was using previously.
So what did I do? I ordered new f***ing hardware, duh.
I upgraded from ..
Generic Logitech Keyboard / Mouse combo

To...
Corsair Strafe Mechanical Keyboard

&
Razer Abyssus 1800 & Razer Goliathus Speed mousepad

...So now, I will no longer have the excuse of feeling like I lost games due to my hardware being inaccurate / inefficient, now instead of fighting with the hardware, I will be able to glide gloriously and effortlessly across my mousepad like a Jesus Lizard walks on water.
Also, I had a sudden urge to get Dragon Ball Fighter Z, because it just looked so damn cool. Along with the game I purchased an X-Box controller that I can plug into the computer, this is the first time I have ever owned a console controller that plugs into a computer, it is actually really cool. So far I have been using it for DBFighter Z and Destiny 2 as well.
I am surprised there was no thread on TL about Dragon Ball Fighter Z, it is actually a really badass fighting game, I may stream some of that as well in between Brood War...
Thoughts on the new hardware
I have had a few Razer Abyssus mice back in the day so I already knew I was going to love it, I strongly believe it is the best mouse for RTS, although I do have a slight complaint with the Corsair Strafe, although it is not a big deal and I will end up getting used to it, the Cherry MX Switches seem a little more raised than the Razer Chroma mechanical keyboard I had previously, and I guess due to my poor un-ergonomic posture, it forces me to keep my hands raised more than I am used to, which actually is quite uncomfortable, but over the years as I am sure many of others have done, you learn to get over hardware issues through time, muscle memory builds.....I hope.
Streaming
I took a break from streaming for a long time, like years, I have been off and on here and there but really not consistent, with me finally getting my life better in order, I will be working hard to stream more regularly and provide some interesting / creative and awesome games with commentary soon. I have a Webcam and Mic but I really don't use it much when streaming b/c I feel like it hinders my focus and ability to play very well.
I understand though for entertainment purposes that this is a must, to stay in touch with the viewers, so I will be doing that more often, also I am still working on some video strategy guides for SC:R Broodwar, so there will be more content coming from me soon.
SPTL
[WHITE] Will be playing in the SPTL (Shinhan Tank Pro League), I am in the current roster and will be playing in week 1 against iRk on Judgement Day, I personally hate the Desert tileset but I have been practicing and analyzing the maps with other [WHITE] Members, which has helped me grow as a player a lot. It is really awesome the connection that we have as a team and the growth that comes with the work that is put in as a team together.

Additional Future plans & thoughts...
+ Show Spoiler +
I know and understand that the common consensus is that a lot or the majority of people in the BW Foreign scene do not like me, that is something I have been dealing with for years, whether it be due to me being BM in the past, or people thinking I was lying about being in KR clans, or a combination of the both, whatever the reason may be,
I have moved past that, I am not be the same person I was before that caused these issues, like being BM, raging when I lost games,
being toxic to the community I know and love, etc etc., People change, and I ask that the BW Foreign scene acknowledges that and respects the fact that I am making an effort and have changed for the better, and even if you do not respect or acknowledge it, that is fine,
just know that I will be releasing content, hosting cash events, and more soon, not only for you, everyone, mainly for the community, to give back to the game I know and love...So before you go and hate me before you even know me b/c your best friend hates me, give me a chance and lets have a conversation, i'm a chill dude.
