AI? KITCHENS, SMART BUT BROKEN, & LIFE!
December 18th, 2025 @ 5:46 A.M.
I am finally dipping my toe into the AI world that I probably should not be but here we go on another adventure doing things that keep me productive but just add to the list of junked on my table already that I am doing too much of and at this point I might as well just keep adding you know? So I'm trying to install and use the tool called Robin which is a tool that will scrape the dark web and find the things you're looking for which I don't know exactly what I am going to be looking for on the dark web Don't ask me I just find it to be an interesting tool and something useful considering if you've ever tried to surf the dark web It is made difficult for a reason. Not only that but it's a possible to find any data or anything interesting on there and I would like to be able to do so, so I could teach my son The difference between surface, dark, and deep web. I will not be teaching him about the ridiculous concept of Marianas trench because that is not a real thing just like my social life at this point. However it does require an AI API key and even though I have installed both open AI and chat GPT I decided to try and get it to work with Ollama, Which runs locally on your PC and to be accessed by an IP address apparently. Because my local host and it's port number just says the following words to my face "Ollama is running" Which is a great bit of news however I already knew that considering I have it open on my actual virtual machine into my server but I was trying to hoping for an interface where I can actually interact with it there which is what I think Robin will need. Regardless this is all just on top of my new kitchen coming in that I have to build and put together. There are four PIR presence sensors that I have been trying to get to work as they are described on the website where I purchased them as zigbee hub required sensors. Funny thing I bought a zigbee hub that is supposed to have a clock on front of the unit. It does not have that. I also bought one smart fish feeder and it's supposed to connect to Tuya or smart life via Wi-Fi and is exactly the platform that I use for everything else including my smart dog feeder. Yes I do everything to the smart home because I am a geek not a nerd. Regardless now I have two of the units because I was going to return one and they already sent me the new one before I could return the other one. Neither one of them will connect and the other app that they suggest I use does not work or connect to either one of them and the third app is actually not available anymore. So now I get to surf the internet and see if this obscure APK file with saved somewhere and if any of those can connect. I'm also trying to do research to see if there's any workaround for the PIR sensors or the fish feeders to connect directly to home assistance or something I can use because so far the few things that I bought for myself using a gift card I earned through a seat scanning as not worked. In fact currently my dog tracker is no longer working I also have six other Bluetooth trackers that are not working The zigbee hub, my Galaxy projectors my pie hole DNS server has stopped working, the elgato facecam I think even Friday USB port not to mention I have the Corsair harpoon wireless and two dark core RGB course they're mice, about 4 different smart Wi-Fi plugs the heat in my apartment is no longer working The GPU pass through for proxmox is not working, finally the vape I have the glass piece broke. This is the only thing that I actually broke was the glass piece everything else is just the universe around me defeating me by not allowing me to wake up and just tackle one problem without a network of problems succeeding from the original. However I shall conquer them all regardless. Oh yeah the returns I'm supposed to do for Amazon they just randomly selected locations for me to return them to and I don't know if there's a way I can fix that So it believes that I am going to drop off these items at locations that are completely the opposite direction of my home and the other one wants me to print out a label or pay a dollar for the label to print out at least that one is easy and not a problem. However I'm very confused as to why it has chosen to first me to drive to Annapolis I live in Baltimore and to be honest things are going crazy here and I don't understand any of it. Eventually something will work but regardless I hope all of you have an amazing Christmas and a Happy New Year and any of the holidays that you celebrate during this month be absolutely amazing and feel as good as well you know. See you next year everyone! Oh wait yes one last thing, the updated PC part picker list for my builds and the new YouTube short / a little bit longer infamous studio offices upgrades and yearly tour visits is going to be uploaded ASAP I promiseLOTS AND LOTS OF PROGRESS!

I apologize for the lack of updates this month It has been insanely busy and last month was even worse. The second was my son's 16th birthday, and my daughter's 18th was later that month in August. Then I turned 41 on the 6th of September. My brother turns 37 on the tenth, this weekend we're drinking and celebrating, and I've been busting my ass doing a bunch of work and getting a bunch of things done! Have you guys noticed any of the small but subtle thematic changes on the website? Good, because I didn't change anything. Just kidding. We're working on taking the website down for a couple of days and then uploading a new version of it so if you see the websites down this is why! Just a little heads up in morning. The app will still be working and you guys can still contact us on any of our social media pages or platforms. I just want to wish every one of my family a happy birthday, and a great weekend and I love you all!CAR ACCIDENTS, CHARGING DEVICES, & LIFE;
October 22nd 2025 @ 12:22 A.M.
So don't mind me, we are just inundated by life and surrounding events. Sometimes it all just doesn't seem real does it? Don't worry it's not nihilism it's humor. So while going to take my son to get his driver's permit test another car in the right lane decided that they were going to take a wide right turn as I was in the middle of the two left hand only turn lanes and moving up with traffic when they tapped my passenger wheelbarrow. I could go into detail about what's going on and it would probably never be red, and it's also an active investigation so don't worry everyone was okay it was a very minor dent. Since then I've just been trying to get my cars sensors to work again and now my tire pressures low, it's always something isn't it? Besides all of this, we did lose a little bit of data on our Casa OS server, thankfully it was recovered within a day, and is up and running much better than before. We've also upgraded all the servers. So that's about it for me! Happy Halloween!
MEDIA OVERLOAD, SERVER UPGRADES, MORE PLANS!
October, 4th, 2025 @ 8:34 P.M.
I am desperately looking into the best solution for batch media compression. I need a software or a server or some type of automated process or automation that'll take my entire massive media collection and replace anything That is video and is over a gigabyte, take it and compress it to less than a gigabyte with 1080 HD being the bare minimum resolution, removing any hard coded subtitles would be a plus but not necessary, removing any extra languages or content, just the video, with 75% to 50% of the original file quality without sacrificing every bit of playability and watchability. See I have some experience with video compressor that will resize and compress my videos It would take it and give me the options of doing best, better, or good and scale my resolution down to 1080, shrink the frame rate or the bit rate as well as keep the audio channels on stereo and allow me to change the bitrate of the audio to 320 and this would overall an average save me a tiny 250MBs (this quickly adds up with As of time of writing there is 28,145 separate video files of something like 8,000 movies, and right now there are 675 TV shows, with every episode of those series. Yes I hoard data) up to 5GBs of the higher quality videos I wasn't paying attention to when downloading the first time. If any of you know of any type of good quality and relatively cheap software or automation design I can use to achieve this please let me know! Right now I'm in the process of putting together the largest single media dump I have done in a while I spent the last day just ripping discs, the DVR, and my other fully legitimate saved Media that I have had backed up for probably the last 6 months to a year maybe. I mean like the entire Bob's Burger series, fear The walking Dead, 250 movies, the last 15 seasons of family Guy, American Dad, and Simpsons, a ton of horror classics for my kids cuz they're getting into them recently. Don't worry they're grown funny enough. I just don't act it they do though. Now in other news, there was some weird bugs going on in our portfolio section but we have since fixed this by just reverting to some old code We have no idea what was going on something with CSS. Another news we're working on a short form upgraded and updated studio office tour video where we will spend like 60 seconds on the shelves, on the storage, on the PC components, on the editing rig, on the NAS, on the desk and then boom we're done. Each little section getting its own small highlight and then quick and easy digestible for this generation's TikTok and who am I kidding my ADHD attention span. That's all for now, everyone have a great day!LOTS AND LOTS OF PROGRESS!

ITS BEEN A WHILE HASN'T IT?
August 11th 2025, @ 4:10 P.M.
Well, there has definitely been incremental and small website updates, we've been adding portfolio work and all kinds of current projects into the portfolios and updating the app. These updates are always going on and you can always see those types of updates immediately Just say that you don't think we aren't updating the website whatsoever anymore. We only put in detail the more overhauling or complete redo projects of the website here. However, we have done some new updates to the server by adding Hackintosh server so that we can work with more Apple products more often. We're working on some new designs and logo options so make sure you look forward to that! Other than that I just wanted to let you all know that I love you and thank you! Have a great week!
HAPPY FATHERS DAY!
June 15th, 2025 @ 4:00 P.M.
First and foremost, I want to say Happy Father's Day to all of the amazing fathers out there who absolutely crushed it everyday and especially those that get no credit for it. I couldn't be more proud as a father today as just a few days ago I watched my almost 18-year-old daughter walk across the stage and graduate high school, my 15-year-old son has his whole life planned out and wants to be a gourmet chef or sous chef. Both of my kids have a good head on their shoulders and me and their mother raised them right and it almost brings a tear to my eye every time I think about it, In fact it does. I love my babies and when they were born it changed my entire life and I know for each and every one of your fathers that did the same so celebrate yourselves and have a wonderful Father's Day!
PROXMOX IS AMAZING, & HELLo!
June 11th, 2025 @ 11:03 A.M.
First of all, I just want to say to everyone I haven't been getting to update the website where the app as much as I want to due to health issues myself but My son for the last almost 4 months has been dealing with a undiagnosed medical issue and this Friday we are getting him an endoscopy so things are a little hectic and I have been focusing on family I'm sure you can all understand and relate. Now on to some good news which is I think I might be in love with Proxmox. I have a 100 terabyte, split into redundant 50 terabyte NAS storage, a Windows 11 pro networking VM, A Mac OS VM, Home Assistant, PiHole, TrueNas VM, CasaOS which is running Beszel, Uptime Kuma, Watch Your Lan, Kali Linux, Komega, Netbootxyz, Remmina, Calibre, Emby, Plex, Portainer, Flame, and Webtop. Plus I have proxmox backup server which as of right now has all of my VMs and LXCs backed up 184 * and is only taking 40.88% of the storage I have allowed for it. I know its a bit overkill, hysterically so. I like to have options what can I say? I'm still looking for more to install and run and make my home lab even more amazing. Any suggestion? Thanks everyone for stopping by!THE FRUSTRATION IS OVER! SERVER DONE!
April 30th, 2025 @ 5:16 P.M.
Welcome to the new wave of the future! The server work is completely done with our Proxmox layer and our Proxmox backup server, Beszel running to show all of the systems temps, stats, and information to protect our server , along with My personal media servers that are also accessible by the web for customers, along with in order server one for the comic books, storage server for myself and my clients That is 100 terabytes total but 50 redundant. We have a ton of back-end service running through Casa OS, we have an incredible front page through Homerr, My network is being watched by Watch My Lan and Intruder Net-x, I've got my server set up to send me alerts if anything is down if I running Uptime Kuma, My smart home is ran by Home Assistant running the plugin HACS, and a ton of other plugins, not to mention we're also running Home Bridge, Just to connect it with more devices. Our media servers running have a ton of plugins and awesome features like it loads my personal intro before every movie and TV show, you can watch trailers for every piece of media and when you click on it either the movie theme song or the TV theme song plays, we're running Plex and Emby, Just for users on personal choice but also because Emby also has an amazing game server that allows us to stream pretty much any system we emulate which considering we have a massive Rom library that was all collected and sourced legally through users. So now it's easy to sit back and stream a Xbox 360 game to my TV and using an controller connected to my Chromecast play it without any real input lag or noticeable degradation. It also allows me to be able to read any of our thousands of ebooks which is great for some of my friends who love that server. We're also running Pi-Hole which doesn't take much resources and completely changes the game when it comes to avoiding advertisements or having our data sent to ill reputable sources. It is our own personal DNS server and when you load up a Google search result you can see the results of this server ended service in real time as all the ads just poof and pop out existence and disappear completely. I've configured all my machines, TVs, game systems, and pretty much everything on my network other than the servers and devices that need complete access directly to the DNS server, now if for any reason my DNS server is down that doesn't mean the rest of our systems are down because of the DNS server being down, We are running a secondary ad blocker and similar service in ou Casa OS LXC, Even if that one feels then it'll just go to the network DNS service. I have no interest in adding any of the prowler or sonar or radar services as I do not torrent on my network nor do I expect anyone else to as it's against the terms of services, instead have a DVR that is directly connected to my server and its instance of File Flow, this allows me to get rid of commercials, refit to the screen size any letterbox issues, and compress the file size to its smallest amount without any quality loss this way my server saves a ton of space In fact running it over the course of two weeks non-stop with six cores dedicated to it It saved over two terabytes of space.. I'm also running a personal photo album organizer and optimization LXC. All of these services and more have made such an impact on the quality of my offerings and service and products, my productivity has gone through the roof and it is saving me money on electric as well as become second nature to us at the home running our smart home. As we run home assistant but on top of that I run a dashboard that is easy to load up on anyone's phone through an IP address and a saved link on there phones front page or desktop. I am loving it and now I am off to continue my efforts of saving space and organizing everything properly, I hope everyone is having an amazing week and doing well!MOD UPDATES & MASSIVE SERVER CHANGE!
April 8th, 2025 @ 9:12 A.M.
Okay so if you check out the change log for my mod collection that I have published over at Nexus you'll see that there's a 25+ Way more log of changes and new additional mods as I'm really working hard on this while I'm doing another massive change and waiting for it to slowly move over. I've been using window storage spaces forever with our NAS, is driven me nuts that I haven't been able to run all of my media servers on Cosmos OS, or Coso OS, within an LXC proxmox making it so much easier and cleaner and far more reliable by using a ZFS pools instead of windows. So currently right now I am removing one of the 16 TB drives from that pool and I'm going to create a single ZFS pool and then move over the 14 TB of data, then remove all the other drives and add that to the ZFS and mirror everything. The process is just time-consuming and takes forever as moving that 14 TB of data off that drive using Windows storage spaces speed on a mirrored partition is just taking HS and I assume even though it's on the same hardware as it's all one PC It's still going to be transferring it over the network from one PC to the same PC and we'll probably be capped at 1 GB speed if I'm lucky through the network but that doesn't take into consideration the speed of spinning rust hard drives. So this could probably take upwards of a week or longer. I will let you guys know. Thanks for coming with me on this journey by just reading this if anyone is. Do you exist? At least during the moving of the data I can work on the Fallout 4 mods and play the game! Being productive and enduring this multitasking is fun. Plus I recently drew up a new contract with someone I've worked with before to ghost write another song so I'm working on that as well. Have fun everyone!GAME MODS, SERVER UPDATES, & TIME OFF!
April 6th, 2025 @ 3:18 A.M.
I know what a time to be awake right? Well we are currently putting together the final touches on our mod collection for Fallout 4! All in all when everything is said and done the collection is about 40 GB of extra Fallout goodness not destroyed by Tom Howard or Bethesda's infamous messiness. We are also going to do the same thing for Fallout New Vegas and Fallout 3! We're excited to launch this very soon The Fallout 4 load is already up on Nexus and you can download it HERE! Now everyone just relax and take a big wild guess what the next update I'm going to give you is? That's right server updates! Yeah we updated some software that's all you're getting. Currently right now I am just editing together some footage and photos of Fallout 4 gameplay to upload to the Nexus mod site. After I finish this package I'm going to take a break for a couple of weeks kind of like a little vacation wish me luck!!RECOVER THAT DATA!
March 18th 2025 @ 9:31 A.M.
Hey everyone! I am happy to tell you that we have had a massive amount of media and data recovered, It was a huge undertaking and a massive amount of effort and time was put into this project however, we couldn't be more happy with the results. We had a few clients who needed some data recovery, and rather than going to some massive conglomerate or huge corporation with a lot more options and a lot more pricing increases they came to us and we in their words "smashed it!" Within 2 days of receiving the drives with the data that needed to be recovered we were up and running with our selected recovery software and had found everything they were looking for and recovered it within 48 hours of receiving to drives. They were ecstatic with our service and we are happy to provide it! Within the last few years we have definitely stepped up our procedural efforts and data recovery and storage solutions. With a wide range a software and hardware at our disposal in order to recover data we offer a plethora of services at all types of varying prices and time windows. We offer data recovery on microSD cards, SD cards, flash storage of pretty much any type, m.2 drives, SSDs, hard drives, and more. Please by all means contact us if you have any storage recovery efforts that need to be undertook and we will get to you ASAP.-FF-NAS, SERVER,& DISCOUNTS!
Feburary 20th 2025 @ 4:00 P.M.
Hello all you weary web travelers, It is I Chris back in the text form giving you the latest updates! So we have officially updated our data server to being a full fat 100 terabytes of redundant storage. No I don't mean we have 50 terabyte save twice I mean we have 100 terabytes saved twice.

It's insane how quickly this server has kept upgrades and almost to the bleeding edge we love providing for our customers and ourselves. We work hard why not treat ourselves right? It's running a plethora of servers including TrueNAS, Plex, Jellyfin, Homebridge, iobroker, Gladys, home assistant, audio bookshelf, net-x, mesh central, rust desktop, Uptime Kuma, calibre, parsec, Windows 11 server, Linux Kali, Linux Ubuntu, ErastsTV, odbs books, casa OS, runtipi, openhab, UrBackUp, homebox, convertx, romu, moodist, speed test, and that doesn't include dockers or lxc images for the most part! Of course we have messaging, hosting, services and other things just for our clients that we don't exactly mention here but you all know, it's in the products and services pages! Anyways outside of that we want to welcome everyone into the new year and get you started with everything you need that we can provide with a 15% off code!

OFFICE UPDATES AND WE'RE BACK! PODCAST POSTPONED INDEFINITELY!
Feb 13th 2024 @ 4:00 P.M.I know it seems like we've been completely absentee business owners lately but believe it or not we have been hard at work with a lot of our latest office refreshes and changes and just doing a ton of the behind the scenes work. We'll have to upload some photos and videos to show off our latest setup and it's completely brand new features and the design kits just the best we've done so far hands down and we're excited to share it with you guys.
Now that being said we do have some bad news which is that we are until further notice pausing the podcast and we will no longer be partaking in creating new episodes or editing or even running the website as of right now we really need to focus on our mental health and families and my partner Brad is dealing with quite a bit of issues and difficult challenges in his life. That and unfortunately some of the less scrupulous fans were taking the podcast and using it as a reason for behavioral indecencies that we do not agree with and do not in any way shape or form endorse.
It has been a long and difficult road in our journey with our podcast and we were proud of what we did and unfortunately it has run its course for now and we do hope to bring it back eventually but it does not seem likely as it stands now. However we do want to make sure that you all know how much we absolutely appreciate and cherish everything that made a part of our podcast that special as it was and all of you who were listening and took part of it we would love for you to know that you are going to forever be appreciated and we are forever grateful. Thank you!!STUDIO UPDATES, CONTENT, & PROXMOX!
AUGUST 25TH 2024 @ 11:21 P.M.
I understand that you are accustomed to receiving updates more frequently, and you may either be happy to see fewer updates or completely indifferent, which is probably the most honest response. Nevertheless, it is nice to see that there are people reading these updates. Now, let's move on to the updates! We have made several changes and small updates to the office, both in terms of functionality and appearance. We have also updated the website to showcase some pictures and videos of the recent changes. These updates are not too significant, as we are approaching the end of the year when we traditionally carry out a major upgrade and overhaul. My birthday is coming up in a few days, and although turning 40 is not exactly what I had hoped for on this birthday or the last one, I am still excited. We have also made updates to our Proxmox server. We are now running a Windows Server system, Truenas, Kali Linux, Home Assistant, Plex, and many other containers. I am really enjoying using Proxmox and their system. It makes it much easier to deploy multiple low-powered virtual machines and containers to run all the simple systems we need. Now, with all that being said, we are thrilled to announce that we are creating content once again! We have already started uploading shorts and scheduling them, and we are working on a ton of new videos to share with you all. We hope you are paying attention and checking out our YouTube channel because there will be a lot more coming soon!
PROXMOX, VIRTUAL, SERVER UPDATES, & LIFE!
July 9th 2024 @ 11:41 P.M.
There are so many things in the works right now and we have just been so swamped with updates to the office and work we were doing with clients and on our own time with personal projects that we have been totally neglectful of the website. We do apologize for that and want to let you all know that there are plenty of things in the works and in the pipeline. We have been updating the portfolio and catalog of recently finished work so you guys can still check that out at any given time. Now first of all we are running a test Windows server launch and it has been a bit touch and go but we are looking into a new server front end and we will be updating you guys about it very soon. Also at the end of this year there will be a major update video to be released so look forward to that! I hope everyone has been having a blessed time and we will talk to you soon!
WINDOW SERVER LAUNCH, OFFICE 2024 UPGRADE UPLOADED!
May 23rd 2024 @ 4:00 p.m

APP DOWN, OFFICE UPGRADED, ALL IS GOOD!
May 10th 2024 @ 9:30 P.M.I know it seems like we've been completely absentee business owners lately but believe it or not we have been hard at work with a lot of our latest office refreshes and changes and just doing a ton of the behind the scenes work. We'll have to upload some photos and videos to show off our latest setup and it's completely brand new features and the design kits just the best we've done so far hands down and we're excited to share it with you guys.
Now that being said we do have some bad news which is that we are until further notice pausing the podcast and we will no longer be partaking in creating new episodes or editing or even running the website as of right now we really need to focus on our mental health and families and my partner Brad is dealing with quite a bit of issues and difficult challenges in his life. That and unfortunately some of the less scrupulous fans were taking the podcast and using it as a reason for behavioral indecencies that we do not agree with and do not in any way shape or form endorse.
It has been a long and difficult road in our journey with our podcast and we were proud of what we did and unfortunately it has run its course for now and we do hope to bring it back eventually but it does not seem likely as it stands now. However we do want to make sure that you all know how much we absolutely appreciate and cherish everything that made a part of our podcast that special as it was and all of you who were listening and took part of it we would love for you to know that you are going to forever be appreciated and we are forever grateful. Thank you!!DATA SECURE & RELIABLE, NAS FINISHED, SERVER ALMOST DONE, & UPGRADES?

Thank you!!IT'S BEEN QUITE A WHILE HASN'T IT?
March 5th 2024 @ 5:32 P.M.Well we here at the studio offices have been just totally behind on checking in with you guys and updating the website with all of our latest news and updates and just keeping up to date on the log of data We usually like to post here to keep everybody in the community and anyone that just visits up to date on our latest going on and news..
Well things have been quiet here for a long time. If you hadn't noticed, we stopped doing the daily lists that were just cacophones of continuous and comprehensive and yet, still incomplete lists of every little finite detail kinds of updates. Mainly because nobody was reading them and why would they, they were mainly for myself to enjoy a written log of all of my productivity while working through one of my ADHD mixed with OCD power focused work sessions. Due to my health conditions and other situations there are far more breaks in between those days where unfortunately I am imprisoned in my own malfunctioning unit of a antique body and mind. All jokes aside literally there are days to weeks of every month where my productivity and output is severely affected due to health conditions that either make it more difficult and slows the pace of progress or it outright makes myself unilaterally incapable of any kind of work, productivity, or output. So, I had started feeling negative about my output and it affected my mental health and in order to alleviate this issue I begin these massive update logs where I went into infinite sprawling detail over every literal speck of work I had completed. Let's just say Adderall has always been really good at making people with ADHD spend a lot of time making to do and other types of notes and in of itself is a form of productivity when it comes to appointing myself pride in my work and reminding my more negative side of the effort and amount of multitasking. Because when I am stuck being in bed, or wherever my body decides to play Red light Green light with my ability to control my own bod and choose when to turn me into a piece of human furniture, that's when I get a little critical of myself and I have to remind myself of my situation and my past where I already took into account that I would be feeling bad about my lack of productivity so I orchestrate the lists of updates, so as you can see I put a lot of work in just two convince the handicapped version of myself that has no reason to be critical of my productivity but yet I was, and I've done it for so long that I've develop this system of convincing myself that I'm not just being lazy or that is somehow affects me as a person or my character, how crazy is that?
Well as a ironic life we have many moments where we look at the situation in hand and decide do I laugh or cry? As due to my health lessening the amount of time I have to work, and bolstering the amount of time I spend inaccessible (yeah, that's what I'm going with, imagine all of your brain cells have been turned off, but your mind is still on. You're there, thoughts only) which makes those work sessions far less frequent, and makes it more difficult too navigate my lovely situation and attempt to also hold on to some silly2023 News
MENTAL HEALTH BREAK AND PODCAST HIATUS
Dec 10th 2023 @ 9:35 A.M.
We finally have the Smart sensors working and the automation is amazing, you go outside the lights come on you go inside the lights turn on and automatically turn off when needed and the office lights up and you can greet you when You get ready to work, if there's a message or a water leak sensor alert or an alarm that goes off your immediately get red lights flashing on all the RGB strips. The bathroom light turns on and off automatically when you're in there. It has been one heck of a productive day!
Not to mention we also tore down the entire office with the exception of the PC and the NAS running still, but at its bare minimum and I mean like the mouse and keyboard and the computers and that's it.
On top of that, I have been working on some nifty features for the massive amount of cell phones I have and the ability to track them all and sync them all through apps and data and then another app that allows me to connect to my server and Ness and then back up the data, my apps, text messages, phone calls, downloads, videos and pictures, everything. Very handy!!
I aim to have the entire weekend complete a spackling, sanding, and then painting for the office and putting everything back! Plus we did the whole kitchen already and last night I managed to put some extra cable management and hook my son up with a system that has absolutely zero wires on the ground and will not be seen at all whatsoever when he wakes up he is going to be absolutely thrilled I actually added three different things of RGB that he's going to go over the moon about!
It really has been one of those days of non-stop productivity and I will check in with you guys this weekend I hope all the viewers have a great one of those speaking of it! I'm off to make this weekend just as productive and busy!SPACKLE, PAINTERS TAPE & PODCAST NEWS!
Oct 18th 2023 @ 2:43 P.M.Sorry for the long time no update We are really finally getting to move forward here, we are spackling and painting and down to the last wall of sanding and getting up as much dust as we can before we We begin to lay down the rest of the painters tape. I know it's been a while but we are going to be back online soon, painting should be done by the end of the day. Good news, we ordered two or three I don't know yet I forget, locking bookshelves for behind the desk. They also have see-through glass fronts so I know what's inside and I can display it. My evening light up each of the shelves with an RGB strip each for each one. All the components and storage I could use will be there and that is perfect for the 3D printer and AIO PC and the rest of the other components to sit on top of. In a couple of days here I am also going to be ordering The Smart Lock that also has a biometric thumbprint reader for it to lock my office. As well as a nice set of drawers that go on both side of my desk and match one another and have a set of three drawers, along with a open area for a displaying things, which this area lights up with a remote control LED which is nice, along with two power plugs and two USB ports at the top for convenient charging. This will be good because on the left side I plan on putting my refrigerator up on top of it, or worse comes to worse underneath the desk, then I can put the 3D printer on top of the left and on the right I'm going to figure out how to either wall mount my PC or have it sitting as a display on top of these shelves. To go with my two stacked 3.5 in screens showing off the temperatures of the two PCs I have I am also going to have underneath my middle monitor will be my Google home screen assistant and then on the other side of the monitor will be the Amazon prime echo show. Then I'll have the TV one whiteboard and the bulletin board, and on the sidewalls maybe a couple free floating shelves. So long as they match. Definitely going to keep it to a limited on wall mounted things this time. All of these items are prime shipping so it should be by the end of next week everything is done and put together. I already got rid of one of those ugly gray shelf units I was using. Our podcast is still as of right now on hold indefinitely until further notice. I will continue hosting the website and updating the podcast website with this news as soon as the computers are all put back together. Now crazy enough without the podcast to promote I don't know why I keep posting videos on social
PODCAST SEPTEMBER BREAK, PI TIMES 2, FISH & PAINTING!
Sept 23rd, 2023, @ 5:44 A.M.Guess what? I actually figured out a way to finally connect the PIR sensors that were supposed to work with the two-year app out of the box and it certainly did not I actually had to buy a Zigbee / Bluetooth / Wi-Fi/rf4400 megahertz wave-based Smart gateway in order to connect it to my Ewelink based app which is linked to my Alexa and my Google home which is also linked to my smart things which is my main network A smart devices and speaking of which I went on a rampage of different smart devices that I am going to be investing in soon in order to expand and build on my smart home network that I am absolutely loving right now. I did roll out the update to our automatic and amazing little 128 GB drive that is connected to a I think one terabyte SSD that's an m.2 and a little chamber and it just automatically every Sunday reads our phones mine and my sons and my four other devices I use including the smart panel on the wall and saves every app every text message, the calendar, the downloads, the data and every bit of information and saves it as a state that I could just return to it anytime and we'll collect up to the last 12 of those saves and includes pretty much every file on your phone it's very handy and in meat! I got this idea by setting up the Windows version for this editing rig, the Naz, my son's computer, My laptop for remote control work in the field, my touch screen AIO for various reasons I still do not yet know, just because I have the space I guess,
The amount of work I have done with organizing and tearing down things and getting rid of so much that it is absolutely freeing and far more pleasant to the eye and beautiful. Not to mention I spent hours on cultivating the perfect symmetrical and aesthetically pleasing to my OCD that calms me down and lets me breathe in actually helps me sleep because I'm getting sleepy right now and I certainly shouldn't be sleeping as I am wired and awake manic however I've got too much work to do for this morning to go back to bed until we go to home Depot later today! I have to buy some wacky waving weed wacker wiring for my son to work while whacking wildly weaponized weeds! Can you tell him a fan of poetic devices such as alliteration? It's a funny. Anyway after we get those two items I am also going to stop by PetSmart and I think I'm going to get a school of 6 to 10 fish and a very cheap 20-gallon tank filter for my other fish tanks I'm going to run for about a month before I get fish for that specific tank. Currently, I've been running the other tank for over 2 months in order to balance out all the numbers and everything I did a test but the pH balance and all the other important nutritional values for fish to survive in something that is cultivated purposely for their survival at maximum benefits meanwhile they could literally swim around in the Ninja turtles and be perfectly fine when I didn't try I had carnival goldfish to survived over a decade! Anyways, the amount of organizing I did today is also mind-boggling! I just finished up some touches on my son's setup that he's going to absolutely freak out about when he wakes up. However, another problem that arose is that my raspberry pi based retro pie server and game station crashed and I am currently absolutely devastated by this process and the pain in the ass that's going to be completely going through the massive list of experimental add-ons and systems that I can use due to having the maxed out spec raspberry pi 4 which is hard to come by and it's so rare currently in this country that it is twice the going rate. Now on the other hand I am also still working on the smartphone automation I am thinking I'm going to go either the "Homey" route or, Home Assistant, But I will be testing out Gladys, it pretty much every other IoT and Smart Home server automation software that I can install on the raspberry pi. Currently, I am rebuilding the retro pie by installing a dual boot along with the built-in add-on games and Kodi server that is maxed out with features and setting up the automatically connecting VPN that covers my tracks so I won't get any nasty emails threatening to take away my right to pay for internet as unfortunately even though YouTube seems to be absolutely obsessed with selling you VPNs and private network solutions that will protect you from hackers who couldn't give less than two squirts of the well you know what It's that famous old diarrhea song and my example is when you can't send the opening and closing handshake of data without your VPN purposely dismissing those two specific opening and closing communication pieces then none of your data's network is actually secure and basically snitches on you as if it's going to get them a plea deal and they don't have to spend any time in jail I could just have time served or something. to me that's just snitching and especially snitching on your boys for a little bit of that are you serious action? Now currently I built a dual booting retro pie build with the background being an emulation station of course and then the secondary operating system that could be loaded is the Raspberry Pi Android device which is basically a built-in system of having an Android system a secondary phone it allows you to install Android apps on your computer outright like side loading APKs and a bunch of other really seriously cool features and gaming as well as it is an automatic rooted device so you can basically do anything and install any of the free apps! I have been dilly-dallying as currently the likelihood of me getting the iPhone 8 plus A-11, is now worse off due to the fact that there is a lot of conflicting information on the internet that seems to be absolutely dedicated to making sure you failed miserably and do the most possible damage to what you were attempting to do in the first place! It is obnoxious and I'm still very annoyed that there were over a million games in various things and each and every single solitary one of them had the game manual, the box is the CD artist that implies for it, if not the cartridge with some kind of secondary image and then an image of the gameplay followed by if you wait 30 seconds it would play A little I grabbing arcade-style gameplay footage and it's usually run by someone who is 100% expert using the AI version of that to run through every obstacle like it's a piece of cake you know? Now as far as the podcast is concerned due to my co-host's hwLTH we are taking a short break, thankyou for understanding!BEST DAY OF PRODUCTIVITY EVER!

Sept 16th, 2023 @ 3:36 A.M.So I have a Metaquest 2 and I ended up buying Fallout 4 VR on one of those CD key websites as Steam is still running it at full price which is absolutely insane and obnoxious. I got it running for a while but it was just really making me dizzy and I need to do some optimizations on it first but once I do it's going to be great! I definitely plan on modding it and 100% when I start playing it and it's fully modded and ready to go I will be streaming it from my PC to YouTube and Twitch!
We have created a ton of animations and just regular color-changing gifs that have been uploaded to the recent projects section of the website. As well as the appropriate sections for animations. There will be some more created soon so keep a lookout for that We have been exploring new tools and animation software and we are really happy with some of the recent investments we've put into our animation suite.
Now on to the crazy news which is the office is currently under construction! Yep, yet again we have torn down the entire backside walls bookshelves, and organizing. I'm working on creating a couple of home automation operating system servers with micro SD cards so that I can test out some of the home automation servers and setups while I'm doing the spackling, sing, and painting of the office which is what we are doing now. Finally getting rid of that half-painted and replaced drywall look! I purchased RGB strips to go around the three ceiling corners of the office that will all be connected via the smart pub and will be controllable by the smart network of course. Let's go figure this out.MASSIVE UPDATE LOST TO TIME?
Sept 6th, 2023 @ 7:43 A.M.I wrote a massive update featuring a end of year wish list for the office's work and updates that we wanted to do but, unfortunately, it seems that we've lost it. However, if you check out our latest work section you'll see some good content there and we are releasing a podcast update about taking a temporary break for our birthdays and health reasons.
STILL WAITING, JAILBREAK & ROOT, CONTENT SPAM
Aug 24th, 2023 @ 5:03 P.M.
Well it's just another day, isn't it? I am about to go grocery shopping. However when I get home since everything is finished and I'm still waiting on a new camera, motion sensors, The Smart PC card, and the fingerprint reader which won't be here for a while I have decided to work on the content. Uploading TikToks and YouTube shorts. Also, hopefully, you guys are interested in some content featuring jailbreaks and rooting. Because I will be attempting to use a Linux boot disk on one of my other machines in order to do a developer jailbreak on my iPhone 8 plus, as well as a Galaxy Note 10 I will be rooting and possibly adding custom ROMs, Android 13, and apps. As well as I will be testing out a PXE Network operating system installer, It allows me to boot any computer into a choice of different operating system installers through the network. I'm also goofing around with some of the Linux on Windows subsystems I have pretty much all of the distros you can install as well as some of the more unique options. I'll be checking those out They or may not make content on them but should be interesting. I am still going to try and figure out how to make my studio office smart display from my old phone into a more useful smart display with a smart home automation operating system running on my Raspberry Pi server or with just a custom ROM and apps. The good news is that I have managed to do some research on my 3D printer and I will be installing some filament and attempting to test print some smaller objects that are on the SD card. Still haven't gotten my PC to recognize the printer yet.
Update 9:47 P.M.
Finally! We were able to lock down two cameras that will work within what we need them to, and with the apps we want them to, and should be here by Tuesday. This means the Smart card, The fingerprint reader, The two cameras, and our Bluetooth bridge should be coming through around the same time! This is exciting! I managed to put some nice RGB riding on my desk as well as include Alexa on this smart home automation program and that allowed me to finally be able to turn off my office whenever there's no motion for quite a while. It's difficult navigating all these different pieces of software and smart home automation devices. Now that I'm finished with all the smart stuff for now I am taking you a lot of content and said jailbreaking and rooting. One great bit of news is that I finally found the correct power supply for my speakers so I can hear my computer again! Now All the orders are in and I ordered some shower curtains and got the speakers working again. Trash is out and taken care of now it's time to spend some content uploads we have had sitting in a finished and a to-finish folder, for like 3 months so I'm sure this content will be super relevant and recent. Just finished a ton of content releases and now time to upload the news and updates take a break to watch some "Heals" and then back to work! Bye all!EDITING, RGB, SECURITY, & AND MORE CHANGES
Aug 19th, 2023 @ 2:12 A.M.
Well, I'm in the process of making a return at Walmart so I can instead order something from Walmart online, and sometime between today and September 6th, my birthday funny enough the Smart sensors, smart cameras, the smart home control PCIe card, door sensors, the card reader for underneath the desk, The fingerprint reader for my PC, the light bulbs that will match the home theater ambient lighting kit that is hooked up to the big screen TV and will flash the lights according to what's on screen, as well as light bulbs for the rest of the apartment will all be here and eventually be set up. The cameras will apparently be here today so at least I'll get to set those up and see if using the Smart Life compatible cameras will allow me to do the smart home automation. Then I'm going to finish editing the podcast episode and schedule it for Sunday at noon of course. Then I'm going to work on Google automation scripts. Also, shadow you guys because you've got another almost 30,000 views on our YouTube shorts again. Jesus, you guys are amazing!
Update: So I'm getting ready to do the massive charging station and it's cable management that is behind my headboard. I added a much easier-to-use RGB strip to my sunset up, as well as attitude RGB monster light bars for each of his monitors, and finally mounted his black light. I changed the stairwell light and hopefully, it sticks this time cuz redoing those automation keys is annoying. Did a lot of cleaning and a little reorganizing just to make it look a little nicer. Also, added some motion-sensoring lights to the closet area. As well as some under-bed and couch glow effects. Just for my son's ability to see at night. Basically, I'm putting off editing the episode which needs to be done by noon to release tomorrow at noon but it'll be fine. I cleaned out the fish tank. I built some shelving and retooled some of the smart home automation. I also mounted the smart home controller that I made out of an old phone on the office wall. So yeah, super productive day Time to go take a two or three-beer break take some Tylenol then edit the episode and try to figure out these stupid smart cameras that won't work on my smart app even though they're supposed to and are the same company, go figure?CABLE MANIA, PODCAST BREAK, & OTHER NEWS!
Aug 11th, 2023 @ 2:20 P.M.
Well, I am about to head towards Walmart and return one pair of cameras only to order another pair of cameras, then I'll be waiting for our new RGB lighting and home automation Smart sensors for motion sensing and automating smart device actions as well as a couple of new light bulbs that we need all coming from a Walmart order. We updated the news page here in order to have the same size font everywhere which I had only just noticed. Also, we updated the new section of the podcast website and the latest episodes list there as well. Along with that work on the podcast web page, we've also fixed some issues with the fonts and spelling that I didn't realize were improperly displaying.
Update: I am genuinely frustrated I have spent the entire day working in the office and getting a ton of things done I even managed to install all of the shelves I wanted to. Set up and tested for recording the podcast episode Sunday and everything works perfectly. Have finagled with the cable management to the point where I have legitimately got everything where it should be and working perfectly. Now without having to worry about a sudden ripped wire I can lift or pull down my desk. Everything is done yet again and finished except I cannot find one plug which is to my speakers! How frustrating.
Update 2: I have done so much work on the office and just general improvement and gotten rid of and tested All of our new apps and hardware and the software that comes with it, we really kicked the proverbial and productive rear end today! Yes, I forgot to mention the fish even got a nice little upgrade as we upgraded the tank lighting with some more Andy lighting effects and it looks great of course even sea creatures need RGB. It's only 11:42 in the evening but it does feel much later than that. Perhaps because I've been up for 2 days working. Tonight I'll sleep don't worry.S22 ULTRA, ACCOUNTS, & JOYS OF CABLE MANAGEMENT!
Aug 6th, 2023 @ 11:34 P.M.
So tonight I am working overnight in order to complete switching over to my brand new Samsung S22 Ultra, which includes making sure all the photos go in the right spot and all the correct social accounts, logging into everything, and making sure it's correctly running. Reconfigure all of my finding my devices apps and smart home devices. We really need to start working on our shorts and our tiktoks as those scheduled ones are about to run out! We set up a ton of automation and did a ton of office work and got the wiring back down and properly working again and now putting the desk up or down won't affect it and it will still work just as it's supposed to which is a major plus and exactly how I wanted it. For my birthday I'm making some upgrades I'm buying some new light bulbs, and some smart sensors for automation and saving electricity, two new cameras that will also act as sensors and recordings for when I'm not home as the security system whenever my phone leaves the area automatically activates recording and motion sensor alerts. Plus the TV in the office and the TV in the bedroom will have a upgraded GOVEE RGB light sensor bar for color matching the TV for ambient lighting how I love it.

Well after that Windows install we're now installing all this software and we just finished all of these tools and just a massive amount of unfortunately placed Windows store applications and now we're working on getting our games back while also installing off of our NAS All are original software. Not to mention we crushed it and finally got our Linux and Android subsystems for Windows correctly to figure in working and installing our apps and it is a beauty! I'm almost done editing our latest episode of the podcast and that will be scheduled for later today release. We updated our Plex server and finally fixed all the links to the media that changed folders several times because of the data migration. Well, the podcast is uploaded to both YouTube and rss.com and will be released on all the platforms at 8:00 tonight! We are almost done with just absolutely getting rid of a lot of stuff and we actually minimized our entire storage and is amazing we are so happy to be down to minimalistic amounts of stuff we have to physically store. We have finally finished All of the donating in the tech and getting rid of some of that old storage stuff, we redoing the fish tanks and everything else I am so happy and it looks so much better! The cable management is being done again in order to fix the sit-stand desk. Currently, I am wrapped up and downloading and turning off new emulation tools and tracking and collection units and a town of new software that I am excited to use! My son and I are going to start tearing down the computer and keep him management now but before that, I want to mention how grateful and say thanks to all the people who have made the last seven videos we've released on our YouTube shorts just go crazy with views and how exciting that is!
NEW SOCIAL, SOFTWARE UPGRADES, DONATIONS +PODCAST NEWS!
July 23rd, 2023 @ 8:33 A.M.
Today has been the single-handed most absolutely productive day I have ever had for a single day in my life. Brad had come over early today after taking off of work and needed to blow the steam so the two of us fixed the cooling situation in the studio office and apartment and it is infinitely cooler. He is an HVAC master. Then we decided to throw away tons of unnecessary clutter and left behind crap in the storage downgrading as much as possible to streamline the home much like we did for the podcast which you will not believe the insane amount of changes we're doing there. First of all, by the time you're reading this, you should be able to go look on YouTube or any video podcast platform where ugly mugs are all over it because finally Brad and I have agreed upon the fact that we are no longer pretending to be podcasters we are now professional amateur podcasters we are going full video which will be recording the video and the audio at the same time as well as a second layer of noise canceling processing and give us the access to the damn fan being able to still run without any even promote hint of it in the background thankfully because we hate trying to record and having that podcast sound like a fan is going in the background. We want 100% clarity in the background and silence so that you guys are able to have a listening experience that is 100% without interruption or any kind of annoying idiosyncrasies. Wet wanted our show to be one of the podcasts where you weren't constantly trying to focus on the background music going. We are capable of using either the green screen that we already have installed behind the TV in our backgrounds which is awesome or we can forgo using that thing I just straight up use the Elgato background addition or animation or removal features and we've got some awesome ones that we will be using they're just cool background for spicing up the visual podcast player. However, we will be adding a ton of new features to the podcast will be reacting to viral clips we'll be discussing things online will be stealing 100% of the whole Joe Rogan podcast experience playlist of course. The definition of podcasting 101 and how to do it. We will also be adding a ton more little sneaky Easter eggs and pop-up text like pop-up music videos get back in the day on MTV so you better pay attention to the visual side of the podcast and you never know if we just give something away so you should be very very very inspired to watch it and totally not at all our intention we're genuinely going to give stuff away, but seriously it is 100% our intention to come up with some really cool ideas and features of the show that we can add for more of a streamlined and episodic content featuring reoccurring fan engagement and lots of different segments that will be tried or added over time and feature awesome new content that engages with you guys because that is the whole idea I am trying to make sure I give you guys the best possible content nothing more than I would like to be entertaining and I'd like you guys to being the ones were 100% entertained! Now here are some even more cool moves I'm not going to worry about committing the cliche act of cringe and just posting my opinions on other viral tick socks attempting to get some used to podcast push instead they're all going to feature the podcast themselves and just be a promotional clip for the next episode and feature little previews and the best of where we make hilarious outtakes or jokes that would be good for short clips to promote the podcast and just be our own YouTube shorts and others that we feel would make good content! So 100% this streamlines not only having to record video and audio together and cut back on Brad not having to edit and that means more episodes release faster and with are more streamlined process but with more content and even better visuals and more pieces to the actual content I'd have to say it's pretty impressive I was able to add to the show upgrade it's going to be a faster relief schedule and with more content for social media and promoting I think I did pretty good. Starting to get a hang of this stuff if we could only manage to communicate and do better scheduling as well as answer one another and not go silent on you guys ever again which I am totally sorry for there are just times when we are swamped with vacation prep birthdays or just holiday stuff or just regular life kicking our ass which is my problem I am constantly being under attack with my complex regional pain syndrome on top of not even remotely trying to record whenever I have just no motivation because of my Adderall or depression and I really got to push through that stuff for you guys and just in general to do better so we're looking forward to some new rules and better communication and awesome content and hoping that we can get you guys to be just as excited!!! Now the crazy part around the house is I have literally gotten rid of so much of the old check boxes that have been used and, a ton of junk we didn't need or tools that I don't use that I put out into the sheds I am working on a brand new dresser that is actually a portable closet and I am tired of having to use different and difficult ways of storing and organizing my clothing as well as my sons. Speaking of which my son got a brand new desk and I gave him one of my 27-in monitors I'm no longer using due to the fact that I have gotten a brand new 4k HDR with one-millisecond refresh rate 166 Hertz a bad Mamma Jamma of an editing and gaming monitor if I've ever seen one and I got to tell you guys it looked amazing playing some RTX and they will cyberpunk and still getting 120 FPS! I went back and checked out the equate and portal RTX demos which were freaking amazing with the way they were able to make that game infinitely better looking after 20-some years which is better lighting and tracing of that light. I have gone around the room and done an amazing job of making sure that I've literally organized all of the tools, all the hardware like nails and screws, and everything else we emptied out the HVAC closet, and we have stored our monitors along with the monitor stands, and done some crazy vacations on the whole room to kind of streamline everything will also downgrading and getting rid of so much. It's all out on the street now because of trash day tomorrow and it's been a massive overhauling and took a long time to get all of it out to the street and I got to tell you I am hurting so bad it's crazy but I got to admit it's kind of worth it guys! Not to mention those monitors I got are now in that millennium falcon orientation and I got to say it's my absolute favorite monitor layout I've ever had I think it looks flat-out amazing I accidentally put my landscape monitor with the gel bottom lip chins of the monitors on the sides of them which doesn't look good I got to flip them around so there's no big branding logo of Dell on each side of my monitor which both have nice RGB lighting that has ambient monitor matching lights on the back and they are amazing as well they run through Razer Synapse program. Now you want to hear how much we have for custom software running at one time? We also have to have the NZXT hub running for the LCD screen as well as running the metrics and monitoring for the Krakens AIO. Then since I bought my absolute dream monitor and have the IQ Nexus screen connected to the top of it like it's supposed to I have the beautiful Corsair k100 optical mechanical keyboard hooked up to the iCue software of course. Let's see if I can go through the massive list of course air components being programmed by iq. We've got like three ml 120 that will be added to the current Kraken's non-rgb lights on their fans these are magnetic levitation lights that are great for operating at high speeds and cooling fast for a 260 ml radiator without getting loud that way we won't hear it when recording or just the coil one that comes from the AIO will also be quieted. Then we have the Corsair dark core RGB which I actually have two different wireless charging units of these, but both are connected and charging because most of the time I use the Corsair Harpoon wireless. For wireless headphones or gaming sessions, I have one Corsair RGB VOID Pro with yellow jacket coloring. Then we also have the RGB White Void Pro headset those are both the simulated 7.1 surround sound which are amazing. They're really good units, to be honest. Then we have the MSI motherboard software so that we can run upgrades and keep an eye on its bios upgrades and if they're needed as well as the lighting around the motherboard. Then you got to run the Razer lighting that also runs off of Synapse so it's a little easier. Still, then the RGB monster software to run the lights on the PC and connect them but also on top of that you have to run the app and be light to get them to match the razor synapse with the monster app which connects the actual RGB mounted backlight for the monitor there's three of them. Then I believe there is the software for the 3-in screen that tells us the stats and updates on the little micro screen of the computer. On top of everything else that we are doing, I also have to sit here and spend quite a bit of time tonight absolutely either using the regular label maker or the thermal printer to put out all of the new and older still being used for something boxes and organizing. We put the new fridge underneath my desk and got rid of a lot of organizing in there. Then we are working it was service we will be adding to our constant ever Loose Reality Inc services and skill set, by moving the desk a little bit more to the left and then putting another desk over at the right for the computer is mounted in order to make room for a secondary side table and then fit what we can on the right main desk to use for organizing and making sure all the proper tools are together and all the tools with the exception of the screwdrivers and the ones on the wall are going straight up to the toolset in the hallway that has the automatic lighting. I want to try and get rid of two and downgrade that so it's not in the way of the door. Here's the coolest part of! I have a 3D printer that is now going to be continuously making new parts and printing things for our studio office and our clients and I cannot wait to get it in the office and start figuring out what we're going to do I may have to get rid of the dresser and try to find a place for that in the actual apartment but I'll tell you what smash this year's continuous goal of just adding new constantly ever-changing upgrades and updates and I'll tell you what I didn't even mean to get this started or to be doing all this like this 100% it fell into our lap and we accepted it and the video updates for the podcast was a necessity and there's just a ton more going on and now I got to go pick out our dresser and clothing hanging portable unit so that we can freaking finally get all of our clothes together and nice and organized.
SECURITY, OFFICE CHANGES, & WEBSITE UPGRADES!
July 20th, 2023 @ 819 A.M.Well, we finally did it and we bought a couple of security cameras for the office in the main room. Also, I have managed to get a lot of the old crazy tools I don't use anymore instead apparently I have been hoarding them for years and giving them away or putting them in the shed. Oh man, and thanks to Linus text tips for releasing an awesome new video about some great new tools and software that have definitely come in handy like chocolate tea and others that are just stellar tools for me to use and are helpful. I've been doing so much work and absolutely crushing physical labor and just perfecting every little detail of the home and the office and the PC software side. But I have yet to do a single solitary TikTok upload in months because of all the scheduled content I'm still safe until the end of September, yet we've already created a bunch of new content I really do need to get on that.
AUTOMATION, SMART UPGRADE, SERVER, AND MORE
July 15th, 2023 @ 8:49 P.M.I'm currently in the middle of a struggle to keep my fish alive and also take care of my son who now every time he gets a little cough or chills he swears he's got covid "again" LOL For a kid got an itchy throat and is miserable and at the same time I am juggling attempting to keep my 40-gallon fish tank and the three fish in it alive and well because it seems like after removing two of the pirate ships that were in there for decoration it shows lose some poison or something because it's looking like no matter how much I do to preemptively stop it from happening at least one of those fish look like they're going, and the 20-gallon tank on the bottom just randomly went from 6 to 5 and now 4 and hopefully it won't go any lower or worse! I know what I'm doing with fish tanks I swear it.
Now on to a better topic! Google Homes' new automation and insane and amazing new updates! I am only now starting to just work on some new features and ideas and will be checking them out soon going to be adding a ton of new stuff, especially with the new automated scripts and a raspberry pi running home automation operating systems. I'm also starting to get rid of a lot of the storage and put all of my tools out in our shed and just kind of downgrade on the amount of things in our house so should be a nice little change.NEW EPISODES, PODCAST NEWS, CONTENT VIEWS, & WEBSITE!
July 7th, 2023 @ 8:46 P.M.So first of all happy Fourth of July to everyone I hope you guys had a blast and party responsibility of course. Second of all I want to say whatever angels are once again shining down upon our YouTube channel a massive thank you for bringing us your light once again! We have reached 17,000 views in the last week plus 48 new subscribers and that's just the small side of it there is so much more. That is great news considering it seems like for quite a while there we were stuck at very low views and new engagement once again out of nowhere like we were punished but once we released our latest podcast episode which is now in full video and 4K uploads every episode from now on we started getting the views again which is incredibly exciting and we couldn't be more thankful to all of you supporting us! Currently, we're working on creating a much slimmer Slimline version of our Nas databank we have copied off to a redundant source and will be creating a new raid array with the fewest amount of drives possible. Then test each movement individually and see if there are any data errors or reading issues. Right now I am in the process of relabeling everything and getting rid of a lot of old product manuals and organizing them properly I have so many I have to do it by PC and office tech, furniture and home, lighting and design, various tech, and the kids things, I think I'm a product manual and instructional guide hoarder. I just finished doing an absolutely come-from-bottom spotless way too hard on the bleach-crazy Overkill cleaning in the entire house so everything looks amazing until my son wakes up anyways. Now that I'm going to take a little break afterward it'll be time to work on tomorrow's podcast episode the subjects and content and what we want to do. I hope everyone has checked out the amazing work we did on last week's episode it is in full 4K video on YouTube and has been released everywhere since Sunday hopefully we can get another episode out next Sunday I'll let you know if there's any delays. We totally just finished the installation and all of the new cabling of the surround sound for the TV system in the office we added some new camera features for the podcast I am now working on the data migration which is almost complete or at least the first leg of the journey is, I have gotten 100% of every last one of my tasks I started out with completed and fully properly successfully done and I am calling this a good day and thanking all of you for not reading a word of this and hope to hear from you soon can't wait to get recording today hopefully and to talk to you soon!
3D PRINTER, RENOVATIONS DONE, NEW EPISODE THIS WEEKEND!
June 27th 2023 @ 4:58 P.M
Today has been the single-handed most absolutely productive day I have ever had for a single day in my life. Brad had come over early today after taking off of work and needed to blow the steam so the two of us fixed the cooling situation in the studio office and apartment and it is infinitely cooler. He is an HVAC master. Then we decided to throw away tons of unnecessary clutter and left behind crap in the storage downgrading as much as possible to streamline the home much like we did for the podcast which you will not believe the insane amount of changes we're doing there. First of all, by the time you're reading this, you should be able to go look on YouTube or any video podcast platform where ugly mugs are all over it because finally Brad and I have agreed upon the fact that we are no longer pretending to be podcasters we are now professional amateur podcasters we are going full video which will be recording the video and the audio at the same time as well as a second layer of noise canceling processing and give us the access to the damn fan being able to still run without any even promote hint of it in the background thankfully because we hate trying to record and having that podcast sound like a fan is going in the background. We want 100% clarity in the background and silence so that you guys are able to have a listening experience that is 100% without interruption or any kind of annoying idiosyncrasies. Wet wanted our show to be one of the podcasts where you weren't constantly trying to focus on the background music going. We are capable of using either the green screen that we already have installed behind the TV in our backgrounds which is awesome or we can forgo using that thing I just straight up use the Elgato background addition or animation or removal features and we've got some awesome ones that we will be using they're just cool background for spicing up the visual podcast player. However, we will be adding a ton of new features to the podcast will be reacting to viral clips we'll be discussing things online will be stealing 100% of the whole Joe Rogan podcast experience playlist of course. The definition of podcasting 101 and how to do it. We will also be adding a ton more little sneaky Easter eggs and pop-up text like pop-up music videos get back in the day on MTV so you better pay attention to the visual side of the podcast and you never know if we just give something away so you should be very very very inspired to watch it and totally not at all our intention we're genuinely going to give stuff away, but seriously it is 100% our intention to come up with some really cool ideas and features of the show that we can add for more of a streamlined and episodic content featuring reoccurring fan engagement and lots of different segments that will be tried or added over time and feature awesome new content that engages with you guys because that is the whole idea I am trying to make sure I give you guys the best possible content nothing more than I would like to be entertaining and I'd like you guys to being the ones were 100% entertained! Now here are some even more cool moves I'm not going to worry about committing the cliche act of cringe and just posting my opinions on other viral tick socks attempting to get some used to podcast push instead they're all going to feature the podcast themselves and just be a promotional clip for the next episode and feature little previews and the best of where we make hilarious outtakes or jokes that would be good for short clips to promote the podcast and just be our own YouTube shorts and others that we feel would make good content!

REUSING & RECYCLING, OVER 9000 PRODUCTIVE LEVELS!
June 24th, 2023 @ 6:53 A.M.
We have been absolutely non-stop busy since probably June 16th guys I could tell you that we have been absolutely the most productive. I mean take our last effort of being the most productive we've ever been and multiply it by the power of 500. There's absolutely no comparison. We have reorganized and downsized while upgrading and restructuring the entire apartment and office and studio everything that is a part of my home has been torn down by its molecule level almost and labeled and organized in a way that will absolutely alleviate every single solitary instance of I could have sworn that I put those things here and or not being able to find anything at all which y'all know my OCD that means it wasn't terrible before but I'll tell you what I have done make sure that every single song organized for hours at the perfect level. I can show you guys some pictures once everything is complete. Currently I am tearing down and saving some of the wood pieces and the hardware used to build my old dresser which was just absolutely not cutting it as a piece of furniture and just I'll tell you what it continuously have the drawers not reaching the metal sliding frames and rails and it just you couldn't actually put away any of your clothes without it falling off the rails every single time the worst build your own furniture kind of furniture I've ever come across and it was just unbearable and I got a new and much better closet replacement which is an entire actual portable closet system it's basically a metal frame with multiple sections for hanging, leaving your jeans and other different articles of clothing and then places for drawers where there are things that you organize in their drawers and this will alleviate the fact that I have been hanging up my shirts on a rolling metal and plastic clothes hanging portable closet that my son has absolutely and savagely destroyed due to his refusal not to lean back in a computer chair that is very much going to break as well eventually but now I can save so much more room on my stairwell that was cluttered before especially with my son's new just being far nicer and smaller of a footprint. It has taken a lot longer to get to the actual building of the new dresser due to the fact that we are trying to be conscious of our waste and or the amount of trash we are putting out there so we are saving any wood pieces I can reuse especially for the kitchens storage that needs a wooden shelf layer on the bottom which we have installed, on top of tool that we can reuse and any hardware so long as it is in good condition and especially the rails as we can use those for projects anytime and we are taking our time to make sure we don't damage anything while being able to salvage as much as possible for future projects. Also, we just did a lot of work on our media center for our main room's TV area and we did some cable management and running lines with those little white cable channels. Not to mention we bought a second Smart IR blaster to increase the number of rooms that we are using6. It's just very convenient. We had to get some butterfly bolts that were massive in order to put some more support in the shelving units in the office because well flipping around the storage and inventory idea of using the PC shelves the ones above the PC strictly for component storage and motherboards and whatnot which is what I'm And then any of my text stuff and organizing will be far fewer56 items and more organized so it will take less room and are easily going to be put on one bookshelf because the office is going to have less furniture but hopefully a brand new feature that I can't talk about yet until it is done which is going to be after I finish building our brand new closet. It is much work and we have been doing a stellar amount and smashing it. Not to mention the kitchen looks amazing and we are just absolutely proud of how much we have been able to downsize without filling up waste.
tech retiring, wriing, + SO MUCH MORE!
June 22nd, 2023 @ 1:33 A.M.So today will be a lot of the same for the most part, except I have to edit our latest episode of the podcast as it is supposed to release today. I am packing up the car right now with all types of laptops and printers old old and donating them to an electronics retirement home drop-off center if you will. It was just brought to my attention at this place exists and I would love to get rid of all this stuff I can't exactly put in the normal trash. I just finished packing up on a dolly to take from my back door basement apartment all the way around to my car without having to make multiple trips and exacerbating my health conditions. That's time for an Oreo frappe cuz those are addicting and I need it. We signed up for a WeChat app name and got it and it will be adding it to our contact us list with a picture of the QR code you can scan to easily seamlessly add us to your own WeChat account. We are still exploring some of the tools Linus from Linus tech tips informed us about and just really enjoying the time-saving and amazing benefits of it like a USB bootable drive I have made that will allow me to connect to the internet and use a ton of different sources to choose which operating system ISO I went to boot into and install or just use as an attorney operating system to run diagnostics or tests as well as different testing tools It is really cool. It'll definitely save me some legitimately insurmountable time running diagnostics on clients' computers or saving data. There's also one that comes with its own specific data recovery next-level software. Also, I just installed the graphical user interface for our version of Chocolatey which is a power tool You install through the Windows Powershell software which allows us to go from a fresh Windows install to installing a huge amount of different tools and software in the background without having to do much it'll grab it from its location it'll update your Windows install and it will draw the necessary prerequisites as well as program it to stay completely up to date on its own without having to check for updates or run through that hole rigmarole and does it all for you in a beautifully easy manner and automated process. We've also got probably an insane amount of applications and programs similar to Win tools which are used to collect all the power shell and optional Windows features and combine them into one place for easy use and programming. Then there's MediaCat USB which is an extremely helpful tool for ransomware recovery, malware removal, password removal, partitioning in disk utilities as well as other backup and data recovery or shredding tools that make it absolutely niche but clutch for us to use here at the company. Now about the podcast just a heads up my brother is heading out to Mexico for vacation from July 30th to August 6th and we will not be recording a new episode this weekend as it's just not feasible for him to realistically to the pack and preparation work he needs to do and record an episode of the podcast while being prepared which we wouldn't want so we will be on break until after that August 6th date and the weekend that proceeds it. Once again for some reason, we need to re-too all of our virtual machines because with the Windows install being brand new apparently it turns off our support for virtualization and needs to be re-enabled in the bios. As I'm working on the app upgrades again and need to reinstall the Windows and Android subsystem. Not to mention I want it for the Linux subsystems that should have been working but now makes sense. This all happened while we were trying to install our visual basic software tools and so forth. I got to fix our house is great too because the backyard keeps getting open the dogs are going to get loose if only they actually weren't lazier than any human I've ever met. On top of that we have a lot of data to download and shift so there's a lot going on. Oh yes, also our security system we are trying to use our camera operating 24/7 to capture motion whenever I enter a room and automate the lights but they're controlled by different software but to work with Google Home so hopefully that'll be something we can do. They are ready to turn on motion sensors and sirens and also alert my phone when any activity is sensed when I leave my address with my phone. Now as far as it comes to digital artwork and the portfolio I found a way to add some neat animations to some of my photography samples and logos and I have added them to the portfolio they're very sections and where they belong as well as the Future finished project section so that you guys can check that out I'm quite proud of the work we do here. I have downloaded some of the more obscure home automation networks and operating systems that run on Raspberry Pi's and servers you make out of them and I have a raspberry pi underneath the desk already connected to the network running less than stellar and more frustrating than helpful automation network already as well as the retro pie that I made that runs a cool little arcade that is connected to the Xbox so when you load up the one guy it loads up and you can pick up the console from anything from before GameCube and play any of the games released on the North American market as well as when you highlight a game it shows the cartridge or disc artwork as well as the title artwork and has the manual and the cover of the box that I came in as well as a video that automatically plays if you wait a few seconds that shows some of the gameplay in action so you know what you're going to play. Anyways the original home automation script was a spout as useful and helpful as my personal luck. Still trying to get a hang of our 3D printer and honestly, something I think I really need to do is because the sit-stand desk is so naturally against any kind of obsessive-compulsive cable management, and moving up and down I have an issue with some of the wiring and it makes me cringe and nervous every time I lift or lower it so I'll be absolutely dismantling the wiring from the entire system setup and both computers and redoing it which means I'll probably get rid of a lot of unnecessary stuff that was not removed or just no longer needed some redundant cables and fix a lot of issues. I'm about to go get dinner and currently, I'm trying to sideload the app into Windows but it just does not seem to be very happy with me at all I've got to say that I was just absolutely surprised and blown away by the fact that I hit F5 which is refreshed on my Chrome browser to check to see what our most recently released YouTube shorts views have been doing since the last time I checked at 10:00 a.m. and we're in the process right now of going viral boys! The excitement right now as I hit refresh every few seconds and it jumps up another hundreds of views is unparalleled. Anyways off to video edit!
FINISHED, CLEANING, TEMPLATES, WEB STORE + PODCAST!
June 10th, 2023, @ 3:58 P.M.
Well, today has been about optimizing a crazy amount of things, automation, programs, the website, and even our office storage! We have definitely gotten a lot done and are Being super productive here at the office today. Some great news is we're now going to be using the Elgato face cam to be filming all of our podcast episodes from now on. This will allow us to make TikTok previews and short for YouTube that will promote the podcast instead of making silly little clips about nonsense that has Nothing to do with the podcast. It'll be 1080 at 60 frames per second and will feature both Brad and I. However, just 20 minutes ago after I was able to get home safely despite the U-Haul driver who tried to t-bone kill me after driving through a red light. My editing monitor suddenly became a frozen lake during the winter and just cracked right in front of me without any touch or provocation. I have written an email to the scepter and I'm hoping it goes well it's less than a year old However they're going to probably claim it is damaged or accidental damage or an impact that is on my side of the warranties arrangement. However I sent an unlisted YouTube video showing the rest of the office and studio with all the equipment in working order, every screen perfectly working, the monitor arm, the desk and it being set up so there wouldn't be any damage. I sent all the photos the receipt and the Amazon order It was ordered in September 2nd, 2022, is a gift for my dad and it's not even a year old. Hopefully, it's within the service window and I'll take care of it I'll keep you guys posted. On the positive side, I did order a new microphone boom arm for Brad and his side of the recording studio. I set up your gotcha face cam for recording podcast episodes, as well as I bought the course air K 100 optical-mechanical keyboard. I’ll be switching it out with my own white bottom black topped putting ABS double shot keycaps. I also bought a replacement for the Google Chrome cast / Google TV remote I had to get because my son lost the original remote.
I'm working with a hopefully able-to-keep Roomba I robot mop/vacuum that is powerful enough to actually do all of the rooms here including my office with its raised rug, it is a pretty badass little smart system. Just hoping I can keep it!
Now when it comes to the podcast I have some crazy news! It looks like I'm going to be doing my little brother Brad a favor and taking over for the editing and I'm actually going to be doing it through video as I'm going to be capturing through our Elgato face cam podcast video for now on, and mixing it with the audio by the direct source and then taking that audio after it's edited and sending it out to our Spotify and other audio-only platforms However this will allow us to add things in post We can put text on the screen to cite sources or give links to things for discussing or to drop hints and rewards and maybe even giveaways. We can promote our social media, we can use these clips to actually post on YouTube shorts and TikTok instead of trying to capture the Zeitgeist of nonsense ever-changing I'm too old to keep up pulp culture viral tidbits and instead just promote the actual podcast through its funniest clips and/or curiosity or mine changing clips! It also allows us to use the green screen in the background to remove the background and add things in the background to make sure people are paying attention and focusing because you never know what will do or what we might give away or what kind of giveaway our podcast In order to keep it fresh and unique. Also, it allows us to remove the background room echo as well as do two layers of denoise so if we keep the fan on low or medium we can actually still record without it interfering and thus keeping the temperature down! Also, we're going to be using podcast clips from viral videos and whatnot and discussing it live and reacting and showing the clips in the least amount of the way we can we'll probably react to it just off-screen or blur it out and then give you a link. But this way the podcast will be more interactive and give us more chances to have different material.
That being said I'm also going to be getting this little office and bedroom and my son's room section its own smart thermostat put in very shortly in order to cool down the office to a certain temperature, maintain a cool temperature for the rest of the area and have it shut off whenever it's unnecessary or turn on whenever it's getting too hot. In order to save the rest of the house money.IT'S SUPER EARLY &; EVERYTHING IS WHERE IT SHOULD BE.
May 29th, 2023, @ 3:36 A.M.
Well, We finally have everything done in the office and in the apartment. The couch came yesterday and was put up together real quick and then we had four shelves put up andI'mma sp then I had likae six shells put up in the office. We got our new vacuum which works perfectly when it's actually charging. My podcast partner got my old desk at his house now. That's finally now at his house, we are all hung up, and everything is actually complete. Now, I'll spend the rest of tonight working on the store that's online and the templates and whatnot so keep an eye out for that!
ALL COMING TOGETHER, WELL MOSTLY!
May 28th, 2023 @ 5:28 A.M.
Well, the shelving got here and I put up two already need to do two more which I am using for the new sound system I have set up for the podcast recording and editing and just general media enjoying. The desk is 100% put together and so is all the wiring and it might be my Magnum opus in cable management I went from like 60% more cable management space underneath the desk to just one little basket but I made it work I got creative. I moved the storage shelves up one whole foot of clearance in order to accommodate the full length of the sit-and-stand desk. I got to admit I absolutely love this thing. Then our couch arrived put together pretty quick and easy Actually it was pretty painless. It's already sitting there looking a little low to the ground but it's nice to Have a couch I can lay on again, it has a removable cup holder, and then folds out to a bed for my son It's pretty nice. I've got the AIO installed in the NAS and it's running once again thankfully. I'm going to switch the fans out on my AIO on the editing rig for non-RGB ones. Then I should be good to go and put it back on the mount. Then I'll hang the last two shelves and speakers on them and then start the computer up and do a lot of work on there. I've got a postage update and checked the YouTube channel, answering all of the RMA's emails from Corsair and Elgato. Then I gotta work on Facebook posts that are dealing with the potential "Legends Never Die, Celebrate The Life" event which is the name I'm currently working with, and have come up with some graphics, and ideas for the event and hosting.
FURNITURE, VACUUM, HOUSE STUFF, AND UPDATES!
May 23rd, 2023 @ 10:04 P.M.
So we released a ton of new content on TikTok and Instagram immediately and it's been scheduled on YouTube shorts of course putting us even further into the future for daily releases at 10:00 a.m. We ordered a new couch and a new coffee table in order to finally have the setup we wanted. Soon we'll be doing the painting as well. A friend of ours managed to give us a green screen so now we'll be using that for sketches as well! I emailed Corsair for some RMA and check support on some of their items because I've had four different USB cords of theirs go bad on items where the cord is hardwired into the hardware. They sent me a couple of their Elgato stream decks and a face cam! So we might be using the face cam to record the podcast from now on. We'll see if we can get our faces in the shot equally Would love to add a video to the podcast for future episodes. As well as record clips to promote on TikTok and YouTube with shorts. We got our vacuum in finally and it works amazingly Happy to have that back! I am currently putting back together the computer with the new AIO and the sit-stand desk that I absolutely love is getting rebuilt and put back together the setup is going to be much better with its cable management this time.
I kid you not guys This desk is far more of a problem-maker than it is a problem solver To be honest I'm already nostalgic for my old desk. Putting together that desk cable management and holding basket was probably one of the most difficult things I've ever done in a build or furniture or anything at all to be honest I have never experienced such pure hatred and frustration! Not only that but the darn thing gave me a concussion. However now that I've got the monitor stand on it and all of the surge protectors and power bars are perfectly installed, along with the two USB hubs a third already planned for the right area, the RGB strip is placed and works perfectly. The slack needed for the difference in sitting length and standing length for the cables has been accounted for and set in a cable run hider. I've set up everything next is the monitors and then I'm going to finish installing the AIO I've already put the Corsair Elte Platinum H100i RGB AIO in the NAS Server, and my Main editing rig has been upgraded with two four-terabyte drives, and the NZXT Kracken LCD AIO, which I upgraded with two Corsair LL120 Fans to keep within my iCue controlled RGB lighting. Next, I'll be adding ambient lighting that matches the monitor's exact colors to the back of them so that they light up the wall behind it. I've just got to account for the AIO run for the tubes and install the cooler block on the CPU for both machines. Then I'll be back up and running and then I'm going to reach out to everyone who said they wanted to be a part of the Flo Leeds event and speak to them and Get a list of who's offering to do what and who wants battles and I'm going to directly contact ALR rink members old and new, and get them involved. Then I will be scheduling content, making graphics and videos for the event, scheduling things, and booking for the rest of the day so, wish me luck!EPISODE, TRAILERS, TEMPLATES, NEW PODCAST VIDEO, & #ALRINC, POSTS+
May 20th, 2023 @ 12:34 P.M.
So I've had a productive week with a tooth issue and then a sliced finger I've been doing just exceptionally nothing for too long. So today I got back to work! The offices do Smart Vacuum should be here by Sunday or at least that's what FedEx estimates the time of arrival. We've got Garbage haulers coming in to get rid of all of the remaining drywall and project scrap from the foundation repair and other things. They're coming in Saturday and it'll be nice to get rid of a lot of that. Today I cleaned and created a ton of new templates and designs, I updated the store and the appropriate portfolio sections, as well as the finished project section. We made a couple of new app templates, and made two new trailers for our own app! We also dropped a brand new video for our podcast for now on it will be using that template which we think is much nicer than the one we have been using. A lot more professional looking easy to update, separates the intro music from the actual podcast, as well as adds amazing sound effects to all of the transitions and text effects. Check it out in the finished projects and or commercial portfolio
We getting a new vacuum, getting rid of our big ass leather couch, and getting a new fold ouch couch bed combo for my son, and then the newest office upgrade we are doing is getting this darn office painted at least first and foremost, then we are changing out the table with a sit, stand 3 automatic setting lift table. With cable managing underneath and perfect for the monitors monitoring to the arm, the new secondary mic boom arm. The wall mount PC and its new LCD AIO are better placed, replacing the mount for it as well. Put all these motherboards and GPUs back in their boxes and get the shelving back setup and the products put away and inventoried once again like they should be! We also have a second smart vacuum and galaxy/wall art projector for the office lighting alone. Getting a second more suitable office podcast recording chair for my cohost Brad.
Now let's talk Battle Rap, Felipe Lopez "Flod Leeds" Cody Codes Hahn, Kevin Warner, and the legends for a second, As well as #ALRINC the original meaning and promo team! It's just a vague idea currently but if you CLICK HERE, it'll take you to a Facebook post I made on my personal profile discussing a potential charity event specifically for the purpose of raising funds for Felipe "Flo Leeds" Lopez's family and perhaps his girlfriend. I would like to raise some money for them to help them in their time of the morning to show them that he was 100% loved and inspired and made a massive impact on thousands of people possibly. #ALRINC the battle rap promotional team have a resurgence of videos, graphics, logos, and representation of my personal promo efforts & a way to say thanks to them and the R.IP. legends never forgotten.
We scheduled a podcast episode to be released tomorrow at noon, it's the freshest and most professional and nicest video for the podcast yet! Let us know what you think!
The new smart vacuum should arrive today soon, and my new sit-stand desk should be getting installed soon. The paint matching is getting done this weekend and the couch and all the other trash is going out Monday. Things should start finally getting back to our version of normal soon. Just did a massive emptying of the primary fish tank cleaning all the toys and moving the tanks back over where they belong. Getting the motherboards the GPUs and all the inventory back on the shelving. Finally going to get the doors on my darn headboard installed. The new office equipment and the new bedroom furniture and upgrade should finally be coming together soon It's about time I'm tired of living like this.
Creating some more templates and designs for the digital store They will be added to the portfolio section and the online template shop as necessary and where they belong as well as the finished project section.
Brad and I might be recording a remarkable 26 episode where he'll be drinking straight whiskey and I'll probably be slamming back too many easily drinkable Jack and Cokes and getting four more inebriated than standard so look forward to that special episode I'm sure we'll rediscover editing for that one at least. Especially if we record tomorrow where I have like six subjects to talk on? Oh man, we're professionals!
We will be releasing an app notification later today about an hour before the 10:00 a.m. release. So hope you all see that! Does anybody read these If so could someone go to work and sign up for the chat or forms It would mean the road to me we've got close to 100 downloads and 80 people have kept the app installed so it's a good turnaround rate and I know people are receiving the notifications and went devices and phones they have? Would you believe that I have a 100% Android base install? Haha. Yeah since we're only on Android.APP UPDATES, STORE CHANGES, AND MORE!

Now also we just made about 60 different desktop backgrounds and put them in the wallpaper section as well as the latest projects. We mixed them in with the entire insane amount of gifts and animations we made. The amount of content we have pushed out and just the last few days is insane over 300 finished project updates. We also added a storefront to the app too and sent out a simple little update for the app that went live without needing to update it from the Google Store and is automatic and already released we're going to set a notification to let everyone know about the new updates.

It's exactly 30 minutes and is some downright I'm leaving video celebration of Felipe Manuel Lopez, RIP to you, my friend.

Just going to update the app news page now.APP UPDATED AND MORE NEWS
May 1st, 2022 @ 10:20 A.M.
Well oh my, the app is officially here! Spending the whole day focused on getting the Felipe Lopez video out as well as fixing my Smart vacuum and finishing all of the custom graphics I needed for the app I'll tell you what we did a lot We added a ton of new games, we put the chat back we customized every single solitary graphic within the chats I mean there isn't an unoriginal piece of work on that entire app It's insane We worked really hard on it and we're really proud of it. There are some new pieces of content when you needed to make to get the app out sitting in the finished product and various template sections on the profile we're eating individual belong for the portfolio. I'm still working on the Felipe Lopez tribute video. Then after that, I will be creating a much more extravagant and beautiful trailer for the app. So we added a member-only section for the app, along with we have added all of our downloads sections like the wallpaper, the wallpaper engine, video game downloads, and everything else is there in its Loose Reality section. Along with our web pulls which we decided to put on there as well as our digital products and our company merch and blogs and a little contact us section. We created a portfolio section for the app and also added a ton more games. We have to add a bunch of extra videos to the scheduled YouTube releases as well so, we're at the end of October as far as that goes. Also, we just uploaded some pictures for Twitter covers and whatnot they're in the template section of course. Now I made a new commercial for our app because TikTok in its infinite wisdom banned our video for fraud. On one of our accounts but on their other account it worked perfectly fine and was nothing wrong with it Go TikTok with your junior-level love stupidity it is just the best. We uploaded it to our TikToks and our YouTube to know everything else now So look out on that.

Well, I am going to be releasing my beautiful tribute video that wants this day goes live we'll probably be already live and ready and uploaded. Shared everywhere for our beloved Felipe Manuel Lopez who passed away. He was a close personal friend of mine and a very core member of the ALRINC group.. I'm also having to work on a YouTube thumbnail that I uploaded to our latest projects section as well as the tribute video. Now after that, I have to fix my son's computer by trying to see if I can figure out if it's a power supply issue that's making the screen flicker whenever he starts a game. We updated the portfolio section of YouTube banners and added a spot for the new ones. We created a ton of new YouTube thumbnails and template designs and put them in the portfolio section under social media so if you want to see those check them out there. In fact, we have created a ton of new visual artwork for various types of Facebook, banners ads, and albums, plus a ton more in the content section under recent projects. Also, we are completely at the end of October as far as it comes to the content schedule for 10:00 a.m. every day from now till then.
MR AMERICA, APP UPDATES, CONTENT, & MORE!
April 21st 2023 @ 4:15 P.M.
So we've got to make a few changes to our Google Play application or rather digital application, but it should be done pretty soon. We are excited we have made a commercial for it, it's ready to release on all the channels and content creator apps. We just released a second video for the Mr. America event they're doing with kettlebell Sports. Working on drawing up some contracts for clients and possible PC upgrades and custom build for some new customers. For some reason, I keep thinking it's Saturday when it's only Friday. So we've made it all the way to the end of September when it comes to our video and shorts pre-scheduling the future releases for our YouTube shorts. Also if you get a chance check out The updated digital templates purchase page and our services and products page because we have added some new digital downloads that you guys can purchase directly from the website, along with a couple of new services that we offer and a breakdown of them on the services page. We will be adding a ton of new templates that are able to be purchased via buying the template straight from our web page using PayPal, credit card, stripe, Zelle, and many others. So that's area will be growing quickly so keep an eye on that! Our templates are Very affordable and make having your own graphics without having to learn Photoshop or go in-depth trying to figure it all out and will impress anybody you show it to and once you purchase the template you can pay either a smaller price in order to be aware that this graphic besides how you customize it could show up on other business or personal sites or be used by others, there will still be no trademark by us or anything that will denote that it's anything other than your product. Since the app needed a few tweaks to it I have been adding custom icons for the menu and changing some little graphical things. Hope it looks that much better! Also, we added the newest videos to the latest projects and uploads section as well as the portfolio go check it out! Time to take a little break and play some raytraced Cyberpunk 2077!

Also, we are adding a ton of new games to our Steam account which is all now downloading for us. For some reason the last two days we've been getting dozens upon dozens of different ads to our TikTok feed and we're getting tons of content likes and reaches we are so proud of it. We have 110 videos scheduled between today and the 29th of July which is one per day so we're 110 videos ahead of schedule. Ain't that something? Also, we updated the podcast website to feature a little new section on the front page that'll tell you if we are currently in the middle of a delay for recording or releasing an episode or what's going on. That's on top of the fact that we've changed everything down to the fonts the colors the theme to the navigational menu everything has been changed completely overhaul we hope you like it. If you haven't noticed we definitely went over some of these web pages sections and spell-checked and changed a few things around so we hope you like that too.

We're definitely excited about that and we hope you guys check it out. Let us know what you think we put a ton of effort and poured a lot of time into this so we hope you love it! We worked on a ton of SEO behind-the-scenes type settings and details, but we didn't ignore the front end! With the podcast website getting an entire facelift each page gets its own personal touch and update. We actually put the podcast website down to a smaller more centralized and contained amount of pages. We did the same thing for this website as you can tell. We also finally finished our link dump and fixed that up properly. We are currently awaiting the full transfers of our domain names to our web hosts and will be pointing to our official website now! That's already set up and done. Also, our YouTube shorts are now set up all the way until September 6th, my birthday actually! We fixed a ton of spelling errors in updates and all over the web pages. We did amazing work on our app! Not only did we update it but, there's a new download link, and we're working on getting it on the Google Play Store ASAP! We're also adding new languages to our web pages, first, we're doing Spanish and then we'll do other languages next. We're working on starting an app just for the podcast and surfing through episodes and the hosts and membership content.
Early Morning, So we've got our Google developer certificate and account. We've started really customizing the final version of the Version 5.0 app with custom icons and graphics, fonts, videos, and sounds! As soon as we release our Loose Reality Inc app on the play store and download it from the company website we will be launching a #ALRINCTV App alongside it. This isn't just for the podcast but will feature an episode list, with each episodes descriptions, youtube video, Spotify link, apple link, RSS feed, automated transcript, chapters for each episode, and special behind-the-scenes content, it will keep you up to date to the minute of delays and reschedulings, it will feature our reviews, suggestions form, subject and topic request form, an episode calendar, a youtube shorts video collection, it'll be a scrollable feed of every one of our YouTube shorts and another scrolling feed for our Twitter, Instagram, the Facebook page, as well as specific social media feeds and links to the host's personal sites, it'll have members only section with special content, downloads, graphics, backgrounds and more. There will be an always-available drop message with the whole community feature like a guestbook that's interactive. We will post previews and sneak peeks here as well. Plus the Podcast website and #ALRINC websites will have their full page via the app as well. Very handy. I will eventually have this entire #ALRINCTV app as a subsection of the Loose Reality Inc app, but that will be later on down the road. Working on Google Analytics, and Facebook Pixel, and researching some Snapchat promotions for the podcast by purchasing some ads. I want to approach the more vibrant, active, and online-orientated crowd and demographic. We are just currently awaiting to be approval should be less than 12 hours from now!LOGO, CONTENT, SHORTS, WEB PAGE & CHANGES!

MR. AMERICA, PODCAST DELAY, CONTENT, & MORE!
April 5th, 2023 @ 8:51 A.M.
Just 2 hours away from yet another YouTube short being released so make sure you check that out! Also, we have content literally scheduled all the way until the end of July currently. This is not an exaggeration We have been working hard on getting a ton of quantity when it comes to our shorts, but without losing any of the quality and we've managed to smash that expectation! These videos are great and we do love them one of the reasons we added a YouTube shorts playlist page to the website is because of how excited we are with the content coming soon for you guys. Make sure you keep an eye on it because you're not going to want to miss it. Now I am happy to announce that the Mr. America Kettlebell group of Maryland is happy with the event video that I put together and so am I there were two drafts that I put up on the YouTube page so you guys can see it there if you want. I'm fairly happy with my results after all. And I would definitely say that my skill level has improved trifold. Especially after buying the new Filmora version which is the video editing software we use, It is just amazing and easy to use not to mention has a plethora of cool and useful elements. Now onto the unfortunate news of the fact that we have not been able to record our podcast episode as of yet It is Wednesday, April 5th as I talk now and I don't see the episode being recorded before this weekend unfortunately. We were trying to get in and record Monday however unfortunately Brad was to change at work. We are still working towards trying to get it this weekend for release not record but we will see and we'll keep you guys posted as always of course. Now let's talk about the plethora of content we uploaded from our template designs. So far we have created a huge amount of brand new content we are 17 videos deep when it comes to the content we've created for just today on the YouTube channel for Loose Reality, we've posted them in the finished project section and the commercial section of the portfolio we are still working as we go. No, it's time to do some grocery shopping and pick up dinner and I will get back to work when I get home. As we have a ton of new TikToks to put together our funny content just for you!
3 MONTHS OF SHORTS, A NEW CLIENT, & WORKING!
April 4th, 2023 @ 3:48 P.M.
Okay what's up, everybody? I'm excited to let you know that we have all the way up until June 17th In scheduled content to release for you guys to check out on our YouTube shorts and all of our other video accounts like Instagram and we also do TikTok of course and the other locations which you can find in the video section of our links. It's really exciting to get this far in our views and the fact that each one of our YouTube shorts is accumulating anywhere from 5,000 views two up to multiple tens of thousands I mean you guys have no idea how excited we are and how it's blown us away in terms of just growth and hard work we've been doing and you guys are just out there laughing up our content and bringing up the views and leaving comments and just downright being amazing on a level we could not ever repay or show you in some silly kind of display or thank you because it just wouldn't do it justice, to be honest, You guys are amazing and we thank you so much. We definitely have an amazing bunch of content planned for our next little recording session for our podcast hopefully that goes down tonight because unfortunately it's just been a bunch of delays and issues that are interrupting the recording of this episode. Some of these little shorts we have and videos we are releasing are just perfect pieces of content we created and worked really hard on original reoccurring thematic episodes of content it's great We can't wait to show you guys. It works really hard on maintaining a bunch of quantity videos without leaning on losing our quality and I think we've maintained a very good balance. Not to mention we had a message from one of our viewers on tick tock who told us that they have been watching our content for quite a while and that they were excited to talk to us and let us know that some of our content made them laugh and made them feel okay to be able to say certain things on the internet without fear of being canceled or persecuted for having an opinion and that he felt trapped online these days and he was scared even to speak but now he's made his own channel and has his own content that is politically related and is pretty amazing coming from the fact that he got his inspiration to start this project based on watching our videos and I can't tell you how much that is amazing and exciting to me and I have given him a little bit of a shout out and push to keep going by keeping him listed in our links and sharing his content on our YouTube channel so go check that out. Also, guess what? We have a new client We are going to be doing a video series for local events that are going to be doing a kettlebell event and it is associated with Mr. America Like there just seems to be a lot of cool things coming out of this guy's camp connected to what he's doing and the event that he's throwing and we're going to be putting together a promotional video for them, it'll be advertising what they're going to be doing and all the information about the event and how you can get to be a part of it and just promoting and technically a commercial for the event itself basically. He asked me if there was any chance we could get the video out by Friday and I have already started on it collected the video that he wanted to feature in it for background information and an example of what they're doing and I'm downloading those now and we're going to make a great video for him and this event and I think he's going to love it absolutely. Not to mention that he just told me they are going to need a website soon and just generally going to be employing my services when they need which is exciting to hear I always love bringing on your clients. We welcome you to the Loose Reality family! We had to renew our Filmora yearly package for our video editing software and our catalog of extra content elements. We use them for video editing when we make special features and kinds of video edits that you would use for text or shapes or background features and music as well. Then I had to renew our other software used for editing so it's been a fun day of spending money, it's okay this month I have been actually doing about double the business we typically do so it's been exciting. We're working towards streamlining many of our service efforts and expanding the products and services list itself so be on the lookout for that. I will tell you this over the course of the next few days I'll have that video done but I will also have a ton of new YouTube closing videos and intro videos and some other content that is going to be made in template form for our users for our subscribers as well as for the sale of course and those will be up on the finished project and portfolio sections soon enough I'll let you guys know when we're done with them. Currently, we've already got a couple that we've already uploaded so go check those out right now if you can! Until then have a good one, everybody!

March 30th, 2023 @ 7:40 A.M.
Thank you everyone for the almost 100k views on our YouTube shorts in the last 10 days alone! Do you have any idea how crazy that is to me?

SO MANY MORE ICONS, VIDEOS, CONTENT, AND NEWS!
March 27th 2020 23 @ 10:22
Well, I felt like there was just such a large amount of content to be added to our two pages I added the icons and other things we've been doing lately to the portfolio section there are two new pages there. Then after I went and took my dad to see John wick 4 where the real villain is that stairway At the end of the film men that guy was a douche screw those steps! Anyways I decided to add the entire playlist of all of our Shameless Promo widows, then another page for the YouTube podcast playlist videos, and finally one that Will have every single video we've released all of our stores and skits and videos all on YouTube shorts playlist easily navigable via the update that just got pushed live to the podcast website which we also changed up on its template and graphics cuz it needed a little facelift that made it easier to navigate after adding that content I also updated the main page of it and I sent out a little bit of an update on the app too which is going to have some major changes to it so make sure you go download the new version of that if you haven't once you try to open it'll tell you there's a new version It automatically sends it to the download page because I am this dang good at multitasking productivity! I have a ton of super great content We released on TikTok including a social experiment and then the video I already had prepared for it where everybody was thinking I was saying either something offensive or they were offending me by making gay jokes as if I didn't say that directly before in the video as a playful pun. It basically equates down to no I didn't get one haircut I got all of them cut or high hungry I'm pun level of pun. Purposely vague, not offensive or insulting to anyone, and is just a dad pun I used to set up people and expose them for being a different person in their social media posts than they are in the comments which are not woke it's Faux. I have some content for the podcast where I talk about my patent pending caps lock equality versus real quality, I have some hilarious new experiences to talk to y'all about and there are like a hundred different podcast script points that we're going to go over and it's going to be one hell of an episode next time it recording season. Plus if you haven't checked it out yet we have fixed the podcast playlist and uploads on the YouTube channel and it's got a new graphical video to play in the background It has a ton of little VH1 blurbs if you know what that is. I honestly have so many videos and so many pieces of content scripts to condense and videos to edit that it's a little overwhelming but you guys know that when I am in productive mode I really don't stop until I crush as much as I can However I have a video chat date that I must keep with someone special here shortly from now! It's been a great few days people I am feeling positive and upbeat my mental health is in check I'm happier right now and I have it in a long time.
THINGS GET BUILT, DATA WORK, WEB FIXES, & PODCAST NEWS!
March 24th, 2023 @ 8:00 P.M.
So, yes of course We have finally gotten all of our furniture built and put together that's actually been completed for some time now we've just been focused on doing a myriad of other work before posting multiple little updates We wanted to just make one large update like this one is about to be. First of all, right now we're doing some data work and shifting some things on the NAS and storage server. While also rendering the video version of our podcast for release tomorrow! That's right since we're behind a week I decided to release it on Saturday instead of Sunday. Also, I'm currently working on trying to squeeze together as much input as I can to gather as many talking points as I can for us to record an episode tomorrow as well so that we can make up for the lost time we have. Currently, I am multitasking on a number of things including getting my games reinstalled on my NAS server, I use it as a place to store all the files locally on all the games I install after mapping it as a network drive from my editing rig and my NAS itself, it also runs the games for my son's PC so he saves her drive space. It serves as a steam cache space but with all games instead of just steam. I did a ton of cleaning Because my son had gotten me sick and I fell behind somewhat. But now that all my furniture is built and everything's put together it does look quite nice. Fixed up the headboard and my bed railing real nicely with some ambient lighting that is based on motion so if you wake up in the night it'll light your way up so you can see. And then some at the headboard lighting up my charging stations and whatnot I'm also going to finally get the doors onto the headboard itself. I did a ton of episode synopsis, description, and title renaming throughout the RSS and Spotify feeds, the YouTube playlists, and the podcast playlists, as well as did an auto transcript for the podcast RSS feed so now you can have your closed caption. Although I think it's quite awesome There are people who are deaf reading podcasts, that's pretty cool in my opinion. I created a ton of new possible YouTube ending subscribe to this channel and watch these playlists videos on both the business channel and the scheduled hour's latest podcast episode which is a banger I promise you! It is coming out tomorrow which will be Saturday the 25th of March. So mark your calendars. I mean if you have to, I have that bad today memory so don't worry. Speaking of YouTube! You guys are absolutely murdering the view counts on our videos on our YouTube shorts are TikToks are growing steadily as well as the subscribers to our TikTok channel. Even now as I sit here and write this the views are going up and I cannot express to you guys how much it means to me! Well, here at Loose Reality Inc and #ALRINCTV we all love you so much! Created icons for Loose Reality Inc, Battle For Benefits Project, and Get Off Our Lawn! (The original podcast name before we went with what we have now), #ALRINCTV, and a ton of other projects or things that we are involved with.
FINALLY, FURNITURE, BUILDING THE OFFICE, AND MORE!
March 7th, 2023 @ 7:03 A.M.
Man, I'll admit I'm exhausted every problem that I have come across has had a million different problems that offspring from that one. Seems to be that every issue has an issue that has issued out to disrupt me. However, the bed is built and back together and looks amazing. I'm happy The results in the build overall were pretty quick, easy, and painless. We've got a lot of content coming up so far we have the next month of content planned on release for the YouTube shorts each day and the episode will be released and we are excited to be recording Wednesday because Sunday did not happen actually unfortunately Brad was sick and we had to reschedule. Well, I've got to admit I am kind of annoyed because YouTube just dropped this whole podcast section for the channels by creators and now I am steadily uploading all of the episodes back to the actual podcast section then redescribing, renaming uploading a thumbnail, and just a bunch of other tedious tasks that are adding time. We also managed to get our game drive working so pretty much everything with the editing rig is 100% again which we are so happy with.
APP UPDATE, RECORDING SESSION, PC FIXED + MORE!
March 6th, 2024 @ 5:00 P.M.
There was a bug in the website code that was for text and it's a font and just a bit complicated to explain however definitely overall better looking and cohesive It looks brilliant I know some of you may not even notice but it's a big improvement regardless. Also, I finally finished my client's PC part picker list And she really liked the part where she could see how much money she saved being just under $600 total. So we finally fixed the issue with the main editing rig and reinstalled windows and we installed our RTX 3060 12 GB model It is beautiful. Plus We finally fixed our main editing rig and it works perfectly now without any issues thank God! It had been lagging on load times and with windows in general for some time and I finally fix the issue with a fresh reboot and customized everything perfectly the way I want it. So we are only releasing a short every day of the month on our YouTube channel but our TikTok gets them pretty regularly So you can check Then out early there and be able to get a sneak peek or see the whole thing before it's released on our main platform. Hey, guys do you know what's really awesome? The number of views you've been getting on the latest three or four releases! We had a very very painful slowdown and it was almost like we weren't getting any views whatsoever for a while and then suddenly the algorithm god smiled down upon us once again and now it is almost like it's blowing up and we couldn't be more proud and appreciative You guys are always just killing it out here!
RTX UPGRADE, PC BUILD, FURNITURE, LIFE CHANGE!
March 4th, 2023 @ 9:00 P.M.
Well, I haven't even gotten a chance to open the Nvidia RTX 3060 12GB Model yet. However, I have managed to not yet build any of our furniture either because I have been overwhelmingly busy with podcast promotional material and a buttload of content that we will be releasing We have over 42 tick tocks and YouTube shorts to release and that doesn't include the "1st Annual Shameless Promo Week!" Those videos are just emotional graphics and we have tons of them and we are just killing it as it comes to productivity It is a whole new level of getting work done and moving fast and working hard. I'm currently in the process of tearing down the old i7 6700 build My son had and replacing it with a rising 5 3700X, a prime B450MAII. I just finished that build and putting it together booted on the first why what a wonderful trend that I still continue to this day always boots on the first try whenever I do a build. Next, I'll be checking out my RTX 3060 12GBs Model and I'll be reinstalling windows 10 and using my actual Windows 10 key in order to get that free Windows 11 upgrade. Then I've got to build a bed frame and a dresser. There is a lot to do today. Plus I have to install all of that software over again and finish the 8 or 9 ongoing designs that I have for the 1st Annual Shameless Promo Week content. Then I'm going to go in and add the tags, the secondary description, the link cards, and the ending pages The YouTube shorts. Well, we ended up getting that upgrade for my son's computer so, unfortunately, I haven't gotten to build the bed or the dressers yet but we did get his PC built and my graphics card is the amazing smooth son of a gun! Not to mention the amount of content we have released over the next month or 12 It's absolutely hysterically insane but absolutely every video is a banger we promise!
FURNITURE BUILDING, MOVING BACK IN, UPGRADING MY LIFE!
March 2nd, 2023 @ 12:00 P.M.
Welcome back to the updates and new section of the website please All right today I've got a lot in store we're building the bed rails we already did the headboard probably going to try and see if the dresser that I have in storage is worth saving or it's been water damaged, hopefully it'll be perfect. Then I'm going to do some painting and spackling to clean up some of the damage on the walls and areas I can paint when painting the lower half of the drywall that was replaced. I got to say yesterday I built the headboard and I am absolutely in love with it is gorgeous and I'm definitely going to add a little bit of my of course RGB obsession and lighting and a charging station to it as well I have a couple of those that go under your desk and have a little charging station for my phones, My Nintendo switch and DS light, my smart watch and probably a couple RGB remotes and maybe a smart sensor for what not. Underneath the bed I already have a RGB light that lights up all the way around the bed when it senses motion like when you get in and out of bed this is good for my kid and just lighting up in the dark night so I don't step on a Lego or some stuff. I've also got to do some paint matching so that I can order the paint, I've got to move my bed frame and mattress back inside from the storage unit. Also depending on how much of the dresser I can get out I may be fairly certain of the fact that I can empty out the entire storage unit by the end of this weekend which would be amazingly helpful. It's only $99 a month storage unit but still it would have been nice if I could have done it at the end of this month but you know It has been one hell of a very uncomfortable ride but I am glad it is Just about over! It seems like I just can't have nice things because apparently my smart vacuum has decided that it is no longer going to be smart nor a vacuum my luck! It seems like the charging station or the battery itself has been damaged or both is what I feel like is happening. Which is not going to be financially feasible and replacing either one considering how cheap the unit is overall anyways. a bunch of brand new promotional videos and TikToks for the podcast that'll be releasing on both the business and the podcast channels, along with some other promos and a ton of TikTok comedy jokes where I have figured my new niece is being the guy behind the microphone in order to keep on brand with the podcast idea and just covering up the health condition that I deal with and do you ravishing of myself.
Guess what? I have a custom PC job I am doing for a client of mine She's actually a old college friend and I will drop the link right here below this text for the PC part picker list, See you guys can check out how much money she saved with me! A total of $592.50 that's just floored my client! She got two 2TB Western Digital hard drives for game storage, an 80 plus bronze modular power supply that's 650 Watts, Thermaltake Core G21 Tempered Glass Edition ATX Mid Tower Case I also supplied, since she is opposed to RGB I threw in five up here fans with the fan hub, a pair of speakers, the thermal paste and all the tools and what not and included the add-on parts I had for the thermaltake case. She also saved money through my discounts through my vendors and sponsors. The build and painting fee I'm only charging $75 for her build, Because it's local and she is a return client and friend! Typically it's $100?00 flat for a complex build, which hers is because I am also adding vinyl wraps, adhering to a strict "Anime like color palette" she sent me, which will be vinyl wrapping the PSU side panel, painting the hard drive trays, the power supply out of rim the inner metal mesh on The front of the case and the outer rim of that case front end. Plus the side panel at the bottom right hand corner will have custom text and be painted similarly. She's already loading about how much She's excited and how awesome she thinks my skills are and happy to have spent her money here with me. Going to be a fun build I can't wait to get into it! https://pcpartpicker.com/b/4kgtt6
Well I started writing out this update probably almost a full 24 hours ago and I'm just not even going to bother separating these two entries really So we got the headboard done we've got the metal bed frames already I've got a new dresser 90% of the storage unit is empty, Saturday is upgrade day!; We're going in NVIDIA full bore! I am just not able to deal with you continuous juggling back and forth with the crashing of AMG allowing windows to upgrade its driver to the utmost and untested latest driver rather than allowing the software that is sole functioning design is to keep the GPU drivers updated and allow you a way to interact with your GPUs many different options and settings as well as overclocking, and a far more advanced display settings in the standard windows even in Windows 11. And I'm constantly having to uninstall the AMG GPU software because Windows is upgraded it far past it's optional install offerings which is been ongoing for the last like 6 months at least but it's been a problem for over 2 years and I am done with AMD cards for right now. I'm going Nvidia RTX 3070 12GB Model or BUST honestly. There's just a lot more stability and larger install base and users and a help desk and just infinitely less bugs and just smoothing out process. I'll tell you what though This day has been insanely productive and busy.
Welcome everybody to the #ALRINCTV and Loose Reality Inc's very first and just now decided annual "Shameless Promo Week!" This is going to be an ongoing and probably fluid holiday celebrated by both the business channel and the podcast and sketch channels and the TikToks and Instagram's together in order to promote both the business and the podcast and sketch comedy with a plethora of brand new YouTube thumbnails, little animated graphics and gifa, full-on commercial ads, video intros or outros, simple YouTube banners and all kinds of different content and little animated bonuses that will remind you of how awesome our content is and how funny we are as well as how great our teams are at crafting and creating designs and amazing work and graphics and video celebrate with us This week and whenever we decide to do it again! Happy shameless promo week!THAT TOOK FOREVER, UPGRADES, UPDATES, & WORK FINALLY DONE?
Feb 26th, 2023 @ 9:00 P.M.
Well it looks like it's about time for me to finally have some of my house back in order. The drywall has been done and is now put back up. So I have walls they're drying off now and then next is painting. It's been an arduous and painstaking journey but we're at that last stretch in the job that very last mile of the race You know what I mean? Got some spackling and sanding to do and putting in for an order of paint to match the old paint. No, as far as the other things are concerned we have updated the podcast website with a little bit of a refresher better layout and design so that it's easier to navigate and just nicer to the eyes. We do have a bit of good news this weekend we will be upgrading to an RTX 3060 12GB Model or an AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT 12GB PowerCooler Red Devil Model. However, I am really leaning towards getting the Nvidia card as it'll just be infinitely better for rendering and for ray tracing in general as well as all other types of work that I do on the PC for clients and myself. This means I'll be updating my son's PC with a new case and plenty of RGB fans, and I'm sure he's excited to be getting a bump from his AMD RX 560 8 GB model to an AMD RX 5500 XT 8GB Model. I wish crossfire and SLI was still a thing but of course Nvidia took it from us like everything else. Anyways, I will be transferring my son's old custom painted and broken now after years of use PC components to his new case, hook up his new lighting RGB fans, program them in the bios, hook up his new video card and let him go a muck in Hogwarts Legacy, which As a sucker of a parent always spoiling my kid I bought him last weekend At least it's kept him behaved somewhat. So in the portfolio sections in their respective places and in the latest projects completion portion of the website you'll be able to see some of the podcasts latest and greatest if I do say so myself graphics, intros, motion animated graphics (as in gifs and MP4 clips), advertisements, and even little commercials that I did as of the last few hours when I was supposed to be doing some other work but it's okay so long as some work is getting done right? I do intend to at least get my metal bed frame that I just got set up so that I can at least have my actual full bed back! I've purchased a nifty little headboard and storage and nice upgrade for my bed's headboard. It's got a nice little spot where I'll put some motion lights for my son when he needs to see what he's going when he wakes up in the morning, some storage under the bed, two USB-C charging ports, two separate standard USB ports, and then two charging AC wall adapter ports, and a hidden compartment for pillows and or blankets, storage galore with the 4 nice rolling drawers under the bed, no box frame needed just mattress and the memory foam magic Tempur-Pedic brand attress pad, and then to top it all off it has a little light for reading and four different shelves, plus the top is a separate shelf. It's quite nice. We're also replacing the couch with a fold out loveseat bed, and a slide under sleepaway sleepover secondary foldable bed for my son's best friend when he stays. (adorable, He's best friends with my podcast partner and my own best friends son, It's generational now Maybe they'll carry on the podcast when we are done? Yeah right!) Also I am still annoyed about having to replace my entertainment stand which I've already done and now I'm working on replacing my coffee table that had hidden storage and a top that you could raise into a dinner or laptop table that had the perfect remote control and video game controller storage underneath. I can get one for pretty cheap on Amazon thankfully. Definitely need to do some small amount of car work today too, hopefully when it stops raining. I've already replaced my windshield wipers and headlights. I want to vacuum it out really well and also fix the stupid interior ambient lighting strips that either got knocked off during a "routine" car search after a police officer "mistakenly" took my simple lighter to be a phone I guess either that or between the bipolar weather in Maryland that's worse than my bipolar between its hot and cold in the same 10 minutes span type of conditions, either way it had ruined the decent adhesive on the back of the front lighting strips, on the driver side they fell from underneath the dashboard and the side car door well. So I'll have to replace that adhesive with even more double-sided mounting tape that I'm obsessed with and buy three or four packs a month. I know I have a problem okay I'll at least admit it isn't that the first step? Now we set up the double-sided tape replacement in the car Getting ready to do the bed rails now, did some Amazon shopping for when I am getting the headboard and d dresser as well as a pop-up coffee table, but Even then I uploaded a ton of content to the Loose Reality Inc business channel, Which is all posted in the recent projects and under motion videos and also added a section for podcast propaganda and made a little video and photo section for the podcast website figured it was due time for them to get an update. Oh lucky me I just found a whole bunch of text on this site that wasn't properly aligned and had to fix it cuz it's a measure pet peeve of mine and let me just say I am thankful that I have an updated much yet in the beginning of this year. That would have been a lot of work. Thankfully it's all fixed. Also just a heads up we added the podcast commercials to the portfolio commercials section for your viewing ease. So the rest of the evening is putting a bed together and watching the pet stay tribute battle events on the KOTD Rap Battle event. I know none of you really follow rap battle like I do but this event is lit and I'm glad to see battle rap coming back especially in memory of Pat's Stay and I'm glad the money's going to him. R.I.P. my friend, rest easy.
THE LATEST OFFICE UPDATES & COVIDE RELATED NEWS!
Feb 8th, 2023 @ 2:35 A.M.
Unfortunately, my son has caught COVID and was just here yesterday So the chances are that I might be getting sick with COVID come here shortly once it's done incesting my lungs and basically taking me down to essentially just a grave when the damage it did to my son was basically just a little bit of a cough He's barely even remotely bothered by it at all. Anyways I did manage to get a lot more work done I've got some of the stuff that goes up on the wall rearranged after the work has been done in the office and I'm just tired of living in a constant state of halfway You know what I mean? I can't eat I can't cook I can't really do anything except just live in limbo until everything is completed and has been put back together and ready to be livable again and it's just everything is dependent on this or that or the other and until it's all done at once it's a puzzle piece of Just the infinite amount of frustration and annoyance. I'm currently starving and I have to take a break from work for a bit to do some actual fun stuff myself. Then afterwards I have a chance to see if I want to replace some of my older furniture by replacing it with my newer furniture that's been sitting in storage forever and a day. I have been making a ton of new content and it is getting scheduled So far we have up until I believe the 11th of of February with two videos a day being released scheduled and well I have four more days of scheduled videos to be uploaded now and then a ton more on the server so look forward to that! I'm starving I need to eat but food seems to be escaping my home where they really don't have a lot of choice on what I eat
RGB FAULTY & DOORS + TOOLS & EVEN MORE!
Feb 6th, 2023 @ 2:40 P.M.
We've purchased new lighting because after tearing down the original and replacing it with the new one the new one stopped responding and working at all and it is just a frustrating situation all around. Not to mention the issues I've had rendering today alone. However, we are finally getting close to the point of this episode being done so I am excited to finally have that uploaded later today and released! Look forward to it being on our schedule along with a ton of hilarious jokes content. I was finally able to get my tools out of the storage pod and now the doors back onto the office and the other room so we are fully a go with the tool and hardware hanging up I have already put everything back and grabbed the plastic organizer from the shed as well so that I could get to organizing my belongings again. There is still a lot to work should be done but at least we can begin recording podcasts again I would love to know what it is hardware-wise that seems to be continuously connecting and disconnecting from my PC However one thing at a time I guess. It keeps telling me a device connected and then reconnected and it's quite the pain! I've really got to tackle some organizing of the podcast subject and content pieces so that I can keep them in order for our next episode soon.
WALL STUDS, RECORDING SOON, RGB ADDED + MORE!
Feb 5th, 2023 @ 5:00 A.M.
So we released a ton of new content on both channels, and of that we're still just now rendering the course the TikTok is definitely blown up. We also managed to completely finally repair all the studs next is the insulation and the drywall then painting and moving stuff back in we're making progress finally at least! I finished putting together my son's PC and added RGB lights to it he's going to like that I also replaced a broken string of RGB lights that ran around the desk that was fun. Did a little bit of tweaking on the data server for our clients to better serve them so hopefully they will enjoy that It should be much faster than initially It was. I moved back a lot of things and got rid of boxes as well as some of the furniture from the office's original build. Definitely winding down to the bare minimum of things inside of the storage shed now thankfully we are getting close to emptying it completely. Now we've completed the entire replacement of the studs.
WAKANDA FOREVER, REPAIRS, CONTENT + MORE!
Feb 4th, 2023 @ 11:54 P.M.
So I am about to go get some Burger King dinner because I have genuinely forgotten to eat today, whoops! However our screen came in from our sponsor and we are making a TikTok and YouTube short video for it! It moving featured on the business TikTok and YouTube, plus we have a hilarious joke based on genders and something hilarious happens you definitely go check it out! This was the first video we released today because it was just so funny I couldn't help it! My top of all that we are currently about to film the TikTok of us putting the new screen for temperatures and possibly video output on our editing rig and we are going to give it a little brief review and quick how-to video that explains what you're doing and even features a link to the download page we're hoping to be helpful at least somewhat. After that we plan on doing a lot more content for the evening! I'm writing so much content For the podcast and I was tick tock specials but definitely we are going to work on taking up the podcast material tonight I'm about to go get dinner I got to run to Dollar general for some 15 real quick and then when I get home I'm going to film those new videos and then build my son's PC work on tightening up that content and releasing what videos I can for schedule all before we start back up with working on the drywall first thing in the morning and trying to finish the studs on the last two sides of the walls. That way we can put the insulation in and then start painting. Not to mention supposedly my son will be over sometime tomorrow so I would like to have his system up and running even though I don't think he has learned to appreciate things yet. But that's part of being a teenager I suppose I will hold off on publishing this update if there's anything else I'll let you guys know soon.
WALL STUDS, RECORDING SOON, RGB ADDED + MORE!
Feb 5th, 2023 @ 5:00 P.M.
So we released a ton of new content on both channels, and of course the TikTok is definitely blown up. We also managed to completely finally repair all the studs next is the insulation and the drywall then painting and moving stuff back in we're making progress finally at least! I finished putting together my son's PC and added RGB lights to it he's going to like that I also replaced a broken string of RGB lights that ran around the desk that was fun. Did a little bit of tweaking on the data server for our clients to better serve them so hopefully they will enjoy that It should be much faster than initially It was. I moved back a lot of things and got rid of boxes as well as some of the furniture from the office's original build. Definitely winding down to the bare minimum of things inside of the storage shed now thankfully we are getting close to emptying it completely. Now we've completed the entire replacement of the studs,
WAKANDA FOREVER, REPAIRS, CONTENT + MORE!
Feb 4th, 2023 @ 11:54 P.M.
So I am about to go get some Burger King dinner because I have genuinely forgotten to eat today, whoops! However our screen came in from our sponsor and we are making a TikTok and YouTube short video for it! It moving featured on the business TikTok and YouTube, plus we have a hilarious joke based on genders and something hilarious happens you definitely go check it out! This was the first video we released today because it was just so funny I couldn't help it! My top of all that we are currently about to film the TikTok of us putting the new screen for temperatures and possibly video output on our editing rig and we are going to give it a little brief review and quick how-to video that explains what you're doing and even features a link to the download page we're hoping to be helpful at least somewhat.

DAY 1 OF DRYWALL / STUDS & REBUILDING!
Feb 3rd, 2023 @ 6:00 P.M.
So just a little update we are working on adding some awesome new ideas to our podcast channel including live streaming from our Xbox gaming sessions that I actually get into and have time for it some gaming. I will play retro games when I get the occasional chance and maybe some fallout and whatnot I'm sure Brad will play far more than me. We did start a new Twitch channel for #ALRINCTV TV game streaming. You can check that link out by clicking right here, we would appreciate it I know not everyone watches game streaming or is into it so we don't want anyone to feel pressured or like we are pushing it. Just if you like that type of content then feel free to subscribe and check us out if not then we've got plenty more for you. Now, Let's get into the nitty gritty with the upgrades we've already started making for the studio office Yes I know there's construction to be done soon and that just means it's all going to get taken apart, but it's all going to get put back together too! We are so excited! So first of all we have purchased a new 8-Port PCI-E Expansion add-on card for the NAS / storage server. This way we can add the two 8TBs hard drives we got for Christmas. Then we got bread his very own microphone arm and boom suspension stand that clamps to the desk. We have a Riser PCI-E x16 graphics card riser extension cable for mounting our AMD Radeon on RX 5500 XT Sapphire Pulse The way it's supposed to be vertically in our editing rig. This gives it a much more slick and nicer Look where it's A bit more in tune with our desired look overall considering it's a custom build and rig and all. Then we have a 3.5 IPS USB mini screen for the PC RAM, HDD, temperatures, network speeds, AIO temperatures, GPU stats and plenty more information that will all be on a sleek and skinny screen that will be mounted over the side of the power supply if it fits perfectly as the measurements tell me it will, or even better it will fit under our brand new AIO which is something we're really excited about! The temperatures on this editing rig with the 64 GB of RAM and the Ryzen 9 3900x that's 13 Cores and 24 Threads that's been generously overclocked from its typical 3.8 gigahertz base clock speed to a generous 4.5 GHz stable overclock not to mention the RAM has XMP enabled, and the AMD Radeon RX 5500 XT Sapphire Pulse is Also been given a nice little boost to its clock speeds. As well as you don't see but the wall mount is skinny yes, and behind the motherboard mount side of the case is 3 2.5 hard drives, two 3.5 hard drives for the editing scratch drive, and a 10 TBs gaming drive where my games are installed and can be ran from any of the streaming devices on the TVs, or through steam remote play on my son's computer or my laptop or even the Surface Pro, It stores the entire steam catalog for my family and the home. Plus there's a 1TB M.2 SSD That is running the operating system which is Windows 11 for the editing rig, Then I have a 500 GB SATA M.2 I use for cache on editing projects and more. So needless to say I'm sure you can understand the system can get a bit toasty to say the least You know what I mean? So to combat that we have decided to upgrade and put our Corsair h100i RGB Platinum into our server which in that toasty little case will do wonders and be amazing, That way we can upgrade to the 240 mm Corsair iCue H100i elite with the LCD display liquid CPU Cooler! I know it is silly and definitely not very useful to go and splurge as much as I did on the cooler, I love my AIOs and definitely, my course air-focused sister build ecosystem it just makes it much easier to have all of the RGB components and peripherals running off of the same software and systems. This cuts down on any over use of nonsense RGB/software for components and hardware, you've all gotten a brand new computer and seen the amount of bloatware on there I'm trying to keep the amount of software I have to install to interact with my system to a minimum. I went ahead and replaced the stupid stylus I keep losing for my Samsung Note phone. We also buy my son an Xbox Series S, So now our Xbox One, along with a huge game drive connected by USB adds a 6 TB of extra storage for games that I want to try and play eventually and just streaming apps and whatnot the regular. I also purchased the Red thumb screws and red screws I needed for my editing rig custom build so when they get here those should look nice and stand out.
We are getting ready to actually destroy that couch and chuck it into the trash, we are going to purchase a futon basically but it trundle bed, one that has a second bed underneath it so my son can have his best friend (adorably enough This is Brad's youngest son, he is best friends with my son) spend the night and crash whenever he wants. Yet still being able to fold up into a nice smaller overall physical footprint but a comfortable couch in the living room. Which will also allow me to finally have my bed nightstand and readjust the fan. I am looking to get two of the fairly cheap $29 4K, night vision, two-way talk and hear, mounting swivel HD cameras, Just for the hallway and the stairwell. I'll also be installing a proper deadbolt smart locking door for my office since my youngest son seems to be getting into having sticky fingers as of late he's getting to be at that phase I had it too, everybody who's older has all the cool stuff to him. Saving a bit of money on the back door which is the main entrance to my apartment I'm thinking I will get a clever hide-a-key or combination locking hidden or buried system for this way me getting locked out in the cold won't happen again, especially with my son. I'm also getting some electronic cabinet Smart locks that are NFC and RFID that only open with my phone tap. A smart home connection PCIe expansion card that allows for connection to my home smart system and therefore is perfect for starting with a teaching remote for with the smart home app and giving me control over some basic PC functions and turning it off and on remotely for electricity saving and just ease of use and convenience. Next, I think for doing a little more music production work We are going to get an official keyboard and beat pad for producing more music and encouraging you to do so. I'm also going to be adding to the bookshelf Bluetooth 60 w carbon fiber speaker units They got a built-in 24-bit deck dynamic 3D sound and are just decent for what I need. Going to upgrade the Smart sensors and their programming for like when I walk into the office currently the monitors pop on and the computer greets me if it's already turned on. It also turns on the lights and dims them a bit it turns on the fan that is overhead, and the TV/Raspberry Pi begins to boot into the retro PC build so that it plays retro game footage As a screensaver in the background which in turn also lights up the RGB around the TV and above it. However, The motion sensors I use to do this are pretty weak and aren't great at keeping their eyes on me so they turn off randomly that is If I were to use it program that way I only have it turn on when it notices me and then turn it off manually. Not a big deal but I can program it to do more and be more convenient and helpful with an updated motion sensor. I also want to add some go v thermometers, hydrometers, temperature gages, air quality, and humidity/weather screens that connect to the Smart home and can control whether or not to turn on the humidifier, or the dehumidifier, the apartment cooling or heating, and whatnot. I'm going to add some NFC tags on the bed, the desk, my son's desk, the back door, the stairwell going up, and the couch these are all for scanning using my phone just tapping it against the sticker will immediately set up like movie theater mode or if I'm by the door it will lock my Smart locks and, turn on my security lights turn on motion sensors for the cameras so that I get alerts, Then if I'm by the bed it'll turn off lights, set up my sleep routine preferences and whatnot even one by the fish tanks can turn off and on the aquarium lighting and set up cleaning features and whatnot very helpful! I'm looking at possibly getting a razor stream controller The keypad with the 12 haptic switchblade keys, six tactile analog dials, and eight programmable macro screen buttons, yeah I miss my Elgato stream deck and it no longer works for no reason so I am going to replace it. I'm also looking at the Sonoff Smart Wall Control Panel (Amazon search for it, It's a very unique item "SONOFF NSPanel WiFi Smart Scene Wall Switch) This basically allows me to use my Google Home and my Alexa in combination, and control everything with the flick of my wrist which I would like to put in a perfect world three of them one by my bed, one by the door leaving, one in the office however for that I will probably just get a nicer version of the Google home screen that I have. I'm also going to update my TV lighting with the Goove and visual TV LED backlights, perhaps both the living room TV and the office TV. This is a dream scene backlighting that is RGBIC and has an app control, music sync, and a camera to match within one millisecond the colors that are on the TV perfectly. It definitely adds to the ambiance and the effect of the viewing. We will be adding some 20-port or 10-port charging station massive USB hugs for the charging section for the computer desk just to use. We're looking into purchasing a green screen we can mount to the ceiling of the Studio Offices, right before the two back lights this way, We can just pull it down whenever we need to film something that requires a green screen. I also want to beef up my security for logging into my PCs, both the NAS and the editing rig will be getting Windows Hello camera-only logins installed soon, I'll either do that or I will go a little easier and Find some decent fingerprint reader scanners. These will be the only way to log into the PC. I'm getting a office chair mat for the carpet too cuz it desperately needs it. We're going to get a 1500 Watt UPS for the two major systems, Surface Pro Is legitimately battery-powered so it'll be fine, This will give us about 5 minutes to save and shut down my PCs while also giving us a full 16 to 24 hours of running our wireless router to keep Internet access uninterrupted because it's kind of important for the people who work from home This is an upgrade the whole house is doing, It has a nice readout LCD display screen. Finally, we're upgrading the Corsair peripherals I am going to get a Qi-charging Corsair dark core SE wireless mouse, And I'm either going to bite the bullet and pay the $124 Refurbished price and get an iCue Corsair K100 RGB Optical -Mechanical OPX Keyboard, with the media wheel, and custom scroll button and the entire keyboard outer perimeter being RGB light edge with 44 zones. It will also be great that a multifunctional control wheel you can use for lots of things and switch it up by which program you're using, plus the Nexus IQ will be perfect for mounting on that keyboard I still have the mounting mechanism for it, and can mount it right to the keyboard. I would much rather prefer the cherry MX which I believe are of the speed silver switches but that's a $229 keyboard rather than the original $124 used. I'm going to do that or I'm going to save some money and buy a used Corsair k70 RGBMK.2 mechanical gaming keyboard with the USB pass-through and media controls with some cherry MX reds, unless I want to bump it up to 98 and get my clicky blue which I prefer through Corsair. Regardless I'm going to pair it with the happy balls PBT Black and Gray (with a single red escape button) Cherry MX Print Keycaps. Also by the end of the year, I would like to upgrade from the AMD Radeon 5500 XT GPU and go to either an Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060 ti or an AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT or maybe even an RX 6800. Anyways, I think this has been a long enough update for you guys to enjoy not reading and I don't blame you it is Christmas and New Year's season for crying out loud! Hope EVERYONE had an amazing holiday season and let's all hope all of us have a 2023 that puts the last 3 years to shame for its embarrassing and traumatizing devastating disappointment and hopefully it turns around for all of us into some kind of magical and amazing New Year! Don't worry about it none of you think about how it is highly unlikely and has never happened before haha enjoy it! Also go enjoy our content that has been uploaded and shared for a while and is amazing!CONSTRUCTION DELAYS & UPDATES ON THE OFFICE!
Feb 1st, 2023 @ 12:30 P.M.
So apparently no matter how much you ask for a specific timeline and time frames from builders and inspectors as well as just in general the work that used to be put into the foundation repair, and then waiting around for the inspector who isn't coming for another full week. Then the drywall work needs to be done painting as well and then I'll be able to move back the rest of my belongings. However I have managed to get half of the office put back together I have downgraded somewhat, as I am getting rid of some furniture and check as well as just generally trying to minimalize for the sake of organization and streamlining to business and the studio office. As soon as the computer is rebuilt I will begin releasing video episodes on YouTube but the podcast we do have two episodes I have to release but you can listen to them on any streaming service now. It took a day and a half to get where I am and I have an entire slew of wiring to do still. Well, that was In the past the network area storage and server is up and running and working smoothly on the first try, the monitor cords were a little loose and but we are back in business and have a better cable management job than ever before, and currently the video for the first episode of the two episodes that were supposed to be released two weeks in a row but our editor has been under the weather and has yet to finish the second episode However we're no rush our health is a more important issue. We will also be starting back up our TikTok / YouTube short content upload and scheduling so look forward to that! By the time you're able to read this there are probably a couple of videos starting to upload and trickle out as you read these words right this moment so in other words go check them out subscribe comment like share and kiss me good night. That's right you heard me, but cuddle me first! We love you all so much, thank you for tolerating my weirdness and my little brother and I would love to communicate With more of the community or the podcast fans or the content viewers, we are always looking to find a way to finagle more of our community or more people who outreach into the shows and the content so you never know when you could get something for free hand it to you or be in the videos or be mentioned or shout out during A show or even be allowed to record an intro or outro bumper or even just a news update We are going to try and hit double where we're at now with downloads and listens and streams by the end of this year! Speaking of which all of those upgrades we were talking about in the beginning of the year that I already ordered? Yeah bad news while the replacement mouse came and is awesome and works perfectly fine We are missing the vertical GPU mount that we need for the thermaltake core P3 case that is the editing rigs chassis of choice that allows us to wall mount it. During the pandemic thermaltake stop selling secondary accessories and replacement parts to this case and a couple of others because it just didn't make feasible financial sense and now you can no longer purchase them online. Also I never even got to open the screen before the entire product still inside the Amazon packaging that my sponsor reused to mail it out to me. I was kind of hoping I would find it in the shuffle of all the moving around and changing things However so far it's actually become much cleaner and with the inspector coming tomorrow the couch going out soon and being taken apart, replaced with a smaller futon like sectional bed that has room for my son to sleep and maybe a friend with a trundle bed underneath, I'm getting rid of some furniture probably a new bed and a new dresser The walls are going up very soon and we must paint, as well as we're replacing the doors of the office and just a ton of work but currently it has been streamlined cleaned and organized and there is no unopened packages in my name anywhere to be found and is kind of just jarring how upsetting that is considering it was going to be the coolest part of the update having that stat screen. Hopefully we find it soon I did buy a replacement RGB strip for the desk as I believe the foundation repair guys accidentally spilled some pink lemonade on it or something I don't know they were drinking very fruit punch and tropical multicolored drinks for guys who were so rugged, But I only know that because I spilled it all over the desk and there is still a little bit of a stain. However the drain I've already tested out and is amazing and there will probably be no further flooding which is exciting news to share! I'm going to go watch the new episode of The last of Us on HBO stream, I just renewed my tags now it's time to eat some French bread pizza and enjoy the episode and then afterwards I'm going to go out to the storage pod and do a good thorough checking and if it's not in there I'm going to have to look through a couple of other places although I'm running out of areas where it could possibly be. Oh wait, It is the first of February isn't it? Goodbye folks I'm going to go watch what kind of forever and it better not be as weird as people tell me it is!
LAST FEW UPDATES UNTIL END OF JANUARY
Jan 5th @ 8:25 2023
I write this as I try and combat an absolute savage migraine and navigate this secondary terrible headache that is the work that's going to be done in the basement. Tomorrow the PCIe State expansion port card is supposed to arrive which is funny because at the same time, for weather on the same day, the temporary storage pod will be put in the driveway and I will slowly be filling that up with pretty much all of my belongings so that they may sit inside of a thin plastic shell between it and all of my rosely belongings in life and everything that I own at all and a single padlock not to mention your protection from the cold or other elements other than I guess the light rain? As you could tell my utmost of just unwavering confidence is instilled upon Thi temporary storage solution. Judging off of Strickland nothing more than the fact of the past of my own life I am On high alert for any fires or natural disasters that may wipe out all of my worldly belongings and make me start from scratch for the third time in my life. Anyways we installed the new mic stand for Brad and it was such a good only $19 Mic stand we bought a second one that will be coming in soon just for my microphone to replace the old beat up one. I am going to be trying to deal with the storage solution and it's not wanting to add the two 8 TB hard drives to the NAS array for some reason. There's just a bunch of failures that shouldn't be happening and somehow every possible way I can do this is being thwarted by something that shouldn't be an issue and no underlining cause it's astounding how it's just an error across a bunch of different mediums but the effect is you can install drives into your storage solution pool currently. Mind boggling the luck there. We just got in the pod for the storage and there is going to be a lot of just hectic work being done but as of right now we are starting a long process of moving some data over to our new almost 25TBs of added storage space to our Server/NAS, Not to mention we are creating some of our favorite new content probably that we've ever done The Vince McMahon video we are getting ready to drop and the Andrew take video we did some of the more recent comedy sketches were just absolutely pieces of content that we are so proud of and are not following the trend of getting zero views if any effort was applied that our channel used to get and now is bringing on a pretty impressive viral touring of the internet if you will Make sure you go click like and really check it out!! There is going to be a long long long process of moving data around again but it will be accessible for all of our clients that have access to it for the entire duration of the project update and change You'll just suddenly notice a brand new massive amount of storage added on and at no charge! Now we have content planned for almost the entire month of January so far and then includes releasing two episodes In 2 weeks, On the weekend after next because we are recording this weekend tomorrow and currently we are frankly looking for a new video software and looking at magixa or filmora and a couple of others because our last one until remain nameless did us dirty. Which is just something we can abide by at this point especially with the size this company has become We need to start actually looking for keeping our productivity level as maximum size as we can If you know what I mean.
SATA EXPAND, PC SCREEN, GPU RISER, MOUSE, MIC ARM, MORE!
Jan 4th @ 4:00 P.M.
So just a little update we are working on adding some awesome new ideas to our podcast channel including live streaming from our Xbox gaming sessions that I actually get into and have time for it some gaming. I will play retro games when I get the occasional chance and maybe some fallout and whatnot I'm sure Brad will play far more than me.

I also want to beef up my security for logging into my PCs, both the NAS and the editing rig will be getting Windows Hello camera only logins installed soon, I'll either do that or I will go a little easier and Find some decent fingerprint reader scanners. These will be the only way to log into the PC. I'm getting a office chair mat for the carpet too cuz it desperately needs it. We're going to get a 1500 Watt UPS for the two major systems, Surface Pro Is legitimately battery powered so it'll be fine, This will give us about 5 minutes to save and shut down my PCs while also giving us a full 16 to 24 hours of running our wireless router to keep Internet access uninterrupted because it's kind of important for the people who work from home This is an upgrade the whole house is doing, It has a nice readout LCD display screen. Finally we're upgrading the Corsair peripherals I am going to get a Qi charging Corsair dark core SE wireless mouse, And I'm either going to bite the bullet and pay the $124 Refurbished price and get a iCue Corsair K100 RGB Optical -Mechanical OPX Keyboard, with the media wheel, and custom scroll button and the entire keyboard outter perimeter being RGB light edge with 44 zones. It will also be great that multifunctional control wheel you can use for lots of things and switch it up by which program you're using, plus the Nexus IQ will be perfect for mounting on that keyboard I still have the mounting mechanism for it and can mount it right to the keyboard. I would much rather prefer the cherry MX which I believe are of the speed silver switches but that's a $229 keyboard rather than the original $124 used. I'm going to do that or I'm going to save some money and buy a used Corsair k70 RGBMK.2 mechanical gaming keyboard with the USB pass through and media controls with some cherry MX reds, unless I want to bump it up to 98 and get my clicky blue which I prefer through Corsair. Regardless I'm going to pair it with the happy balls PBT Black and Gray (with a single red escape button) Cherry MX Print Keycaps. Also by the end of the year I would like to upgrade from the AMD Radeon 5500 XT GPU and go to either and Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060 ti or a AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT or maybe even a RX 6800. Anyways, I think this has been a long enough update for you guys too enjoy not reading and I don't blame you it is Christmas and New Year's season for crying out loud! Hope EVERYONE had an amazing holiday season and let's all hope all of us have a 2023 that puts the last 3 years to shame for its embarrassing and traumatizing devastating disappointment and hopefully it turns around for all of us into some kind of magical and amazing New Year! Don't worry about it none of you think about how it is highly unlikely and has never happened before haha enjoy it! Also go enjoy our content that has been uploaded and shared for a while and is amazing!1ST 2023 UPDATE + CONTENT RELEASES + 2023 FUTURE UPGRADES?
Jan 1st 2023 @ 3:00 P.M.
We finally have the Smart sensors working and the automation is amazing, you go outside the lights come on you go inside the lights turn on and automatically turn off when needed and the office lights up and you can greet you when You get ready to work, if there's a message or a water leak sensor alert or an alarm that goes off your immediately get red lights flashing on all the RGB strips. The bathroom light turns on and off automatically when you're in there. It has been one heck of a productive day!
Not to mention we also tore down the entire office with the exception of the PC and the NAS running still, but at its bare minimum and I mean like the mouse and keyboard and the computers and that's it.
On top of that, I have been working on some nifty features for the massive amount of cell phones I have and the ability to track them all and sync them all through apps and data and then another app that allows me to connect to my server and Ness and then back up the data, my apps, text messages, phone calls, downloads, videos and pictures, everything. Very handy!!
I aim to have the entire weekend complete a spackling, sanding, and then painting for the office and putting everything back! Plus we did the whole kitchen already and last night I managed to put some extra cable management and hook my son up with a system that has absolutely zero wires on the ground and will not be seen at all whatsoever when he wakes up he is going to be absolutely thrilled I actually added three different things of RGB that he's going to go over the moon about!
It really has been one of those days of non-stop productivity and I will check in with you guys this weekend I hope all the viewers have a great one of those speaking of it! I'm off to make this weekend just as productive and busy!2022 NEWS
RECORDING SESSIONS, 16TBS UPGRADE, PLUS EVEN MORE!
Dec 29th 2022 @ 8:00 P.M.
So I might have gone a little overboard with the podcast and updating it and just tons of new content. First of all we're now on CastBox.FM, which will be hosting a monthly live discord and patreon reward members interactive episode Brad and I will do that will be at least 45 minutes and always done at the last Saturday of the month we record will announce into believing all of these tears aren't the same exact what day of the month it is in the beginning of that month once our patreon starts filling up. With anybody, which you can now spend as a little as $3.00 USD Dollars, This year doesn't come with too many rewards but I added as much packed punch of a value as I could and this will get you access to digital MP3 audio backlog of episodes, occasional outtakes, the private community membership from the website free, voting power, suggestions and requests and topic submitting, discord server and a single solitary sarcastic joke and one-time verbal pat on your back for your oh so gloriously unselfish and generous support you showed us and after all the content we've made you? The hours of countless, yeah obviously it's just a joke and will also be a serious thanks, mentioned one time, for each person who joins us to your. Currently I am working on the 10th episode celebration trailer that will feature the best of our jokes from the last 10 episodes, if you guys want to have some input and tell us what your favorites were and what to add, go to the suggestion box, join patreon there are a lot of ways you could do it and get in touch with us let us know. I created a couple new patreon rewards including the $3 show some love tier, now offers a sarcastic pet on the back and verbal acknowledgment of your bountiful and incredible not sarcastic at all jokingly out of love made verbal pat on the back one time mention and thanks. This will be a joke as well as seriously hearing a say thank you however if you go to the $20 a month reward plan, You've got a Sophie's choice of either picking one full minute of being praised and worshiped for your generosity and kindness with no sarcasm or if you're brave and have our sense of humor you can step chickening out and take the option of being roasted for 1 minute straight. Either way we're definitely adding some more and better analytical data collecting platforms as well as More features that we can offer and collectively more platforms we can be spamming ourselves onto. I still have 26 different podcast platforms, analytics, apps and feature sets to go through that I need to see if Any of them can offer something more for our community. Before I forget about Patreon I added some content there that will hopefully be helpful in being ready for when patreon members join and having some backlog content for them to enjoy. Which includes all of the backlog episodes in the original trailer. Plenty of graphics and other content only for Patreon and community members. Also opened a MP3 direct link drive for our users to have every way possible to get their content from their rewards. How we rebranded the YouTube channel that hosts all of our content as in our TikToks, our Instagram videos and YouTube shorts is now branded and has new logos and graphics and will be called #ALRINCTV instead of the drawing out and long name of "Loose Reality TV" The YouTube channel and the TikTok and the Instagram account will have a ton of the original Loose Reality Sketches and Any podcast related videos uploaded to those sources for now on only, leaving the business social sites to their business. Also, Can we finally get some interaction with our community I swear we're starting to think you don't really exist and there's just some kind of issue with several different platforms and analytics. I want 10 people between now and the Sundays episode and before the two weeks that will be until the next episode which is episode 8, I need 10 people to join Patreon or discord, at the very least go to the website leave comments or rate us, or give us a review, join the 100% free community on the web page where all you need is an email address you can remember it can be fake if you want, and the password that you can remember put it in your Chrome and save it and get access to literally a thousand files of logos, videos, pictures and exclusive content only up there for grabs. One of you 10 people will be given a free mechanical keyboard, The same keyboard featured in our giveaway video ironically enough featuring an RGB keyboard, Check the tick tock, patreon post, or Instagram to see what I'm talking about or check this link in the description. I'm giving this keyboard away to someone I've been promising it since episode 4 Someone come and get a free keyboard! If your international and you pay for shipping then it's to anybody anywhere within the United States I will pay for shipping myself. There will be a non-canonical season 00 and not within the first season of the podcast uploaded later today it'll be mentioning most of this news and some other things worth mentioning and just keeping our listeners up to date, All episodes marked season 0 will be information or announcements. Now I'll just stop for the day. Do some more work tomorrow!We have finally completed the winter break of our podcast and episode 5 will be releasing this Sunday the 16th at noon as always! We are excited and actually stayed on subject some what! After my partner caught covid and the office renovations we had no idea how far behind they would get but thankfully we haven't got that far behind and the new episode and the new updates look amazing.

Not to mention this past weekend I wasn't feeling great and neither was Brad So we will be working on trying to get at least two more episodes in before the January break happens. Also we are working on the 258 GB model raspberry pi build for the retro pie game consoles it is coming together great and we are loving it right now we are scraping together all the videos and screenshots with the games and manuals.

TONS OF CONTENT, RECORDING, NEW EPISODE, & UPDATES
Dec 4th 2022 @ 2:40 P.M.Just started cooking something in the air fryer a little jumbo shrimp for lunch while riding this update to let you guys know today we're recording a new episode and that we've got a kind of content for TikTok and our YouTube shorts releasing and scheduled a lot of two days we hope you guys enjoy. Trying to rush through and get as much done as we can before this January break we have to take for the foundation repair that will be done to the office and overall general basement apartment during the month That's really going to put a tramp in my whole plan for the month as well as content, However it does need to be finished and done so that my basement stops flooding on really rainy days and I can sleep for the night without having to watch the basement stairwell pump we put in there in order to keep from flooding into the basement which doesn't always work but that's the reason I have to watch it, staying up All night instead of sleeping sometimes to make sure it doesn't overflow into my basement apartment. So that'll be nice be able to sleep easy on nights it rains a little heavy? What a little thing to be excited about most people take advantage of and don't even have to deal with this and or have the privilege of not knowing this is something others deal with funny enough.

FOUNDATION REPAIRS, MAJOR OFFICE/SYSTEM DOWN TIME, REPAIRS & MORE!
Nov 3rd 2022 @ 10:00 A.M.Well it looks like the beginning to middle of December will be a very difficult time of the year for yours truly as the basement foundation will be repaired and require ripping apart the entire studio office and generally everything that will not only need to be relocated temporarily but cause a delay in December's podcast episodes and recording so bear with us as it will be a difficult time for the hosts and be just generally a grueling situation all around especially for the Christmas season unfortunately. However some good news is we have recently just launched a ton of content released on our TikTok Instagram and Facebook and now scheduled for the YouTube shorts channel. We really hope you guys go check it out, It is some hilarious material if I'm just saying so myself, But honestly it is. Our episode Sunday release will be a little late. Brad is editing the episode and we'll need a little extra time this weekend as he has things to take care of that are more important. Not that the episode isn't important, we actually released a second forgotten episode that was mistakenly not upload and in place a repeat episode has been uploaded to our RSS feed and all the Spotify and everywhere else, but our YouTube channel had the correct episode so it was not shared there. This is in place of our normal Sunday release and was released earlier. Along with the planning of the construction in the basement and repair job we have updated the podcast website with the news.

FISH TANK, MIC BOOM ARMS, CAMERA MOUNT, CONTENT RELEASE & SKETCHES
Oct 28th 2022 @ 12:00 P.M.We released some new viral content on TikTok and YouTube shorts go check them out! We're also getting a camera boom arm and a secondary microphone boom arm for recording the podcast. Which has the final upgrade and quality and equipment has been updated, go check out the newest episodes that was released This past weekend and you'll hear a great quality increase. Not to mention we had to move the fish tanks again! What we've got about 90% of the fish tanks and everything else done it is perfectly set up and clean and done nicely waiting for the foundations guy to come by next week I am dreading the amount of damage and just inconvenience and uprooting of everything and all the furniture and all the tech and everything else during the process of fixing the basements foundation. Anyways, we have started the process of trying to fix some remote login issues that were having with their server as well as the PCI SATA 10-port expansion card is causing a blue screen of death and we're trying to figure out the root cause I know it's not the power supply being underpowered at least.
STORAGE SERVER ISSUES, MEDIA APPS, PHONE THINGS, & TIKTOKS!
Oct 15th 2022 @ 2:00 P.M.So while we're working on our NAS and trying to get it to work properly We did manage to add our build over on our PC part picker collection once it's completely finished of course it will have photos and be shared publicly. Such as all of our builds we do here at Loose Reality Inc. Speaking of which we have narrowed down the issue for our storage server and have gotten it to boot correctly a couple of times It seems that our hot swap dock had a faulty wire somewhere along the line and I am now configuring it. Whether a lovely little add-on pain with having to figure out the issue with our cable box and reprogram the remote plus the plethora of ridiculous apps we needed to download to get various things to work was a fun evening to say the least! At least the views are going up on the tons of shorts and tick tock content we have currently uploaded. Upgrading our Apple products with iOS 16 and doing some light of grating. Okay now as far as the podcast goes tomorrow we should be recording hands down no problem, now check it out, we have a 4K 60 frames per second amazing high quality camera that will be recording for the Patreon and for the podcast previews on TikTok and YouTube shorts, the podcasting studio equipment has been upgraded by far! We can now listen with our headphones while we record, do the intro track over the actual recording, sound effects, pitch voices like a woman, man, robot, to auto-tune, and change all kinds of editing requirement. Work out a fish tank to right in front of the actual office space, not to mention we have a giant workload of customized painting to do for office supply work that I got hired for. Plus the episode we're getting to record in about an hour's worth of time has a lot of dope content and has been set up perfectly You won't even recognize this episode for what it's work and worth. Jackson value alone has been power station and the charging station to under the desk so that the fish tank could go behind the studio door. There was just an inn ornament amount of work to be done and conquered today really proud Got some stuff to do once the recording is over but we've got a lot of content to power through and a lot of it I think you guys are going to love Make sure you check out the next episode which is episode 16, and is just shy two weeks of a full year's worth of episodes released Which is why I'm doing all of our best content this week which makes no sense which is on brand for us completely right? Go find out! Not to mention do you like hundred or so apps and PC engagements in those apps that we need to try out and work through!
HIBERNATION, NAS BUILD, PODCAST DELAY, & A TON OF OTHER NEWS!
Oct 13th 2022 @ 6:05 P.M.Well the PCI SATA expansion port card came in today which is about a good timing as of any. Because today I finally got some actual work done after getting very ill with a random sickness that just paid me sleep from Tuesday until today I lost my voice and ability to stay awake for more than 30 minutes between those days Why? Good God only knows why I have absolutely no explanation and am kind of stunned on the whole experience myself to be honest anyways with that randomness and some other emergency out of nowhere else issues We did not get a chance to record Saturday or Sunday and will be rescheduling that recording for this weekend. The weekend of the 14-16th of October. So again the episodes will change which weekend they release unfortunately but as we always say your health is more important than anything else including the podcast. We released a little voice memo saying as much on the Friday 14th of October just giving everyone a heads up saying as much. Also we released a ton of new TikTok and YouTube short content We hope you guys go check out and enjoy. Now the NAS PC is built and ready for testing, Which makes me nervous because so many things can go wrong with this build in its new case that it's going to be a fun time going through each little troubleshooting method to see which reason is why it's working or not. Hopefully first try I'll Have everything booting and recognized, I feel like I filled enough computers in my life time custom and whatnot that I can have this one. The intricacies of this build, flipping the opening front panel that has a swing hinge from one side to the other, he eight hard drive bays, each of the hard drives which there are nine of one is an SSD, comes with a SATA data, and a SATA power, the modular PSU, the cable management, the hot swappable drive mount that works for SSDs or hard drives, it has a 3.5 Bay and a 2.5 Bay you can use, The fan hub for the front drive bay fans, the six case fans total, Plus the GPU and it's power, Not to mention the SSD that powers the whole build has a bit of a broken tab in the side of data port so I had the super glue the outside of it into the unit by the cord and hopefully that worked for reading and writing, Then there's the SATA expansion port card which has like four tribes hooked up to it including the hot swap bay. That's a lot of different components to work together and there's more as well. So how did the first boot go you ask? A booted right up there are some minor little intricacies I've got to figure out but other than that it works perfectly! First try too That is amazing! Also we have dropped a ton of new shorts on YouTube and TikToks! Go Right now and watch them get us so much needed views and show us some love. By the way I'm sure you have noticed Yes we have changed not only the layout but the actual entire design of the webpage. We hope you guys really enjoy it We are just trying to find a nice middle ground between form and function and the design and visibility. Currently we're working on trying to minimize down to a m.2 drive or Just adding a second 2.5 hard drive to the Nash storage solution. As well as troubleshoot a little issue we're having that isn't any big deal and will be figured out fairly quickly or at least I hope! Until then we are going through our 2.5 and M.2 storage drives to see what's on these drives. As well as I am running into an issue with the RetroPie 4.8 raspberry pie for build after updating installed packages It is now crashing at the 3 second mark after it begins playing a boot screen for a splash screen as raspberry pies call it. I am trying to mount the entire drive image so that I can go through it and file explorer kind of like a Linux partition I do have the Linux WSL2 Linux Sub system for Windows 11. So we'll see how that goes, If worse comes to worst I want to save all of the ROMs, the configs, the BiOS files, and the splash screens, especially all the scraped files as in the videos and images and manuals for every game that was already downloaded. That was Very time-consuming and I would hate to have to do that all over again. Now it looks like there is some kind of power failure blue screen of death looping issue for the NAS PC that's happening. We'll have to narrow it down and figure out what it's coming from also a ton of new media apps too fix and customize and test out some new lighting features that I have to still and test out. Just reset the phone in a temp to fix a issue I've been having with some of the apps. However, no it is time for a little break! Will see you guys soon.
NEW NAS PC CASE, TRANSFER, CONTRACTORS, PODCAST, & CONTENT UPDATE!
Oct 8th 2022 @ 7:54 P.M.Just in case anyone paying attention or has actually been keeping up with the podcast and or our general content and serious over on the #ALRINCTV channel end podcast pages This month marks officially on Halloween night itself, one four year during the podcast which Brad and I are actually quite proud of and have enjoyed what has come from it and of it via the listeners, fans and returning people who have made it smart and as successful as it has gotten so far. We're stoked for another recording session most likely tomorrow afternoon or evening sometime and I have specifically worked on making sure I had a good amount of new and different varying content to add to the typical and standard one or two things and then absolutely no pre-planned conversation pieces or subject matter podcast episode format that we have been sticking to almost religiously out of sheer I just didn't do it type of vibes which if you listen to the show at all or have found yourself feeling like you just can't help but feel similar in your effort to do nada dang thing at times then you'll know that it's kind of just a point of pride for us at this point almost as if it's expected and given a warm golf clap welcome. Now after the flooding a contractor is coming in with 25th to give us an estimate and an idea of the amount of work, displacement, time, cost, if there's going to be any permits that will be needed which will absolutely throw ranch into the old even remotely possible to get and pay for due to the houses rebuilding after the fire and the company the insurance paid for screwing the county over in some kind of permit way that is now got us on a shadow band list that seems almost like a bitter and angry ex more so than a local and ever-changing group of policy makers and decision choosers. However that's the way it is and if it is too arduous and expensive or time-consuming or just downright impossible financially, It's just going to wind up on another notch in my ever-growing library of I just have to deal with it situations that make just all of living so swell and easily livable. However, One good piece of news is he knew NAS case came in in less than 2 days after ordering one on Newegg which wasn't my first choice obviously However after the whole process only took two days it is definitely a better experience than being sold the red version of my wall mounted case out of an inventory that didn't actually exist charged for an item that wasn't really there and only asked if I wanted to refund not just giving it over a week and a half later. I would say this one purchase of the two that I've made out of from NewEgg this past week worked out well. The other not so much, I'm sorry pain $6 in shipping for an item that is less than half a pound and the size of a credit card should not be 17 days worth of travel to make it from the shipping location to my humbled no window squaller. Yet, currently my SATA expander still sits in Illinois 100 or so miles away from Chicago or any other area of Illinois people actually know at least for a flyover state they generally have heard of the various locations. I don't understand how I can buy two items and pay the same amount for shipping, get one in exactly two days, and the other in what is estimated to be 16 total days, from the same internal offshoot and not direct from Newegg but still Newegg vendor from within Newegg and They gotten paid for it the same time and ordered from the same location and the discrepancies between the two be just this outlandishly different. Why that is? I will never know and is infuriating because I'm currently transferring the NAS PC motherboard drives and everything else into the new case that I got with the beautiful and spacious easilyb workable in Fractal Define RR case. It comes with two fans a modular array of hard drives even the place to put 5 and 1/4 floppy or CD drives or in my case a hot swappable hard drive mount and reader for transferring data and a fan control hub or multiple type storage card and device reader with USB ports Then 8 full fat 3.5 in 7200 hard drives with just over 37 total terabytes of storage all together and half of that in redundancy. But yet I can't do it all at once and install the other drives that will only be able to be installed once I get the expansion card. This means I have to install all the things so that I can get my NAS back up and running and put the hard drives that I will add later when the expansion card comes in, into the system and the hard drive mounts before I can install them just to have them ready, put the system up and running, and then waiting for the card to get here and install it and plug in all the hard drives after the fact. Which, hopefully we'll be within the next week even though I paid the same amount and it shipped out from the same day and store on Newegg but the difference in estimated shipping arrivals was polar opposites to say the least Anyways that's enough for today I'll see you guys soon!
MONITOR MOUNTS, SONS PC UPDATE, FLOODING, NAS UPGRADES, NEW BUYS+ WAY MORE!
Oct 4th 2022 @ 11:32 A.M.So all of the computers are now running 100% above board and fully Microsoft endorsed and purchased versions of Windows 11 professional, I even managed to squeeze in a extra cooling fan, turned two terabytes into 8 TB, took his fortnight gaming PC from 8 GB of no name Hyinix Ram that I wouldn't trust with a Kardashian career much less a game rig and I upgraded it with crucial ballistics 3600 MHz DDR4 16 GB Dual Channel, x2 Modules that are a pretty decent CL16! I also gave him Windows 11 pro because all of the computers my NAS, my editing rig, my MacBook pro my Windows surface rolling tablet, my storage server, my Dell i-767 00K for no reason laptop, and even the All in one touch screen that's beneath the TV in the background of the podcast studio footage and just generally the AIO touch screen PC that is a quad core system running 8 GB of RAM and a GTX 960 everything soldered and unupgradable GPU, all of these systems are running remote desktop and remote viewing, remote Logan and controlling through wake through land and on my phone and everything else they're all linked up in the network through my very specific settings so it's very hopeful to have the Naz my editing rig and his computer on Windows 11 pro most of those server features a genuinely use, along with hyperthreading and the TPM secure boot and virtualization. I bumped up my editing rig to 68 GB of CL18 4000 MHz G Skill no frills kit of only two x32GBs modules, so that I could order Two more down the road. I have been dealing with the most insane and non-stop flooding of my basement apartment stairwell and now there's a huge slide that we have to use the carpet cleaner to get the water out of our carpets every 40 minutes or so otherwise we would be swimming! And even with all that going on I managed to get the updates, install the brand new triple monitor amount that makes the desk set up a lot more clean, do all the cable management for it, do some Amazon shopping and save for later listing for the a.m. for motherboard, GPU, and cooler that I will be updating for the editing rig, and even bought and paid for and just awaiting the arrival of the fractal design messify C, But solely because it has up to 10 spinning rust hard drive disc mounting locations! That doesn't include the plethora of fans, SSD mounting, can take a EATX motherboard and all the other good stuff also it's got a modular design I really like where I can move around parts I don't need or do need along with that I bought a SATA 3:10 6 GB per second speed and rated six port expansion card for the storage NAS PC. This way I can add the two 4TB empty 7200 RPMs storage NAS rated hard disk drives I have laying around plus at another four 2TB spare drives I own. Adding quick math no overages accounted for, just off the top of my head 16TBs total and 8TB in additional rated storage capacity, so every Terabyte of data the NAS holds, there is an exact parody replica of it. So this would give my total amount of heritage raid storage space would be 25 terabytes! This way I wouldn't have to go looking for ways I can say space on the drive anymore! Plus later on down the road I can add drives which much higher capacity fairly easily and almost in a hot tropical kind of way. Form and function and design How sweet! The storage nest actually got upgraded to 32 terabytes of DDR 4000 as well, so the podcast studio and recording for this Saturday is all set can't wait for Brad to see the look of the new studio setup now that it's much more streamlined and far less cable clutter. Hopefully by then we've found someone to help us with this burst pipe or leak in our trainings or something that I just can't see the pain point before I have to go another night no sleep constantly spending five out of 10 hours using the stupid carpet cleaner to drain out my swamp carpet like on some kind of Louisiana deep South Creole wizard of swamp whispering. Anyways, We also did some updating on the website, I fixed a bug on the main business site, and changed the template or the design of the podcast site and I think it looks much nicer go check it out and tell us what you think? Hey did you see the entire plethora of different YouTube shorts and TikToks we released in the last 48 hours? How MANY VIEWS HAVE WE ACCUMULATED ENTER THAT HERE! How are you two thanks to the podcast and YouTube shorts has been steadily growing in views and subscriptions over the last year, however our TikTok was stagnant for a while but we're getting close to that 300 subscribers, and over a hundred k views, now when you count all the engagements likes comments, shares, favorites, and all that jazz it's over 500k! Cool right? Exciting times! Did you know Halloween 2022 will be the one year anniversary of our podcast releasing its first episode? That's right We will have been doing this podcast for one year straight, with the exception of two COVID breaks and one motorcycle trip break That was done on Brad's side, we all know Chris has no life absolutely! Anyways, this has gotten long enough, see ya next Sunday!
WINDOWS 11, RAM UPGRADES, EPISODE DELAY, & MORE!
Sept 21st 2022 @ 11:26 P.M.That's right I have fit the bullet and the editing rig has now had a fresh reinstall and update as well as the secondary raid array I have for the editing rigs games and scratch storage is now a full fat 10 TB of redundant storage and running off of the new prime b550 Plus motherboard we used to get a raid one m.2 operating system drive redundancy fix the USB issues we were having and take that 64 GB of RAM and new Radeon 6900 XT, Put it back into our Thermaltake core P3 case and put it back in the actual GPU vertical stand and mount, and it does look and works beautifully! We are proud So this week is going to be the podcast recording week this Saturday we will record in next Sunday will be in episode release just a heads up I know I said it in the last update and I released a little bonus tribute to Pat's Day and episode announcement drop earlier today but I also wanted to mention it here. Man I am wiped out! We have been doing a lot of trying to downsize, while adding more storage and organizing as well as nice interior look and design without having to make my home look like it is just a organized chaos mess of boxes and storage and after the basement stairwell door and it's stupid automatic pump and drain didn't work as it was supposed to on a simple rainy night no flood no terrible rains or nothing just an hour or two of rain almost cost us a lot of damage and money and property so we now have a smart home water sensor several of them actually and I have installed some more shelving organized the tools, the artistic equipment, the kitchen area everything is all now separate and much more of a well-organized and less chaotic looking well designed and homely area It feels much better and just the amount of work and effort and time we put into this project and the little updates and changes but it's all come together to add up over the last few months has really paid off! Now we can work on just the systems and get back to working full time on that stuff without worrying about anything else else. Should be nice to get back and focus on work far more often than everything else falling apart or needing repair. Updating the NAS big time next month, to UNRAID for an operating system and upping it to 64 GB of RAM as well giving it the Radeon RX 5500 XT we have laying around the office, as well as transferring it to a much better case for its purposes; a fractal design define R5, mid tower ATX PC case for $146.99 a 5 pack of antec 120 mm case fans for $19.99 and a "FUQUXSTAR" SATA PCIe Expansion Card which will add an additional six SATA data ports to my motherboard and the overall NAS/Server machine. No0w that all the organizing is done, its time to build this monitor arm mount and mount our monitors! Also FYI our videos for the podcast is going to take a huge step up in quality! We will now be filming with the original due to camera that I had for years the 4K DVR mini cam kit that I have, should be an easy high quality way to get the right previews and snippets and Patreon content for our podcast for now on so look forward to that! Those recordings using this camera will be beginning with this go around as we record Sunday September 25th! Anyways it's time to get back to work we love you guys we'll see you soon and hope everyone's having a great month.
150 SUBS, 150K VIEWS, OFFICE CHANGES, INTERNET DOWN/UPS!
Sept 13th 2022 @ 9:45 P.M.So first of all I would like to say thank you for making us reach 150k fuse on YouTube as well as 150 subscribers oddly enough It is definitely a good land mark to make. I have done some serious rearranging and bought some new bookshelves and organizing containers for the office It is much more organized and cleanly like. We have torn down the editing rig and it is just about ready to test on the new motherboard along with the 64 GB of RAM. Plus 4TBs of storage being added. It's a nice little upgrade. Found afraid power supply wire that is Sata power which might be why I'm having such an issue with the hard drives so I'm going to try and repair this, while testing the new motherboard. Our Wi-Fi was down the last 2 days so bear with me while I create a video for our latest Podcast episode that will be blank, Just this go around as I don't currently have the template that we use. However we did update our Wi-Fi speeds and network in general so, This should help in time.
Before I go for the evening and finish these builds that you can see, In a preview on our TikTok and YouTube shorts page I have a sad little piece of news to share with all of you and I know most of you won't know who this person is however I work with him several times during my era working in battle rap and recently in Halifax Nova Scotia Canada He was unfortunately attacked at a nightclub and his life was ended due to a stabbing. He was a well-known battle rapper King of The Dots essential main stage headline act that got the battles that were beyond being the champion or holding there Kennedy got change backwards ticket size they have won their flagship title like a wrestling federations World heavyweight champion if you will Pat's Stay was the guy you would get for the exhibition fights that brought in more money than the champion. Battles legends like; Tay Roc, Calicoe, Hollow Da Don, Thesaurus, Marv Won, Shot Gun Suge, Arsonal, Danny Myers, Dizaster, Aye Verb, Charlie Clips, Bigg K, Tony D, John John Da Don, Serius Jones, Illmaculate, Hollohan, Daylyt, Math Hoffa, Shotty Horroh, and Head Ice just to mention a few, all legends and millions of views to themselves just as was Pat Stay, he was also a loving father, hard working passionate and fun loving man you would instantly get along with and endlessly always respect. The man's work ethic and grind was unparalleled and beautiful. It is truly a horrible thing that happened to him, tragic and undeserved. Not to mention heartbreakingly devastating and lonely in those last minutes. His attacker has been arrested, thankfully justice will be brought to him. It is a loss for the music industry, battle rap community, for his family, and for the world. Rest in Peace my friend and feel proud of the legacy and stories as well as the impact you left behind your name will never be forgotten You will truly be missed.UPGRADES, UPDATES, OFFRICE CHANGES & MORE!
Sept 15th 2022 @ 11:30 P.M.
Another 32 GB of RAM, brand new motherboard, update to Windows 11 all for a main editing rig! Times for a Walmart trip and some updates! So we actually found a very underpriced hookup for some of our best smart home devices and RGB lighting, not to mention I'm going to add up something a little old school, a black light. Oh and all of the ruckus and things changing I forgot to mention the office is almost already completely emptied out and will be downsized somewhat when it comes to the amount of things in the office but also the storage will be far more robust and maximize for its custom use case. I cannot wait to get this office put back together, the next two days we should be installing the motherboard, the RAM, the video card updating my son's computer with another 16 gig of RAM Yes my son's gaming rig has a AMD Radeon 5600 XT now with 8 GB of VRAM, 32 GB of 3200 MHz c16 RAM and two terabytes and raid zero of regular old spinning rust hard drives not to mention a 256 m.2 generation 4 like 3,000 megabytes per second speed drive. A little bit overkill for what he needs considering all he does is play one of those really crappy games where everybody sucks and they're just very rude to each other and they have to build things so they don't get shot in the head You know what I'm talking about It's called "Noobs That Don't Curse Well!" He's a little excited because he ordered a The Logitech g502 ghost mode It may be wired but wire keyboard and mouse is best for him for his input lag and best gaming options even though he is a complete and utter shameful no son of mine that I should abandon and take my last name and his rights as a gamer and a cowan and a tech geek because he still uses an Xbox controller How disgusting is that you know? It's like I'd rather him come out as a George w Bush lover. Obviously I am kidding and me no harm and am proud of him and have taught him quite a bit about how to build computers and technology in general. Anyways about the recording session we did Monday on Labor Day it should be released either Saturday night or Sunday which should be the date of; September 10th or 11th 2022 It will be our 15th episode. We actually spoke about the fact that we are 2 months away from our 1-year anniversary of doing this podcast and even though we should have 24 full episodes considering we do twice a month What can we say? Covid is a pretty good disruptor of things and so is vacations and renovations However we are proud and excited not to mention our YouTube channel thanks to our YouTube shorts as closer than ever to monetization and we have just recently surpassed the $155,000 view mark on our channel and over 800 watch hours as soon as we get our required amount of subscribers then we are golden and set for getting monetized hands down so with saying all of that I encourage all of you to go out immediately and log into your account, subscribe, then your mom's account, your sister's account, Your uncle's account, your aunt account, your dog's account your dog's groomer account your barbers account your great aunt versa from the Great depression's account and then you know of course made like multiples burner accounts and then subscribe with those because why not you love us and it's Brad and myself's birthday week!! You should feel thankful for all of the quality content and humor we brought to your lives, as well as feel bad for the fact that we're ancient and our children use Xbox controllers on PC games What else could a human being have to endure that could gain them the slightest bit of support through pity and concern? Anyways back to the office readjustment I know we do this almost every other week It seems as well as for constantly adding new smart home features and lighting However we are downsizing some and we are going to make sure it's far more elaborate and creative as well as unique and beautiful looking for our videos and backdrop without being overbearingly organized chaos and overheating the room in general. I'm trying to get rid of the charging station not so great bookshelves so be on the lookout for a almost brand new backdrop soon!
ANNIVERSARIES, BIRTHDAYS, UPDATES, TIKTOKS & UPGRADES!
Sept 4th 2022 @ 3:24 P.M.Today is Brad and his wife of one years anniversary! Everyone wish them a happy anniversary and we hope you're just as excited for the next episode of the podcast as we are! We will be recording either today later this evening or since tomorrow is a holiday we figured we could get away with recording tomorrow instead. We have upgraded our network area storage and general server build By adding another 32 GB of RAM for a full 64 GBs of RAM, plus a AMD Radeon 6900 XT GPU which is Going to be amazing for any setups we need with video card features, adding functionality to virtual machines with GPU features, and It will be running all the gaming in my household by itself, All of the games from our steam server and Windows will launch and run from the server and be stored there but they will all be run locally through the network. On top of this big piece of news Chris and his son did a TikTok and released it on the Loose Reality Inc channel for unboxing a new monitor for the studio office. Besides the podcasts cohost Brad, and his wife's anniversary, It's also Chris's birthday on the 6th, Brad's birthday on the 10th, and 21 year anniversary of their friendship on the sixth as well. As silly as that is. We got some RTV strips to replace a couple of the broken ones and we're working on that as well as finally starting the pre-installation of the network area storage and server operating system and add-on features as well as the main editing rigs Windows 11 install. Plus we've got to do all the software reinstalls for both computers which is going to be a big joyous fun.
NEXT EPISODE, PODCAST TIKTOKS, NEW YOUTUBE ARTWORK & RECENT PROJECTS!
Aug 22nd 2022 @ 5:00 P.M.Well what an amazing day! We managed to get a ton done we smashed the episodes! We get audio & visually recorded and I mean this might be one of our top five episodes of all time and we’re excited to see what you guys think and we’ve got TikTok‘s coming out and YouTube shorts coming out they were actually featuring footage from the recording session. From now on will be trying to use high-quality cameras to record some footage of each one of the episode recordings so that we have some kind of content to kind of use in those TikTok order to try and get you guys to come hang out on the podcast and check out the show which we know you would love if you gave it a chance at all! This is how absolutely convinced we are and if you gave us the chance we knew you’d for a fact that you would agree once you saw the footage and heard the episode. We also managed to get a ton of other things done while after the episode was recorded we’ve already released one TikTok featuring the video footage we had just recorded with the camera. I also managed to get some more of the remote controls we have programmed into the smart controller app which is a real big help. Now even more amazing is that the office looks great the computer has been torn apart and rebuild and currently we’re gonna be working on attempting to put a dual boot Windows 10 & Windows 11 machine with my know how & some little slippery tracks that I know in order to get past certain problems these type of dual boot installs have sometimes. Now, after all this I have one more little special piece of information you can go check out our recent projects section and see a big amounts of new YouTube thumbnails, banners, and even a Instagram Square presentation believe we’ve worked to replace all of these basic YouTube thumbnails and banners we had make it look a little bit better for you guys deserve it! Also I am going to be posting some of these beautiful intro videos and some other possibilities. The office looks amazing today as we've got it finally all situated and perfectly set the way we needed and minimize a lot of the belongings and space that was being taken up It looks so much better, more free in here and less suffocating for space with the space being more functional. Not to mention we finally got it down to just the four channels we actually use on YouTube which is extremely impressive considering how many we had before through our multiple accounts It was very obnoxious to be honest! However these new YouTube channel thumbnails and video intros and outros are amazing we're going to be using them for #ALRINCTV for now on, By the time this update gets posted you will be able to see them already on the channel. They will be live
MASSIVE OVERHAUL AND PROJECT UPDATES!
Feb 26th 2022 @ 3:43 A.M.
So I might have gone a little overboard with the podcast and updating it and just tons of new content. First of all we're now on CastBox.FM, which will be hosting a monthly live discord and patreon reward members interactive episode Brad and I will do that will be at least 45 minutes and always done at the last Saturday of the month we record will announce into believing all of these tears aren't the same exact what day of the month it is in the beginning of that month once our patreon starts filling up. With anybody, which you can now spend as a little as $3.00 USD Dollars, This year doesn't come with too many rewards but I added as much packed punch of a value as I could and this will get you access to digital MP3 audio backlog of episodes, occasional outtakes, the private community membership from the website free, voting power, suggestions and requests and topic submitting, discord server and a single solitary sarcastic joke and one-time verbal pat on your back for your oh so gloriously unselfish and generous support you showed us and after all the content we've made you? The hours of countless, yeah obviously it's just a joke and will also be a serious thanks, mentioned one time, for each person who joins us to your. Currently I am working on the 10th episode celebration trailer that will feature the best of our jokes from the last 10 episodes, if you guys want to have some input and tell us what your favorites were and what to add, go to the suggestion box, join patreon there are a lot of ways you could do it and get in touch with us let us know. I created a couple new patreon rewards including the $3 show some love tier, now offers a sarcastic pet on the back and verbal acknowledgment of your bountiful and incredible not sarcastic at all jokingly out of love made verbal pat on the back one time mention and thanks. This will be a joke as well as seriously hearing a say thank you however if you go to the $20 a month reward plan, You've got a Sophie's choice of either picking one full minute of being praised and worshiped for your generosity and kindness with no sarcasm or if you're brave and have our sense of humor you can step chickening out and take the option of being roasted for 1 minute straight. Either way we're definitely adding some more and better analytical data collecting platforms as well as More features that we can offer and collectively more platforms we can be spamming ourselves onto. I still have 26 different podcast platforms, analytics, apps and feature sets to go through that I need to see if Any of them can offer something more for our community. Before I forget about Patreon I added some content there that will hopefully be helpful in being ready for when patreon members join and having some backlog content for them to enjoy. Which includes all of the backlog episodes in the original trailer. Plenty of graphics and other content only for Patreon and community members. Also opened a MP3 direct link drive for our users to have every way possible to get their content from their rewards. How we rebranded the YouTube channel that hosts all of our content as in our TikToks, our Instagram videos and YouTube shorts is now branded and has new logos and graphics and will be called #ALRINCTV instead of the drawing out and long name of "Loose Reality TV" The YouTube channel and the TikTok and the Instagram account will have a ton of the original Loose Reality Sketches and Any podcast related videos uploaded to those sources for now on only, leaving the business social sites to their business. Also, Can we finally get some interaction with our community I swear we're starting to think you don't really exist and there's just some kind of issue with several different platforms and analytics. I want 10 people between now and the Sundays episode and before the two weeks that will be until the next episode which is episode 8, I need 10 people to join Patreon or discord, at the very least go to the website leave comments or rate us, or give us a review, join the 100% free community on the web page where all you need is an email address you can remember it can be fake if you want, and the password that you can remember put it in your Chrome and save it and get access to literally a thousand files of logos, videos, pictures and exclusive content only up there for grabs. One of you 10 people will be given a free mechanical keyboard, The same keyboard featured in our giveaway video ironically enough featuring an RGB keyboard, Check the tick tock, patreon post, or Instagram to see what I'm talking about or check this link in the description. I'm giving this keyboard away to someone I've been promising it since episode 4 Someone come and get a free keyboard! If your international and you pay for shipping then it's to anybody anywhere within the United States I will pay for shipping myself. There will be a non-canonical season 00 and not within the first season of the podcast uploaded later today it'll be mentioning most of this news and some other things worth mentioning and just keeping our listeners up to date, All episodes marked season 0 will be information or announcements. Now I'll just stop for the day. Do some more work tomorrow!We have finally completed the winter break of our podcast and episode 5 will be releasing this Sunday the 16th at noon as always! We are excited and actually stayed on subject some what! After my partner caught covid and the office renovations we had no idea how far behind they would get but thankfully we haven't got that far behind and the new episode and the new updates look amazing.

WEBSITE THEME FAIL, TEAR DOWN, SMART VACUUM & MORE!
Aug 19th 2022 @ 4:56 A.M.Getting in early start on today's work considering I was supposed to start right away with the teardown of the systems and rebuild now that we don't have an episode to edit or record until Saturday and that would give me plenty of time however in a interesting turn of events when posting last week's updates I noticed the theming was off of website. So I spent the last half hour fixing that and repairing some of the damage and switching over to a new but similar template where I had to build it from scratch real quick. Very obnoxious of our webhost. Anyways beyond that or just having a little bit of a quirky fun trying to get our Smart vacuum to understand the land of the basement office bedroom setup. It's quite interesting and entertaining. Just lost some data from my phone which is quite upsetting but I don't have the time nor is it important enough for me to go searching for it, however we have released quite a few TikToks some of them still scheduled to release over the next half an hour However accumulatively As per usual the tick tock views are very limited However the YouTube views so far have garnished over 9000 and will probably hit 10k sometime today especially with the three other videos releasing in shortly. With that being said, this is when we begun tearing down the builds. Now an update within update I guess I'm turning into a little bit of an exhibit. Okay that was a good joke for those who get the reference anyways the teardown process has all but been finished, look out for a particularly poignant and specific tick tock and you too short based on how everyone wants a nice gaming PC or battle station or a home office that is until they have to deal with the wiring, and wait until you see the entire amount of work and wiring goes into building this office no exaggeration or baloney that visual is 100% accurate. Anyways, with adding the Smart vacuum to our smart home features, we actually decided to use some of our motion sensors now my bathroom lights won't be on all night when my son goes to the bathroom they'll turn off after 20 minutes. I've also got all the lighting done up correctly and will be adding the second sensor I have to my stairwell lights so that's anytime you go up or down to like comes on and goes off by itself, just me too Get a safe way to change out the light bulb on that. I also managed to snag a couple of extra outlet smart adapters to add to various automation and otherwise parts of the smart home in office. The entire tear down is done and the rebuild will begin followed by a quick fresh install for the editing rig just to get it up and operating for recording tomorrow or the day after. Still trying to get the really good content we made for TikTok to be actually rather than just the ceiling nonsense ones we make. Anyways, We did decide to make a little how'd it go from amateur PC battle station office setup to pro and we're showing off all our little cable management secrets our wiring techniques our favorite ways to organize the office, as well as cable management and everything in between. This will be released on our actual Loose Reality Inc tick tock account as well as the podcast account and both the YouTubes. Time to take a small break and have something to eat as well as let the smart vacuum stay locked in the office until it's spotless doing my job for me. I have to upload, schedule and create some content for our viewers. Well we released some more content and I'm getting ready to release some more even now, and 90% of the office is back up and running 100% Even managed to find my phone stylus! Plus, starting today we're either going to use our phones or a GoPro in order to record some of our more funnier scenes in our podcast recording sessions and episodes in order to promote the podcast itself! It has been an extremely productive and even beyond the typical productivity where I'm always slightly distracted and end up not finishing everything I wanted nope this time I am actually ahead of the curve and going to take advantage of it somewhat and try and get my haircut as well as do some a light cleaning that is needed. Then it will be back to finishing the last little bit of putting the RGB white kits, making sure the network is all hooked up and properly working, reinstalling windows and getting the main editing rig to where we need it for recording later today, and wrapping up a few more things. Well now that we've got this content uploaded three new videos, over 12k views so far on YouTube shorts, it's only noon, and now time for a hair cut, and to recovery my phone's photo albums and then back to the work on the PC! Well we got it up and running and actually completed the builds, release some new TikToks getting ready to drop one last one and then tomorrow it's time to record and then there's going to be a nice little break until probably around the 10th or 11th, we can't wait to hear from you then We might get lucky and have a couple of days of work thrown in between maybe Monday and Tuesday we'll see, you'll hear from us if so. Have a great one everyone!
FINALY TEARING DOWN TO REWIRE & REBUID, MUCH NEW TIKTOK CONTENT & NEW EPISODE!
August 13th 2022 @ 4:55 P.M.The amount of absolutely hilarious and completely original content that has been and will be uploaded periodically throughout the day on all of our platforms, where we typically upload meaning our Instagram, our YouTube shorts, our TikTok and even the Facebook page as I say this now we have already achieved over a hundred thousand new views and the craziest thing ever There is a year of watch time for less than 10 videos accumulatively I got to say man This type of absolutely amazing. I've never been more motivated and excited for future of our sister channel and the entire #ALRINCTV and Loose Reality Inc channel, company, production group and community. There is just absolutely no stopping the creative juices that have been just smashing home runs with dozens of brand new and five Star, 10 out of 10 pieces of content that have some of the most complex or silliest writing and scenes I have managed to get out of my head and on the screen in decades, I remember when I would get into this kind of creative and funny writing and concept designing ideal flow kind of face and it would just be a loop of smashing every little piece of content that I started and finished. There is probably going to be over 30 brand new pieces of material each original pieces of brand new original content that have not been just stitches with other people on TikTok or copied and pasted using just me to cut out someone else's original idea You will know for sure all of the content is created by Chris Cowan. His style of humor and self deprecating with a conflicting ego of flurried ideas mixed with silly slapstick and complex writing. Anyways we will update you when the tear down process starts as we will be doing it after this weekend's episode release!
NEW BUILDS, WIRING, SOFTWARE, SETTINGS, EPISODES!
Aug 8th 2022 @ 6:00 P.M.Did I ever tell you I really hate rewiring? Oh yeah it's a pain I hate it! But I can tell you this I have created 12 TikToks so far and have video content for about six more I'm planning on releasing on YouTube in TikTok over the next two days. A lot of really good stuff in there can't wait for you guys to see it hopefully it gives y'all a bunch of laughs and entices some of you to join and check out the podcast. We also hung up and wired our Bluetooth speakers for the surround sound We have a subwoofer and a center speaker with left and right two channel audio two speakers each I mean, and now we've hooked up the lower left and right and the higher left and right behind and side by side two speakers each system on the back wall of the studio. We've also begin the huge process of taking down tons of cable management zip ties Velcro desk mounted cable ties and twists and so much more there's still more to undo but that's what happens when you have OCD like me. I dropped my car off to be serviced at the car place, and set up the podcast for a possible video add-on or occasional best of clips show to be shown probably every episode will be uploaded to patreon for Patreon users and for free users will occasionally release a best of clips on the YouTube channel. Also we are replacing My partner's Wi-Fi router as it seems to be running on the same kind of platform the Flintstones cars run on or at least that's what I have gathered, As I watched it attempt to work on delivering a signal or at least that's what it called whatever it was attempting to claim to be doing humorously enough. Right now I am currently going through yet another distraction I did not intend on having to deal with and yet need to handle as some of the media organizers and various add-ons and server features like "Sonarr" or "Radarr" Did a lot more harm than it did good to our system as it seems to have just made a lot of 500MB all the way up to 5GB sized files that are all copies of the original perfectly working and original file that did not need to be copied renamed or moved However this was a renaming program and software that does intend to organize and specifically shuffle around the data by organizing it in a smaller file size which was supposed to be the main focus but wasn't, better naming practices like artist or TV show name, season, episode number, and so forth but in the end it just seemed to to a lot of copying and making empty files that are taking out the room but don't work and are useless so I've already gone through my movies, wrestling content and some other things I'm going through the stand-up comedy now and then the TV shows I'm almost done with I just have to go through the 75,000 mp4 videos I've already done all the other file types believe it or not It's basically just going through and seeing which files have thumbnails that aren't just the VLC file or software icon easily enough. We've just now decided to attempt and get our game installers back which is the only data we lost during all that data transfer and work, once we reinstall the operating systems will start running the recovery using Recuva x64, Run it on the 10 TB drive we have It's only just recently been erased and the last data it had was the media and the game installer so it'll be a fairly easy and straightforward recovery just very time expensive if you catch our drift.
NEW PODCAST EPISODE, TIKTOK CONTENT, OFFICE REWIRING, PC UPGRADES!
Aug 8th 2022 @ 5:42 A.M.You know for some reason this home assistant and the smart system we've chosen which is "Smart Life" or "Tuya" and getting those two to work together is the problem they're just such a pain and it doesn't seem to be very user friendly and I mean it's safe to consider us experts We know what we're doing but the system isn't working the way it should nor is it allowing us to load certain things no matter what we do It's interesting to say the least. However since we are redoing the office wiring we decided 202 finally redo the off lighting, the automatic lady, the shelf lights and even added some ambient lighting that is based on motion for the evening so that if my son wakes up or someone steps out of bed it lights up underneath with a warm white glow giving the room some light that it needs to see, I also did this with the couch just because it adds a nice little underglow that I enjoy. I've had a dream scene or ambient lighting TV backlighting system for ages that matches the screen and projects tons of RGB lights on the back wall behind the TV in order to add a little extra lighting and immersion to whatever we're watching It can be either sound or just match what's on the screen I bring this up because I bought two lighting bars that will do the same thing with razor chroma using my PC monitors. Hopefully I'll get it working I have them all synced and recognizing together However it doesn't change the lights how confusingly humorous. We put inventory lighting spotlights on the shelves, and an RGB strip light on the charging shelves, and on the PC component parts shelving we put an automatic lighting as well All motion sensors based. Definitely an improvement. Also we recorded an episode Saturday on the sixth! So you know what that means right?! That's right this Sunday! August 14th of the year 2022, well be absolutely releasing a brand new episode of "This Will Hurt You More Than Us" The Podcast By myself Chris Cowan, and my co-host Brad Munyan, on our secondary YouTube channel for comedy and social media sketches (click here) and all major podcast platforms! Here's a plethora of links for platforms and ways to listen. I released a video announcing this as well, as well as we are absolutely stepping up and ramping up our attempts are finding patreon supporters, or advertisers and sponsorships! We need to find a way to supplement these days we work on this show in order to not fall behind, because we love doing it. So before breaking down the computer and NAS I managed to get a little extra things done and squeezed into the itinerary fixed to client Xbox controllers, as well as their rechargeable game battery pack for the controllers and just two make sure I tightened our charging stations lighting strips and wiring because I think there might have been a potential have your issue but that is now squared away. Time to pull the whole system down, rewire everything, and still new lighting, install new operating systems once it's all rebuilt, do the networking, PC renaming and saw the software games everything that I need customize it all in the way I need it and much more and I'll update you later on! Thanks everyone!!
KODI BUILD, RETROPIE, TIKTOK & MORE!
July 29th 2022 @ 10:01 P.M.Why Is it I upload 10 videos and then one that is completely silly and only a few seconds long and completely random and took barely any effort is the one that makes the viral hit? You never know what's going to go around and around on the internet do you? Craziness. Anyways, we've released some new content on TikTok and YouTube shorts, as well as Instagram and Facebook. Finally got another drive added to the editing bay rig and we're now tearing down the office build and putting it back together for a better wiring and fixing some issues. We also fixed the USB wiring issue we had thank God. Currently we are building a massive add-on of repositories and features to the Kodi build inside of our retropie 4.8 build for the 128 GB model file. So the smart home automation is down to home assistant The rest of it is just not going to work for us and doesn't do what we need it to so we're out of luck on that. Anyways we will update you more later on See you guys soon.
AUTOMATION, TIKTOKS, STORAGE, DATA, AND MORE!
July 27th 2022 @ 1:53 A.M.So home assistant is far more complex and a pain than I previously had thought, looking into other options also it hates Tuya and the Iot deployment methods. I mean I'm still looking through some of the complex systems and trying to get it to work in a way that will be beneficial to the smart home and office. This weekend we should be starting to record for the podcast! This is exciting news I hope I mean it is for us and we are definitely happy to get back in the lab and we do have our new or rather our original foot replaced podcast recording hardware even got a new microphone out of it so there might be a little boost in quality or at least here's hoping. Hopefully you guys enjoy the work we've done on the website as we gave it a little uplift and added some changes to the format and the look give it a little sprucing and updated look. We Did finally release the announcement about us getting back to recording. Also released a bunch of TikToks and YouTube shorts. Nine of them so far and there’s a plan for a few more so you better go check them out, they're starting to get traction on TikTok a little bit but as always our YouTube shorts are far out in the head when it comes to views oddly enough. I don't think I will be releasing any more today but we'll see kind of trying to finish the rest of these things I am doing instead. Still working on a ton of renovation and home storage upgrades. Managed to get all the shelving up finally and read you the kitchen and the regular storage and it is so much better! The 128 GB image of our retro pie build is coming along nicely we are just about done scraping all the images and then we are going to install our attract mode front end and customize it! We can't wait to show off the video we will be making on social media to show it off. After all of that work on our data server I managed to lose my game installers which wasn't that important but still frustrating enough. We haven't gotten around to trying to get that 10 terabyte drive to finally recognize but we haven't been pressed on it either we've had a lot of different things to do. Well that about wraps it up for today, se you guys soon!
HOME UPGRADES & HOME AUTOMATION, RETROPIE, REWIRED, REBUILT, SO MANY CHANGES
July 19th 2022 @ 12:00 A.M.We've finally managed to bring my kitchen into the 21st century I have an air fryer now and I am ecstatic It has been in that much is true We have been rearranging and getting ready for a massive overhaul and update when it comes to the home and our cooking devices our doing a lot of upgrading a new fish tank is coming in very soon it is a automated unit that will actually automatically clean itself, is connected to the smart home hub and will notify me about PH balances the waters current temperature and condition any issues that may arise like it's literally will allow me to keep an eye on every possible situation as well as is a saltwater fish tank and come switch beautiful fish as I've Make sure to already. So, We will be finishing the Retropie 256GB Build tonight, As well as messing with the home automation that will have started and done pretty much conquered and made amazing It's already running in headless mode under my desk All it needs to do is be plugged in and it runs syncing everything. I went to the grocery store, got some food and bought these huge shelving units for storage for both the office and home those should look really good. Also I am getting ready to drop free TikToks as I speak all three of them are pretty good in my opinion. Actually there might be four haha. Now as far as it comes to the hard drive issues we've had we have managed to get all of the bad and temporary drives out and it is standing on its own However this 10 terabyte drive just refuses to show up in Windows which is getting really obnoxious and we have to figure out this issue. After playing some basketball with my son I managed to get some labeling in while tearing down the two office species, and rewiring everything and rebuilding it, as well as reinstall windows. However, I used the surface pro to connect to a thermal brother printer to do all the labeling for the office as I wanted a uniform and clean OCD appreciating look. Once it boots up I've got two two tons of installs of software and the networking and launch a Kodi server and customize that. While in the middle of all that and building the shelves and just in general office work and making some dinner in the air fryer, I got an email from the podcast equipment manufacturer saying they were going to replace it fully with no charge and killing me that I could use the spare broken one for parts or throw away as I keep fit which is just downright awesome of them We need more companies like this. I forgot to mention we did some upgrades to the office as well. We hung up the PC gaming controllers next to the PCs they connect to, and for the RetroPie we did the same thing at the TV screen in the office behind us. Now don't mind us we don't actually play video games that much but I was a teenager during the Renaissance of the bit wars, and then the very first PC master race debate where we were right and haven't been wrong since FYI. I mean I used to play Commode 64/128 games and you have no idea what It's like to type of this command to start any and all disks as it's interchangeable for any kind of media (which by the way you had but not remotely limited to' floppy disks, smaller hard disks, CD-ROMs at some point, zip discs, Iomega supper floppy disks, we had scanner codes from magazines that would give you a demo and accidentally release the full Rom the game, oh let's not forget you had follow the same rules as renting a movie be kind and rewind your cake set tape as the data would need to be started from the beginning of every time you played!) I will not even look this up I'm going to do it from about probably 80% correct solely based on memory alone approximation or estimation "Load,*,8,1' I know there was something belongs in the same line you had to write a in the beginning or after that but it was to load the eighth file in the program one and start it automatically with the star there was a purpose it wasn't that random. However, paying games since zork will amass you with a almost 25 terabyte game drive. Between steam, the emulation station builds,. Hyperstation, arcade attract mode, I'll type the back ends, the entire windows to PC from Xbox network cloud gaming or just there game pass games every month that automatically download and then delete when they're done, as well as the plethora of free games I get a month from the Xbox live giveaway and bought over the years I've mastered over 589 some still downloadable and installable games. However I have a game installer hard drive as well as I like the back everything up of course. Obviously. Plus all these games are perfect for benchmarking new tag PCs and gaming setups and whatnot. We shall post some photos of it on our business Loose Reality Inc TikTok sooner or later. Anyways enough of this, nobody reads it anyway, see ya guys!
STILL NO AUTOMATION, PODCAST EQUIPMENT, & REBUILD!
July 18th 2022 @ 2:00 P.M.
Well seems I like that time of the year again. I will be pulling down the main editing rig and the NAS / server for a short period today. I want to rewire things in a much better way and shift some monitors around. Also I haven't gotten to the home automation yet I've been having too much fun with the 256 GB version of our Retro Pi build also working on a recall box version. Let's see how the next few days go? Hmm? Thanks everyone!
EVERYTHING, AND ANYTHING, AND ALL AT ONCE; THE PERFECT STORM OF FAIL.
July 14th 2022 @ 7:00 P.M.Okay so next weekend we are supposed to have our first recording session for the podcast in like 2 months or so or at least it's felt that long since we've gotten to record an episode and I'm sure it's felt longer for you guys considering the last episode we did record got lost on a broken m.2 2 terabyte SSD that was destroyed and the only thing that got destroyed in the great shelf collapse of June 2022. Anyways, now that is going to be difficult as it is well outside the return window for Amazon, and I am now going through the company that makes the podcast equipment we use directly in order to get a new replacement unit as the second microphone inputs auxiliary cord insert just snapped off inside and when I removed the screws to see if it was something I could just fix or get over it with the cord I noticed it's snapped off the board entirely and would require a replacement part and soldering. However, thankfully there is probably a temporary fix we can do in order to record if that becomes necessary but is is just another thing going wrong in this terrible no good God awful bad day! So the Western digital red NAS specific 8 TB drive that is brand new within 6 months maybe less, purchase from the micro Center that is 45 minutes away from me in the great depression of a town called Essex. No, it is nothing like the town in England that it is named after unless you're going for the complete opposite, and a bunch of people that stay there from Baltimore, claim Baltimore, called their area Baltimore, however they live in Baltimore (County) not Baltimore (City) This is like calling the tiger encampment that Mike Tyson has in his backyard the jungles of the Amazon. Regardless, This drive had to be removed from the RAID Array of hard drive set are currently running the network attached storage server and everything else all of my data is held on a exactly two copy redundancy. However, without this seven terabyte it is to the point of mere megabytes left of storage before It's at its full 20 TB of current maximum capacity storage. Which creates a bunch of errors, issues, and problematic and continuous difficulties that only make everything that much more difficult. As you can tell already I do not need any more difficulty added to my workload as it is already at maximum capacity just like this RAID. So in order to forgo this issue and not have to deal with the weeks perhaps a month of waiting to hear back from Western digital as well as the possibility of not even getting the RMA drive and having it replaced, I just fit the bullet and cleared the drive removed it from the RAID, place it in a hot swapable dock on the same server, and bought and installed a 10 TB drive Now there is just another whole bunch of data swapping and moving around and copying and pasting that I have to do just like the last few months where the website was severely lacking in updates and attention due to the amount of data work I was doing. However this will be a little more effortless and hopefully quick. I believe with this drive out of the raider Ray my speeds should quadruple in transferring data speed improvement. This remains to be seen. As far as it goes with the home automation I have yet to get the Raspberry Pi 3B that we have to boot without the "Home Assistant" Just telling me there was no ethernet found and hanging on that boot sequence as it needs an ethernet for the first setup. I have used seven different ethernet cables and seven different network switch ports, I've even hooked it directly up to the network switch, then the network Wi-Fi router itself. I did some troubleshooting and it seems to be that it doesn't like any of the power adapters I have and I only have a power adapter made for a Raspberry Pi for the Raspberry Pi 4. So it is being installed in a virtual machine and currently being installed and ran next. Currently I am still working on my Windows 11 server virtual machine once that is complete and all set up I will begin the home automation virtual machine. I didn't want to run it in docker because I find that doctor is far more unreliable and prone to nonsensical and problematic issues that are quite literally made up at times or at least that's what it feels like especially today. I did finally get my hands on the USB-C hub We so desperately needed for our devices in order to increase the speeds and connections of our devices but also improve its reliability and functions. Hopefully soon everything in the system will be done transferring and so secure that I won't be afraid to disconnect things and see if it makes the difference or not as it stands currently I am not ready to make that bold move. I have however throughout the day during various install periods and updates and raspberry pi for retropie build customizing and installing, to do a little bit of work on mounting some of our tech artwork as well as a metric planetary volume mass level amount of free wiring I mean I'm not even remotely kidding when I say I probably dealt with my weight in cables and just mount cabling products in order to rewire a ton of different devices and just in general improve the cable management and the functionality trying to get rid of some unnecessary ethernet cables redundant cables and anything that's no longer in use things of that nature it took several hours. No jokes. Also a pots a desktop whiteboard Yes I know I have hundreds of them already but this one also has an organizer and is for the desk itself might get rid of one of these older ones here shortly. I did some inventory on our hard drives our memory expansion cards and other and good gravy that was so much! Anyways this update is getting to be massive thanks to my major projects tend to be however we are finishing up the containers and docker for Windows 11 and just generally testing that operating system out now and then next is the home automation setup and we're hoping to just jot down how far we get ahead in that program here by the end of this update. Seriously it failed, along with more server issues, check the social media posts and our TikToks and YouTube shorts for an amazing amount of if it can fail it will and look at it fail spectacular clips and skits that are 100% what's happening this evening and everyone else I hope you have a better one than I am! I will update everyone once this evening of storms are over! Talk later everyone!
RG350 HANDHELD SOFTWARE, AUTOMATION, TIKTOK & MORE!
July 13th 2022 @ 5:00 P.M.So we haven't even remotely gun started on releasing the announcement on the podcast playlist so that people will get it which we need to do very soon. We have gotten five different images for the Raspberry Pi 4 which are: RetroPie 4.8, Lakka, Bactcerta, RecalBox, and Pi Entertainment System, all of which will have custom images by the end of this week for our customers who want them. All five of these are burning systems will be available for the Raspberry Pi 3 and the Raspberry Pi 4. Any other devices can be done custom made through requests. We're still working on our home Automation program and software it's really a big ordeal. However, the ALR Retro handheld You can purchase online the RG350; we have built a custom image for the internal micro SD card that allows us to Make it much more streamlined and space saving. This will be added to our images for our customer soon. Not to mention we have the Nintendo Wii SD card hack finalized! So if you want emulators and a awesome modified Nintendo Wii just let us know. Anyways time for work and less typing Well more typing just a different type see you guys soon!.
RASPBERRY PI 4 BUILDS, SOCIAL NEWS, PLUS MORE!
July 12th 2022 @ 10:39 P.M.We finally got in our raspberry Pi 4! Which means we are now setting up a build to feature and take advantage of all of raspberry Pi 4 new features and possibilities when it comes to retropie builds. We are going to make sure that we overclock it in the profile, we will be adding the new emulator and from let go with them, featuring launching images, videos and scraped games and much more. With having the new raspberry Pi unit we've decided to test out and run a home automation-based raspberry Pi server using the raspberry Pi 3 we have on hand now. We've got a couple of different home automation smart home server and other operating systems that can run on a raspberry Pi resident test like; OpenNetHomr, LinuxMCE, Jeedom, Domoticz, OpenHab, MisterHouse, and the required home assistant. Also just to let you know we did fix the issue with the old template for the podcast website. We are releasing some TikTok and YouTube shorts today hopefully it'll get as much traction and reach as our recent content with just under 30k in less than 4 days!
TIKTOKS GALORE, MORE GAME CONSOLES, & OTHER NEWS!
July 9th 2022 @ 3:00 P.M.Just uploaded five brand new pieces of tick tocks and YouTube shorts that are pretty hysterical actually. We created a metric ton of options for our raspberry Pi retro gaming systems as we just added RecallBox, Lakka, Batocera x64, and the latest Pi Entertainment Center software, Taking a break for a while and then I'm going to be going out and testing it off and seeing what systems bring up the best luck on compatibility, add-ons, and anything else we feel works. Oh just got more subscribers on YouTube we are now up to 75, and have made over 65,000 views in the last two weeks and the five videos we just uploaded or so are already at over twenty thousand views! Wow at this rate the podcast channel will reach monetization point before my business YouTube will make it and that's over 12 years old on this I'm so proud of you guys!
CONSOLE BUILDS, TIKTOKS, WEBSITE CHANGES & MORE!
July 8th 2022 @ 7:00 P.M.So what do you know? Look at this I'm back back again Tell a friend Shady is back back again! So devastatingly enough we've been having a difficult time getting the changes to the font and little cohesive and continuity breaking thematic changes to actually stick once we publish the updates and make the changes, However it does indeed look like at this point we have corrected the issue magically shout out to our web host for being as erratic and unstable as always wouldn't be a day that ends in y if we didn't have host problems humorously enough It's part of our charm don't you think? Yeah me either. Now on a different note we have made some significant upgrade installs to the server and retro console arcade PC we have here at the office Well technically it's just it's kind of the jack of all trades PCs and currently has more purposes than I do personalities. These updates are changing our admittedly outdated GTX 960 GPU out for a much more up to date RTX 2060! Yes indeed it's a major ray tracing update for server media and coding, video playback, and front end and back end video game emulation and native running should be a impressive little update. Especially considering, we went from two cheap no descript bare PCB SK Hynix branded Ram modules making it it 32 GB of 2600hz DDR4 CL16 total, which considering we have a Ryzen 9 3800x 12 Core/24 Thread 4.6 GHz all core overclocked and liquid cooled CPU that is notoriously looking for dual or quad memory channel modules with speeds at least in the 3300MHz neighborhood it is running much smoother and consistently improved across the board! Now, we're just about done with oue proudly best compiled "Loose Reality Inc RetorPie 4.8 Master Build" setup and service build, and then Once that's complete it looks like we will be jumping head first into having some fun and really broadening our comfort zone by a far margin considering we will be installing with berry boots some various other RetroPir alternatives to see what other builds and services we can offer; Lakka, Batocera, Pi Entertainment Center, Recall Box and more! Oh, yes we are restoring our modded Nintendo Wii back to it's entire United States release game selection as well as its impressive list of retro and not so retro game console emulators, running the entire USA release catalog for GameCube, Dreamcast, Sega Saturn, Sega Master System, SG-1000, Sega CD, Sega Pico, Sega Genesis, Sega Game Gear, Nintendo Entertainment System, Super Nintendo, Nintendo 64, Virtual Boy, Nintendo Famicom, Super Famicom, Calecovision, Intellevision, Commodore 64, Gameboy, Gameboy Color, Gameboy Advance, Atari 800 series computers, Atari ST, Atari Lynx, Atari Jaguar, Atari 2600, Atari 5200, Atari 7800, Final Burn Alpha Pro, Plenty of Mame cabinets and systems, Arcade Cabinets, Vectrex, Tandy-CoCo, Commodore Vic 20, Panasonic 3DO, The Daphne Laserdisc Collections, Amiga, Apple 2 & Macintosh, DosBox, PC Engine / TurboGrafx 16 & TurboGrafx CD, NeoGeo CD, NeoGeo, MSX, MSX 2, game and watch, dragon 32, Fairchild Channel F, FM Towns Marty, OpenBor/Love/AGS Game Systems, Nintendo 3DS, Nintendo DS, Nintendo DSI, ZX Spectrum, Z Machine, Wonderswan / Wonderswan Color, Video Pac, TRS-80, Texts Instruments TI-83 & TI-99 From RadioShack, Tic80, PSP, PSP Vita, PlayStation 1 / PlayStation 2, ResidualVM/ScummVM, Solarus, Commodore CD32, Windows 3.1 / Windows 95 / Windows 98 / Windows XP (Not all games run on the Wii) The Wii Shop Minis Library in Entirety, not to mention a TON of mix and match old school ports, Netflix built in, Plex offspring to connect to your Plex server, HTTP or FTP or SAMBA rom share with your network / external HDD / USB drive / Network shares. We've placed the entire released in America games of each game console by their own officially catalog of games released for each console. They're all stored on a single SD card, mind you were still working out this custom system image and Wii Console Mod Service example and system videos for selling the service and the final SD card size will be languageable and disgust later on once we finish adding all of the emulators and the various tools. We will also be offering a cheap couple 100s of MBs USB Thumb Drive filled with already pre-installed and preset up with your system when we make it or whatever service we may offer if we just send you the SD card to pop into your Nintendo Wii,, we will customized it to set up with the thumb drive of Windows PC tools to maintain, backup, add games, and a huge repository where you will be able to just drag and drop any emulators, game platforms, homebrew games, media tools, audio tools, server tools, Nintendo Wii Mini Games, and much more! Plus they'll all be seen and easily set up on the Wii's channels every one of the emulators or a game backup or a homebrew app, it'll be installed on your front page which colors will be custom to your picking and so much more custom paint jobs and physical Nintendo Wii modifications so long as you send your own Nintendo Wii into us to modify. This way Nintendo can't come at us with pitchforks. Can't forget our 528 total GBs of hacked and modded Nintendo 3Ds get The same treatment next so keep your eyes out people! After noticing an issue I did some much needed cable management and changes to some of the wiring on the main editing rig and office control center that managed to free up some space and even give me some quite frankly and unfortunately sadly desperately needed ports freed up and now able to be used giving me far less issues constantly so that's nice. Well I've got to go record this voiceover at least for the podcast and do all the rest of this work we'll see you later! Oh and go watch our tons of new TikToks & YouTube Shorts!
PODCAST UPDATE, WEBSITE THEMES AND BUGGERS AND CONTENT!
July 6th 2022 @ 8:57 A.M.You guys notice the brand new layout Well good We like it too but now we got to go through the entire website and make sure everything text and format-wise is uniformed and matches and is pleasing to the eye This will be done by the time you see this I'm sure. We told you! We are working on battering our services, social media, what pages, and everything in between. Today we have gotten rid of our jellyfish server as it just wasn't up to par with our standards and wasn't running at all at a accomplishable speed or with enough processes to make it worth its miniscule system drain. We are still working on tons of more server services and will update you throughout the day. In fact now that we just went through and double checked it's all fixed! The podcast site is also updated with a new podcast release announcement about the up and coming episode by the end of the month! Also we released A TON of new YouTuber shorts and some new TikToks, already gained aver 50k in views in less than 4 hours! Wow! We're working currently on transcoding and using a server to do so and setting it up to automatically search for content, via the servers, either comedy mp3s, wrestling videos, tv shows, movies, whatever you might have thousands of and shrink it the best compression size and the best quality while saving terabytes worth of space! Also couch potato and media organizers making sure the files, folders, and file names are all perfect and synched. Setup along side automatic show updates and downloads, subtitle options, cinematic trailers to every series and movie, images of the box art and IMDB page. Were also working on a Retro pie like service ran off a server strictly allowing you to emulate up to a PS3 game from our server directly! No machine or anything but a Bluetooth controller needed! Going through some of these possible Linux substrate and doctor-based programs that allow us to do a lot more within Windows than we used to be able to, I have come across the Plex media manager, gaps which allows for searching through your media server and tells you what movies and TV shows you should watch and add based on your current content, cloud server and Windows backup and Linux restoring machines that save system images of our clients and myself and is able to pull up and repair systems at a women's notice. Overseerr; which is a request management and media discovery tool that allows me to add the ability to this search for something and find a way to add it to my Plex Media and other servers. Working on a comic book specific server future, a YouTube archival and automatically updating playlist and video downloader and video accumulator, since we've already got our product manual server, our regular books and audiobook servers lost and running we're now working on a image portfolio and our own YouTube shorts and TikTok and Facebook video back up and server host for automatically keeping all of those up to date without having to download or save them ourselves. We're working on putting together a backup and duplication system that I'll allow us to make exact duplicate copies of data for our redundant NAS which has almost 30 terabytes of space split into half for two copies of everything, plus two external hard drives equaling up to 18 terabytes that together account for a secondary off PC and network connected only backed up redundancy data source. If you guys have got to check out this amazing phone, tablet, Android TV, basically any kind of Android device emulation and virtual machine launcher that I have got going at any time I can test out my applications and software that I design for APK and Android mobile devices on any kind of device currently I have the latest Google pixels, the Samsung 22 ultra, the flagship phones in every Android category and working on iOS. Anyways, I do believe with the amount of work I have to do in making our server get the upgrades it needs in order to create the dual purpose front end massive hundreds of systems and consoles hundreds of thousands of games, console I need to get to work and do some research on frontends. Have a good one everyone see you soon!
NEW RETROPIE BUILD, SPLASHES, TIKTOK CONTENT, & MORE!
July 5th 2022 @ 4:01 A.M.Working on the last of our brand new video splash screens for our 2022 refresh builds for RetroPie console buyers and our clients who can upgrade their SD card images which is only $10.00 If you've ever purchased a system from us, had a custom one built, or any of our custom firmware and image builds. Created a brand new and stunning selection of eight different possible video splash screens that show off the Loose Reality Inc produced RetroPie game console build, It's version information our website's and just generally a good amount of information that would be useful or on front of any game console boot sequence. We've put them for a limited time on our unlisted YouTube channel links under the portfolio that way you guys can get a look at the work. Giving our older users the option to upgrade or continue using theirs. We are also releasing a YouTube and TikTok and other social media video showing off the new features of the new builds, the boot screens, splash screen, new emulators, the video and Marquee information scrolling, the scrapped games and so forth. That will be posted by the time this update goes live. We've also managed to finally get all the lighting and other smart office and home features working properly in the office studio now. We've also managed to finally finish all the storage issues and problems. All those woes are behind us now! By the end of the hour This process will be entirely complete and will be like a dream come true honestly. As currently I am just validating that all the files from the backup drive so the same size and ratio and folders and that all the copies were completed fully and successfully. Validating all the data. Then we will be working on tons more media server services for our clients, right now we just added a new video intro for any time any of our TV series or movies or any other content is opened a pre-roll video of our website and thanking our clients and customers shows for a brief 3 seconds, it's just a really cool add-on that makes it personal and shows our gratitude. Anyways, it's off too getting even more done and finding more things to do.
ROM RELOCATION, LAST LAST OF STORAGE WOES & MORE!
June 24th 2022 @ 6:00 A.M.So currently it's looking like about 12 hours to move the last of the ROMs for emulators and after that everything is done as far as it comes to moving the data and dealing with the storage drives and that whole issue that was never ending. Seems to be that it is finally in the lasting stages of completing We have redundancy raid servers set up for all of our data giving us two copies ofn All of our data automatically now this is off-site and on-site so we're excited. Not to mention we have finally finished scraping all the games from the website scraping services it was a pain and we ended up using a patreon award just to achieve it however every video game has multiple pictures the manual a video and other types of descriptions. We managed to set up some of the home automation however the motion sensors aren't quite what we imagined and or wanted as they just seemed to lose sight of the individual within minutes and shut everything off. We're looking to replace them with better ones that can sense people without activating the sensors and shutting off or turning on things. They were hard enough to connect considering you had to reset it multiple times. Tuya or smart life is such a potential headache. Anyways it's looking like it's back into the shadows for now and we'll talk to you later We hope you have a great weekend and keep us posted go check out our social media as we have posted some new videos that are getting a lot of hits! Thanks everyone!
RETROPIE BUILDS & TIKTOK CONTENT!
June 22nd 2022 @ 9:40 P.M.
Well it's good to be back as we are down to pretty much the very last 25% or so of file saving and recovery and movements between drive so you know like three more updates or three days at least and it will be completely done! That game's installer drive, I don't think I've ever had a longer lasting single solitary folder of data in my life. It lasted over 17 days straight in order to move all this data at one drive to the next. How crazy is that? They do say window storage spaces parody drives slow it down a lot. Now we've got some tick tocks we released for Father's Day weekend and a plethora of other videos that have made it viral and actually gotten plenty of comments on it to YouTube shorts So if you guys want to go check that out it looks great! Now I'm hoping we can just find a way to get these motion sensors to work permanently unfortunately they just stop sensing that the human bodies are in front of them and they turn off the lights automatically and then you have to move around and wiggle and it's just frustrating and we're looking for motion sensors that will keep a pair of lights on until they notice that the person is left and that the motion sensor will have a wide enough range. However these might just be in need of a much better positioning and will be tooling with them to see. Now as far as the RetroPie is concerned! We have rocket We are moving on to the finalized version of choosing from the multi-different back ends you can choose from and/or having a loader for it, not to mention we do have the launching images running so that when you watch a game it shows you a picture of the system and the game, where are going to do scraping for the video game videos manuals and screenshots. We don't have a million different rooms, however we have every room that you've played in America for every system we've played for and you will enjoy yourself more than enough there's over 250,000 games on here not to mention a steam link in plenty of other amazing software like the moonlight PC remote play. Not to mention we did install a ton of extra features you guys have no idea that is happening behind the scenes and we can't wait to show you guys!
SUPER OMEGA UPDATE ABOUT EVERYTHING!
June 20th 2022 @ 5:32 A.M.
Even more updates concerning raspberry pies as we are working on creating some serious heaters including a Recall Box build, Lakka Build, Batocera.Linux, Kali Linux Sideloaded, Pi Entertainment Center, plus more operating system build, a bunch others. Plus I think we've managed to ad full remoting to and from Windows PC functionality finally as there was some issues with it at first but now it is running fine! We are going to offer a ton of different images of the ISO which is just at disc image for thosE who weren't sure. Each of these just images will be a different dual or more booting options for the retro consoles, media servers, internet of things offerings, The pen testing operating systems, the regular desktop and light desktop Linux distros, and the plethora of other offerings. Tomorrow It looks like our new smart office and home automation products will be arriving and should be a fun install for the day. We definitely have the retro pie image sorted out We are working on some of the other bugs and getting moonlighting and a lot of other things working. Currently doing a lot of cleaning and attempting to find my medication that seems to have disappeared this afternoon. However today we need a break and tomorrow will be all about the offices smart office features and updates we'll see you then!
MEDIA SERVER UPDATES & MORE RETROPIE UPGRADES
June 19th 2022 @ 4:30 P.M.
So we're down to the wire almost when it comes to the server data migration just got the emulation (basically just our collection of ROMs and emulators) and the last bit of game installers to move and man am I excited to never have to work with it again as far as I wish. Now in the process of working with our new raspberry pie and retropie builds we came into an error and had to restart unfortunately however since we are downgrading the amount of grams that are uselessly taking up space on the build and using more of the network attached to storage and USB wireless based RO m installs we can focus more on offering even more Raspian backend based updates. So X-Cloud server and X-Box's game pass will now be playable on the raspberry pi retro builds. Not to mention steam link is finally fully operable and working perfectly which offers the ability to not just use it to play steam games but you can also use it to remote connect to your PC and control it in a roundabout way however we will be also Have the Raspbian build that's built into the RetroPie image we use we'll also have a remote desktop manager but it'll also be in the port section of the RetroPie front end. Along with the x cloud server and steam link so everyone will know where it is and easily have access to it. Now there are hundreds of different Raspbian-based links games that you can play with the back end and we're going to install not all of them but a couple of the best and have links for the ports to install the others so as soon as you find one you like you can just click it and it'll install. Each with videos and pictures and the description of what that game is. We're also working on a high scores saving and displaying feature for some of the older and more arcade based games. Our doss and older PC systems are working nicely too When we talked about making a major update to this system we weren't kidding were we? Now we're still working on an our Hackintosh in the background and over time but in the meantime We are finishing up some apple product-based Macintosh and iOS services and just general refreshment on learning and education for these services. We are also still working on a ton of different type of servers software and things like jellyfish adding features to our current network area storage devices server. Plus right now in the office we are fixing the all-in-one PC stand that has the charging center station in it and that whole section in order to have some more storage and just a better experience. I mean I can't explain how happy we are to be back at work doing things other than just storage manipulation! By the way we released a ton new amount of tick tocks and shorts if you haven't seen it yet!
MASSIVE UPDATES AND NEW RETROPIE SERVICES AND SOCIAL MEDIA!
June 18th 2022 @ 4:30 P.M.
Another massive update?? Yeah, why not? When we are productive and busy we just like to keep it on a roll! I'm currently squeezing in as much work as I can before my son has himself a friend over for the evening on Friday. Currently we are about 82% complete with migrating all of the data finally the last little bit of data that we're moving is the game installers and steam cache storage. We use that here in order to speed up the process of installing steam games on different systems and benchmarking chest systems or builds as well as Just ease of use for reinstallation of our favorite games. Now, besides this we are also working on our massive inexpensive collection of emulation and roms, which is in perfect timing as we are working on one of our community offerings and free downloads as well as services by updating and adding new features and functionality as well as dwindling games down to one copy of every game for each system, adding background music, loading in custom Raspbian desktop based on Linux for functionality as well as Kodi and then even adding repos to no end and installing Plex, Netflix Amazon Prime, Disney +, Paramount, HBO, WWE Network, Peacock, AMC+, basically any and all streaming services you could possibly want or think of as well as adding a host of VPN connected automatically at no cost streaming and even couch potato based automation download of your favorite series and films type of services on the media streaming side of Kodi. The Raspian Lennox distribution is going to be a lightweight quick and easy web-based programs and applications, computer that you can run from your PC it will have linux's software integration so that new users can use this Linux without any major issues and easily get the hang of it without any problem. We're also integrating the high scores function, adding a ton of overlays, grids, scans, controller functionality and compatibility, bezels, screen resolution choices, and a bunch of other retrofits, it's exciting! Adding a couple of different features like a screensaver that for the first 10 minutes will play various videos from your favorites or just any video games, all of these videos will be a part of the videos, video game cover art, and description, that will play when you highlight any system and game. We have activated the easiest drag and drop from your PC or phone ROMs, splash screens, configs and bios files directly to mapable network drives and easily accessible in any PC on the same Ethernet or WiFi's "Network" section under your "This PC" in file manager on any windows machine, transferring at anywhere from 10 to 100 megabytes per second if not more depending on your network. We're also activating the feature that allows you to run ROMs off of a network storage solution currently we're working on running PS2 games and more large ISO and base files from the NAS itself in an effort to cut down on space for our users who don't have 128 GB or more to spare on their micro SD cards as they're expensive and needless if you have network functionality. Not to mention we have finally got remote steam play working perfectly allowing you to take every last bit of your Windows PC or God forbid Apple iOS device and remote play with your controller hooked up to your RetroPie, through the TV any game on your PC or steam account! We've got to admit, We might be going above and beyond offering a lot of different services not everyone will want but these services will if you use them be extremely helpful and slow you away considering big picture mode with steam alone runs almost flawlessly. We're going crazy When it comes to the amount of ports and various add-ons and mods we're going to be adding so far it'll be Adventure Game Studios, Cannonball, CaveStory, Commander Keen, Descent, Dinothawr, Doom, Duke Nukem 3D, Limelight, Lincity, Marathon, Microplois, Minecraft, OpenTTD, OpenTyrian, Quake, ResidualVM, SDLPop, Solarus, Straragus, Super Mario World, Super Tux, The Ur Quan Masters, Wolfenstein 3D, and finally Xrick. Now this doesn't include The amount of different WADS and mods, hacks, game maps, and various add-ons we will be pushing into the very Duke nukem 3D, Quake, Wolfenstein, and so forth games Don't forget OpenBor, This is essentially going to be stuffed to the gill with knockoffs, mods, different versions and whatever side scrolling beat them up and RPG goodness we can find! We're also going to be working on what was our weak spot on our last builds which was the overlays, scanlines, and supplying the bios files for systems, as well as secondary emulators for systems that are known to be a little particular about which game will work. So far we have gotten Xbox 360, PS3, 8-bit dough, regular Bluetooth controllers, N64 USB controllers, PS4 controllers, Ouya controllers, Mobile gamepads, virtual gamepads, steel series Bluetooth controllers, The Wii U pro game pads, Wiimotes, some joy cons, switch pro controllers, basically any system that has a USB retro controller will work. We fixed a ton of the hardware optimization for the Nintendo 64 with a slight overclock and fixed the underpowered voltage issue released a brand new splash screen, and optimized the Sega CD and Dreamcast emulators as well. We've been able support for net play, the cheats, shaders and smoothing, retro achievements, and more through the retroarc back end. Were working with the experimental and lesser known mods and add-ons like the frontend "MehStation" Finally we're looking into safe sharing and editing, over scan, and a ton more that we're going to add on. It's nice to be finally getting back to projects and services and upgrading something we've done before! Oh yes not to mention we are releasing a ton of new content today so keep your eyes peeled and your faces focused on us! It is time for a much-needed break after a long day's worth of work getting things up to this point, did a ton of office and yard work that needed to be done. Plus we're working on securing the motion sensors, and a ton of other brand new devices to add to the automation and smart security and home office, very exciting times! Also we've decided that the main Loose Reality Inc tik Tok will be used for mental health awareness and sharing posts, as well as updates on projects we're getting ready to release one on the RetroPie upgrade now! There's already a couple of really good and deep mental health struggle and awareness videos that have been posted right alongside our proud videos of our company products and offers. The #ALRINCTV TikTok account will be kept mainly for promoting the podcast with comedy sketches and viral challenges, trends, jokes, stand up, and humors sketches we like to do a ton of the duets and stitches trying to think outside of the boxes of the typical no original thought on TikTok or distinguishable joke originations, We like to try and also share some of our more wholesome and family-based videos featuring our kids from time to time so it's a nice little mix match of different content we share there. However, I were YouTube shorts and podcast channel also named #ALRINCTV has the mental health struggle and awareness videos, and everything else I just mentioned all posted there together The only thing we don't post there is the company projects, portfolio editions, visual content and stuff like that that is to do with Loose Reality Inc and not the podcast or Just social media posts. We're trying to keep our brands separate and distinguishable and keep a clear and precise separation for professionalism and clarification really It's just a general good rule of thumb and idea to keep the business separated from many of the opinions, or jokes and humor shared on the more creative side of the sister company for lack of a better terminology. Now, While the raspberry pie and retropie is doing its thing and the content is gathering views we are also working on Being able to offer some brand new services and apple-based product options and choices for our clients and community, currently I am working on jailbreaking a ton of donated and borrowed Apple MacBook pro 2011 and above laptops, as well as a ton of iPhones from the iPhone 8 all the way up and working on what various ways I can jailbreak, mod, and change things around. I just enjoy putting things in front of me and going through each and every option choice and little crevice of menu and developer options while learning it s bits and pieces and seeing what I can learn from this process. Mind you we wouldn't even be here on this website where writing this ridiculously long update on a very productive and busy day, if I hadn't infuriated my father once upon a time by taking apart our excruciatingly expensive for how primitive it was commodore 64 he came home with it Taking apart from each and every individual screw and peace and laid out in the living room in a very specific and overly engineered for a PC lane on top of a staticky carpet living room floor with shad carpeting in the early '80s, after my father finished having a mild stroke and not at all causing any childhood trauma or blank spots in my memories I showed him That I could still put it back together and I did and this is how I have taught myself everything that I have learned and mastered and offer on this website still to this day!
80% DATA FINISHED, LIVESTREAMING, GAME STREAMS, SKETCHES, BACK TO BUSINESS!
June 15th 2022 @ 7:22 P.M.
So, We are nearing that final hour of data migration, finally moving the last two major portions of data that we need to secure and move over to the new NAS storage server. Hopefully this will be the last update that features any information or updates regarding this long and tedious and unnecessarily difficult journey of a process with our company and personal data storage issues. On a brighter side, we have released at least five new YouTube shorts and TikToks, not to mention we also released them on Instagram. Speaking of which, with all the views, reaches, engagements, new followers, and new community members we have decided to start doing some Instagram live streams until we can do so on TikTok. We might also do some live streams on YouTube as well. I will personally be doing the research and seeing what each one of the live streams retrospectively on Instagram and YouTube will require and, the necessary things and other issues I'll need to iron out and work out in order to accomplish. I will definitely keep the website of dated and inform everyone when we start doing the live streams. We are still aiming for both Brad, and myself to start doing retro and some current PC and console game streaming from time to time on OBS, string labs, twitch and YouTube very soon We have already set up the accounts and programmed everything that we need in order to do so, we have just been inundated with wedding, moving homes, This server and NAS storage issue, covid-19, and plenty of other unexpected and quite frankly unwelcomed interruptions It has been utterly exhausting We can attest to that much. We haven't other than news and updates and a small few format, text, font, coloring, and CSS / HTML tiny edits made any massive or major changes to the websites, neither the podcast site or this Loose Reality Inc website, which is a unusual and quite frankly disappointing in our own eyes rarity as we typically continue and strive to always be updating, improving, upgrading, and innovating our websites, client outreach, social media, community offerings, downloads, new services and products, more interactivity, more interacting with our fans, clients, and community members, more relevant content everyone has been suggesting or requesting and just generally building up and improving the overall community platform. Which now with the podcast being on holiday and break until at least mid July, and the data problems and redundancy issues being within 80% completion, we should be returning and maintaining our focus back to providing everything I just spoke of and about as it pertains to the website, the community, the platforms, the downloads and everything else. You guys we are committed and excited to be finally getting things back to normal and the regularly scheduled format of business as usual, we appreciate everyone's kind words of encouragement and not to mention the abundance of truly appreciated and genuinely kind-hearted patients you have all shown us over the course of the last month or so, maybe more as honestly I have lost track of how long this problem has been haunting us, however we're so happy to be close enough to this being the final update before everything's back to normal that we are comfortable in making this statement! Thank you everyone and we look forward to seeing you again soon!
TINY DATA, PODCAST, TIKTOK & YOUTUBE SHORTS, & MORE!
June15th 2022 @ 4:00 a.m.
Still moving back all this data, it's almost all completely moved over to the new storage NAS. However believe it or not we may have run across a problem with one of our Western digital red NAS drives. We've already started the process of RMing it out to Western digital and having a new one sent back to us. This process has been arduous to say the least. We'll Be glad when it's all finished and the server is set back up perfectly most of the services are running and concurrently perfectly fine and have redundant storage already. Especially those of anything to do with our customers or clients or the community. We are aiming for a mid-July return for the podcast as Brad will be finishing up his move and then has a motorcycle trip He will be doing. We're excited to get everything back to normal here We hope everyone bears with us while we continue getting back to normal here! No we do want to say that in the last 7 days alone we've had 20,000 plays/watches on our YouTube shorts which equates to about 72.5 hours worth of watch time and it is garnished us 15 new subscribers, Now mind you 56 subscribers in total have subscribed to our YouTube, 180.1 hours watched time, and 39.1k is the lifetime amount of these statistics which should give you an idea of just how much we've grown in the last bit of time. Our tick-tocks top 10 videos have over 10,000 plays. We've been blown away by the amount of love and kindness we've seen shown towards our attempts to entertain and educate everyone! We honestly could not be more prouder or explain how much this genuinely means to us! Thank you everyone!
SERVER ALMOST COMPLETE, TIKTOK/YOUTUBE/VIRAL, & RETURN TO SITE UPDATES!
June 9th 2022 @ 9:12 P.M.
We've done it! About 8% of the server &/or NAS build is back up together and running and spectacular although all the striped and copied backup redundancy message in preparations are kind of slowing down the progress to a crawl much slower than it was getting everything off of the old server, but it's going none the less. Not to mention ladies and gentlemen, we have over 25 terabytes of storage. It's a pretty big update and we're pretty thrilled about it actually we're ecstatic. Oh yes, Not to mention we are getting an incredible number of views Some videos will go viral on our YouTube shorts or uploads, others will go viral on TikTok and it depends on if it's on the YouTube Portfolio channel or the actual podcast channel sometimes one video will get 12k on tick tock and three views on YouTube or vice versa it's kind of crazy but we've uploaded over 40 different social media clips jokes and sketches in the last few weeks thank you everyone! If only I didn't lose my phone's stylus today it'd be a perfect day! Anyways we will be returning to our main focus being the website and getting this updated more often We hope you enjoy.
PODCAST 4 WEEK BREAK, FINISHED DATA CHECKING, NAS NEWS!
June 8th 2022 @ 9:01 p.m.
Finally! We have figured out everything as it pertains to the data and NAS storage server here at the office! Not only that but we've now got 10 Terabytes worth of external storage to use as a redundancy storage location but also we purchased an entire second and massive hard drive just for redundancy purposes and replacing the four terabytes we're losing But making sure that once we decide on our new operating system for the server that we will still have redundancy in our raid array or storage pool. Still doing some research and deciding on whether or not we're going FreeNas, unRAID, or just doing what we are already had done. However we want to increase productivity and usefulness for us and our clients of course! We're just now going down and matching file per file to assure ourselves of every bit of data integrity and being accounted for. Now when it comes to the podcast, currently one of us are in the process of a big move and due to the sudden nature of it and stress we are taking a short break, Not to mention we lost an episode due to the server issue as well. So please bear with us as we work through making sure we have our personal lives in order before we can continue recording comfortably and easily without making it more difficult or stressful on our already busy schedule, we appreciate everyone's patience and kindness and hope you will all still be here when we get back very soon! Thank you and we love you!
LONG LIST LIKE JERICHO, SHELVES CRASHING, NAS DASHING, MADNESS!
May 28th 2022 @ 11:30 A.M.
Well when it comes to creating content for our skits and comedy sketches I'll tell you what we've been on quite the role! We've released just shy of 20 new little pieces to our TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube shorts on our podcast YouTube channel All of which are available now to watch at your leisure and might I suggest you definitely check them out because they are hilarious! Not to mention the numbers of views, watch time, retention and just the amount of general community and fan engagement is amazing and so inspiring and exciting it just keeps that creative juice flowing for making more content and coming up with more ideas for that content! You guys keep me pumped and excited. Thank you so much! For all the views, comments, likes, shares and everything in between! Now when it comes to the office unfortunately due to some faulty installing The shelving units that are over top PC as well as the monitors apparently when installed by the individual who did the install and drywall originally missed the studs by enough and eventually this caused the whole right two shelving units to come crashing done upon the wall mounted editing rig, the surface pro digital graphic drawing tablet, and the server/storage Nas which we still hadn't fully completed the backup, thankfully we did back up all the important files first of course. Lots of media and other files that would be hard to lose still stored that location and that location alone due to only recently having the storage capacity to do redundancy storage raid arrays. Thankfully it looks like everything is still in working order and just fine with the exception of the fact the NAS that was biting into automatic repair. Which is very worrisome considering all of the options for resorting to an old system image or uninstall recent updates or recent feature updates as well as just resetting in general has failed to get me back into my Windows operating system. I'm going to try reseating the m.2 as well as tinkering with some other ideas in order to attempt a repair, once I get into Windows I will be transferring the files as fast as I can to a temporary location I only have to get media and game installers as well as a couple of other personal items off of the server all of the work and podcast and client data has already been saved and backed up and has redundant off-site storage as well for that information. Just an FYI tomorrow is another episode release day! Are you guys looking forward to the new episode as much as Brad and myself are? I believe this is episode 13 and we can't believe we have made it this far and we are just excited to continue sharing this content on all these new platforms and to our new and old community and fans you guys have no idea how much this has meant to both Brad and myself. Both of us, have had days where we felt like meeting up and recording was the last thing either one of us wanted to do and yet we pushed ourselves to continue the sessions as they are scheduled with the exception of a little covid interruption and a couple of other audio issues we have not missed any and every time we get together and do one of these episodes even on the worst days and in the worst of moods it has been a truly uplifting and enjoyable experience that much like our description on the YouTube channel says is like a therapy session just with all the crying taken out as we enjoy getting to share our lives and our opinions and our time with you guys. Not only that we are blown away in astounded by the variety of people listening and where they're from and their backgrounds and everything else is truly astounding in awe inspiring. We didn't think we would reach this level at all much less this quickly and we couldn't be more proud and excited for the future! We aren't going to be retiring anytime soon! So anyways we will be putting the office back together now that I have fixed the shelving units and then repairing any damage and then it'll be back to work as normal! I really appreciate anyone who takes their time to read these little updates or checking on us here at Loose Reality Inc and This Will Hurt You More Than Us Podcast, All of this has been just beyond what either one of us could ever imagine thank you everybody once again we'll see you tomorrow for our new episode! Have a great day everybody.
MASSIVE STORAGE MOVEMENT & SOCIAL MEDIA POSTS, PLUS MORE!May 25th 2022 @ 5:35 P.M.Well kiddos, let's just say this has been one heck of a productive and busy week and man are we ever getting tons of much needed work and crushing it It's all getting this work done! The podcast website has a new template for its understated design and we love it! As well as we've begun work on editing the most recently recorded Sunday the 21st, It was a good recording session once we managed to get one of the computers up and running and willing to record hopefully there was no audio issues however a flippant and rude might I had thermal take core P3 graphics card processing unit riser cable for the vertical mount GPU that the case comes with decided that it was just going to cause my editing rig PC which is the main PC and the most powerful in the office and what we use to record wasn't even giving us a blue screen it was just crashing after a few seconds of launching in the windows 10. Thankfully I didn't get too far into trouble shooting or trying to spend money before I tested things. That was definitely a process that was shorter than it could have been had I not randomly decided to test that riser cable I knew one isn't needed in order to get worked on thankfully. Between this and having to purchase a new submersible pump for the unintentionally moat-like security system forced upon the offices stairwell things have been getting out of hand. The storage has is still in the process of moving hundreds of gigabytes worth of data onto dozens of single 1 terabyte drives in an effort to get all the data off the old Mac and build it again with the new drive and enough space for parity and this process will take probably another 2 months unfortunately. However in the meantime we did make some updates to the office for organizing and ease of use and some changes to the site we hope you enjoy! Oh yes, we have uploaded 3 brand new content to our YouTube shorts, TikTok and Instagram accounts that are hilarious, including a closed loop on a infamous Amber Heard Dog and Bee incident meme that's become iconic during this trial at this point. More changes in balance. Keep your eyes out for things we've changed we didn't even mention have a great day!
MORE DATA CRUNCH, TEMPLATE CHANGE, DISCORD & MORE!
May 18th, 2022 @ 7:17 A.M.
So we have managed to make some good progress with the data storage issue however it is a slow process and it is continuous and ongoing. So in the meantime we have been working on our software and some of our tools and getting things in a much more organized and professionally prepared manner of operation. We managed to get some serious automation and therefore energy and time saving smart controls working within the office set up. This has been a huge help. He also finally finished moving the equipment back into its storage locations. The arduous journey of printing hundreds of labels is now in the process. Loving the new little touches, updates, and community and company wide upgrades we have made! Oh yes, One more thing is that we have reconnected with our discord and social media sources, so you can contact us there! If the website template changes again it's because after sorting through some of our favorites I decided to change up the website layout, hope you enjoy if! Keep your eyes out for more, Once we have finished overhauling the entire storage debacle website and podcast site updates will be much more frequent, thank you for your patience and your amazing patronage!
SERVER NAS WORKING AND RESTORING
May 6th 2022 @ 10:23 P.M.
We are currently working on a YouTube issue, planning the recording session for tomorrow, as well as trying to put together The storage NAS server, doing some much needed research and trying to figure out the best approach and way to fix our issue without any did it being lost or the process being too arduous for difficult. Hopefully this will be a lot quicker of a fix or issue than we anticipate but I'm not too sure and I will keep our community and clients up to date on when the server is back online. We think everyone for your patience! We've made some progress, and currently are backing up data so hopefully this will continue working properly.
MASSIVE DATA PROBLEM, OFFICE CHANGES, SLOW!

I bet everyone has thought that we have fell off the face of the earth! Unfortunately no nothing that exciting we are dealing with a massive data issue and we have been struggling with a huge recovery process, and as well as some massive changes at the office. The entire office was rewired. The charging station was finally completed and we Just generally changed so much from the office in general Once it's completed we will definitely get photos to show everyone and see what they think. We added another eight terabytes of redundant this time storage 2 hour servers and we are currently in the effort of trying to get the original raid array repartitioned and use Recuva to rebuild the drive data and recovery it and finally fix our major need of redundancy. This project has taken quite a while and other than our client work and our podcast we won't be working on much off and just wanted to update you and let you know!
BEST EPISODE EVER? STREAMING CONTENT & MORE!
April 4th, 2022 @ 10:25 p.m.
In the last 48 hours. We recorded episode ten today! Got some great content in the works for you guys! Genuinely this might be our favorite episode to date and our funniest I can't wait for you guys to hear and or see it. We finally fixed the keyboard issue on the main editing rig. Looks better than ever! Added an actual TV for 4k content editing and work purposes in the studio. Actually, we bought two new TVs one is a 4K Sharp Aquos Smart TV that's amazingly great. The other is a Samsung of the same quality and ilk both of which have miracast, apps, access to the Plex server and the media server as well as plenty more. Exciting upgrades! We are in the process of making our website a little more streamlined so we are transferring our domain names to our host outright so there might be some downtime between this site and the podcast site. We talked to a potential few new clients excited to hopefully work with some new people! Created ten possible new intros and outros and added them to the YouTube, and TikTok posts, as well as chose one for the podcast. This is an additional TV to the main room Sharp Aquos Smart TV that's amazing. All of the displays are hooked up to the media servers. Plex as well. This way all materials included in every episode is 100% original content. Copyright free and royalty free doesn't mean exactly what you think it does these days sadly. However, that being said I believe the ten or so intros and outros we've created could more than handle the job! They sound great! Except ones already gotten a copyright strike somehow and is being fought on TikTok platform. Report has been made. Our YouTube has been overhauled, we took away the numbered videos and just named them each similar and fixed some of the thumbnails. Also set up premieres for the next few hours for new videos. We worked out this year's entire upgrade by end of year hardware and purchase choices we want to make. Connected all the systems in the office by one mouse and keyboard for streamlined connectivity. Now finally before there's any more updates to add and this news update gets pushed anymore we are adding a raspberry pi ran server for Windows IoT tinkering, OSMC, which is just Kodi/Plex, It will have the latest copy of RetroPie 4.8, with attraction screens and videos, background music and descriptions scraped from online sources, Then we have Raspbian and Kali Linux, plus a Google home system and a smart home automation system, This includes all of our favorite games from anything PlayStation 1 down. These 256GB Micro SD cards ain't cheap but this little micro computer is definitely worth it! Anyways it is time this update stops going on and on, If I have to finish anything else before this works session is over I'll let you guys know. Have a great one! Look out for episode ten!!
STREAMING NEWS, EQUIPMENT FAILURES AND MORE
March 29th 2021 @ 9:21 A.M
Continued the work for a new podcast trailer to release alongside the 10th episode of the podcast which is shaping up to be amazing and hilarious we've got plenty of new content to speak about if you have paid attention to the news! We first had to work on customizing and fixing these keyboards as they were causing so many issues. Fixing some things that the website platform changed over without telling us. Finally found my watch and begin working on that. Attempting and upgrade to the storage server by adding some ram. We updated the GPU on the editing rig! Finally replaced the problematic keyboard and traded out the key caps for the ones we like. We uploaded the episode that we had released on Sunday to the Facebook platform and shared it and filed another dispute for the royalty free music on our YouTube release like every month! We still haven't managed to get a response from TikTok and their taking down our podcast channels most popular video to date most likes, views, and engagements as our video was supposedly to dangerous and endangered the person who filmed the original video that we just stitched and added our own part however the original video is still up of course. Lots of organizing and structuring was completed as well. We have been absolutely will be doing a ton more work on launching the streaming portions of #ALRINC later today. See ya soon lots to do!

Fixed some issues with the front page of the podcast website. Just some general HTML errors and code mishaps and a accidentally copied section. Fixed a menu option being misplaced. Released the content on our YouTube channel as well. We have really ramped up and started with our streaming efforts! We have opened a ton of new platform accounts for streaming options and choices. downloaded tons of extensions and themes for our streaming and to add our own custom little taste and touch to it that our community and fans and clients are all very familiar with. The first stream will be late tonight most likely. We are still creating new custom graphics and overlays and updating the websites first. Had to set up so many connections and apps to work. Not to mention we have finally updated some of our personal equipment that was in desperate need of update, and the smart watch and productivity and healthy living lifestyle levels have been tripled! Learning to live a healthier and better life. Also an amazing community member is donating a iPhone to me for testing and using as my daily Apple driver along side my Samsung Galaxy Note 9, Galaxy S3 Watch, and My Galaxy Buds very nice system. Did some much needed deep cleaning on the systems. Emptied our Google based cloud saves for clients. Plus a little bit more but that's oh you guys need thanks for checking out the news!
PODCAST TITLES, EPISODES, DESCTIPTIONS, & MORE CHANGES!
March 12th 2022 @ 7:26 A.m.
Okay overnight I finished a new couple of logos and variations for the Podcast, check them out on the main website's recent work / logo portfolio pages. Then I renamed and re-wrote all the descriptions and episode names, and the podcast synopsis it's self. Uploaded some new YouTube shorts skirts, and TikTok content. Added the transcript / closed captions for the YouTube automated captions to the official podcast captions for those who need it. Went and added the new episode and podcast description to the YouTube and RSS feeds as well as put the YouTube chapters up and a lot less links much more clear and concise. Fixed the links page so that they were actually links. Didn't realize that needed to be done. Updated both web pages and finished it all before we started editing today for tomorrow's episode release! Do YouTube descriptions and everywhere else has been updated too. Are you looking forward to it? Made a little clip about the amount of accomplishments and views and just our general analytics to humble brag just a little bit proud of where we started from and where we've gotten and what we've achieved since.

Podcast Episode 3 & Updates!!
Nov 30th 2021 @ 8:17 A.M.We did a major website and organizing link overhaul if you can't tell! Just some winter time cleaning! Episode 3 has been released, we finished recording and editing it and uploaded it on Sunday at noon like always! All our Podcast platforms are now updated and set up perfectly! Not to mention the website now has a members only gallery of photos, artwork, graphics, videos and more on the podcast site if you sign up for free! I finished creating a custom keycap and switches keyboard for a client. It turned out wonderful and will be uploaded to the latest work portfolio section and along with the more portfolio section for custom builds. !I finally got the new 32gbs of 32oo MHz RAM installed into the main editing officer rig PC. This has alleviated all the crash issues and it's been running straight non-stop for a week without a single crash time to finish installing and customizing my PC to get it finished, Updated the office system storage NAS with some great virtualization PC mechanics and features for use. We also backed it up and stored a ton of the storage on a secondary drive to have redundancy. I finished up some light office reorganizing and moving around for more streamlined use. Made a members only section for the podcast and added so much content. I have updated the app with some new features and better organizing as well as a new update message to update your version of the app to the cleaner version this will be going live shortly, hopefully it'll be much better and easier to work with, some basic games might be added to the functionally soon too! This is now the podcast app as well by the way. No sense in having two apps. However, Google will be adding it to the Google Play Store shortly! Oh yeah, did you notice the logo change? We have decided to make it a every month thing, each month will be a different version of our logo we have plenty of choices! Could be a uniquely different one every month for 5 years at least! Created a short trailer of voice clips that are the funniest from the first two podcast episodes for a podcast trailer, hopefully it will replace the Spotify bug that used our first episode for the trailer for some reason! I also added a new feature for this website that adds a live chat option in the lower right hand corner you can click the chat box icon to directly send us a message and it will be directly delivered to me personal phone! We hope you love the updates we do!

Community Patreon Launched!
Nov 3rd, 2021 @ 9:20 A.M.Okay ladies and gentlemen I want everyone to know for a fact first and foremost this Patreon account that has been opened is strictly for the community and those who want to support making more content skits, the YouTube channel, the TikTok, and helping out a single father who is disabled, still in the process of getting disability and doing what I can to make to keep a roof over their heads and food in the bellies of my two kids. There will be no clients or business partners or people that have hired me in any way adding to this Patreon. Not only that but there won't be anything more than a $1.00, $5.00, and a $10.00 a month tier for getting better and better value for your money because each tier will come with its own set of perks as well as the set of perks from the tier below it. The highest tier of $10.00 will have all of the premium access. If we get enough supporters for at least some we should be able to afford creating more content for the YouTube channel and the TikTok that could be comedy-based or just based on the content that is requested not to mention I want to do more things for the community and for our fans.

Podcast, Social Media, Discord +
Nov 1st, 2021 @ 9:30 PMOpened our Spotify, Apple, RSS.com site, our feed, Twitter, TikTok, Facebook, and Instagram, not to mention we opened and sent out a few invites to the brand new Podcast Discord Server! Honestly, we have been busting our butts here at the Infamous Studios, We have sent out so many Facebook updates and done so much work lately on the podcast and brand new content and a bunch of new graphics for the web page for the podcast all of the social media has custom graphics and been filled out not to mention the brand new website for the podcast itself and tons of more server work and behind the scenes content upgrading. We're working on our Google Dev right now and trying to get our app listed on the Google store I highly doubt we end up doing an Apple store app as we're just not big fans of Apple content here. We're working on a service that might be able to launch small two-core 8 GB virtual machines but we'll see where that heads in the future so far so good we are so happy with the feedback we have gotten from our first episode and subscribers as well as our Spotify and Apple up and running we can't thank everyone enough and I can't thank everyone personally myself enough!

While Chris Was At A Wedding, We Created Steam Skin Downloads!
Sep 5th,2021 @ 10:00 A.M.Well our first day of attempting to match the company owner's momentarily intense productivity and finished content output quality and quantity during those multiple days in a row he sometimes goes on as if doing every bit of work for an entire month or more worth of updates, bug fixes, new updating, community and company wide logging information, data entry, design work on multiple photoshop design types, like apparel, web design, YouTube or Sound Cloud banners and thumbnails, then do like at least ten to twenty different musical scoring or beat producing, sometimes music mastering or video rendering or digital conversion, thermal printing, video editing or special effects creating, were trying to focus more laser like in one section seriously lacking, our DOWNLOADS! Now with 20+ Video backgrounds, 10+ Steam Skins, more Wallpaper and Background arts, and even more custom and popular software skins to come later on today! We still wont meet his output, but hey he kind of has more multitasking skills and general skills in different types of content then we do as specialist! Forgive us
- Loose Reality Inc Family20+ Brand New Wallpaper Engine Downloads
Sep 4rd ,2021 @ 5:05 A.M.We are trying our best to keep Mr. Cowan proud by keeping up the output of productivity and content/client work he would release when in one of his really productive, non-stop, slightly unhealthy, yet result bringing, and multiple-day lasting work/design/ binges he gets into sometimes. So far between two freelance designers that sometimes work with #ALRINC we've managed to create 20+ new downloadable Wallpaper Engine Video Backgrounds that you can download and add to your own Steam PC setup, making it pop and stand out as a unique setup piece. We figure while he's off being the best man at his podcast host's wedding ceremony today and doing wedding based things all weekend and during his current break that we would try and at least somewhat follow in his footsteps of good quality work, affordable or free value, and yet still a ton of daily released content and client outreach as well as reoccurring work and management while still releasing news, updates, the logs, and webpage additions and or content, we hope we can even get close to his amount of productivity!
Mental Health Break & New Downloads
Sep 3rd, 2021 @ 11:16 A.M.We have come to a new website, and now a new time where Mr. Cowan, the owner is stepping away for a short time for a break/vacation for his mental health and care, which we all know is most important for all of us. This will be a short term absence and he will be back in due time to launch the secondary YouTube channel as well as the much anticipated "Get Off My Lawn" podcast and to take back over for all the work on daily, weekly, and monthly updates and client work. Any and all clients with a reoccurring contract have been notified by their preferred method and should check their inboxes or phones for the messages concerning this and if they have any questions or concerns. All tasks and client work will be kept up to date and completed on time as per usual to the agreement by a more than qualified freelancer or Loose Reality Inc extended member. Thank you for your understanding! Click here to send well wishes and kind thoughts to Chris, and otherwise we the team have it all handled! Also check out the websites latest addon as we don't stop without Chris here even! We added the Wallpaper Engine Backgrounds that have been highly requested to the download section check it out!
Wedding Bells & Massive Upgrade!
Aug 29th, 2021 @ 2:44 P.M.Well, what do you think of the latest, greatest, most organized, and content-filled version of our site so far? We love it and we hope you do as well! We never imagined going this far for our basic website but it was demanded and needed as we grew! All our original content is still here and just under new sections we're sorry this massive update has been the only one for a while we've been so busy getting ready to be the best man in this wedding which is this Saturday so main work should be starting back up on these projects! Tell us what you think in the reviews section if you can! Also, please be gentle were still ironing out details and getting the bugs out! We did get rid of some of our older news posts but kept most of them, they all needed reformatting though so some were added later.
- Christopher M. Cowan (CEO)
Another Massive August Update!
Aug 12th, 2021 @ 2:30 A.M.Let's get through this list as quickly as possible! We added paintings to the portfolio of 22 of them. Made about 15 new banners also in my portfolio. Open SoundCloud and created an older album and uploaded a new beat because we've created four so far and we're working on more. The least like six or seven videos on TikTok, posted them on Tumblr, Twitter, Facebook, & Instagram. Downloaded about 356 new loops and sounds for production. Made a personal important painting that is in the office and took time and effort and it's beautiful but won't be shared. Changed the name of the menu items to smaller and easier labels and made the background section downloads now for more items coming soon. Themes for Windows, Rocket Dock, Steam, Free Templates, Skins, and custom content. Fixed a huge bug that ended up deleting a lot of our news updates that I had to fix. Now back to life and my best friend's wedding.
- Christopher M. Cowan (CEO)
Painting, Calling, & Now Producing
Aug 12th, 2021 @ 10:09 P.M.Well we got a lot of writing done today believe it or not which needed to be done. We also got plenty of painting done and uploaded them to the portfolio. We also did a new comedy bit with using the PC wall plug duster to wake him up but they auto flagged it for some laughable reason. It has since been approved. Today we downloaded a ton of new drum packs and VSTs for creating drum pads, we've got a drum pad/keyboard combo coming to us soon for this purpose. Last night we started on putting the base line and drums and various instruments on multiple beats as that's just how we work best. We've got some very exciting music in production and are excited to share. Also we added all the new content to Instagram, Tumblr, Flickr, Twitter and Facebook updated here too.
- Christopher M. Cowan (CEO)
