Gaming 2.0

I've been trying to get my Stream Machine up and running for the last year or two. It seems every corner I turn, Every step I take something happens or something comes up or issues arise that keep me from doing this.

I got a i7 Machine from a friend several months ago. Because I didn't know how old the Thermal Paste was on the CPU, I decided to remove the Heatsink, Clean up the CPU and Heatsink of the old Thermal Paste and apply NEW. Well it appeared that the CPU Socket had some issues of pins being raised above the other causing some issues. The PC never turned on nor booted into Windows. So this PC has been sitting for now, I'll have to do some Extensive work on it to try and reflow the solder on the CPU Socket to level these pins out to hopefully make contact with the motherboard and CPU.

Then another friend give me a PC to use as my "Stream Machine". It had an OLD AMD CPU in it, So decided to buy a Ryzen 5 4500 CPU to go in it, to update it with a 6 Core CPU. So I Install the CPU, Try booting up the system. Didn't get no Video, Turns out I had to Update the BIOS to accept the NEW CPU. So put the OLD CPU back in, it booted just fine, So downloaded and updated the BIOS to accept the NEW CPU I got, Took out the OLD CPU and Installed the NEW CPU and it worked fine.

Got OBS installed and a few other things on it I needed to use to Stream. Recording of videos and streaming trial run worked great, NO Issues with Rendering Lag or anything. But I did have a problem with Audio, there were no Audio Playback on the machine including mic recording so downloaded the audio drivers and updated those. I got a Blue Screen after rebooting. And the system fucked up from the update. Got no video, got no audio, got NOTHING.

So toyed around with the machine for a few days, then took a few days off, Still having issues with this machine. I've came to the conclusion that my Motherboard Fried somehow.

So fastfoward to yesterday, I purchased another Motherboard and a GPU (Video Card), I'll be salvaging Parts from both machines to get it up and running, this'll save money on having to buy NEW Memory and HDD (Hard Drives) for the Stream Machine right now. The memory from the i7 is the right size and speed and will work fine and the NEW CPU I put in the AMD Board will work fine.

So, Now once the parts come in, I just have to build the Machine, get it up and running and hopefully by the end of the week I'll be able to get on and start streaming.

A few post ago on my "Gaming" post I mentioned a link for one of my Streams. I decided to set up a NEW Link side that you can find ALL of my Social Media Links in 1 place. It's by Taplink. So by clicking here Taplink you'll be directed to my Social Links, This'll give you my YouTube, Kick, Facebook, Instagram, X (Twitter), Discord and several others you can follow me at IF you are a Gamer. If you are NOT a gamer but know someone that is and enjoys watching and/or playing games, Direct them to this Blog and let them know.

The reason for me Streaming is to help support our Local Animal Shelter, Veterans and Animal Rehab Facility here in my Small Town. it'll change up frequently. As I stream and as donations come in, they'll be collected and Half of ALL the donations will be given to one of the charities to help with the Animals and Veterans. The other half will be for upgrading equipment for the stream to put back into it.

So I HOPE that you show some support by following me and watching me and Sharing my Links. my Stream is and will be 18+. Because after all I AM "The Angry Gamer" and I DO Cuss like a Sailor, So if you do NOT want your Children subjected to Foul Language and such, Then do NOT let them watch the Stream.

DISCLAIMER: My Stream IS 18+, So be careful what you let your children watch, I will NOT Censor my content for anyone, It's a game stream, If I get pissed I'll be throwing out words here and there and if you don't want your children to hear it, Monitor what they watch and hear cause I won't.

4.26.2025 AMVETS 24 hr Watch Fire.

Saturday (4.26.2025) AMVETS Post #23 (Hartford City, IN) had the Starting of the Fire for our Watchfire Event to Honor the Fallen. Video Below is 12 minutes long.

This tradition is to honor all of our fallen Heroes who lost their lives in battle. We honor them by keeping this fire going for 24 hours without letting it go out. Friends and Family that gather to watch this event has the ability to Honor those family or friends that has served and lost their lives doing so by putting a long on the fire in their memory.

We also perform a Flag Retirement Ceremony where we Burn the Tattered and Worn-out Flag. This was done on (4.27.2025). Video is a little over 13 minutes long.

On 4.27.2025 we closed out the Watchfire event with putting out the fire after honoring all of those who served that has fallen. Video is a little over 8 minutes long.

All 3 Videos together is roughly about 30 minutes long. I hope you enjoyed the long standing tradition of honoring our fallen as well as the Flag Retirement Ceremony. All Flags that are retired, they do NOT touch the ground, The ashes of the retired flags are gathered and put in a place that never touches the ground.

RIP to our Fallen Soldiers.

Roof Funds

 Hello everyone. just wanted to give an update on the Roof situation.

I been going through Hoosier Contractors for my Roof. They were able to get insurance to pay for the NEW Roof. So we now Officially have a NEW roof on our house.

The problem we are experiencing now is that Insurance did NOT cover the whole roof 100% and I was afraid of this. So I'm calling out to everyone with a sincere heart and asking for some donations and shares. The balance left on the final bill was $2,200 and it's going to be VERY hard for us to swing the payments monthly for this, Living on Fixed income for us both, Me and my Wife, ALL of our funds are tied up in bills and payments of every kind and our funds are exhausted monthly, it's not easy to make ends meet being on fixed income.

So I'm asking that if you can NOT donate, PLEASE share to get the word out for potential donations. Every dollar helps and if this were to be shared 2,200 times and 1 person donated a dollar, I'd get what i needed in donations to cover the final bill for our roof. So please consider at least sharing. Living on fixed income and having to have a major repair really SUCKS big time for homeowners that are disabled. The gov makes it HARD for anyone wanting to own their own house very difficult on a fixed income.

I've included a Donation button on the left side of the blog for anyone to click on but will also include a link here --> GoFundMe - Roof Funds if you want to go directly to the page to donate. If you'd prefer PayPal, You can send donations here --> jwarner75@yahoo.com Choose Friends and Family. Any help is very much appreciated.

Thanks in Advance for any and all donations and shares I receive.

New Roof Fundraiser

 We've been fighting with Insurance to help replace our roof and to NO Avail, They refuse to pay to have our roof repaired because they said that it wasn't damaged by the Elements, that it was damaged by time and it was OLD.

So with this being said, I'm throwing a Fundraiser to try and help us pay for materials (Metal Roofing) so we can get a new roof put up over top of the shingles, We are looking into a Metal Roof for longevity and durability so we won't have to worry about it for another 30+ years. If this roof is as old as they think that it is, it's best to replace now, we've got some leaking inside so we NEED to get this fixed, My Goal is to have the money before winter so we can get things rolling.

If you'd like to help by donations or even by sharing, please do so. You can click Here --> New Roof Fundraiser to help share and/or donate to the cause.

Both me and my girlfriend are in wheelchairs and on a fixed income so it's hard to save any money with the cost of living increases, food expenses and everything else that follows.
