 We owe the sponsor one more livestream for this month and usually, so kaya parang biglaan stream. Dino ang biglaan, I did mention we were going to do this last Friday I think around the last livestream but I didn't announce it anymore so just whoever is awake, whoever is online at this time, although 9.30 on a weeknight, I'm not expecting much traffic although this is like one of the more relaxed streams that we do. So this is hardware sugar, reactor hardware sugar. Mga behind the scenes to the videos and the livestreams and the game streams that we did this month. And usually, we do this actually may first bit of trivia for this month we didn't do a live from the shop. Usually every month we do a live from the shop where I livestream from the shop but we didn't do that this month kasi may at the start of the month we had the live draw for all of the giveaways that we did. So we had a bunch of giveaways for computer parts or things like that. Sa play ang magnaye, my video editing timeline, yeah sure. This is the latest one, since we're already primed to, I'm about to share na tong screen nato. Excuse me. But before that, I'll see you after the ad break. Barami na kaming na tulungan. So web developer ako and content creator for a YouTube channel and ngayon ganun parin ako pero kaya ako naghanap ka ng legit, mura at original software. Check out cdkoffer.com. I notice that the audio and video were not in sync. I'm just kind of curious if that was just on my end or also on your end. Anyway, as requested by Leah Magnaye, here is, so I edit in Da Vinci Resolve. This is a video that I actually edit, the most recent video that I actually edited. This is a super simple edit. Basically just cutting out the arms, making sure that the points addressed are smooth. Not a lot of fat in the content, very lean content. And just basically a lot of captions and things like that, so text. But you notice, I mean for, so this is the timeline for those who aren't into editing. It's basically just layer upon layer. It's kind of like Photoshop where you have different layers. So this is the video, I mean you have the video track. So this is the main video. And then like everything here is like graphics that you put on screen. So you notice na dito may, each element is its own layer. So this black background that's just relegated here. That's one different layer. It's somewhere along here I think. And then the text is also one layer. The purple background for this one is also one layer and this one. So it gets a little tedious. It's kind of like this one. This one is so high kasi andaming layers. It doesn't take a lot to have a lot of layers. Here, there's an image and then there's the, so again this purple one is its own layer. Then the text is its own layer. I don't know why we had it so high. Ano ba to? Some other stuff. So this is a super simple edit. But it can look confusing to like if you're just starting out on editing or you're not familiar with how it looks like. Actually I always find it fascinating to look at the edits of Hollywood movies and it basically looks like this times 100. I mean the level of layering they have on there. So the principle, the basic things of how they do it are essentially how we do, it's available to the consumer level now and DaVinci Resolve is actually used by pro editors in Hollywood. It's just the complexity and what they have going on in the shots is like 100, 1000 times greater. So just to show you a edit of the podcast. So we'll do the content moderator nalang kasi the blue sky is one, wala masyadong stuff. I mean it's just the actual interview. So the way I cut the podcast, I'm the one who does the podcast kasi we have the interview. So I do the interviews and then I figure out how to present the kind of angle, story, narrative that I want from the interviews that we got. So this one is already pre-rendered. This kind of like splash screen that you see while it's me talking. So the audio is underneath. So this is my narration and then this is the first time we hear the voice of the person I interviewed. You know, there's a layer here for the sensor because he asked not to be identified. So this is actually that layer. If I remove that layer, you'll actually see his face now. This is intro music. I always try to put a brief burst of intro music that you've never heard before in the channel. So that's one trivia. All of the intro music that you hear in the podcast episodes, all of those tracks I've never used before. I really make it a point to try to get new music for the intro of each episode. Sub James Lee, shout out to your personnel named Rocky, Rocky the programmer who helped me fix my PC via messenger, hardware sugar legit all the way. I will pass it on to Rocky the programmer. He is basically 80% in charge now of replying to people online. Sub Oseer from Facebook. Sub, it's Fritz. It's nice that you're watching with your wife, but I think maybe you guys would have a better bonding experience over something more interesting. I mean, I think highly of the content we produce. But I don't know if it's good for date night. I don't know if it's like interesting couple stuff. So this is again, this is a typical podcast episode. The audio of the, this is the audio of the guest. The audio of the guest sometimes isn't that great. So I tried to boost it. You notice how high these lines are? That's not, that wasn't the wave form it was recorded in. I did. Where is the Internet server? Where is the Internet server? Wait na. You know, I can't, I haven't figured out yet how you guys can hear the audio when I play it from here. But this is my favorite jump. I like, I always second inside joke to myself. So I'm talking in the intro to this podcast episode. I'm talking about like, you know, Filipinas, Love porn, we're like number two, in terms of number of users on Pornhub. And then as the song goes, the Internet is for porn. Then I get a clip from AvenueQ, which is a great song. I think that song patok na patok, hits the nail right on the head. The Internet is for porn. It's such a, and I think AvenueQ in general, it was really popular back in the day, and it's, I think it has fallen out of favor now. But there are a lot of lessons there about not being too sensitive, whether it's about race, or sexual orientation, or whatever. I mean, there's another song from that musical that goes, we're all a little bit racist sometimes. And I think that's a healthy attitude to acknowledge, right? I mean, parang we all have our built-in biases. And it's to punish someone, yourself or someone else over these really minor transgressions, I think is very counterproductive. And everybody should just kind of toughen up a little bit. Of course there are egregious breaches when it's beyond the pale, whether it's racism, or sexual orientation, or whatever. But I think the world would just be a happier place in general. People didn't obsess too much over the nating gritty kasi yun nga. As AvenueQ goes, we're all a little bit racist sometimes, yun nga, we all have these prejudices. Anyway, but I think it's a very apt musical na, just kind of, we shouldn't take things too seriously. Which I think, yun nga, it's good to have a balance. I think a lot of people have swung over to the other side now that everything is a point of contention. Everything is, oh, I felt attacked. I felt, you know, I felt offended parang ganyan. But yeah, I mean, so anyway, I love that I was able to stick in AvenueQ there with the song, The Internet is for Porn. I history go song, The Internet is for Porn. Why do you think the net was born? Porn, porn, porn. I mean, just, it's great, man. And that's what I really like about the podcast. I can put in other things, allusions to other things that might feel weird in a normal video that we do. Kasi, you know, our videos are mostly about tech. The podcast, textual but friendly, is about tech, but kind of like the more human side, less technical side about tech. So, sub JP from YouTube. So, Michael Angelo from Facebook. This is Da Vinci Year Solve. So, that's what I enjoy about the podcast. It's like, I can, usually there's like an opening narration and then I can share stuff and it's really more akin to what I used to do before, you know, when I would write something where the creative process for the podcast is much similar to what I'm used to when I'm writing an essay compared to how we have to do it for a video, for example. And that's kind of something that I missed. I haven't written like long form in a long time, but the podcast allows me to kind of dip my toes back in into that. So, it is very enjoyable for me. All right. So, going on to the main topic of this episode. Hardrishugar, Axar Hardrishugar. So, I'll just take you briefly through the videos. Just a little bit about the podcast. We've done three videos already in the revamp format. So, the one about Get That 30 Bro about the professor from LASAL who went viral, but he didn't want to go viral. And then, Filipinos are champion porn watchers about the content moderator. Super interesting. And then lastly, the best performing podcast episode so far was about Blue Skies, the internet cafe on Katipunan which holds a special place in my heart because I spent a lot of time there as a teenager. So, we interview Herbie, the owner of Blue Skies. We talk about the future of that kind of business. And it really struck me gano ka hirap yung internet cafe business. The LAN cafe business is crazy hard to make profitable. And Herbie's point was andaming competitors now, not other LAN cafes, but of course, personal computers at home that have gotten so much more interconnected. The internet is everywhere now. And at decent speeds. I mean, you don't hear too much anymore but people complain about ping and latency. Of course, meron pa but not as bad as when I was growing up. We were on dial up ping times really atrocious. Ngayon you can complain about it but you know, if you're only, if you're at an elite level where a millisecond, two milliseconds really matters to you. So, aside from that, yung cell phones, you know, everybody's interconnected and that extends to mobile and there are so many mobile games out there. So the LAN cafe as a physical format will have to adapt again maybe to cater more to business users again. So it's interesting how it's come full circle and again, I enjoy I've enjoyed doing these podcast shows, episodes. Sub Christopher from Facebook. Okay, aside from the podcast so what did we do this month? This is from December by the number. So this was like our year ender video. Like, things I learned in 2023 but by the number. So I'd be like 27, 27 inches is the optimal distance away from a 48 inch monitor. Something like that. Yung talagang by the number so that was the kind of narrative shtick that we were doing for this episode. Did it do that great 2000 plus views? And that was like in December. In contrast, we dropped this podcast episode about Loose Guys less than a week ago. It already has the same number of views basically. So this one actually I had fun doing it but didn't really resonate with viewers. This one guys is pure clickbait. You complain about clickbait but then you click. So it's me with a coke can and it's a saving money on PC parts thanks to coke. And this is a price watch episode. So this episode we do this also once a month where we have a price sheet and we track all of the prices from different retailers for the four largest PC retailers in the country and it's a very good resource to determine if you need to, if you want to buy now what are the cards that are sort of like pababana ang presyo and since we've been doing this for so long since October last last year, 2022 we have a ton of data. We have historical data but generally price watch doesn't get that many views. I mean decent but not that many. This one close to 5000 views is at typical for price watch episode and it is because of the thumbnail and how coke can help you save money is that I I use coke as an analogy na this is what we do with the prices and you know if if this coke can imagine this coke can if you can buy it from four different groceries tas kinukuhan namin yung presyo nung galing sa apat ang grossing na yun tas in average namin para makita talaga kung sineyong matas sineyong mababa above and below the average. So the thumbnail actually references the chief analogy that I use in the in the in the video but ordinarily you wouldn't make that thumbnail. It is kind of click baiting in that sense where the video isn't really about that. It's just one segment about that video but I really think it was because of the thumbnail because you're like well why the hell does he have a coke can and how can coke help me save on PC parts. Na tuto naman talaga. I mean it's not a forced comparison. It makes sense in the video but you normally wouldn't make that thumbnail. And I actually had a different thumbnail but the very day that it was supposed to come out just sometimes you know inspiration strikes and I told Ren Ren just get here's a screenshot from the video where I'm holding up the coke can and then just put this text. So it's kind of thank you dancers with waifus dancers with waifus is quoting from is quoting from the podcast episode. The one about blue skies where it's less it's more Henry Ford less Willy Wonka and again yung nga I get to play with a lot of different allusions I can be more creative in the allusions that I use in the podcast because mas appropriate yung ganung kalawak na scope and so thank you dancers with waifus I when I see comments like that it makes me you know it's also hard work doing the interviews and having to cut the interviews to come up with some kind of narrative flow I mean I enjoy it but I really do have to sit down to do it and that line also was not in you know again when you write when I write or when I do when I'm cutting a podcast episode basically I can already have a sense the beats like how I want to structure it but this particular this particular line it's more Henry Ford less Willy Wonka it only came to me as I was writing that particular segment so natuao ko sa sarili ko and I'm glad that you enjoyed the line stop marg Lester no gaming stream but wait until Feb we're gonna crank out the gaming streams in Feb so yes this episode kind of click baity thumbnail but no one complained and it worked yung an di naman siya di naman siya 100% click bait may kinalaman naman togol sa episode this one I think the thumbnail was a good idea in concept but it came out to it came out to kitty it doesn't look like an actual thumbnail it's very crowded yung an I worked with Ren on this one but I wasn't happy with the overall effect on this one basically this video is where I talk about like upcoming hardware for Intel AMD NVIDIA maybe you want to wait if you're thinking of buying a GPU and things like that so it's kind of the run of the mill we're entering 2024 is what you can expect didn't do that great content-wise I think it was important but it didn't really resonate with the audience the one that I wanted to get out of the start of the year but we've had trouble editing it is last year we did a video 23 build tips for 2023 that video did well even in the later part of the year meananonon pa rin meana ko comment so of course we did a follow up this year 24 build tips for 2024 and I shot that relatively early in the month in January I wanted to get it out by the end of this month unfortunately it's taking longer than expected to edit so we'll have it out this Saturday so February na hopefully it won't feel too stale inyap parang start of the year it was meant to be like a start of the year thing like how 23 build tips in 2023 was last year because you know na inganyo ka pa at the start of the year now it's like it's just January is about to end but I feel like already in the middle of the year parang nabug-bug na tayo na 2024 and it's just one month but I hope it will still resonate because I think the tips there are still important naman even if it comes out in February so please do check that out this Saturday sapwan Miguel Medina from YouTube this one this thumbnail I think worked out really well Ren didn't get it right off the bat but the revised one I think she really did like it's kind of blurred thing like you already know you're looking at a thumbnail and you're like oh, medyo explicit so na ka blur and what's this about parang anyan so I think this is a great thumbnail parang visually it conveys without words what you want the audience the kind of mood that you want you want the audience to get from that sub Casey Bolius yes, we already played the ad but don't worry the ad will always be there we dropped a video today sorry, we dropped a video yesterday ad was there ad was here today the ad will still be around so this was a second episode of the podcast content moderator super interesting basically they're admin users they're super admins they're super users and what I found most chilling about it was the speed of the response when one of those super moderators steps out of line sobrang belis I was like as fascinated this one it's a simple build video well edited by Ren featuring an FSP PSU and then the dark flash cases this one is the ROG review but for members only because I wasn't happy with this one so I went back and put in more B-roll which is in the final one here this is a beautiful monitor the PG-49WCD so it's basically like my PG-48UQ here my primary monitor now except that it is curved and quantum dot OLED the QD OLED marketing hyperside quantum dot is legit that was ano that was yeah, good episode I mean, sorry, good episode I mean, great monitor sorry na nalito KC Bollyos thank you KC Bollyos um I mean I'm enjoying the making them like medyo iba naman content from our usual videos they don't get like the audience on Spotify on Apple on Google podcast has really created but since we released them now on the same time as on the YouTube channel the response on YouTube has been really great I mean like viewership-wise compared to the episode numbers before must very clearly the newer format is more popular at least on YouTube I'm hoping that the podcast will pick up on Spotify like on the more native podcast platforms but it you know it's still early we've only done three episodes so I'm hoping as more people kind of get introduced to it on those platforms that your kind of word of mouth will kind of spread they are a lot more effort in the sense like we got you know we got someone to be a producer to help me find resource people guests for the particular episodes and then so just lining up the interviewees is time-contruming thinking up of topics is time-contruming and then doing the interviews and then also editing so yeah the podcast are a lot more work now compared to like I'm just kind of like last minute researching any latest hardware news and kind of just doing a monologue on it but I'm really happy with the quality naman so that's cool I guess so I'm happy actually if the audience is happy the response is pretty positive especially on YouTube so this is another so if you're a YouTube member you get to see all of our videos before we release them to the public I take that very seriously so that sometimes why I do like things like this that I upload beta version of the video like this one is like kula pa sa edit so this is the final one this is the one for members just so that you guys do get to see it beforehand this one did not do well at all bigger in this guide to trading cryptocurrencies but I thought you know I've never talked about it and I'm sure there are still a lot of people wondering how to do it like from a beginner's perspective perspective just like on a mechanical level like where do they need to sign up what do they need to do and things like that so I decided to do one there's actually we're gonna have a mini trilogy on cryptocurrencies the first one which we've already published is how to trade cryptocurrencies for beginners the second one is five things you don't need to know to trade crypto and the last one is people on Twitter that you should be following to get a good idea on possible trades like do I want to buy into this coin what is the general flux or you know where are we in the market right now are we thinking it's gonna go up are we think it's gonna go down this following crypto Twitter or crypto X whatever Elon wants us to call it now I didn't used to do it before but ever since I got serious about trading maybe again serious about trading again around like November last year I've been really trying to keep up with the latest and it's been helpful naman but you need to you need to figure out who you want to follow on Twitter regarding crypto news and opinion soft tech will cave good to see you man there is a disparity like there's a disparity yes depending on which platform so the the once the audience on Facebook is a bit chumier I mean like they feel that I feel that when they comment there's more of a connection but like our videos don't do well on Facebook I rarely post a video on like an actual video not a link to the YouTube to Facebook plus even when I do publish a link to Facebook to one of our YouTube videos it doesn't get a significant bump in traffic after that so Facebook audience more wants to know like what builds are you doing stories about the shop are popular like refund RMA stories refund stories and things like that the YouTube audience is a bit more critical in the sense that they're more willing to kind of criticize you and jump on you a little bit so I feel like the Facebook audience is a bit friendlier they're also looking for different things on YouTube we're kind of known for these kind of beginner friendly videos regarding computers although some content that would appeal to Facebook also appeals on YouTube like RMA stories and things like that but in general each platform is different and we do try to cater to that like our Instagram our photos there we don't publish on Facebook and on YouTube madalas like 95% of the time what you see on IG is exclusive to IG so we do try to make the content that we produce bagay to the platform that we're publishing it on yeah, crypto for beginners and then this was the podcast the internet is dead long live the internet cafe long live the internet cafe and then yesterday was the dark flash review by Rocky the programmer Rocky the programmer is helping us out again in terms of making videos and then doing a lot of stuff behind the scenes so expect to see a lot more mainline videos from him and shorts in the future so actually, yeah will do the shorts so the last two shorts have been this Rocky the programmer Rocky the programmer this is me this is me too I've actually been trying a little bit harder on the shorts so like this one 3400 views I'm quite proud like this one Google secret antispyware spyware, malware, virusware 5000 plus views the best mousepad 3700 views so I was trying to push the shorts a little bit I say was because we're Rocky the programmer in place now he will alternate on the shorts that we do but ideally we should have like a short a month but I'm sorry a short every week but it's kind of hard to come up with content for a short that I think would be appealing yeah Casey Bollos our IG is H double sugar I think oh no sorry it's instagram.com slash hardware sugar let me check yes if you want to follow us on insta that is our Instagram sup Mark Lewis I know a lot of people just kind of recycle the content from the videos I'm not against that on a conceptual level but we really try to make it bagay and bago so a lot of our content isn't repurposed just from the longer videos um so I am proud like when I sat down and tried to um but you have to come up really creative stuff and I January has been like December January have been like a bit busy for me on a lot of fronts so I've been able to sit down and think of shorts the rocket programmer shorts been doing okay naman this one 1300 views this one 1100 this latest one is actually pretty good advice on how to choose or how to select between GPU variants so that's pretty good and of course for the live streams for this month so we have the usual gaming streams I was I was so sad because of this this cyberpunk which I streamed around 2 to 3 weeks ago that's the last time I got to play cyberpunk I was like super busy actually may that might have been the last time that I got to game it was like 2 to 3 weeks ago and again it's it is not right I should find some time to find some time to game so this was our last life from the shop this was December then we had a giveaway last December the APNX C1 cases and then happy new year so this was our live stream draw of all of the giveaways updates of which I'll post about on our Facebook like a lot of the winners sent over a lot of the winners over like pictures of them with their items and things like that and then CS CS cyberpunk crypto watch oh man this was right before the Bitcoin spot ETF fiasco it was wild wild times I did make some money of that and then just today actually I lost a lot of money on crypto today which I will cry about on the next episode of the crypto watch which should be sometime soon yes so like the money like sobrang I was sweating sweating bullets dun sa Bitcoin spot ETF and I made I thought I played that very smart like with all of the market turmoil and everything that surrounded the Bitcoin spot ETF again I like to liken my trading strategy to poker so I think I hedged my bets pretty well like sa nyo value bet sa nyo ano so I I made out well dun sa aftermath ng spot coin BTF ang problema spot coin BTF the Bitcoin the spot Bitcoin ETF but I made bad bets on shorts and shorts will really eat your shorts to paraphrase Bart Simpson okay I'm not over it yet it was just this morning when I decided to buy the bullet and liquidate my position some of the short positions so I cannot na so I did lose a ton of money a while ago which you'll hear more about on crypto on the next episode of crypto watch which should be soon like you know first week of Feb so we did last Friday no what's this when ay ay ay it was last Friday pero mga it was a bit early for the audience ay mga 6 o'clock but I had to do that kasi I needed time to do the podcast which came out the very next day and also I wanted to play fortnight with my friends which I did naman so worth it naman yung ano agree agree it is gambling but yung ay I find it's gambling in the sense that it's poker so there is chance involved but there's also a bit of skill involved compared to yung straight up gambling I feel is when it's a pure game of chance let's say like roulette for example where you have very little control over the game but with poker I feel that yes there's an element of chance but it's also how well you play the cards at your dealt how well you read the other people and things like that and I feel like stock trading forex trading commodity trading all of those trading of course there's a big element of chance but at the same time like it appeals to the poker gamer in Mina I think there is some skill involved and actually what I have to keep reminding myself it's the skill starts with yourself like mastery over yourself you need to know when to let go and again just like a poker hand you just can't keep trying to chase the river can't keep trying to outbluff your opponents and your stock keeps going down you need to know yourself like you need to acknowledge like I made a bad bet and I need to unwind that I need to acknowledge that this was this might have been a good bet but you're tossing good money after bad and that's where the problem starts yunya it is gambling so you need to know when to take good bets sometimes the good bets don't work out but they were still good bets to make their value bets yung overall in the long run they were good bets and I'm fine with doing those yunya you get married to a position and you think oh for sure baobayan baobayan and the market keeps going up and up and up and you're like oh for sure baobayan for sure baobayan spoiler alert it has not yet gone down so yunya that's why I had to that's why I had to terminate them today like I bought the bullet I'm like okay it's ridiculous I shouldn't have let them get balloon to this big a loss and here we are now taking a significant hit on my portfolio but learning experience and like yunya parang if there are like only two things that I try to always keep in mind when I'm trading is like number one don't get married to your position if you if it's clear that it's not working out you need to acknowledge that very early and cut your losses very early and number two is that you know bilokong bola bilokong bola get back in the saddle again it's very easy when you take a big loss na okay that's it for me I'm packing it up I'm holstering my gun I'm getting out of town I quit basically right but you're not going to make your money back that way and you're not going to make money in the long term so you know it's it's part of it's part of the game and you just got to pick yourself up is what I'm trying to tell myself after my debacle this morning with crypto well a lot of like so rocket programmer will help out a little bit more now I'd love to get a part time host and even like rena's indicated maybe she'll want to leave sort of in the future not right now but maybe in the future and rena's been great no questions and I'm really impressed like how she threw herself into learning how to edit and things like that because rena was not a video editor when we started but if she does leave then it'll be an opportunity to maybe get like someone you know train talaga sa video editor more use the cadence like you know faster edits and maybe somebody like with rena because I have to I notice sometimes because she's not really that into PC hardware so sometimes the edits reflect that and I have to tell her that oh put this in take this out or this was referring to this but it was tagged to the other thing so maybe in the future like an editor who's also into the computer space para smoother na renyu edits but not that you know rena isn't going anywhere anytime soon but she has indicated that maybe for her future plans that she might want to try um other work and for me naman you know I'm never like I'm never like if somebody wants to go that's their choice as long as you know it's to better places I think I'm super happy for them so so that is January 24 in a nutshell lots of things in flux right now actually in the shop for the channel I'm trying to get my mojo back actually for the channel like I'm kind of annoyed that some of the videos haven't been doing as well as I would like them to be doing although at the same time you can't really blame the audience because I haven't done like a bread and butter kind of video where we where we do PC tips and things like that which is what the 24 build tips 2024 was meant to be in January but you know we took a long time with the edit and it is 24 tips plus intro plus conclusion if like one tip is only one minute that's still 24 minutes plus plus right so that's a lot of it is a longish video compared to our usual ones Sub Mandy Francis from Facebook yeah but I do like I want to slow down a little bit and figure out like let's find something that we're kind of pretty sure that audience will respond to and it's kind of popular but I am very happy with the podcast I mean these are the podcast episodes do better than some of our regular video episodes which is pretty good and yeah I hope it just keeps snowballing from there I've actually offered Russ actually anybody on staff may open invitation that anybody who wants to host can host Russ I think is just a little bit shy pa but I think he's getting there we have done we have tried to do the bloopers in the shop kind of thing like we had a short where we have a PSU exploding like they were saying a PSU and then it just exploded that was like a couple of months back this one like I think I even catch sometimes our work is dangerous is it I have no PSU KIA so this is a video of a PSU exploding you can see it the spark there and you can hear the dialogue I mean and that that is unscripted I mean that's literally their genuine reaction but it didn't do so well like 600 views let me check so I mean I thought that would have been a banger short because it's like parang slice of life a PSU actually exploding and it's their action you can't hear the audio when I played it but their action on cameras oh patayin mo patayin mo I mean yung medyo like holy shit it's like this is a that was not we didn't expect that to go down like that but yeah we'll try to keep plugging away at the short format and of course our mainline videos are not going anywhere I would just like sometime to kind of work on them let them just state a bit more yeah so tomorrow we do have a video coming out which I'm not a lot to talk about yet because the product is still under embargo but it will be coming out like 10pm atta tomorrow or something around there about late night tomorrow then Feb 1 is Thursday yes Thursday probably a gaming stream Feb 2 pwede magtanong livestream Feb 3 please god 24 build tips at 2024 we're already like a month late Feb 4 Sunday gaming stream or crypto watch and then tuloy tuloy na yung I don't know we're very picky about keeping things in house not just for the youtube channel but also the career we have a guy who does it all in house he's our own employee we got him his own bike and things like that I'm a believer in keeping things in house but on the flip side I'm always open to trying out new things so let me be like a guest host especially if the expertise or they have they've had a long history with controllers like why not like not 100% sold on the idea but open to hearing more is how I would describe it so I do have this kind of bad cough although di naman halata sa videos more halata sa livestreams still kind of getting over it which is kind of weird um I just wanted to highlight like this so I got a new free I got a new lens over Christmas it's a Samyong Samyang Samyang lens I do and so I started using it in this kind of format na ay okay it's I think I love how well this is like even end the separation between me and the background um and then you can see my computer you can see one monitor two monitor the only thing I don't like is it's covering the horizontal monitor here and the underslang monitor which is somewhere around here um and you know my space wasn't meant as background so like there's that ugly wire here and then the box type aircondare so not the best but overall I'm really digging the lens and I'm also digging how the well lit um vibe you know of this kind of set I think it's something we can work on in the future and then I try to alternate between night and ah here but this one the frame was the lens was too close so this is the actual video like my head is cropped and this isn't zoomed in or anything um it's I just hindi ganun kagaday ang framing ko like I'm not like I love this scene also at night I think it looks nice naman um except that the framing I was an idiot and it was just too close this one is ah sorry that's the podcast sup herby this one I think is ideal so you can kinda see like the whole shirt I'm wearing and then you know there's space above my head by you get to see most of my setup plus the desktop so this spacing is ideal I just bring it up because one I've always been kinda insecure like other people other YouTubers have this very nice studio behind them and ako I'm always just shooting in the shop or like here at home pero wala talagang dedicated studio also because I know I know more now about cameras and lenses and lighting and things like that but when we started I really didn't know anything and I'm still very much a beginner I think that's reflected in the shots but I think we're slowly getting better like the bones of this shot I feel I feel the bones of this shop are pretty good of this shot rather the bones of this shot are pretty good so like maybe just a little bit like crop this like you don't see the you don't see the the plug the outlet and things like that even though it's a shoot that I've done already multiple times I still have to figure out the angles every time where the light goes where the chair goes is the framing correct so a lot of I mean like this very simple video I'm just talking to the camera basically it takes a little while to set up which a lot of the work for the YouTube videos for the podcast I mean if you look at it you don't think it it necessitates a lot of work but it it does the set of the shot the the script and this is just all just filmed me talking to the camera so yeah, there's a lot of work that goes on behind the scenes it's a little tiring sometimes I sub Ariel Pontejos I do not know let me check there are a bunch of videos on YouTube I don't haven't encountered I would assume most of the solutions referred to driver updates and things like that we could try that DDU and then try to find a stable driver check out also the videos on YouTube there are some na man sorry, I don't have any personal experience with code 43 so la kung masabi based on actual like oh, this is what I did just this is not helpful but I'm just going to say it anyway because AMD AMD's GPU drivers are always kind of suspect sadly I'll just run it by the guys I don't know if we can stick it in to our content in Feb and to be honest we've never done a controller review so I would have to think kung the audience respond to some and if we can find somebody who or you know if you can run make an episode with the data I don't know, I think about it but thank you very much for the offer roll it back uninstall adrenaline install it again roll back the driver I mean you know the drill unfortunately it's an AMD thing yun so thanks so much for joining me for another episode of HardWishRugar React to HardWishRugar just a little bit behind the scenes um since we are talking about trivia and stuff I'll just mention that I have confirmed with Deepcool Deepcool has invited me to visit their factory in China I'm super psyched about that to actually see where some of the hardware that we sell and that I personally use is made because the the CPU cooler there behind me that's a Deepcool AK620 digital which I'm using now for my rig so super excited about that that will be first week of March so I'll be gone a couple of days and yeah so just a little bit of um trivia on short term plans for the channel so definitely will make a video on that yun have a good night guys it's still very early in the week let's help each other get to Friday
