New videos & streams on hold

While I was intending on getting back into streaming on Twitch & have been uploaded semi-regular videos to YouTube, these are going to have to be put on hold for a couple of reasons.  My main PC (running Windows 7) is currently having overheating issues & my new PC (running Windows 10) still isn't fully built, so that negates both of the main gameplay media sharing functions I have been doing for some time (even while health issues continued to be a factor that kept me from streaming to Twitch, even when I did have a decent enough upload rate to continue doing so).

I'm currently looking for a replacement liquid cooling unit for the CPU to deal with the overheating issue (given it's been running on overdrive lately & running higher powered games on it results in a full PC shutoff when it gets too hot, unable to get the PC running again until it cools off naturally), I'm expecting this is the first place to start with getting that PC game-worthy again (at least with older games that don't require a Windows 10 or higher OS to run them).  This PC is still run as a server for other devices in my home (and potentially over the internet if needed).

While I do have a Windows 10 PC now (my friend finding a deal on Facebook that included a motherboard, CPU, liquid-cooling, RAM & wireless network card combo; I still had to purchase one of my friend's older video cards, a new case & R2 chip for the OS drive), it's still not in the same position as my other PC was for recording & streaming, but is at least semi-functional for gaming (including the ability to play the majority of games I owned on other platforms that wouldn't run on Windows 7).  This system is still going to require a decent capacity hard drive, a second monitor & a second battery-backup surge-protector before I expect to be using it normally).

While streaming to Twitch & uploading videos to YouTube will not be an option for at least a few more months, I am considering possibly streaming over my Discord server (seeing as this is an option with full functionality now that I have a Windows 10 PC; streaming over Discord used to cut audio on Windows 7, so I disabled streaming in most of the channels on my server, exception being the hardware, software & app troubleshooting channels).  Of course my Discord server is still set as private due to organized attacks from the Steam troll community starting in 2023 (attacks that Steam management supported through additional penalization actions against a targeted victim of those attacks), so currently only the people that are still on the server will have access to it (as well as other people I may know already that I may give private invites to the server, but public joining is still locked down because of those ongoing attacks & won't be lifted until 2 years after the last documented attack, that date given on my Twitch channel) if I do start doing them (which will probably only be on request or if voiced that they have an interest in it; people still on the server are relatively low, so I doubt any interest will be voiced).

An additional note is in addition to now having a Windows 10 PC, I've opened up what games I am willing to support on Twitch while they are being streamed by channels I follow (watching of other channels on YouTube that show ads still being avoided due to YouTube's support in those same attacks coming from Steam & lack of action to take down misinformation videos down on other YouTube channels publishing slander).  There are still other games that will not be supported due to other running boycotts, but the minimum OS of anything higher than Windows 7 is no longer a restriction that will keep me from entering those channels while they are streaming those games.

The actions by Epic Games that forced accumulated V-Bucks (roughly 37,100 over a period of over 4 years forced to a mode I don't even play & no option to switch them back to the mode I did play) in Fortnite still keeps me from doing much on Twitch in regards to watching other channels (anything published or developed by Epic Games, developed using the Unreal Engine or exclusive to their PC platform & not on a Nintendo system), but there have been rare instances where I've followed new channels that got raided by the official Warframe channel.  One stipulation in regards to channels I will stick around in is if they are displaying Patreon links on their channel however (which has played more of a factor on YouTube than it has on Twitch), going back to he boycott that started against Patreon after the incident that happened in 2021 (which made it clear that "supporting Patreon creators" changed to a "blacklisting Patreon creators" standard in response to their management's actions & not giving an option to appeal it, not to mention some of the most childish actions I've ever seen on any business page on Facebook).  Of course when it comes to raids from the official Warframe channel, it's more a matter of whether I even stay until the stream ends, because lack of acknowledgement of you being the channel (ignoring what you are saying in chat) is a pretty good reason I'll take off, not to mention will usually negate any chance of being followed or subbed to (the reality if it is if the official Warframe channel didn't have drops, I wouldn't even be messing with it).
