Er,... hello again!

This is my first post in a good while. It's not that I've not been fixing things but instead I kind of forgot all about this having this blog. Oops! Trying to think back about the things I forgot to share and which would have made ideal EOaMI fodder, the list includes replacing the full joy-stick setup in several Xbox controllers. I've also replaced the USB ports on a couple of Blue Yeti microphones. I built myself a gaming PC. And I made a large LED light which sits on the floor and washes the wall behind with whatever colour I desire. 

And why did I make that LED light, you might ask. Well, I'm putting my new PC to good use by dabbling a bit with live streaming and having some ambient light behind me when I am on camera makes for a nicely chilled image. So far I've streamed some classic Xbox games and a bit of Fortnite. But in the past few weeks I've resurrected an old Minecraft World that must be about six years old by now. It is, in fact, the only Minecraft World I ever made and basically contains all the things I built with my boy whenever we played together. In a way it charts his early childhood and is made more interesting by the addition of a rollercoaster that travels around all the fabulous things which we made. At time of writing, the coaster journey lasts for about 7 minutes end-to-end and gets a bit longer with every stream as we add new sights to the world (yes, we still play together :)). But what makes it really interesting is the addition of a ray tracing resource and texture pack. I cannot explain how good the world now looks, with accurate light and shadows, and warmth. I love going on there and there'll be plenty more streams in the future. 

So, this post is really just to say that I'm still here, fixing things, and I'm making a promise to add more content in the future. Heck, I could even live stream a repair on my Twitch channel! And I suppose this is a shameless plug but this is my blog so I can do as I please: if you want to see my Minecraft World all blinged-up with ray tracing, or anything else I might be streaming, come visit my Twitch channel: SuperHeroGamers

Until next time...
