Quarantine Thoughts - Day 29

-

You guys, today was a challenge!

I previously mentioned I might get into streaming/recording soon, and I did just that. I decided I wanted to record and edit my gameplay. But before that could happen there were so, so many obstacles... I’m going to take you through the journey and then you’ll get to see a teaser of the final product.

First things, first: I had to choose a game. My laptop is quite decent, but it’s also not new. It can run some heavy games in low settings but then to add recording to the mix would even make things harder. I chose Darkest Dungeon. I love the aesthetic of the game, I love the mechanics and all the intricate things but the only knowledge I had of the game came from the few streams I saw, so even the game was fairly new to me.

Then I had to get the game to record. I had OBS installed from when I delved into streaming a few years ago, but OBS wouldn’t properly record de game, no matter what I tried. So, I decided to get another program. I downloaded and installed Xsplit and quickly figured out how to get things started.

I struggled with my microphone. I recorded my voice directly from the laptop and it was awful. I gave the headset I had to my boyfriend a while ago and I didn’t have any other alternative. But I went with it.

The last part was the hardest, by far: editing. I never edited anything before, so in order to even choose what program to get, I did a quick search and found this video on Youtube, from TJ FREE, in which he presented the 5 best free video editing software in 2020. Of all 5 I found Shotcut the most intuitive, so I installed it and started messing with it, but I still had trouble. Luckily, for me, this same youtuber has a playlist of step by step videos, teaching how to operate this program. And I saw the light at the end of the tunnel.

I edited my complete video and I also decided to make a short video displaying the highlights of the gameplay, so that I could show you my work and all the new things I learned today!

Without further delay, here is the final product:

Everyday Makeup

I hardly have been wearing makeup lately, as I’m staying home as much as I can, but considering today was Mother’s Day, I wanted to look good for some pictures so, I got my Ultimate Nyx Palette, some eyeliner, mascara and nude lipstick and went to town! Well, actually, my makeup is pretty simple, and that’s how I like it! So, this is how I do it: I take shade 1. and put it all over the lid, then I blend it out as much as I can. Sometimes, when I use too much shadow and I’m having a hard time blending, I like to take the first shade in the palette, that white/translucent color, and use it to help blend out the edges. Then I take shade 2. (a shimmery pinky bronze) with my finger and I apply that to the center of the lid for that beautiful pop! Unfortunately, the shimmers in this palette don’t come out with that wet effect that I would like, but it’s the best that I have for now. Finally, I take a smaller brush and apply shade 3. (a very light gold) in the inner cor...

Antisocial: An experiment without social media

-

  As technology evolved over the years, the ability to communicate and share our lives online became common, essential even. Nowadays, we carry some of the most important aspects of our lives in our pockets and most people would be horrified at the prospect of being a day (maybe even hours) without their phones. Some can admit social media is like an addiction to them, but most people I know (myself included) would disagree. I always thought I didn’t really need socials in my day-to-day, I only have them because I like taking pictures, checking up on my friends’ lives and that’s basically it. But lately I’ve been wondering what it would be like to not have social media at all. Would it make me more active? More depressed? That’s where the idea for an experiment came along. I decided I was going to delete all my social media from my phone for 7 days and record my thoughts and feelings about it. Are you ready?   Day 1 – No more procrastinating? I think my relationship...

My year so far

-
I've had an interesting year, so far. It started really bad, as I recieved some news that shook our entire family, followed by the end of a 4 and a half year relationship, in which I was engaged (yes, I am aware that I am 22...). For a few months after, I went on some really bad dates but I've also met some cool people, and yes, I will have some #TinderStoryTimes for you later on. I got my first car as a gift from my parents, I celebrated my 22nd birthday last month (18th of July), and somehow I got into a downward spiral that was leading me to a path of self-destruction. I didn't want to talk to anybody, I didn't want to get out of bed... My day consisted of me being in my bed all day, doing nothing until I really had to, like paying bills on the last day possible, for example... To make matters worse, I have a bad relationship with food, in which I eat a lot. I eat when I'm stressed, I eat when I'm bored, I eat all the time. So as you can imagine, I gain...
