While Gaming has always been a part of my life, I thought I was going to give it up but here I am, back into gaming! This would be my first stream on Steemit. I used to stream my games on twitch but as I've been on Steemit I don't support those "centralized" social media platforms anymore.
This is more or less a new series that I've been wanting to start. It's the Path to Ascension in ARK: Survival Evolved.
The idea is to pursue a completionist approach to Ark inspired by the Explorer Notes left by the former survivors, ascending from one ark to the next starting with The Island, and Ascending one Ark at a time all the way to Extinction.
As I try to get it started, I definitely had some technical issues with the encoding for my first go! It took a little bit to get the settings right and it may be a struggle the next time I go live, but bare with me as I fix things. With a new PC, I was not sure how I was having bad FPS issues but I believe I worked out the kinks for now. Stream still needs further testing but I think that for my first dlive stream everything ended smoothly.
UPDATED
As I worked towards getting the framerates smoothed out, by the time I did I was able to just keep on streaming without having to reset. You can skip to about 1 hour and 40 minutes to skip the troubleshooting process of tweaking my stream.
My live stream is at DLive
