I have since finally set the webcam up! Go me!

For Christmas, I got the kids one of those gaming chairs that you can rock back and forth in. I can sit in it too if I’d like to, even though the last time I sat in one of these was when I myself was a child so it feels a bit awkward (and will take some getting used to). I can certainly fit on it, and sit on it, no problem… except for the whole “rocking back and forth” thing because that feels awkward due to me not having done it in decades. I also got a new webcam for our computer, and a much better one at that, for streaming purposes. The kids can also use it to talk to relatives of theirs on Zoom if they would like, although I don’t think any relatives that I know of have Zoom, so I’d have to walk them through the process of setting all of that up on whatever computer or mobile device they use. If it’s something that the kids want to do, I’m in support of it.

I also got a larger HDD for our laptop so that Bub can store more of his games on it, which he will love!

In addition, I know that I’m getting the Corpse Husband gloomy bear and a copy of the hoodie he put out.

This resolved itself much quicker than I’d thought!

After only an additional day of investigating, I have the second monitor hooked up and functional!

Entirely as expected, all I needed was a different cord because another HDMI cable and splitter was not cutting it giving me the results that I wanted in order to be able to game and stream on a second monitor.

I’ve set up almost everything that I want (and, in the case of streaming, need) on that second monitor, and am deliberating upgrading our computer’s webcam after so long. I’m also considering getting a streaming keypad to be able to queue things up even more easily and with no more than single button presses. That should cover just about everything “professional” I’ll need to stream, and stream well, at this point in time!

With luck, I should be able to take pictures of these things as they come along over the weeks and months!
