Ordered Upgraded Internet Speed
[ Friday November 5th 2021 at 10:34 am ]

Almost every night before I go to bed I play WreckFest. This is something I really enjoy. I also sometimes play The Golf Club if I am not feeling that great. I've got to know the guys who share the same Discord server. I've been honest about my life, goals and where I am at right now. They have been very supportive and kind towards me. They are suggesting that I begin to stream myself playing on Twitch. The guys are telling me that I am unique enough in terms of my physical disability, in approach to life with being positive in the midst of adversity and how I talk (such as saying "Oh bother!"!) that I'll generate a following and continue to grow my online based income. Certainly if this works it would be a huge relief. I would like more than receiving disability pensions for my life. I am trying to do what I have control over to help myself. Since I am already playing these games it isn't more effort on my part to stream.

The only change that needs to happen is having a faster Internet upload speed so I am able to stream online. I have the fastest upload speed my current Internet provider offers. When I contacted my Internet provider a few weeks ago they were unwilling to enable a grandfathered Internet plan that had a faster upload speed. I've done my research. I've just signed up to an Internet provider who offers a faster speed that will support gaming. I'm going to try and see how this goes. Certainly the pros outweigh the cons. I am hopeful.
