Making my way through the Skyrim footage from 2020. So far I’m only finding little bits and bobs, though I’ve only been through just one of the streams so far.Not enough to really make a video of it, but I do still have about 8 other Skyrim videos from 2020 to go through, so I may yet have at least one last hurrah of Skyrim footage… until I play the game in 4K anyway. :v

Learning To Teleport
I’ve been getting my laptop setup to be a streaming computer for my desktop. The last time I experimented with OBS over the network I used NDI integration, which had its ups and downs. I do hear that NDI 5 is a lot better, but I haven’t tested it yet. Instead I’ve been playing with Teleport, which is pretty easy to use compared to what I remember with NDI a few years ago. All you have to do is install the plugin to your streaming computer and the computer you intend to use for video capture. It’s also worth mentioning, and kinda obvious that you should also use a wired connection. It did take a little bit of trial and error, but I did get audio and video to stream perfectly to the laptop!
I haven’t done any actual streaming, but I did do a test recording of Horizon Zero Dawn without any hiccups. Now I just need to find the time to stream!… and to figure out what would be fun to stream… someday.
Everything’s Archy!
There was a LOT of Linux today. I dusted off my old gaming laptop and upgraded it from Manjaro 20 to 24, and spun up the ArchLinux VM for the GMod servers. I should have them up and running tomorrow evening if everything goes according to plan for the servers, and the laptop is pretty much done. Tomorrow I’ll work on the Samba shares and port forwarding, something to do to keep my mind off other things.
From One Goal To The Next
Finished up the video today! w00t! This month will at least have a video lineup, after this it’ll probably be awhile before the next video release. I have no plans to release anything in July, but still have plenty of footage to sift through. Things are emptying up enough that I’ll have to consider streaming at some point.
Meanwhile, the next couple of days will be Linux projects. Primarily setting up my new GMod VM, but I have plenty of other Linux related things I need to tackle… it’s times like this that I wish I could take nerdcations just for getting caught up on all the things I run, and maybe even try new things. I did get my tablet up to date today, one of these days I’ll need to update the gaming laptop and the Linux side of my desktop.
One thing at a time though, one thing at a time.
More Videos Coming Soon!
Starting next week I will be releasing YouTube videos! I’m hoping to get my current project wrapped up towards the end of the month, and I already have a couple other releases planned in the meantime. Worst case scenario the last video releases in July.
Friday Evening Open Thread
Got another video finished! Canned and ready to go! I’ll probably deploy it some time next month. Spent the rest of the evening hunting Behemoths in HZD, once you use the right arrows for the job they become pretty easy to take down… that and positioning yourself in an area where the machines can’t easily pelt you! 😛 With my weekend on the horizon (no pun intended) there’s a good chance I’ll probably clock in more time. Hard to believe I’m 66 hours in so far!
Open Thread!
Small Video Editing Update
Went over the last of the Skyrim 2019 footage, and have decided it will be a small montage of its own. It won’t need much for animation, other than just one small thing involving a greenscreen, might even have it finished tomorrow. If I do finish it I’ll probably just can it for later, after featuring the other video I finished.
Fun times…
Fun & Productivity
Hey! Look! Another post that doesn’t include any HZD in it! Felt like doing some Innocent Dragon stuff tonight. Next time I play I have to defeat Gulp, too tired to finish the boss battle tonight, but I did collect a lot of treasure and even got 100% in a world.
Before embarking on Dragon adventures though I did make a small dent in the next animation project, this one is going to be looking a little more ambitious once I get closer to the end. Until then, these scenes by the couch are pretty easy. I’m planning to release Part 1 later into June, depending on how soon I can wrap up Part 2. I’m thinking for tomorrow I’ll look at the 2019 Skyrim footage and see how I should cobble it together, what to animate in it, etc.
The Footage Sifting Continues
Been going through the rest of my Skyrim footage over the last couple of days. I only have about ten more livestream videos to go through and I’ll finally be done with it. Hard to believe that footage used to span almost three hard drives, but I’m nearing the end of the Oldrim stuff. Maybe someday I’ll return for some 4K adventures, but for now I have plenty of other games and footage to go through. Each livestream is about an hour or two of footage to go through, and surprisingly there are a few little gems hidden within.
Of course, it’ll be awhile before any of it sees the light of day… sooooo many irons in the fire.
Another Weekend Comes To A Close
Don’t have much to say. It was a nice, sunny day. You could smell the freshly cut grass wafting in the breeze. As usual I enjoyed a good mandatory tasty weekend breakfast, fiddled with a couple of games and finally canned a video! I’ll probably work on the thumbnail after work tomorrow, and tonight I’ll sleep on what I want the title to be… and dream of what the next weekend will bring.
