IT BEGINS!!! (Again)

Back to working on a familiar scene! We’re back in the digital living room, finishing a game that has long sat in our library for many a year. So far I’ve got about 6 seconds of animation going in this clip, with many more to follow! Unfortunately there’s not much more to say on it now, other than I’m off to a good start. I’m going to give myself until late December to finish it, though I should be done with it way before then.

I did make sure to take my one hour of game break before calling it a night, and since I’ve been doing a good job of getting through footage and games I’ve started yet another new adventure! Last winter a good friend of mine from work gave me a copy of High On Life for Christmas, and now I finally got around to playing it! I won’t say much for now, as a game of this caliber is more deserving of its own post, not bad for only an hour’s worth of content!

One Of Many Missions Accomplished

Finally won an entire run without exploding! I’ve been playing Whisker Squadron Survivor on and off today between doing other things. Worked on a couple video thumbnails and prepared some audio for animation, which isn’t a whole lot. The animation for it on the other hand… I’ll probably be taking a brief hiatus from videos starting the third week of October. The next couple of videos I want to work on will require some animation, especially the second one I’m working on. It’ll probably take me a few months…

Sunday Chill Post

Today was a foggy rainy day fit for playing with my new recording setup! It’s looking like the Elgato 4K Camlinks aren’t going to cut it for what I want to do; every time I try to record with OBS it turns the webcam recording into something out of a Max Headroom clip. Meanwhile, plugging into my old HD60 Pro works like a charm, minus the 4K… but at least I have a full 60FPS and no latency.

Everything I’ve been reading points to OBS not being able to work with the Cam Link properly… Might be time for me to upgrade the capture card in my computer, with it being 1080p I don’t have much of a reason to have it around anymore. Not sure if I’ll stick with Elgato, or if I’ll try a different product. As long as the HD60 Pro holds out I’ll have plenty of time to do some research.

Once again Whisker Squadron Survivor was my go to for all testing! I did level up my ship a few times tonight. Also did a Recording session with Yutram. Now I can return to SFM to generate some nightmare fuel after a long break of nothing but game clip videos, just needed a bit of inspiration. 🙂

When Quests Do Themselves

I’ve been adventuring so much in Dust an Elysian Tail that I had all the materials to complete each Fale quest tonight in one visit! It was funny just sitting there, solving each quest with a “Here are those materials you asked for, Fale.” without having to venture off to purchase or loot my way to victory. At this point I have three sidequests and the main story to look forward to, when I get to it. 🙂

Evening of Zen: Aragami Edition

It was a bit too warm for me to work on much today, aside from work, work anyway. So I relaxed with some of my fave aesthetics; The eyecandy of Aragami while eating some Pocky and drinking some cherry blossom tea. I’ve been playing it in between Steam Deck and Desktop, and so far I’m the furthest I’ve ever been! I have a couple other pix on Masto.

Puts Flame Broiled To An All New Meaning…

Surprisingly I didn’t spend that much time gaming over the weekend, other than using games to test recording settings. Nope. It’s actually been a pretty creative weekend! I’m beginning production on a future video! Nothing too exciting other than an ending, the video itself will be purely gameplay… plus I went through the Tetris footage, and it’s giving me all kinds of crazy ideas. After making several gameplay videos it would be nice to get back into animating something again.

Other than that I’ve been fondling my new GoPro. 🙂 I have an accessory coming in the mail to allow me to stream it to my desktop in pure 4K! Also planning to adapt a couple of my other cameras for potential livestream ideas. Mwahahahahha!

TETRIS MULTIPLAYER!!!!!

2023 has proven to be a good year for getting through my ever expanding game library. Thanks to my Steam Deck I’ve been able to consistently pick up on games I’m trying to finish when I can’t be at a more stationary computer. It feels so strange… The future video for it could be fun. 🙂

So when going through the ol’ library tonight I also made sure to include games that have Remote Play enabled, and Puyo Puyo Tetris 2 looked like a good thing to try over Remote Play. I played on keyboard and mouse, and Yutram played on Controller. We had a fun time trying all kinds of different modes, and proved we can both survive a little friendly competition… as long as we don’t add the CPU’s, fuck the CPU’s. We did a good job of murdering each other at competitive Tetris.

It worked so well that we might have to make this a thing again soon!

Saturday Night Open Thread

I wanted to do a test stream tonight, but ended up experimenting with OBS instead. They added a new feature that allows you to take audio from individual programs. For Example: If you want to separate your game audio from your VOIP program. Sadly, when combined with the rest of my setup it just kills the video quality! Like, murders it. Oh well, it is in the beta stage still. Hopefully they can improve on it! Until then, Voicemeeter is an excellent workaround for separating audio tracks.

I’ll run some more tests tomorrow… sometime after getting some shut-eye.
