Saturday Evening Open Thread

Sorry for vanishing off the face of the earth, here is a stream I did last night:

It was a pretty successful stream. I had three people each between YouTube and Twitch, meaning six people total were entertained by my own twisted absent minded adventures. Other than that work has been tiring me already, and I’ve also been distracted with an SFM intro that I’ve been working on, it has almost 800 watermelons in it. I’m already a good chunk of the way through the scene, maybe about another day or two before I can move onto another. But for now it’s the weekend, time to focus my energies on other things.

I upgraded my tablet by buying another $1 store demo of our Amazon Fire HD8 not that long ago, and I finally decided to set it up today and give off my HD7 to my parents. I’ve been using my Fire Tablet for watching the restream chat (allowing me to watch Twitch, YouTube and Discord chats at the same time in one place) and I think the slightly larger display and resolution will be easier on my eyes…  if I’m lucky I might break it in tomorrow. 😛

Let The Gaycation Begin!

I did a couple Skyrim livestreams to kick off my vacation today! Might do some more tomorrow, tonight was fun playing with Melons in front of a larger than usual audience.

I’ve been packing my gaming laptop with fun stuff to do during the trip. The first two days are going to be a long stretch and I want to make sure I can keep myself occupied. I’ve even installed some multiplayer games on the chance Bro and I have time to play a game together at a hotel or something. I have a power inverter that is strong enough for my portable gaming rig, so I’ll have plenty to do assuming the movement of the car combined with whatever is on screen at the time causes me motion sickness.

Cutting film the days away

The last couple days have been pretty peaceful. I managed to de-tangle some jewelry, work mostly on my art and even did a bit of a livestream yesterday; unfortunately it was not without technical difficulties. I ran some tests today, and I’m thinking updating my GPU driver under Windows fixed it. The only thing I updated under there recently was OBS, and sometimes newer versions conflict with older drivers. I recorded Skyrim for about an hour and a half and didn’t get any crashes. Hopefully it stays that way next time I go to do a stream.

In case anyone is interested, here are the vids:
