Retrieving the gold key in Mana Vemputin's clocktower. Map by Smilecythe, player is me. Video is clipped from my Twitch stream last night. Not shown is the 10 minutes spent figuring this out & practicing. I love movement puzzles in Quake.

I'm starting up the #quake1 mod / map pack Contract Revoked by Kell on stream at https://twitch.tv/andreaen . Will play for a few hours, see how far I get.
Posting to celebrate another full notebook. #5, photographed and ready to be stored on the shelf.
This one contains show notes for MTT and personal notes covering 2020/09 thru 2022/07. Ran out of ballpoint pens halfway through, switched back to mechanical pencil. The pages alternate between mix notes and a diary, a log of daily events.
Always happy to fill a notebook.

I'm really glad that obs-studio is in the FreeBSD ports tree (and that it's available as a compiled package). It's a great tool, opens up a lot of possibilities.

I beat Super Metroid on stream way faster than I expected so I spent a few minutes testing PSX emulation and then played about 90 minutes of the old dungeon crawl SNES game Arcana.
It seems like PSX emulation + live video encoding on my CPU will work if I lower the priority of some processes, particularly my web browser.

Playing some more Super Metroid today. Hoping to get past Ridley and beat the game. (I'm not very good at Metroid so it could take me a while).

Played up to the fight with Ridley in Lower Norfair on stream today. I'll come back tomorrow and finish the game.
Streaming Super Metroid was a good test to see if my computer can handle SNES emulation plus realtime video encoding on the CPU. It can, but just barely. There were occasional glitches that I might be able to solve with some scheduler tweaks.

I'm going to play through a bit of Super Metroid on #stream right now at https://twitch.tv/andreaen .
Nothing fancy here, no speedrunning or challenges, just a casual playthrough of the game.
Funk, electro, and a little bit of 2000s disco. A few long tracks in the first 20 minutes & some pretty loose mixing. Nothing new this time I'm afraid, just some good tunes.

I'm streaming some #quake1 again today at https://twitch.tv/andreaen . Playing through the Alkaline Jam maps/mod. My idea of a relaxing break.

Completed Alkaline 1.1. Really awesome mod. Visuals, gameplay, everything. I played it on normal difficulty this time; next I'll have to try hard.
The last map I played today in particular, "Overengineering Mania" by Mazu & Greenwood, was very creative. It was a bit like a Metroidvania in that there were several items that granted movement abilities that opened up new areas of the map. It took me around an hour to beat.
