FreeBSD + Mednafen + OBS on a 10 year old computer is not a good combination. It works but stutters occasionally.

"Working in my laboratory making mutant tests strange reactions came upon me while sitting at my desk. Clearance must be achieved before I can tell the rest the result is of the creation of the great Professor X"

So good

Mix is gonna be a few hours late. Finished recording at nine, doing the editing & writing now, expect it to be up at ~1 AM.

Meant to record before I went to sleep this morning at ~10 AM but didn't. Ah well, late is OK.

I'm playing some Quake 1 again tonight, picking up at the start of episode 3. Streaming it from my aging FreeBSD desktop PC at https://twitch.tv/andreaen. #stream #quake1

Finished episodes 1 & 2 of Quake tonight, will try to do 3 & 4 (the rest of the game) tomorrow.

Those Ogres and their aim. I took a lot of grenades to the face.

I'm streaming some latenight Quake singleplayer over at https://twitch.tv/andreaen . If anybody's interested.

Been a while since I've played through the original game.

15 or so years ago I happened across an upload of the album "I, Individual" by the band Gloria Mundi. I loved it at the time & still love it now. Existentialist punk, sarcastic and wry, cutting. I won't pretend and say that I understand it, I'll say instead that I love what it means to me, the message of dread & angst.

I've only heard their first album, "I, Individual", from 1978. It's incredible. An album out of time.

The title track: "I, Individual" by Gloria Mundi:

I forgot how much more work it is to beatmatch by ear. Been doing it the easy way too long.

I mixed today's set with xwax DVS running on a Raspberry Pi 400. (One 1200 and one old Denon CDJ as timecode sources). No tempo information on screen, waveforms too small to be useful for beatmatching, so all done by ear. (Expect some slop).

Fooling around with OBS & streaming on twitch. I'm surprised my 10 year old computer can handle realtime audio + video encoding. This Athlon II X4 setup was a good choice, I guess.

Putting together an ambient mix for tomorrow. I remember now why I don't do these often, they're a different way of working and thinking, one I don't have much experience with.

The second game of horror block just started over on the #SGDQ2022 twitch stream. Aneternalenigma playing SIlent Hill 4. For anyone interested in GDQ.

Apparently "Q" (as-in "Q Anon") posted again on the 24th, the day of the Dobbs decision, after a year-and-a-half absence. Heard about it while catching up on podcasts today. (The Q Anon Anonymous podcast has an episode up on the topic already).

I truly hope Q will not have the same impact it did in the past. I want to believe that most of the followers have moved on. But, regardless, just fuck all of this.

Playing with OBS a bit today, learning how to use it. Very glad it's available on FreeBSD.

It's probably not a good idea but I might try streaming video games on twitch soon. I'll need to figure out a stand or mount for my microphone first. And later on pick up a webcam.
