I'm gonna play some more #quake1 on stream. Just the regular game, no mods. https://twitch.tv/andreaen . Will go through at least episode 1 and 2 tonight.

Finished Chapter 2 in Arcana today. I love the game but it can be really tough - there's a huge jump in difficulty between Chapter 2 and 3. I'll need to study some maps and think about my route before playing further.

I'm continuing the SNES dungeon crawl game Arcana today on #stream at https://twitch.tv/andreaen . Currently in chapter 2 of the game.

I played through most of the first January Jump Jam Quake 1 mod last night. Smilecythe's map Mana Vemputin stood out in particular, amazing map. Getting the gold key in its clocktower section was really difficult and super satisfying:

Going to play some more #quake1 on #stream today. I'll start with the jumpmod2 mod and go from there. https://twitch.tv/andreaen.

I swear playing this stuff, these electro-bass records, is a huge rush. I always get way into it mixing them.

Not my best performance but not one I'm too upset with either. I'd be happy with a performance like that in front of a crowd. Good enough.

Playing some more #quake1 on stream tonight, going thru the deathmatch classics 3 map pack. Live at https://twitch.tv/andreaen .

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.

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.

Posting a bit early so I can go to sleep. Apologies for some sloppy beatmatching in this one; I hope it doesn't reflect poorly on the tracks.
