the Hearth @Felthry@awoo.space

a first-pass list is:

Long games (multiple streams):
- Wild ARMs 3
- Baten Kaitos: Eternal Wings and the Lost Ocean
- Suikoden 2
- Tales of Eternia
- Boktai 2
- Boktai 3
- Terranigma

Short games (one or two streams):
- Ys I: Ancient Ys Vanished: Omen
- Ys II: Ancient Ys Vanished: The Final Chapter

I'm kinda focusing on comparatively little-known games here, since people already know the big names like final fantasy and pokemon and stuff

talking to @connie on their stream got me thinking about what other games I want to stream in the future

great, got a refill of our medication and it's from a different manufacturer and now it's *exactly* the same shape and size as a different medication we take on a different schedule

why's it called h.264 anyway? why 264?

how exactly does a 1080p usb 2.0 capture card work anyway

simple math suggests that it has to have an on-board video encoder, as 60 Hz 1080p 24bpp video would require just shy of 3 Gb/s, over six times what USB 2.0 can handle

oh, dissociation time, okay

you ever hear something about a video game, think it sounds interesting, go to check its price on steam, and then discover that you've apparently owned it since september of last year?

playing civilization vi

just made a trade deal with (honestly actually just acceded to the demands of) russia, playing as scythia

got a notification saying that my delegate in russia learned that russia is trading with scythia

i think we knew that already, delegate person

I like when games have a weapon that heals instead of hurts when used to attack

got a headache? Let me just beat you over the head with my magic healing club

raccoons are cute.

If your country was to stop doing DST, would you prefer to stay on:

an rpg about gothic architecture: Finial Fantasy

odd. i would have expected the etecoons to get more votes.

i don't think we've ever before had a meeting literally end before it began

both us and our research advisor arrived at the (digital) meeting early, only to call off the meeting and set up a replacement tomorrow because he's still working on something with a deadline of one hour from now

so the meeting ended about two minutes before it was scheduled to start

reading reviews on everyday items on amazon is sometimes amusing but this time we just learned that apparently people don't know that IEC 60320 is an international standard and not just the part number of a laptop cord, these reviews are full of people affirming that yes, it does fit their (insert manufacturer here) laptop

Starting now!

For future reference, does anyone know of a good way to control OBS (i.e. start/stop etc) from a different computer than the one broadcasting? Our apartment has a weird layout that makes it Kind Of Annoying to do otherwise.

Last time, we purified Garmr, found the Solflower, and then cleaned up some of the remaining overworld dungeons to grab some parts for the Gun del Sol, but now it's time to go visit Sol City, the flying City of the Sun, and figure out what Sabata has waiting for us there.

Continuing the Boktai stream in fifteen minutes, at 12:30 CDT (UTC-5)!

any time a doubled ⟨c⟩ or ⟨k⟩ appears in standard english, it's either: a loanword (e.g. gnocci), a compound (e.g. bookkeeper), or two ⟨c⟩s pronounced differently (e.g. accept, pronounced /æksεpt/)

(accolade is perhaps the one exception, though it is also a loanword (though from the 17th century, so it's been here for a while and might not count anymore))

travel -> travelled
mar -> marred
sob -> sobbed
grin -> grinned
debug -> debugged

but
magic -> magicked (not *magicced)
