What's Going On

This is a simple page following the /now page format to give a quick rundown of things I'm focusing on or doing. It's more for myself as a focusing aid but also can be useful to check out to see what I'm streaming, working on, playing, reading, etc.

📡 Streaming: Astlibra: Revision, Hard/Difficult Mode

I've played this before but I wanted to go through it on stream to share with people, and try a higher difficulty mode to see if it makes much of a difference.

So far not really. I had a harder start but gained more resources and overtook the difficulty curve even faster than last time.

📡 Streaming: Dragon Quest IV

This is booked to start after Astlibra. I'm playing the Nintendo DS version as part of a push to finish DQ4 and DQ5 before the new Dragon Quest Monsters comes out, as it's focused around DQ5.

🎮 Playing: Monochrome Echoes White

Monochrome Echoes is the third game in the QUESTER aesthetic. Unrelated to QUESTER, the systems are the same but the game takes place in a fantasy medieval magic world.

This is my light lifting game when I want to just wander a map and fight monsters right now.

🎮 Playing: Burnout Paradise Remastered

It's not the meaty "Career" racer I want but Burnout Paradise is Pretty Okay... once you mod out the announcer.

I'm probably going to just faff with this until I get bored of it, then go find a real racing career game like GT4.

📺 Watching: The Practice

I binge watch The Practice about once a year. Seems time is up to do it this year. I've never found a legal comedy-drama like this, where most of the focus is on the brass tacks of the case and the ethical questions raised in the course of trial.

⏱️ Speedrunning: A Single Fallen Feather

An OHRRPGCE game where you build a party of four harpies of varying classes and go save the world. Very Final Fantasy, very short and cute. I have a 2 hour speedrun in it right now and can probably trim some more off that with some better execution.

The developer is dropping hints that a remastered version is coming so this is somewhat on hold; or at least not entirely seriously focused on right now til I learn more.

It's my intent to have this as a submission to RPG Limit Break 2027.

🗓️ Event: Licenseathon 2026

Licenseathon is in July. This is a weekend long speedrun marathon purely of licensed games like the McDonalds games, Cool Spot, TV show games, etc etc. I'm providing technical support, video transit servers, software, and moral support to the event. They're collecting donations for the Transgender Law Center.

🗓️ Event: Big Bad Game-a-thon 2026

BBG 2026 is coming. It's a weekend long speedrun marathon of jank/kusoge/bakage that's been running for 10 years now. I have some setup and chair-person work to do for that, on top of preparing a special secret run to submit for it. The event is going to run off my tech stack for video handling and I'm pretty much de facto in charge of it now and days.

🚧 Building: restream.space OBS-less capture

restream.space is in a good place. My next goal is to eliminate having to hand pre-builds of OBS to random participants in events. I'm 90% of the way there using Javascript MediaSources but inconsistent browser support stands in the way of being able to call this completely done.

There's a possibility of using Electron to present a far simpler interface than OBS, but I'm not too happy about that.

Yet another option is custom builds or scripts leveraging ffmpeg and their specific filters for capturing windows. More investigation needed.
