Zelda Breath of the Wild Stream Links

Kaysa, Zelda Breath of the Wild.

Kaysa in Zelda Breath of the Wild. ❤️❤️❤️ I’m updating my videos with episode numbers in the thumbnails and you can find links to the ongoing, if somewhat haphazard Zelda BotW playthrough there.

Bloom

♫ Thom Yorke live from Electric Lady Studios. Also listen to Suspirium, from the same session.

Equinox

Happy equal day and night length everywhere on Earth day!

I went to a stadium where folks wearing helmets and shoulder pads chased an oddly-shaped ball and each other in brief bursts, then stopped to chat for long periods while a boss-type yelled at them.

My favorite part was the musician from New Orleans’ performance with an oboe, or was it a clarinet? Beautiful and full of soul.

More images are coming here along with text and hypertext, and custom merchandise that will designed on and off the stream.

What is Procedural Generation?

Procedural generation is two big words for one simple thing: the creation of data by computers. Procedural generation is usually used to create content for video games or animated movies, such as landscapes, 3D objects, character designs, animations, or non-player character dialogue.

KISS Principle

Keep it simple stupid.

Nvidia Noise Suppression in OBS

Have an Nvidia card and want to try their noise suppression tech?

  1. Download the Audio Effects for your Nvidia card from the above link and install the package.
  2. In OBS open Filters for your mic, then add “Noise Suppression” and choose the Nvidia option from the drop down menu.

Be advised that I tried it and didn’t think it did any better than OBS’ regular Speex method, so I uninstalled it.

I Walk On Guilded Splinters

Retro Achievements

Achievements for classic games for consoles such as Atari 2600, NES, and SNES/Super Famicom, played through supported emulators like the open source, cross-platform Retroarch.

The process to add achievements to a game is fascinating.

Elite Todo List

Elite is often on the back of mind when playing Starfield or other space games.

Noita and Other Game Articles

Unless you start, it is difficult to finish something, so I’m publishing in-progress articles for each game I stream with notes that’ll eventually become full reviews. Links to past streams of each game are also being added to each post. Here are the pages for Noita and Elden Ring.

Happy Birthday to Steam

Valve is an employee-owned company with a boss who thus far understands and cares about their customers and employees, which is why Steam is so successful.

Much respect for helping video gamers be free from Windows with Proton, and for making it easier for game makers to help us play with our friends with Steam’s transport layer.

Bravo! And onward to another 20 years during which I hope to experience video game artform changes brought by artificial intelligence and ridiculous hardware power.

Text to ASCII Art Generator

Lovely tool by Patrick Gillespie.

Omega: The Last Days of the World

A book with beautiful illustrations by the “French Carl Sagan”, long lost in my reading list, was brought to mind’s surface again through Starfield!

0-G Combat 💫 Starfield #9, #10, #11

The simulation of gravity is one of the oldest and funnest things in video games! Recent streams:

We can also decorate our Starfield starship cockpits :-D

The Nature of Code

How can we capture the unpredictable evolutionary and emergent properties of nature in software? How can understanding the mathematical principles behind our physical world help us to create digital worlds? This book focuses on the programming strategies and techniques behind computer simulations of natural systems using Processing.

Procedural Content Generation in Games

A textbook for people interested in making or understanding computer-generated video game content.

Into The Unknown, Zealots, Narion and Olympus Systems 💫 Starfield #8

Continuing the main quest line and meeting more of Constellation’s crew. Encounters with laser blaster-equipped Va’ruun Zealots in toxic, rainy Niira in the Narion system while chatting about Baldur’s Gate 3 with Schippah, who commented that angry barbarians are a fun class as long as they rage:

You have to become angry again to reinitiate your rage.

Thanks to streamers Futura_Light and Niborius for visiting, too!

Neptune, SysDef Stop, Venus Borrowed Ship, Constellation 💫 Starfield #7

Now a full member of Constellation after being stopped by space NATO after I forgot there was a valise with contraband on board.

I managed to jump out and drop the thing elsewhere before heading back, but they seemingly remembered me!

Also, new ship, somehow “borrowed” by Sarah.
