HyperTextHero Stream

A drawing of a casette tape with sound waves going into a human ear by HyperTextHero.

During the pandemic I learned to livestream using Open Broadcaster Software (OBS) at twitch.tv/hypertexthero, travelling in a ballet of motion, sound, light, and interesting decisions in video game play and digital sound spaces for work.

Give me good sound and music in simulated, somewhat random open worlds and I’m happy.

Some favorites: Microsoft Flight Simulator, KitHack Model Club, Elite, the IL-2 Great Battles series, Noita, Generation Zero, Elden Ring, Helldivers 2, Dead Cells, Starfield, the Arma series, Jagged Alliance 2 and 3, and Valheim.

Find highlights and past play streams on YouTube and video game and IRL photographs on Instagram.

Channel Points

Surprised Pikachu.

Hanging out at my livestream earns you points called Hyper Texts that you can use to make things like videos images, and sounds appear. To see what you can do with your points click on the little flying H icon on the bottom-left of the chat area.

Chat Commands

ATC says WTF?

Here are some chat commands.

When playing Noita, type !wand to see the wands I am carrying.

When flying in MS Flight Simulator the !g [-###] command is used to guess how hard my next landing will be. For example: !g -100 to predict a -100 feet-per-minute landing.

I keep a guesstimator scoreboard that is updated manually, with seasonal prizes.

Cheering with bits is like throwing coins or bills in a hat to see things happen during the livestream. There are custom notifications for the following precise amounts:

Game Completed - Noita.

Video games I have completed from beginning to end live on stream, most often over the course of several sessions, sometimes in one go, sometimes carried by friends!

I’ve also finished some games before livestreaming existed. When I remember one, it appears in this list.
