Livestreams

My live streams are places for recording transmission logs of flights in virtual and real worlds.

During the pandemic I learned to livestream, travelling in a ballet of motion, sound, light, and interesting decisions in video game play.

Immerse me in good soundscapes and let me improvise music with pianos, synthesizers, guitars, and other instruments in simulated, somewhat random open worlds and I’m happy.

Some of my favorites in the holodeck of our time: Elite (playing since premium beta days), Noita, Generation Zero, Arc Raiders, MS Flight Sim, the Arma series, and many more.

Outside the holodeck I attempt to understand and help make the world a little bit better by reading and sharing what I learn.

From a page of notes from the 1st Sound Space stream on 2025 November 26

Sound Space

A series of sound ambiences in real and virtual worlds, with layered practice and improvisations of music. Sound Space is often recorded live at youtube.com/@hypertexthero/live, and sonic landscapes and imagery from the real world occasionally appear, too.

Rules

  • Be kind to others.
  • Be moderate in all things.
  • Remember that certainty leads to insanity.
  • And that a little bit at a time goes a long way.
  • Say what you think, but avoid politics, religion, or other heavy, divisive topics. Everyone is welcome here, except the intolerant.
  • Dictators, cult leaders, thugs, apologists, scammers, spammers, and any other type of manipulators are unwelcome (and no spam like “buy viewers”, etcetera).

Chat commands

ATC says WTF?

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.

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

Bits & points

Cheering with bits on Twitch 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:

Hanging out at my Twitch livestreams 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.

Games played live

Game Completed - Noita.

Video games I’ve played on stream, including some completed live.

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

Quotes of the stream

Lol.

Quotations from stream chat that made me laugh out loud or were particularly concise and informative at one time or another.

Important things

I’ll tell you what freedom is to me: no fear. I mean really, no fear!

—Nina Simone

What is success?
To laugh often and much;
To win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children;
To earn the approbation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends;
To appreciate beauty;
To find the best in others;
To give of one’s self;
To leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition;
To have played and laughed with enthusiasm and sung with exultation;
To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived —
This is to have succeeded.

—Ralph Waldo Emerson

On one side of the world were people whose relationship with the living world was shaped by Skywoman, who created a garden for the well-being of all. On the other side was another woman with a garden and a tree. But for tasting its fruit, she was banished from the garden and the gates clanged shut behind her. … Same species, same earth, different stories.

—Robin Wall Kimmerer

In a prism, a single beam of light enters and is broken into an array of colors. The self, too, is a prism. Neutral events enter, and are transformed into a spectrum of feelings, thoughts, and sensations. All this information is processed distinctively by each aspect of self, refracting life’s light in its own way, and emitting differenct shades of art…Any framework, method, or label you impose on yourself is just as likely to be a limitation as an opening.

—Rick Rubin

If there are frontiers between the civilised and the barbaric, between the meaningful and the unmeaning, they are not lines on a map nor are they regions of the earth. They are boundaries of the mind alone.

― Ursula K. Le Guin
