#PastebinMonday 06/12/2023 Out of Whack Again Edition

'Sup, doods!

My sleep is out of whack again. My ass is out of whack again. My brain is out of whack again.

On one hand, I do like getting back into a semi-regular streaming schedule with a variety of games that I enjoy. I need to be always doing something towards doing this full-time if I ever hope for anything to change.

On the other hand, I'm still in a consuming state of mind. I ended up playing games on Friday night until 5:00am, last night until 2:00am. The messed up sleep cycle bothered me to the point of not being able to focus on getting anything done. I never did get anything productive done on Saturday. This is why I promised a VOD archive on Saturday that never got released. I still have a stronger itch to game than to make content.

I still have a problem.

Because of this faux pas, I'm just going to release an old VOD every day that I'm not streaming to ensure consistent content. That's three episodes a week. I was planning to consider this, anyway. If you want to see the more recent archives, join my YouTube membership for as little as 99 cents a month.

Oh, and apparently I've mastered the recipe for making an asshurt. All I have to do is take a really big shit. I should probably fix my diet, huh? Oh, who am I kidding. I have too many things I'm not willing to eat to go through with that. No wonder my brain is out of whack.

Today's (permanent) extra streaming goals:

Goal #2: create a broadcast stream layout for the next LPS minor speedrun tournament game, Kirby's Avalanche. I am creating a base that I can simply switch graphics and sounds for to prepare for each game. It is mostly done.
Goal #3: update the LPS Pokémon Puzzle League broadcast layout to be better automated like the Tetris Attack layout.
Goal #4: edit my Kirby's Avalanche runs. And my Falsebound Kingdom run. And my Mario Golf run. I'mma need a minute for this. I may need to move the priority up to get it done sooner.
Goal #5: script and record footage for my Puzzle League tutorial series. I have some scripts to touch up before feeling comfortable with moving on to recording gameplay. Then I will need to record my talking points and edit it all together. I will still want to take time during the week to do all of that instead of stream. Whether I will be able to remains to be seen.
Goal #6: clean up my own stream layout. I am brainstorming how I want the final theming to be. I probably want to give people multiple options, maybe allow spending bits to change the look. I don't have anything written down yet. I don't expect to get to this anytime soon.
Goal #7: maybe make a universal LPS broadcast layout. I am creating a base, but perhaps I should stylize one for the LPS brand. Hopefully I wouldn't over-homogenize it like SpeedGaming did.
Goal #8: release the Puzzle League tutorial series YouTube shorts once a day until they're all done. I really do think I need to time the release of the series with a ramping up of my streaming schedule so that I can take advantage of whatever there is to gain from releasing the shorts.

This week's schedule:

(All broadcasts begin at 7pm CT)

Tuesday – Tue-Gi-Oh! (Yu-Gi-Oh! game speedruns) – More Falsebound Kingdom Challenge mode as the Yugi Super Easy record looks to be in reach.
Wednesday – Wild Cards Wednesday (whatever speedruns I feel like) – I need some extra time to properly learn Mario Golf: Advance Tour's Speed Golf and how to play it with Star Donkey Kong.
Thursday – Opening Round (golf game speedruns) – Intense Speed Golf learning of Mario Golf: Advance Tour. Normal Marion Course, Front Tees.
Friday – Friday Night Salt Mines (community speedrun races) – If there is no community to race with this week, then I will resume the Pokémon Puzzle League S-Hard grind.


That’s my life story for the week. Later, doods!
