'Sup, doods!

https://start.gg/PPL2022 20 players are signed up, 18 are entered. Let's keep making this the biggest PPL speedrun tournament since 2017!

I've streamed more for the PPL tournament in the last two days than I did for my channel in the last month. At least it's pretty close. When I first came up with the idea of the qualifying sessions, I had a thought in the back of my head of whether I could carry commentary for a marathon of eight hours straight as well as manage the technical aspects of the broadcast. After doing it for one weekend, I think I could take it.

In fact, I am so into the streaming groove now that I want to practice every day for the tournament by doing an Easy – S-Hard run on stream. My current goal for now that is every day I do not have to devote myself to the tournament is a day I am going to practice with a single Easy – S-Hard run. Maybe the extra streaming will increase my exposure to the Twitch algorithm?

Today's (permanent) extra streaming goals:
Goal #4b: set up layouts for the PPL tournament pools stage. I still have some details to implement, mostly on capturing players' streams. This will be ready for next month.
Goal #5: script and record footage for my Puzzle League tutorial series. I am probably not getting to this until the tournament begins proper.
Goal #6: clean up my own stream layout. I don't expect to get to this anytime soon.

I don't think there will be anything important happening on Friday, but I suppose we will have at least... 36... opportunities to come up with something beforehand. See you then!

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