- 'Sup, doods!
- I feel weird right now.
- On one hand, I feel like I didn't make as much use of my week off from work as I thought I would. I'm not mentally ready to go back to my daily routine. I still have stuff I want to work on.
- On the other hand, I streamed on a Wednesday for the first time in months. I also added a feature to my stream that I had talked about for weeks. I have shorts for my YouTube and TikTok feeds that go all the way to the !28th! I could not stream until the Friday before SGDQ in July and still release daily content.
- Doods, I feel like I am in a sort of in-between state, as I tend to feel in between speedrun tournaments. The monthly Tetris Attack tournament standings still need an implementation of head to head tiebreakers. I have built multiple tables in the backend spreadsheet to track head to head records. I don't know a good way right now to point to the right places to lookup in the tables. That might need some time that I can't commit until the weekend. I want to put time into my tutorial scripts, but I feel like I need to remove all other distractions to focus on finishing them. SGDQ could serve as the best time I have to minimize distractions since the GDQs don't excite me very much anymore. The biggest improvements I want to make to my stream require a block of time to design the necessary elements. The biggest improvements I want to make to the tournament streams require a similar block of time, mostly to create macros that point to the correct assets for each game, but also to extract something else from PPL to match the level of Tetris Attack flair.
- The point is, I have several not-so-small things to take care of that need more time than I have at the moment. I need to break them up into smaller tasks that I can do during the week. Or, I can test out a streaming idea I've had rattling in my head for a while. Oh wait, I need to list all of the stream ideas in my head on the Patreon document I promised. There might be a few small things I can do after all, dood.
- Today's (permanent) extra streaming goals:
- Goal #5b: finalize the tournament layout once and for all in a way that I can adapt for the Pokemon Puzzle League tournaments. This will be much easier to focus on after the monthly Tetris Attack tournament in a few weeks.
- Goal #6: script and record footage for my Puzzle League tutorial series. I have some scripts left 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. Getting back to this will be easier once the workflow for the monthly tournaments is finalized.
- Goal #7a: clean up my own stream layout. Most of the framework necessary for a semi-proper stream is done now thanks to streaming the process, though I'm not currently motivated to stream any other part of it at the moment. This is the easiest to tinker with on the day-to-day. Next major objective is to make transitions and alerts. This will be a lot easier to work on in July during SGDQ, which I have another week off from my day job for.
- Goal #7b: catch up on video archives that I have yet to upload since I restarted streaming.
- 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:
- Friday @ 9pm-1am EST – Friday Night Salt Mines – TBD Edition, Doods!
- I will not rule out the possibility of Wednesday or Thursday sessions of Tetris Attack depending on how bored I get, but I put a 10% chance on each one happening.
- That’s my life story for the week. Until next time, everyone, be decent to each other. Later, doods!
