The You Game!

[RulesOfKulche]

< is happy because < finally finished <'s first term of college! And also because < is going to go visit <'s sister for a week starting Monday!!

[R4Y_ANC3L]

< is thinking about livestreaming <'s self playing Rayman Revolution again sometime soon before christmas.

[PluMGMK]

< thinks that's probably a good idea!

< finished BG&E again this evening. < took a more leisurely approach to the whole game this time around, since the environments and scenery are so enjoyable (even without anti-aliasing since it's a game from 2003 ), and rushing through all the missions would just be boring since < has already 100%ed the game so many times. This despite the sense of urgency inherent in the story, although it's very ambiguous about the actual passage of in-universe time.

[Steo]

< never did finish BG&E actually, though < plans to at some stage in the future. < has been playing a lot of Dark Souls 3 lately, and realising why everyone says the game is hard.

< was just reminded that we need a Christmas theme for this year's holiday season.

< was just reminded that we need a Christmas theme for this year's holiday season.

It has been so long that < completely forgot we even had them!

< wishes you luck with the theme.

[PluMGMK]

< would also like to remind people that Christmassy entries are more than welcome in this month's SOTM, which closes in eight days!

[R4Y_ANC3L]

< has joined the affiliated Rayman Discord.

[Hunchman801]

< wishes you luck with the theme.

< is hoping to get some help.

[PluMGMK]

< says not to look at <, because you'd probably just end up with Noëlle standing proudly in front of our logo.

[R4Y_ANC3L]

< just can't wait for the snow falling interface feature.

[The Jonster]

Now that, < will be excited for!

[R4Y_ANC3L]

<'s attitude towards streaming on Twitch is starting to change. < is actually starting to hate streaming.

All this video encoding science garbage, including bitrate are all just jargon. Fuck all of that..

[The Jonster]

< wonders if ^ should try a different medium for streaming other than Twitch. Sucks that ^ had to end the stream early today though.

[R4Y_ANC3L]

< was stuck with Twitch Studio.

< has OBS Studio installed and it can be used for livestreaming. < can try that.

< doesn't really know what sites other than Twitch can be used for livestreaming. As far as < knows, Twitch is the best platform. There is Youtube, but < would hate to livestream there.

It is just that < is just being fed up with the way livestreaming works in general because of all of that stuff to look out for like bitrates and all of that video encoding nonsense.

[Steo]

< decided to put custom firmware on <'s Switch, considering there are only so many games that < would bother to play on it at this stage, and < can't be bothered to play anything online with it. The only game people even play online on them anyway is Smash, but < finds that a lot of people are too competitive with that game, and just highly toxic in general even having discussions about it.

< supposes it's still better than Tily.

<'s intermediate report for <'s final year project is almost a week overdue. Luckily < thinks it isn't a hard deadline and there won't be a penalty.
<'s having fun with it though, <'s project is to create a maze game which adjusts the difficulty of the mazes as you play in order to always be never too difficult or too easy, which involves coming up with a maze generation algorithm with a difficulty level input. <'s current solution is to stitch lots of small mazes together to force the player to navigate a "super-maze" of mazes.
Now that the report's pretty much finished I have to go through and add all the citations in

< was very tempted to try this seeing as <'s installed CFW on almost all of <'s consoles. < won't try it though unless they figure out a way of circumventing the online ban. < loves Smash too much

< remembers having to do that three years ago. < remembers there was a draft that had to be in on a certain date, which wasn't a hard deadline, but then the actual report had to be in a week later. Or maybe < is thinking of the final report, and the interim one had only one hard deadline. On the topic of citations, < wonders if you had to do a Literature Review.

< is sorry < missed it.
