And that's it for another stream!! Thanks to all who dropped by, and also thank you to "NationalFunpostAgency" for the follow! Also, I usually go on for a little longer than that, but I was getting starving, and things were dying down somewhat anyway, plus I need to be up relatively early today (Thursday), so it seemed like a good time to call it.
Okay, so my time with Barony wasn't terrible, as we did manage to get to the 6th floor (before promptly dying to a goblin), although overall I have done better with things! Shadowrun Returns is going pretty well, however, as we have started to advance the plot some more! I ended up getting a fair few Karma, so I've specced out my character accordingly, plus we have higher tier weapons, slightly better armour, and also a datajack, so we can now do some hacking ourselves when the time comes, although it cost us a spell slot as well, unfortunately, but I feel that overall, the datajack install will pay for itself later on, even if it doesn't right now, but we'll see what happens later on, though we're making good progress.
As for when I next stream, that'll be Friday, with Isaac and Duke Nukem 3D - Episode 2. I've yet to receive (or at least see) any notifications pertaining to either SIGIL or Ion Maiden, and checking the orders, there's been no movement with this at present, so it's safe to say that I'll be able to get through the first 3 episodes of Duke Nukem 3D without them arriving on my doorstep, which at least means I can say that I've completed the original Duke3D at the second difficulty level!
Moving on to other matters... one thing I have been mulling over recently is how to handle the Sunday stream in terms of streaming hours, and I've decided that the best thing to do is to have the stream be a regular 4 hour stream in terms of length, with 2 streams (either 1st and 3rd or 2nd and 4th in the month) dedicated to a regular strategy game (and a starter), the third stream being a live showcase of a game or mod that I recently previewed on YouTube (to show more of it off - effectively giving it a proper go), and the final stream of the month being the "Super Sunday Show" (though really it would probably be a 4-5 hour stream at most), as it would mean that I can (try to) arrange to get myself, Indiego, and Uberfate all chatting at the same time, sometimes playing our own games, sometimes playing together, but all using Discord to communicate.
There may be scope for a second one during the month, but I feel one show a month is fine for now, plus with them lasting around 4 hours, it means that I've freed up time to do some other stuff, though I will note that I have to organise things a particular way, as sometimes Indiego is here for a particular weekend, or I'm elsewhere, so sometimes there may be times where things have to change, such as someone else taking the lead hosting role, or something like that, but with how things are at present, it'll probably take till October at the earliest to make things start happening!
Other than that, I want to get into the habit of streaming 3 times a week, so from around August, I hope to roll out Monday streaming again, with (as was suggested to me) me streaming a random game, although equally, it may end up being the same game for a number of streams, as I want to stick with finishing the game, although unlike Weds or Fri, the genres aren't locked, although at the same time, I'll be avoiding the games that would be streaming on Wednesday and Fridays in most cases, though equally, I may also play through some modded games down the line! I've also decided (just now) that I'll call the segment "Mix It Up Mondays", seeing as it's not nailed down to a particular genre, although you may see some games initially intended for the strategy segment popping up on that stream; it will also have a starter game like the other segments, but it's not limited to genre, so in either case, you may see games from the May Testing Month make a reappearance, but more than likely, it'd be limited to the starter game for the most part.
And what of Played Up's Multiplayer Mondays, you ask? Still on hiatus, but as soon as it's able to come back, I'll let you all know what the state of play is. Either way, look for that coming up in August (maybe late July) if PUMM has yet to make a return. I might actually play some Euro Truck Simulator 2 on that stream as well to begin with, but I'd need to update the mod first; I'll make sure to check for the latest version a week before the stream starts, so I know that I'm up to date, or at least relatively so; I also have to pay for the downloads, so that's another hiccup, plus of course that the old version may not be compatible with the older one, so there's a little cat and mouse involved there with staying up to date, and I want to avoid paying twice for updates in such a short period of time, even if they are pretty cheap!
As for the Cybiko repair thing, I haven't done too much with that yet, though I checked the batteries last night to make sure that they're all good, and also that they fit, via sticking them in the one I previously "repaired", and the good news is that they fit, plus they've a slightly higher capacity (800mAH vs 700mAh) than I expected them to have, which means that they'll last a bit longer between charges; I'll be doing a battery replacement on camera, so you can see them being installed, and also being put into action! They are tricky to get out however, so it's best to make sure they go in the proper way!
I've yet to get my other camera as I haven't been terribly well the past week or so, so I'll be aiming to get things done between later today and Monday, so there will be some thrifting done, as well as picking up some "fuel" (more energy drinks and isotonic ones, to help me keep my energy and hydration up as I stream), plus I'll be visiting my storage too to do some dropping and picking up! I also want to try to be a bit more healthy about things, so between now and the end of the year, I'm going to try to make a few changes for the betterment of my health, both mental and physical, but especially the latter. I'll talk more about this later.
In any case, this turned out a lot longer than I planned it to, but there's more than enough here to talk about (if people read it!), so I think it's best to leave it here.
I'll be streaming next on Friday, but as always I'm available on social media in the meantime, as well as when I don't stream.
In any case, take care, good night and see you all later on.
