Let's see how many sprite sheets I can convert into animated GIFs for Retro Runner. If I'm in the right mood and see a need I might do a little coding with CSS & Javascript. Second stream on Arena.tv, or first non-garbage stream (hopefully). I'll experiment with Social Stream to see if I can get chat working this time. For music I listen to retro video game music from the 16-bit era. This is a replay of a full-length, unedited live stream.

Getting a late start as usual on a ride & hike. It's pretty hot outside, so I'll be a bit sluggish. If there is a cell signal where I'm going I'll stream something there. Today marks my first stream on Arena.tv. I literally learned of it minutes before heading out and hastily set it up for restream, no idea if it'll work. Maybe I'll just sit and write if no one joins me. The last two passages on my mind have been Jeremiah 17 and the book of Titus. No reason in particular. Maybe random, maybe something the Spirit wants to say to those who have ears. Hopefully I'm listening. Speaking of listening, featuring retro video game music from the 16-bit era. Turned out being a massive botch/scuff/fail/experiment stream. Audio wasn't working at all for the longest time. So I made it a chance to play around with various setups. I think I should go back to using my second phone as the audio source. My wrist strap broke. My wireless mic isn't working. Nothing works. Story of my life.

I took a walk along the beach near Lincoln City while on vacation with family. This is just a few seconds of waves.

Mom and I went on a short hike along a river. It was super scenic as all the flowers were in bloom, and various insects and critters were visible. Lots of butterflies, moths and bees were out pollinating. The water was super clear, and the ripples were hypnotic. Many downed trees filled the river, and flowers grew on them. This was not my normal livestreamed content, but prerecorded on my Samsung S23 Ultra. The video is raw and unedited, except to trim camera shake at end of each clip and combining clips together in the same order as they occurred.

Mom and I are sitting and relaxing, waiting for a small town fireworks display to start. Dad wasn't able to join. It's not the biggest show in the world, but it's usually good by small town standards. I'll have a small set of copyright free patriotic music playing the whole time. No idea if my phone camera will adapt to the lighting and focus. If it doesn't do well, pardon the blur. At least there will be a few pretty lights. Happy 4th of July, Independence Day! Value your freedom, as it was hard won by the bravery of heroes and granted by the grace of God. True freedom is a heart set free by the work of Jesus Christ and His Spirit. Seek His kind of true freedom while it may yet be found. 1 Corinthians 7:21-24. Galatians 5. John 8:34-36. This is a replay of a full-length, unedited live stream.

Summer in the city. Or is it spring? No idea. One of those seasons. Should be nice. There is no plan on exactly where I'll go or what I'll do. I might eat dinner at somewhere - like Chipotle. Well, plans never come to gether for this chap. Chipotle was closed, and it took FAR TOO LONG to get there. Walk ended up being around 10.6 miles. All the restaurants were closed, so I called Mom to pick me up. I encountered a ton of odd signal, camera and audio problems - as usual! It seems every possible IRL streaming complication gathers to me like a magnet! There might be a few seconds of clear streaming in with all the scuffed junk. I'll do what I do with all my stream replays - leave as is, unedited, junk and all. A couple people understood I was a live streamer and called out - rare. Was a fun day chatting with friends. No idea how the time flew so fast though! Must have stepped through a time portal. This is a replay of a full-length, unedited live stream.

I'm in the city for a couple days. Off to my favorite brick wall to kick my soccer ball and juggle. Well, if it's still there. I think the park might have been remodeled, and not sure my wall made the cut. Hopefully! This is a replay of a full-length, unedited live stream.

Several family members are going for a beach walk this morning. I'll record at least part of the journey. Other than having fun and spending time with family, my goal is to collect some cool sand at the south end of the walk. I didn't get nearly enough last time I was here. I fiddled with Social Stream and IRL Pro, and I believe the settings for my chat overlay should look and function more to my liking. The sunset photo is from a walk I took last night.

Double beach surprise. Don't wanna write anything else right now. This is a replay of a full-length, unedited live stream.

The beach. Because my weak brain can't handle the crowd. I wasn't planning to stream much while here. But now that I took the time to set things up, I figured I might as well go for it. Going direct via phone, gimbal & RTMP instead of VDO.ninja. My old laptop essentially has no GPU, so I couldn't use it to stream from. This is a replay of a full-length, unedited live stream.

Complications beyond number! After a grueling uphill slog I reached my first destination. There was zero signal for streaming there, so after hanging out for a while I targeted a second high place. The second place had a great signal. However, my normal and somewhat complicated multi-streaming setup wasn't working - like not at all. After a couple hours messing with settings to no avail, I opted to do a DLive exclusive stream. A while back they finally added a feature I had wanted for ages back when I streamed exclusively on DLIve - streaming directly from their app. I told myself I would try it out someday, and it came to mind after my technical difficulties. The app is pretty nice for a platform specific app. Very basic, but it shows chat and all the information I might want to see. The bitrate was surprisingly low, but that's because it streams at no higher resolution than 720P. The mosquitoes were awful today. The title is taken from Psalm 96 which I read on stream.

Starting at 99.5% completion tonight, I'll probably attempt to beat Dracula. There is one more item I might farm for before that. I first played Castlevania Order of Ecclesia long ago, and my old brain won't remember all the details and secrets. Metroidvanias are my favorite type of game, and I'm a completionist, so it will take many hours and livestreams to get all the way through. No speedrunning here.

First off, follow ELFSAR on Kick, DLive, Rumble, Youtube, Twitch and Trovo. He's a fantastic artist who generously does giveaways to subs, supporters and viewers. The one and only time I entered his "drawing" (pun), I won an awesome drawing of Link, inspired by the recent Zelda Tears of the Kingdom video game. Today will be a very quick stream where I open the package to reveal the drawing. I'm sure even my decent camera won't do it justice. Hand drawn hard is one of those things you need to see in person to fully appreciate. I seen it yet, as the package remains unopened until now. I was patient to open it on stream with anyone who might be around. I also ordered some pencil leads recently, and I'll open that package on stream too. For music I listen to retro video game music from the 16-bit era. This is a replay of a full-length, unedited live stream.

Even though I'm starting with 96.9% completion tonight, something tells me I won't finish the game. I still want to go around hunting enemy item drops and possibly a few other tasks before beating the game. The Training Hall also needs to be played.

Today I'll head out to some places I've been before to climb some rocks and enjoy the view. If the signal is strong enough I'll stream once or twice. Hopefully I get the audio right this time. IRL is rough! For music I listen to retro video game music from the 16-bit era. This is a replay of a full-length, unedited live stream.

Not sure I have the energy to make this crazy long bike ride to get to my intended destination. I also don't know if there will be a signal when I arrive. If I make it, and there is a signal, I'll try to livestream part of my hiking adventure. I'll either experiment streaming with my 360° camera, or my regular method if that doesn't work. As usual, I had all sorts of technical difficulties, but I'm really glad I went on the adventure. For music I listen to retro video game music from the 16-bit era.

I'll either go around looking for missing enemy drops, or I'll try the crazy hard Large Cavern or Training Hall levels.

Thanks, Leo for showing me the 7TV plugin that is working on Kick integration. I'll try uploading my emotes there as I make them as well, just for fun.

Maybe it won't take me ten hours to set up this stream. Maybe the camera angle will be 12% better than the first episode. Maybe you will see less of the top of my head. Maybe I'll actually bake a cookie this time. Maybe the reason it's called Forest Cookies will be revealed. Stop for a minute! Or maybe not.

Going for 100%? Well, if so, it'll take a while. I first played Castlevania Order of Ecclesia long ago, and my old brain won't remember all the details and secrets.

Who doesn't bake cookies at 3:30 a.m.? You'd have to be crazy to do otherwise! It took me a long time to get cameras and junk set up, that's the main reason I'm streaming at this stupid hour. I mean the best hour possible, that's what I meant to say. Unfortunately two USB extension cables attached end-to-end didn't work, so I had to go wireless with phone video. Maybe soon I'll have a good USB cable for such situations. Not that I ordered one just now or anything. Seems unlikely. For music I listen to retro video game music from the 16-bit era.

Yay, let's contend with mosquitoes for the sake of natural beauty. I'll climb to a volcanic cinder pit and hang out for a while. People sometimes come here to shoot guns, so no guarantee I'll stay long, depending on if anyone else is there. As usual I had audio difficulties while experimenting with an external mic, so some parts of the video are muted. For music I listen to retro video game music from the 16-bit era.
