[Preamble] And that's it for another stream! Things went somewhat well, but not everything worked how I expected, although equally, given that I'm coming back to streaming after a 9-month hiatus, I need to get back into the swing of things, though I also need to tweak stuff to make things work better. I'm moving in the right direction with my scheduling, but I need to allocate more time. Additionally, I want to change my streaming layout some more as well as integrating notifications with my setup too, as well as making sure that things are standardised across Linux and Windows with regards…

Okay folks, this is your 25-minute notice that the stream is going to start soon! [Preamble] So this is my second stream in a row, after starting my stream later than planned, given that I had technical issues! To this end, I'll be rebooting my PC into Windows each time I play C&C Remastered. I will also say that the starter game is making a return, but as I haven't been in Windows since last week, I have no idea what game it'll be, nor do I know if my save states synched. In any case, next week, I'll be making sure that Isaac is on my Windows partition so I have the option of playing it…

Apologies for the delay on the stream closing post, but I was feeling pretty tired after my stream, especially given that I had to extend the closing time, given I had some serious technical issues which delayed the stream start by 30-40+ minutes, and necessitated a restart into Windows because Proton was acting up badly for me at the time! This post-stream summary is going to be a full-on blog post this time, and thus breaks away from the normal format of what I normally do post-stream summaries as; the reason being that this is my first stream in a while, and for this post at least, the…

Gamed Up (and by extension Geeked Up and Network and Stormhaven Media with Stormhaven Radio) is boycotting streaming or any other sort of coverage of #Activision or #Blizzard games, due to the latter's recent behavior. This boycott will remain in place until things have been resolved. This is painful to do, as we're fans of Blizzard's games but it must be done. #gaming #games #retrogaming #videogames #computergames #boycottblizzard #stormkeepergu

Now that things have slowly started to take shape, I might now be able to look at doing outstanding "Lightning Plays" on the small list of games I accumulated ages ago... I've mostly stopped accepting any additions to that list because it would just add to the backlog, plus if anything is time-critical, that reduces my chance at being able to do a first look on it. I do want to get into the sort of system where I've always got 2-3 games in the waitlist, in order to keep the series consistently going, as well as giving myself a small buffer to work with, in case I end up running out of games…

...for thinking of #games that haven't been seen in a while (sometimes helped via indirect prompts), and realising that they're either quite #rare, and/or bloody expensive! I don't have expensive tastes in games though, I just happen to like unique, rare, obscure, or otherwise interesting games... they just happen to be expensive due to circumstances, but I will say that not everything rare is expensive, it's more down to demand! #gaming #retrogaming #games #videogames #computergaming #stormkeepergu

[Preamble] Okay folks, this is the 15 minute pre-warning for tonight's stream, starting with the pre-stream chat and final checks before I properly go live! As you're all too aware, I didn't stream last week, and I'm 2 hours late starting this week, though I'm now at the stage where I'm getting used to streaming on Thursdays, as opposed to Fridays. From now on, I'll be making blog posts for pre-stream stuff instead, and I have already started making it easier for me to do this on my WordPress blog, although this will automatically be pushed to Tumblr and Twitter as well, so everywhere else…

I wasn't expecting this, but I'm definitely intrigued by it! #gaming #microprose #videogames #games #retrogaming #computergames #stormkeepergu

Note: I hope to replicate this post on Golos eventually, but I need to see if I can make scheduled posts, or will have to post manually. If it's the latter, then this post will probably be posted after every other post that can be scheduled, though I do need time to settle into a routine! This one was posted a bit late because I'm still getting used to posting on here, after the platform's issues! [Previous Week Summary] Okay, so it’s been a couple of months since I streamed at this point, and I’m likely out of practice somewhat, so I may be a little on the uneasy side, so I’m starting with…
