another (!?) update
yeshihelloMy health is still, uh, shall we say, "very concerning and not good," but I am, at least for the moment, not in literally debilitating pain. So that's nice and has allowed me to plug away at projects.I played through the Nier Replicant remake (it's good,) took a lot of foot...
I am, in fact, not dead. Yet.
It has been a bad year. I've basically spent the past 2 months in apocalyptic, crippling pain, and there's no real end in sight. I should have been to an ER years ago, but :america:. it sucks lolI'd been planning to tie up a bunch of loose projects before this set in and do a big post of...
Update, but not the exciting kind.
Hello.I'd hoped to have a few things to drop this week, but they aren't ready. Two things are very nearly done.It has been a rough couple of months, for a variety of reasons.The past 10 days or so have been worthless for me. Somehow, I managed to get a severe ear infection for the first time...
Incoming update
Been quiet lately, but working on stuff.The KSP project is... I am so angry. While doing reshoots a couple weeks back, I hit F5 instead of F9. So I quicksaved over the save I was working with. This shouldn't be a huge deal, aside from the fact that I'd already done a ton of footage on a clou...
oh god two posts in one day
I noticed youtube doing some ugly crushing on the previous upload. So I did another several reencodes to test some stuff.Result: youtube is now trashing 1080 the way it did 720 a while back. A wide range of inputs result in very similar output.This is, I think, the final-final-final-xxxxxzzzzzz vers...
yes, hello
If you follow my disaster of a twitter, you'll probably note I've been doing video troubleshooting for the past few days.I think I've mentioned it before, but ever since I started using Vegas in 2013/4, I've been battling minor codec inconveniences. The tl;dr is that my final encode ...
Hnnnnnnnnn...news.
This week I decided to be very clever. "I'll just roll back KSP so I can get the footage I need with mods that aren't broken," I said. So I did that.Unfortunately, I'd forgotten that KSP autosaves. So my tests last week locked my save to 1.10. Needless to say, that didn't wor...
Hmm.
I know I said the Kenshi vid was forthcoming. I'm like 97% done now, I think (I just spent 9 hours on it.)i swear it's almost done please believe me oh godIt's so silly. It is shaping up to be (roughly) 5 mins long. I've restarted it over a dozen times. It's from a pool of like a...
An update update
I'll have some vids up within the next week or so.My year so far has been kind of a mess. I've been trying to get my health back together, and it hasn't been going so well.I spent one month unable to walk due to a chronic (but thankfully not constant) issue. It has never gone on that lon...
Updates
Hello, yes, I've been busy. I've been continuing my manic pace of updating stuff for ST, and that has paradoxically resulted in having more content to post lately.I did a bad thing that, sadly, didn't work out in the end. But it sure was cool: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=37n-16hcsTkI...
hello, yes
I come bearing content.The usual longterm projects are (still) ongoing.I've accidentally started another one as well.However, in the meantime I've completed another in what is, I guess, my "great times offline" series. I question how many people are going to appreciate this, but I gu...
Great Success!
So, my last update mentioned that I was *finally* able to get my archives from google. Google, in their infinite wisdom, does not allow you to pick and choose what you want access to in its original format, so you have to get everything or nothing. In my case, this is 16 archives totaling almost 800...
holy shit
After a year of trying, for literally no reason, magically, it worked this time.https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/164217265267539968/644328419626057728/lol.pngIt's going to take some doing to download and sort through, but this means that I will have most of my final renders back. There'...
hello the ワルド
I didn't call this post "update," so you must be very excited. Bonus special joke if you are [checks notes] terrible like me.Sadly, the update isn't super substantial.I made a (bad) video announcing to ST that I am currently updating my mountain of co-ops, and many lives will be lost...
Unexciting update (these are creative titles)
I may or may not have a new vid for this month. My current video focus is back to KSP at the moment, and I still have an ungodly amount of footage that I've been whittling down.What has been sucking up my time recently has actually been Arma. I can't run or play in sessions at the moment due...
Update that suggests an update
Hello, yes, welcome.After finishing my, uh, "garbage opus" we'll call it, I took a couple weeks off.Gonna knuckle back down and, hopefully, have something done by the end of the month.As always, thank you all, because man oh man, things are bad!!!Also, since this seems as good a place as...
Ah shit, here we go again
I spent entirely too much time on this. It's very dumb, and I fully understand if you need to withdraw support and block me on all social media platforms.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AVEiuaqwe9U&feature=youtu.beI'm still not even close to happy with the end result because I am a weirdo an...
Update
Was hoping to be done by tonight, but not quite. Probably within the next few days? This whole thing is very dumb, and I am putting entirely too much time into it. But I guess it's kind of nice to have a straightforward project. The KSP stuff has ballooned into something so massive and daunting ...
Quickly
If you follow me on twitter, you are probably aware that:1: I've recently been playing Shogun 22: I've said that I have a "really good idea for a terrible video."Now, I'd like to caution everyone that this is *incredibly fucking stupid*, but here's a very rough and WIP previe...
oh, hello
The last 6 or so weeks have been bad. Well, really... I'm used to "bad," They've just been worse than that baseline.I've not been terribly productive, I'm afraid. I am definitely still working on longterm stuff, I've just not done a hell of a lot with it in the past month...
Brief and unexciting
Been working on KSP cinematic stuff over the past week. This nonsense is finally coming together.This is probably my biggest project since Band of Bulgars. Not sure it will be that slick, though.I still have had zero luck with Google re: getting my video data. They are incredibly helpful. I have the...
Well, that was fast
So I somehow kindasorta managed to fly a roughly perfect profile tonight. Wasn't really expecting it. I figured I'd have 7 or 8 more stabs before I found it, but, no.Gonna have to study the raw footage to figure out how exactly I did this, because it's literally a 900m/s difference in de...
Boring(?) update
I'd hoped to have something good this week, but I don't.I'm still working on KSP stuff.I have about ~40 hours of time-lapsed footage at this point. But I sort of need something to anchor that. So my plan is to do a cinematic video, and then a follow up series of time-lapse stuff.Only pro...
Quick one
Just wanted to share a rough proof of concept that I've been working on for KSP. It's not perfect, but it kind of works. Nobody would believe how obnoxious this was to make even in this rough form.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S4FVm6fEdGYNot sure if I'll actually wind up using the idea...
Quickie
FINALLYhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hZizje-lvVk&feature=youtu.beNow I can finally... uh... why did I build this again?DMC5 isA: Extremely dumbB: Extremely goodhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=svtjHfKEDXgIf that looks fun to you, I definitely recommend checking it out. Even if, like me, you have no...
Content (small)
A bit more KSP footage.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=39RdM55OTqU&feature=youtu.beSome inside baseball for production: that took about an hour of realtime to record. That's partly why this project has dragged out. My PC without significant update since 2011 struggles a bit, but what's nice ...
Update-update
So I've spent most of the past week or so working on data recovery in some way or another.Having finally gotten another disk, I was able to try some additional options previously unavailable.It won't mount in windows period.Attempting to mount it in debian results in a "run chkdsk in Win...
Update incomming
Soon (tm.)Been working on stuff while attempting to stay (relatively) sane.I've hit some lows in life before, but lately has been pretty bad lol.Sorry I've been a bit slow on delivery. KSP is still going. I have dozens of hours of timelapse footage (had to archive it that way or else I'd...
Update (my titles are very good and descriptive)
Still working on KSP. I have... so much footage. It's funny, because this more or less started the same way "interplanetary" did.One thing I'm considering doing is using this project to reboot "interplanetary." If I go the route I'm strongly leaning towards, future videos...
Here we go again
I was, uh, a little over-optimistic about finishing up my little project.If you follow me on twitter, you can probably guess at roughly what it is: I've restarted KSP. I've sunk a fairly ungodly amount of time into designing a single vehicle, and I decided to document the process. At this po...
