I made waffles.

Go figure, TGM2+ on the Switch feels way better to play with the controller on a tabletop, using the stick as if it were a cabinet joystick. I can actually Zangi properly and make use of sonic drop without it feeling awkward, among other things. #Tetris #TGM

The US has now fallen back 1-hour. The best part about this isn't the extra hour of sleep, but now I won't have to fight my pedantic urge to correct people that use PST or EST year-round.

Schedule for this week, 2025-W40! Now that the musical telephone supercut is out, I can come back to streaming stuff. See the times in your local timezone: www.penbuvt.ca/schedule/ #PenbuVT

Want to relive the musical telephone collab in one easy package? Now you can! With 11 hours and 40 minutes of condensed goodness, the long-awaited supercut follows each piece as it got passed around the circle. The supercut: www.youtube.com/watch?v=DeF9... #VTMusicPhone

I'm going to release it later today, but the supercut is finally done 👀

Schedule will be up after this supercut is out, but I expect a stream probably on Friday at the usual time.

Update: there is at least one major issue. I guess this means I can fix all the minor issues I came across too. But that means this video won't be out today.

You can get copyright-claimed on YouTube for things that aren't even public? Really?

I would not advise trying to get a 12 hour video done in 2 weeks. Or I don't know, maybe that timeline is fine and it's just a skill issue on my part.

A week and a half later, I'm finally free (provisionally)! Barring any major issues, this supercut should be out by Monday-ish. The video clocks in at 11.5 hours and it'll take about 17.5 hours to render. At ~100MB per min. of video, I'll get a ~700GB file. #VTMusicPhone

No streams this week after all, but a new improv video came out earlier! "Fret Not" was an attempt to play something on a pocket fretboard I got last year to help visualize guitar fingerings while composing (it isn't good for much else). Full video in the reply. #MusicalPenbu

It's looking like today might be an improv video day.

Schedule for this week, 2025-W39! I'm officially making it a guerrilla week. I'm on track to get the supercut out this week, but as of right now, it's not done yet. If a stream doesn't happen, I'll put out an improv video on Friday. #PenbuVT

My first priority this week is getting the musical telephone collab supercut out, so I will hold off on making a schedule until that's done. Assume a guerrilla week this week until otherwise stated.

Today's stream in 1 HOUR: Making clips of @niceeggy.bsky.social . There are a few moments that I think could benefit from having a proper edited clip and someone has to make them. We'll be live on: - YouTube: www.youtube.com/watch?v=OsDJ... - Twitch: www.twitch.tv/penbuvt #RealTimePenbu

Thanks for coming to the stream! It seems the supercut will be about 10.5 hours, which is thankfully well under YouTube limits. I'll finish this off stream and maybe render over the weekend.

My piece for the musical telephone collab is up! Everyone who contributed to this is incredibly talented and have taken it to places where I wouldn't have even thought of. Go check them out! Links in the description. Full version: www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Yop... #VTMusicPhone
