I have been having a fun time messing with Twitch integration in my own custom angular app. So far I have a basic TTS system going that is connected up to channel points, an easy poll system and the start of a gacha trading card system. It's going pretty well! And yeah. I named it Runic.

Is there such a thing as an AI TTS company that won't get me cancelled for considering? Cause the AI TTS are just too good not to use for a stream. Any suggestions? OR do you know of any good non-AI TTS voices that I can utilise? I'm trying to set up some fun stuff for my Twitch channel.

I really want to make my own 3D model to use for streaming!!! Also UI and art someday. Sometimes you gotta shout it out into the world to manifest. I'm working slowly on it tho.

I was digging through my room looking for that SSD I lost when I came across an unopened box of MTG cards. Even more unopened MTG cards to add to my continuously piling collection. I gotta get a handcam setup so I can do a card-opening stream someday.

Don't ask me how, but I may or may not have lost a 2TB SSD... I really wanted to install it, but it gone, and idk where it is

I am at the point in my 3d modeling learning where I see a random Blender tutorial while scrolling TikTok or YouTube, and it isn't just magic and actually makes sense to me. Feels so good.

I'm planning to code a personal app that I can use as a Twitch integration playground for my own stuff. Gotta try to put my Angular expertise to use and make something cool for stream. I am thinking about a custom voting system and a TTS system. Any other interesting ideas?

I'm thinking about doing a regular Just Chatting stream every week, where we can hang out and check out the latest gaming news. I love staying up to date and chatting about that stuff. Maybe I can turn that stuff into shorts. What sort of stuff would you be interested in?

I got a new 4k monitor that has been amazing. I really didn't know the difference between this and my old one. Shows and games look so much better!

As I am trying to work on my just-chatting skills, I have been making a list of topics to chat about, and I will probably keep that list going. Do you think it would be fun to make a channel redeem that would roll a wheel to select the next chat topic? What do you think?

Was checking out my TwitchTracker stats. Dang, I have streamed a lot of Game Dev and Elden Ring. So if you like that stuff, check out my channel!!!

And now my latest master piece. I bet you have never seen a blender model this amazing. BEHOLD! A soccer ball

The most common way to implement zoom for gun optics in FPS game dev is simply to decrease the scope's FOV. Idk that seems crazy that it is the most common way.

Spent a bit of time yesterday coding up a custom widget using Mix it up, a little bit of HTML, JavaScript, and CSS. And BAM!!! Custom Gacha Widget

I think I am going to try to get things set up this week to start streaming again. I want to focus on just chatting during 3d Modeling, coding, and Game Dev this time around.

I feel like my 3D Modeling/Blender training arc is close to a point where I feel comfortable enough in it to do streams and hang out while working on stuff. So 3D Modeling streams soon maybe?

Today is a sick day. My poor throat is killing me. Well, I guess I'd better stay home and rest. 3D Modeling practice isn't gonna do itself.

Got through another tutorial last night! Turned out pretty well, I think. I feel pretty confident about some of my basic hard modeling skills. I am going to go and model my own car in this style and see how it goes. I need to find a tutorial on making these renders look nicer.

So crazy that my most recent YouTube video got over 3k views. I actually love the video ideas that I have in store, and I think the Cube World video turned out great. Just gotta get working on my next one. Battle Royale video soon TM.

I feel as tho I have gone into an unofficial hiatus from streaming at this point. I do plan to revamp my content and get back to streaming eventually. It's nice to focus on learning 3d modeling and game dev for now. I hope you all still hang out with me when I get back!

Any game devs or dnd players know a good software to help plan out a city? I have some vague ideas, but I want to start planning out my map. I really want to get down to the details and eventually plan where people live and events happen. Multi-floor would be a bonus.

Current plans for the week: 1. Write a Script for my Battle Royale video 2. Get basic layout for the city map for my game 3. Continue 3d modeling practice 4. Home Reno stuffs How's everyone else's week going?

Alright! I successfully completed Grant Abbitt's Well Tutorial. I think it turned out pretty great! A fantastic start to my relearning 3d Modeling I say.

Time to lock in today, get some house cleaning done, and start on 3d modeling some stuff!

WHY do I keep watching movies rated 8/10 on streaming services that turn out to be awful?? How are these ratings so bad?? Who is out here giving these movies gold stars??

I kinda want to make a video about the Pokémon Company. The relationship between Game Freak, Creatures Inc., and Nintendo. And how all of that has led to the current situation of their video games today. I think it would be a fascinating deep dive.

Me: has to try to make and release on the "perfect" content, so I end up only releasing stuff every once in a while. Also me: what if I make the most random unhinged stuff and throw it out there? Thoughts?

Any game dev or video game history videos that you wish were made? I make videos about gaming history and would love to research and tackle any topic! Something that you just haven't found online that you would like to learn more about?

I’ve been in a bit of a bad mindset lately. Letting chores pile up and procrastinating. About time I get my shit together: deep clean my space, get back to working out, and rebuild a healthy routine. Small steps, but I’m ready to get back on track.

Learning Twitch integration with Mix it up, StreamElements, and extra code is fun. Maybe I'll set up a way to commission custom plugins and whatnot?!?

It’s funny. Last year, I got super motivated to improve my streams after going to TwitchCon. I didn’t even go this year, but I feel just as fired up! Time to re-evaluate how I’ve been creating content and see how I can improve it.

Spent all day yesterday learning nifty ways to create Twitch plugins that interact between MixItUp, Google Docs, and StreamElements. I am becoming unstoppable!!!!

I’d love to reach a point in my game dev journey where I can regularly do build-a-game-in-a-week streams. I would start by brainstorming simple ideas in Twitch chat, then spend the next week or two coding, making art, models, and sound, and polishing it all live together.

And with that. My favorite game, Final Fantasy Tactics has been added to my list of completed games!!!

I decided to take a long weekend, like a very long weekend. I got the next 3 days off to play Bloodlines 2, game dev and work on my house. So excited!!!

I kept telling my friends at the beginning of the year that 2025 was gonna be the year of amazing sequals. And I don't think I predicted that incorrectly. So many good sequals this year!

It's crazy how motivated I am to stream and make content when I am stuck at work but as soon as I get home, I just lose all motivation and energy to do so...

My current issue: Trying to figure out how to plan a multilevel urban map for prototyping. Anyone have an useful game dev tools to help plan out map layouts? Or anyone have any cool ideas for multilevel urban areas or examples?

Hey all! Sorry, I have been so quiet. I started trying to create a clean 3rd-person movement system as a solid foundation for a new game I'm developing. I will probably try to do a game dev stream this week. It's not much, but take a look at what I have started!

Why is my timeline suddenly full of losers complaining about women in video games and calling video games childish? And how are there people agreeing with them?!? I will never understand idiots like these...

Quiet week from me. I'm working on getting a game dev project started and implementing basic ideas before resuming some very basic game dev streams again. And I think I'm going to put 3d modeling streams on hold until I progress a little bit in my learning.

I have been playing sooo much Final Fantasy Tactics recently. I love it. What is your go-to class to use? I gotta be somewhere between a monk and a black mage.

Alright, after tweaking and cleaning up my 12-week 3d modeling course, I am finally going to start working through it today. So look forward to some 3d modeling posts, and hopefully they will start getting better!

I spent some time creating a 12-week learning course to teach myself 3D modeling and implement it in Unity, dedicating roughly 10 hours a week to the project. Time to hit the books and see how this goes. I'm excited to get into it and see if it actually works. Wish me luck!

Some days I just wanna go safety off and start yelling at idiots online. Is that just me?

Let me cook. Sorry if I am not too active on here in the coming weeks. I have my next video script mostly written, so recording and editing should happen soon, TM. I am also working on learning 3d modeling and starting development on my next game idea. Not gone, just busy!!!

It feels nice not to rush to play ALL the brand-new games and to compete to keep up in live-service games, but instead take a step back and work through completing games in my backlog. Just remember to take a breath now and then. You may not realize that you need to.

The annoyance of going through loan stuff, receiving probably a hundred different calls, 99% of which are scam calls, and having to decipher which ones are legitimate or not.

You know, scrolling through Twitter and reading comments makes me lose faith in humanity sometimes...
