    Not back to KSP yet, but I did do some space stuff.

    I haven't touched KSP since my early experience with KSP2 was a combination of glitchy game and impossible-to-read UI. I've been thinking about it here and there, but I've had other things to do.

    But that doesn't mean I'm not doing space stuff, and yesterday I finally edited and posted a video of such.

    My muse is nagging me.

    I've done very little writing the past five months, partly due to being busy, but mostly due to recurring headaches when it's writing time.

    I have a couple weeks off, and I'm going to try to make time to get back on my projects (the Octavia story and novelizing Peter is the Wolf). But my mind... well... it's trying to jump ahead, or possibly back.

    Life imitates art...

    So, a privately built and operated space probe became the first US lander to soft-land on the Moon last week- Odysseus.

    Extreme Nitpicky Trivia Help Wanted

    I've finally begun work on that story I promised.

    I need a bit of info for a minor touch, though:

    Does anybody know if, through the entirety of MLP:FiM, any month in the Julian/Gregorian calendar has been named by any character in any episode whatever?

    I'm prepared to make up month names, but if they use the same ones we do I won't bother.

I CAN DOES STREAM. · 12:34am Sep 3rd, 2019

Several of you have pointed my attention to the trailer for Kerbal Space Program 2. It was the final straw, so to speak, in getting me to buy a gaming-optimized laptop- the cheapest I could get, mind you, but it still set me back over seven hundred bucks.

And I just now tested out streaming with it... and, well, it's grainy, since 1 MB outbound is all the bandwidth I'll ever have, but the framerate is actually decent.

I forgot to turn down the native game sounds, and I didn't use a headset- only the lappy's internal mike- so the sound is shit. But here's the test video:

SO- this means there will be special video streams where I fly past CSP missions or future ones...

... or, just for fun, I might pull out the Jackbox Party Pack games and host some of them!

After a bit more refinement, of course.

5115415 I have multiple microphones, including a decent condenser mike. I just didn't bother using any of them for this test, since the levels on the lappy's internal mike showed so high. I neglected to consider that the speakers with all the game sounds were closer to the built-in mike than I was.

Yesh. Mush Ekshitemehnt. YAY!

Alright this just means i finally need to get up and read CSP this week. i have read The Maretian and absolutely loved that but with you flying CSP missions i have to get caught up if i wanna be able to understand whats going on.

What, no boom? Actually, pretty good.

And now I'm reminded I should try to buy something from you to help subsidize the new laptop. I'll look into it.

And now I have to play KSP again...
