Nevermind that previous post

 So apparently there is 1440p still. It just takes a while for it to appear.

On another note, I changed my twitch handle to match my youtube - streamlining and all that.

It's: https://www.twitch.tv/andyplaysallnight

I also learned that affiliate is invite based... Hopefully I'll do well enough to get it since I'm trying to do some more streaming since I got into WoW.

I also have a Live2D avatar for FaceRig in the works! I've been meaning to get this for 1-2 years but I just never had the right opportunity.

Apparently there's no more 1440p option

 For the past few days I noticed that the videos I uploaded reverted back to the lesser codec on youtube. Even though the videos I uploaded were 1440p, the highest option I was able to choose when it is available for viewing was 1080p. Don't know if they will bring back that option for the lesser known creators, but that was just a thing that happened randomly... It was going fine for a while too.

 So it's been about 2 weeks since I've been trying the 1440p and it seems to be better, quality wise. Encoding has been taking a little longer, and the file sizes are larger due to the increased resolution but I think the increased quality is worth it. Only thing now is that my racing rig needs a better way to record voice, and that the monitor it uses is lower than 1080p i think, so I think it shows through in those videos maybe.

Thinking of streaming some more other than Borderlands 3, but not quite sure. Tried Fall Guys but that game is slowing grating on me lol. Still fun, but sometimes it's just frustrating.

Changing uploads a little.

 Schedule is going to be the same.

I am going to try to record in 1440p. I feel like with my hardware, I could do it without lag or stuttering. I'm testing the waters with it on my Friday the 13th videos, since I can't really record anything else during the week.

I might try upscaling the videos I already recorded to 1440p, though I don't know how much of a quality improvement those will be.

Update

Well it's been almost a month since the last post so I thought I'd update this thing.

The copyright claim sorted itself out in the end, favoring my side. Turns out other people's videos got flagged because of this and some were more vocal about it than me. The song got privated and then some time after that the claim was dropped.

I've also started F1 2020. I hope to do more than just the official races. I wanted to do My Race but practice takes a while to do per weekend in game. Maybe some more multiplayer racing...  I tried one and it went well, though my outcome wasn't so well. I was also recording the British GP and finished well, but the recording was so choppy... So i guess I'll have to redo it before the actual GP arrives. No idea why it was choppy.

Another day, another thing that happens

Well it seems like recently I got hit with a bogus claim on youtube. Looking through Twitter and on the video of the song it says I used, it looks like I wasn't the only one. I understand claims, and when it is valid (like the ones I have on Just Shapes and Beats) then I have no problem with it. However this is just bogus. The music in that video was from Super Mario Maker 2. Nintendo allows this. The one that claimed this has nothing to do with Nintendo (that I know of).

I mentioned before that I checked on the video of the song it says I used, and it seems to be a 'cover' or a 'remix' that sounds very similar to the original. Maybe this was done on purpose? But then, why wait exactly a year to claim it? My video was uploaded on July 2, 2019, and was claimed July 3, 2020. A weird coincidence.

Well it's been one week since I've been back at work so my uploads are now every other day. Work has been fine, though it does give me less time to record since I'm exhausted throughout the week.

Ever since I got my new phone, I've been thinking of wanting to record some mobile gaming, but I dunno if I should since I have a lot on my plate, with Steam sales games and whatnot.

Has it really been 8 months?

Interesting. I know that I didn't post in a while, but jeez, didn't realize it was that long. This might be a long one, but hopefully people will see it.

To update on that old post:

• I have been playing more Chrono Trigger, albeit sporadically. Other games are taking up my priorities.
• The rest of the games I listed were basically on hold.

I have 2 posts apparently that are still in draft form here for Maplestory 2 (RIP). Don't know if I will ever release those since the game has been dead.

I have started, and in some cases, finished, multiple new series though. Here are some of the playlists:

Final Fantasy VII Remake:

Doom Eternal:

Resident Evil 3 Remake:

Risk of Rain 1:

---

I have even started playing some games that were released in my childhood. Not console (though I am thinking about it), but DOS games. I don't have a set schedule for any of this, but I do play multiple games in one video.

I have also been streaming more lately (though there aren't many viewers lol). I used to stream some Valorant when it was in beta. I also streamed a 100% playthrough of this mashup of Super Metroid and A Link To The Past. It was really interesting, though a lot of the items could have been skipped. I have also been streaming some Guild Wars 2 since I've been playing a lot of that.

--

I also built a new computer recently! It's almost the same as my VR pc, but a little more better. Also got a new monitor to replace my monitor 1 because of it. 

Still haven't reached 1k subs yet, but still trying!

Because of this whole situation, I've been recording and uploading more, though when there is work again, I probably will go back to my previous schedule of uploading a Let's Play every other day just to lighten the load. We'll see though.

Maybe I'll update this more (haha).

Plans and stuff

It seems as I haven't been on here as much. I've just been busy with work, recording, and other things. My last post was about Mario Maker, and I still want to record more of that, plus other Switch games, but there is a ton of other things I want to record as well, and with a video every other day (not counting the daily deaths) things will just trickle down over time. I have been doing some games for the interesting games playlist here and there, but I really want to finish Chrono Trigger. I probably won't record the New Game + for that game, but I might play it on my own time. The Formula 1 season is almost done, so that might free up some time to record other things, but then again I might just record more racing game related things when the season is done.

Things in the future that I want to record:

• more games for the "Let's (try to) Play" series
• Chrono Cross
• Legend of Dragoon
• the Halo series
• the Gears series
• PS4 games (maybe eventually finish God of War)
• Switch games 

Am I biting more than I can chew? Probably, but I guess what happens happens.

Mario Maker 2 and other things

I started to stream Super Mario Maker 2 on my Twitch on the weekends! I have been putting viewer submitted levels and other cool levels as highlights on my YouTube channel though, so people won't be missing out if they miss the streams, since they are kind of late (depending on the location).

I've also thought about it and will go on to the next Game Pass game since Snake Pass was making me annoyed at the controls. It isn't hard like how Super Meat Boy is or games like this. The control scheme in Snake Pass just feels hard to utilize correctly, at least for a controller. You have the trigger to move forward, and one of the 4 main buttons being the thing to lift your head up to climb, with the left joystick being the horizontal movements. This is fine, however, you have some areas where you have to rotate the camera as well, which is the right joystick. If you let go of any other button though, you will fall down and have to redo that area.

I haven't seen what my next Game Pass game will be, since I haven't hit the randomizer yet, but I hope it will be better than Snake Pass.

The musings of a worker bee

It's funny how one person can make or break a work day.

Work has been busy lately, which I don't mind. It's work. However there is a person that just makes it irritating. It's clear that the other coworkers don't like his attitude and demeanor as well, but no one can bring it up, since the person will probably act in one of two ways: immature, or pissy.

This person acted like an immature brat when the manager gave them a written warning for breaking 3 tablets within 4 months. The first time, sure, everyone has accidents. The second one made the lcd screen unusable. The third time, the screen got cracked, and they said they thought there was a protector on it...

The person keeps not doing things they are supposed to do and blames others, or claim that they forgot. This is after 2-3 weeks of reminding them.

If I could writeup or give them written warnings, I think I would have a book by now.

But whatever. I just wanted to rant a little. I could go more into the things, but that would take way too much time. I'll just keep on working day by day, and record/stream video games during the weekend.

Has it really been about a month since I posted? Jeez..
I think I'm used to my new upload schedule as it's more easier on me to balance work, recording, and free time now, whereas recording/editing would take up the majority of my weekends/days I don't work. The only downside is, is that series will take longer since it's spaced out more, and there are games that I do videos for that will sometimes take priority (due to receiving a key and whatnot).

Hopefully I can incorporate more streaming now, but that will still have to be somewhat planned out.

Recording from the racing rig is kind of tricky, due to only having one monitor for that, but it usually works. I'll probably need to get another monitor (and maybe upgrade the current one since it's a lower resolution than 1080p) if I want to record additional stuff like audio or cam footage.

Sakuracon has passed, and I still have to contact the artists I got the info of for my new banner idea. Basically thinking of how to word it since it might be a little confusing if I word it wrong, or not provide enough detail.

Aside from that, I finished watching That Time I got Reincarnated as a Slime. It was pretty interesting, and the episodes never felt like a slog. Can't wait for season 2 though.
