Another year, another still alive post

It’s been a relatively quiet year around these parts once again. That isn’t to say we haven’t been doing anything, though. The site here has come a long way towards getting everything back to par with where it was long ago. Drunk and Saturday streams are making their way back into the archive at a good rate, with some that were never available before seeing the light of day again. For better or worse. We also wrapped up all the long form archives earlier this year so we have over a decade of content available in the archive. That’s honestly pretty neat to think about.

We’ve also integrated Mastodon (and any other ActivityPub federated networks like Friendica, etc.) into the site entirely, which is a pretty neat because we can basically ignore Twitter and provide updates directly from the site. I’ll be getting stream start notifications going through here at some point so if you do want that, then follow @kuoushi for those, plus notifications for whenever a blog entry is posted, or a new video archive is added, or even when I just feel like shooting off a quick note about something. It’s a nice little feed of everything happening on the site, basically.

And last, but of course least, we did a few streams this year. Not too many, but also not the lowest year we’ve ever seen. Made it through some Homefront: The Revolution, fished a bit in Guild Wars 2 and raced a few skiffs, just some regular old kuoushi shit. Plus we started up a new stream frame with chat popups that I’m decently happy with. Gone is the handcam and massive frame, and back is the full screen video game like it should be. Handcam is still funny to me, though, so I might bring it back sometime.

But, that’s about it for the year. Stuff’s still happening here. I’m still planning to continue streaming as much as I’m able. Not planning on having anymore babies, so I might eventually get back into a regular schedule again. You never know.

Thanks for the years, here’s hoping for more.

Making a lot of progress on getting Saturday archives up.

As of this post, there are 174 more Saturday/Drunk streams still to go through and get added to the archive. I also have about 98 specials (like birthdays and other one-offs including 24 hour streams), and then another 24 unsorted streams that I need to parse through and see what to do with them. It may seem like a lot, but I’m making it through.
