@forestine I honestly think some of us carry a significant mental burden just from knowing others are watching us. I think it's the brain trying to model observer reactions in realtime while also coming up with action plans.
I see this a lot when people first start pair programming: their typing mistakes skyrocket, they forget locations of files and UI elements they're very familiar with, and they forget how to program. (It's me, I'm "they".)

i would really like to actually stream the entire game. a lot of my friends who played never got very far and i want to share the wild ending and vibe shift

damn i forgot to hit post that i was streaming and now it's over. my draft was still open in another tab. next stream will be sunday hopefully

okay actually going to hit "toot" this time

i have been trying to get OBS into zoom for a streaming show i'm doing tomorrow and i'm frustrated to the point of tears

but i'm making some tea and resetting up my gaming profile because what is going on with obs

and then earthbound stream. soon.

it made me update OBS because i was apparently several versions behind and everything looks different now and it was hell trying to force a light mode again and it's not my system's light mode anymore with the cute pink highlights

the lesson is never update OBS

@forestine
I am really close to just "never update". Every update lately just makes things worse, and I'm currently engaged in a battle with my iPad over iOS 26.

@silvermoon82 yeah. i had to because zoom refused to see obs' virtual camera
