So I genuinely thought that would be the #Ever17 finalรฉ but it turns out we only made it to day 6 of the Koko route. Hopefully I haven't ended like 10 mins before the conclusion, but I won't know until next week.

Even if that does happen, I'll just start Never7, so it's fine :3

New Microsoft Copilot for gaming will handle the difficult work of clearing Ultimate raids for you - freeing you up for the important task of standing around in Limsa so that everyone can admire your shiny FRU weapon and the time & dedication you put into obtaining it!

This post is not about gaming

The reason for this is weekday streams are dictated by when I finish work - so run on UK DST, but my weekend streams are dictated by my ongoing collabs with the Canada crew so run on NA DST

Apologies to folk in other parts of the world. I don't know when you do DST and NA vs EU is confusing enough!

10.03.2026 14:05 ๐Ÿ‘ 1 ๐Ÿ” 0 ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0 ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

So NA/EU DST discrepancy fucks my schedule again

if you're in the Americas:
My weekday streams will be 1 hour late
My weekend streams will be on time.

If you're in Europev
My weekday streams will be on time My weekend streams will be 1 hour early

After 29th Mar it'll go back to normal

If you're ever in a situation where you need to make a Win11 laptop be a mobile hotspot even without an internet connection (because maybe you're doing a #VTuber tech panel and need to hook up an iPhone for tracking without relying on shitty hotel wifi) this guide worked for me:

LOL, fair. I wouldn't expect anyone to go looking through them.

I can take a look in more detail once I have free time, but I'm in con-prep mode currently and have to finish up a panel on VTuber mods

Shameless self promo: If you go through my twitch VODs, the work was streamed, I think I did the tail either one or two weeks ago. The shader upgrade I did yesterday

09.03.2026 13:35 ๐Ÿ‘ 1 ๐Ÿ” 0 ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1 ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

I'm using Poiyomi shaders, so Unity. I'm shit at blender and don't even bother doing shader work there since they always break when importing into Unity.

Normal maps are pretty common in shaders though, I think? I might have also added a bit of anisotropy too, can't remember lol

I'm in work right now, so no access to Unity or Blender, but it's 1400 triangles. Original model is a free one by "high and scared" intended for VRChat.

The big change is making the UV map be per-triangle (Thanks Piemur) which allowed for a fur texture normal map on the shaders

Tail Floof upgrade! @piemur1.bsky.social fixed the UV mapping for me so that every triangle used the same texture. I then split the tail into two materials (w/ customisable colours, of course!) and added a normal map, make it looks so much fluffier!

I also need to put colliders in the base of the wings. So annoyed I didn't spot that!

In the next revision I'd like to separate the eye (and maybe wrist/hoof) emissions. While it's working well for the body design, at this brightness it hides the pupils.

Maybe also tweak the cel shading points on the wings, though with Nuvie's lighting settings and positioning, it's not a big issue

The same bingo card as in the previous post, the following entries are ticked:
Awkward English handling of Japanese honourifics

Improbable outfit + big boobs
Recurring mechanic like digital roots but more annoying
Ever-17 already did this
Amnesia
Nandemonai
Accidentally solves the puzzle before understanding it
Monokuma already did this

The following are half ticked:
Evil pharma company
There is an imposter Among Us (or traitor)

Marked with a ?
Overcomplicated technical explanation that doesn't actually matter to plot

Added to the side, compare to the original image:
Predictions during game:
Robot man is actually Akane with a voice changer
A white door (ticked)
Alice is the mummy from ZE1
Prisoners Dilema game will eventually need telepathy
Quark's mind wasn't always in this body
Quark is this game's equivalent of Akane

And the completed bingo card after one stream:

The ones that are only half crossed out are looking likely but not confirmed. The question mark is because we can't actually confirm this one until finishing the game, but the conditions are met that it could happen

A bingo card for "Zero Escape: Virtue's Last Reward"
Row1:
Evil pharma company
Awkward English handling of Japanese honourifics
Story/fairytale told at a random point becomes extremely relevent later on
Villain's motivation is based on something mundane/common
A big story reveal fails to land due to Lum not paying attention

Row2:
Terence McKenna levels of metaphysical bullshit
This dialogue needs to be back-translated to Japanese
Improbably outfit + big boobs
Information time/dimension travel
Recurring mechanic like digital roots but more annoying

Row3:
Ever-17 already did this
Amnesia
Free Space (with a picture of blue/white striped anime panties)
What ethics board approved this experiment?
Nandemonai

Row4:
Lum likes a character you're supposed to hate
Serious emotional moment + extremely sus art / camera angle
Accidentally solves the puzzle before understanding it
This puzzle would be easier to just brute force it
"Fuck this" *actually brute forces it*

Row 5:
Monokuma already did this
Overcomplicated technical explanation that doesn't actually matter to plot
There is an imposter Among Us (or traitor)
Childhood friend but we forgot
The mummy plotline isn't resolved at all

Started this #ZeroEscape stream by making a bingo card. I'll post in the replies which ones got ticked off, which will also include predictions I made during the game.

We'll see how the rest goes in the coming weeks

Can confirm that if you're in the #Twitch 2K beta then streaming at 2128x980 is enough to trick it into giving you a 9000kbps H.265 encode (and mod16 compliant!)

The picture quality this way is extremely good in normal games and also sufficient for the un-streamable acid trip game I was doing!

So it turns out that this was fake news created by an AI hallucination, my bad, though I hope you can understand why it was believable. Also funny as fuck that no-one even questioned this.

It looks like the finalรฉ of #Ever17 is longer than I anticipated, it's likely to be an entire stream next week!

I'm excited, and also really glad that I ended up with the ending of #ZeroEscape almost aligning because otherwise I might've forseen the plot twists in one, because of the other.

I'm so tired and will need to process that ending tomorrow
