Twitch casual stream
Hm, I dunno about these dungeons. They seem kinda... dice-y.
I wasn't sure if I was going to stream today or not, but I'd probably be playing Dicey Dungeons anyway, so... hey, I may as well stream it. XD

if you play octopath on the PC you should probably never look at the achievements until you've beaten the game once because they literally just copy-pasted the chapter descriptions into the achievements for each chapter
so basically it's just a full list of spoilers for the entire game including the final boss and none of it is hidden at all, enjoy

thinking about spending the rest of the year as a catgirl, for tax reasons
I’m loving that “I drew the computer head girl” image I’ve seen over the last few days, since the only thing I can really decide on for my robosona is the whole “computer display for a face” thing. It just offers so many ways to be super-expressive!

reverse monkey's paw where it gives you what you actually want instead of what you asked for, so when you're like "i think it'd be cool to grow my hair out, dudes with long hair are cool, i'm a dude" it just cuts to the chase and gives you HRT

tbh i really do miss when technology was superficially bad by accident rather than now where it's deeply morally bad on purpose

Yearly reminder not to read the marathon chat. Staff do what they can, really, but Twitch refuses to provide tools to mod a chat this big and refuses to let them just disable it :D

If you're tired of talking about racism imagine how tired we are of living it.
If you're tired of talking about transphobia imagine how tired we are of living it.
If you're tired of... fuck it i'm too tired to go on w/this right now.

complaining about subtitled videos (as a hearing person)
First: I can hear fine, but I have trouble processing speech, so I like to have subtitles for video content.
You know whats bad?
Videos without subtitles.
You know what's a little better?
Videos with auto-generated subtitles
You know what's worse?
Videos with rephrased subtitles!
The meaning might be the same and it might be shorter, but I read the subtitles to help me process the audio. If they are different, I can't understand either!

Talking about AGDQ, commentary, tech setup and briefings. Super long
I'm going to talk a bit about my experience being on-stage at AGDQ last year and prepping to do such this year since people are already spinning tales of super tight policing and controls over GDQ commentary and we haven't even started yet. Repost w/a linkback as you desire.
I think something people don't realize is there's no training/briefing for runners or commentators. You do a simple tech setup a couple of days before the run to make sure things work, but there's no sitting down and being told "Here's how you do the thing, here's what we wanna see and don't wanna see".
An hour before your run you show up and check in with staff. When you're "on deck" you're taken to a green room (at AGDQ2020 this was a corner of the stage with a curtain around it), you check your details are correct (name, pronouns, etc) and get a SUPER quick rundown on how to signal for a mic mute, when to take your headset off, and how to signal for time.
At no point are you told what you can or can't say; you're expected to follow the CoC every attendee is given (especially the section on stream room decorum). What you can see as an attendee or even non-attendee is exactly what commentators/runners are held to.
You're also given no briefing on mic use, which I think could be useful, but the headsets have really rigid mics and you're told not to touch them once audio check is done.
During setup you just plunk on the couch, put a headset on (they sanitize them between each run, thankfully), they go one by one and ask each person with a mic to respond to "Can you hear me? Can you hear each other?" and talk a second. That's what happens during setup while the host is talking.
During the run, tech and the producer can talk directly to your headset. Any time "something" happens and GDQ says "We warned the runner for this", that's how they did it. For my commentary, production never talked; they didn't need to.
There's also a TV with a monitor of what's being sent to Twitch on stage. At AGDQ2020 it was actually right under the runner's feet, but really its only purpose is so you can see when you're live or not. People on the couch and running can see when they're live, what the feed looks like, etc.
When the run is over and setup is cut back in, a gopher hops on stage and starts sheperding people off-- rather quickly to be honest but there's timetable so it's understandable ;)
There's no post-mortem or anything. You go straight from going off stage to the green room to grab anything you left there, and are expected to leave quickly to not distract the next runner that's already in there.
If you didn't do something horribly inappropriate during your run, staff never talks to you aside from setup. If you did, I believe the process is someone from enforcement finds you and asks you to come talk to staff about what happened-- but obviously I've never been in that situation (:
Anyway tl;dr: for as smooth as AGDQ goes, there's SHOCKINGLY little runner-facing setup, pre-flight, and even control and protocol. It's expected for the most part that if you're given a mic, you're already proven to not be an asshole.
Sometimes they get that part wrong though.
