I wrote a new Dudesverse one-shot. It isn't one of the ones from the backlog or to-dos, but I felt the need to write Something and I think it might have worked to restore my MP. It will be posted tomorrow. The preview you get is this sentence I used to describe it: "I'd say it's maybe 70% to 30% science vs. horny, at most." (It's also about dragon stuff e.g. Changing Scales and Out Of The Shadows.)
The Wheel album reaction is recorded. First time screen recording something longer than an hour on my phone, so, uh, gods, I hope it worked?

finally got it onto peertube, after, like, 2 hours of uploading. I have no idea when it's gonna be done transcoding or how I'm going to get it to roughly a 10th of its size so it fits on Catbox to embed. (psst: anybody know a video hoster that allows larger files and HTML embedding? filegarden stops at 100 megs)

uber-compressed 480p version of album reaction is now embedded on site; if you want better quality, you will want to use PeerTube

Slides and backup audio I recorded on my phone are up. Video, with better quality audio, will be up once I get it compressed. Album reaction part will be coming tomorrow once I give my throat a break.

Also, uh, out of curiosity, how many of you actually watch / listen to my audio + video stuff? I can never tell if folks are actually reading my site updates vs. just liking them on the feed.

Video is up on PeerTube and embedded from there until I can get it small enough for Catbox. It's still transcoding, so I don't know when it'll be ready to watch. PT tends to be slow with MKV output from OBS.

Video embed is up on the page. I had to compress the shit out of it so it fit on Catbox, so go to PeerTube if you want remotely decent quality.

OK, thanks for the input. And yeah, that makes sense. I get why the comment limit exists, but it's kind of annoying sometimes, esp. since I do "live" updates in comments and tend to be wordy.

Good news: OBS worked. Bad news: I ended up talking about I See Stars and how they're a microcosm for other scene history topics for an hour and 15 minutes straight, so I'm gonna give my throat a break and record the album reaction tomorrow. Webinar / first part will go up on /musicscene/podcast and PeerTube tonight.
hehe, slides time. I See Stars - The Wheel SAASP video is gonna probably be a webinar / reaction combo in two videos, like the one for the Bad Guy music video, because turns out I had a lot to say about I See Stars. Really proud of the thesis here; gets some shit I've thought about for a while written down. SAASP coming soon! https://draggianuniverse.neocities.org/musicscene/documents/iseestars_powerpoint.pdf

I'm probably going to do the song-reactions part on my phone, since NewPipe is faster to load and better at playlists than FreeTube. I will try to do the webinar on OBS, but I'm still not sure if it's healthy. I will be simultaneously recording audio on my phone, so if OBS glitches out, I'll upload the webinar audio and the slides separately. That way I don't have to break my flow to re-record.

Realized I hadn't updated the thoughts archive in a while, but also haven't been posting on thoughts.page much (been doing boring RL stuff). I can't decide whether my karaoke adventures go under personal (edge cultivation, socialization, daily life) or music (either EtF/FIR or other depending on what I do that night), so they're going on both.

Nothing about the PM2024 reviews has notably changed. I just noticed it didn't have consistent parenthetical formatting and was using obsolete tags, so I fixed that.

Huh, so apparently, I See Stars is still active. They have released their first album since 2016. A SAASP reaction / review will be coming this weekend sometime. I might do it audio only since they don't seem to have music videos.
