too damned much stuff on this website...it's all staying I love all of it but the number of ideas sloshing around keeps increasing and is not at the same rate as the rate of updates...need to get back into actual story writing.

New scene podcast episode, and also a cry for help re: what the fuck went wrong with OBS. Hence why this is an audio-only entry, because OBS won't record for more than a minute and XSplit broke my video after 17 minutes. Woo, technology. https://draggianuniverse.neocities.org/musicscene/podcast
Anybody know any good alternatives to OBS? Preferably free / libre but not required to be. I need a screen recording program that can layer multiple windows and do audio mixing from them for the scene podcast, and OBS still isn't working despite my doing the recommended graphics driver fixes.

Well. XSplit worked. Except that the video got corrupted after 17 minutes. So I'm gonna be uploading it as audio-only. Damn it. Wish that OBS didn't decide to break NVIDIA graphics cards. None of the recommended tips from Reddit (reinstalling, checking my system clock, moving to the last reliable version of the driver) worked.

If there's something physically and/or software side wrong with my graphics card, then there's basically nothing I can do about that. The new versions of the driver definitely don't work with OBS, and the "last reliable version" is still getting the same issue, which was not a thing last time I tried it in October '24.

I guess I'll keep using XSplit and try splitting the videos into multiple segments and hope that avoids the corruption problem?
I know that very few to none of you are here for my Escape the Fate / Falling In Reverse coverage, but I have an inquiry: I've amassed quite the collection of strange little video clips of Escape the Fate Ronnie, which tend to be hard to find. Would an archive of those onsite be something you think would be worthwhile?

I can't be fully journalistic with them because many of them are little short bits that have probably been passed around socials for the past 15 years with all sources lost, but they deserve to be somewhere besides ticked tock, methinks. Plus part of the point of my EtF / FIR coverage, in principle, is so that folks who want information about the bands can get it from someone who's neither a fan nor hater.

In that I won't either sugarcoat things or bite their heads off for having ever cared about him, which most Ronnie coverage tends to be either end of. FIR stuff is frankly almost too easy to find save what's in my research reports, but EtF Ronnie stuff is hard simply because it's old, so every little bit helps. Question is, do you think that belongs here.

Now, in practice, I don't think any Escape the Fate and/or Falling In Reverse fans have ever seen my Neocities, because that isn't where they are. (and frankly, Ronnie fans seem to lack the reading comprehension to appreciate it. I might be the official FIR Loremaster, but I still dislike FIR fans since they are generally disgusting. Folks interested in the band who aren't "fans" enabling Ronnie, though, come hang.)
