  Something went very wrong with the export of that binge video. The timeline in DaVinci is synced up correctly, but the end result video isn't. So I'm re-rendering it and will upload a new version in the morning. I mean, why should anything work properly. That'd just take the fun out of everything.

  FIXED! A 4 hour mega-cut marathon of all my King's Quest videos for your binging pleasure — now with no sync issues! Plus: • Properly zoomed FMVs (KQ6 and KQ7) • Audio balancing • Pathetic e-begging from the originals removed • Deleted scen in KQ4 Binge here: https://youtu.be/_XxJrOeOBg4

  PeerTube version of the King's Quest mega-edit is coming but of course it's being a bitch about it, too. I guess we can add that onto the pile of things that have gone wrong for no discernible reasons recently.

  The binge-edit of my King's Quest videos is finally on PeerTube! https://spectra.video/w/oWE44tymtdYc6irVMEGCek

  Gotta be real, I was not expecting a Space Quest shoutout in a video about The Amazing Digital Circus, but here we are. https://youtu.be/kyQ39XVbFso?t=436 (timestamped for your convenience)

  Perhaps you would care for a 2½ hour about the arguably least-fondly-remembered — and, sadly, final — entry in the Gabriel Knight series? Well, OneShortEye has got you covered... extensively! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AgNKT5FQpWc

  Do we have any Atari ST experts in the house? I want to make a video on "every Space Quest on every system ever," and I want to talk to someone who can provide the most optimal ST experience for SQ1+2+3, as well as educate me on the system as a whole.

  Who would ever look at this notification and think, "Wow, that sounds absolutely fantastic"? Fuck all of the way off, Chrome. The only reason I still keep your ass around is because LibreWolf and Ironfox are sometimes TOO GOOD at keeping out intrusive bullshit. (Webdevs, get your shit together.)

  The last couple of streams I did, including tonight's stream with Earth Must Die and Foolish Mortals, are now on my 2nd channel. I will turn them into YouTube-friendly videos at some point but these are the full VODs: https://youtube.com/@sqhdump

  Gonna stream more of Foolish Mortals this evening because I got a new mic and I'm eager to see how it performs in action. Oh, and the game is alright, too, I guess. Usual places: twitch.tv/spacequesthistorian youtube.com/spacequesthistorian

  Why is Microsoft so spectacularly terrible at everything they do? My son and I can't go a week without one of our Microsoft account logins shitting the bed, and they blasted this shit INTO SPACE?! https://www.techradar.com/computing/software/i-have-two-microsoft-outlooks-and-neither-one-is-working-artemis-ii-astronauts-have-the-most-relatable-complaint

  I hereby retract my admiration for this project after @vga256 discovered it was most likely vibe-coded. https://dosgame.club/@sqhistorian/116529393993939036

  Did some video editing last night after a few weeks of almost complete burnout. It felt good to finally do something again. I should do more of that. Kinda feels like we might be back on track. 🤞

  Thanks, YouTube, I hate it.

  Here's a fun idea for a stream: "Gamedev Gore: My failed attempts at making games." I'll take you on a tour of the many prototypes and unfinished adventure games I've made over the years. Most of them with weird UIs and bad graphics. Look for a time later today.

• Post #2145720

  Going live now with GameDev Gore: My failed attempts at making adventure games. It's gonna be an exciting cavalcade of bad graphics and questionable interfaces. YT: https://youtube.com/spacequesthistorian Twitch: https://twitch.tv/spacequesthistorian

  The quest to upscale graphics from the ol' AGI adventure games (Space Quest I+II, King's Quest I+II+III, etc.) continues with impressive results: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z9Yp9S23ICo

  Doing a mid-day test stream of a jank-ass game I found in my Steam library. This is just a test of some mild equipment change so don't expect anything mindblowing. Twitch: twitch.tv/spacequesthistorian YT: youtube.com/spacequesthistorian

  Sorry for the repost, but (engage whiny mode) I spent a lot of time doing interviews with these developers and putting together a Making Of documentary, so... if you have any interest in 90s FMV games and the development process, please have a look at this video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xjaLilGWm_k

  Gonna monkey around a bit with Innocent Until Caught this evening. I'll try out the Amiga version and see if I can record & import the music from the PC version for... purposes. 😏 Join me and be frightfully bored. Twitch: twitch.tv/spacequesthistorian YouTube: youtube.com/spacequesthistorian

  TIL the iconic Tom screams from Tom & Jerry were done by William Hanna himself. As in, the one half of Hanna Barbera. https://youtu.be/Yqbl2QIYDPg

  Why are Minecraft's default keybinds so fucked up? Since when is Shift = crouch and Ctrl = run? Is this the mirror universe?
