Production update 2024-11-19
Added 2024-11-19 23:55:35 +0000 UTCHello everyone!
Time is marching on and we are approaching the release date of the video. So, here's what I've been doing!
Progress has been mostly good. I am slightly behind schedule, but I also have a couple of days of leeway, so things are looking pretty alright. Here's the current outlook:
I'm about 33 minutes in, and the video is expected to last roughly 50 minutes. Here's where I am compared to the schedule:
The main issue I had is that after I got really sick, my voice never really came back. I've been having this lingering cough that still isn't completely gone. This complicated recording quite a lot, and I'm not super happy with how I sound at times.
The other issue I've been having is my Internet speed. The Internet connection here is provided via a mobile SIM connected router and the connection is spotty at best. 10-15 Mbps in the middle of the night and 2 Mbps at peak hours with huge amounts of packet loss. We spoke to our landlord about this earlier today. He's gonna hook us up with better Internet, but in that process, he made us take out the SIM card to send him a picture, and, well, that locked out the router. I can't find where the SIM card PIN was left (if it was left anywhere) so I'm out of Internet and I'm connected to my phone via hotspot for now. This could complicate things a lot if this situation isn't resolved soon.
Screenshots
Again, I'll go light on screenshots. First, because I'm on mobile data, and second, because as a history video, there are simply not as many in depth breakdowns.
Dancing splits (obviously you can't see that in a screenshot).
High quality capture.
One of the best tricks in speedrunning history.
Discussing level order.
The infamous Mech Fish Sniper Scope comparison. Sniper Scope lags the game so much that it makes that banana near impossible if you don't know you have to reduce lag. You can see on the left, it's just about to be beaten, and on the right, there's two more shots and waiting on an empty cycle, so it ends up failing despite being played relatively well.
That's it! I'll post again one last time before I release the video. I hope everyone is ready for it!
