So here is the thing: most of you reading the forums here are aware of the fact that I started streaming 12 weeks ago, resurrecting the Hobby Hangout which was dear to more then only me it seems. At first I did it alone but thanks to @avernos I’m usually in good company. This not only helps the background to the minis you lot paint and I show (because Gerry is a fountain of knowledge when it comes to tiny fighting men) but also took the 30 minute show to a very respectable 2 hours (‘ish) mark.

I never thought of doing this for that long or with that intensity. It started as a way for me to interact with people on a hobby basis to get away from the stress of the current pandamic-panic that’s everywhere. And boy let me tell you did that work. In case you can’t see it on stream or VoD: I’m having a blast. Only a hard time showing it sometimes.

The current plan for me is to keep the Tuesday unofficial Hobby Hangout going for as long as people and I enjoy it. What I mentioned on the last uHH was that I’d might stream some X-Wing Solo Play with the new “Solo Play Alpha rules”. Unfortunately, after a test setup, that isn’t an option. Simply because my webcam is to old and shabby and the lighting in the kitchen or garage (the only places where I could set everything up) is so bad that the picture looks like somebody liked the lens. But I might do a play through and record it with my HD video camera and then only do a VoD on Twitch/YouTube. [No, using the video camera for streaming isn’t possible because I would need a USB capture card that works under Linux and I can’t afford such prices atm]

But only the uHH feels a bit… empty for a stream. Plus I need 3 more streams in a 30 day period to get to the affiliate level of twitch. Yes, I’m a sucker for Star Wars *and* achievements.  So I’m planning “things”. If nothing goes terribly wrong I will try something online this weekend. I don’t know when or how, but I will let you know here and over on the discord.

That all being said I’m always open for suggestions and ideas. Maybe you’ve had an idea or concept floating in your mind and want someone else to test it before you go all in on it? Maybe you want to have an online chat? Or simply some news from the world of all things tiny fighting men.

Anyhow, again, I thank all of you who watched my streams and said nice and not so nice things (ya cunts) and I’m hoping to see all of you next time online. Have a nice week and take care.
