Slightly More Verbose FAQ
The ticker's a little glitchy, help!
Give it 5 seconds. It should be fine until the next time you refresh the page. I recommend using this site on Firefox for the optimal experience; but other browsers work, too.
I joined halfway in and all I'm seeing is a nonverbal guy do somersaults... what's the context?
I wanted to stream myself playing a video game I like. Yay! But, I personally despise panhandling for other people's attention without reciprocating in some way.
So, I spent the last two weeks refining my stream setup. What started as a simple stream UI design quickly snowballed into getting the copious rust off my web dev background.
And this brings us to today.. I hope you enjoyed watching my livestream. :-)
How was this made?
Almost everything you see here (and on-stream) has been made from scratch:
Brick and LED ticker textures? GIMP.
Awesome cardboard cut-outs of Max Payne 1 enemies? GIMP.
Website code? A lot of YouTube tutorials and some StackOverflow.
The only pre-fab components are visible on the livestream: the LiveSplit timer, its autosplitting software geared for Max Payne 1 (credit to Endurance), and a couple of StreamLabs/OBS plugins.
Also, the whole website is built on existing code for a pre-generated marquee I found on Reddit (credit to u/Renoized). It was initially a static <marquee> that served its purpose as an OBS browser source, but I kept adding onto it until it became this real-time, dynamic database-refreshing Frankenstein thing. With a GUI interface, of course.
