Game Plans

Sundays:

A set of games I can play while watching the other streamers on the multistream and interacting with chat. Must fit the format of shorter (2-hour) streams.

 

  • Super Mario (current: Odyssey)

  • Picross S (when I need a break: S2)

  • Power Wash Simulator (between games)

Choice Games:

A set of games I really want to play, whether by express choice or a sense of obligation. Twitch viewers can populate this with a points redemption. Presently, I am finishing series that I started earlier and then gained further access to series entries after finishing the set.

This set is currently on weekdays.

 

  • The Legend of Zelda (current: The Wind Waker HD)

  • Pokemon
  • Wonder Boy
  • Xenoblade (on deck: X Definitive Edition)

Poll Games:

A set of games selected by viewer poll. I try to run entire series before moving to the next.

This set is currently on Saturdays.

 

  • Final Fantasy (current: Romancing SaGa 2)
  • Metroid (on deck: Zero Mission)

Event Games/Etc.:

Games and other streams voted on by the community for certain events. Most often, this is for annual events such as my Twitch Affiliate anniversary and my streaming anniversary, or as a break between finishing game series. There can be more of these if Twitch subscription milestones are hit.

 

  • Between Choice series: model building
  • First Saturday monthly: Hollow Knight Randomizer

 

ADDING THE HAND CRANK

 

UGears Marble Run Stepped Hoist - https://youtu.be/KvjPPq8m724

 

I didn't break anything!

 

As predicted at the start of the video, my fingers really hurt by the end. That's why I started using my pliers to push parts together. It's pretty easy to scar or break the wood when I do that, so I was super careful, but I shouldn't be doing that anyway. It was interesting to see instructions where it told you to pull out a box cutter. I don't have one, so I used the Exacto blade I have, which still isn't in a setup that's good for pressing into wood. But better than nothing. (As a note, I already know how that's going to be used, and it's not a spring. If UGears needs springs in a design, they give you metal ones.)

 

It's really coming together! But there's a lot of unanticipated resistance in the build. It might not exactly turn how they expect when it's done. Hopefully one of the larger gears is accessible so I can still get it moving without breaking the hand crank. Since we now have the hoist in one piece, I'm betting the rest is just the actual marble run. I wonder how many moving parts will be in that?
