Welcome to another installment of "Let's Read Some $#17!" In sum, the purpose of these videos is to introduce educational resources regarding the creation of video games and to promote literacy! They go as follows: 1. Read the summary on the back of the book (if applicable). 2. Read the “Forward” and “Preface” (if applicable). 3. If there is no “Introduction,” read [part of] the first chapter. If this is something you're interested in, don't forget to hit the "Subscribe" button and the notification bell! Even though the purpose is education, I only read PORTIONS because of DMCA and Copyright. I read PORTIONS of 2 books: 1.

Welcome Gamers! I am MonriaTitans, and welcome to The Weekend Game Show, where, I would, normally, educate on and discuss different aspects of game development to show why video games can take years to make to prevent another Cyberpunk 2077 launch scenario, but, SAG-AFTRA approved the video game strike authorization, with 98.32% voting Yes, so I shall be switching to doing art streams instead. For more details, check out their Instagram post at the link below: https://www.instagram.com/p/CxowrMdueik/ And I would like to share today's Artist Shout-Out, but the artist asked me to delete it due to not authorizing it; I will have to find another one. Go check them out anyway. I provide Artist Shout-Outs to support human artists and combat AI art theft. What began as a fun activity, back in 2020, has become a mission. #createdontscrape In this stream, I participated in the #CanvaDesignChallenge: Design your own avatar. It was difficult until I dropped expectations and allowed it to look "ugly". I'm loving it! I love it! Thank you for watching! May every decision you make in the future be in the spirit of fairness and may the rest of your day NOT go to $#!7. — TO SUPPORT - All Links: https://monriatitans.carrd.co/ - Blog: https://opinionsandtruth.wordpress.com/ - Buy Me a Coffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/monriatitans - 15% of the proceeds go to Kids Need to Read! - Bookshop: https://bookshop.org/shop/monriatitans - Wishlist: https://throne.com/monriatitans -- Watch live at https://www.twitch.tv/monriatitans -- Watch live at https://www.twitch.tv/monriatitans

Come and join me for a chat! Today, I'll be providing some updates, both personal and content creation related. — Don't miss today's #artistshoutout!

Come and join me for another installment of "Let's Play Some $#!7"! I'm continuing to play "Octopath Traveler II" by @SquareEnix & ACQUIRE Corp.! — Don't miss today's #artistshoutout, which goes to Megan Thornton! Check out the original Artist Shout-Out post on Instagram! https://www.instagram.com/p/CvDPu5qvmTV/ — Edit: So, I ended up cutting this short because of tech issues piling up I didn't have the spoons to deal with. Still don't. Could they have been prevented? Yes, had I expected them. But still preventable. I didn't expect everything working perfectly two weeks ago to suddenly crumble. I didn't expect Streamlabs to f@ck with the sound settings and make it so I couldn't be heard. I didn't expect the Chromebook to suddenly disconnect from the wifi, preventing the close captions from working, which is what really did it. I don't talk about it as much as I should, but I want my streams to be as inclusive as possible, so, when the Chromebook stopped working, I said f@ck it. This is what I get for not having a backup plan. And, maybe, for not taking my Adderall.

This stream is to test my computer's multi-streaming capabilities.

This WAS a test. What I wanted to do was test multi-streaming to Twitch, YouTube & Facebook, but the latter two will take some figuring out. Ugh... — Don't miss today's #artistshoutout! — ### twitchstreamer #tipuly | !aso !socials #subofftwitch -- Watch live at https://www.twitch.tv/monriatitans

Having discovered why last stream crashed (issues with the ram), I was able to continue with Othercide by Lightbulb Crew. Fun fact, they liked the announcement Tweet! I was SO happy! -- Watch live at https://www.twitch.tv/monriatitans

This stream crashed due to, what I discovered later, a bad ram stick. Stick of ram? I don't know what it's called... the point is it crashed Streamlabs. I'm saving it because I was able to get through the Artist Shout-Out, so it counts. -- Watch live at https://www.twitch.tv/monriatitans

There were stream issues. I was doing an experiment that failed but was saved by the CC. I didn't want to have to use my headset during the stream, since I use a headset all day for work. The monitor picked up on my talking for the closed captioning, so I thought it would be an excellent alternative! Nope. I kept asking if people could hear me and it wasn't until after stream that I found out why I didn't get an answer; I didn't notice emote only was on. I have sery_bot and it turns on Emote Only chat when I'm off stream, and it's supposed to shut it off when I start streaming. It didn't this time. I'll have to look into why. And I didn't find out until after stream someone was trying to tell me through Discord because I don't get alerts from Discord while I'm streaming. So, the experiment failed, and I will have to go back to the headset. Sad face. Yay for the CC and the subtitles! The game was Othercide, by the way. -- Watch live at https://www.twitch.tv/monriatitans

Welcome Gamers! I am MonriaTitans, your host, and on The Weekend Game Show, I educate on and discuss different aspects of game development to show why video games can take years to make with the goal of preventing another Cyberpunk 2077 scenario. I also provide Artist Shout-Outs with the goal of supporting human artists to combat AI generators and their parasitic developers. What started out as something fun, has become a mission. To be clear, I don't have an issue with the AI generators themselves, only with how they are being constructed. In this video, I discuss updates to the content going forward and now I plan to spread the Artist Shout-Outs as I can on the internet to compact AI compilations. You also get a peek at a piece by Axsens towards the end... on accident... which is why I had to restrict this video to 18+. And, with that, we come to a close. Remember, we are gamers not because we don't have a life, but because we choose to have many. If anyone asks why you like video games so much, remind them "a game is a problem-solving activity approached with a playful attitude", quote by Jesse Schell. If anyone gives you shit for your interest, tell them 'you may not like video games, but what I learned from them is this; no enemies in front of you means you are going the wrong way.' Thank you for watching; this will be exported to YouTube shortly. May every decision you make in the future be in the spirit of fairness and may the rest of your day NOT go to shit. — The Artist Shout-Out for Sunday, January 1st, goes to Alexander Nanitchkov!
