Snowstorm Shut Down Our Stream
Last night’s snowstorm made streaming a challenge. We had brownouts, and one was so bad that it rebooted our computers. That was our sign to call it a night. Instead of fighting the storm, we spent the rest of the evening giving the pup pups some much-needed attention.
Waking Up to a Winter Wonderland
This morning, I stepped outside to a true winter wonderland. Everything was covered in a blanket of fluffy snow, making it look like a scene straight out of a fairy tale.
Unfortunately, the driveway is a mess again. It’ll be a few days before I can get it plowed. Thank God for 4-wheel drive—but knowing my luck, I’ll be the only person in town who gets stuck in their own driveway.
Training the Pups to Use Their Indoor Yard
The new indoor yard is still an adjustment for the pups. So far, they haven’t really used it. Little Man decided it was a great place to nap, turning it into a giant doggy bed instead! Training takes time, so we’ll keep working on it.
Tonight, Sasha and Rusty will both need their meds, so that’ll be on the list of things to take care of.
A Fun Unity Project: Coin Pusher Game for Twitch
I’m not sure how much progress I lost in Unity after the power issues, but honestly, I was already struggling with Unity’s physics engine. So, even if I lost the whole scene, it’s not a big deal.
The idea I was working on? A Twitch-integrated coin pusher machine. Instead of using real coins, viewers could interact using bits and channel points. Obviously, there wouldn’t be big cash payouts like real arcade versions, but a leaderboard system could make it fun.
Not sure if I can actually get it working, so don’t hold your breath—but it’s a cool programming challenge, and that’s what makes it fun!
