Streaming is Weird (Day 4399 - 12/10/21)

Previous Vlog (Day 4398) | Next Vlog (Day 4400)

Stephen starts the vlog off by introducing us to Poggy, a sock puppet. Back on Wednesday, on Episode 17 of Disc Only, the topic of VTubers came up and how expensive it is to have someone create a 3D model for your avatar as well as the rigging for the 3D model. Stephen mentioned that if he were ever to have a VTuber model, he would use a sock puppet. While on the show, Stephen asked Mallory that if she was still listening to the podcast, then she should make a sock puppet, so she did.

Later during the Disc Only podcast, the topic of Chuck E. Cheese's Twitch stream came up. Specifically a clip where the Chuck E. Chese mascot turns to the camera and says "poggers" after not saying anything. During Breakfast Stream yesterday, after the post screen, Stephen mimicked the viral clip in which he held up Poggy, said "Poggers", whimpered, and then cut the stream.

During the Skyrim stream tonight, Stephen brought Poggy onto the stream who up until this point was nameless. During some songs, Stephen did a duet with Poggy and eventually ended up naming him.

Stephen mentioned that the Skyrim stream tonight would be the last one in 2021 and he hopes to continue streaming the game in the future as there's more to do. He talks about how he ended the stream with Argyl and Faendal becoming Santa.

Stephen notes that the concept of streaming is a weird medium as it's live and audience interaction is an important part of it. He's fortunate that the audience he has is a good one and a funny one. He continues on to say it's been weird to do solo streams, and is glad that Mal will be returning next week.

Stephen goes on to say that he'll be eating some more of Debra's bean soup for dinner and that he's glad he didn't eat dinner before the stream as it would've upset his stomach.

Poggy ends the vlog by saying "poggers".
