Good morning Beehaw it is currently 5:30 am in the morning here in Australia Nov 9 2024.
It may not be morning where you are but it is always morning somewhere on Earth. Plus this chat is more of a vibe.
Have you been doing any hobbies lately or discovered a new tv show? Maybe you worked on something and want to share it or you recently found something you are passionate about?
I’ve been spending a lot more time outdoors, which is good for me. I’ve added a new hobby which, also, is good for me -> adult coloring.
I’ve been making YouTube videos/streaming in my spare time for the past year.
I feel like most of my stuff is not great, but I’ve been trying to take the approach of “doing anything is better than being a perfectionist and doing nothing”. So that’s been pretty fun. It’s cool when you do make something and can look back and say “I like that one!”
Please consider mirroring your content to peer tube or maybe even streaming there exclusively just to help break the grip of YouTube.
That is a good idea I did go to odysee for a little bit but deleted it after realizing it was full of fascists and crypto bros. Peertube sounds like a good alternative do you have any instances that you would recommend?
Nice my advice with youtube/streaming is just do what you enjoy as long as you like what you are doing. It is better to be passionate than to be a slave to the algorithm.
That makes sense! I feel like I’m always a bit caught in a catch 22 because I get that sweet, sweet dopamine hit when a video does well lol.
But yeah for the most part I’m just doing what I want to, and it’s sometimes working out and sometimes not.
For a while in September, I was on track to hit 2k subscribers in a year, and then suddenly I fell off. The algorithm/viewer are a mysterious beast haha. So I’ll keep going as long as I’m having fun
Understandable I think I am at 300 though I don’t let a number dictate what content I make. I actually have rules I have set for myself when making videos. Rule 1 do not ask for people to like or subscribe let them decide for themselves. Rule 2 If I got bored in the middle of making a video and decide its not worth it I will just not do the video since I only like working on stuff I enjoy regardless of the algorithm. Rule 3 is no video 10 minutes or over which was to prevent mid-roll ads though I found out recently its actually 8 minutes before they do those. So I have 1 or two videos at around 8 to 9 mins before I knew that. I actually was recording a minecraft video that was speed up of me just playing it. But I deleted it before uploading it because I realized it was kind of boring especially since I don’t speak in my videos so it would just be random minecraft gameplay.

Nothing too exciting. Mostly, just live streaming and gaming
I am looking forward to attend the NordicFuzzCon. Looking into it more I found that they host Furovision every year (2024) and even had an Opera in 2024. Also their parade looked really nice.
I’ve been listening to the same album sinve february this year. It’s great to have almost instant joy, available through my ears.
Saint Vincent.
Fast slow disco is probably her most approachable song :)
I’m digging the most recent album, all born screaming
I watched the series Interview with a Vampire. It has a nice gay relationship in it and it’s pretty well written.
Interesting I haven’t heard of that before. Does the person giving the interview ask what the vampire thinks about Garlic? Not sure how they are portrayed in this so for all I know they might like Garlic.
Yeah I can recommend it and it’s just two seasons so it’s doable.
Regarding the garlic, well, it doesn’t bother them one bit. But they don’t like to eat it because all human food tastes like soap or paper, they only like blood.
However there are people using garlic and crosses against vampires out of superstition. And some vampires seemed to be afraid of crosses, but only because of superstition on their own side.
