I have been experimenting with a new set of tools and most of them are used for game broadcasting and streaming, an aspect of video game that I didn’t expect to get into until the COVIN-19 broke lose. The school quickly moved online and finally canceled all the in-person classes halfway through the midterm week. Since that Friday, I have been exploring my online identity in Zoom.
I have played with virtual background, Face Rig, Open Broadcasting Studio (OBS), Xsplit VCam, Snap camera, and Sparkocam. They are all very good at doing what they claimed to be doing, and I am intended to mix a couple of them together to create an ultimate Zoom experience to indulge myself in the days to come.
In order to put all the stuff in my apartment to work, I dug up my Cyber Trooper Twinsticks from SEGA Saturn. I removed the original control board and replaced it with a Revive board. I can now send the 12 digital inputs on the Twinsticks to my computer as keyboard keys.
I made a space flight simulation as the background and use the Twinsticks to pilot the spaceship. I wrote a simple script that every time when I use this background, it tells me how many days I have been #stayTheFuckHome. I decorate the interior differently depends on occasions.
I use my right panel for event posters.
