AetherNightmare @aethernightmare.bsky.social · 1h"Just adblock-", also no. Hot take, but if you want videos other than rage and slop, you NEED to financially support creators. Either by whitelisting channels for ads, or donating directly. Blockers are great for security on sketchy sites, but they're also the DEATH of small 📺's. [Also read ALT]. 000
AetherNightmare @aethernightmare.bsky.social · 3h(*Note that if a video is copyright claimed, like my FF13 videos, we no longer have control over ads whatsoever though.) Here's a good video breaking down in detail what that looks like, and how to go about it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=JVp9...youtube.comYouTube's Automatic ads are ruining the platformYouTube video by Kruzadar Yapps 100
AetherNightmare @aethernightmare.bsky.social · 3hThe proliferation of ads on #YouTube lately isn't a platform thing, it's actually on the channel's end. And it's up to creators to go through all their content and manually choose better ad ratios for mid-rolls. We can't choose the ads, but we CAN* choose when they appear. [Read ALTs for details.] 100
AetherNightmare @aethernightmare.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Yeah, mine is on a 2021 firmware edition so...😿 Have been told old ones aren't playing nice with one of the new Microsoft updates.static.klipy.comEevee PokemonALT: Eevee Pokemon 100
AetherNightmare @aethernightmare.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Sorry, looked at the wrong thing. Looked at my build notes instead of my actual system. It's actually "ASUSTek PRIME Z590-P". 100
AetherNightmare @aethernightmare.bsky.social · 07/10/2026I appreciate the offer. Though thankfully 32GB or less flash drives aren't that expensive (only about $15-30 depending on type). I just need to go get one. I also have my most important VTuber model files up in a cloud just in case. I'll have to research if my model is easy to update. 210
AetherNightmare @aethernightmare.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Ooof. I'll start watching YouTube tutorials then. And buy a flash drive. I want to do a bunch of research first so I don't mess it up. Wish this process had been made a little more beginner friendly over all these years, like GPU's had. 🫣 I appreciate the advice though, even if I'm terrified of it.static.klipy.comNervous Red Panda CartoonALT: Nervous Red Panda Cartoon 111
AetherNightmare @aethernightmare.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Thanks. Another suggestion I was given was also updating motherboard bios, though admittedly I'm terrified to do so lol. As I've heard tales of that going very wrong, and really don't want to risk my PC at a time I don't have an easy ability to back everything up. 😣 110
AetherNightmare @aethernightmare.bsky.social · 07/10/2026I don't think sleep mode is enabled, though I do have my PC set to balanced. It's a desktop without a battery, so I never bothered to mess with it. 100
AetherNightmare @aethernightmare.bsky.social · 07/10/2026I've yet to replace the thermal paste in this PC, as temps never reported as being high. I have an AIO cooler at the ceiling of the case (along with two attached fans), as well as three regular fans in the front, and one fan in the back. Coolant temp in the pump reads at around 33°C. 100
AetherNightmare @aethernightmare.bsky.social · 07/10/2026I actually deliberately went lower to avoid the power unit burning the CPU issues from that time. Mine is an 11th gen Intel i7-11700K (3.6GHz, 8 cores, 16 processors). My temps also tend to sit around or under 60°C under load. 200
AetherNightmare @aethernightmare.bsky.social · 07/10/2026PC crash last time was a Clock_Watchdog_Timeout. Exact code 0x00000101 (0x000000000000000c, 0x0000000000000000, 0xffffe681ed051180, 0x0000000000000008). I wasn't really doing much any of these times though. Either playing a mild game, or watching a YT video. The code is for one I was idle and afk. 110
AetherNightmare @aethernightmare.bsky.social · 07/10/2026PC crashed again, but it didn't even generate a crash log this time. It just froze and made a buzzing noise through the mic until I manually hit the reset button. Lost about two hours of HeartGold grinding as a result. Thought updating fixed this, as it didn't happen for a while, but maybe not.static.klipy.comJigglypuff CryingALT: Jigglypuff Crying 110
AetherNightmare @aethernightmare.bsky.social · 05/10/2026So at best I could use Component output (720p), but most reputable cards have latency/sync issues. And my Composite/S-Video (480i) card could avoid latency, but...is VERY crunchy quality lmao. I used to run my Component card (Hauppauge 2GE) through my Elgato HD60 S, but that was its own jank. 000
AetherNightmare @aethernightmare.bsky.social · 05/10/2026ACIT is still a favorite game of mine too. TL;DR: PS3 has HDCP encryption that is meant to prevent the sharing of copyright movies, but also makes it impossible to record from HDMI output unless you have a device that decrypts the signal (which was also made illegal/hard to purchase in the States). 100
AetherNightmare @aethernightmare.bsky.social · 05/10/2026The Ratchet & Clank Future series can now supposedly run on RPCS3. I can potentially pick this LP series back up now after a 6 year hiatus, so long as my system is powerful enough to run it. I recorded TOD off of a physical PS3, but it was such a convoluted setup for not great video quality. 100

Reposted by AetherNightmareSocks the Macro Wolf Dad @socksthewolf.com · 26/09/2026Okay a tiny thread because people are going to freak out: This exploit in particular takes advantage of a special command that renders images (via attribute escape). If you have an overlay that processes images (most don't) then yes, this is your problem. Overlay must explicitly create img DOM. 10541383
AetherNightmare @aethernightmare.bsky.social · 20/09/2026Starting to have more frequent PC issues. It crashes about once a week now. This latest time when I walked away for a few minutes with nothing really even running (other than my browser just being open). Having a hard time diagnosing from the error code. Wish it would tell you the issue outright. 000
AetherNightmare @aethernightmare.bsky.social · 20/09/2026Please keep in mind I'm still re-editing videos from this region though, so the playlist will still have some gaps until then. But goal-wise, I still feel accomplished. Because behind the scenes I was the sickest I'd even been during this patch, so getting even just story done feels fulfilling. 002
AetherNightmare @aethernightmare.bsky.social · 20/09/2026Almost exactly two years later, and I've finally finished all of Natlan's MSQ. I've still got some world quests to go, and wish to backtrack to fully finish up the playlist, but burnout really hit me at the end. Even though I liked it way more than previous patches. www.youtube.com/playlist?lis... 100
AetherNightmare @aethernightmare.bsky.social · 18/09/2026Oh yeah, I also finished Resident Evil (2002) Remaster as both Jill and Chris in my own time. And I'm about half way though RE0. I also blasted through FF1: Pixel Remaster to 100% in about 12 hours on a night I wasn't feeling good. Though I prefer the GBA Dawn of Souls / PSP Anniversary editions. 000
AetherNightmare @aethernightmare.bsky.social · 18/09/2026There are so many new game demos I want to play. 🥲 Another Eden Begins, Dragon Quest Monsters: The Withered World, Final Fantasy: Resonance, Flamecraft (played this tabletop with friends), and so many older ones I've STILL yet to find time for too (like FF16, RE2, and Trails in the Sky). 000
AetherNightmare @aethernightmare.bsky.social · 10/09/2026Pretty sure Windows just crashed my PC in an attempt to install a security update. At least, I hope that's all it was. 000
AetherNightmare @aethernightmare.bsky.social · 09/09/2026Wait. Just had a thought. If they did all this in a UE5 style...uh....those "spiders" and the Shadow Temple stuff might look some kind of way. 😅 Anyways, I wonder if Link's outfit materials will change depending on where he gets it from? Like mermaid scales for the Zora, or gems for the Goron? 010
AetherNightmare @aethernightmare.bsky.social · 09/09/2026I'm kind of mixed on the OOT style presentation overall, but Link's outfit is probably meant to be made out of woven grass, vines, and leaves; as the kokiri wouldn't have easy access to cloth fabrics the way most hylians would. It's *supposed* to stand out that he grew up deep in a forest. 111
AetherNightmare @aethernightmare.bsky.social · 02/09/2026Was storming all morning and I had about 6 cups (1420ml) of vanilla yogurt to use up, so I baked three protein muffin loafs. One basic, a white chocolate, and a chocolate peanut butter. Normally I make these into muffins, but I couldn't be bothered. Probably won't make any for a while though lol. 000
AetherNightmare @aethernightmare.bsky.social · 30/08/2026My journey into 7.0 Snezhnaya begins!🩵🪆❄️ I'm not done with the other regions yet though, so I will be recording them alongside the new zone. It's a tad bonkers for me to organize too, so just check playlists to keep properly organized for each region. #GenshinImpact #LetsPlay youtu.be/F80aVa0ei-syoutu.beGenshin Impact ☆ Into the Wind, Into the Frigid NorthYouTube video by AetherNightmare 000
AetherNightmare @aethernightmare.bsky.social · 29/08/2026Beginning my first real journey into Persona 4 with Golden, and I'm going to see if I can finish it before the remake comes out (unlikely lmao, but I can still try). If you're down for a small town murder-mystery jprg, come join me on YouTube or Twitch! 📺👓💛 #Persona4 #VTuber youtu.be/HaRxS8W3G9Uyoutu.bePersona 4 Golden ☆ 1 ☆ A Small Town Mystery In InabaYouTube video by AetherNightmare 000
AetherNightmare @aethernightmare.bsky.social · 29/08/2026PC updated despite updates being turned off, and then I couldn't even get my second monitor to work without both powering down and unplugging everything. I had just finished editing a video, so I'm not sure if it was a GPU fart or what. 000
AetherNightmare @aethernightmare.bsky.social · 27/08/2026Genshin 7.0 is also out now, and the first timed story event drops tomorrow so...I should really get on that. I'm really torn on whether or not to use the VTuber model for everything yet though. I will for streams and most new LP's, but older, offline LP stuff might be voice-only for now. 000
AetherNightmare @aethernightmare.bsky.social · 27/08/2026I did end up finishing the main story scenario for Xenoblade as well. Though I'll be taking a break before I go into Future Connected or do the rest of the side quests, because I want to finish Persona 4 Golden before the remake comes out. I think my stream layout should be fixed now too. 100
AetherNightmare @aethernightmare.bsky.social · 27/08/2026Been having really bad health flares on top of internet outages this week, so I've been taking time to either rest, game for myself, or record offline HeartGold episodes. (Oh, and I forgot to mention, but I did turn off the AI setting for Twitch already when the change dropped, so no worries.) 100
AetherNightmare @aethernightmare.bsky.social · 22/08/2026I guess I can see what they were going for, even if they didn't stick the landing. Dante being firearm focused, and Lucia being melee (I didn't get to Trish, but I'm told she's classic DMC1). But they ran out of time in the dev cycle for story or puzzles. So I see the flaws, but also the intent. 000
AetherNightmare @aethernightmare.bsky.social · 22/08/2026Unpopular opinion, the coding in the game is actually pretty solid for the era it came out in, I didn't encounter glitches or anything. But the lack of any real story or narrative cohesion probably hurt it more than anything else. Because DMC1 was clunky too, and the atmosphere held it together. 110
AetherNightmare @aethernightmare.bsky.social · 22/08/2026My internet has been out since last night, so I haven't been able to stream or work on stuff. I did end up playing and finishing both main routes of Devil May Cry 2 in my own time though, for some reason. Idk, maybe I just wanted to play something on par with how crappy I've felt this week. 100
AetherNightmare @aethernightmare.bsky.social · 16/08/2026Probably not gonna stream this weekend, as I’ve been sick the past few days. I’m starting to finally recover, but I’ve pretty much been stuck in bed all week. I have so many grind projects finished and ready to go too. 😭static.klipy.comMeowth is Sick: Cold, Fever, and TiredALT: Meowth is Sick: Cold, Fever, and Tired 000
AetherNightmare @aethernightmare.bsky.social · 13/08/2026Idk, I just think it says a lot when every controller I own from NES to PS4 still functions, but Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox X controllers have all needed to be replaced almost annually. To the point I largely just stick with cheap 3rd party replacements anymore, because they have the same lifespan. 010
AetherNightmare @aethernightmare.bsky.social · 13/08/2026I've recently been playing with a broken Xbox One controller where the shock absorption is gone out of two buttons, and my wrist gets fatigued shockingly fast as a result. I'm also tired of replacing controllers roughly every year due to poor build quality, when my 360 controller lasted for 10. 110
AetherNightmare @aethernightmare.bsky.social · 13/08/2026I kind of worry about the proposed "buttonless" PS6 controller as well, because flat or touch surfaces repeatedly being pressed like that (or having to hold your thumb in complete suspension above the pad) can be painful or even damaging to wrist nerves. 110
AetherNightmare @aethernightmare.bsky.social · 07/08/2026The old playthroughs for Pokemon Let's Go, Eevee and Pokemon Shield are also now fully back online. 000
AetherNightmare @aethernightmare.bsky.social · 07/08/2026Forgot to update here, but I have also started a Johto-only challenge run of Pokemon HeartGold on my channel. This is also the first project I began while using a Vtubing avatar. www.youtube.com/playlist?lis... 100
AetherNightmare @aethernightmare.bsky.social · 07/08/2026I got through the lengthy fish tycoon event. Nine and a half hours later, for just this quest alone. It was a fun idea for an event, and while they gave us more days than usual to finish it...it was still waaaay too long for me. Especially as someone already behind. It also heavily spoiled the MSQ. 000
