In the bathroom, you stay there for 7-30 minutes.
Streaming for 5 minutes, taking a hasty break that lasts for double to quadruple the time you were streaming, rinsing, and repeating?
Not a good stream. And might actually be a TOS violation? Not sure, would need to check. But even if legal, it's at least inadvisable.
Plus, even if it wasn't enough on its own (and I'd argue it is), there's other reasons.
I'm actually really tired right now.
I don't know what I want to stream.
I don't want to figure out what to stream after hitting 'go live'.
I wasn't sure if I wanted to do tft as a stream given my week thusfar of hating on myself for playing tft instead of doing productive stuff.
I wasn't feeling up to it, both physically and mentally being exhausted.
Now granted.
All of these amount to little more than excuses.
But they do add up. When there's reason after reason, it becomes at least a little more understandable. It sucks. It's unfortunate. I'll hate myself tomorrow for skipping the stream today. (I guarantee it.) But, well.
It just.
It happens. Unfortunately.
That said, today wasn't entirely a wash! I did a ton of work on my Civ 3 mod! I got Spain and Portugal probably 95-100% completed, and that area for Carthage/Rome similarly 95-100% done. I added a few things that I had forgotten to take notes prior to, and even added something I just came up with today. (Two unique siege units, one of a kind, unbuildable, spawned with their civs.)
I still need to build up Africa, and the rest of Europe and beyond. I probably missed some rivers (and I definitely have done the inverse, of over-rivering areas due to the difficulty in making rivers flow as I intend them to) or irrigation or mining or roads that I'll need to double-check. But I am making good progress and unlike the previous scenarios I've worked on, it feels like I'm actually making something viable which could actually work!
Anyway, not going to bed quite yet (I want to get my gurgly-groans sorted before bed, both for quality of sleep and so that they don't return tomorrow), but will be going there soon.
