Channel Update 3.10

The one that got out of hand

It’s been ten months since the last major update to the stream and now that we’re halfway into Year 2, it was well past time to make changes that are more substantial than “Here are more meme scenes”. The goal with this update is to address a significant portion of technical debt that’s been accumulating over the past two years by addressing long-standing issues and limitations with the way that streams are currently run.

In rectifying these issues, it’ll allow for a much more streamlined setup that’ll require less overhead to run the stream and make it easier to document individual processes for future reference while leaving enough room for new software & tools to make running stream along with [REDACTED] much less convoluted.
