Stream is over. lemforum/Hopeless: Metal City Mayhem and Las Ranas Hermanas, both still unsolved. I showed some bugs in the reworking towards the scissors button. Lots of things to do.

The UI bugs from the previous stream (Sunday, May 21st) are now fixed.

For the next stream: I'm still not sure if the scissors button is really the best UI. We'll see. The main point of the stream is to test the scissors button myself more. Maybe the levels are getting too difficult for your entertainment, I can't promise anymore that I'll solve anything.

Stream is over. Recording will remain for 14 days at: https://www.twitch.tv/simonnaar

I spent another hour on Metal City Mayhem, haven't solved it. I think I've sunk 2-3 hours total into it so far, plus subconcious brainstorming between streams.

I solved Behind Bars in 1 hour and 20 minutes, minus a few side conversations with the stream chatters. Replay attached. I remember how I helped Proxima backroute-fix Behind Bars 8 (?) years ago. Since then, I've completely forgotten the solution. I re-solved it today from scratch.

Next, I think I'd like to work on alternate ideas for replay cancelling than the scissors button: More user options on how/when to cut or insert based on whether the tweaker is open or not. Maybe you always want to insert, or only when the tweaker is open, we'll have to see what good default options are. I'll post it all in the scissors button topic.

Congrats :thumbsup: Solution to Behind Bars is correct. I like the way you interpreted "behind bars" to refer to

...that had not been on my mind at all, but it fits perfectly!

I thought I'd let you know this is a thing, but it's up to you if it's worth the effort or not: apparently, if you make a highlight out of a VOD, the VOD will still disappear after 14 days but the highlight won't; assuming they haven't changed anything about it since I tried it and just didn't update the system to delete the old highlights, as far as I know there's nothing that stops you from making a highlight that's just the entire VOD.

From the 2023-05-24 stream, I've highlit:
User Interface Design Ramblings: Scissors Button, Replay Editing (5 minutes, twitch)

Instead of highlighting entire streams, I'd rather summarize and post the replays here. But it's not a dilemma. If you want, I can start highlighting entire solving sessions to subvert the 14-day purge. Ramond did that for Lovely through Daunting.

It's already too late but I would appreciate the saving of the whole thing as I didn't even know about this session until now.
