Monthly Progress Report For My Twitch Channel, FuzzyJCats, Nov 25 Through Dec 24
Twitch Channel FuzzyJCats During this month of streaming, I continued to work on improving the usual chatting and gaming at the same time, and not using filler words, though I noticed I constantly slip into using a lot of filler words as they help to fill dead air. I was also trying to find out how we can tell if we're entertaining. Certainly watching your VoDs help you notice if you're articulate or not, if you move around too much such that you're off the facecam, but I still can't tell if my streams are entertaining. However, I started having an inkling as to what's entertaining to viewers this month. Since the entertainment is in real-time, and people are chatting, like with everything, people find you very interesting if you ask about them and talk about their issues. This is try-hard but cbenni.com can let you review your logs so you can remember what your viewers say, so when they show up the next time, you can ask them about that specific thing. For instance, if they mention that they're starting a new job, you can ask them how work is coming along, if they like their new boss, coworkers, and so on and so forth. So another try-hard method is after each stream, I have been more or less writing these topics to talk about when the viewer shows up next. Again, this is very try-hard, but it can help not only make your chat more entertaining for specific viewers, but with these topics on hand, it will help reduce dead air. Aside from the usual goal of chat and gaming ratio, working on dead air, and removing filler words while streaming, improvements to be made is to be more aware of my viewers so I can ask them about issues next stream.

To get a real feeling for what When We Dance is all about, read what inspired Director Charlie Piper to make the film. There is little I would be able to add to what he says. The part I will add is the actor Larry Cedar was nominated for Best Actor for the work he does in this emotional piece.
When We Dance was screened at the 2019 FilmQuest film festival (website) it was nominated for Best Actor (Larry Cedar) and Best Score.
Synopsis: On the night of his wife's funeral, a widower finds an old record of the song that was playing the night they first met. He plays the song and her ghost returns to him for a brief moment, causing him to question everything he believes in.
Charlie Pieper shared his inspiration for When We Dance along with his personal inspirations and what he is looking forward to.
What was the inspiration for When We Dance?
So last year I was at FilmQuest with my short horror film Malacostraca. While at the festival I met writer Kenny Wright and we hit it off. Afterwards he sent me a few of his scripts to consider and I just totally dug When We Dance. I'd never directed an emotional, bittersweet (well, tragic really) romance like this before. So, I thought it would be a fun directorial challenge and make for an unexpected and wildly different follow-up from my last short!
What project(s) do you have coming up you're excited about?
Malacostraca (My short from last year) will premiere online on Director's Notes in late November and then shortly thereafter be on the online horror channel Alter! On top of that short finally seeing the light of internet day so to say I am developing two new horror feature scripts. One is small in scope and one is rather large in scope! Both of which I hope to direct in the near future before all society collapses and the world burns.
What was your early inspiration for pursuing a career in film?
My parents were both theatre people, so I grew up in and around a creative atmosphere. Yet from an early age I veered slightly off that stage-bound course and became interested in film. My parents would often joke about this, i.e., 'Where did we go wrong? Our son wants to be behind the camera and not in front of it?'
What would be your dream project?
I've already written it. It is a feature drama/supernatural comedy of sorts called The Mongoose Vanishes! based off the 'true story' of Gef the talking mongoose spirit from the Isle of Man in the 1930s. Google 'Gef the mongoose' and prepare to be baffled!
What are some of your favorite pastimes when not working on a movie?
Being stressed out quietly while sitting in air-conditioned darkness.
What is one of your favorite movies and why?
My all-time favorite film is The Night of the Hunter and that's just because I have impeccable taste you see.

Game Design Activity Sessions – Part 1: Remodelling A Space War On A Blank Paper Sheet
When I was a child, there was a game we used to play during the free time in between classes. It doesn't have an official name, but my friends and I always called it "Space War". Basically, the game's main idea is:
1) in a regular blank paper trace a dividing line right in the middle of it;
2) Each player (and it's a two player game) draws 3 to 6 spaceships (represented by triangles) randomly on their side;
3) the oldest player starts: they must draw a small circle on their side, this is called a "shot";
4) on the next step, this player must fold the paper sheet;
5) after folding the paper the player must guess the place their opponent drew the "shot" and draw another small circle pressing the pen firmly on the area;
6) finally, the player must unfold the paper to check if the "shot" hit the target (the spaceship/triangle); then, it's the other player's turn to play. Important rule: one "shot" only hits a spaceship if it is completely inside the triangle area.
The diagram below shows, in images, the basic rules and game dynamics:
Ok! After trying this game and understanding it, your mission in this exercise is: trying to modify the basic gaming mechanics by adding power cards and dice, giving the ships new abilities and trying to create more uncertainty in a match. Think big and modify the space game with creativity (and try to think of a less stupid name for it).

Everyone knows about PUBG these days. PUBG is an online battle royale game. The developer of PUBG is Brendan Greene and it is published by PUBG Corporation. It is a survival game in which a maximum of 100 players can participate. The players will kill each other in a map until the last player remains alive and wins the match. The winner gets a "WINNER WINNER CHICKEN DINNER" slogan PUBG is available in platforms like Android, iOS, Windows, PS4, and Xbox One.
Gameplay of PUBG
Each match starts with players parachuting from a plane onto a selected map area. At present, there are 4 playable maps and these are Erangel, Sanhok, Miramar, and Vikendi. Once they land on one of the four maps from the sky, players search in houses, towns etc. to find many items and equipment including weapons, vehicles, and other surviving tools. Once a player is dead, his clothes, guns, ammo, etc can be looted by other players.
After every few minutes, the safe zone or playable area of the map begins to shrink down and the map becomes smaller and smaller enhancing the chances of an encounter of remaining players. If a player remains out of the safe zone, his life begins decreasing until his death.
During the game, a plane flies over various parts of the playable map and drop many necessary packages. These packages contain special and rare items which are very rare to find in the normal houses or towns. Players in greed of getting those items encounter their enemies and thus a war begins making more players end up their life.
The players keep fighting until the last player wins the match by defeating all other remaining players. The winner then earns a " WINNER WINNER CHICKEN DINNER" promotion. The player also earns some in-game currency with which they can buy accessories from the game store.
Others
Besides the 4 maps of PUBG as described above, it is rumored that PUBG will launch their fifth map Venezia in the global 0.12 or 0.13 version.
It is said that the developer of the map is James Coreman. He is an employee at the PUBG Corporation. It is also believed that the map has been inspired by a city in Venice, Italy. Venice is a city in Italy which is well known for its large number of canals, bridges and small islands.
At the risk of sounding twee or like Maria Bamford's imitation of a high maintenance customer, nevertheless, I feel compelled to write about the various Shea butter types as it can help anyone with dry skin - though if you suffer from moderate to severe eczema, consult your dermatologist. Growing up, I had extremely dry skin that during the winter months, my hands cracked with thin bleed lines. I wasn't surprised when I was diagnosed with eczema a couple of decades later. My dermatologist recommended the extremely cost-effective petroleum jelly, i.e. Vaseline which works very well for my eczema, which is mild. I'm not sure how effective it is for those with more severe forms of eczema. The only issue is that petroleum jelly feels horrible, so I dread taking a shower because it means putting on the Vaseline when I was initially compliant with my dermatologist's recommendation. Vaseline felt so bad that eventually I stopped using it. I'd rather deal with dry skin (only using Vaseline when I absolutely had to) then using it on a regular basis. Because of my non-compliance with Vaseline, I had an eczema flair. Because I didn't want to use Vaseline for the rest of my life, I researched the alternatives. 100% raw and organic African Shea butter kept coming up as the best alternative, given the fact that it has antioxidants and known for its remarkable moisturizing powers - but it has to be raw to keep its healing properties, noted the many sources. On Amazon, I was searching through raw organic Shea butters that are fair trade and has an expiration date, and I found two that met the description at the time. One of them, Amazon is no longer selling, so the second time, I bought the other brand. The type of Shea Butter I initially bought was West African Shea butter, imported from Ghana. Because it's raw, therefore no processing, it's "clumpy" but if you warm it in your hands, it melts though there may be some smaller chunks as you apply, which is no big deal. The feel is absolutely luxuriant, and my alligator skin felt almost like baby skin. My dermatologist even remarked how soft my skin was. In other words, the Western Shea butter works and feels better than Vaseline - not only does it feel better, but it feels wonderful. The only difference between the two is that after washing your hands 2 times you have to reapply the butter, whereas Vaseline, I only had to reapply after 4 hand washings, but that's not a problem at all. African Shea butter is the clear winner over petroleum jelly, at least for dry to very dry/mild eczematous skin. I can't speak for moderate to severe eczema. The issue with the West African Shea butter is that it has a rather strong odor, though once applied, the smell dissipates. However in time, it became unpleasant to me, that again, I was non-compliant. The first Shea butter expired (I probably only used it a dozen times), and same with the second Shea butter expiring, purely because of the smell. Albeit, after application, you don't smell it. As this second Shea butter expired as well, as usual in Amazon searches, I stumbled upon an East African Shea butter (imported from Uganda) that is also 100% raw, organic and fair trade, with expiration date. This company noted that Eastern Shea butter has more nutrients than its Western counterpart, and also has a lighter smell and better absorption. Upon receiving this new Eastern variant, they were absolutely right about the much lighter smell. The smell was significantly more pleasant than the stronger smelling butter. This new Shea butter still has the smoky, buttery smell to it, but it's very mild, and didn't make me gag. I would say it's not pleasant but not unpleasant so I have no hesitation in slathering it on. Further, the fragrance disappears after application. Upon application, the lovely East African Shea butter melted much easier with no clumps, and so much easier to apply as it absorbs much better than the Western variant. This is the first time that I no longer fear taking a shower (at risk of dry, itchy and painful skin) because this new Eastern Shea butter is so luxurious in feel and moisturizes phenomenally that I can take multiple showers a day and not be dry, as long as I apply this amazing butter. However, I'm not sure about the claims that East African Shea butter is more nutrient-rich than the West African type. All I know is that experiencing both, the worse smelling one moisturizes equally well as the better smelling Shea butter. In other words, they both work equally well in moisturizing. Both types are incredible, luxurious-feeling moisturizers - I just found the Eastern one more pleasant in smell and easier to apply. Conclusion: You can't go wrong with either Shea Butters - though the East African Shea Butter originating from Uganda smells and applies better than the West African Shea Butter from Ghana.

Brave Browser the Best privacy-focused Browser of 2019
Out of all the privacy-focused products and apps available on the market, Brave has been voted the best. Other winners of Product Hunt's Golden Kitty awards showed that there was a huge interest in privacy-enhancing products and apps such as chats, maps, and other collaboration tools.
An extremely productive year for Brave
Last year has been a pivotal one for the crypto industry, but few companies managed to see the kind of success Brave did. Almost every day of the year has been packed witch action, as the company managed to officially launch its browser, get its Basic Attention Token out, and onboard hundreds of thousands of verified publishers on its rewards platform.
Luckily, the effort Brave has been putting into its product hasn't gone unnoticed.
The company's revolutionary browser has been voted the best privacy-focused product of 2019, for which it received a Golden Kitty award. The awards, hosted by Product Hunt, were given to the most popular products across 23 different product categories.
"Our annual Golden Kitty awards celebrate all the great products that makers have launched throughout the year"
Brave's win is important for the company—with this year seeing the most user votes ever, it's a clear indicator of the browser's rapidly rising popularity.
Privacy and blockchain are the strongest forces in tech right now
If reaching 10 million monthly active users in December was Brave's crown achievement, then the Product Hunt award was the cherry on top.
The recognition Brave got from Product Hunt users shows that a market for privacy-focused apps is thriving. All of the apps and products that got a Golden Kitty award from Product Hunt users focused heavily on data protection. Everything from automatic investment apps and remote collaboration tools to smart home products emphasized their privacy.
AI and machine learning rose as another note-worthy trend, but blockchain seemed to be the most dominating force in app development. Blockchain-based messaging apps and maps were hugely popular with Product Hunt users, who seem to value innovation and security.
For those users, Brave is a perfect platform. The company's research and development team has recently debuted its privacy-preserving distributed VPN, which could potentially bring even more security to the user than its already existing Tor extension.
Brave's effort to revolutionize the advertising industry has also been recognized by some of the biggest names in publishing—major publications such as The Washington Post, The Guardian, NDTV, NPR, and Qz have all joined the platform. Some of the highest-ranking websites in the world, including Wikipedia, WikiHow, Vimeo, Internet Archive, and DuckDuckGo, are also among Brave's 390,000 verified publishers.
