Hi there!

I'm a Piplup or Empoleon of some sort. (I'll respond to both the English and Japanese names.)

I'm a novice homelab sysadmin, a Twitch affiliate, and a C# mod and stream tool developer. I much prefer the Rust programming language, though.

I like automating things to make my life easier. To that end, I'm someone who tries anything once, even if I learn I never want to use it again.

You're probably here because you're looking for something I've made. Here they are:

TheBlackParrot's stream overlays

These are "bridge" applications; they interface with Parrot's Now Playing overlay as an alternative to the default Spotify integration. I've created these for two clients:

Cider Bridge: for Cider, an alternative client for Apple Music
YTM Bridge: for the Pear Desktop client

Beat Saber mods

DumbRequestManager (fork): A RESTful local API server and firehose websocket, meant for external streaming bot software to handle queue management.

If you need support for any of these, my stream/support server is linked in my Twitch channel.
If you think any of the things I make are at all useful, feel free to buy me a coffee!
