I've really been looking forward to PowerWash 2, but I managed to lose track of the release and it snuck up on me!

It's presence means, ideally, a lot of it on stream for a bit!

Ok. So.
We are going to have to revisit the progress last time. It was still progress, just not in the direction I wanted.

The schedule disruption in the last stream is going to end up sticking, so the schedule must once more be revised!

We're going to (try) to get the 4p start time rolling again so that we can run long as needed.

It'll be a bit of a shorter stream, but we'll definitely make some progress today!

Definitely.

Sleepy!
We got some good work done with more performance tuning, but had to wrap up since my brain wasn't grasping where the hatchet was used to get the tiles working.
We'll return to that once I have the energy and find the flamethrower.

There's just going to be a lot of prep work.
