So lmdemasi kindly asked for loop-building sudoku puzzles that captured the particular struggle of online streaming when bugs keep getting in the way.
On today's episode:

Oh no! ThePedallingPianist has left the window open again and too many bugs have got into his room. Trying to coax the bugs out is futile and the only solution is to split his space with them, but he won't give up his precious items to the bugs. Help!

• Irregular 10-sudoku rules apply: place the digits 0 to 9 once each in every row, column and region.
• All bugs have different digits. 🐝🕷🐛🦋🦟🪰🐜🦂🦗🪲
• All items have different digits. 🚲🎹🍚🥫💻🥞🥃🍩🧁🧩
• The grid is a double-torus: the edges of the grid are identified as the coloring indicates (for example, r3c1 is considered orthogonally adjacent to r1c8). Regions wrap around the edges as indicated.
• Separating Loop:
  • Draw a single closed loop through cell centers that doesn't cross itself, only moves orthogonally, and goes through all cells once except the cells marked with items or bugs.
  • The loop must cut the double torus into two connected surfaces, one containing all bugs while the other contains all items: it should be possible to go between any pair of bugs/items through cell edges inside their surface.
  • A cell marked with an arrow has a digit that counts the number of contiguous cells, including itself, that are part of the loop in that direction until the loop turns.
  • Arrows are orientable along the loop (i.e. arrows see at least one loop cell besides themselves) and arrows of the same color have the same orientation along the loop.
• Adjacent digits along the loop must have a difference of at least 2.
• Digits joined by a white dot are consecutive.

Separating loop example: The red loop divides the double torus into two connected surfaces. Notice all marks of the same colour are connected to each other.
