To make it easier to follow along or get caught up, checkpoints of my scene file are be periodically saved and uploaded to a publicly accessible web directory[1].
Whenever a new scene file is shared, a link is posted in Twitch chat. You can use this link to download the file and open it in Houdini.
If you'd like to simplify this process, you can use a shelf tool[2] which calls a script when clicked on. In this case, fetch the most recently shared scene and merge it into your Houdini session.

Create the Shelf Tools Yourself
If you prefer a more hands on approach, the shelf can be added manually by right-clicking in any empty shelf area and clicking "New Tool...". This will raise a dialog window where the tool's name, label and icon can be defined[3].
The Python code used in these shelf tools can be found below, Python2 and Python3 are both supported.
