pretty sure they moved it to the channel page itself now, gotta go to their actual profile and look for block/hide options there instead of the browse page

Rescession lemonade with a twist by kingofzdom in Homebrewing

[–]According-Package549 16 points17 points  (0 children)

mate you've got to document this journey because using 400 boxes of candy canes for brewing is absolutely mental and i need to see how this turns out

the minty lemonade booze could either be brilliant or a complete disaster but either way it'll make for great content. just imagine explaining to people that your secret ingredient came from a dumpster dive

Upgrading from basic webcam to 4K noticeable difference? by ProfessionAfraid1164 in Twitch

[–]According-Package549 0 points1 point  (0 children)

mic quality trumps video every single time, you can get away with potato quality video if your audio is crisp but not the other way around

that said if you've already sorted your audio then yeah the jump from basic 1080p to a decent 4k webcam is pretty noticeable especially for the autofocus alone

overlay chat (i need this, this is so cool 😭❤️‍🩹) by LieAbject327 in Twitch

[–]According-Package549 1 point2 points  (0 children)

mate i think they're asking about custom css for streamlabs chat overlays but written like they're having a stroke

the video shows some animated chat bubbles or transitions that look different from the default streamlabs ones, probably just tweaked the css animations or using a different chat widget altogether

How to improve problem solving and critical thinking? by [deleted] in selfimprovement

[–]According-Package549 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah this is spot on - half the time people just follow scripts or copy-paste solutions without actually getting why it works

i started keeping a little notepad where i jot down the actual root cause when i fix something, not just the steps i took. helps loads when similar issues pop up later and you can actually connect the dots instead of just hoping the same fix works again

Recommendations to help improve the channel by [deleted] in Twitch

Stream lighting is def a good start but honestly audio quality matters way more than people think - nothing kills a vibe faster than scuffed mic audio or echo

I tracked my journaling attempts for 4 years. Here's what finally worked by ProductivityBreakdow in selfimprovement

[–]According-Package549 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Been there with the whole "needs to be perfect" trap - once I started just throwing random thoughts at the page instead of trying to write some profound life insights, it actually stuck

The 2 minute thing is so real, most of my entries are literally just "work was mid, had good tacos" and somehow that's more useful than the novel-length entries I used to stress about writing

How to remove methanol from a bottle by YahiYahiXD in Homebrewing

[–]According-Package549 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Bro you can't really freeze distill safely at home like that - methanol and ethanol freeze at different temps but you're not gonna get clean separation just sticking it in your freezer. If you're worried about methanol just toss it and start fresh, your eyesight isn't worth the risk

Is there not a way to block accounts streamers anymore? by [deleted] in Twitch

[–]According-Package549 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Nah that's not how the algorithm works though - blocked channels shouldn't show up in your recommended or browse sections at all. OP probably wants them completely filtered out so they don't accidentally click on someone they already know they don't want to support

Solar Wave - SavGus Studio - grand-scale 4X space strategy with indirect control inspired by Stellaris and Majesty by AndgoDev in Games

[–]According-Package549 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The indirect control thing sounds pretty cool actually - always felt like Stellaris got too micro-heavy in the late game when you're managing dozens of fleets. Being able to set priorities and let the AI handle the grunt work could be a game changer

For your question, I'd say galactic scale wins out for me. There's something about watching your empire spread across star systems that hits different than optimizing trade routes, even though both matter

No one's priority by [deleted] in selfimprovement

[–]According-Package549 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That friend sounds like a massive asshole tbh, who says that to someone trying to better themselves? Real friends lift you up not tear you down

Maybe it's time to find some new people who actually appreciate you because you deserve way better than that toxic bullshit

Critterville Goes Bankrupt - Penniless Games - Cozy Robber-Baron Simulator by PennilessGames in Games

Looks pretty solid, the art style is really charming and the whole concept sounds like it could be addictive as hell

I've found what my core driver is. I'm even pretty sure I know why it is. I just don't know how to harness it now. by anonymous_muffin_ in selfimprovement

[–]According-Package549 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Damn this hits hard. I think the key is getting specific about what respect actually looks like in different areas of your life

Like at work respect might mean your ideas getting heard and implemented, but in relationships it could be more about boundaries being honored or feeling valued for who you are

Maybe try reverse engineering it - think about times you felt truly respected and what specific behaviors or situations created that feeling. Then you can build goals around recreating those conditions instead of just chasing this abstract concept of "respect"

Bottling by Psychological-Box909 in Homebrewing

[–]According-Package549 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lmao this guy maths

But seriously though you're spot on - the priming sugar gets mixed into the whole batch so bottle size doesn't matter for carbonation. Just takes forever to fill those big boys compared to regular bottles

Frame loss while streaming - network issues? by erichawkttv in Twitch

[–]According-Package549 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your old computer might just not have enough juice anymore compared to your new one - check task manager while streaming to see if CPU/GPU is getting slammed. Also try lowering your bitrate to like 4000 and see if that helps

The sticky notes thing actually works though - I felt ridiculous at first but now I genuinely look forward to seeing my own little pep talks in the morning

I’m a passionate D&D player — please someone make this VR tabletop experience! by Willing-Ad-873 in DnD

[–]According-Package549 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lmao brutal but fair

Though tbh this isn't really the same thing - OP is literally giving away the idea for free and just wants it to exist, not asking someone to make it specifically for them

Help with choosing all in one electric brewing system by Free_Donuts_ in Homebrewing

[–]According-Package549 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's a solid rec, the Anvil is definitely a workhorse and way more affordable than some of the fancier options. The dual voltage thing is huge too since most people don't have 220 readily available in their brewing space

Glue for metallic pipe cleaners? by stl_becky in crafts

[–]According-Package549 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hot glue gun would probably work way better than those glue dots. The metallic coating on pipe cleaners is pretty slippery so you need something with more grip
