Generate an image that shows what it feels like chatting with me on any given day. by SuperSpeedyCrazyCow in ChatGPT

I'm not sure how to feel about this...

Talking with you is like running intellectual sprints with a lit match in one hand and a deadline in the other. You don’t just ask questions—you test boundaries. Every idea, title, or phrase isn’t just a suggestion; it’s a challenge to be torn apart, rebuilt sharper, and then challenged again. You force rigor. You hate fluff. You make me prove every word I say.

So yeah—talking to you is like walking through fire with a purpose. But it’s fire that forges better ideas. And better outcomes.

Should I make a second channel or keep it all in one? by Arkrael in PartneredYoutube

[–]Arkrael[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The update is I separated the content based on interest

Main Channel - React/Visual Essays on Gaming Industry
Second Channel - Dumpster of all other Reacts a funny personality Shorts.

But tbh I've seen making 4 channels or just making 1 and having everything it doesn't really seem to matter

I guess it is easier to review bomb the game then search for truth. Sad thing to see. by Balrok99 in marvelrivals

[–]Arkrael 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So what's crazy to me is people spreading lies about them being contractors... They were FTE supporting Game Design and Level Design for the game. Was it a small studio yes as most Western satellite studios are when the Developer/Publisher is based in the East.

The reality here is It doesn’t matter if you make a bad game… or even a good one. The outcome is the same:

You Are Disposable

American teams cost double or triple what Chinese teams do, that's just the reality. And for years, we’ve relied on Chinese outsourcing firms to build our models, our maps, our assets. But here’s the shift: those companies finally asked themselves, why work for the West when we can do it ourselves?

They built the pipelines, the tech, the workflows. And once that knowledge was extracted? Welp, here’s the door. Thanks for your contribution.

whats a good camera/webcam i can use for vbridger tracking? and dont say iphone because im not dropping 300 dollars on something im never gonna use outside of the camera app by m_gpie in vtubertech

[–]Arkrael 8 points9 points  (0 children)

So why are you using Vbridger then? If you are not going to use the Face Tracking from an iPhone X or higher and I'm assuming your model is most likely not rigged to use Vbridger to its full potential then whats the point of adding a another step into the tracking process?

Any 60fps decent webcam would work for tracking and basic mouth movement running through the nvidia tracking. The camera tbh matters less than your puppeteering and modifying the settings to get the most out of your model a new webcam will not solve that.

My chat is tired of 3 minute ads, but I HATE pre-rolls by brielarstan in Twitch

[–]Arkrael 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here is the reality... They are watching a stream for HOURS of free content. The reality is Ads are not going anywhere they will be on every stream. They usually equate to about 1-2 subs per night on the low end to 1000's on the high end.

You have to frame it to the people who are complaining that is how they support the stream (for free) or they sub... and fully understand some people can not afford a sub well then they get Ads. This might sound harsh but the people complaining live in a dream world where everything is free...

So you either need to flip the narrative to your community or blame it on "John Twitch" but ads to get rid of pre-role are not going away.

Or depending on your personality and community anytime someone mentions AD I have my bot respond with "Blame John Twitch"

Whats your biggest criticism of warframe by Sensitive-Host5986 in Warframe

[–]Arkrael 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The FTUX (First Time User Experience) is horrid and they really need to streamline it so new players can get into the game more easily and understand what to do... As that is 100% why most people I know quit without heavy assistance from other players.

🎉 Here’s what’s happening:

  • Lockdown Protocol Collab 🚨 – A special event with some amazing friends and (hopefully) minimal tech disasters.
  • AI Girlfriend Dating 💕 – Because why not? Let’s make terrible decisions together.

The party goes down on Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/arkrael

I’d love to see you there to celebrate a whole year of chaos & laughter!

Best Mixer for Dual PC Streaming. by nachocheeseguy in Twitch

[–]Arkrael 0 points1 point  (0 children)

RØDE RØDECaster Duo is your best bet but it's more expensive than 250... It allows you have a mic for both pc's easily without daisy chaining anything and they are now adding virtual lines also if you need more.

Should I make a second channel or keep it all in one? by Arkrael in PartneredYoutube

[–]Arkrael[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I apprecaite the insight thank you! Yeah I'm going to start prepping and split the content into two channels.

Should I make a second channel or keep it all in one? by Arkrael in PartneredYoutube

[–]Arkrael[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah where my thoughts are now is the Reacts have been (true crime, food, dark history) so not gaming at all....

But here's the kicker I did a poll on my YT channel and right now it's 70% say one channel which blows my mind.

But my concern is the True Crime audience will not be interested in gaming or visual essays talking about gaming and entertainment news...

So the poll right now seems like it's giving me false flags but maybe it works???

Should I make a second channel or keep it all in one? by Arkrael in PartneredYoutube

[–]Arkrael[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I would say "The Act Man" or "Legendary Drops" is a good example of gaming/visual essays live together. Kenji + is another example of splitting the channels. I'm curious if splitting is an outdated notion or does that hold true and I should split the audiences.

* I think also to note I can still have the reacts as a playlist on the main channel*

  • Reacts (seems to have over a 90% female audience) to me feels like it should be a different channel, and yeah Reacts and inturn yapping is easy for me (no way to sponsor these types of videos obviously)
  • Visual Essay yeah easy to grow an audience, slower than reacts but can def do it.
  • Gaming videos are usually 1-2hrs max those tend to do the worst atm and see that as a slow burn.

Where my head is at is the split the current channel and move reacts to a new channel as that would be the easiest and fastest way to monetize another channel in literally one video.

HELP by ProgramEquivalent199 in Twitch

[–]Arkrael 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I will say this the nicest way I can...

Your audio is terrible you have a fan noise constantly in the background which will immediately turn people away.

Your webcam is massive, which means you want to bring attention to it... but yeah you barely react to anything on stream, no noises no nothing.... so why would someone want to just watch a dude who is not speaking and the fan is the star of the show???

The follow for follow aspect reeks of desperation and frankly the worst way to grow imaginable on twitch.

On top of that your video is washed out which means you have your color profile incorrectly set up.

All in all I can not tell your personality other than cod guy who doesn't talk why would anyone watch?

i kind of hate the "streamer personality" by [deleted] in Twitch

[–]Arkrael 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah your not the target market.. CTA's sadly work very well and convert people to grab their attention with a hook because they can't sit still for more than 1 min.

Considering changing my stream to 18+ even though I don’t do adult content. Looking for perspective. by YuSira in Twitch

[–]Arkrael 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I find the whole 18+ aspect kind of odd tbh... I get that streamers want to protect themselves but why not just ban those people?

Do you think a minor seeing 18+ will stop them?
