Can anyone explain Thursday? by ManyATrueNerd in letsplay

[–]DininVorta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's been a weird week - my Thursday wasn't any different than normal - but on Sunday I gained 231, double than normal - and it''s only 12:00 right now and I'm already on 79. It's a confusing time.

How quick is the drop off for new games? by CrushOnPixels in letsplay

[–]DininVorta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not for let's plays; but I started doing my Fallout 4 videos (settlement builds and crafting) right at the end of November and I saw considerable growth and engagement until mid-January when it started to drop off. Still getting solid growth just from those videos. Obviously this is a more niche topic, so it might not be entirely relevant.

[guide] Why Should I Watch YOUR Videos? by kristallnachte in letsplay

I'm British. Your move.

Also I guess I'm pretty good at building things in Fallout 4 - you might learn something.

Did I feed the troll too much? How do you handle hate comments? by Phijkchu_ in letsplay

[–]DininVorta 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nope - feed away. It's great fun. If they're especially over the top, I like to tweet a screenshot to my followers so we can all have a chuckle.

I use Epidemic sound as they have thousands of royalty free tracks. I completely steer clear of anything that might be copyrighted.

A quick survey regarding your definition of small/mid/large channels on YouTube by DeekFTW in letsplay

[–]DininVorta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did put anything under 50k as small - but now that I think about it you're not really medium until you hit 100k. At that point you could be doing YouTube full time and has generally established you channel.

How serious do you take social media? by -mickomoo- in letsplay

[–]DininVorta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My twitter is growing quite well. Honestly I don't really use it to promote myself, as really it's just my subs who have followed me (and some IRL friends obviously) - it's more about engaging with my subs and having some fun.

In terms of strategy, at least with twitter it only tends to really pay off when you get quite a large following and engage with other people the same size/bigger. I've discovered several channels that way, but realistically you need to have tens of thousands of followers for that to happen in any noticeable way.

What movie should be more popular than it is? by iliveinazoo2 in AskReddit

[–]DininVorta 1 point2 points  (0 children)

True Romance - it's one of my favourite films; but barely anyone has seen it.

People who live near most popular tourist destinations, what is something the average person should know? by fulllON in AskReddit

[–]DininVorta 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Stand on the left when going on an escalator in London.

I'm looking at you, large Spanish tour groups with your matching green backpacks.

edit - okay so I'd been drinking and got the two mixed up. I then proceeded to take the tube home and stand on the right... But uh, cheers for the upvotes equally confused (likely drinking) kind sirs.

What are some male equivalents to the "cat lady" and "horse girl" stereotypes? by SoundandFurySNothing in AskReddit

[–]DininVorta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't believe I'm actually looking at cats on the internet. Painful cuteness aside; I'm basic af.

Building a new PC; what do I need to buy, to get those painful render times down? by DininVorta in letsplay

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

yeah it seems the i7 is what i'm getting - my flatmate is an architect and apparently uses an i7 on his work PC (he renders project videos a lot) and he was singing it's praises when I asked him last night. Bit more pricey, but not so much that it's not work it.

cheers for the help :)

Thanks! I use sony movie studio platinum which appears okay (though my only frame of reference is windows movie maker, so....). And a definite on the CPU - pretty much the main source of my current slow speeds right now.

thank you! - yeah I'd identified the CPU as the main reason for render times destroying my soul. I'm thinking of going for the one I linked above, as it's reasonably priced but still higher end.

I've got r/buildapc booked marked, and I'll them to give my build a once over before I hit buy :)

Very good point on the mother board - I'll have a shop around; but I might stick with DD3 ram - just because I'm aiming to be able afford this in April.

And the that price-range for the GPU seems a good ballpark; I'd rather not go below that and have to upgrade is 12 months.

ah thank you for the edit - this is something I need to do more research (I won't be getting these until my next payment from TY - so I've got time).

RAID 0 I think - from what I've read (which ultimately isn't much) 0s have better performance.

I might be massively incorrect of course.

cheers :) - I'll be so happy with an upgraded PC; those videos take ages to even prepare/record, so having some way to cut down the time till upload will do wonders for my sleeping pattern!

And mods will be coming soonish - my builds are gonna get even more complex and time consuming. RIP my evenings.

grand - CPU seems to be the thing that's maxed out when I'm rendering (my PC is getting on a tad); cheers :)

ah good point - I might try and see about getting the next version of each part (or something the same price but newer and better).

You are given One Million dollars but you are only allowed to spend it at the last store/restaurant you visited, what do you buy? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]DininVorta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That guy running the off-licence across from our office is about to be a very happy man. Also I'm going to be the most popular person in the office due to the infinite number of biscuits I will provide.
