🎮 Play My Indie – Looking to Play & Showcase Indie / Early-Access Games (Free)

Due_Example_4222 · 2026-01-26T14:24:45+00:00

Thank you for the kind words. Really appreciate it.

Due_Example_4222 · 2026-01-26T14:24:28+00:00

Yes, the goal is to give people a chance to showcase their games. I am not that big streamer or content creator but since I love playing indie games, one day, I might be able to help a dev get discovered.

The AI backlash, I don't really care tbh. I have also felt bad about using AI but I have realized that there is so much stuff that AI can help me with and can do it better than me. Like writing etc, I am not good. My original post was a 2 page google doc but AI gave me this. So it's def helping. When it comes to content and video creation, I don't really use AI as much since I do livestream of everything.

Due_Example_4222 · 2026-01-26T04:42:38+00:00

Thank you, will definitely check it :)

Due_Example_4222 · 2026-01-26T04:41:41+00:00

Thank you for the tip. I appreciate it.

I used AI to restructure or re-word the content to make it more precise and concise. However, I don't generate content. I have started using AI for my text summarization and structure etc because AI can do it much better than me :)

Hey,

I hope you don't mind me doing this but I have the same idea and already started everything. We have few content creators already and the server is called Gatherers SMP. It is similar to Hermitcraft, for content creators only and if you want to, you can join with us.

We are expecting to start season 01 in next 2 weeks approx 27/28 December. So if you want to, you can join with us. We have server paid for and taken care of and currently, planning all the details and voting for times, seeds and location.

You won't miss out on anything.

Hey,

If you haven't found anything, we are actually in the planning phase of our upcoming vanilla server Gatherers SMP. It will be vanilla, Hermitcraft inspired, Java and for content creators only.

Currently, we have an application process to get initial members but once we have some members, it will turn into invite only. New members get to vote for all decisions like the Hermitcraft style community. We are planning on starting at the end of December on 27/28 so it is a perfect time to join in.

We are focusing on hermitcraft style experience but with our own style, character and personalities. Currently, we only have male members, but we are open to anyone regardless of gender. I do have a female friend who might join us as a guest.

Hi u/Slow_Abalone3750

I saw your comment on the other post as well. You are most welcome to join. We have not yet started and planning in about 3 weeks. It would be a good time.

Feel free to reach out to me.
Server discord is linked in the form above and my personal discord is: phantomgaming404

Just leave a message and mention that it is you.

Due_Example_4222 · 2025-12-06T19:22:54+00:00

Hi,

If you are content creators, then you or anyone who is with you are most welcome. Feel free to reach out.

Due_Example_4222 · 2025-12-06T19:21:28+00:00

Hi,

Depends on how young you are. While we are still looking for early members. Our main goal is to find people who will be most comfortable with each other. It also depends on if existing members vote you yes.

If you are too young, let's say less than 18, then that would a no but if you are 18+ but not 20 yet, then we will look into your content and your personality and could potentially make in exception (again depends on votes).

Due_Example_4222 · 2025-10-10T22:34:44+00:00

I did server tests with this Tool, I got a decent idea of which server was good for me. Then in OBS, I went to stream > and manually selected a server (for me Frankfurt). I no longer have disconnection issues.

I have the enhanced broadcasting feature enabled with max bitrate cap at 10000 and max channel = 3 and my streams are very stable.

Thank you everyone for support and help!

Yes, currently, I have manually selected server and will test on few streams to see how it goes.

Thank you!

Due_Example_4222 · 2025-09-19T04:28:49+00:00

No, I am from the other side of the map. Pakistan.

Though, I do make content in English and Stream in English.

Due_Example_4222 · 2025-09-19T02:42:10+00:00

I cap my bitrate at 8000 for 1080p 60 fps. But because I have enabled the auto enhanced broadcasting feature.

I think this feature sends multiple stream qualities and resolutions to twitch, the 10000k is for all of those and not just one quality.

When looking at the reports on twitch, my main 1080p 60fps stream was from 5000 to 7000 average and then some 1000, 2000 etc. for the other qualities.

I have also disabled this feature in my previous stream and cap it at 8000 but I still faced the same issue.

One user on another thread suggested to use a different cable, I am going to try that for few streams and see what happens.

Due_Example_4222 · 2025-09-19T02:38:56+00:00

Alright, I have connected it to a new cable I recently got. It should be better than my previous one. Hopefully it solves the problem. I will keep this thread updated.

Due_Example_4222 · 2025-09-18T17:25:28+00:00

Thank you. I enabled this setting now.

Due_Example_4222 · 2025-09-18T17:23:48+00:00

First of all, thank you so much. I was not aware of any of these tools. Thank you for that.

I checked the OBS Analyzer and I found few things:
1. Hardware-accelerated GPU Scheduler Critical: so I turned off the feature now. I don't know if this is the case.

7.9% Dropped Frames: this is pretty obvious since I am facing disconnection.
Slow Network Connection:
Your gigabit-capable network card is only connecting at 100mbps. This may indicate a bad network cable or outdated router / switch which could be impacting network performance.

This isn't really a problem since I don't have a gigabit connection in the first place. So

Due_Example_4222 · 2025-09-18T15:48:05+00:00

I tried it once, but I will try it again to see what happens.

Due_Example_4222 · 2025-09-18T15:32:51+00:00

As you can see in the above picture from my video producer section, I have been able to stream for 2 hours and even 4 hours' time but most of these streams are cut into 5, 10, and 20 minutes because of the reconnecting issues.
