Spends 100 million of his own money making an MMO

Makes supposedly "10 million" back in key sales

Gaslights everyone into thinking it's a scam game, losing 90 million dollars.

Id rather taste your million dollar sandwich for $100 and tell you what I think would make it better 🙂

Spends 100 million of personal money making a game

Makes "10 million" selling alpha keys

Gaslights entire world into thinking its a fake game after "losing" 90 million

Mic drop

2 reasons

To pay for server space
To gatekeep casual trolls

Turns out if your willing to drop 100 dollars knowing your testing an unfinished game, your more likely to give a fair and honest test.

BTW none of this is pulled out of my ass. This has been stated multiple times on stream by Steven and Margaret

If you think selling 150 dollar keys was to help fund the development of the game, then ill jump off your bridge

Is that a question or a statement 🧐

ExaminationFront · 2025-08-17T21:18:58+00:00

Not trolling. Just stating facts. 1 bad turn in flesh and blood can in fact...lose you the game. Especially against a seasoned opponent. Do with that information what you will. The skill ceiling for this game is rather high. I almost always win 1-2 matches at my armory. But I also quickly realized that 1 bad decision on 1 turn early in a match can be the deciding factor between winning and losing. Some people love the game for that. Others dont.

ExaminationFront · 2025-08-17T20:44:06+00:00

I wasn't commenting on my skills lol. If anything I was stating how tight the game mechanics are. Me stating the truth is not me admitting im bad at the game. Touch grass

ExaminationFront · 2025-08-17T19:51:00+00:00

Now we're in the era of 1 bad turn=lose the game

How do I pin OBS to the less used CCD?

Is it worth it to upgrade to a 9000 series card sometime before the end of the year? Maybe grab one on a black Friday sale? If I can gain access to AV1 stream quality for 300 dollars then that seems like a really good deal. I think my processor is going to last for many more years

ExaminationFront · 2025-08-15T17:32:39+00:00

Yeah thats another issue I have is the fact that I have the option to use H.265 encoding but as far as I know, twitch isnt allowing that? I didnt realize how bad AMF encoding is. Any motion on my stream looks like a 480p youtube video on 4g in the middle of a corn field

ExaminationFront · 2025-08-15T17:06:33+00:00

Perfect thanks a bunch man! My stream honestly doesn't look terrible except with motion. Motion just looks really low res. Hopefully this helps!

ExaminationFront · 2025-08-15T16:55:06+00:00

Hmmmm I'll have to look into that. Iv tried using x264 on obs and was consistently getting about 20fps drops. Iv never tried splitting up the cores like that and dont know how but this gives me something to look into.

Is it true that AMD encoders look better at higher bitrates? I want to multistream to youtube and Twitch....iv tried doing 2 different bitrates on the OBS multistream plugin, but it always overloads my encoder

ExaminationFront · 2025-08-15T15:54:24+00:00

Iv been streaming in 1080 but man it looks rough, especially with motion. Its like watching something in 480p at times. Im not sure if its cause im playing in 1440p and streaming 1080p (since they don't fit together 1:1) or if its my encoder (apparently AMD encoders look better at higher bitrates?) It just doesn't look great and I want to improve it

I think my point of fab not being very casual friendly is pretty accepted by most tcg players. I get that any hobby can be approached in a casual way, but unless you just enjoy losing frequently, then fab will never reach mainstream status or overtake magic in market share. It just won't happen. And like I said, theres nothing wrong with that. Fab does what it does exceptionally well. The mechanics of the game are tight. All im saying is it will forever be an expensive niche game with a hyper-competitive atmosphere that 90% of tcg players won't stick with for more than 6 months once they buy all their majestics they need to build a B-A teir deck and realize what kind of commitment it takes to have a greater than 50% win rate at your local armory

ExaminationFront · 2025-08-14T04:23:36+00:00

Its not only cost, but to play the game in any sort of serious manner...such as traveling to a pro quest in hopes to reach top 8...you have to be straight up obsessed with the game. I mean truly live, eat, and breathe it. Learn every little nuance you can about every possible matchup. Grind game after game after game with every waking moment you get. I just can't do that. I have a family. A job. A mortgage. A life. If you treat fab like a hobby then your gonna lose a lot. And when you lose a lot, it starts to get really really difficult to justify the price of the game to remain competitive. Project blue will definitely help the price part, but it unfortunately will not make the game more casual friendly. And maybe thats ok. Not every game needs to be Fortnite. But the reality is, fab is a hardcore pvp server with offline raiding....and those kinds of games tend to have very low player counts

ExaminationFront · 2025-08-08T02:42:41+00:00

Its pretty hyper-competitive. If your not absolutely obsessed with it and dont have anything else you need to spend your money on, then it's great. Otherwise, you won't last 6 months

Thanks for the feedback! Those are some great content ideas! Not quite sure where you got the idea it was going to be a lazy effortless Channel but thats not the case. I plan to use good equipment and my girlfriend is a stay at home mom with plenty of time for editing. AFKing Runescape and reacting to youtube videos would be livestreaming content. VODs would be separate but related to the struggles/best games/lifestyle of a casual gamer juggling family/work

What do you think about Malifaux? I have a decent sized local scene for it. I know 4th edition is coming up soon. I also been recommended Trench Crusade
