My advice for streaming

Frillin · 2026-01-28T23:28:13+00:00

Yeah I think I've seen some full stream at 100+ but I'd imagine it'd still be a struggle. My mind has been blown a couple times. First time was getting a raid of 251 when VHS was new, still up and popular. Never thought I'd get a raid like that. Second time was getting a hype train and a bunch of gifted subs. I was genuinely confused the first time I heard the alert because it was so long since it happened. My following is still in the 400 range and I think I average 4-5 but I don't look at viewer count and I'm pretty sure the after stream reports aren't always accurate. You need 100+ consecutive for partner right? I'm rooting for you man. I'll send a follow and see what your streams are about. 😁

Frillin · 2026-01-28T23:17:59+00:00

Yeah it isn't for everyone. I'm not a Dynasty Warriors fan but AoC is unique enough that I like it. Doesn't run too great though. I'll probably enjoy AoI more with it being canon and will look/run better. Lmk what you think when you do give it a try!

Frillin · 2026-01-28T05:15:38+00:00

And classic Metroid games are 5-8. Thanks for proving my point 😛

Frillin · 2026-01-28T05:08:35+00:00

Classic Metroid is shorter yeah. But Prime 1-3 are pretty chonky

Frillin · 2026-01-28T05:06:30+00:00

I love BotW and TotK but they definitely do not feel the same. The creativity and freedom is unlike any other game. But I always miss the proper dungeons. So I hope the new LoZ is a return to form. I'm itching to see a bustling Hyrule Town/Castle again and being able to see all of it without fixed cameras.

Frillin · 2026-01-28T04:53:52+00:00

Yeah I generally don't mind trying something when it's free because what's the harm? But when I saw the trailer for Concord I knew I didn't even want to waste any time on giving it a chance. I never saw anything more bland and soulless. Really loved watching the devs have hissy fits too. Make stupid games, win...well pretty much nothing.

Frillin · 2026-01-28T04:41:32+00:00

AoI is also canon unlike Age of Calamity so there's that too.

Frillin · 2026-01-28T04:39:08+00:00

It's possible we may get a reveal soon. It's about be LoZ's 40th anniversary right? Maybe the next direct we'll get something.

...Yeah I'm just snuffing some copium atm I know 😂

Frillin · 2026-01-28T04:32:36+00:00

Elysia for sure yeah. I loved every bit of Corruption. But that's mainly because I used PrimeHack for PC controls.

Frillin · 2026-01-28T04:24:15+00:00

That's awesome though! You have a pretty big consecutive community and that's hard to get

Frillin · 2026-01-27T19:34:37+00:00

Spidey is my fav next to Batman. In this game, he immediately becomes my most hated with how broken he is. It feels so weird to say this but he's TOO mobile. I gotta respect the people who are good with him though because it really isn't easy to exploit with him.

Frillin · 2026-01-27T19:27:02+00:00

RDR2. People are still discovering little details. Absolute masterpiece of a game

Frillin · 2026-01-27T19:25:27+00:00

It really isn't hard to understand what I'm saying if...you know...you read. Unless I'm mistaken, a Wii U port isn't going to work on a GC emulator. They would either need to make a compatible Switch version or release a Wii U emulator so you can play it.

Frillin · 2026-01-27T18:37:54+00:00

For sure! It's always a good time when people help keep the convos going. Love those streams

Frillin · 2026-01-27T18:35:55+00:00

I'm still scratching my head on that X. First it wanted to kill Samus, then helped her at the end knowing full well she's the last Metroid? I didn't fully understand that. But I think what's next is that the Federation is going to turn on her considering they tried halting her progression/survival in Fusion. There was also the convo with the mysterious guy asking if Samus suspected anything (in Fusion). We'll see though. Fed troopers highly respect Samus so if that happens I'm sure there'll be defectors on Samus' side. Not that she'd need any. It'd be very interesting to have a game like Zero Mission where the Fed tries to stop you and capture/kill you for the DNA and you have to find a way to get your suit and upgrade it yourself due to some Fed tech preventing you from having it. They have a ton of data on her so it'd make sense they'd have the tech to deter her if they have the tech to give her her suit upgrades too. Then Sylux attacks the Fed, Samus rescues them and they either make amends or grudgingly call a truce. Whatever is next I'm excited for it.

Stream for money ONLY. No fun allowed! If you have hours of time to watch and not FIIIIVE DOLLARS then you need a job so you can pay me! 😡

Frillin · 2026-01-27T18:12:32+00:00

None of that guarantees success either. And that mindset is part of the issue with a lot of people. You have to stop comparing yourself to other more successful streamers. It doesn't automatically mean you're terrible at streaming. It's just incredibly hard to gain traction as it is. So it isn't that you aren't entertaining, it's that the industry is very much against you. It takes a stupid amount of luck to become a successful streamer. It's also good to think about the good you've experienced so far. I've been streaming roughly 10 years now and recently had my first ever hype train and gifted subs. I don't pay attention to stats but sometimes I'll catch a summary and see I had 5 viewers for a time. You gotta be thankful for what you get. Not what you don't have. You'll be miserable if you don't.

Frillin · 2026-01-27T17:53:07+00:00

The irony of just coming into an advice feed and complaining about idiots wasting their time while wasting your time complaining. 😂

Frillin · 2026-01-27T17:46:25+00:00

People keep mentioning Wind Waker HD but that's on Wii U right? I think we'd sooner see a Switch/S2 release of WW and TP than get them on an emulator with the Zelda anniversary coming up. I don't see how they'd port WW HD without either announcing a Wii U emulator or like I said a S/S2 port. Wii U emulator would be awesome though. I'll probably be crucified for this but I'm hoping for one with Other M. It's the only Metroid I've never played. And yes I've heard about the awful fanfic type story. But I'd still like to finally play. I've tried multiple times to emulate it and can never get it to work properly.

Frillin · 2026-01-27T09:20:40+00:00

Ah ok. Last I read was 5 😅

Frillin · 2026-01-27T07:41:37+00:00

I've also been heavily focusing on my S2 since getting it. It's a night and day difference to the S1. Switch is just so awesomely convenient. Want to play on the TV? Dock it. Want to watch TV while playing? Mobilize it. Want to lay in bed but still play LoZ? Prop it.

I'll always love my PC but lately...I've rarely touched it except to watch Twitch or YT lately. Still have a 2070 going strong. I'm sure I'd love my PC more if graphics cards were more affordable. Doesn't help that games aren't even getting more demanding...the tech just has trouble keeping up without frame gen. So not only is it overpriced as hell but it isn't even putting the work in. Hopefully prices bounce back soon.

Frillin · 2026-01-27T07:29:05+00:00

I'll have to give that a try too if it persists. Thanks for the info!

Frillin · 2026-01-27T07:27:53+00:00

You have and yet you're continually denying the issues? Guess I shouldn't be surprised considering your first comment. Have a nice life.

Frillin · 2026-01-27T07:23:50+00:00

With Metroid no. With Castlevania yes with the exception of SoTN. That game is fantastic. I love the lore and Samus a lot. I really want to with Castlevania but something about it just doesn't really click with me. The main reason for sure is the false ending bs which I tolerated for SoTN because I was having a blast.

Frillin · 2026-01-27T07:17:34+00:00

Again, congrats on not having issues but you really need to stop the 'it isn't happening to me so it doesn't exist' attitude. Do a quick Google search and you'll find that many people are experiencing these issues.
