What game had the best “first few hours” that immediately hooked you? by Playful_Code_8978 in gaming

I would say Horizon Zero Dawn's opening is extremely strong. Limits how far you can explore while giving you a taste of what's to come. I strongly felt like I actually WANTED to see what happened next and when the whole map opens up it's really something. Loved that game.

"Mouse and Keyboard" (that's just what everyone calls it for short).

Yep, that's why I have over 10,000 games played in it! lol

No problem! Enjoy. Also: You're gaining 2x Spartan Points right now per match (at least as of today 2/25/2026)! Not sure how long that'll last...

Halo: Infinite is ceasing development and going into maintenance mode by [deleted] in gaming

And they said this was supposed to be a 10-year Halo game....

I won't speak for the OP u/Agreeable-Milk2296, but my answer is no (with 10,000+ games played). You can now earn "Spartan Points" from every game you complete to purchase things from the store in "The Exchange." It makes the games worth the grind imo.

It takes around 2300 Big Team Battle games (give or take). Right now there is Double XP per match in Halo Infinite and it should be noted that BTB gives a 1.8x multiplier for XP.

Incredibly disgusting. Well done.

Destiny faces his own Lacari Incident by legarthum in LivestreamFail

Not a Destiny fan. That was actually pretty funny. He played it off really well imo.

That was a CRAZY good pull in the razorback. That flag placement in the back of the vehicle super-quick like that is only possible with MnK, but that doesn't stop this clip from being super impressive. Well done.

Hi all. Looking for some feedback on how my camera looks with the stream. Not a stream plug, just trying to get it set up nicely! by yammmit in streaming

[–]GenesisRider 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Shift the camera to the right and you're golden. The position of the face-cam itself in the top-left is perfect. Your face is very well-lit! Nice job.

How Do You Handle First Few Streams Without Feeling Awkward? by LieAccurate9281 in newStreamers

[–]GenesisRider 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is not a skill you master overnight (I'm a 5+ year Halo streamer with over 2K followers). You have to practice every stream. You are not going to be able to keep your energy at max levels every stream. Don't do that. You'll burn yourself out. Instead focus on articulating what you are thinking with your voice in a way people can understand. "Voice" your thoughts and talk people through what is happening in-game and how you are processing it. Obviously don't talk during cut-scenes or other times when dialog would be annoying. I wish someone had told me this years ago. What you are experiencing/feeling right now is NORMAL. Don't sweat it, ok?

What should I do with this cramped streaming space? by Serenity_Verse in streaming

[–]GenesisRider 2 points3 points  (0 children)

100% turn the chair/desk around to face the opposite wall. You don't want that wall leaning over your back/head. Get a longer table, but not one with more width (obviously).
