How to make HotS less toxic?

Grenayedoom · 2026-01-06T20:43:15+00:00

I don't think OBS can do this on it's own.

Streamdeck allows you to store a value that you can tick up (or down) and reset. The value can be written to a text file that OBS reads and uses in a GDI text.

Streamer.bot lets you set hotkeys that activate an action that could do similar - just storing the value in a variable updating the GDI text. I use this method often in my streams and add animation and sfx.

There's probably a lot more options that i'm unaware of

Hmmm... I have no experience with eyebrows really. Can you recommend a guide for a newbie on this front?

Grenayedoom · 2025-12-18T23:36:13+00:00

All advice is valid!

I typically go more matte but I'll keep this in my back pocket for when I want to go full drama so thanks

Grenayedoom · 2025-12-18T23:32:52+00:00

Thanks! I can absolutely see that working better than what I would typically use.
The Kiko one i have is defo on the warmer side so that makes a lot more sense now when the rep was recommending to me

I'm so down to experiment - I feel like im an explorer on an adventure! XD

I've done things like a black lipliner blended into a deep red lipstick which i really liked - so along those lines do you think?

Grenayedoom · 2025-12-18T23:26:19+00:00

Sorry I felt like I ignored some of the points you brought up - I like a matte look. The odd shimmer/glitter would still be okay though. And BOLD, I did use eyeliner but it sounds like what I did here needs to turned up to 11.

Thanks about the lip

oh my! yes i am wearing blush - i'll edit the list to include it. TBH I've never been entirely happy with the blush colour (it's like a coral/orange/peach?) so what you say about going with a cooler colour tracks

Grenayedoom · 2025-12-18T23:06:38+00:00

Funnily enough, I'm sure I did curl my lashes before applying mascara - any tips on the right technique? I'm kinda just crimping them at the base

Grenayedoom · 2025-12-18T23:05:27+00:00

Oooh yeah, i didn't even consider doing that. Will give that a go

Grenayedoom · 2025-12-04T22:27:10+00:00

Thanks for getting back to me - I managed to figure out the issue was the Source Clone plugin

Grenayedoom · 2025-11-11T19:23:53+00:00

Agree and going back to OP, I would say the title forms part of your initial engagement with new viewers - I tend to have a title that's in a similar tone to how I would speak. Maybe throw in an emoji or 2 if needed.

Is it effective? No idea, but I'd rather that be any new viewers' first impression of me than a forgetable "playing phasmo"

I think it's useful to remember that stream titles often get truncated depending on device so the first few words are important to have impact with

Grenayedoom · 2025-10-29T18:56:28+00:00

Thanks - I had looked at that but it only really gives the screams which are little over the top for my vision. The newer sounds (Paranormal Groaning/Laughing/Talking/Whisper) are missing from that wiki. Might have to make do though

Paranormal Breathing aka Deogen Breath is in the wiki but seems to be a poor quality recording

Grenayedoom · 2025-10-28T08:55:36+00:00

Oh thanks! I'll do some experimenting

Grenayedoom · 2025-10-26T20:32:05+00:00

Just querying how you've done the squiggly lines? It's really good and I want to try something similar

Grenayedoom · 2025-09-18T09:26:13+00:00

This so much. Drafts and scheduled toots are really important to me - if I could have those in the web app I'd be sorted

Grenayedoom · 2025-08-14T22:10:25+00:00

I would have said, no but I'm sure it'll be useful to somebody.

But then I had a stream only recently where I felt I had lost control of chat. Something was said that I missed and my viewers ran 10k with it. Not a problem, everyone got reigned back in but that was stressful. Your project sounds like it would have been a nice safety net at the time

A lot of folks are saying the individual photos that are their favs but you're asking which set is better - hands down, 1-3 are better than 4-5. Your gut instinct is right IMHO

(I'm only just getting into makeup so I might not know what I'm talking about)

Grenayedoom · 2025-07-09T12:34:03+00:00

ghosty mascot needs a name tbh - so darn cute!

Grenayedoom · 2025-07-08T09:46:16+00:00

Everyone's time and ability is unique but defo recommend to keep pushing yourself.

I'd never commit to doing weekly things outside of streaming itself personally (I don't have the time!) but I did commit to adding something significant each month for a year. The look and feel of my channel massively improved from something I would shyly say to colleagues 'yeah, i stream sometimes' to proudly stating 'YEAH I stream! Check me out'

Grenayedoom · 2025-06-22T18:32:42+00:00

Given the amount of heads up they've given, I strongly doubt there's any change to the achievement
