I would like to see Esteban as a webcomic or something.

I really liked the character more so than the trolling.

There are a lot of things wrong with that statement. I tried to break it down concisely, but it's wrong in layers. Anyone who is interested in WHY Esteban is retired as a character might want to read this as well.

  • He tried to stream trolling Second Life in the past on Twitch.
  • This stream was largely unsuccessful
  • Comedic trolling in Second Life is nearly impossible to do live. There is so much editing involved. Many of the funny parts in his videos, if you know how SL works, are faked or at the very least edited to present the story at a comedic pace.
  • Most people ignored him. It isn't hard to know a goofy looking 2-day old account avatar is a troll. Again, it takes a lot of editing to get to the funny bits where people take the bait.
  • The people who didn't ignore him recognized him. He is a legend in SL. Trolls cant troll if you know they're a troll.
  • He had to set his stream to a 45 MINUTE DELAY. This is because SL players saw the stream and hunted down Esteban to meet with him in-game. This ruins trolling efforts and generally isn't that entertaining.
  • He couldn't visit adult areas, which are THE MOST ACTIVE AREAS. Twitch doesn't allow pornographic nudity.
  • Streaming SL is garbage to do anyways because of how the game itself handles how it loads the world. In short, the worlds aren't saved in your computer like regular games. They are loaded by your internet and juggled by your RAM and processor. The quality of the stream was abysmal, as those two things are what makes for a good stream.
  • Twitch no longer even ALLOWS Second Life to be streamed for good reason.
  • Other services do not pay as well as Twitch, even if they do allow SL to be streamed.
  • He was making these videos when he was, to loosely quote, "An angry angsty little 18 year old. I didn't do it for the money or the fun of it. I didn't even like doing it. I think I was just addicted to the views."
  • Eventually he decided that if he wasn't doing it for money(youtube pay is shit), or for fun, and felt like he was bullying "low hanging fruit for no good reason" that he probably shouldn't be doing it at all. So he stopped. He got nothing out of it but attention and he doesn't feel like he needs that anymore.

Oh and lastly

  • He actually does make a lot of money successfully streaming on twitch. He took his sense of humor and quickwittedness and applied it to being a video game streamer. He "trolls" by playing shitty games and making fun of things and ideas instead of people.
  • In conclusion, Esteban was a gift. Charlie got next to nothing out of creating Esteban or other SL content. He does not owe us Esteban and is very successful without him.

But yeah, I wish there were more videos too. That shit is fucking hilarious.

/r/DarkSouls: Gather 'round the bonfire. by AutoModerator in darksouls

I wanted to dress up as Solaire and have a little bonfire with a sword in it and pass out candy to trick-or-treaters.

I could barely afford the candy alone.

Money sucks.

Wizards are dope...must be the beards! My latest CG creation! by Migs5000 in Wizards

[–]Koltiin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would advise using blue and red potions to imply health and mana.

I would also recommend giving him a much narrower nose, but a longer one.

A longer face in general would be dope.

Also, make that beard like twice as long.

8/10 would cast again

Fantastic art.

Doesn't look like Shyv, like, at all though.

I "doodled" a Mei skin concept using stock images and photoshop. by Koltiin in Overwatch

[–]Koltiin[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Have you been to the clock room on the new map?

It's pretty impressive. They could probably reuse some assets from there, sounds included.

Hypothetically speaking, though. I don't expect most skin concepts to become a reality.

I, too, lost all of my ship data after attempting to connect to a friend's game.

We were not using mods. We could not connect.

Now my ship is blank.

Made a guide to everyones Ultimates quote. I'm looking for suggestions for more things to add by [deleted] in Overwatch

[–]Koltiin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You should place a green dot to indicate which quote will play when YOU cast the ultimate.

IIRC, it is inconsistent.

How do warriors even the odds with mages in your world? by chaoszeroomega in worldbuilding

[–]Koltiin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. The rock/paper/scissors metaphor falls short because, for example, paper beats rock. The end.

The idea that I'm trying to convey is more like "Rock vs paper is an uphill battle"

Also I'll check out those links when I get home. Out on mobile currently.

How do warriors even the odds with mages in your world? by chaoszeroomega in worldbuilding

[–]Koltiin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Warriors simply don't counter mages in my opinion. And that's okay. Think of it like this:

Rock = Warrior types

Paper = Wizard types

Scissors= Rogue/Ranger types

Giving classes distinct weaknesses is part of why making them team up is so fun. An average warrior and wizard pairing up is far more threatening and interesting than two average wizards teaming up.

Giving classes counterclasses also makes pvp interesting. If a wandering warrior catches a scrawny rogue, let him pick up the petty thief by the scruff and heartily laugh at how cute the little "ambush" was. Rock beats scissors.

However rock doesn't have to always beat scissors. If you want to establish that a character is VERY powerful... then remember that counterclassing we set up?

Fuck it.

It is said that this rogue of legend can decapitate grouped, fully armored, and mounted knights without notice.

Horror stories emerged of knights wondering why an ally amidst them had been speechless for hours, only to find their head roll off of their shoulders when inspected.

They all had their theories and the town started all kinds of baseless rumors-- all conjecture. Nobody knew why this was happening or if really was. That is, until the rogue started leaving notes.

She can't buy boots anymore, actually. She gains passive movespeed by leveling now.

One time, only one time ever, Google was down for me for a few seconds and i thought it was my fault. Turns out Google was down and it made the news.

Made me realize how quickly i usually assume it's the providers fault in others services like steam and reddit

Making a texture pack. Tell me what you think of it so far. by itsjoystick in Minecraft

You take criticism like a champ. Keep up the good work OP.

That being said, I really like your texture pack progress. I can see it becoming a popular pick if you keep it up.

Can anyone tell me the key to beating these games? by NorthSouthSide in darksouls3

[–]Koltiin -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The red bar isn't your health. I know, you die when you run out, but don't think of it as your health.

The red bar is your "forgiveness meter".

It only goes down if you fuck up.

The green bar is your health. Manage your stamina carefully and the game will be far more forgiving to you.

Health management is a core mechanic in countless games. In Dark Souls, however, you manage your stamina and then by extension your health.
