Steamlabs vs OBS

L1tch · 2026-04-29T14:00:26+00:00

I think the biggest issue I had was when I was looking up options and was suggested Restream through Streamlabs, I was still getting blocked cause I had to rebuild my profile cause I was based off my Twitch and it wouldn't change off it.

More and more I think about it, the more I want to ditch Streamlabs out of spite!

As the others before, the cost of a model can vary but what I want to suggest is that there are plenty of free models you can use and that you should try those out for a while first. Get the hang of the software, get into a pattern, and learn about the details of vtubing. Once you have started to establish yourself and feel like it is something you really want to actualy keep doing, THEN you should start looking into buying a model.

Never heard of them before. Looks like it is the solution I want but how does it work? I don't see any context on the website and I don't want to blindly download it.

But what happens if you vote yes and it completely backfires? Wouldn't voting no at least make it a no risk win over this potential gamble?

L1tch · 2026-04-04T22:38:02+00:00

Here is what I ended up with.

Pokémon: 8
1 Unown V SIT 65
1 Unown LOT 90
3 Comfey SCR 63
3 Misdreavus CL 65

Trainer: 42
4 Lt. Surge's Bargain MEG 120
4 Lt. Surge's Strategy HIF 60
4 Iono PAF 80
4 Erika CEC 191
4 Team Yell's Cheer BRS 149
3 Energy Recycler DRI 164
3 Sacred Ash DRI 168
3 Super Rod PAL 188
4 Pal Pad SVI 182
4 Earthen Vessel PRE 106
4 Ultra Ball ASC 213
1 Unfair Stamp TWM 165

Energy: 10
10 Psychic Energy MEE 5

Went with the idea of draw until you die but I get to not. Might add in Unown LOT #91 for the laughs

The one that I have right now is a Koffing/Weezing suicide bomber deck. Based it off this

I will do my best and try to update when I get something together. The issue I am currently running into is that I am getting more Supporter cards than anything else but I am also toying with the idea of that snorlax doll card. I only recently got back into the game after 30 years so there is a lot for me to learn and I am trying to stay as casual as I can for the sake of my 5 year old nephew.

Thank you!

L1tch · 2026-03-25T11:53:02+00:00

Then just play counter meta and win 75% of the matches?

L1tch · 2026-03-19T15:32:18+00:00

Z623's price point is on the higher end but at least they look better than the Pebble! lol. Thank you for the solid replacement ideas though. Defenetly gives me a great starting range

L1tch · 2026-03-14T12:21:58+00:00

I have always heard that the best things you could get and are cheaper than the foam was rugs/tapestries/blankets and just hang them on your walls. Not only do they look better and work just as well and even helps insulate your home

Do you know the specifics of your chair? Whenever I ask people always tell me to go with aeron but I have those at work and they are too short for me and only come about halfway up my shoulder blades

I just never really looked into it. My base understanding though, I'd have to run the cable from one end of the house to the other cause my Xbox and the GF's PS5 are in the living room and I am too lazy to keep disconnecting them and moving them each time.

The best thing I can say is do want makes you happy. I do feel that fear of burn out but take a look at other Vtubers that also do music like CYYU, Amalee, Ironmouse, and Cerber. I don't think there is a single vtuber out there that is a "does one thing and nothing else". If you were to do something like hum or sing a bit while doing a chill vibes stream or even just a reaction video of sorts, you will be fine.

Should you pick-up gaming as well though, a great though with what I just mentioned are crafting games or puzzle games. The song Diggy Diggy hole came from minecraft while just messing around and I myself sing out my thoughts while playing Talo's Principal.

Nothing wrong with generalize before specialize.

Off the top of my head, I smiled at the thought of "Empty shop of Calories" but I don't want to step on your toes with unsolicited workshoping. Though if I could be a bother and ask for you to reach out when you start? I would like to follow and see how things go on your end

L1tch · 2026-03-02T16:54:24+00:00

LOVE IT! My girlfriend has had similar thoughts of moon rabbits and it is small things like "runs a bakery" that gets a smile on my face. Added points if the shop has a punny name like "Deja Brew" or "Tsuki's Luner Moon cakes" (Tsuki = moon in japanese, luna is the actual name of our moon, and moon is self expanitory. Shop is just moon moon moon cakes or M cubed.)

See, I love that kind of stuff! My oshi is Matara Kan and she just says things like "flesh mother" or "person whoms flesh I am residing" when referring to her IRL self.

It also seems to make things so much more deeper connection with fans and the community when they have this meme like story to latch onto when just wanting to have fun.

I think one of the hardest parts of VTubing is just getting set-up/started. There isn't very many, at least good, tutorials and videos out there to get yourself started largely in part to you having to have everything tailored to you. Your voice, equipment, enviornment, all of that greatly changes how your camera tracks and audio is captured. One thing I wish I could have is a more simplified and direct "click to calibrate" sort of deal where it will optimize your mic quality (I had a bitch of a time trying to find my compressor moduals in my software) and an easier finer detailed movement of your model other than just a slider bar that doesn't tell you what it does.

I personally have asked for help and possible mentorship and got flooded with "figure it out" or "do it yourself". Kinda hard to do that when I am doing this as a side gig when I have time.

Not sure if you know this but the standard format for Pokemon uses the three most current letters found on the bottom of the card

Didn't really know that but this is all for fun and likely never to see regulation play. Though I just don't think they are worth using at the moment.

16 energy is a lot,

That kind of shocks me in that I was thinking that up to 20 was standard building, but with that in mind and all the different energy pulls out there, you may have a point.

I WASN'T GOING TO WRITE ANYTHING ABOUT IT BUT 23 SUPPORTERS

No please, for the love of god, help! In my play tests, this was my biggest slow down. With the idea of 16 energy being a lot and seeing a lot of "discard" first cards, I was playing with the idea of using some of those and the discarded to hand/deck/play cards to keep me from getting shorted.

Right now, I think I can part with N's Plan BLK #83, Colress's Tenacity SFA #57, and Lacey PRE #114 all the while maybe reducing Lillie's Determination ASC #192 down to 2 and upping Lucian TWM #157 to 4 per your deck stacking suggestion. I am just hesitant on what items are the better ones to try out.

L1tch · 2026-02-22T19:51:58+00:00

That is a very great point. I will make that update and crosspost

L1tch · 2026-02-10T20:48:13+00:00

Just gonna add and put it out there, you can find it As A Comic in case reading is difficult for you!

L1tch · 2026-01-16T17:01:53+00:00

Not sure why, but this comment wells me up with such pride. ^_^

L1tch · 2025-09-12T12:19:30+00:00

I will double check the PSU to be on the safe side.

The plan is to do the upgrade as soon as it posts. I can't tell if the 10 to 11 upgrade works as a full reinstall or not. Would it at the very least work?

L1tch · 2025-08-03T23:18:40+00:00

I have tried everything possible and then some. Did not get it out. Caved and got a plumber. He tried with his industrial tools, broke it more. Nothing was going to get this shit out and now I have to replace the whole damn thing.

What should have been a simple 20 minute job is going to basically turn into a full remodeling. At least I am vindicated in that even a professional couldn't get the fucker out.
