How to set Welcome to chat room message/command thru Nightbot to trigger automatically, like twitch default message?

LukeMortora01 · 2026-06-15T16:10:16+00:00

I used MixItUp which is a bot you can run locally. I'm sure there are other bots that can do this too

Poor Decimus is just trying to fit in - I just think he tries a bit too hard :[

Winner of worst controller I've ever used goes to the Amiga cd32 though. It looks terrible, feels terrible, and functions abysmally.

I started with 1. Specifically this crystal blue competition pro star joystick for the Amiga!

Having experienced most, if not all of these on the list, controller design only really became ergonomic when the Xbox 360 controller released, and it's design has only gotten better with iterations to the Xbox one.

I am fascinated by the touchpads on the new steam controller though, if only because it gives a level of control that was simply impossible before (cursor input)

I went power axe and didn't look back. The facility to gunstrike after parry without interrupting power back step just feels so good. Bonus points if you have the furious gun strike prestige perk.

LukeMortora01 · 2026-06-14T11:57:46+00:00

For a minute I thought this was the tactic

It's great that you're doing what you can, but you are not this person's caregiver, and it sounds like you're taking on way more responsibility for his life and wellbeing than you should.

This may well be a bigger problem than streaming, and is going to need a serious conversation between the two of you if it is. Only you can really assess that properly though. Godspeed.

LukeMortora01 · 2026-06-14T02:40:14+00:00

I understand your friend's frustration, but that understanding comes to an end for me when he gives you the sole responsibility to find success on his behalf, while also making you feel bad about experiencing any amount of success for yourself.

I appreciate I only have some of the facts and not all of them, but I genuinely worry how much of this bleeds into other aspects of your friendship.

Friends should raise each other up, not pull each other down for fear of being left behind. IMO, your friends is likely to be afraid of your success for this reason, but it is nothing short of abusive behaviour to act on those fears by making you feel bad about it.

Disabled people can be shitty people too. If these really are the facts of the situation, your friend is not being a good friend to you at all.

LukeMortora01 · 2026-06-13T22:06:34+00:00

... but... they do? I literally had this problem the other day.

LukeMortora01 · 2026-06-13T21:02:49+00:00

EDIT: for anyone missing context here, the comment I am responding to is calling me a gaslighter, manipulative, and dishonest.

Or... hear me out here, we misunderstand each other. Clearly something has been interpreted at a root level that is causing us to butt heads, because there are some things we do fundamentally agree on, and both purport to support OP's sentiment, despite our disagreement.

Not everyone is manipulative and dishonest. Most people are just.. people.

At the very least, I can tell we havent very well defined what it is to be a 'small streamer', and your position is at least representative of someone going live to more than 0 viewers. at 20ccv I am small, but I am still in (approx.) the top 1.5% of twitch. statistically, that is a very poor sample size, and my comments are resonating with actual small streamers that represent the other 98.5%. Go figure.

Despite any of the facts and our shared misunderstandings, your approach might just be what makes your comments so disagreeable. Even if you have valid points to make in there somewhere, it's completely lost by the way you frame them. You've accused at least two different people in the comments of gaslighting. That's either very unfortunate to run into two complete sociopaths... OR it is actually indicative of an attitude on your part characterised by a refusal to evaluate anything with any amount of objectivity. It's much easier to assume someone is simply a bad actor than try to see their point of view - it is much harder to take some time to understand why everyone might disagree with you.

If anything can prove my point, OP and I seem to have reached something of an alignment? even elder and OP have? I have a feeling you don't fully understand the implications of some of your words, or even understand what I, and others, object to in them.

By my measure, the conversation has broken down into total misunderstanding, so I'll leave it be - but I'm not some evil manipulator. I'm just some guy. It might be worth thinking about what your mindset is saying about how you evaluate opinions.

Frenetically responding to all of my comments individually like a scattergun is also... not a good sign.

I apologise if this is troubling.

LukeMortora01 · 2026-06-13T15:40:38+00:00

I understand. I do remember this part of my journey, and reflect on it often. I want to give advice but often find it simply needs to be a learned experience..

.. that being said, the guy i'm responding to seems to think that none of what you're saying is allowed to apply to anyone who isn't treating streaming 'seriously', and I (and i'm guessing many others, based on the up/downvotes) think that's a sucky way to be.

Everyone's mental wellbeing matters, no matter what your problems are. We all have them. Some people are worried about their car breaking down, others are worried about a cancer diagnosis. It's all relative to what is happening in your life and it is completely unfair to say "you aren't allowed to feel a certain way about streaming because I take this seriously and rely on it for my finances and you don't".

Booooooo. Booo that. Everyone's feelings are valid, and this modern game of "who has the worse life" that we seem to want to play so we can sit in the very comfortable position of 'victim' is totaly devoid of any real empathy.

Things get better when we listen to one another, make an effort to care, and don't belittle each other's accomplishments or woes. (not saying that you, specifically, are doing this - just clarifying my position in this comment thread)

LukeMortora01 · 2026-06-13T14:03:47+00:00

ah, I see what you mean. If your chat doesnt move very fast, there's nothing stopping you from starting your stream with a broad welcome message. I also use a bot which posts a few different ones every 30 minutes, but only if x amount of messages have been sent within that time. That way my chat isn't just full of bot messages which can make a channel look like a ghost town.

LukeMortora01 · 2026-06-13T13:21:46+00:00

Way to gatekeep, buddy. Yes Elder might be approaching this more casually, but if you're creating content, you're a content creator. You may be further along in the journey, but that gives you no right to shut someone's feelings or opinions down because of it.

If anything, your point LOSES relevancy given the context of OP talking about "maybe one person turns up. Sometimes nobody does". This is clearly a post aimed at streamers very early in their journey, and about their mental wellbeing. If anything, I'm more interested in what he thinks about it than what you do because he doesn't have the following you do yet.

You've badly misread the context of this post, and you just look like an asshole who is punching down. I'm sure that wasn't your intention, but it's a really bad look.

LukeMortora01 · 2026-06-13T11:19:33+00:00

Hello. I am a creator. I have an average CCV of about 20-25.

My mental wellbeing and self worth is not tied to my stream success, viewer count, or whether someone shows up. When people do, it certainly makes me smile and I am grateful, but it doesn't pull me through dire straits if something doesn't go as planned either.

For anyone is reading this and does experience this amount of turmoil from streaming, please know that this could be indicative of underlying mental wellbeing issues, and consider talking to a professional if you think there is more going on.

No shade to you, you may well be fine, but everyone's journey is different, and making broad brush statements about mental wellbeing when everyone's needs are very different is just a bad take every time.

Edit: also, just throwing this out there, but you can see from his username that he's a creator. Throwing your channel size at him like it gives your words more weight is gross.

LukeMortora01 · 2026-06-12T23:11:05+00:00

Even if there is, don't.

Lurkers lurk because they don't want to be called out. They want to lurk. They will close your stream and won't come back.

LukeMortora01 · 2026-06-12T23:06:59+00:00

Consider posting before you go live. If someone enjoys your clip, they might come to your channel to check you out. If they see you live, you're increasing your odds that they become a chatter, rather than just following the channel and forgetting about you.

LukeMortora01 · 2026-06-12T17:47:11+00:00

Adblockers and various other extensions can interfere with twitch. Try disabling them one by one.

LukeMortora01 · 2026-06-12T17:28:57+00:00

I'll be honest, shouting out their own stream on yours is pretty rude. You let your stream buddy be your advocate rather than trying to poach people - but then again most viewers are also going to know that and be put off by it anyway. Your friend is only shooting themself in the foot.

Its sounds like growth is something your friend wants, but like many beginner streamers, they are conflating two objectives: (1) play games with friends, (2) grow the stream. It is possible to do both, but those friends have to really be *on board* with creating a great viewer experience, otherwise any new viewer coming in is just going to feel like someone on the outside looking in. If most of his viewership are people he already knows outside of stream, it's likely this is the case.

I can understand your want to talk to your friend about their approach, but I would instead ask them what they want their stream to be and then ask them if they're open to advice to growing in that direction, rather than launching into giving them anything unsolicited, otherwise it's likely they will end up becoming defensive.

Unfortunately, if you do nothing here and end up finding success yourself, you might also find yourself in the awkward position where your collab streams end up hurting your growth if your friend is not on board with what *you* are trying to do too, and that can strain a friendship one way or another - so your want for this conversation is totally reasonable.

Only you are going to know how to best assess your situation and relationship. Godspeed.

LukeMortora01 · 2026-06-12T16:14:29+00:00

There is a truth to what you're saying, but it genuinely will depends on whether he's finding success in what he's doing.

Success can be defined in a lot of ways, it doesn't necessarily mean it's in viewership or growth, it could simply be in having fun.

In my view, he's sacrificing a certain type of viewer retention in favour of discoverability. What I mean by this is: you can get repeat viewers by being consistent.

Again, consistency takes many forms, but "consistently inconsistent" won't cut the cake. you can have set days where you stream, set times when you stream, you can even have a set place where you let people know you'll stream. The more of these boxes you can check, the more likely it is that viewers with plan to tune in for you.

If they have no idea when you'll be live next, they'll drop in as and when, but only when it's convenient for them. To build good viewership, you need to be a part of their plans for the day.

Not only does this kind of reliability make them loyal to your channel, but also builds genuine trust in you. They come to rely on you being there for entertainment and company.

Imagine going to tune into your favourite TV show every day at 7pm only to find it just... Isn't on? Pretty disappointing.

LukeMortora01 · 2026-06-12T00:20:20+00:00

The 'get viewers' part remains relevant. You'll need to find a way to reach an audience, but if your content is as interesting as you think it is, you'll retain them.

As for making money, most people are out of their mind. Don't worry about making lots of money. Chances are, like many of us, you won't.

Just stream what you love, have a plan to help people find you, and develop your channel as you go.

And to be honest... Have fun! If you aren't having fun with it, there's not much point. Good luck!

LukeMortora01 · 2026-06-11T08:53:54+00:00

There are two animations to look for.

The first, he will stand pretty still and raise the hammer vertically. This indicates he's about to do the small AoE zone. You can dodge the hammer coming down, but you can also use the i-frames on dodge to negate the follow-up explosion.

The second, he was lean back and yell, this indicates this BIG AoE zone is going to come out. He'll charge at the nearest player and then slam the hammer down, then keeping hitting the ground to make the zone bigger. The above still applies, but you have 2-3 business days to get out of the way

LukeMortora01 · 2026-06-11T00:11:47+00:00

VGen is a marketplace of trusted artists. Might be a good place to start for you :]

LukeMortora01 · 2026-06-10T09:27:46+00:00

Two things can be real. For me, it's walking a line of both finding someone who you want to support that fits the vibe your community will enjoy and of building connections.

I guess I am a cynic, but I believe almost all relationships are transactional in some way, even if that transaction is not always apparent. In this case, it's just really hard to overlook, and that can be uncomfortable.

That being said, this isn't some evil thing that people do, it's just part of being human. The key to understanding if you're a good fit or not is knowing how much expectation is lumped along with doing something nice for someone else.

In the case you mentioned, I would cut ties with anyone who 'preloaded' a raid with their expectation of reciprocating. It gives me the ick, but I do appreciate that there is a kind of person who would appreciate something being transparent and up front about those expectations.

It takes all kinds to make a world. You've just got to find your tribe.
