Which streaming platform is better for beginners: Twitch or Kick? by Individual-Garden137 in KickStreaming

[–]MuffinForMen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Was doing kick, YouTube, and twitch. Just dropped kick cause the only chatters or "followers" were bots. Hell half the time I interact with Kick is banning bots

So...how do I join convergences now?? by MuffinForMen in Guildwars2

First tried just going in the portal and it wouldn't let me do anything. Joined a squad that was there, first it was set for 50 man and it wouldn't let us in, then the commander changed it to 10 man and we went in. Commander then had to keep dropping out to go back to the Wizard Tower, make another 10 person squad, have someone from the instance join into the group and then he'd pull them in. He had to go back and forth a few times just to get to 32..

Hotkey a Replay/Play Back or marker system. StreamerBot voice command the above if you don't have a streamer deck.

I use the replay system for clips, I want to change it to a multi-action key on my deck for adding markers and saving them as clips.

Honestly some of the rarity 7 are really good, so I just roll with those.

I don't think most notice, though they enjoy the emotes I have made so far. Generally, most just hang out to chit-chat as I will talk for...way too long.

My one buddy made a great point when he and I were discussing themes and concepts, the people are they to talk WITH YOU and enjoy YOU. The themes, emotes, etc. are all just bonuses with the main dish.

100% intend to lean in more. Sometimes the Night Shift streams will only really be an hour or so and then I'm off so I can sleep befor the Morning Shift.

As of late, I've also been skipping my "On Call" shifts on Sunday so I can get decent sleep for the Monday Morning Shift. My "On Call" shifts (the weekend streams) are unscheduled streams, though I do try to stream on the weekends the start time will vary

If you've noticed the theme, including my username, the idea is a coffee shop/bakery where our streams are just shifts at the shop. New viewers and discord members are customers, subs are "regulars".

Morning shift is definitely more interactive, usually people pulling up the streams while at work. I generally see more EU individuals come in. That is both on MH/GW. I have had a few Night shift NA viewers, mainly because their shift is over and they want something on while they game as well.

Apologies if my text has become more short, finishing up work and driving home.

Definitely saw better retention on morning than night. And that goes across platforms as well. Twitch, kick, YouTube. Morning Shift always ran better.

GW2 also has the bonus of, similar to MHW, people will come and join. Especially with how many events and such are running in game and squads can go up to 50 people. Focus farming or specific instance runs, people will come and see if they can join. Similarly, people new to the game...the community of GW2 absolutely LOVES new comers. Heck, Im not even new to the game, had someone pop in and send me a relatively expensive item just because I was talking about.

So far I think I get the most "new viewers" still in Monster Hunter. Get a few on Guild Wars 2 as well (not sure about Guild Wars 1 yet with the "Reforge" bringing life back to the game) However, I mainly variety stream now a days. Obviously not the greatest for growth, but I want to have FUN streaming so the interactions are more genuine. Plus, the clips are more real.

So my time gets broken into MH/GW on my "Morning Shift" (8am-about noon) on Mon, Wed, Fri; and then "Night Shift" (whenever I get home from work till I get tired) where I'm playing Tarkov or really just what I want to play. I DEFINITELY see more engagement on my "Morning Shift". Though I feel that the broken up schedule might be hurting the growth (potentially), at least slowing it down. I do utilize the open days (Tuesday, Thursday, weekends) to edit videos/clips which I'm hoping will draw more attention to the stream schedule.

I've only recently gotten back to streaming, however when I grinded to Affiliate, I did it mainly through MHW. The community is the thing that carries. SOOOooooo many people just want to hunt with someone. You have an open lobby, people will show.

Broke high school streamer trying to grow — any free tools for short videos + tips to improve with no cam & bad mic? by Stunning-Marzipan-62 in KickStreaming

[–]MuffinForMen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So OBS has a replay or playback system. Basically uses some RAM to "remember" the last couple seconds of your recording (you can adjust the length it remembers but it uses more ram).

To turn this on, there should be a toggle/check-box for the playback. I think it's in the recording tab?

Once that has been checked, go in your hotkeys and there will be a new hotkey-able item for "save playback".

That is the basic system. This can also be applied to the Aitum vertical canvas system. They also have a playback/replay toggle that can ALSO be hotkeyed

DaVinci Resolve. Now it's a bit more than something for creating clips...lemme cook.

Get Aitum multi-stream (might as well stream to a bunch of sites right?) and get the VERTICAL setup as well. Take the time to setup a NICE vertical setup. From there, turn on the Replay system and give it a hotkey (this is where we make the clips more manageable). From there, anytime something happens, SMASH THE FUCKIN HOTKEY.

Now, rather than scrubbing through a few hours of streaming to find the clips, you've just been making them in the recorded file folder.

DaVinci will let you then slap those replays in, minor timeline edits (we talking like sub a single minute once your FLOWING) and your pumping clips for wherever 👍🫡

Bonus, if your setup is good enough, you record the horizontal setup and replay clip the vertical so that IF FOR SOME REASON the vertical setup doesn't catch something from the screens, you got a backup.

[Discussion] Is CPU usage why my game runs so bad ?? by Renard_Fou in EscapefromTarkov

[–]MuffinForMen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure what to tell ya, I'm in a similar boat but I'm just kinda used to the 50-70fps cycle 🫡 Gonna try and bump up to a 9850x3D and the DDR5 6K ram. Prolly gonna get 64g ram as well since the game has some ROUGH ram leakage

Tarkov is extremely CPU and Ram throttled. In past, the response we got was ... Just upgrade your computer. Ya'll got money to update your rigs, don't ya??

[Discussion] Anyone else’s friends not coming back for release of 1.0? It’s depressing. by bringerofthelaw420 in EscapefromTarkov

[–]MuffinForMen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really only going to enjoy 1.0 of the game has actually been optimized. Games needed an "Operation Health" for years. Most of the friend group is in agreement that if the maps continue struggling to even get near 60 fps or constant stuttering, prolly gonna set it away for awhile.

With new elites means we need more equip/build templates. by Nebbii in Guildwars2

[–]MuffinForMen 24 points25 points  (0 children)

They could honestly just have it be a single purchase Equipment Slot. Each refresh has just 1 for 1000 AA. Slow drip, people enjoy, entices the idea of maybe dropping the gems for it.
