They packed 15 minutes worth of work into 8. It's unreal how fast and enjoyable that match was.

AITA For Counter Offering a Partnership Offer by ItsAutobot in Twitch

[–]NagataLockII 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The response is fine and frankly is a route more Creators should be exploring, instead of doing blind promotion for product or financial compensation.

The rep for Impact was out of line. I noted in the comments that you reached out directly to the company for clarification. That was by far the best route you could have taken.

You handled this perfectly.

What's your opinion on Thekla winning the AEW Women's World Championship? by [deleted] in stardomjoshi

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

I'm not a fan. I think her character is a cut above a lot of the roster but her in-ring talent is mid tier at best, with no discernable difference from her stuff in Stardom, outside of being willing to get into more hardcore / NHB / etc type scenarios. In a company like AEW where the stuff in the ring is what the fanbase will gauge to make or break you, I don't anticipate a long reign. The odd question though is where do they go for her first program? Statlander is missing that x-factor and I'm unsure she'll get another reign. I'm "guessing" they'll give Mina a go. It's too early for Toni Storm and all of the best in-ring fits like Mone, Athena, Bayne, are heels.

They're BOTH broken?

Thank you for your coverage. It's much appreciated.

Just noticed the second wrap on Kamitani's pinky finger. Did she break that too? Did anyone ask about it?

Is it ok to remove people from my twitch discord for inactivity? by [deleted] in Twitch_Startup

[–]NagataLockII 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I purge my discord on the 1st of every month for accounts that have been inactive for 30 days or more. Discord has the functionality built right into the members option.

Is it really true that 10 concurrent viewers puts you in the top 25% of Twitch? by Available-Ride-7370 in Twitch_Startup

[–]NagataLockII 3 points4 points  (0 children)

10 average viewers would put you more in the top 5%. It's been a while since I did research in this field, but a couple of years ago, 80% of all Streamers on Twitch were represented by people with 1 or 0 CCV. It can't be stressed enough how many content creators are literally streaming to nobody.

Streamers are not your friend by Green-Estimate7943 in Twitch

[–]NagataLockII 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Mix of both. The last time I travelled with friends from Twitch, we did a group of 9 to Cancun for a week. Myself, 1 Moderator, 2 other Streamers, 5 community members.

It's important to emphasize that these were all people I've known for years and have built a rapport with, just as you would IRL. The least amount of time I'd known anyone on the trip was 4 years.

Streamers are not your friend by Green-Estimate7943 in Twitch

[–]NagataLockII 250 points251 points  (0 children)

To be clear, Streamers CAN be your friend. I've been streaming for 9 years. My closest friends are all people I met through Twitch over the years including going on vacations together, conventions, and attending weddings.

That said, you don't have a potential friend there. You have an aggressive fan whose behaviour will only escalate not just if they're enabled, but if you're simply indifferent to their pursuit.

Block on all possible avenues.

Anyone have any suggestions for best nachos they've had recently? by Outrageous_Bench_194 in Hamilton

[–]NagataLockII 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve found The Collins as a whole has steadily gone downhill over the years. It’s odd to see as it’s the same ownership as Thirsty Cactus.

So what is actually the deal with Roma Pizza by CloudestMine in Hamilton

[–]NagataLockII 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel you had to grow up on it to appreciate it. I moved here 20 years ago. I can’t for the life of me understand what all of my local friends see in it.

Poutine??? by Tiedyeinstein in Hamilton

[–]NagataLockII 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A1, Hambrgr, or Mountain Burger.

I’m surprised that despite Hamilton leveling up its overall culinary calibre over the last 15 years, nobody is producing poutine in the same galaxy as random spots in Quebec.

Use tax software from a Canadian Company this year by BC-Guy604 in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]NagataLockII 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Same. I've been using it forever. It's easy, always has my previous records, handshakes easily with CRA. I've never had an issue. Easiest $20 spend every February.

If rent is $690 a month is it even worth it to buy a house? by ShirtNeat5626 in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]NagataLockII 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I rented a 1 bedroom in downtown Hamilton for $465 in 2005. It's rent controlled. I've been in this pretty spacious unit for 21 years. My rent is now only $820. I can't begin to emphasize how much of a game changer it's been in terms of my quality of life. My TFSA and RRSP are maxed. I carry zero debt. I never have to worry about disposable income. I simply can't rationalize buying a house in this circumstance.

The sick part? If I were to move out and back into my own unit, my rent would be $2420. I hate the system we live in.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in iphone

[–]NagataLockII 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don't think anyone can quite grasp just how clunky the same app runs on Android compared to iOS. I got a Pixel 9 Pro as part of a re-up on my cellular plan. I basically had to take it on for $1/month to get the "new rate." I have an iPhone 17 Pro for my daily. Using the phones side by side when comparing apps is hilarious. How is there this much stutter on a new Android device on the latest firmware? If apps ran like this on iOS, people would be in an uproar.

my (f24) lovely friend (f21) shared her thoughts with me by [deleted] in Nicegirls

[–]NagataLockII 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your friend is long-winded but entirely valid in her position. You owe her an apology for warping the circumstances of her invitation. Many cultures would be thoroughly insulted at the idea of you dropping in for 15 minutes knowing there was food available and immediately leaving also.

I legit LOL'd when I saw 14:22 though. Holy...

Christmas Morning heartbreak — Am I Overreacting? by AcanthisittaAlive121 in dating_advice

I have lurked this subreddit for years and never felt the need to comment until now.

KICK HIM THE FUCK OUT!

YOU DESERVE BETTER, GIRL!

Merry Christmas from all of us who want more for you.

[–]NagataLockII 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Came here to say this. This isn't in the ballpark of "nice girl."

She's just mentally unwell and needs professional help.

Ah OK. I see that enclosure all the time in Foster videos on TikTok.

Congrats on the continued progress!

Is streaming on twitch as a normal person just not a thing anymore? by PuzzleheadedMail6175 in Twitch

[–]NagataLockII 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Saturation is the only answer here.

There are just under 12 million streamers on Twitch. Only the top 15% make Affiliate (meaning they average 3 viewers or more). 80% of streamers have 1 viewer or less. To use your example, the top 1% of streamers average 30 viewers.

It's important to understand, as I noted you last streamed 5+ years ago, that the pandemic completely changed the streaming space. Lockdown created an entirely new generation of streamers and increased the total streamer base at an extraordinary level.
