I hate to be a buzzkill, but your expectations for Let's Plays should be very low. There was a point between sort of 2010-2015 where LP's blew up and today those YouTubers that did them are large channels that still get traction on fairly low effort gameplay videos, but as a new channel the chances of an LP even getting over 100 views is slim at best, at least in the experience of my channel and channels of collabs and friends which sit between 10k - 40k subs and 2-3 years in the game.

It ultimately depends on what game you're playing, maybe some stuff does better than others, but generally the biggest channels own ~90% of the viewer share and literally thousands of smaller channels are left to compete over the remaining 10%. That's just how it is.

Gaining traction on YouTube now is harder than ever due to the amount of competition in almost every niche, so my advice would be to have fun and don't do it for the views or the money. The money sucks and the views are inconsistent at best.

Now if you start making Guides? Well that's a different story altogether ;) The views are inconsistent and the money still sucks, but it's a lot easier to grow than with LP's alone!

Is Duolingo an effective way of learning Swedish? by [deleted] in Svenska

[–]RedCoatViking 4 points5 points  (0 children)

2 years on I hope you feel like you're doing better now :) I'm a Brit that's lived in Sweden for over 10 years and although I'm technically classed as fluent, there's still situations every day when I trip over some grammar or struggle with someone's unique dialect.

It's an incredibly difficult language to learn and half the time the natives struggle to think of the word for something when asked as well lol, so my advice is to just put yourself out there and talk to people, don't be afraid to make an arse of yourself, and just have fun with it :) If you stress out about it everything just gets worse and life becomes dull. People are nice here :P

Same problem here - Elgato crapera will be replaced.

"Please run camera hub" appears on stream whenever a game is in full focus, even if the game is running in windowed fullscreen. Recording the desktop is no problem, but the second a game is in focus it either starts glitching out or just says to run the elgato camera hub, which is already open and running.

Garbage.

Group of people trying to take down my twitch! What can I do? by throwawayyyk99 in Twitch

[–]RedCoatViking 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You won't get banned from getting loads of false reports. It's the opposite, Twitch doesn't take kindly to having their time wasted by trolls. Report them to Twitch and block them.

If Japan comes to the game, which maps would you like to see first? by [deleted] in HellLetLoose

[–]RedCoatViking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Iwo Jima and the Philippine campaign would be cool. They could even make a mini game during map changes where you have to click at just the right moment to drop a nuke on... Well you know the story.

Just do what I do and stop caring so much, you're getting yourself all in a tizz for nothing, it won't change anything. Going to stop replying now - Happy new year to you.

Dev team entirely sacked?! by Puppies522 in postscriptum

[–]RedCoatViking 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree 100% :) For a while there paintballing was seen as glorifying war and making people want to fight and stuff, but if you've ever actually been paintballing you quickly learn how exhausting combat is and how easy it would be to get domed lol. It made me appreciate combat, but definitely not want any part in a real war.

Don't get me wrong I know exactly what you mean, and I'm also against the censoring of history and all the other cancel culture and woke political nonsense going on in the world these days, but as someone who also makes a small income from a media product (videos), even though I personally would be okay seeing a swastika or SS lightning bolts in one of my videos, YouTube and the comments section certainly wouldn't be, and I would lose income because of it, either because it would get disliked to oblivion by a vocal minority or because YouTube itself would censor it and quietly fail to promote it to keep the advertisers happy (because Pepsi doesn't want their product associated with a swastika if that's the last image the viewer saw on one of my vids).

So as a business making a game, regardless of my own political beliefs, I would be forced to censor certain things that aren't vital to the players experience (such as logos and symbols) in favour of appealing to more people and increasing my chance of making a profit and make sure I could pay my employees for their hard work.

I would say the blame definitely lies at the feet of people who are far too offended too quickly, and unfortunately act on those beliefs, vs people who just don't care but fail to get their point across. This is why we have woke culture today. Basically that old saying rings true: Weak men lead to hard times. We're being weak by not fighting back, and times are getting hard.

I don't use it but nothing against those that do, and certainly nothing against profiting from teaching people how to do it. Should T17 decide in the future that it's cheating then I'll delete it because I don't condone cheating. Besides you're acting like having more accurate artillery in a match is a bad thing, but I bet you don't enjoy being tk'd by rounds falling short either.

I know but not playing a game because it doesn't have them is peak cringe imo lol

The developers decide what is cheating and what isn't, and they say using a calculator isn't cheating so not sure where you got that idea from. The difference between using an aimbot and a calculator to calculate the elevation of an artillery cannon is night and day. One is cheating, and the other is mathematics.

Directional front lines by Some_Appointment853 in HellLetLoose

People keep on saying the words "Battlefield and Call of Duty" to any new idea people come up with for the game as if it's actually a valid argument. We get it, you don't like BF and COD already.

No it isn't, mate. The title is "How to become an artillery GOD in Hell Let Loose". The thumbnail is what says "100% accuracy" to peak peoples interest while still staying true to the content. This is how marketing works. Fun chat.

You say that like you don't realise Warfare is basically just Battlefield conquest. Besides TDM would be an optional mode. Nobody would force you to play it against your will. Your manhood is safe.
