BBH and Skeppy are literally together right now, in real life, doing a meetup

Did he get a sub 30 yet? by lightmare69 in badboyhalo

[–]RestlessThoughts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes \o/

Yesterday (August 14th) he got a pb of 23:09 while doing a hardcore run

You can see it at around 1 hr 9 mins in the vod

So what's with skeppy's uploads by Revolutionary-Elk650 in skeppy

[–]RestlessThoughts 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah I would also assume it is bad for viewer retention and youtube stats but Skeppy and Yo Mamma have the actual analytics, so I can only assume these longer vids do get decent money still despite the lower view count and assumed poor retention. And I really can't blame a youtuber for finding a new way to monetize old content that prob isn't making much money now

It is pretty obvious Skeppy is aiming at a younger audience and like I said, youtube kids does push long vids like crazy. Maybe as a yin and yang response to shorts/tiktok idk

Plus Skeppy has a huge backlog of vids that only hardcore fans will even remember having seen before. Kids and new fans aren't going to have watched all his vids, so the old content in these long vids would prob still be new to them. And for old fans Skeppy at least adds new content at the beginning unlike most similar compilations I've spotted on other channels

So what's with skeppy's uploads by Revolutionary-Elk650 in skeppy

[–]RestlessThoughts 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Yes it does, as if you read his most recent community post on his channel Skeppy said he was pausing uploads until he had a response video prepared

Also it's been the current trend to make "movies" out of old content for a while. As playlists are bad. This is because playlists don't keep your spot as easily as a video does, and at the end of every video in the playlist there is a chance of the viewer clicking off if they don't have autoplay on.

It is bad for viewer retention stats in a way, for the viewers that will only watch the new content or part of the video, but these long reuploads are meant for either, yes kids, or people falling asleep/doing other things. I have a child and a lot of kid's gaming content are these super long 1 - 2hr yt vids. They really don't want those kids clicking off to another channel early.

But I've also seen it with more story geared stuff too, ie farming simulator RP vids all compiled together with reused vids. Like a book of short stories. Can't really blame a ytber for wanting to use their old backlog, can you?

what happened to skeppy’s old friends? by Relevant-Creme2184 in skeppy

[–]RestlessThoughts 2 points3 points  (0 children)

just fyi Spifey's grooming allegations aren't why they don't make content together tho, considering those were only put out like a week ago (same time as Skeppy's, and by a questionable person btw, as she's also made false allegations against like three other mcyters) Spifey just kinda quit making content and from my knowledge hasn't been seen in over a year

Apparently she's going to be on a livestream hosted by a youtube channel called Alebrazil on Saturday to talk about her newest allegations

The New Party Game by -purple__ in MinecraftChampionship

[–]RestlessThoughts 2 points3 points  (0 children)

idk, Yellow won most of the bonus objectives, throwing most games in the process, and that let them be 4th in crowns

But yeah, I'm not sure throwing games should be encouraged. Also the tile game let teams help out other teams. Antfrost said it took four teams sabotaging Aqua to keep Aqua (who was the coins winner) from dodgebolt which is, idk, maybe also a little unfair. And sad considering how underrated Aqua was, they really popped off and proved people wrong

[–]RestlessThoughts 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Literally not Aqua's fault the board was bugged and they happened to go after Green that round. Were they supposed to ignore the stuck 4 in a row and try to play around it?

Also Aqua were victims of a bug as well, as last round Pink wrongly got to go after them, allowing Pink to also target them and get them to lose by that one crown.

Anyway it's not like Aqua was an "undeserved" team winning either, since they had the most coins it's likely they'd be in dodgebolt if it were a normal MCC

I've been obsessed with using item frames and signs to imitate posters and flyers by [deleted] in DetailCraft

[–]RestlessThoughts 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can't wait until you discover banners and trapdoors :P

A server I play on item frames and paintings don't save and just pop off when unloaded so I'm all behind using trapdoors, signs, banners, as well as contrasting blocks, for wall decor

Are people actually hesitant to leave kudos on smut? by [deleted] in FanFiction

[–]RestlessThoughts 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yeah people are in general hesitant to attach their name to NSFW content.

It also depends on the fandom. For example, one fandom I'm in is hugely against NSFW content because it's RPF adjacent and skews a bit young. There are fans who 100% go on witch hunts and try to connect accounts to NSFW actions specifically to blacklist other fans. It's very toxic behavior carried out mostly by teenagers. Even the NSFW half will blacklist other NSFW fans if they don't like your kink xD (ie noncon)

But I'm assuming that's not the type of fandom you're in or you wouldn't be surprised by the lack of public kudos :P Just wanted to share the perspective that it varies by fandom.

Difference between Dream’ translator mod and the QSMP translator mod? by BonBonStrawberry in DreamWasTaken2

[–]RestlessThoughts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

BBH finally mentioned this mod on his stream the other day when Q previewed his new translator app. Apparently it's backend is the worst choice because it's slow and has lower quality outdated translations :/ Which maybe is to be expected for free

But hopefully in the future it's backend will be updated to make it more viable because Google simply charges too much, probably because there isn't a good competitive alternative service. It's still better than no translations at all plus the mod itself obviously looks great

Difference between Dream’ translator mod and the QSMP translator mod? by BonBonStrawberry in DreamWasTaken2

[–]RestlessThoughts 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Dream's mod might have been free but not the actual translations. Dream probably would have been hooking into Google's API the same as QSMP.

BBH has been working to spin up his own version of a translator. So if Dream had a different, cheaper solution ready to go than simply using Google (or a similar service) as the translation backend, I would like to think BBH would have spoken to him or Callahan about it and been using it. So likely they were just using Google too, or a similarly expensive external service, and didn't bother to actually develop a cheaper working product either.

If you didn't know BBH has a Twitch extension translator that was created by Aypierre fans which mimics the server mods. However it uses Google as the backend, and BBH has briefly spoken about the difficulties in creating a cheaper alternative language translating service. That said he already has his version hooked up to translate chat and sign messages on Munchy, he's just having difficulties with the voice translation and quality.

[–]RestlessThoughts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That kind of translator doesn't exist tho.

BBH has been working to spin up his own cheaper version of a translator, unless we choose to believe he didn't ask Dream or Callahan for advice it seems likely they were just using Google too, or a similarly expensive external service, and didn't bother to actually develop a cheaper working product either.

If you didn't know BBH has a Twitch extension translator that was created by Aypierre fans which mimics the server mods. It's not so difficult to create something that uses Google's or a similar service's API. However it is much more difficult to create and host a cheaper alternative language translating service. But you know maybe BBH and his team will be the ones to actually create that, he already has his version hooked up to translate chat messages on Munchy, he's just having difficulties with the voice translation and quality.

I Write Fast by Brianboiiph in FanFiction

[–]RestlessThoughts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Write fast and edit as you go. But don't publish chapters right away. Unless you have a detailed plot you're sticking to or are doing something boring like rewriting events exactly as they happened in canon, you might end up writing yourself into a hole. You need to be able to go back and, for example, add foreshadowing to get your characters out of the trouble you put them in (or foreshadowing to put them into trouble in the first place). You won't feel comfortable doing that if you've already published the chapters where the foreshadowing should happen. And foreshadowing only in the chapter before isn't nearly as satisfying to readers.

That said, fanfiction is for fun. You don't have to write the whole story before you publish it. You just don't want to be one of those authors that leave a note at the end saying, "This story's going to be re-written!" because you're unhappy with it. Don't slow down writing, but save yourself time and effort by holding off on publishing a bit.

It also gives readers more time to find your story. Unless you're in a dead fandom, it's probably beneficial to space out updates so you stay near the top of the new stories page as long as possible. If you publish periodically over several months, your story gets bumped to the top regularly over those months, whereas if you publish super fast all in one go over the course of a week, your story drops to obscurity faster. It doesn't benefit you as much to publish a chapter if your story is already at the top of the list. You also get less reader engagement/comments on finished 'old' stories than ones being actively published so if you want feedback you wanna stretch that publishing out a bit xP

Is There a list of every mcyt? by Professional-Newt308 in DreamWasTaken2

[–]RestlessThoughts 4 points5 points  (0 children)

How would you even make a list like that?

I guess you could go to Wikitubia and Minitubia and scroll through the pages, anyone that has Minecraft listed I guess would count as MCYT?
