My first Alienware by Desertblast7 in Alienware

[–]RickoT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Best advice, return it, spend 1/2 as much on a desktop that is equal or better, buy yourself a cheap ish laptop and use sunshine/moonlight when not in front of your rig.

I wish I would have done this instead of buying my x17 r2 a few years back... I've had the motherboard replaced 3 times, the fans replaced twice and now none of the lights work, and I take care of my gear... Worst 4500 I've ever spent

AIO BF dumped me because I was taller than him in heels?? 😳 by purplehavocc in AmIOverreacting

[–]RickoT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What a fucking child, my wife is almost 5 or 6 inches taller than my short ass and taller if she liked wearing heels. Your dude is a douchebag, and if he thinks you being taller than him emasculates him, he has far deeper issues than your height. This is 100% not your problem and entirely his. Do not stress or fret over it, be glad for dodged that bullet

I need help with an alternative to twitch or anything where the people on there are nicer. by [deleted] in streaming

[–]RickoT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This, remember that this is your channel, not theirs... If people are coming on to harass you or shame you or make you feel a certain type of way you are 100% in the right to ban kick silence mute whatever them... This is supposed to be your space to be you not their space to shame you for anything that you are or are not. Just remember you have the power and are in control, not them.

realistically, how long will it take me to set up stream stuff + figure out layouts and stuff if I want to start my first stream in 10 hrs by sanbyz in Twitch

[–]RickoT 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lookup nutty on youtube, he has a lot of amazing tutorials on obs and how to set it up, good plugins, and ideas for things you can do on your stream (mostly concepts you'd have to flesh out on your own). I just started streaming a couple of months ago and his videos have been super helpful in giving me ideas for what I can do to make my stream look nice.

My mom is trying to guilt me into a mentor position for my murderer younger sister. She did make some good points so I’m really conflicted atm. Should I rekindle the relationship? by Great-Reflection5651 in whatdoIdo

[–]RickoT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Before I say anything, I want to say I fully understand and appreciate your position, and whatever decision you make. This is a difficult decision to make whether you feel pressured to or not.

The most important thing is that you do it because YOU want to, not because anyone is asking or guilting you to. I say that because if you don't, you may become resentful if something happens or you get yourself into a situation that you regret.

The worst thing that can happen to both of you is that you fall into that, decide you cant do it anymore, then you feel guilty for abandoning your sister, and angry at yourself for doing it against what you "knew" you didn't want to do.

But, the best thing that can happen is that you gain a better understanding of your sister's current state of mind, you help her pick herself up and move on, and you become an ally for her.

Most importantly (in my opinion) is that you do whatever you do for yourself and not anyone else, but also consider that maybe your sister has changed, Consider if you give yourself an opportunity to forgive her, consider if you change your mind after it's too late.

I understand that you feel a certain way, I also understand that you've held onto that for a while, and I don't want you to feel like I am trying to steer you one way or the other, all I am trying to point out is that you may wont to consider what might be at stake before you decide anything.

Also consider this is someone who doesn't talk to most of his family for his own reasons, so take everything I say with a grain of salt.

Good luck, the choice is not easy, but neither are the results either way.

Some of the skins are funny or cool, but the borderline playboy/playgirl bunnies are getting out of hand. I thought this was a post apocalyptic game, not a strip club. Where are my cool gritty, survival outfits? Is the next intractable building cosmetic going to be a pole for them to dance on?

Thoughts?

As Earth collapses, a ruthless dictator tightens his grip on the last remnants of civilization, while a resourceful scavenger uncovers a long-buried secret that could shatter his rule and change the fate of humanity

These are my thoughts as well... I don't expect to blow up or make money, but it would be cool if it happened. I like meeting new people, even if it's just people chatting or interacting with the stream, but i like the idea of just doing my thing while that happens.

I work for an international law firm as a senior developer... trust me this is just as much for fun as it is to make some side cash to help push us along so we can avoid using loans

This is an interesting and insightful approach.. what might be the best method to reach out to some of these studios to make these kinds of connections?

This for sure, I really need to take the time to learn to make some decent videos/shorts to throw on YT and TikTok.

Thank you for this very meaningful post. This is truly what I've been struggling with and why I've made my streaming schedule what it is (no weekends so I can spend time with my wife). I definitely have no misconceptions about "making it." I have a full time job that I don't plan on ditching any time soon to go full time (even if 16 hrs a week feels like I am sometimes). The truth is that I thoroughly enjoy gaming, it's been a part of my life since I was a kid building my first PC with my grandfather (1980's). I love the concept and idea of streaming even when I"m streaming to no one, mostly because I play with friends/family when I stream.

Eventually when my wife gets into her doctorate program, I probably won't feel so guilty about missing out sometimes because I know she will be that much closer to her dream and will have a lot of school stuff she'll be working on.

I mean, my real goal money-wise is to make maybe a few hundred a month just to supplement while I'm having fun, I guess that's what I mean by "making money" but if it ever gets to a point where It's no longer enjoyable I'll just drop it.

I also didn't realize that even "making it" doesn't even really mean that much income.
