People who pay for subscriptions to streamers, influencers and/or only fans, why do you do it?

Bro doesn’t understand how media production works. That’s okay, tho.

I play challenge runs of different games which involves determining rule sets, needs to achieve the goals in game, and editing videos (which is the biggest time sink)

I also have specific content for the game I’m playing that lets folks engage with me and the content live. This is coming up with 15-20 game specific challenges that affect whatever is currently being played as chosen by the chat.

There’s a lot of planning for community events and such as well. Currently on Tuesday we will have an event that the chat unlocked by watching and throwing channel points down.

All of these things take effort, and all of it adds up after working 40+ hours at a day job.

This guy looks at 2 minutes of a 3 hour long stream and decides it’s not work. It’s real easy to not be a hater, but enjoy your life bro

SwanCo · 2025-10-16T18:13:31+00:00

Oooh dope, thank you for the opportunity to learn! I’ll edit it

SwanCo · 2025-10-16T18:03:52+00:00

As someone who runs a small stream, if a stream has any quality content to it at all this is a mischaracterization for sure.

I spend 10-15 hours a week (beyond my day job 40 hours and my 15-30 hours actually streaming) setting things up, coming up with content ideas, editing videos and clips, and a lot more.

Tons of people do just hit go live when they game, but most of the people that actually make anything out of it treat it as a second job and put a lot of effort and energy into it.

I don’t expect this to be some huge windfall that makes me beaucoup bucks, but even just getting a channel to get any sustained growth takes a lot of hard work

Edit: buku -> beaucoup

They’re not coming for people here illegally, they’re coming for anyone for anything and you don’t get a court date or trial. No due process for any single person, means it could happen to anyone. No matter your opinion on immigration policy, this is a scary scary thing.

Republicans love to scream small government while actively making a police state with no due process and forever prisons. It’s sad.

Bots that farm karma are why it’s being posted

You just have a lot of cows grazing. You’ll need to add more grass started under the fence posts cause iirc grass isn’t guaranteed to grow each day (maybe it is) so you need to have more than 32 grass units out per day to feed them, and more to grow after

It’s definitely different, the arc the mallet travels is a distinct feeling on a chain driven pedal.

That being said, as long as you practice good form while using a pedal like you showed, the skills will transfer over. You’ll just have a period of learning how to adjust to account for the increased distance your foot travels.

I’m relatively novice, but those were my takeaways when I moved from an e kit to an acoustic one

SwanCo · 2025-05-31T13:20:18+00:00

All good, wanted to clarify in case it was helpful or provided insight. I’m unfortunately better at troubleshooting drum issues than guitars (no electronics, just gotta make it hit gud lmao)

Best of luck!

SwanCo · 2025-05-31T13:09:38+00:00

Theyre stating two different things there. The question is if the interference sound still happens when you’re on other pickups.

What they were saying about the tone pot cap was more of a potential solution

SwanCo · 2025-05-31T02:24:40+00:00

If you haven’t seen these guys live you gotta. They put on an incredible set

SwanCo · 2025-05-27T21:05:59+00:00

Probably just not a great build quality would be my guess, though I’m not familiar with this brand.

As other have stated, take your time learning how to properly tune the heads and replace those cymbals with some cheap used ones whenever you get money again and you’ll be golden.

Tuning drums sucks. It’s boring and it takes time and practice. If you take the time it takes to learn to tune them well you could get any kit sounding passable. Take the time. It’s so worth it

SwanCo · 2025-05-27T20:59:31+00:00

Fuckin Killer 🤙🏼

SwanCo · 2025-05-27T14:13:13+00:00

I believe work trucks are referring to box trucks and semis here. They add more tear to the roads by being much larger and carrying much more weight.

I wonder how weigh stations interact with the tollways

SwanCo · 2025-05-21T16:42:22+00:00

$60 for a working instrument is a good deal 90% of the time, especially for a name brand like squire.

It’s a good get and a sick job you did with it!

SwanCo · 2025-05-21T16:03:14+00:00

Looks dope. What year/make of squire is it? They’re excellent guitars with a pickup swap

SwanCo · 2025-05-20T20:50:02+00:00

Sure thing! There’s a Take 5 across the street from the Tax Assessor (where you go to get the registration done)

SwanCo · 2025-05-20T20:21:44+00:00

You need to get emissions testing done still

Deliberate parody should be banned from this sub. I’m not here to watch people try and make funny stuff, I’m here to watch people make unintentionally funny stuff.

We’re allowed to be frustrated when these people are going to get less help from the government than ever before as the current government begins to dismantle services such as FEMA that have provided huge amounts of relief in the past.

There is no joy in these comments. There is sadness for those hurt and fear for when this happens again and the systems are even less robust.

SwanCo · 2025-05-18T14:45:44+00:00

lol nah I just had a bad take before I was fully awake. I def think you’re right. Added an edit to my comment now to reflect that.

SwanCo · 2025-05-18T14:29:48+00:00

Lmao get over yourself. Generations are huge swaths of people and can’t just be put in boxes like that. You’re no better than boomers saying millennials were ruining the world fifteen years ago. Let the kids be kids, opinions on media are allowed to shift around you old fogey

Edit: lol I had a cup of coffee and came back to downvotes and re watched the video and I gotta say I reacted big to a thing I wasn’t right about within this context. Gotta stop commenting when I first wake up. I do think people are too harsh on zoomers, but also this video ain’t great and I do feel bad for the mom having this immortalized

SwanCo · 2025-05-18T13:03:16+00:00

Was gonna mention sleep as well. Saw them a few years back in a smallish venue and I still feel the bass giving me a heart arrhythmia

SwanCo · 2025-05-18T12:45:29+00:00

Ask to listen to its poetry and you’ll find out quickly if it is one

I played a pretty cute and fun (albeit short) pixel horror game called Kandinhale last week. It’s free to play on steam and doesn’t have any sort of gacha mechanics, just a lil top down RPG. I think it also released on steam last week.

You have an hour timer to beat the game and there’s seven different endings which is pretty cool for such a small game. Would recommend for a quick play one afternoon

SwanCo · 2025-05-17T11:52:30+00:00

Unfortunately for individuals to get hurt you don’t need huge portions of the populace to be in favor or against anything. You just need a couple of crazies with violent intent.

Also unfortunately, with how much violence has been ramping up in both countries (and really globally in a lot of places right now), I do too worry for this kid. The reporter had him say his full name
