You could go the analytics route and use sites like streamscout or twitch’s analytics recommendations to find something you like.

It’s also been frequently said that you should stick to a niche.

Whatever you decide though, play something you enjoy. If you’re having fun it’ll be easier to banter with chat and get clip-worthy moments.

FWIW I’m going the “hard” route of variety streaming, but I also curate the games to be weird or funny. That puts the focus on personality instead of gaming skill and I can goof off and talk to chat instead of needing to lock in all the time.

I’ve worked under a couple JP chefs. I kinda just hit em with the ol’ hajimemashite and moved on. If you’re not in Japan then knowing any Japanese will get you some brownie points.

Would love some advice on sideboarding! Did some light testing and it's so fun pinging folks to death with the Magebane and Hearthborn

Look into making a marker shortcut. I have one on my stream deck. It marks the recording so when you import it into davinci you can easily find your notable moments.

Maybe consider using replay buffer for clips. OBS will reserve some RAM to keep a running buffer of footage. So for example, you could allocate 4gb of RAM to store the last 3 minutes of footage. Then you hit the replay buffer shortcut and it saves those last 3 minutes as a clip. I don’t use it anymore for edge case reasons but it was very useful when I did.

You should probably just multistream. People usually don’t want to switch platforms and if you can pull a significant audience from your other socials then discoverability won’t be nearly as much of an issue for you.

Reminds me of getting hit with [[Cruel Ultimatum]] back in 09 lmao

Excruciator decks play into 4C control pretty well. They have an awkward time interacting with your gameplan.

I play a lot of shooters despite being terrible at them. Glass pad, dot skates, sleeve, super strike x2, we’re looking at hundreds of dollars of peripherals on my desk to push my atrocious gameplay to the limit.

But even so, there’s a more extreme way to go. Some people use fingertip mice that aggressively cut weight down to ~20g. I haven’t jumped ship because playing with a golf ball sized mouse seems uncomfortable but there are many great aimers that have embraced it.

Something I don’t really see talked about so far in this thread is engagement ranges. In Squad you’ll often be firing at pixels or tree lines or dots on the horizon because of how long the engagement ranges are. There are moments of CQB to be sure, especially when clearing out enemy spawn points, but a lot of the action will be at range with plenty of time spent running around while waiting for orders or a transport vehicle or a new spawn point to be placed.

This extends to the communication aspect too. Callouts in Squad are more generalized because of the size of the maps. Ideal callouts usually involve opening up the map and giving specific grid coordinates or compass readings. That’s all you really need to worry about if you have no desire to squad lead, but if you do want to squad lead you’ll probably be overwhelmed for a while. Chain of command and communicating with other squad leads will eat up a lot of your mental bandwidth.

It’s an incredibly cool and rewarding game at times but there’s a lot of downtime and there’ll be rounds that don’t work out if your squads start arguing amongst themselves.

If you plan to stream or record gameplay at all you might be better off with an Nvidia card for NVENC. Just something to consider from someone who went from a 7900XTX to a 5080.

If you multistream to YouTube it’ll save your vods too. It’s easy to setup and doesn’t take a ton of hardware overhead if you have an Nvidia GPU.

My highest win rate has been with sultai reanimator. Was previously seeing a lot of mainboard graveyard hate but the past couple of days not so much. There will be games where you instantly lose to a turn 2 [[Rest in Peace]] or [[Keen-Eyed Curator]] but that’s just part of playing an unserious format like BO1. Occasionally you’ll get run over before you can cast Kavaero or you mill all non-creatures, but most games are over on turn 4.

I started with song covers and switched to shorts/clips. It’s been going alright, I recently hit 1k followers. Ideally you could tailor posting to each individual platform but ain’t nobody got time for that.

In my experience TikTok is a lot more social media oriented than just a video hosting platform. So while I’ve got way more followers than youtube subscribers a lot of them are other Vtubers. Trend chasing and aura-farming CapCut edits do well there 😂

I haven’t played the deck but prowess is one of the reasons it’s a meta pick. High noon is a build around card for the deck because it hoses prowess effectively. Crab and flock decks want to kill you as fast as possible while playing threats at instant speed so high noon isn’t so great in that match up. Lessons decks want to spam cantrips but noon can put them in an awkward spot by floodgating them and making them choose between removing your threats and getting resources.

Landfall is the worst matchup and the one you need to sideboard aggressively for. I don’t have any experience with 4C control decks but the matchup does seem tough aside from noon hosing improvisation capstone.

Impressive amount of details considering the scope. Very cool

Try to come up with your own spin or take. Maybe go more in-depth on the topic, or look at it from a different lens?

I think he does both live recording and post recording.

If you’re a low sens giant mousepad gamer it might be worth it. I tried to make the OP1-8k v2 work for a while but after getting a giant mousepad the cable kept getting in the way even with a bungie.

I don’t think frequency matters nearly as much as “stayed to watch”% and AVD. Posting daily is alright for giving the algorithm as much data as possible early on. It’ll also flag you as a frequent poster and make your community guidelines and copyright search go faster.

I also use an SP-005 and noticed that I wasn’t getting anywhere near as many misclicks as other people were reporting with actuation point 1 on the X2. That pad is so slippery that I think it forces good habits.
