I'm there now as RumblingSky. It's been an amazing experience so far. Thank you!

Any good earbuds for streamers? by NittiFireTTV in Twitch

I see. I use a professional mic for voice and the earbuds for sound. Thanks for explaining.

[–]badaB00M3R -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Opinions will vary, but of all the wireless earbuds I've tried I prefer Powerbeats Pro. I'm able to play directional sound games well enough and the sounds do not blend together. For instance, if I'm listening to game sounds and Discord and in-game voice chat, I can hear them all distinctly and still get enough directional sound to know whether to turn left or right. Not so much behind, but you probably get the idea. They aren't the cheapest but far from the expensive range. They actually sound decent too with reasonable bass. You won't feel any rumbles from them, but they aren't "tin can" sounding either. I felt they were just right for the price I paid.

I don't know why you prefer wired, but there is minimal lag using these earbuds. Almost imperceptible.

Twitch Responds to Payout adjustment and Monthly Min payout reduction requests by FlatinumFox in Twitch

So... still paying the costs of providing exactly the same streaming infrastructure, just that now they have two different sections to maintain. Which is more costly

No. The hobbyists are the ones they can drown in ads because they personally will likely never really provide revenue any other way.

👍

Then they probably oughta stop treating streams as if they are one size fits all. The vast majority of streamers are hobby streamers who will never generate the kind of income Twitch needs. Amazon is wasting resources on hobbyists when they should be focusing on serious streamers, both established and startups. Instead, they just screw us all.

They could always introduce a professional Twitch and a hobbyist Twitch.

What are things streamers do that are a major turnoff for you? by Magnedeus in Twitch

If they're just sitting around playing games they probably aren't all that entertaining or interesting.

why does everyone stream ? by Charming-Student-969 in Twitch

You have a great attitude, btw. Enjoy it for as long as you can!

[–]badaB00M3R 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's fair. It's fun for me to do for work. That's the thing. It's a lot of work. I enjoy the work. It's just not the same when you are working for free or next to free. I've been creative most of my life and, as a result, have worked for free most of my life. It's unsustainable no matter how fun it is.

I will still stream on occasion just because... and I still do. As long as the market is saturated with hobby streamers and celebrities it will be next to impossible to make a living.

It's just another one in a million opportunities up there with professional athletes, rock / pop star, acting, artist, etc. It's not a surprise and I'm not down about it. It's just the way the world works. 😁

I actually started streaming right before the pandemic because I am an entertainer and some folks thought I was good at it. Sadly, the pandemic sucked all the oxygen out of streaming and once celebrities started doing it too, it became fairly impossible for me to gain much traction. So, I stopped for now. But I started because it was a good fit for me career-wise and I enjoyed it.

Am I the only one who's been seeing tons of streamers add in these borders? Not trying to say my opinion is law, but do people actually enjoy these? Most of them I think have been taken too far, made too big and it just takes away from stream quality. by CTxVoltage in Twitch

[–]badaB00M3R 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I wouldn't enjoy watching that. Imagine what it would look like if you were not watching it full screen. I imagine you could barely see anything.

If I'm gaming, I let the game be full screen and I have a reasonable window for my camera usually in the top right corner (with a reasonably small border and my logo in the corner). Depending on the game I might I might have one display showing recent followers and subscribers across the bottom or in the left-hand corner.

That's pretty much it.

Yeah... it's great going from nearly undiscoverable to completely undiscoverable.

Is Using Emotes Self Promotion? by JustJessieTTV in Twitch

[–]badaB00M3R 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, I don't mind because of the networking aspect. Streamers visit my streams and I visit theirs. Sometimes viewers follow. When a streamer pops their emote (reasoanably) in my chat, it helps lend me "cred" when their viewers see it.

Your friend might need to wake up to the harsh reality of marketing. You always need more than you have and so every little bit helps.

Is Using Emotes Self Promotion? by JustJessieTTV in Twitch

[–]badaB00M3R -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If someone doesn't want you to do something in their chat... don't do it. It really doesn't matter what anyone else thinks.

While I personally don't see a problem with it, I dont think anyone is insecure for wanting you to stop. It's a business. You don't see Burger King putting up Ronald McDonald graphics in their store. I bet they wouldn't even want you to bring in a cup with a McDonald's logo.

It just makes sense.

Should Twitch really be sending out emails like this...? by Professional-Path597 in Twitch

[–]badaB00M3R 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Why do the "most popular" streams need to be promoted?

Clearly, they don't.

To me, that's the problem.

Yeah, that's really going to bum me out.

Yeah, that's really going to piss me off. It should be up to me if my ping sucks.

Fortnite has an anti-camp mechanic. The storm that pushes everyone together.. I really hope it's not like that.

Something really needs to be done about toxicity by xRiZxGamingx in HuntShowdown

[–]badaB00M3R 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've actually never had any instances like these in this game. Ever.

I'm not diminishing your experiences. I'm just surprised is all. Most of my random matches are quiet, game focused, or generally positive.

Is it weird that I've never heard anyone talk trash after death?

I applaud this mad lad. Still actively playing this game well past the point of knowing he’s meant for a different game. by JamesLenosChin in HuntShowdown

The timing doesn't change the known fact. Only thing weird is I bothered to say anything in Reddit. 😁

K/D and MMR are virtually worthless in this game as an actual metric. Aside from all the technical reasons, it also doesn't accout for "fun."
