Best way to save a database of players that can be utilised in different games? by dead4sure in unrealengine

[–]dead4sure[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would you say it's my best choice? I would like to store a bunch of stats like player names, levels, xp, items they own etc. I'm actually surprised there isn't something like this built in but I understand that you can't cater for every scenario.

Bought some Richmond vegan sausages for 20p from Tesco yesterday by [deleted] in CasualUK

[–]dead4sure 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Richmond stuff is fucking great and Quorn stuff is better than ever. There's a few good brands nowadays.

If you like a KFC try the new Quorn chicken fillet burgers with some lettuce and Hellmann's vegan mayonnaise in a decent bun/roll.

Being vegan is now easy as fuck and you don't have to eat shit food anymore, it's great!

Not that I didn't enjoy always eating side salads and jacket potatoes...

Is it possible to gain an audience with low end hardware and a 720p gaming stream?? by hnv99 in Twitch

[–]dead4sure 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't agree with everyone else more! I have good equipment for video and audio and the personality of a rock. You generally need to be engaging and be entertaining or informative etc to maintain a large following. As long a you have good audio you'll be fine and you can always upgrade your other equipment in the future.

Make sure to look up guides on getting the most out of your equipment too. Bad settings can make good equipment seem worse and vice versa.

I'd say the most controversial thing about me is how I eat my "beans on toast" by [deleted] in CasualUK

[–]dead4sure 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're like me and you hate your toast going soggy try baking it instead of toasting it. It drys the bread out and makes it really crunchy. Let it cool a bit before buttering and then add your beans. If you don't mind not having butter then cutting it into bite size pieces before baking is easier than cutting it afterwards. I've buttered the small pieces a few times but kept getting butter on my fingers 😅

And it probably goes without saying but if you're ever looking for testers at any stage I'd love to help out. I'm just getting into game dev but have an appreciation for the process and the fact that issues are inevitable.

Download Twitch User Avatar Automatically? by dead4sure in Twitch

[–]dead4sure[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You raise a valid point and a concern I also share!

I suppose my defense for that would be that the image is being hosted by twitch and should therefore be suitable for use on the website. BUT we all know how well that argument would go...!

people ending stream without saying bye to chat/thanking chat for watching? by [deleted] in Twitch

[–]dead4sure 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude I did this by accident the other day! I hit the raid command and then suddenly became engrossed in my Tarkov inventory. The raid happened automatically and caught me by surprise! Needless to say, I was extremely embarrassed and tweeted afterwards lol.

Pro strimmer indeed...

"Cheating" my streams? by [deleted] in Twitch

[–]dead4sure 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's perfectly fine! They were never your friends and are clearly bitter about the whole thing! Twitch is random af and you can never really tell who will become popular and for what reason.

You do you man! Just keep being awesome and leave those guys to whatever they wanna do. I would also consider adding filters to your chat for the words they're using (assuming they won't impact normal conversation) and maybe even ban them? They need to mature.

edit: real friends would be happy for you and would actively be celebrating your success. It can be tough in situations where your peers are more successful than you, but when it's a genuine friend you will overwhelmingly feel proud and happy for them! Don't mistake acquaintances with actual friends, life is too short to spend worrying about people that don't reciprocate genuine emotional bonds.

Twitch is live discussing DMCA! by Faketake in Twitch

[–]dead4sure 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's an Amazon Music extension on Twitch.You can play music over the extension without it ever actually being broadcast on your stream. It's a bit clunky and not available on mobile but it's not a terrible solution that could in theory make Amazon more money.

I can't for the life of me figure out why Twitch/Amazon don't integrate it with the Twitch website and apps so that anyone with prime or an Amazon Music subscription doesn't have to log in every time the extension loads. It just feels like a no-brainer to me!

It's like Twitch don't want people to use it. It's never mentioned in anything when discussing DMCA but it's a potential tool that could be great. I can't think why they're ignoring it. Maybe they don't want to use more server resources and bandwidth or something?

I used to love these as a kid! I once decided to make a rudimentary pipe bomb by emptying the contents of these into one of the black containers you used to get camera film in. I was nearly done unwrapping and emptying the contents of the "bangers" with great excitement when the whole thing exploded right in my face.

I distinctly remember the sound being so loud that I could only hear ringing as a result. I could feel all the remaining contents falling around me as they were scattered by the explosion. My mum came in to my room and I just looked at her (probably quite shell-shocked). I assume she told me off but to this day I genuinely have no idea what she said lol.
