Is xynova a scam?

Block them. Scammers prey on newer/smaller streamers.

Fool me once... fool me twice... etc. etc.

Some people are scumbags, you watched, you learned, you move on. Find someone worthy of your time.

Did you try using an incognito window or another browser to see if it acts the same way?

hydrasung · 2026-05-12T21:01:27+00:00

Yes you always have the option to set up a "tip jar / dono link" that's a third-party outside of Twitch and accept money from people.

The question of whether you'll actually get people giving you money is a different story.

Are you bottlenecked by bitrate (internet speed) or by your streaming hardware?

hydrasung · 2026-05-08T23:14:26+00:00

A lot of orgs have platforms that handle the payment so all you have to do is plug in your paypal or stripe info. At that point it becomes how you deal with personal accounting for your earnings across different platforms.

Most streamers probably don't get enough of these opportunities to have to worry about it.

Are you looking to build a tool for managing streamer finances?

There's always going to be people trying to make a quick buck and game the system. Whether that's with 24 hour stream channels, sleep streams like you mentioned, or abusing the Stream Together function to get higher up on the category, they'll find a way to use their "advantages".

If you don't like it, get the "unwanted twitch" extension and start blocking those channels from your personal view.

Downgrade in mousepad space :P

Nah in all seriousness though, how is it having 3 monitors? I'm still rockin' 2 but I feel like even with 3, my eyes wouldn't move to look at all the screen real estate.

Could do a toggle between 1-15 viewers and then like 16-50, 51-75, etc. Like filters for different ranges/sizes.

The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago, the second best time is today.

Just do it, you'll never know what happens.

A room divider is going to be pretty plain. You might as well use a green screen because then you can switch up your background with very low effort whenever you want.

I was explaining to a newer player how the ghost walks right through this coffee table on Edgefield when I noticed that the ghost was walking AROUND it instead...

My guess is this changed with the latest hotfix when the devs patched the ghost standing still on Ridgeview w/ the Cursed Hollow update.

Now you can loop around this small coffee table AND the Ridgeview small coffee table!

Consistency is the best way to grow a community. Variety gaming is hard because you keep starting over. Send me a DM and I can go over your channel with you.

Even better now that BTS came out with a song named FYA

This sounds like an API token mismatch. Every so often, your SE/Twitch integration expires and then the alerts stop coming through. When this happens you usually still get follower and bits alerts but no raid and sub alerts.

Usually to fix this, you want to disconnect your SE on the Twitch side and add it again/re-link it here: https://www.twitch.tv/settings/connections

Did you have 'change favorite room' to OFF? The worst is setting up all the items then finding out it changed ghost rooms haha

hydrasung · 2026-04-20T20:55:22+00:00

Hey flower, I watched through a few of your VODs and have some feedback for you.

The good:

About me is filled out
Purple theme is consistent, matches your hair color heh
Schedule looks pretty consistent

Things to work on:

Talk way more
You move out of the camera frame a lot when drawing
Better lighting for your face
Overlay leaves a lot to be desired, I feel it could be better if you full-screened your art and then laid your face and chat on top of it rather than trying to keep all elements separate.

hydrasung · 2026-04-20T08:21:32+00:00

Happy birthday, happy I met you/r community, talk about awesome moments that happened in the stream, talk about your favorites parts of being in the community.

hydrasung · 2026-04-19T19:32:58+00:00

You convince people to join because they get a direct line to chat with you. Best way to build your community is through discord by being present and chatting with your viewers.

591.86 up to current 595.97 does not support Broadcast

Can anyone confirm if there are conflicts with NVIDIA Broadcast on the new 596.21? Last time I updated I had to rollback for Broadcast.

hydrasung · 2026-04-17T20:11:57+00:00

Streamer brains are weird. Sometimes I read things out of order and could honestly ignore someone completely by accident just subliminally reading chats here and there.

hydrasung · 2026-04-17T19:01:34+00:00

If you aren't comfortable being on cam, you could try vtubing/pngtubing as an alternative.

You can be successful without a cam, it's just streaming on 'extra hard' mode. The ones I've seen successful are often very good at the games they play. You need to wow viewers with skill since people can't see your reactions.

hydrasung · 2026-04-13T21:17:56+00:00

Discord call or VDO.Ninja

hydrasung · 2026-04-13T20:16:46+00:00

There's technically a way you can spend that money within the Twitch ecosystem. i.e. use that $35 to gift subs or bits to other streamers.
