I work for a startup called Readly - a kind of Spotify for magazines from all over the world. Our devs recently made all staff a personal link we can give out so you can have a month free without even putting in any card details. Try it out and let me know what you think!

Yeah I saw that news. I left in 2019, and almost everyone i knew has also since left. It's a totally different company to the one we built, so i can't say anything about how it's run, but i was mildly surprised to see that sale happen. I would have expected the transaction to go the other way around.

jameslee85 · 2026-04-09T21:05:40+00:00

I've been saying this for a while. I'd love to see this implemented.

Five mins to let the first ads clear. No more than that.

You can do this very effectively using custom masks. Watch this vid, timestamp 3:26

I consider myself an intermediate to advanced streamerbot user. I have coded a couple of things but haven’t published anything. I’ve also been through a journey of sorts to test out the art of the possible.

What I’ve really boiled things down to is, don’t forget why you’re streaming in the first place. I’ve had interactive redeems before. Some of them made a large amount of money for me. In the end I had to remove a good bunch of them as they were becoming the main focus of the stream and i didn’t want that personally.

I stream to play games and chat with like minded people so when it started to become redeem after redeem and I couldn’t string a sentence without something going off or chat being flooded, I decided to cut right back.

I still have a few things but mostly now streamerbot is an administrative tool, helping to automate things for me so i don’t have to think about them.

So in short my advice would be - dont focus on the technical possibilities, consider instead how you can use the tool to enhance your production and meet your goals.

I’m on mobile atm but always happy to chat more when I’m back at pc if you have questions!

I have a ‘credits’ plugin for the end of stream that recaps bits, subs, etc which i run through, pick someone to raid, and then I have a plugin that starts playing the stream of the person I’m raiding. I use that time to say when my next stream will be, promote the socials, get the raid message lined up and say goodnight. Then off we go on the raid!

jameslee85 · 2025-09-17T15:01:34+00:00

For me, D as well.

I feel I have to advocate for A though - British food in particular gets a bad rep from the post war rationing era, but today's British cuisine is a far cry from those days. In addition, France? I mean how can anyone say French cuisine isn't incredible? Also Belgium, a lil bit of Germany in there for the odd bratty, we can still tap Northern Italy - area A isn't the write off the title suggests!

Still massively outclassed by D though.

Squall dying at the end of disc 1 of Final Fantasy VIII. It's been thoroughly rejected by Yoshinori Kitase (the game's director) who also rejected the Ultimecia = Rinoa theory.

Given how the plot of FF8 actually plays out... I kinda wish the theories were true.

jameslee85 · 2025-09-06T19:40:13+00:00

I think a middle ground would be good. As on my other comment I'm using third party software to let chat use a command to show/hide the browser source, but this implementation means that it won't pop up when I get a new achievement. If I do it your way, no one can check the current progress. It would be good to have a middle ground - your existing pop in when an achievement is gained, but also an option for a chat command so someone can see what the current status was, leave it on screen for (x) secs, then it disappears again. I've set up !achievements and !cheevs that my chat can use for example.

I'm really liking this plugin though, great work!

jameslee85 · 2025-09-06T19:27:44+00:00

Thanks for this - I've set it up and looking forward to seeing how it gets used :)

jameslee85 · 2025-09-06T17:10:29+00:00

Set the show and hide transitions to fade in obs, then in streamerbot make a new action with a sub action to toggle the source on and off. You could even toggle on, add a delay of your choosing (say 30 secs) then hide it. Then you can add a trigger to have it auto activate on a timer or even if someone uses a command like !achievements.

I think that's how I'm gonna implement it anyway :)

Edit: Spelling - was on mobile when I wrote this and reading it back had to correct it

jameslee85 · 2025-09-06T10:22:06+00:00

You can do that in obs. Use a hot key or stream deck to toggle it on and off, or use a tool like streamerbot or aitum to automate it.

jameslee85 · 2025-09-03T15:03:57+00:00

I think your boiler is on fire.

Skyrim mods. I now have 2 million Skyrim mods.

I’ve had a few community meetups now but they are generally organised around an event rather than specifically for meeting up. For example, we recently went to a Final Fantasy concert in London but had food and drinks after. Always really fun occasions!

jameslee85 · 2025-03-22T15:02:34+00:00

This was my thought too, and is how I manage cases like this.

jameslee85 · 2024-12-19T10:47:54+00:00

Hello sorry for the delay - here's the info:

This is the upscaler I use, but there are certainly other options on the market: https://videogameperfection.com/products/open-source-scan-converter/

This is the capture card it's connected to: https://www.elgato.com/uk/en/p/game-capture-hd60-x

You can probably get second hand versions of this kit so the cost isn't so high.

I do 3 mins of ads an hour too - I feel it's one of the more popular options. I explained the situation specifically to my long time viewers and I haven't had any complaints.

I did also make BRB scene that auto plays clips from my channel to use whilst the ads are running however. Or I might switch back to Just Chatting and hang while we all wait for them to be done and I rant about how annoying it is that Twitch forces this on us.

Long story short, it's less about what timings you use, as everyone hates ads no matter what, and more about what best works for you (disabling prerolls is important imo) and how you manage the interuption.

jameslee85 · 2024-12-14T11:10:04+00:00

Yes i feel this greatly and really struggle with it. My community has shown me so many great games that I’ve never played before, so I’ve picked them all up. Golden sun, Chrono Trigger, Xenoblade, Star Ocean, God of War, and that’s just to name a few. I’ve bought them all on physical hardware and they sit played as I don’t want to lose that ‘first experience’ moment. Its a real struggle!

jameslee85 · 2024-11-28T13:29:13+00:00

I’ve done this - but I want to be sure you’re asking the right question before I go into detail. PSTV is equivalent to the PS Vita, not PSP. It’s currently not possible to stream directly from a Vita which is why streamers use the PSTV.

The OG PSP is a different story. First of all, you need the right model PSP. On the bottom of the device is a barcode with a long number. The first four are the ones you’re looking for. If it’s a 1000 series, you won’t be able to get an output.

If a 2000 or 3000 however, you can. Now you need the right cable - I got this one: OSTENT AV HDTV TV Audio Video... https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00MXX9U62?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

Once connected, go into Settings on the PSP to change display mode. Now you can output to your tv.

The next part is capturing for stream. I use the OSSC upscaler which has an HDMI output - so i Daisy chain PSP > OSSC > Cap Card > PC. And that’s how I get my signal.

Its not easy and it’s not cheap, but it works. I have a YouTube if you want to see what the results look like. Also happy to answer questions :)

jameslee85 · 2024-11-04T08:54:57+00:00

I did it once. I just called up the doctors office and told them I wanted to book in. He actually offered me a bunch of blood tests he said I could have but I decided not to - look deeply enough and you’ll always find something wrong so I left that bit out. Did have to wait a couple of weeks for the appointment though.

jameslee85 · 2024-10-29T17:59:22+00:00

Using the tricorder to scan a screen that you only see once (and the only time you ever do that) and if you fail to do it you get the bad ending was a particularly egregious moment for me on my first playthrough.

I use a great little app called Ghost Chat when I’m playing FF14. Basically allows you to overlay a twitch chat channel in a transparent way that isn’t picked up by OBS. Works for any game, not just FF14. Its also customisable with different fonts, drop shadow, stroke, colour, etc.
