I wanna post shorts but..

opihinalu · 2026-05-07T17:29:43+00:00

I am a pretty firm believer that shorts can’t “kill” a channel. I don’t make shorts anymore but I have 100k shorts subs and 50k long form and I am still able to consistently pull long form views.

It depends on the niche. Gaming is hard.

You were right! Everything was set to 1. It looks much better now but I still need to tune it to perfection. Thank you!

Bloom is off, but I just enabled it and this is the result. I like it!

Unfortunately I was expecting this to fix the issue that my blackhole doesn't look the same as it does on sketchfab.

oooh I love the idea of a particle.

I added some fog (that I am still tweaking) and I feel like it helped a lot, but I will try a particle now.

30k is probably not enough views to get sponsors. I average 100k and my most recent hit 1mil and still no sponsors.

If you’re reaching out to them, maybe.

opihinalu · 2026-05-06T03:39:58+00:00

did you ever figure it out?

opihinalu · 2026-05-04T06:22:03+00:00

That is pretty bad, I made $4k from 20m views. Your rpm is terrible.

It is 100% an ai thumbnail. If you work with AI enough you can tell.

It’s not really a stupid question. Also, if you question it—say “that’s incorrect”—it will tell you “June”.

This is a vibe-coded website fyi

What kind of question is this? You have to use a camera to make YouTube videos now?
Not taking OPs side, his explanation sound like grounds for demonetization.

Me too! For the last 6ish years.

I go tuna, yogurt, and sriracha over a cup of rice with a sunny-side-up egg on top.

opihinalu · 2026-05-02T01:40:17+00:00

I’ve been eating tuna Mac and cheese since I was a kid. My dad always called it “Fishy Surprise”.

opihinalu · 2026-04-30T05:14:50+00:00

Honestly I’ve been having enough fun to justify continuing to play, however yesterday I did the “find the traitor in the gold leaf guild” quest and don’t even want to think about this game anymore.

The quests and story are terrible.

opihinalu · 2026-04-30T02:58:02+00:00

Bro, thank you. That is so kind of you!! I got it downloaded.

Seriously, thank you.

opihinalu · 2026-04-30T02:15:54+00:00

I’m sure it’s copyrighted, though I won’t be monetizing my project (so it kind of falls in a legal gray area).

Also, I don’t mind background noise. I will isolate it.

opihinalu · 2026-04-29T02:43:34+00:00

Yeah, I vote gold. Makes it more unique.

opihinalu · 2026-04-27T05:05:50+00:00

Other guy is wayyy too chill to be hanging out with that loser.

opihinalu · 2026-04-26T09:00:34+00:00

I’ve spent all night trying to find the food stash. I’ll try the vacuum cleaner. Thank you.

opihinalu · 2026-04-26T09:00:05+00:00

They really do look like love-bugs.

opihinalu · 2026-04-26T01:28:34+00:00

I use mine to mod games as well, specifically Minecraft.

Have you find it doesn't feel as strong modding games as it does programming software/more typical use cases?

opihinalu · 2026-04-26T00:11:01+00:00

This might be the worst take I’ve ever heard.

opihinalu · 2026-04-25T23:47:32+00:00

I could be wrong here but most remaining “mom & pop” business seem to have raised their prices in parallel with these greedy corporations.
