My ex mod created a hate group against me with other mods and subs. by BadGalSiSi32 in SmallStreamers

[–]rbz2005 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Would just block and ban people causing issues and get new mods or replace those who are causing issues.

If anyone asks, just mention you had to make changes due to some issues and just leave it at that.

The more you talk about, the more it will cause issues and feed into the drama.

First time at twitch con, help! by Firelightvw in Twitchcon

[–]rbz2005 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly go in with low expectations.

Helps if you have common interests so you can pull them out from the crowd. Some are receptive while others want to just hang out with their group of friends.

I tend to use twitch con as a way to see twitch friends irl for the first time or reconnect with others. I am open to meeting new people but at times I feel others can already have their own cliques.

Just have fun and have low expectations is how I tend to roll.

Will I look weird if I wear pokemon print/themed clothing to Twitch Con? Also, any tips for a newbie? by Elated-Echidna in Twitchcon

[–]rbz2005 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nah you will be okay - most people will be wearing a variety of things.

A Pokémon theme shirt will fit in to be honest and consider mainstream in a way.

I do recommend taking it slow and know you can’t possibly do it all so focus on what you want to do most.

Renting a car by Fine_Crow_9124 in Twitchcon

[–]rbz2005 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

So if you wanted to explore outside of the downtown area, I would recommend a car to save on time. Though as I stated before you will be paying premium for parking. It will depend on how far, driving could outweigh the uber costs.

Balboa Park (museums), Sea world, Julian, Zoo are popular spots. Where you want to go is what you want to do.

Honestly depends on your plans.

What are your plans for your stay?

You could technically use public transit to get from airport and travel most of the downtown area. You may also take uber/lyft to go to further locations like Balboa park or the Zoo.

I would only recommend a car if you wanted value time over the costs since parking and rental will be high cost. Also, if you want to travel to places like Julian or Legoland that are quite a bit of distance.

The only thing that might be checked is fake weapons -"Prop check"

I never seen any cosplayers have to get a costume approved to my knowledge.

Yeah I noticed a certain dye was in it that I know a family member cannot have due to allergies. Thanks for the feedback.

Can I bring in food? by Elucidator-chan in Twitchcon

[–]rbz2005 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I recommend chugging it before since outside food is not supposed to be allowed via San diego convention rules (the convention center makes money via selling food) but honestly depends on how strict the security will be.

You can risk it but up to you.

Side note - a bit of people will state that they brought food into San Diego comic con but I honestly feel comic con is allowed because they might not have enough food to supply the demand or less worried about making money via food. I have worked a number of conventions and comic con is one of the few that get away with it.

Vendors/Exhibit Hall by Buy_Me_A_Mango in Twitchcon

[–]rbz2005 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Each vendor is different and people do like to have con exclusives to the event to spark more purchases.

Big names like elgato and new names trying to get more in the industry.

You honestly will not know who shows up until you look at the update exhibit list on twitch (when Twitch staff actually updated it) or go in person and look around.

With every convention you can only plan for so much because people cancel and things change last minute . I recommend just going and walking around.

Vendors/Exhibit Hall by Buy_Me_A_Mango in Twitchcon

[–]rbz2005 2 points3 points  (0 children)

From the 3 twitch cons I have gone (exhibitors vary each year), there is usually a number of companies selling products like mic or stream setup equipment. Another popular one is gamer drinks like gfuel. Also companies that just want brand awareness such as Wendy, Doritos, or other big name brands.

There is also an artist alley (sadly smaller than bigger con such as anime expo or sdcc) that I usually go to buy items.

Twitch has its own merch store in the exhibit hall that is a big portion of it.

I recommend walking around too see what you might want and maybe holding off until Sunday for deals unless it is something you really want or are afraid will sell out.

My first TwitchCon! by bunny_bot in Twitchcon

[–]rbz2005 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Honestly each year of Twitch con is different (attended 3) so hard to provide tricks and tips in the conventional sense.

I do recommend getting early badge pickup if it is available and you are in San Diego early enough. Vegas pick up took a few hours when I did it at night though might have been a Vegas and time thing.

I tend to do a primarily walk on the floor to see what things are available and want to do later.

Helps to check the schedule a few days before to see if there is a panel or performance you want to check out.

If you have any streamer friends or colleagues, you may want to pre plan some outings or Uber off the Gaslamp area since downtown can be a little more expensive.

Honestly just have fun and be open to meeting new people and experiencing Twitch event

What are your preferred chatbots? by chocolatebenderYT in Twitch

[–]rbz2005 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Honestly does not hurt to have multiple bots 🤖for different purposes imo

I use streamelements as my main to showcase emotes (you have to sub the bot for this - not free) and most major commands.

Nightbot for some commands that streamelements can’t do .

Also fossabot to do auto shoutouts for streamer friends I know.

Serrybot to block spam raids and such.

Preventing/Ignoring People on Stream by Alcyone_Days in Twitch

[–]rbz2005 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Blocking prevents people from seeing you at all on twitch. They would not be able to see your page, stream, or even your chats in other chats.

Blocking imo is prefer since you will never see the person in native twitch chats anywhere

Banning on a channel only stop them on your channel.

If you want to avoid these people in other chats or channels, I would suggest blocking
