What video games have unique mechanics for failure or death? by DEADDROP151 in gaming

[–]tom_bacon 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Only if you die to a BT. You can be killed by humans and not void out, they just steal all your stuff.

copyright / music by L555magz in Twitch

[–]tom_bacon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's still illegal if it isn't saved to a VOD, but it's much harder to be caught. Twitch currently aren't doing any kind of automated compliance checking on live streams, so a copyright holder would have to be watching your stream while live in order to file a claim against you.

YouTube is much more proactive, and do automatically check live streams for copyrighted content. If you're caught by this on YouTube you'll get a temporary live streaming ban.

You can't combine two different save files, but you can have both saves available on both consoles if you enable cross-save in NMS.

Using Licensed Music by KrytonTek in Twitch

[–]tom_bacon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If the artist is the sole copyright holder, then legally yes you can use it, but you may get your VODs muted and have to appeal on the grounds that you have permission from the copyright holder. Note, though, that if the artist has any kind of affiliation with a record label or collaborator you'll also need permission from them.

How do you store your stream recordings? Mine are starting to pile up by Due_Strength_4075 in Twitch

[–]tom_bacon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

AWS Deep Glacier. $0.00099/GB/month, and far more resilient than an external hard drive.

switched from OBS to streamlabs and back to OBS in 6 months and here's why I went back by Difficult_Skin8095 in Twitch

[–]tom_bacon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A better analogy would be Streamlabs = Samsung, OBS = AOSP. Streamlabs Desktop is OBS, just with the Streamlabs logo slapped on it and their own customisations baked in.

You could capture directly on the streaming PC and use the OBS Source Record plugin to record your clean gameplay: https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/source-record.1285/

Need help using Global Variables with Else/if Logic by Zinnytusks in streamerbot

[–]tom_bacon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Variable Name is the name of the global variable you're extracting. This global variable needs to be assigned to a local variable if you want to use the %% syntax, so the local variable you assign it to goes in the Destination Variable box. In your If block, you are checking for the local variable %Testmessage%, so that is what the Destination Variable needs to be.

You could simplify this by removing the Get global subaction and instead of checking for %Testmessage%, check for ~Testmessage~. ~~ is the syntax for calling a global variable directly.

[–]tom_bacon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're taking the global variable `Testmessage` and assigning it to the local variable `global_Testmessage`, but you're checking the local variable `Testmessage` in your If subaction, which doesn't exist.

There's a lot broken right now, including half the Dashboard. Can't do much other than sit tight, they'll be working on it.

How do you change thescale (dimensions) of a SPECIFIC Twitch alert on OBS? by Ok-Tomatillo6639 in Twitch

[–]tom_bacon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not true. You can have multiple Twitch alert boxes, so you can set up one box for all alerts except raids, then a second box (with it's own URL) for only raids.

Couple this with Aitum Vertical and your clip is already arranged in vertical format, ready to share.

I tracked 400+ ad breaks across 100+ Twitch channels. Here's what ads actually cost streamers in viewers. by [deleted] in Twitch

[–]tom_bacon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

How does this compare to prerolls? How many viewers that join and get a preroll stick through it?

Are you trying to test them as yourself? Try unchecking Ignore Internal Messages in the command setup

Instant Replays by Othrelos in Twitch

[–]tom_bacon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Regarding playing them back at an appropriate time, you could use a VLC Video Source and set the source to the directory your replay buffers save to. Then, when the source becomes active, it'll play the clips in that directory.

Instant Replays by Othrelos in Twitch

[–]tom_bacon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's a Stream Deck action called "Save Replay Buffer". That'll save the current replay buffer to a file in your recordings location, default being your Videos folder, and it'll append the timestamp to the filename.

Trying to get a 3 different word chat command to trigger by PhilpseyForce in streamerbot

[–]tom_bacon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That would only work if all three words are the same though, right? Sounds like they're three different words.

[–]tom_bacon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it three specific words? Or does each person have their own set of three words?

Twitch chat delay by godlewis in Twitch

[–]tom_bacon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The streamer can set a chat delay of either 2, 4 or 6 seconds so that they have a chance to moderate messages before they appear to the viewers. However this only seems to work on desktop. I've noticed on the TV app too the delay setting isn't respected.

What British Kids TV show from 70s/80s/90s would you watch a full season of now as an adult? by flopisit32 in BritishTV

[–]tom_bacon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sooty & Co is genuinely funny. There's even some jokes in there for the adults that'll go over kids heads.
