I am now officially a Twitch streamer!
Apr. 4th, 2026 05:46 pmWhen I first prepared to make my second attempt at streaming this afternoon, fate continued to throw things at me. The OBS acted up and the game capture stopped capturing, though thankfully the display capture ultimately showed it would do. And it was a very good thing that the links I posted in a couple of discords did get me a watcher, since otherwise I might never have noticed the microphone had turned itself off! Some other people came in too, though unfortunately they were all trying to scam me or hit on me. (Actually conversed with the first of them, until the one proper viewer told me not to. I suppose I was still naive enough to assume even the not-bot scammers would make themselves more obvious more quickly.) I need to locate the ban hammer at some point. But all in all, I think things went quite well. The sound seemed fine, I think I kept that one good viewer throughout(which was one more than I honestly thought there would be!), and I think I did well enough at talking for my first time.
Now I just have to find a new video editor, one at least good enough to trip the VOD and edit together the highlights from my test recordings to go up on YouTube, since I can no longer find my code for the video editor I had on the old computer, and I can't seem to find where to buy a new version of it. I may or may not end up paying for whatever I use, but I'd have to think it at least as good as that one.
