A laptop is key @CorceTV
8:13 PM
I do cooking streams, and I'm getting into them a lot, but I do mix it with gaming. Two reasons for that.
8:13 PM
1) Food is expensive.
8:13 PM
2) I also want my channel to be about gaming, because that is also part of my personality.
8:14 PM
But honestly, a decent laptop with OBS, and then a $30 ring light from Wal-Mart with a phone holder on it, and you've got a good setup for cooking.

ah solid tip thanks!

There's a lot that goes into it, from lighting to camera angle. Mainly, people want to see your cutting board, your pans, and you

untitledcookingkitchen 9/9/2020 3:47 AM
I run with 720-1080, but I can get away with that because I'm a niche market and I have 1080 cameras where they need to be

bitrate for stream not webcams

Look up configuration guides, most of them have sections explaining what bitrates you should use
3:51 AM
And if you don't wanna use a webcam, at least do your best to improve your mic/audio quality.
3:53 AM
Audio quality is often overlooked, because people think that good graphics/resolution/playing all the new games would have a bigger impact on their channels
Avatar
i know for the mic part i just don't have the money but when i do i will. yeah audio i have heard is a big thing and i like some pointer for where to look as there mixed info for both
Avatar
One thing I should note, I'm not saying you need the most expensive mic to improve your voice, or any other expensive gadget. Do some research and test things out to see what works the best for you.

I got a friend with a super expensive mic... That never learned how to use it, so it doesn't make any difference.

avg view count is always the hardest one to fulfill

I think that, instead of number of followers, having reached affiliate (or not), or numbers like subs/tips, average view count could be one of the more reliable ways to evaluate growth performance of a channel (provided you have been streaming regularly for the amount of time you intend to evaluate)
3:38 PM
Should be a good indicator of quality consistency

damn alright i really suck at this then

Probably not, you stream way more than me, your ratios should be way higher than mine.

RefereeClark 9/11/2020 3:39 PM
It just takes some time. I was fortunate enough to have a following from doing pro wrestling stuff before I jumped in.
Avatar
Actual IRL pro wrestling? Or a game?
Avatar
RefereeClark 9/11/2020 3:42 PM
IRL pro wrestling! I referee for a lot of independent promotions around the US
3:42 PM
Or well did. Covid kind of put things on the shelf.

You have me interested! Would I have seen you somewhere? Spill the beans!
Avatar
RefereeClark 9/11/2020 3:43 PM
My main companies are Freelance, F1rst Wrestling, and Game Changer Wrestling.
3:43 PM
I've popped up at other random places too. Just depends on who I'm traveling with!

What made you get into this? It sure is something you don't see every day! Not here at least

RefereeClark 9/11/2020 3:44 PM
I was a life long fan and a school opened up just down the road from me. Two of my trainers were at the WWE so I figured it'd be legit. I initially trained to be a wrestler but honestly it was pretty hard on my body.
Avatar
It always seems so, yeah. Pretty intense stuff.
Avatar
RefereeClark 9/11/2020 3:45 PM
Yeah. Even reffing is quite a workout.
Avatar
I imagine you have to be able to keep up at the very least to make sure you can reff properly
Avatar
RefereeClark 9/11/2020 3:46 PM
Yes Lot of staying out of everyone's way, checking to make sure they're not legit hurt.
3:47 PM
And working around cameras, if I'm doing an iPPV also working with like a headset to keep matches on time.
Avatar
Is there a lot of 'acting' getting hurt, like they do in soccer over here?
Avatar
RefereeClark 9/11/2020 3:48 PM
Absolutely but it's usually to add drama to the match. If something's off, even the crowd will feel it.
Avatar
I bet the crowd has seen a match or two where things went wrong. But your eyes will be the very best at it, since you're calling the shots (edited)
Avatar
RefereeClark 9/11/2020 3:50 PM
Yup! Concussions happen. Had a super grisly injury happen on one show.
Avatar
Yikes
Avatar
RefereeClark 9/11/2020 3:52 PM
Yeah they're never fun. The crowd is pretty understanding though if the match gets called off.
Avatar
That's good at least!
Avatar
RefereeClark 9/11/2020 3:53 PM
It's also surreal to see a lot of friends now on regular TV. That's been one of the more rewarding parts.
Avatar
maaliktomtom 9/11/2020 3:55 PM
Ello all
Avatar
Do you think you'd ever want to get into a match again? Maybe in a league of some sort which demands less of your body?
Avatar
RefereeClark 9/11/2020 4:07 PM
Good question! My main coach has occasionally suggested it. I'd need an opponent I can trust since they'd have to help carry the match.
4:08 PM
But since I've had the training, when a show has comedy matches, we'll do a bit like everyone picks up the bad guy for a slam including me.
Avatar
Comedy matches are a thing? o3o

RefereeClark 9/11/2020 4:09 PM
Absolutely! One of the best ones I witnessed was, no kidding, an invisible man vs an invisible man.

Was anyone on stage?
Avatar
RefereeClark 9/11/2020 4:09 PM
The referee was! So it was all on him to make the match make sense.

I don't know the rules on links otherwise I'd drop it.

We're doing Discord now. We've got one new player whose in the US so it's easier and safer.
4:59 PM
We're doing 5e, and we're having a lot of fun so far. I get good reactions after most sessions.
Avatar
RefereeClark 9/11/2020 5:00 PM
5e is awesome especially for folks new to d&d
Avatar
I let the players try out homebrew things to test out, since they're into that sort of things.
5:01 PM
For some things it's a bit difficult to make encounters against, but I'm managing decently so far!
Avatar
RefereeClark 9/11/2020 5:02 PM
Finding that balance as a DM seems hard. I've had a few where if one of us didn't die, it was a poor session. And others would throw some challenges and just roll with whatever wackiness ensued.
Avatar
You gotta' read into what your group wants and what kind of players you have.
5:03 PM
I've got one min-maxing player, one who doesn't do a lot and just goes with the flow and one who isn't interested in most RP parts of the game.
5:03 PM
Meaning my game for these three has to be more combat centric, keep RP to a minimum and only use it as a vessel to set up new things for them to do.
5:04 PM
And because they don't really RP or explore, I have to railroad them
5:04 PM
If I didn't, they'd be lost.
Avatar
RefereeClark 9/11/2020 5:04 PM
Ah! My current group is fairly RP heavy. Honestly it's an excuse for us to use silly voices to get each other to laugh.
Avatar
I let them do their own thing once, and they were stuck for the entire session and didn't have a good time.
Avatar
RefereeClark 9/11/2020 5:05 PM
Oof. I think once or twice our DM would drop a "with your keen sense of adventuring, you think x would be wise". Otherwise he has maybe a few bullet points tops.
Avatar
I eventually did help them across because one of the players was getting cranky and it was bringing the mood down, but it taught me what kinds of things to not expect of them.

Hey @BennayTee! You're a chef, right? I just got into using cauliflower rice (grated cauliflower) to replace regular rice to get a few less carbs in my diet and I was wondering if you had some ideas for recipes to use this grated cauliflower in? Right now I fried it up in a little splash of olive oil, added a delicious pangarius filet and added some soy sauce.

Bunch of people looking to check it out. Also the bigger streamers werent live this morning >:]
4:13 PM
Actually it's a little disheartening to have had that many visitors and very few chatters lol
4:14 PM
But also I kept having to wait for my friends to get their shit together and queue up with me so I saw massive viewer drops at those points. Downfall of playing with friends, i suppose. No action happening, people leave

Better than having no viewers shrug

@eyezak always think to yourself, would you watch what youre streaming? Are you networking as much as possible? Whats your profile pictute on twitch? Is your lighting good? Is your mic good? Do you sit up when you game or do you slouch?
