Hello all, I'm doing a survey about Esports Streams, for the purpose of research for part of my thesis dissertation for my master in management, and could really use your help with answers :) https://forms.gle/A5xequUhb6Dww12Y9
Hey @FrancoSinatra I believe you've requested this already, and repeating it and pinging everyone isn't the way forward. So don't do that please. You might have better luck posting it on https://www.reddit.com/r/streaming/ but don't do it repeatedly please.
Hi all, I'm looking for some quick responses (10 questions) in regards to prep you do before gaming and before streaming. You can find the survey here: https://forms.gle/qLk2C4Zc11q7k2EG8 Thanks in advance!
Has anyone seem this candy in the US? I can't find it anywhere

Haven't got it in the UK either, looks so good! You'll probably be able.to get it online?

I'll look online @Zeek @James! Apparently you can get it at Sheetz on the West coast, but we don't have that convenience store near me. I review all the new candies in America each week so I need these chocolate popcorn m&ms! lol 
I just saw them on gbgifts.co.uk think it was, only 2 in stock tho! They might have been a limited edition and discontinued.

Today I did a charity stream for Extra Life. I am a very small streamer (133 followers AFTER this stream). We had SUCH an amazing show from the community and my community was SO amazing and met and surpassed my $100 goal. I did this stream for 100 followers and I will do another one for 200 followers with a goal of $200! It just amazes me how a community can come together and do something truly good. I just wanted to share this for anyone who wants to do a charity stream but thinks they’re too small - because I did too.

My friend started a petition to get them back
Let me tell ya, Dell is not the move to order from at the moment. I ordered the Aurora R10, with specific part selection. I ordered it on the 29th of Jan. Today (the day it was supposed to be shipped) I was told it wouldn’t arrive until the 29th of March instead the 24th of Feb. So let’s just say, that order was cancelled

Apex is another option. I dont have a pc yet, but theyre who Im planning to buy from based off of reviews and suggestions from friends
I was looking at the Alienware Aurora, update on that situation. I was looking online and found pretty much the same specs I had. The Best Buy had it for curbside pickup. I bought it and I have it today. No hassle and only took a 15min drive. His name is Cecil (friend named him)
Don’t mind the wires, My house caught fire in November so this is a temporary setup until we move into the new house

i am soliciting input on an upcoming lil project i’m doing: what do you guys think is the worst video game controller of all time? 3rd party controllers are eligible as well.

I wouldn't add third party, because there is just straight up old trash from like MadCats and Power A that would win just because they don't even function

which do you guys think is better for streaming? pc or laptop?
So "PC" means "personal computer"... so... you're technically asking "which is better: a PC or a PC". I think you're asking whether a desktop is better than a laptop. A desktop is better than a laptop for streaming.

The fiance enjoys the newer model pro controller and has had it since launch no issues. Two friends got it and complain on drift, but are aggressive shooter players and I haven't seen the controller of theirs first hand xD (if that makes sense) I use the series x version controller and it also has worked great the whole time. Plus any of them can be plugged in with a USBC so that is nice.

Not a tough choice for me. Valheim.
Started that as a community thing two weeks ago. Playing it no monthly u til it’s “beaten” lots of fun so far. Need to fight that first boss tonight lol
@Shanecus he's an excellent Jedi! I used to grind all the battlefront games, love them all also nerd out for star wars. Actually wearing a boba fett shirt today lolol
I need to watch Kenobi tho now. Or did it get delayed o.O either way, ten points for boba
Yea, I missed classic survival build games a good amount. 90% of what I play is single player based so it is nice to just goof around with friends and enjoy a game world together.
That's what I love the most about it
If you had to play one game only for the next year what would it be?
Thats scary, probably minecraft which isn't entertaining

I'd rather play something entertaining FOR MYSELF, if I had to play it for an entire year
I need to watch Kenobi tho now. Or did it get delayed o.O either way, ten points for boba
Kenobie actually comes out tomorrow! I've been watching some clone wars episode to refresh my Obi Wan knowledge lol
Thats scary, probably minecraft which isn't entertaining
If you can make something entertaining to you, then you can make it entertaining for others. That’s the way I go about it. When making content focus on what you would enjoy and that will help you find the people that your community can grow around
I love Valheim, but I got to the 5th (current final?) boss and fully prepped, read up on tactics and thought I was ready I didnt see a mosquito come flying in and take out the last of my health when I had retreated to heal 
I tried a few runs back but kept dying, the current end area is brutal

@Sir_Mastas The best thing for that is consistency and reaching out to a few IRL friends if you can. Once you hit that minimum cap a lot of the AVG stress goes away. Of course focusing on content is the number one thing, but I feel that goes without saying lol. I saw you have June 5th as your next stream date so you already are working on that schedule. The only other thing I would say went starting out is don't over if trying for averages. A lot of people stream non stop to try and get people and you may have an hour with ten viewers but had seven more hours with one and then the average barely moves and can be demoralizing. Of course messsage with any questions and the such

Nice, it played good in the jeep so 10 points and a like on Spotify lol. Has a lot of changes to it but the back and forth on the acoustic to heavy is always a hit to me.

I NEED SOME NEW EFFIN' SHOES! I've been wearing Asics GEL-Cumulus 22 running shoes since they came out, but they end up wearing out so fast! I'm looking for a high-quality shoe that will last at least 8 months. I'm 5'11", 185lbs, with a slightly pronated stride. Right now, looking at Allbirds Tree Flyers, but I'm open to suggestions.

Yeah, but can it run Crysis?
One thing I am looking at is Webcams and haven’t been quite sure which one would be best to go for given that I’m streaming on Xbox at the moment. Last thing I want to be doing is winding up paying for something that isn’t compatible with the console

For sure amigo, and on the Xbox stuff I just used the cheapest one from Best Buy and it works well. Worked on the Xbox too. But it does only allow you to put it in certain places like the corners. PS4 uses a proprietary camera but the Xbox doesn’t.
Problem solved
I was thinking about this today... This is just canned soda pop. Can someone check my math?

Hey guys, I wanna start doing charity streams but twitch's accepted charities are mostly for domestic American issues. There are some good charities listed, but none of them are aid in Palestine specific. https://twitch.uservoice.com/forums/945934-charity?category_id=439186&query=Medical%20Aid%20for%20Palestinians If you have a twitch account, it takes 5 seconds to vote.
Do you stream for the broader English-speaking audience? If not, it may be a more effective to do some networking with people from your own country with the common goal of getting a relevant charity approved. But in my opinion, unless Twitch has set any stupid rules against anyone organizing their own charity streams (haven't seen anything yet), you should do your own thing for your own viewers
Content creation, streaming, v-tubing and digital creation in all it's aspects is an entirely new field. The first successful "modern" creators are reaching 10 years in their careers now, some are even retiring altogether after such a "short" time. We need a place like this to talk amongst ourselves about things we don't entirely understand, to be able to grow ourselves.

https://www.deviantart.com/team/journal/Create-your-own-AI-generated-art-with-DreamUp-933537821 If you're an artist this might be relevant to you: Deviant Art decided that all pictures on their platform are fair game to be used as datasets in their new generative art. If you do not want your Art to be "included" you have to manually opt-out. (via a Google Form that will be reviewed by a person and can be denied and is currently free or to quote: Currently, we'll be approving this ability for free to artists who are most likely to have been sourced by Stable Diffusion.)
I’m convinced there’s no such thing as too many webcams.

Are power adapters needed? USB hubs are always good to have (and since it's a mac, it's also good to have extra adapters between formats)
I added two tripp-lite surge protectors and a furman power conditioner. A hub for the MacBook is a good idea.
The room overlooks a busy transit area, and we're going to use the rooms shades to kind of filter out the details, but you will still see through them a bit.
So long as the chimes from the train don't "derail" things
Gotta have podcast branded mugs
Also, consider investing in a custom OBS setup with your friendly discordhood designer

I'll have to figure out how I can swing that
That's how I got on this project in the first place!
I use Clip Studio and can recommend it, the vector layers are super useful especially when starting out and I believe the EX version has really good animation stuff(?) Though Photoshop After Effects is supposed to be better if you dont want frame-by-frame animation. (I know you said not photoshop but maybe one section of photoshop is an idea)
Thanks for that, I more meant that I understand that Photoshop is among the industry standard options, I just didn't want to jump to a conclusion.
Gotcha, yeah I do frame-by-frame because I cant be bothered to get After Effects XD its fun though and does the job :3

I'm looking for some advice for my son. He's getting into digital art, more specifically 2D illustration and animation. I've bought him a drawing tablet/pen, but I'm looking for a good software to get him into. He's 8 but exceptionally computer-savvy for his age, and I'd like to get him into a software he can use in the real world. I'm looking at Toon Boom Harmony Advanced and Clip Studio Paint EX, but I'm curious if there are others I should be looking at. I have GIMP, Photoshop, and other professional tools available, but I don't necessarily want him to have to learn Photoshop, you know?
Krita is a platform independent FOSS drawing program. It's pretty good and there's a fair amount of additional tutorials available. Personally I'd say that CSP has a richer feature set but Krita can absolutely be used even in professional environments; so learning it will introduce him to various concepts. https://krita.org/en/
