My favorite games
The game that won the poll each time I opened the stream, i'd switch it up every hour depending on the gameplay.
I'd try to have a main game that I put YT vids of up as well as to base a schedule around.
be born a girl
I would just rip-off saltybet
No commentary, no facecam, poll of several games. I want to be a stream some guy looks at on the xbone store stream tab when he wants to see how the game plays before he buys
I would stream these
Stream whatever game without a facecam and talk about whatever comes to mind while drunk off vodka.
>>342146446
t. actual streamer
Ialready do thisand just play games with no facecam and whoever wants to come watch thats cool. Obviously you can't make any money if you're not trying to hit demographics and use marketing tactics or whatever the fuck, so who knows.
Twitch partners aren't wholly as cancerous as people making a living off Youtube, but it's starting to get there.
>>342146228
>implying celebrity streamers get to play what they want
I would be stuck playing casual games or fotm meme games
>>342146228
Whatever was popular, followed by something to set myself apart.
Probably with a significant amount of debasing myself including but not limited to:
>dying my hair on stream
>wearing stupid constumes
>e-begging
>pandering like a faggot to my subs/donators
>stopping the stream constantly to jerk off donators/subs
Basically it would be a horrible life. I'd rather stock shelves at a grocery store than debase myself to fucking retards for money.
>>342147385
i think you mean non-celebrity
someone like lirik can play barbie's dream house for 20k people
certified gangsta anon. /v/ anons dont need 2 do tis gay shit. they can wish $$$ into existance n shit wid da big chrome dick. anons 2 busy makin bicthes wyt 2 b payin attenshun 2 gay ass streamn
kep shininh anon u fuckin badass
I'd re-stream a camgirl wearing a veil and use my mic to dub over it so it seems like she's interacting with the viewers
>>342146228
Well I'd try to be a personality. Some people play whatever they want and people will watch them regardless. If I failed at that I would be forced to either carve out a niche or hop from fotm-fotm.
>>342147384
Twitch is a much worse viewing experience than youtube.
>broadcaster stuck
>won't take advice
>won't read chat
>every single time someone tries to help get nailed with "NO BACKSEATING"
>Donation pop ups constantly
>Sub and follower pop ups constantly
>breaks
>overlays with shit like G2A and other just generally atrocious overlays
>gameplay always a sidething, since chat interaction is the most important
Twitch "culture" encourages an incredibly horrid viewing experience.
>>342147765
>won't read chat
>gameplay always a sidething, since chat interaction is the most important
ok
>I sometimes click a game I'm interested in watching and scroll down to people with less viewers

too bad my toaster prevents me from streaming anything.
>>342146228
I wouldn't be one of those true heroes who get good at one game and stream it everyday like babayetu.
I'd mess around a bit more, but I'd probably return to a few games. Like some 4x, grand strat.
Right now I'd stream wc2 though. Couldn't get OBS to work for livestream so had to switch to twitch. I have a group of internet friends that have been streaming games and movies to eachother.
I think if you're making twitchbucks you tend to get stuck either doing that one game that gives you a lot of views, or you jump from flavor of the month to flavor of the month.
>>342147868
Most streamers are real shit at keeping up with chat -and- playing the game. So it usually becomes:
>long periods of "catching up" with chat
followed by:
>long periods of gameplay with minimal reading of chat (usually only donations/subs/followers)
>>342146228
JRPGs because I don't think there are many people streaming that.
No facecam, no subscriptions. People who want to watch could watch without paying and if people want to donate they could donate.
Would try my best on runs that aren't first playthroughs to do research and give interesting information throughout as well as showing off as much of the game as possible.
>>342147765
Have 2500 subs since last night. Going pretty well. Only thing that is annoying is the fact that twitch takes a % from total donations at the end of each week now. Fucking jews I swear
>>342146228
Dota 2 with my fail stack of shit friends
We're all bad, we all rege and get salty as fuck at eachother and everything around us. I think it could be entertainment worthy.
>>342148308
Post your twitch if you're so great.
>>342148208
Then you'd be better off on youtube I think.
>>342148397
I'll never understand willingly putting yourself through a shit experience like playing salty dota
>>342148487
Yeah, I'm working on that.
I ask in every youtube thread if anyone knows why my Elgato software won't recognize my good graphics card because now its the one thing holding me back from getting videos made.
>>342148610
Probably the biggest channel I'm aware of doing what you want to do is hcbailley. He seems relatively successful, might be worth stealing some ideas from.
I'd love to stream, just as a passtime or something so I can actually interact with people, but
>Shit internet
>Lot of background noise that's out of my control, so no mic
>Not a fan of facecam, they just obstruct the view
>single monitor, so won't be able to watch chat and play at the same time
Doubt anyone would want to watch a no-microphone stream of somebody else playing something
Apologize.
I'd do a variety of things and try to do chat interaction with things like naming characters, deciding a path for games with multiple routes, etc.
I've honestly been trying to stream, I'm just incredibly bad at actually streaming.
>>342147765
>no backseating
Understandable to a degree. I'd want to figure things out for myself too.
Now if people wanted to give hints when I appear to be lost or stuck, that's cool. I just don't want someone to try to tell me how to play or to give away the answer.
>>342148454
I'm always scared to openly invite the cancer in since I spout dank memes all day
I wanna play demos of games that /v/ has made. Too bad no one posts much.
>>342149276
go back to /tv/
>>342146228
if you arent already big now dont even try
just stream to have fun
>when your mic is waaay to quiet the whole time and no one says anything
have we all switched over to OBS studio?
>>342149070
>background noise
theres a noise gate thing for that
>face cam
i almost prefer no face cam most of the time
>single monitor
do you have a smart phone or a tablet or something?
>shit internet

>>342148308
>2500 subs
how
im trying to use twitch raw (not asking friends to watch)
its horrible
just broke 1000 views last week and not even 200 follows in 8+ months of streaming
>>342151369
he doesn't. there are less than 50 personal streamers on twitch with that amount of subs.
>LUL
the worst emote
>>342151260
Noise gate won't stop people shouting in close proximity. Got some obnoxious neighbours who like to either shout, or play the same music track on repeat at maximum volume.
Don't have anything good regarding smart phone or such, so flat out on that
I wouldn't.
Pure fucking hot garbage cancer that appeals to screaming 14 year olds.
Pretty much what I stream now, but at a consistent, full time schedule.
I'd get an emotionally needy girlfriend and make her play League of Legends wearing skimpy clothes.
>>342152394
why hasnt someone hired a bunch of grills do do this?
rent large apartment
>make a bunch of rooms
>??????
>profit
Really, look how many "hot girls" are on twitch
http://twitchgrills.com/top-streamers/
and watch the number who have actually a decent amount of viewer
i wish people would just fucking say something if there is something wrong
>>342146228
You have to have
-Cam
-Good stream equipment
-Stream all the time to build audience, can take years to get a good viewerbase, Shortcuts are knowing bigger streamers to help you
-Must be entertaining
>>342152830
Also being female = auto success isnt true fyi. Ive seen a few female streamers and they are either lacking in personality or looks which hinders their growth and they have minimal viewership too
>>342152504
Might as well just run a brothel at that point, you'd probably make more money
Do what works
Scream like a manchild, act like a retarded millennial who thinks playing video games all day is hard work and only play nothing but MOBAS

DayZ? I think I've seen this.
>>342154921
It is nice to offload resources though. Especially in games that are especially CPU intensive like Skyrim.
By no means is it necessary most of the time though, I agree. I'd still like to get one though, since a streaming slave PC doesn't really cost that much to throw together.
>>342150258
>Scared to openly invite cancer
>Is a meme spouting faggot
There's no need to invite what's already there.
>sex change to woman with big tits
>have facecam
>play some generic pop or EDM over the stream
>proclaim self to be "real gaming girl" while playing Dota 2 or CS:GO
>have some sort of name for my followers
>announce EVERY SINGLE DONATION OR FOLLOW with an BIG FUCKING BANNER AND CALLOUT
In reality, I'd just stream games I'm interested in without a facecam, and hope my shitty "humor" is entertaining. Maybe build a community if I get a decent amount of viewers.
Basically, what Vinesauce has been doing for about half a decade.
>>342146228
Become a trap.
>>342146228
'obscure' stuff like YN, probably stealth games i'm fairly decent at those, or VR stuff.
i'd also do it through a proxy and use an avatar cause sometimes people can be nasty fuckers.

And I have a gf, stop bullshitting.
>>342146228
>If you had to make a living off twitchbucks
I'd fucking kill myself.
But if that is not an option for you, then I'd probably start speedrunning some popular Nintendo stuff.
>>342146228
The best Twitchbux come from opening crates and letting people pay $3 a second to play youtube videos. Also gets you on the main stage of Dreamhack apparently.
>>342155670
i have an old amd phenom 2 x4 955 system laying around
is that enough to capture?
>>342156274
I don't see why it wouldn't. You just wouldn't be able to likely use a slower preset for better quality in OBS because AMD CPUs aren't all that great compared to i7s for encoding.
You have to become absolute cancer to even make chump change extra spending money. It's a service run on the backs of not teenage viewers, but pre-teenage viewers. Enjoy sculpting a """""character""""" out knowing that. It just isn't worth dissolving your soul over. Go work at McDonald's instead.
To go quote-unquote big time? Forget it. The time has passed. Get a sex change and literally flash your tit gap and sometimes cunt on stream and MAYBE you'll get some desperate Arabs or Russians to throw singles at you every now and then.
>2k16

>>342156791
I'm surprised you didn't say
>2k16
>not recording PC games only
its the only way to make video game footage look decent
>>342156890
PC games 1080p 60 fps still look kinda shitty
>>342156791
Recording 1440p/60 FPS is pretty much essential.
Too bad 720p/60 FPS is still the best you'll ever get with streaming for now.
>>342157153
1440p is good
>>342146228
By killing myself Twitch streaming sounds like hell for anyone that doesn't have the mental age of a child
>>342146228
Oh god I'd be terrible at it. All I do is play against easy AIs in RTSs and the occasional MMO or JRPG. Fun for me but not to watch.
That or casual singleplayer stuff like Skyrim.
>>342156791
isn't anything above 1080/60fps a waste due to twitch's bitrate?
>>342157618
a waste for twitch
it only improves everything except for twitch
>>342157618
720p/60 2500
1080p/60 4500
>>342146228
I'm sure some casuals would love to see me play Helldivers and Red Orchestra, DayZ in slavshit mode and other Men of War.
I'd get 50 viewers at most.
>>342157857
50 viewers is all i want
then i can have transcoding all the time
>>342157618
1080p is a waste, honestly. It's better using the bandwidth to get better quality 720p, especially for higher motion games.
3500 720p/60FPS with as slow as a preset in OBS your CPU can support is going to look noticeably better than 1080p/60FPS with the same OBS settings.
>>342158296
What about youtube?
I can't get my capture equipment to do 1080.
I would stream games I enjoy with my friends, because no one wants to play games that they dislike. Id have a community of people I teach in the art of memeing. Then when they get edgy and cringy ill just act like I had nothing to do with it.
I would partner with an internet person who already has some followers.
>>342158432
If you're recording, you should either be using shadowplay or using a second PC with a capture card to get your gameplay recorded. Trying to record and play at the same time otherwise just eats up way too many resources to get a stable frame-rate and high quality video.
>>342146228
I'd stream me shooting myself in the head because i was forced to be a clown for a living.
>>342158784
I'm using an external capture device to record console footage.
>>342158913
In that case you're going to be limited by whatever capture device you're using. If you can, invest in an internal capture card since they yield the best results. HD60 Pro can do 1080p/60FPS recording and is an absolute beast of a capture card. I love it to death.
>>342158628
and write a script before recording so we could pretend we are making jokes and shit spontaniously
>>342159163
Right now I'm on my limit in terms of budget.
I could capture 1080 if I got the thing working on a better graphics card, which I may already have but the software just won't detect it.
>>342159169
and also make some returning gags and phrases to make our audience memeing.
>>342159297
Then work around that limit. 1080p while nice isn't going to stop people from watching. Your editing, voice capture, content, and delivery are going to be far more essential to keeping people watching.
>>342156782
>To go quote-unquote big time?
You know you can use actual quotation marks in text, yes?
>>342146228
>make a living

>>342163108
Meh. You can't sell a product if you don't tell people about it.
>>342146313
Tried that. Once you get mildly popular niggas just wanna see the same fucking game over and over again. You dont get to play your favorite games because they wont shell out bux if you do.
where do you shill your stream?
>>342163692
I'm almost definitely going to shill it on reddit.
Hate that site as much as you want but its too big an audience to ignore.

Otherwise, youtube videos get posted all the time on r/games.

>>342165558
Wow, people do that?

>its a streamer says rape and then apologizes for saying it because he thinks the pc police are watching even though he only has like 20 viewers episode
many ok youtubers are resorting to streaming and then recycling it to their youtubes
this includes every donator sound converting into their "content"
people like max were ok when they made informative shit and then now all they do is stream, recycle it for youtube and put on ads
fuck
>>342167934
Its the best way to do it since you literally can't download streams with twitch, even if your the streamer.
Twitch is shit at that stuff.
People who miss the streams need a place they can watch them without the stream disappearing because it was too long ago.
>>342157817
Would this apply to recording stuff for offline as well?
Just tried playtv for the first time and got seemingly no framerate loss as far as I could tell (although ArmA 3 online isn't the best for judging framerates)
>>342162802
being likeable and consistent.
If you're a likeable person, people will come back and watch you again, if your consistent they'll already know when you'll be streaming and don't have to guess when you will be.
People will eventually find you and maybe tell their friends and from their you'll steadily grow (you may hit some ceilings at some points where counts down go up, but you just have to keep at it)
The hardest part is getting past those 1-2 viewers and into the double digitsI might be talking out of my ass though since I've never streamed myself and don't watch streams much, but this is what I've gathered from reading these threads it seems logical enough.
>>342165447
>play obscure games
>no one watches you because no one knows about the game
It can work, but not in all cases. You'll also have to be streaming either quite often or for long stretches of time for people to actually look up said obscure game and notice you're the only one playing it, or hope that no one else is playing it so people will notice in the videos tab
>>342167934
No shit, streams are insanely easy to do, all you do is park your ass in front of a camera and play a game, it requires no further editing beyond creating a thumbnail for it on YT. It's a hell of a lot easier than putting together videos or even doing regular LPs by finding points where you can cut it
>>342168531
no offline try to get the best youcan while keeping stable FPS
