Next Video

So, next vid up is NARC (2005), some progress has already been made. Been doing research and played the arcade original some for context. I fear with how Legion ran over I won't get a video out on or before December 25th. Something I've managed decently well over the last few years. We'll see how that goes but I won't rush it just to meet some arbitrary deadline.

Stream Stuff

I've decided to move streaming over to twitch and I've made a VOD archive channel for 'em. I don't have a streaming schedule, I tried to stick to one as part of a patreon goal but I just found it sucked any fun I had out of doing them. That said me and some mates are planning on starting a Mass Effect run on Tuesday which should hopefully be a laugh.

Up until now I'd been doing occasional streams on the main YT channel and then putting the unlisted recording into a playlist. I've got a couple reasons for the change so I'll put them here in case you're interested.

1. Streaming on the main channel is punished by youtube. Due to how Youtube handles pushing channels views wise, streaming (which would naturally have less people on) can wind up undercutting you because it treats the stream as a failed video, which ripples outwards onto your other stuff.

2. Viewer confusion (and hopefully convenience), streaming on the main channel when my series is already called Playing did confuse a handful of people. So separating them out should hopefully alleviate that. Plus I figure most people are just around for the videos so this spares them a notification they don't want. If they want to catch the occasional stream they can opt into it.

I could have just started streaming on the VOD channel (I realised after already setting up both things), but eh, I kinda wanna see what Twitch is all about. I'll never really be a 'consistent' streamer and I don't really want to be, but when I'm in the mood to stream I figure I may as well not be shooting myself in the foot because Youtube is a mess.

Well, that's all, have a good evening and I hope you all enjoyed the Legion video and are looking forward to what's up next.
