If I can’t have all three, and disregarding technical considerations, I’d prefer to use Twitch because I think that’s where most of the viewers seem to go when they are looking for something to watch.

A little late to this topic. @SIGSTART if i could ask, how have you setup everything? I’ve recently fiddled with this, and setup recording various configurations, but they all seem to have their downsides. Are you using one PC to stream and encode on? Or maybe gaming pc + streaming pc? Which niche hardware are you using, like cameras or specialised capture gadgets?

I’m sure Sigstart will be along to to answer you soon enough, but in the interim, be sure to check through the MEW Streamers thread - couple of interesting setup, settings and technical posts in there. And add your channel links and details to the list (and maybe @Sigstart can add his specs and links in there too?)

Even though I was streaming yet another new game last night, it went much better technically by streaming exclusively to Twitch than trying to use Restream.
Thanks to @Entity for all his advice on-stream. There is no substitute for experience and it’s fun to get back into regular streaming since my Let’s Talk Geek days. Thank you to both @Deadlypinecone and @Entity for hanging out last night and helping to test stuff.
I’m going to keep streaming ever weeknight for as long as I am able, and at least once on weekends. Please drop by whenever you want to hang out.

Tonight I’ll start a new Rebel Galaxy playthrough to give y’all a taste of what it’s like for the GameClub 13 vote.

The stream is live and transcode appears to be working. I’ve queued up some South African music to listen to while the stream stabilises

There were a fair couple of lurkers in the stream too…

Tonight I’ll be checking out The Surge 2 to see what it’s like for the GameClub 13 vote.
Oh, cool! Some of those handles are still lurking in the chat on the channel. Curious…

I’ll definitely stop by to see how The Surge is treating you, hopefully I don’t have issues with the stream but we’ll see.

I had issues with Twitch again and then @Beo mentioned something about ISP so I turned on my VPN. Boom!
Now it seems to work perfectly, so far at least.

Hey, y’all. Thank you very much to everyone who watched me freeze to death in The Long Dark last night.
I think @murfle, @GregRedd, @1nF4m0u5, @z1oc, @Wlad, and @Wyvern stopped by the stream either yesterday or the night before. Thank you for hanging out and helping me test stuff. I hope I haven’t missed anyone! If I didn’t mention you and you stopped by in the past two evenings, call me out for being a forgetful swine!
As for tonight’s stream, I want to finish Hellblade before the deadline. I had a brief connection problem a minute ago, but hopefully it was a temporary issue with the Hyperlayer ingest server.

A big thank you to everyone who joined the stream last night. It was great to welcome @Entity back. Glad you got your fibre/ISP sorted, man!
Thanks for hanging out in chat @murfle, @czc, and @z1oc. Everyone who dropped by and lurked — you know who you are — thanks! Appreciate the follows @Beo and @bradbear117.
I started the stream early tonight, because Sydney was all tuckered out and being cute by sleeping in the study. He’s up and about now, but still chilling with us while we do our computering.
Enjoy the doggo cam while I get ready to start the stream

Had a great stream on Saturday with @SydneyDoggo lending his gorgeous face to the stream for the evening.
Sorry for kicking you out of chat, @z1oc. It was Sydney’s fault! How can you be angry at that face?
@murfle also joined in chat and regaled us with a story about how a lion ate his MyGaming swag.
@z1oc got many ideas for this year’s Secret Santa gift. @Wyvern didn’t seem to like them.
@Entity, @czc, and @Wyvern joined me on Discord so I wouldn’t get scared of the nasty people in Hellblade.
Oh yeah! We finished Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice. Played it from start to finish on stream. That’s not a bad start, I think.
If y’all don’t mind, this week I’m going to take it a bit easier with the streaming. The Saturday stream seemed like it was a good time for a lot of people, so I’ll keep it on the schedule.
I’ll also stream on Wednesday.
The plan is to take a break from heavy games and play some Batman!
