Btw today's stream might end up being 6 hours of Phasmophobia because I'm horribly addicted. I've never really had the courage to play solo games until I started streaming it, and I'm rapidly rediscovering why I loved it so much back in the day. Sooo... sorry.

I actually love being an obscure creator. I love making videos and I can basically make whatever I want while I learn all the software. I love that my streams have such little viewers that I can have a TTS puppet speak out the entire chat with no spam. Not sarcasm, I'm genuinely having so much fun.

I had someone join and question why I had two models instead of one. I'm controlling my main one with my face, the other is controlled by my mouse and talks via TTS. It's like having two streamers. That also tells me nobody's really done it like this before.

I'll have to make a small animation of her moving her head while talking and then trigger it with MixItUp, but she's done! I just have to set her up on my desktop and we're good to rock and roll tomorrow.

The goth mofu model I used for like 2 streams is coming back as an onscreen chat TTS. Right now my chat is pretty much dead for most of the stream so I have it set to talk for every chat message. She sits in the corner and follows me mouse, it's great. Also, it's not AI.

OH, POKEMON I'VE NEVER PLAYED POKEMON WE'LL PLAY POKEMON AFTER HALLOWEEN

I'm making a list of games I want to play on stream. It's a mix of games I've played before and games I haven't. Mostly, I think Elden Ring would be a good first time playthrough, since it's my kind of game and I think it might be hard to find people who haven't played it before.

Other popular games I haven't played before but know I would love are Halos 1-3 and Dredge (playing on stream now). Then there's Unreal Gold, which I would play just to remake my original Let's Play from 2009.

I want to do song covers but I don't have a place to do it that won't A) sound like doodoo ass and B) bother my parents. ... except for the one place where I can sing as loud as I want... which is my car... ...so now I just have to find the song I want to cover that won't be too difficult.

My biggest disappointment is finding out my audience is 18-24 and none of them are going to have seen that fuckass mesothelioma financial compensation commercial. Man. At least I used the Microsoft voice that all of those Instagram reels and tiktoks use.

Wow that short getting 1k views in one day is absolutely insane. The only videos on my channel with more than 1k views were from 14-17 years of people randomly stumbling upon them.

I don't know what's going to make my stream special yet. I've seen streams that literally nobody else is able to replicate either due to proprietary tech (Koko's viewer TTS, Zen's voice TTS, Neuro), specific personalities (Crelly, Northernlion, Jerma, Vinesauce), and accents (Jax, Fraiki).

I've rewatched some of my vods and cried laughing at certain things I did. I've cried laughing at a certain edit I made in a video that only two people watched. I don't know if getting a gimmick is more important than just getting eyes right now.

I really wish I liked playing WuWa on stream, I'm so addicted to the game off stream, but the moment I hit that start stream button I'm falling asleep bored at the wheel wishing I was playing it on my own time. I imagine the same thing would happen with FFXIV and gw2 if I ever decide to stream them

On the other hand, Control feels like it's twice as fun to stream than to play by myself. I love that I can show off the stupid little stims that overtake me when I play those kinds of games. I love the Cube joke and shooting the green computers and throwing chairs at enemies.
