I'm going to stream for the first time ever in a few hours. Got any tips on how to make the stream suck less?

Long story short: Life's been kicking my ass for a while, and I want to try something I've never done before in an attempt to de-stress. Since I feel like I don't hang out with you all enough, why not try to stream a game and talk about games, gamedev, and whatever you all want to chat about? If all goes well, maybe we'll all have a good time. Or maybe you can laugh at my terrible gamplay? Either way seems like a win, so why not?

So yeah. I plan on starting at around 9 pm EST. Any tips would be appreciated!
Just be yourself and don't worry if you find a bit of dead air happening. Use that time to talk about whatever chat brings to your attention, or about the game - things you like, didn't like, etc.

Think of it more as talking with a bunch of friends and have fun.

Have charisma and be good at making up funny things on the spot.

Not bad, actually! I wanted to play and talk about Tales of Berseria, but that game is still blocked from streaming without a capture card, so we had to go with Nier: Automata instead. We chatted a little about game design here and there, talked about Nier and its wacky cannon, and generally had a chill time.

It was very obviously my first stream, so I wasn't exactly sweeping the crowd with my charisma, but it was fun, nonetheless.

- ride a high horse


I would watch a stream of playing video games while riding a horse
Not just any horse - a HIGH horse. Pony's gotta be trippin its shit and hearing colors, yo
Do something really obnoxious every time someone subscribes to your channel.
Are you going to stream again? I would like to watch it if possible!

I would love to! I'm too busy during the weekdays, so if I do it again, it'll be next Friday or Saturday.

I dunno, these all seem to work out fine for me. XDDD
