I'll be real, I suggest muting this thread because I will be doing a question survey from this. https://twitter.com/LuciaEverblack/status/1310360374328340481?s=20
Regularly? A little over a year. But I've streamed off and on since at least 2018, and I am pretty sure I streamed in 2016 before that. https://twitter.com/LuciaEverblack/status/1310360375259525120?s=20

I wish to be unknowable for as long as I can https://twitter.com/LuciaEverblack/status/1310360376945659904?s=20
Two, I have a monitor in-front of me and a monitor to my right. I kinda wish I had a larger desk to support a third, but I don't really know what I'd do with it besides watch another GDC talk on it. https://twitter.com/LuciaEverblack/status/1310360378107453443?s=20
Streamlabs OBS, I just like it having stream chat along with being able to edit the scenes easier. But the moment this program breaks I am moving to just straight OBS and never looking back. https://twitter.com/LuciaEverblack/status/1310360379038539777?s=20
Finding the spoons to start up a stream. I can go for awhile, although I tend to keep it to 2 hours for my throat and body's sake, but it's really just starting it up that's the problem. (also start up music) https://twitter.com/LuciaEverblack/status/1310360379999105024?s=20
Back when it was a daily thing, I did like catching up with my community as I streamed politics and the conversations we'd have. Winding the stream into new directions I hadn't planned for. https://twitter.com/LuciaEverblack/status/1310360381303521280?s=20
Although for right now, those discussions mean electoralism and while I can get very passionate about electoralism. I really don't wanna talk about it.
All of the great moment's I have been a part of haven't happened on my stream. But off of my stream, "Oh I can fuck your mom?" is a pretty good moment, but I think the moment I am most proud of is when I was there when Izzy got funded for Twitchcon 2019. https://twitter.com/LuciaEverblack/status/1310360382091952128?s=20
I probably would just so I could not show that my setup is my kitchen table. https://twitter.com/LuciaEverblack/status/1310360382977060864?s=20
Izzy is the obvious answer here, but to people I am not direct peers with I look up to Northernlion, AlpacaPatrol, and Vinesauce. Particularly Vinny Vinesauce, although I know I can never get that same level of fame, I try to be more chill than conventional wisdom suggests...
... For my peers, I mean all of them is both the real and the cop out answer. I guess if you ask like, "if you could totally rip off one streamer of similar or larger size", I'd probably say Brian because his streams are usually both chill and informative. https://twitter.com/LuciaEverblack/status/1310360383841075201?s=20
I am not counting charity streams here. But I think RAWR is the longest period of time I was on camera consistently. For like a week I was pulling 12 hour days and even the week after I was pulling similar amount of time each day. https://twitter.com/LuciaEverblack/status/1310360384591847424?s=20
Do you count caffeine (as means of self medication) as a gaming supplement? https://twitter.com/LuciaEverblack/status/1310360386680614913?s=20
My grandpa's chair from the basement. It's an office chair that was sat in a maximum of three times in front of an old windows 95 grey box pc. It's like brand new and is pretty good so far. https://twitter.com/LuciaEverblack/status/1310360387670495233?s=20
For regulars, I'd probably go inkandteeth since they're both one of my best friends and most active mod. https://twitter.com/LuciaEverblack/status/1310360389952167936?s=20
Stenheiser HD 559. Really great audio quality and pretty cheap on high-end headphones all things considered. The jack is a 6.3 so you'll need to get an adapter to change it to a 3.5 though https://twitter.com/LuciaEverblack/status/1310360390749036547?s=20
I only stream from my pc because I only the switch and I don't think I can stream directly from that https://twitter.com/LuciaEverblack/status/1310360391478923265?s=20
Streamlabs, it's just easier imo. https://twitter.com/LuciaEverblack/status/1310360392196030468?s=20
No and I hate fun. No fun allowed. https://twitter.com/LuciaEverblack/status/1310360393093722112?s=20
I mean, disabled politics is the obvious one. Sloths, raccoons, weird dreams, being from wisconsin, writing? I guess? The mecasloth name for me though has been from at least 2014 and so far it hasn't been stolen all that often. https://twitter.com/LuciaEverblack/status/1310360393680855043?s=20
I'd like to say informative but I think recently I'd say escapist to a degree. At least until the election is over. https://twitter.com/LuciaEverblack/status/1310360394586828800?s=20
I mean, yeah, Izzy and Camazotz are both close friends I've made through this so far. I mean I'd be reminisce not to mention Shasta, Alex, Kaalia, Emily, and Squid. I am sure there are those that I've missed in this list but alas, 240 characters. https://twitter.com/LuciaEverblack/status/1310360395153108993?s=20
You're lucky I don't have a cam because I stream often in my underware and I am not changing that anytime soon. https://twitter.com/LuciaEverblack/status/1310362566938558464?s=20
I try not to, I am not that messy of an eater but streaming takes a lot of energy and when I expend that much energy and eat, I sound like I haven't eaten in days and scarf down whatever I am eating. https://twitter.com/LuciaEverblack/status/1310362567689277440?s=20
No, don't really plan to outside of protests or maybe like twitchcon where I have to show my face. https://twitter.com/LuciaEverblack/status/1310362568578543620?s=20
https://www.twitch.tv/mecasloth03/clip/PlayfulDeadSproutLitty?filter=clips&range=all&sort=time https://twitter.com/LuciaEverblack/status/1310362569333518337?s=20
Basically full time? it's how I make my money but I need so little money that I don't really need to stream all that often to survive. (and survive is the keyword here) https://twitter.com/LuciaEverblack/status/1310362569941692416?s=20
Yes, but that's because the affilate system has fucked me over multiple times to the point there have been a couple of close calls with my food stores and their payout. I don't really care for any other reason to be partner tbh. https://twitter.com/LuciaEverblack/status/1310362570608578560?s=20
I'm sure probably lance or kaalia during RAWR and that would've been around 100 to 300 at the time. I don't quite remember tbh https://twitter.com/LuciaEverblack/status/1310362571657146368?s=20
It's a corsair bundle package. Wanted it so that it would flash green and gold and also because I needed a new keyboard. I actually kinda miss my old mouse but my new one has more buttons to bind. https://twitter.com/LuciaEverblack/status/1310362572449869825?s=20
I took like a three months soft break after RAWR. Not really because of RAWR, although it contributed, it's more I just had no energy nor motivation to stream. It wasn't planned, it was more accidentally slipping into depression lergy https://twitter.com/LuciaEverblack/status/1310362573028634626?s=20
No, I haven't yet although I've gotten close a few times. I have a had a close call once where the person I was going to raid into stopped streaming so I had to find a new person to raid. https://twitter.com/LuciaEverblack/status/1310362573775216641?s=20
I don't have a camera although I think keylighting is important if that is at all relevant to this question https://twitter.com/LuciaEverblack/status/1310362574794502145?s=20
No but long, long, long ago in the far off year of 2018 I nearly fell on stream and luckily nobody was watching. https://twitter.com/LuciaEverblack/status/1310362576975470592?s=20
No but I have gone live quicker than I thought, I don't talk to myself out load often so I noticed my mic was live and my music was too before anything bad happened. https://twitter.com/LuciaEverblack/status/1310362577537560579?s=20
The Night Terror Man, Ted Cruz has not made an experience and I haven't gotten a picture of him yet. https://twitter.com/LuciaEverblack/status/1310362578305134599?s=20
Camera. I really think that because I have purposely and financially said no camera it has hurt. Plus I refuse every debate, and I haven't stream consistently about politics in awhile (or really consistently). https://twitter.com/LuciaEverblack/status/1310363670724128768?s=20
I don't know. Probably getting a payout monthly, that would be nice. Getting to speak somewhere infront of a live audience maybe? I haven't really thought abotu my end game yet. https://twitter.com/LuciaEverblack/status/1310363671550406658?s=20
@mellomemos made mecaslS (and by extension mecaslPog), @BirdeeBlake made mecaslAB, and @WakorJones made mecaslFrog https://twitter.com/LuciaEverblack/status/1310364323269795841?s=20
Schedule. A consistent schedule you stick to is much better than whenever. If you can, it's really good if you manage to get into a rhythm of being live very early on. Now schedule is important throughout your streaming career, but I think in that first hundred followers...
...schedule is critical to long-term health of your stream. I am still feeling the effects of streaming five days a week for like three months. I think also collabing/charity streams is important in that first hundred followers. I will always say it: izzy made me. And Izzy made..
...me on both the philosophy tube Charity stream, and her own twitchcon fundraiser. It helped that I believed in both causes, but that jump start basically secured where I am now. Also I'd suggest getting good at learning nightbot to be a mod particularly everywhere. Not many....
....streamers know how to use Nightbot, and so if you manage to become mod for a larger streamer and mention that you also stream, it is pretty good for getting eyes on you. Now, this path has kinda dried up imo recently, particularly because of me, but I think you could still...
...do it. God, this advice section went on long. It is not guaranteed that any of this will work, but it kinda worked for me and that's as best as I can give. https://twitter.com/LuciaEverblack/status/1310365024255455233?s=20
