Streaming Schedule
10 years ago
I'm going to start normal streaming on a schedule starting this week. If there's anything I've learned from other successful streamers, from Twitch and elsewhere (including my friends) its that the more reliably you stream, the more viewers you retain. Picarto has also been a great choice for me, especially now that I've been multistreaming with TGWonder and Wat.
Art has some downsides. It's nowhere near as exciting to watch as gaming. I know this, and there's really no getting around it. Sex appeal helps, but without good music or a video to watch, its hard to engage viewers. If anyone has some solid suggestions on what would get you involved in a community, or contribute more to the small circle we're creating, let me know please. I'll also take input on the stream times. Here they are, tentatively.
Mon, Wed, Fri
1PM - 9PM EST
This means I'll be streaming tomorrow. I may add days or change times, but three days is where I feel like I should be at a minimum.
Also, another issue I've been having streaming for 8 hours at a time is an ergonomic one. My chair is terrible, though it may in part be my posture. I can game for long periods, but hunching over a piece of paper or a tablet for that long has been wreaking havoc on my spine. That makes me feel so fucking old to say, haha, but its true. Anybody got a chair or setup they can recommend?
I guess I'll close by thanking everyone again. I shot up to 500 followers within days of this move, and now I'm over 600. Testament to how fucking awesome you guys are. I had assumed my watchers were full of dead accounts, so this is a pleasant surprise. I want to do something for all of you, I'm just not sure what it is yet. Maybe a giveaway. Maybe something else. We'll see.
Thanks guys for being awesome.

As for me watching I am pretty sure my boss is going to tell me to go into overtime again this week to get all the special projects done before the one guy quits.
