Some of you seen this coming with some previous posts and comments in regards to my Lets Plays. I've been putting this update off for a week now, but it's about time I talk about this now.

 

I am no longer continuing streams on a schedule. 

 

Around over a year or so ago, people suggested that I should run my stream on a schedule so they could catch my streams more. While this was a great idea in theory, it just never worked. The only people that ever attends my streams are occasionally Lejes, Dimentio, and Moosh, and I could just message them personally to let them know I'm streaming if I have to.

 

I've made a lot of unnecessary changes to try and increase viewership of my channel without completely selling out (a.k.a playing bullshit stupid games I don't want because they are popular).

 

So I've come to realize that I myself am just not a popular person. To increase viewership, I would literally have to change who I am, my personality. So ya, no thanks. lol Views are really not that important to me.

 

The original intent of my channel is to revisit many of my favorite games that I grew up on and record the experience as a way of retiring those games from my life. (Not permanently, but metaphorically) as I may never return to some of these games. So I've come to realize, I don't need a schedule for this. I'm just sick of running on a schedule. It's flat out getting on my nerves and I don't want to do it anymore. I just don't like the idea of feeling I have to stream every week. Or promising a stream at 3pm only to feel at 9pm that I don't want to do it. This stuff just annoys me because my personality doesn't mesh well with schedules. 

 

I also feel that the schedule is taking away the experience of actually enjoying my streams, which is probably impacting on what actually makes my streams any good. I mean, if I'm not enjoying them, how can people enjoy watching them, right?

 

So going forward, I'll just stream when I'm in the mood for it. If people catch it, then great! If not, then that's alright too. I feel the schedule is unneeded and more troublesome than it's worth. I hope you guys understand.

 

Also, as a further update, I am thinking about abandoning the discord server for my Lets Plays as well. If or when I do, I will just set things up so that my streams appear in PureZC's Lets Play server.

Yeah, I can understand where you're coming from. I'd tune in, but our schedules rarely line up, even though we're in the same time zone. :P

At the end of the day, you should do what makes you happy. When I record stuff, it's only when I'm in the mood, and it might not even get uploaded right away (or at all in the case of my 100% OoT run). I'm not trying to get YouTube famous either, so I really try to do it just for fun.

We're not in the same time-zone, unless we literally live in the same province. I just use EST because I know people are familiar with it.

After a small discussion with Dimentio, I decided I'm going to keep the discord server.

I understand all of this. When I offered Let's Script, I had a variety of people trying to anchor me to a specific time slot. I set aside huge blocks of time to be prepared, spent the entire day getting ready, started on time, and tumbleweed blew through the stream, repeatedly. There was no satisfactory schedule, and I hated forcing meself to a fixed schedule, as I do not have a normal sleep rhythm.

 

You should probably just announce streams when you are thinking of starting them, in this thread. I rarely have time to view streams,a nd in general, only Eppy streams when I am typically awake. Doing these things for people who want an early timeslot on EST is just...hideous.

 

I killed any scheduled Let's Script, in favour of Let's Script Request, which I do for specific users who request a stream, on a subject (usually a script request), and if that user does not show, then they lose the chance to request future streams.

 

I am also terrible at scheduling TK Quest Dev / ZQuest streams, as I'm asked to do it in advance, and when the time comes, I often feel too fatigued, am weary, or I am in too much pain to want to broadcast.

Just a note guys that I'm going to be going back into doing more carefree observe-only streaming. These streams will mainly be unannounced and will be just featuring me playing newer games. This is just more of a free time thing than official streaming. I'll repeat, these streams will be "observe only" since I won't really be looking at the chat (for the time being anyways). I just want to enjoy playing games at full screen, and I figured it'll be fun to go live.

 

I am going to try and offer these types of streaming on youtube, instead of twitch. 

 

So you can expect me to become a little more active than usual because of these types of streams.

 

This will not affect my main official streaming on Twitch however which later get uploaded to youtube as Lets Plays. I'll make announcements here and on my discord for these types of streams as well, but typically right before I begin streaming since I'm no longer playing around with schedules. 

 

I hope you enjoy my much more active youtube channel.

Announcement: I'm killing off the NJF's Clips topics and going to share stream highlights now in this topic. The purpose of this is to try to eliminate unnecessary NJF topics in this Lets Play forums.

Narcissism Ends Here: This topic title now looks like every other topic title without the obnoxiously grandiose and annoying check marks and equal marks and stars I have added before. 

 

It was annoying before the green check marks, I only just added them in after as a bit of a joke as a way to show my acknowledgement to how obnoxious my style was and just to annoy people further. But I'm now finally getting rid of it because lets face it, it does look immature and foolish.
