/vt/ - Virtual Youtubers

Soon.

I think it's time for me begin the process of virtualization. Any particular artists and riggers you people have experience with? preferably higher quality ones. Money isn't much of an issue when it comes to that. If I'm to start it, I want to start it well enough to catch the eye of strangers. I know about the OP info but I'd like to start by asking you creature things directly.

Also, stream.

I streamed. Did some Elden Ring invasion stuff thanks to the new update. Streamed on youtube. Had one new viewer there. Canadian fella, said he was living off the grid and that his internet is shitty because he lives in the middle of nowhere. I've met some pretty interesting random people that popped in to my streams from time to time. A young and edgy greek boy as well. Said he cheated a lot in Minecraft. Another fella from Chicago has been a loyal viewer of mine for the longest time too. Feels like I'm a bartender sometimes, hosting for these peculiar strangers. Plan on streaming on Twitch next time and just uploading the vods to youtube, maybe people will see that I'm doing my streaming there instead. It doesn't help that my only free days are Wednesdays and Thursdays, but I can try and squeeze some early Friday streams if I can. It felt good to just turn on a stream, talk and do stuff. Some funny things happened as well. If things keep going this way, I can see myself getting into the habit of just streaming.

Word of advice to some of you. If you plug in a USB microphone to your computer, check the sound control panel of your PC and make sure to set your gain there as you want it. Had this issue before where the PC would give it a gain of 90, had lots of clipping issues and couldn't figure out why until I went there. Motherfucking computers. Damn things are only smart when you're the ones guiding them. Dumb as fuck otherwise. Had to delete a fun stream I had a while ago because of it. Always test your audio.

Small update. I will try to get into the streaming groove again. First, normal streams. Current job doesn't allow me to stream every day, too taxing due to schedule. No model yet, none of that. Just normal streams. Have an extremely small audience on youtube from some old videos. Most I ever got going live there was about 10 viewers. Can't decide if I should do some youtube streams first, then make a full switch to Twitch. Or maybe do both depending on the game. Couldn't care less really, but I have to if I want people to find me. Brand loyalty is not a thing I do, both places are run by incompetent retarded monkeys. If it were up to me? I'd nuke the servers to both. Useless junk places, can't even focus on what they want anymore.

Gonna do a solid month or two of streaming twice a week, have to get consistency in my system now that I can turn on the OBS and just stream comfortably due to having a desk. After that, I'll consider making a bluebird website account to hunt down some artists. What I have in mind should be simple enough for them to handle. Same thing for a rigger. Rigger makes me think of the word nigger. Can't say things like that on stream. But designs and models are not something I need to think about yet. Consider this Step 1.5 before the proper Step 2 begins. More updates later.

Step 1 is complete. I have a desk. Sure beats having all my shit on the floor. I already have a USB mic, infamous yeti I bought for cheap months ago. Last year, actually. Can sound good if you have proper mic technique and don't crank the gain up to 100% like a retard but that's a whole other topic. I test audio all the time, audio is my jam. See people talking into the wrong side of it all the time. Saw a professional guitarist do it too, spoke wrong into it. Goes to show that even specialists can fuck up even if they work in music. Hope none of you do that, looks real silly.

Wondering what Step 2 should be. Gonna stream like normal on my account for now before anything else, just to get used to it. Haven't streamed in months now, lack of desk was too much. Thinking Step 2 might be looking for an artist. What I want is very simple, not a normal character at all. I have never used Twitter, bluebird website seems to be used mostly for garbage information. But just from watching all of you here, seems like I need one. At least to get in contact with useful people. Fuck. Oh well. Updates later.
