We're 17 hours away from Meowchi's debut! In case there's anyone that wants to watch it live but isn't used to Twitch, here's some tips to improve your watching experience:
Tips for newcomers to Twitch:
Terminology differences:
Free: Youtube subscription = Twitch follow
Paid: Youtube membership = Twitch subscription
Adblockers (use one of the options):
>uBlock Origin + script from here: https://github.com/pixeltris/TwitchAdSolutionsuBlock Origin and the extensions are compatible and you should use it regardless. The choice is between the extensions and one of the scripts in the link above.
>TTV LOL Pro / Stream CleanerStream Cleaner seems to work with Chrome, but use at your own risk (
https://github.com/pixeltris/TwitchAdSolutions/issues/171 )
>Paid / Prime subscription to whomever you watch, or Twitch TurboSupport your oshi by subbing to them and get rid of the ads in return. You also get to use their emotes everywhere in Twitch. Prime is a free sub that comes with Amazon Prime. Twitch Turbo is kind of a global subscription that removes ads from all the streams and the streamer still gets paid for the ads you don't have to watch, but you don't get channel emotes.
PC browser add-ons for extra emotes and extra features (only one needed):
>Frankerfacez (FFZ) (recommended)>BetterTTV (BTTV)>7tvFFZ is the one that has the most features and customization options out of the three. Some people use 7tv, which changes the actual chat and breaks some things. Personally, I recommend FFZ.
Alternative clients for Android (Use one):
>PurpleTV or Xtra (Only ones that block ads. PurpleTV is recommended.)>Chatsen>Dankchat>FrostyTwitch's mobile app is garbage, so you might want to use one of these if you're mainly on Android. PurpleTV and Xtra block ads, so they're not in the Google Play store. Be careful where you download them from. I don't know how is Twitch in Apple devices, but some of these apps are available for them too.
There's also a website which is kinda like nijimado or holodex, where you can find planned or ongoing vshojo streams:
https://kson-schedule.com/en/?view=vshojoAs an extra note, Google is doing fucky stuff to their browser to incite people to uninstall adblockers. My recommendation is to install Firefox instead and import in all your saved bookmarks and accounts from Chrome. There's valid alternatives like Brave, Vivaldi and Edge, but they are still Chromium-based, so they are susceptible to be fucked by Google too. There's also other addons like Previews if you want even more features, but they are not at all as essential as the mentioned above.
