>>12514492It is! My stream times are limited right now. When do you think would be good? I'm Mountain time, for reference.
>>12514946>What determines the time you chooseI have to be free in the middle of the day right now, though I can see about changing that. It's just in case I'm needed upstairs, emergency or otherwise. Today was a bit of a fluke, since I fumbled my timezones and put down 10am eastern instead of noon eastern (10am local)... But mornings might not be best for me anyways because -
>Do you think your streams out I do think my streams out. I tend to pick a topic or set of topics related to the game I pick and, sometimes doing a bit of cursory research, bullet out a list of touchstones I can move on to if I get too lost in rambling or run out of steam.
It usually takes between an hour and two hours to prep enough that I can fill two hours of streaming without running dry. It's not a script, but I'm just not wired right to be super spontaneous; I think I do OK with my little notes when I have time to prepare them.
>If you feel lost, is it based on what you do?It's more that I twist my train of thought too much, or just run out of things to say. Sometimes I start repeating myself. People joke about opening OBS lowering peoples' IQ by 10 or 20 or 200, but when I go back and glance over vods I always find moments where I could have segued into something else I hadn't thought of at the time. I used to write some of these down, but I couldn't find a real use for them since it is all in-the-moment stuff.
>Are you satisfied after a stream?Satisfied, almost always, I think, though that is kind of hard to judge. It is usually mixed.
There are almost always at least one or two people that lurk and say thanks, so I am glad to have kept them company. That is fulfilling, though I think I unintentionally make it a hollow feeling by even glancing at any >>>.
>Do you stream because you want to or because you feel you have to?A little bit of both. "This place" has been very kind to me in a lot of ways, and my options to feel like I'm paying any of that kindness back, I think, are to keep streaming, or to
return to coupon making. I do want to, but it is sometimes difficult to start or to feel as if it is worth continuing because of various nerves and some admittedly silly things like numbers and some of the semi-social aspects.
Also I do really need to stop staying up to 3, 4, 5 in the morning, that certainly isn't helping with things.
