Unfortunately PayPal does. Streamers don't get to choose PayPal's refund policy. This is a known troll/scam. Donate huge to a streamer and because PayPal has such a lenient policy, you refund after they've spent the money months later. It's fucked up.

You talk about business but you’re clearly not valuing the brand. If the business fails and nobody buys then okay but my bet is they probably will. Not my cuppa but I think ur argument is bad.

Don’t feel the same way here as I do about artists and copyrighted creative work. Translation is machine work and AI is just a better machine. Translation in most instances isn’t human expression. It’s just a pattern that’s the same every time. This is where AI should be used.

I felt that way before even booting up Starfield.
If BG3 doesn’t win, I’m deleting my Steam account.

Dr K said this in one of his videos that Gen Z and Millennials are the hardest working generations for the least reward. He said it was factually true that they work more hours on average than previous gens.

I’ve noticed this as well. I think his editors need to tone it down. Asmon himself can be quoted many times saying that many people don’t read past article headlines. I’d bet the same is for videos.

The OP is out of this world. Every woman I know that plays games does so for joy and escape just like I do. They do it because it’s fun. And they do it IN SPITE of many men’s DISapproval.

3 main things come to mind:
1. Don’t sell/market your services or products. Ever, but it’s especially annoying to smaller streamers who are excited to have a new chatter only to see it’s a door to door salesperson.
2. Assume NSFW language is not allowed.
3. NO ALL CAPS

FR, you shouldn't have to play for 6 hours for a game to get good. It should start good.
You wouldn't keep watching a 10 episode series if the first episode was boring, would you?
Reminds me of all the MMO bros that be like "it's good after the first 100 hours" or "at end game"

Is there a checklist for ethics we can use? People will lose existing jobs 100% so if job retention is a checklist item the. All AI is essentially unethical. Or is it more the training data?

Good message.
Not sure if you ever checked out HealthyGamer but it’s an incredible resource for mental health in the gaming community.
Dr K talks a lot about ADHD, depression, anxiety and the like.
I’ve found it to be an invaluable resource in the last couple years.

In some cases there might be some fraud protection for you here, but PayPal businesses deal with chargebacks all the time. Banks usually side with the customer.

It seems obvious to me at least that that wasn’t the point he was trying to make with the term “indie”. But rather that it wasn’t your typical AAA title from Ubi. ALA 2D side scrollers rarely command that price. Did you interpret that differently?

7/10 means different things to different people. To me, so far, Starfield is a 7, but it might go up to an 8. For me that’s pretty good. But not something I’d recommend to somebody who’s. It already a fan of the style or genre. A 9 would get a recommendation to all.

TONIGHT I'm streaming my first person POV of the 18v18 =V= Invictus vs Parabellum (AKA I'm in the match) with a 15 min delay.
Tune in at twitch.tv/ermaluck @ 7PM GMT for shenanigans like this (but you know, not from above; that's next time):

Best rule of thumb is, if you’re going to accept donos, don’t spend donos that you can’t afford to charge back until the chargeback period has ended.

@TwitchSupport do I understand correctly? A streamer needs to have 350 sub points on Oct 1st, Nov 1st, and Dec 1st, to qualify for the sub split? If they dip midmonth for a day or two does that matter?

It’s meant to be that way. Like in a DND campaign it’s not just about the combat. It’s about the creative and silly solutions to problems. That’s said, you should be able to progress just fine as a combat focused party. What difficulty you playing on?

I also thought this was so weird. The devs made such a big deal out of certain features of the game like one save file and no fast travel..... sooooo... to let you buy boosts in the game for real money feels a bit hypocritical.

I would also add that if you don’t play that many games, this very well could be mind blowing for you.
But for regular gamers who play most major releases and many indie titles, there’s nothing groundbreaking about Starfield.
It’s fun for now but not genre defining.

As a person who speaks multiple languages I completely understand the nuances here, especially dialects, but I still don’t see how that means translation can’t be a perfect place for AI. Miscommunication causes terrible issues in the world. And languages are rarely translated for dialects, but instead major language groups. And even if they were, AI will be able to handle those dialects someday. So are you saying you just don’t like it or you don’t think AI will be able to do it? If you don’t like it okay, I also hate people losing their jobs.

And a loose definition of “Spiderman game”.
It’s a bit like making a movie on your home camcorder from the 90s and having a drunk cousin in a dollar store spiderman costume and calling that a spiderman movie. Sure, there’s a thing that looks a bit like spiderman, but that’s it.

Yes, please let me clarify my question. If a streamer has 350 sub points at the beginning of each calendar month (the 1st of the month) is that enough? OR do they need it every single day for the last 3 months?

Also people fell in love with it before the AI incursion. It’s not like they had knowledge that this would happen this soon. Or ever.

Rust content meta has changed. Welyn and Willjum doing just fine.
Add story, more editing, watch views roll in.
Today you have to be more than a Rust chad to get views. Willjum proved that you didn’t even need to be that (though lately dayum that kid stomps).

Correct. Streamers are not therapists. Come to streams for connection and entertainment, not to fix your life. That said, there is one stream you can tune into if you feel like life is less than ideal and that's Healthy Gamer.

@TwitchSupport getting: There was a network error. Please try again. (Error #2000) in Bulgaria.

Probably unfair of me to call it machine work. But for most people’s purposes, translation is a task that is a hinderance to something, not a creative art form. I’m saying it’s not the same as a painting which is purely for expression. Language while expressive, is based on logical rules that an AI can more easily adapt to.

I'm wrong on the internet! I'm sorry, okay!?!?!
But in all seriousness, a lot of your comments were quite enlightening to the idea that I'm actually quite ignorant of the world of translation and was merely speaking from my perspective. Great insights all.

I think what you learn from high achievers is FAR more important than being impressed by their lives and success.

@TwitchSupport I recently upgraded to T3. I tried to buy 3 months of T3 today and went through the whole process. Clicked complete, then nothing happened. Option gone. I'd like to get the discount for buying for multiple months. Why doesn't this work?

During my research last year, not really. There used to be a service through Stream Elements that offered chargeback protection for donations. My guess is they realized their bank doesn’t give AF and they were on the hook for potentially hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Ah so SE pay is still available, just not in my country. Good to know. I assumed it was shut down since I just couldn't access it anywhere on the platform.
Will recommend!
Q: how does SE protect itself from chargebacks?

I 100% agree that would be a preferred outcome so how is that practically accomplished and what is a major example we can look toward in the past?

The AI doesn't KNOW anything at present. It merely predicts the likelihood of the next word. But the translation is correct.

So does that mean that some months will naturally have more sub points than others? Or what happens when someone subs on the 31st but the next month only has 30 days?

Why doomed? I mean, the two things are entirely different sure. But having a well thought out story doesn’t mean the game would be bad. Just that they’ve spent a lot of time NOT making the game haha.

I stopped watching Rust content like a year ago but that’s anecdotal obviously. Used to watch like every bud from all major creators for years. But I guess I moved on.

Haven't made it to Neon yet, but I'll remember this post when I'm there!
Your next gig looks exciting!
How long does somebody like you work on a game like Starfield? Is it a thing where you come in for a year or two, or is it more specialized and short than that?

I love studying what works for others.
A good example in my mind is Welyn.
He mains Rust, but over the last little while he's put out Ark content and now Dark and Darker.
Because they are in similar genres and he has a strong storytelling style, it works.

I mean, for me, it's holding onto a 7/10 for now. It's keeping me playing, but it's not blowing my mind.
There's a lot of obvious stuff that feels missing like some QoL stuff around inventory.
A couple dialogue scenes felt a bit rushed.
That said, still playing.

I like that you’ve started adding interesting challenges. Honestly that’s what made me start watching your content again. I think you’re on the right track. Just need to experiment more. Less videos better videos.
But wtf do I know? 🤷♂️

It’s quite clear their job or the way they see their job is to get as many clicks as possible regardless if they’re the right clicks.

Sounds like it's becoming easier to bootstrap games and studios, growing slowly over time with your own funding as opposed to getting investors to risk 100M on a game that will be jerked in so many directions it won't even resemble it's concept art in 4 years and might not sell.

In some cases yes.
But it doesn’t take personal experience to tell somebody if they do X they will get Y. If you’ve seen it happen 1000 times in 1000 ways, you know what’s up.
In fact, I’d go as far as to say most people who’ve done it have no idea how to replicate it.

This is probably a good thing BUT
Where do Rust streamers during Rivals with 24/7 livestreams and drops enabled fall on this?
I mean, generally you can only farm their drops during Rivals so I guess it's probably okay. That's the entire point.

This makes me cringe and we should fight it all the way. But it happened to software. It will probably happen to games.
What I hate about this and what’s different to software is that we want games to die and be reborn. That’s how new experiences are made. That’s how games innovate. With software the continued improvement to make it better is worth the sub fee especially when the software used to cost $300.
Saas doesn’t have gacha mechanics. Software isn’t about dopamine fixes. Don’t saas-ify my games please.
