    Well, I have been told I have the perfect face for radio! Back in early schooling when a teacher did some compliment-each-other social thing I only vaguely recall.

    There's some limitations involved though, such as start up funds, technical aptitude and comprehension, hardware and software, my general ability to keep to a schedule...

    Also in the last like six weeks the games I've played are... A couple idle 'check in, push buttons, leave' games and text-based 'trainer' simulation, neither of which seem like they'd be a big draw, lol.

    Thinking about it, brother has a twitch, but I never even really asked how he set that up.

    ... Thinking about it, I genuinely have no idea how people play video games and keep an eye on the chat at the same time. I guess that's a function of how Twitch works, somehow?

    I believe it is more of a learned skill, where you either split your attention between the game and chat, or catch up on chat between concentration bits, such as after you get through a room or similar.

    On second thought I guess most games do let you play in windowed mode instead of occupying the whole screen, so it....

    I'm trying to figure out the layout and method of how Twitch works without going looking or asking someone and chibi.exe keeps crashing.

    I guess I'm just assuming that it works more or less the same as when you're watching a recorded stream, with the game in one section of the screen, the chat in another, and any faces or avatars stuck around somewhere else.

    But for some reason my gut says it's going to end up with a picture in a picture in a picture getting infinitely smaller and I'm not sure why that would be.

    This is what happens if you open the stream you're recording as an observer on the same monitor.

    Most streamers I know have 2 monitors minimum so they can have chat scrolling away outside of the game interface.

    Two monitors, one computer? Sounds like witchcraft to me.

    ... Wait, I've actually seen that in anime now that I think of it. I guess I figured that they had different computers hooked up to each screen.

    I guess? I picked up a smart phone because a college class legit required you to have one to download and use an app on or you couldn't pass. I never used it for anything but calling and placing texts, outside of that.

    Same for the new one, apparently it can go online but I can't see why I would want it to when I have a laptop? Aside from 'the weather will be this', anyway.

    ... Haha, I just recalled but I think someone asked me if I had TikTok on my phone once. I said 'sure' and brought up the clock to give them the time.

    We both looked at each other like we were idiots and it was months later that I found out what TikTok was, lol.

    You can run multiple screens for one computer pretty easily. There's some programs for it, but windows should natively support it. Most streamers use an old monitor flipped vertically to do a chat program, or just to run discord. That's new-not-IRC for you, old timer.

    Because you can run multiple sound channels, you can have your voice and your in-game sounds be played for your stream, while having other sounds, such as a text-to-speech for your stream's chat, only play for your headphones, so that you can keep up without turning your head.

    There's a lot of different ways to do vtubering, and for all streamers, usually they associate and look at those within their range of viewers. This means if you're starting out as one, then you should be seeing what other vtubers of the 50-100 viewers are doing, rather than what those 10k+ viewers people are doing.

    ... I just mean, the user experience is pretty streamlined, and always improving. So it's not really stagnant. Even if you're just playing a game and occasionally looking at the chat, or whatever, you could collaborate with other people, or join an organization, or whatever. There's a lot of stuff around this industry, though not all of it good.

    Ah, the text to speech sounds like it would make the most sense. All I've personally done with sound manipulation is turn a volume dial though, lol.
