This might be a bit of an odd question, but how exactly does one go about hosting a streaming channel? I needed to use the platform for something earlier and I appear to have somehow gotten an audience.

By the way, if any of you are darkwhitetiger69, xXbeautifuladonisXx, or painherobeta, thank you for the subscriptions. I'll try my best to live up to your standards.

You livestreamed that whole fight? I'll have to check that out. Couldn't see much lower down on the spire.

But you mean how to be a successful streamer? Best I know, be consistent, interact with your audience, and establish an identity but don't pigeonhole yourself too early.

[evangelclairvoyance]

An identity...

I hope I haven't given people the idea that I'll only be showing battles and warfare and the like. That particular "show" was meant for a very, very specific audience.

[rpdsfinest]

Well, I'd be honest about that going forward. Variety streaming is a thing, at least. If you can work in why you did that to future streams, that might help.

The ones that like you and your content will stick around. And with a first impression like that, I'm sure people will appreciate some depth to it all.

[evangelclairvoyance]

Working in why I did what I did makes things a little more complicated, to be honest.

[Hard to explain shame and blackmail to a wider audience]

The only thing I can think of is interviewing, and I have no idea how that would end up going.

[rpdsfinest]

I see. But then, maybe not get into details. You could just say it's not something you'll be doing very often, unless you think it's worth sharing. That it's just one aspect of your life.

Interviewing's not bad, particularly if you can get good rapport with guests. But the most important thing is to just... be yourself. Find something you're passionate about and share it with others.

You might open some eyes that way, y'know?

[evangelclairvoyance]

Ha... Well, I don't have anything to lose by being myself, but I'll try and temper it with some sense of tact.

[He's only half joking. There are certain thoughts about some of his former colleagues that are better left unsaid, especially if he ends up having any of them on as guests.]

[rpdsfinest]

Yeah. I think like anything you just have to practice and get a feel for it.

Make sure to pass me off your screenname when you set it up. I'll be sure to give you a follow, at least.

[awooligan]

what, like video games?

[evangelclairvoyance]

I'm afraid not.

I mean, I suppose I could try, but I've never quite gotten into video games myself, so it would probably come off as insincere.

[awooligan]

I'd rather you didn't
that'd be way too weird and it's weird enough you don't like video games

what would you even stream, then?

[evangelclairvoyance]

Right now I'm thinking of holding interviews with the various peoples of this world and the Outlands. I'm hoping that one day I might inspire them to get to know one another better and realize that we aren't so different.

A lofty dream, I concede, but one that I'm willing to fight for nonetheless.

[awooligan]

that sounds more like a podcast or some youtube videos

streams are live so there could be all kinds of trouble

[evangelclairvoyance]

A podcast?

That one's a new term.

[awooligan]

why

[evangelclairvoyance]

Nevermind. I'll just "google" it.

[A few moments later]

I think I see what you mean now, but I don't exactly have the means to edit down the interview. And I can't help but worry that doing so might send the wrong message.

[awooligan]

okay sure but why is google in quotes

[evangelclairvoyance]

Why shouldn't it be? It's not a real word.

[awooligan]

it's in the dictionary

[evangelclairvoyance]

Wait, what? You're joking.

[Another moment as he goes to look it up]

It's a word. It's actually a word.

[Even though it has no right to be, as ridiculous as it sounds. What in the world has technology done to the language of the world?]

Please tell me "u" hasn't become a valid spelling of "you" over the years.

[awooligan]

outside of texts not really, grandpa

[evangelclairvoyance]

"Grandpa..."

I feel like I should be insulted, but compared to nearly everyone here, it's not entirely untrue.

Still, I think I deserve at least a little credit.

[awooligan]

it's fine, you can feel insulted

I'll admit I'm impressed you actually know what streaming is now

[standless]

A small question, but what do you mean precisely by 'streaming'?

[evangelclairvoyance]

It's a fairly new invention.

[To him anyway. A lot of things seem new when you're over 2000]

It's a little like live television, but the people who record themselves are the channels rather than a large programming network.

It's an incredibly handy tool when you have a particular message you'd like to get out.

[standless]

[Considering Jonathan came from the Victorian Era, 'new' still works in his opinion.]

Fascinating! So not unlike our message boards then, but for motion picture instead?

Perhaps I should look into this myself- it can be quite difficult to type occasionally after all.

[That's not quite how it works JoJo!]

[evangelclairvoyance]

I'm not sure I understand. Are you planning on creating a channel for yourself or using it wholly in place of typing?

[standless]

Would that not be an appropriate use after all?
