@munchkinjesse I can understand the business side for this change (to a point). Data storage is expensive. I just wish the situation was handled better, & that in-house download tools were ready before they pulled the rug out from everyone. And extending the deadline with days to spare. 🙄
It's done.
Although I now have all 10.4TB of streams spanning 2018-2025 backed up to an external HDD, it was kinda sad to press "delete" from their "home" on #Twitch
Am I wrong to think we shouldn't have been forced to move our memories elsewhere? End of an era. 🫡
$300 later… 24TB hard drive acquired. Started the process of downloading all my Twitch highlights…. All 987 files, spanning 5422h 46m of content over 5.5 years.
This is going to take a while. 🫠
Hopefully I can get it done by the April 19th deadline. 🙃

Still recovering from surgery, but would like to stream this weekend. I know it's short notice, but it would be cool to see y'all & catch up.😊

I’ve been listening to this all day, & it’s fantastic! Can’t recommend it enough. “Call of the Void” is my personal favorite, as I’ve found out how much the lyrics resonate with me. Check it out… you won’t be disappointed. ❤️
My new album AEROSPEED is OUT NOW in time for #BandcampFriday! It combines elements of #synthwave and #drumandbass into a unique journey that I hope you enjoy. Also there's a Devin Townsend cover on it. Thank you for your support. Grab it here:

YouTube has daily upload limits. With that, I wouldn't be able to export everything prior to April 19th.
986 HLs➗10 ULs 🟰 98.6 (99) days
~ 5500 Hrs. @ 720p/60fps 🟰 10TB
Guess my only recourse to preserve my irreplaceable memories is a costly external HDD. Thanks @Twitch 🤬
So… roughly 5,423 hours, spanning nearly 6 years of my channel history is about to go *poof* after April 19th if I can’t find the storage or have the time to export to YouTube thanks to another bad @Twitch@TwitchSupport decision. Fantastic. 🙃
Look, I get it… online storage is costly, but please realize the absolute rug pull this is to creators who can’t afford terabytes of storage media and/or a staff of editors. Not to mention how laboriously slow the built in export/download tools are. 60 days isn’t enough.
