BIG ANNOUNCEMENT!
For my two years anniversary of streaming, I'll be hosting a subathon on April 22nd!
I've never done something like this, but it looked like a lot of fun, so I'm very excited about this!
I can't wait for the day to come, catch you there!
I want this to be the mantra for anyone making games. Hell, I want this to be the mantra for everyone making CONTENT. Have fun first. Yes it will be difficult, yes it will be an uphill battle but in the end what matters is to make a great thing that anyone has fun with.
Due to some strange oversight, #TheGameAwards forgot to make a highlight clip of @LarAtLarian - Swen Vincke's Speech on the official channel.
Surely this wasn't a deliberate mistake, so I made one myself. We should probably retweet and repost it far and wide for good luck.
Words cannot describe how blessed I feel, through all the hardships and bad times, this small community always made my day 100x times better.
Thanks to everyone, from the bottom of my heart!
We smash these numbers next year!
See, I really wanted to try this feature out in a collab or two but look at this! If I do collab I get a WHOLE AI GENERATED EMOTE!!!
Noted on the things NOT to use: Streaming Together feature.
If you thought the Holiday Hoopla was over, think again.
‘Tis the season for coming together like never before because Shared Chat now includes shared viewership. Get combined view count, boosted discoverability, and from Dec 6-13 a festive new emote named (jinglebells please)…Cat in the Chat.
To unlock, stream with the tag holidayhoopla in a Shared Chat session for 15+ minutes.
Lastly, a LOT of things get streamlined because the AI doesn't know what to do with it (Caitlyn's hair looking like glued cardboard).
So in the end, the problem is always the same: AI copies, artists put their soul and passion into this, and THAT can't be copied by any machine.
See I may rant a little on this so strap in.
I have to say, I find the concept of this very interesting (put the pitchforks down, I'm still against it, believe me), but it's also very funny to me how A LOT gets lost in translating to AI.
-AI tries to just copy it but putting it on a more realistic face, your brain wants to think it's a real person, so when it sees the mouth moving like that it just feels unnatural, because that's not how mouths work in real life.

Hirohiko Araki on the evil of AI art in today's "world of con artists". He worries about the impact AI-generated fakes will have on manga. He recently saw an AI image and was shocked at its similarity to his art style.

That's something you don't get to decide. So what's next, I have to flag my content because I'm male? Because I live in a certain place? Some things are not for others to decide. Being LGBTQ+ it's not sensitive, it's being yourself, it's being human.
In my amazing small community I have people from all over the world, with all kinds of views and preferences. So do I have to label my stream as sensitive? How does that even work? What if I play a game with LGBTQ+ characters in it? Is that sensitive?
Today, we’re expanding Content Classification Labels and adding a new content category, focused on political and debated issues. Content Classification Labels were built and designed to give viewers more control over what they see on Twitch.
Starting today, streams that include discussion of politics or sensitive social issues should include the new Politics and Sensitive Social Issues Content Classification Label. In our Content Classification Guidelines, we go into deeper detail on when this label should be applied, with examples, exceptions, and more. Streams that include conversation about elections, civic integrity, and war or military conflict, for example, are required to include the new label.
We’ll continue to build tools that let you customize your experience on Twitch.

The big problem is that as always, these guidelines are so incredibly vague that someone could use these to falsly flag channels and hurt others. I can see the politics talk (though I don't see how it can hurt others without going to hate speech) but LGBTQ+?
