Ah, damn, missed it.

Boys,

I have a very special guest joining me tonight on stream. He's from the Ars Amorata crew and a very close friend of Zan Perrion. He's an amazing guy. Probably my closest friend here in Romania. Gonna be a great night. I have some business up until midnight my time, but should be good to go after that.

Okay. Pc issues. we're good now. Autohosting my friend but you can still hear me

So it looks like I can only really stream quality with my ps4 and if I want to stream on PC, I have to have to host my buddy. I'll try tonight with some Dark Souls and Cuphead, since they're less intensive than dota 2, but if that doesn't work, I'll switch to my PS4 and do some Bloodborne, MGS4, or Destiny 2.

Gonna do some tests before the stream time.

okay im live on dark souls! its running good!!

 

[Hector Papi Castillo]

Okay, I switched to destiny 2. The stream should be golden.

Do you have a stream schedule or just whenever?

 

[Hector Papi Castillo]

It's a bit spotty to be honest but I'm gonna go live right now. I'll get consistent soon.

Also I'll play league occasionally since my gaming buddy loves league.

 

[Hector Papi Castillo]

Okay boys. I upgraded some PC parts, via early Christmas presents. My streams are now A++ quality. I'm on now!

Currently figuring out what a good schedule is. Are most of you guys in the U.S.? If so, I'd probably need to stream 5pm+, which would be like 1am for me. Weekends, that's easier. This is your chance to give input on when I should broadcast. My streams was running at 720p at 60fps last night with Pub G and Dota 2. Considering Pub G is horribly optimized, this says a lot. I'll try 1080p as well and see how that runs. Will be streaming me playing Witcher 3 later.

If you are aiming for the North American market my advice would be 5PM+ on Weekdays and early afternoon on weekends. Most guys of working age have day-jobs and won't be able to tune in before evening. On weekends most busy guys are likely to have plans in the evening but may have free time in the afternoon before they go out

Lostnumber,

Good notes. I'll figure out a schedule soon.

Gonna jump on stream with 2 of my buddies and a game of Civ 5. Should be fun!
