So I'm going to start streaming games, just single player NES, SNES, Genesis/Master System, Game Gear, stuff like that. I was wondering if anyone here is currently streaming on twitch.
The reason I'm doing it is I find it hard to play single player games if I'm not hanging out with people. Kinda hard to do on a regular basis. When I was a kid me and my little brother played single player games together, one watched and when the other died the controller was passed. I miss that and the easiest way to 'hang out' while playing a game is on twitch.
The computer I'm playing can't play much while using OBS, on SNES I started out on higan and it was too much for my computer while streaming so I dropped down to Snes9x, that is how bad my notebook is.
This month I'm starting with Earthbound, I have a SNES classic so I own it legally so Nintendo can't sue. I applied a hack to the rom that improves the controls, something I can't live without once I tried it. Then on to Shining Force II, I owned it as a kid but never passed it. If there is time left in September I'll go onto Defenders of Oasis, a game I loved on the Game Gear and actually forgot about until it was mentioned here. Next month horror games as it is Halloween, have Clock Tower and Sweet home patched for English, both games I wanted to pass but never sat down and did it.
Anyway, I'll be playing 6 to 10 PM my time every nigh, Denver time. I think I can keep that schedule. This won't interfere with work either. Classic game streamers don't get many viewers so they don't make money but eh, if I wanted to make money I'd spend a ton of money on a new computer and recording equipment but I don't want to do that.
Maybe when I get a Pyra I can also get a capture card and play directly off of that.
