Fishin' in the stream of consciousness (all-purpose, no topic chat thread)

yeah, here is the tweet in question:

this was supposed to be a clever response to a tweet that said americans don’t need assault weapons

 

(Intensely negative and violent response to that guy)

 

ftr i am a rural person, and my family owns guns, and i'm not sure if it was intentional, but being condescended to over a meme and implied that i am a "liberal on the coast"is entirely unhelpful.

 

fair enough, i get that feeling too! thank for clarifying

 

I have... strong feelings about gun control that aren’t fully justified but idk what to do with them.

When I was a kid, we had a bullet go through our window while we were out for the day. There’s been multiple shootings at the mall I went to when we lived there. I should never have a gun because I would be a risk to myself if I had one. I see customers come in on rare occasion with holsters on their belts and it scares me whether they’re police or not. And of course we have shootings every single day in this country.

But I recognize guns do have legitimate use. For hunting large game. For killing or scaring off aggressive animals. For self defense, even.

But literally this week we’ve had multiple shootings, and it’s fucking Tuesday.

 

perhaps this is a better topic for a less general thread, though

 

Resetting my laptop to factory settings because I’ve been having issues with it and I think my father fucked it up somehow. Not sure what he did but hopefully this will fix it.

 

If I were to do a test stream on twitch would anyone be interested in watching?

 

Ok I was streaming for a second but the game I’m playing is full screen and I can’t see the Streamlabs obs behind it. How do I play a game and see my chat at the same time?

 

honestly? I have just-the-chat open on phone when i do screenshare streams on discord and i know you can do that on twitch too

 

So I might have to do it on twitch instead of Streamlabs then?

 

idk, i've never done anything with streamlabs! I just figured it might have that kind of functionality if it has a mobile app?

 

i know twitch lets you pop the chat out from the browser so you can have the windowed game and the chat underneath or next to it, that's how i do it though it's a bit inelegant. no idea about streamlabs sadly but worth looking for?

 

Ok I think I’ve got it working but I still can’t tell my twitch channel is 25sarah

 

The sound is working but the screen isn’t and I can’t seem to figure out twitch

 

Wow my volume was set way too low on my first stream, and half the time my screen was dark? Not sure why? Also the window was too small. I think it might take me awhile to get the hang of this.

 

If technical issues don’t take out your entire first stream on any platform, you’re doing just fine. Congratulations, and I wish you much success!
