I'm unsure whether to use hitbox or twitch to stream video games to. It seems like more people use twitch so maybe it'd be better to use so I don't have to make friends sign up for something new just to watch and chat?

I'd say twitch. What I've been hearing (someone correct me if I'm wrong) is hitbox kind of started to catch on mainly because people were having some issue with twitch, but now people are going back to twitch because they fixed it. Everything I'm saying might be wrong

I think when hitbox caught on is when twitch started muting VoDs to crack down on people streaming music, since they can't really do the youtube thing of just funnelling revenue back to the copyright holder. The system had a bunch of issues, like muting in half hour segments rather than specific instances, and false positives on game soundtracks and stock sounds, plus the predictable bunch of people getting pissy that they couldn't stream all the music they wanted. Hitbox didn't worry about that, and also tended to be a little more stable and more helpful, probably just because they didn't have huge streams pressing their servers and huge idiots pressing their support teams, so a lot of people (mostly smaller streamers, I think?) switched, or at least floated the idea of it. A lot came back when their viewers wouldn't obediently follow, and the system has improved a lot anyway.

I haven't used hitbox in a long time, but I've not had any issues with twitch lately, as someone who uses it near daily. Honestly I haven't heard anyone even mention hitbox in probably a year, did you have some particular reason for considering it beyond just checking out all the alternatives?

From everything I've seen, beam.pro is really great, very low latency, though it does have a weird gamification thing where you can 'level up' your account? I've never looked into that side of things too much, but it's a solid streaming platform.

It looks nice but I'm not sure if it'd be good since I doubt many people have accounts there and I don't want them just to sign up for a dorky video game stream x:

Everyone uses Twitch. Use Twitch, it's fine. Switch to beam.pro if you're doing audience involvement stuff and can't wait for twitch's delays (after you fiddle with those settings within twitch first ofc)

Man the people who contribute to Designspiration.com need to calm down on the TnA. It's not to say that the womanly figure can't be artistic or even sexy in design, but the amount is a little eyebrow raising.

I was taking a walk the other day when my phone suddenly picked up a new wifi network. It was called Make(TOWNNAME)GreatAgain.

Not sure if sarcastic or if I should move.

Mum asked if I would go to Harry Potter World in Japan if we went there and when I was unenthusiastic she said I would be into it if it was for one of my video games.

And she's right because I would go to Metal Gear World opening day.

Metal Gear World sounds amazing, it just sucks that Kojima is already hypothetically pre-banned in the event that it ever exists

Hitbox is my preferred streaming site just ecause it seems more reliable to me and my shitty Australian internet. Give it a bit of time to buffer and it's smooth as hell, while I think GDQ's the only Twitch stream I've ever been able to watch without ridiculous lag spikes.

Maybe it's who I've watched on both platforms, but it's led me to far prefer Hitbox. That, and the fact darker screens and UIs are just better for watching things and I don't get why no video service I've seen realizes that but Hitbox and Netflix.
