Ever find yourself cursing at your Xbox Series S, wondering why it won't let you install another game without deleting half your library? We certainly have, especially with Call of Duty's colossal appetite for storage space. Join us as we share our personal battles with this storage dilemma, recounting tales from the Call of Duty battlefield—a place where thrilling kill streaks can quickly turn into chaotic respawns in a hail of gunfire. We also take a moment to spotlight platforms like Lurkit and Keymailer, offering a behind-the-scenes look at how streamers secure game keys and the nuances of game selection that come with it.
We then switch gears to embrace the beautiful chaos of live streaming. After a mysterious hiatus, we're back on air, and the audience has plenty of questions about our time away. We tackle these curiosities with a dose of humor, diving headfirst into unscripted conversations that flow naturally and keep us on our toes. With a format that balances structured topics with spontaneous audience interactions, our discussions often extend beyond the planned time, creating an engaging and unpredictable listening experience. Join us for insights, laughter, and the authentic camaraderie that makes our podcast truly unique.

Speaker 1 (00:01):
Turning off normal human mail mode.
Switching to dad mode.
Welcome in to dad mode Withyour hosts Bearded, Nova and
Morph.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
So I have a out here.
I have an Xbox Series S and theonly game I have installed
right now is Call of Duty, andit goes not enough space.
It's the only game I haveinstalled.
What do you mean?
Not enough space?
So I had to go and uninstallcertain features of the game in
(00:38):
order to take an update.
What the fuck?
Speaker 3 (00:42):
You know you've got a problem when that's the that
shouldn't happen.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
It should, it should not happen, like if you're
telling me like a game can't beon a system by itself, that
that's bad.
That's really that's bad,that's just something seriously
wrong.
And I heard it's like 150 gigs.
I literally can't install itunless I uninstall modern,
modern warfare 3, and I don'twant to do that.
I want to play both.
The fuck.
Speaker 3 (01:08):
Well I'm seeing and I'm excited that it's on xbox.
I'll actually play, I'llactually dip my toes into a call
of duty at launch.
Now, now that I'm not payingfor the fucking game, I'm like
here we go, yep, let's see whathappens here I played about 30
minutes of the beta so I I'mstill really fresh to it yeah,
okay, I'm not played any of.
(01:29):
I haven't played a call of dutyin a very long time, so I'll be
coming in.
Oh, besides dmz, I did thatgame mode there for a little bit
with average, and that waspretty fun I did my first war
zone.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
I played like one, one match a couple weeks ago and
it was.
It was interesting like I gotnervous because, like you know,
it was just a different.
I didn't know the map, you knowand all that stuff, and like I
still don't understand the rules, whatever weapons you find
versus like my specific loadout.
Yeah, but I did all right.
You know I I didn't finishreally high but you know I
killed five or six people, so Iwas, I was pleased I still don't
(02:02):
understand how that game modeworks.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
So it's not like a traditional Battle Royale or
even close to Apex where you canrespawn.
I get Apex where you canrespawn, but it's like a totally
different again.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
So if you're playing with a squad and you're down,
they can revive you or buy youback, right?
Yeah, if you're playing solo,the first time you die, you go
to the gulag and then you haveto fight one person who just
died one on one.
Whoever wins, can go back inthe game.
If you die again, you're done.
Yeah, but then, like when youdrop in, you know, just like
(02:36):
some other battle royales likeFortnite, you know all the guns
you have or whatever you find.
You know, yeah, if you getenough cash, you can buy your a
specific loadout that you made,but you have to earn cash.
Speaker 3 (02:49):
So, yeah, right, okay well, I just yeah, I don't know
.
It just seemed like it was too.
Sometimes I'm watchingstreamers play warzone.
I'm like everyone just keepscoming back.
It's like in the final circle.
How is everyone still comingback, or is it like you know?
Speaker 2 (03:03):
it shouldn't be this way somehow, but yeah if you're
doing.
If you're doing solos you, youget one shot at coming back and
then you're done okay all right,I might.
I might give it a go multiplayer.
No, you keep respawning.
You know, I had a crazy matchyesterday.
I killed 63 people, but I died70 times.
(03:23):
Yeah, because like you spawn,you die, you kill, you die, you
spawn, you die, you spawn, youdie, you kill.
And like the spawn mechanicsare crazy, everybody hates it
and the way it works is like Ihave someone killed me and they
spawn me directly behind them asecond later.
So I'm like, oh dead, like it'sso messed up.
(03:43):
Or like sometimes you'll spawn.
Someone killed me and theyspawned me directly behind them
a second later.
So I'm like, oh dead, like it'sso messed up.
Sometimes you'll spawn and theenemy will spawn right next to
you at the same time.
You're like, oh shit, you know,oh wow, they'll spawn.
You Like, sometimes people liketo drop a turret or something
like that.
Right, I've spawned me twotimes in a row in the game in
front of the turret, so I infront of the turret, so I died
instantly.
(04:03):
It's like Just spawned intobullets.
It's insane.
It's insane, wow, okay, well.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
I might try that on stream.
I actually got so returning tostreaming and doing streaming
again.
Like I got that Black Wukonggame.
I haven't finished it but youknow I did what I needed to
there to play it and I do.
You know I will go back andfinish that game at some point,
but I jumped on to lurk it andfor, like you know, everyone
(04:29):
that doesn't know.
It's like keep your login, youlink up all your socials etc.
And then there's offers for cdkeys you can get for different
games so you can apply for itand then the creator chooses you
know the publisher creatorchooses whether or not they'll
give you access to the game andkeir miller and lurk it.
You know the publisher orcreator chooses whether or not
they'll give you access to thegame and keymailer and lurk it.
You know they're much the same.
(04:49):
Keymailer tends to get morepremium games, like way more
games that you'd know about.
I'm not gonna.
I'm not gonna say the games onlurk.
It are horrible either.
Like there's some great gamesthat come through there as well,
and what I like about lurk itis you can actually filter it to
your stats.
Yeah, so you, you can click andgo only show only show games
(05:10):
that I'd be eligible for andthey're very clear.
When you click on the game youneed to have you know, mandatory
must have one of the following500 followers, three viewers or
you know, it might say you need20 concurrent viewers or 100
viewers, depending on the gameand how much they value that
game.
They might say we don't want togive it out to everyone.
So I've gone through that andI've clicked through and I've
(05:30):
actually got like two.
I've got four games in the lastweek and I won't look at any
more for a while because I'vegot a month to do a stream.
You've basically got to do astream Once you've got it, if
(05:51):
it's a free cd key and that's it.
All that they expect is astream, and then for you to link
that stream to say, here you go, I streamed proof that you've
done it.
So, yeah, there's some fewgames in there, like similar
games, like rainbow six siegestyle games.
I've got that tactical firstperson shooter where it's you're
not playing against otherplayers, you're playing against
ai, like ready, ready or not,similar, similar to that vein.
So I'm keen to do that.
And then there was one that I'vebeen getting emails about for
like the last four years on agame called nightingale and it's
(06:15):
like a.
It's like a open world survivor, survival, steampunk kind of
era looking game.
I don't know, I must havesigned up to the mailing list
myself saying this game is goingto be interesting.
Let's, don't know, I must havesigned up to the mailing list
myself saying this game is goingto be interesting, let's.
Yeah, you know, I'll follow it.
But yeah, that was on there soI clicked on that, got a cd key
for that.
So I'm like, yeah, brilliant,you know, this is.
Yeah, this is cool.
Yeah, I'm now that the stream'srunning smooth.
(06:38):
Friday.
Friday was the first streamwhere it actually ran smooth
like touch wood.
There was one giant crash inthe middle, like there was one
crash, but I don't know whatthat was.
I couldn't isolate that was.
It ran for an hour and a halfcrashed, ran for another hour
and a half, no crash.
So to me that one crash iscompletely normal in the
streaming space.
That happens, compared toprevious streams before where I
(07:02):
was getting like 20 minutes at atime without 20, 30 minutes.
Stop, start, stop, start.
And I just couldn't do anything.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
It's like streaming.
The technical component isbrutal sometimes, you know it's.
Oh yeah, you know.
I mean, in the time that I wasstreaming, everything would
break from time to time, everysingle thing, and you could like
.
A lot of times I would come out.
Well, most of the time I cameout before stream and tested
(07:30):
everything out and I hit log, golive, and then half the things
would fail.
It's been five minutes since Ijust tested this.
Well, what's going on like andlike you can like.
I remember when it firststarted happening, when I was
just sort of streaming, I wasfreaking out because you know,
you know, whatever, I'm like ohmy god, I don't know how to fix
this, and you have people there.
But then after a while, whenyou've been doing it for longer,
it's like you know, whatever, Idon't care if there's 100
people sitting in chat, you'rejust like hold on, I've got to
(07:51):
fix this thing.
Speaker 3 (07:53):
I think most viewers are pretty acceptable to it as
well.
Everyone kind of expects it tohappen Because, having said that
but yeah, obviously I messagedyou the other day In my rage of
not being able to sorteverything on my computer I went
through and wiped Windows andlike I backed up the video and
(08:14):
everything, I moved it toanother drive and like all my
documents, everything that Ineeded, to another drive.
I'm like, cool, that's great.
So while I'm reinstallingWindows and reinstalling things,
you know I've got fivedifferent drives on my computer
and they're different speeds.
So, yeah, I got like a reallygood small nvme drive, but
there's only a handful of gamesthat'll sit on that because they
(08:34):
really want they work well withthat speed.
And then I've got two big ssds,ones for general content and
bits and pieces ones for games.
And then I've got a mechanicaland then I've got another one
for just windows, which makes itgreat.
So if you want to get rid ofwindows, you don't have to
delete everything else that youhave.
You know, I mean I'm not losingeverything.
Yeah, well, when I deletedwindows and I started going
(08:57):
through, I'm looking in theinstall folders because I got
like xbox folders in every drive.
I'm like, oh okay, gotta readre-add permissions, I'll delete
that folder because I don't, I'mnot playing those games, it
doesn't matter.
While doing that, I'm like youknow what, I'll tidy up these
drives.
So I started going through ohyeah, cool, clean out all these
games, I'll only play this game.
(09:17):
And like, got probably you know80 of the drives cleared out of
where I wanted.
And when I got to the content,one I was was like, yep, there's
my documents, I have all thesevideos.
They were all this, that, this,that me and I clicking through.
And then afterwards I'm likewhere's the dad mode video?
Oh crap, oh crap.
When Ferry started searchingthrough folders, I'm like I know
(09:38):
I moved it.
I know I moved it.
So then I went through likethree dozen hard drive recovery
tools because the recent it'srecent.
I should be able to recover it.
Yeah, no, no, I could, I couldrecover.
I could recover videos fromwhen we started dad mode.
But do you think I could findthe one from two weeks ago?
Wow, no, wow.
(09:58):
And I had two drives where itwas located.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
Yeah, neither of them appeared and I was so
frustrated, right but that's whyit's good, like you know, when
we're recording, like I, Irecord too, so we, oh yeah,
something happens.
Uh, there's at least I had evenstarted that edit.
Speaker 3 (10:17):
I'd already done it.
I just had to render it.
Everything was done for it.
I'd yeah, that was to the point.
I wasn't like I had it,everything was ready.
I was like, oh, I'll just haveto redo the edit before cutting
it, and it just didn't happenaudio only because I don't
record all the video no, no, butsaying that, talking about
recordings and resetting upthings and bits and pieces, me
(10:37):
getting back into streaming whatI've done.
That was what I was doing prebefore clicking record tonight.
I've set up a vertical scenefor that yeah, my slobs.
So at any point I want to tryit.
I can just click live on tiktokand push it straight to tiktok
there through bearded yeah, mine, mine, my tiktok.
(10:59):
So I've got that scene set up.
But I was thinking, because I'vebeen lurking around in people's
twitches the last like twoweeks just popping in and out of
different people's twitchesbecause we've had bad weather,
I've had a lot to do.
For one week the daughter wassick, so, like wife and I took
turns working from home each daybecause she couldn't lot to do.
For one week the daughter wassick, so, like wife, and I took
turns working from home each daybecause she couldn't go to
(11:20):
school for the whole week.
And I think, because I know youtalked about liking the idea of
going back to streaming alittle bit or once yeah, a
little bit, once, you know,maybe once here and there why
don't we just click live forthis on your end so you can do
twitch on yours when we recordthis, we just do it live on your
(11:40):
end and I, you know, much likewe said, this show tickled the
itch of making content becauseit was easy.
Yeah, we could just click liveand just there you go.
There's one stream a week done,don't, if we can you're already
sitting in front of thecomputer.
We still get the audio part youget a bit more of a live
audience, more interaction,because we were talking you know
what two weeks ago on the showabout you possibly going back to
(12:02):
more of your talking stream,because that's what your streams
did so well back then.
Yeah, you've got a permanentlive guest right now.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
We can just pull people in whenever we want,
that's true.
That right now, we can justpull people in whenever we want,
that's true.
That's true.
Yeah, just sit on the fyi dadmode live, I like it.
Yeah, just run on yours onemore time because we would do it
like recording now it's one.
It's one extra click, but it'snot even one extra click because
I'm, when we, when we're doingthese, for everyone that doesn't
(12:34):
know, stream labs is open, likeI'm pushing my video feed to
him for the recording throughstream lab.
So, like it's literally, I justhave to hit go live yeah, so go
virtual, you go, click, go live.
Speaker 3 (12:47):
It's the same, yeah, and then you got the vod, the
vod permit.
The vod permanently goes.
We can't delete it, we can'tlose the vod.
My vod gets saved on on tiktok,because that's where tiktok
actually saves vods.
Now, right, but yeah, it was anidea I had the other day while
I was flat around, a couplepeople actually even mentioned
it's like oh, when he where,I've seen you.
(13:08):
I think their comment was I'veseen you going live, but I
haven't clicked through yet.
Like I've noticed, you startedpopping in and out of live again
.
Yeah, a lot of people areasking where both of us were.
I was like I think theconversation when people would
ask me what's Morph doing?
Speaker 2 (13:28):
I'm like he's probably in bed playing Xbox
right now.
Probably, if I'm not asleep orat work, I'm playing Xbox.
That's exactly what I said.
Now you got me thinking I'mgoing to brainstorm here.
While we're recording, wenormally do have a couple topics
.
We do a quick topic, take alittle break, talk to the people
in chat, do the other topic andthen the rest of the time just
(13:49):
talk in the chat, so that way wedon't have to edit out random
questions from people.
Speaker 3 (13:55):
No Random questions can go fucking in anyway,
doesn't matter.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
yeah, well, this show is all about randomness now,
where it just starts and thengoes and goes, and goes yeah, um
, usually we start talking andthen eventually at some point we
just hit record while we'retalking and then it's been about
25, 30 minutes and yeah, that'sthat's exactly how this goes.
Speaker 3 (14:18):
I was.
I was talking to a friend ofthe show damn daniel the other
day too because, because I wantto see, I've seen him long.
But I said I've been lurking athome.
Yeah, that's one face I haven'tseen live.
Oh, in two weeks that not onceI've seen live.
So so I showed him.
That's because he's playingWarzone.
Okay, yeah, he loves that.
He doesn't go live on Twitchanymore.
(14:40):
He's live on TikTokoccasionally, really, not Twitch
anymore.
Yeah, randomly, you guys, Irandomly just play games here
and there.
I'm just busy.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
I'm like, yeah, I haven't seen his content pop up
in my tiktok, not really noteven bothering doing that.
Speaker 3 (14:55):
It's just he's.
You know, last time he was on,we were talking about how he's
doing sports with the kids andhe's got so much on with the
kids.
Nowadays are they getting older?
Yeah, and that's where thefocus has been.
Just, it's much like us.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
Yeah, like, content creation is a lot of fun if you
like being creative.
But like, if you want to, ifyou want to be serious, like to
any degree, you quickly realizehow much freaking work it is and
the benefits do not come closeto the amount of effort you're
putting into it.
And so you quickly get yourselfjust why am I doing this?
Speaker 3 (15:32):
and I and I I've seen a couple of streamers recently,
like some streamers you knowfriends of ours, they're doing
great.
I hang out with M West.
He's been on here before he'skilling it.
His lives are fantastic.
You know he's hitting that 50mark at the moment.
I believe on average Like it'sa fun stream, it's a really cool
(15:54):
place to chill out is the bestway to put it while working.
But then I've seen otherstreamers and they're still
sitting at the same numbers thatthey were two years ago, a year
ago, you know, last time I sawwhen I popped out and some of
them are streaming, you know,daily, daily, yeah.
And there goes the questionwhen do you call it a quit, when
(16:15):
do you say no, like?
Speaker 2 (16:16):
When do you say no, like, when do you say like it's
time to stop?
Yeah, I think it all depends onthe person.
You know, Far too many peoplerealize it's time to stop when
they've had like a mental break,you know, like when they're
just exhausted mentally or justyou know they can't do it
anymore, and then they stop.
Yeah, and so you know theycan't do it anymore and then
(16:36):
they stop, which is unfortunate,you know, because it is
challenging and it's definitelydifficult For me personally.
You know, I was getting alittle bit overwhelmed with the
amount of work that I was doingand one day I had that epiphany
of what am I getting out of this?
Like, where you know it's great, I'm helping people, I love it
when they, they someone tells methat I helped them, that I
(16:58):
helped them through a tough time, I helped them get started, but
I'm like it's killing me.
It doesn't.
It's not any good if I'mhelping other people.
Speaker 3 (17:05):
if it's killing me, you know yeah well, I'm looking
at it, I'm just clicking ontwitch now and I have a look.
Yeah, yeah, it was turtle.
He, you know he's had anincrease over the time he's.
He's been moving up and up withall his stuff.
So, yeah, keep going.
He's, he's, he's got an incline.
But there's other people thatI've, you know, friends with
there.
They're still that single digit.
(17:25):
And if you've got nothing elseto do and like I think that's
how I said I got into streamingoriginally was purely I had
nothing else to do.
I was sitting at the computer,I was gaming.
May as well just click live andjust see what happens.
And you're not, you're notpouring.
You know I'm looking at twostreamers in particular.
I'm not going to actually saynames because I don't want to be
bad if it make make anyone feelbad.
(17:46):
But you know, one I know ispurely that's just a fill-in,
that they're playing games.
It's fun.
You know they enjoy it.
It's it's, it's the overall,it's just a great enjoyment.
Whether something happens withit or not.
That's another thing or not.
But the other one I know doesput way more effort into it and
(18:08):
the streams are long and they goto events and bits and pieces
like that and their number.
Speaker 2 (18:16):
You know, yeah will be better than the first person,
but not by much not for theamount of effort put in, I guess
right, right, yeah, I I justopened it up over to twitch and
I can see three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine people that
you probably know too.
One of them has 19 viewers now.
(18:39):
All of the rest have singledigits and I've known them for 4
years.
You know, and like I appreciatethat they they're going.
You know what I mean.
Yeah, yeah, respect to that.
It doesn't.
Sometimes it doesn't matter howmuch time you put into it.
You know, if you just, for somereason, you can't capture an
(19:00):
audience and you can either justkeep doing it, and who, if you
just, for some reason, you can'tcapture an audience and you can
either just keep doing it andwho cares?
And just having fun hanging outwith the people that come by,
or you can say, you know, Idon't know if I want to do it
anymore, you know, yeah I'm nottrying to say one thing or
another when it comes to my ownstream either, because I said I
I know I'm single digits at themoment.
Speaker 3 (19:20):
I've had a year and a bit away from streaming and
pretty much lost everything andthen, that being said, the last
few weeks are coming back.
They have not gone smoothly.
The streams have been horrible.
Yeah, that being said, thefriday, when it ran smooth, I
was in the high single digits,so I was happy.
I'm like all right, cool,that's, that's already a move
(19:41):
we're up into.
Yeah, it's a high single digits.
Yeah, it's taken a few weeks toget back to there, but that's a
high single digit, yeah, level.
Now I'll break the doubledigits into the next week or so.
That's, I'm happy with thatprogress.
Speaker 2 (19:55):
So it's, you know I'm not it's great because, like,
think about when you firststarted, how long it took to get
to a double digit.
And now, oh, it took forever.
You've only been back a littlewhile and you're already getting
close to it.
You know, yeah, and it'sbecause you built a community,
because you're active on otherplaces, people see you.
Like If I was going to comeback, even though I wouldn't
post on social media just todrive people, I would post on
(20:15):
social media for a while to letpeople know that I'm coming back
and then I would startstreaming I didn't even do that
I wouldn't post daily like Iused to on social media, because
I don't have the appetite forthat anymore I.
Speaker 3 (20:27):
I didn't even push the fact that I was coming back.
I think I hinted a few timessaying I was gonna contemplate
and coming back in bits andpieces, but I never actually put
dates or anything attached toit because I couldn't, couldn't
commit to it myself.
That being said, even now, evenwhen I have gone on stream, I
haven't, I haven't even updatedmy own schedule on my twitch
page to to say when, like, Ihave two days in my head now,
(20:49):
two particular days, that I'llgo live, but I haven't updated
it.
I should, but I haven't becauseI'm still testing the water,
I'm still seeing how that goesbefore I 100 submit, commit to
it.
I just want to make sure thatyou know, biggest problem has
been the system so far, gettingeverything to run smooth.
Okay, that's running smooth.
Now I've changed, you know I'mno longer doing mix it up.
(21:10):
I dropped mix it up.
Oh yeah, yeah, getting streamerbought a go, because that was
another one that everyone done.
So I thought, you know, whileI'm here, while I've got to redo
everything, let's just tryother things yeah.
Speaker 2 (21:25):
So I haven't been, I haven't streamed regularly in
about a year, I think.
And Mixitup reached out to meagain like hey, do you want to
be an ambassador for anotheryear?
And I'm like you realize Ihaven't streamed in a year.
Right, like you know, you haveto make some contractually right
.
And I'm like I'm thinking Idon't want to make content like
(21:46):
for you, like not that I think agreat guy's a good product.
I just I don't want to do it.
Speaker 3 (21:51):
So I'm like no, I'm, I'm good I did some great things
with mix it up.
Once I started figuring outbeing a half hour, you know I
had I had some complicatedcommands that were running
through mix it up.
Really pushing the boundary ofwhat mix it up could could do
for me, yeah, but I thought youknow, trying trying new things,
(22:13):
trying out stuff, let's justgive streamer bot a go.
You know, smash love streamerbot for a lot of the bits and
pieces.
I'm very interested to see whatI can do with it.
Yep, where I can go.
You know we talked about itbefore clicking live.
I have a drunken lumberjackaustralian beard growing, ai,
(22:36):
now that's running rampant andthat that, to be honest, I don't
think I would have been able topull out everything that that
does with mix it up I'd stillneed.
I'd still need another programto.
I don't think I'd be able topull out the text-to-speech
properly, not easily anyway.
It'd be a very complicated wayof importing one user and doing
(22:58):
that with it, whereas mixedstreamer bot is complicated, way
more complicated than mixed up,and I know that's weird saying
that because a lot of peoplethink mixed up is complicated.
Streamer bot is far moreintellectually pushing in a way
to figure out how to get somethings to happen.
But if you understand basiclike computer talk, then you can
(23:18):
get it to work, yep.
Speaker 2 (23:20):
I think the one thing I always liked about
StreamerBot over MixItUp is thatyou can actually write code in
there.
Yes, to have it do things, andas someone who was a developer,
that was always attractive.
But I got in with the MixItUpguys and I just stuck with it.
But that piece of StreamerBotwas always exciting for me.
Speaker 3 (23:40):
You know, but that piece of the streamer bot was
always exciting to me.
But the one thing I one thing Irealized when I was trying to
move over my multi-step raidscene, because I still love my
raid scene.
There's things I'm not going tochange from my stream that I've
had for ages.
One of them's my raid thing,because it's a minute long thing
and it's all automated.
I liked it.
It was simple to pull me outand move it in.
(24:00):
I can't actually mimic it onefor one in streamer, but it's
actually.
It's actually stripped down.
There's things that I yeah, andthen you know, I tried putting
it all into one command.
I actually couldn't do it allinto one command.
I actually had to launch itacross two different commands.
Oh, one for audio and one forscene changing.
Because you can't, it'll wait.
I guess the viewers mix it up.
(24:22):
You could start a, start anaudio track and then still
continue with the.
You could get it all to launchat once, basically.
Or you could go you know, startthis five seconds later, do
this five seconds later, do thatin streamer.
But if I went, uh, start theaudio five seconds later, change
scene, it actually waits forthe audio to finish, then waits
(24:43):
five seconds, then change thescene.
It won't start like yeah, soI've had to split that off.
Audios into a different commandso they both launch at the same
time but there's a delay withthe scene changing now instead.
So audio starts and then thescene one starts straight away,
but there's a delay commandbefore the scene.
Actually.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
Interesting yeah.
Speaker 3 (25:03):
A lot to think about.
It's actually fun.
I spent Friday night and a halfof my stream at the end just
playing out with Mix, withStreamer Bot, like tilling away,
and then even yesterday I didit Honestly.
Speaker 2 (25:14):
I think that's the key.
Like you know, you just saidyou're having fun with it, which
is not something that you weresaying a year or so ago.
You know, until like as long as, like, you keep that, like it's
fun, I'm having fun experiment,do whatever, then it'll be good
, it'll be fine.
You want to?
I don't think you'll getdressed out at all and it
crashes over and over and overand over again.
Speaker 3 (25:33):
But yeah, I said I'll leave, I'll give it a few more
weeks and I'll touch base withit again and just say where
where we're at with it.
But so far it's on the up, I'menjoying it, and obviously this
might fold into a permanent lifespace as a third stream for me.
Now too as well, I can justclick live on tiktok for this so
where can people see you ontwitch and?
(25:54):
bearded underscore over oneverything.
As we said ages ago, you don't,you play it simple.
You get the same name acrossall your socials because you
don't have to worry about asingle thing.
Yep, exactly, except forInstagram.
Because they don't likeunderscores, don't they?
No, they won't allowunderscores, mine won't.
I have to have a dot.
That's why I don't fucking talkto Instagram.

Turning off normal human mail mode.
Switching to dad mode.
Welcome in to dad mode Withyour hosts Bearded, Nova and
Morph.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
So I have a out here.
I have an Xbox Series S and theonly game I have installed
right now is Call of Duty, andit goes not enough space.
It's the only game I haveinstalled.
What do you mean?
Not enough space?
So I had to go and uninstallcertain features of the game in
(00:38):
order to take an update.
What the fuck?
Speaker 3 (00:42):
You know you've got a problem when that's the that
shouldn't happen.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
It should, it should not happen, like if you're
telling me like a game can't beon a system by itself, that
that's bad.
That's really that's bad,that's just something seriously
wrong.
And I heard it's like 150 gigs.
I literally can't install itunless I uninstall modern,
modern warfare 3, and I don'twant to do that.
I want to play both.
The fuck.
Speaker 3 (01:08):
Well I'm seeing and I'm excited that it's on xbox.
I'll actually play, I'llactually dip my toes into a call
of duty at launch.
Now, now that I'm not payingfor the fucking game, I'm like
here we go, yep, let's see whathappens here I played about 30
minutes of the beta so I I'mstill really fresh to it yeah,
okay, I'm not played any of.
(01:29):
I haven't played a call of dutyin a very long time, so I'll be
coming in.
Oh, besides dmz, I did thatgame mode there for a little bit
with average, and that waspretty fun I did my first war
zone.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
I played like one, one match a couple weeks ago and
it was.
It was interesting like I gotnervous because, like you know,
it was just a different.
I didn't know the map, you knowand all that stuff, and like I
still don't understand the rules, whatever weapons you find
versus like my specific loadout.
Yeah, but I did all right.
You know I I didn't finishreally high but you know I
killed five or six people, so Iwas, I was pleased I still don't
(02:02):
understand how that game modeworks.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
So it's not like a traditional Battle Royale or
even close to Apex where you canrespawn.
I get Apex where you canrespawn, but it's like a totally
different again.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
So if you're playing with a squad and you're down,
they can revive you or buy youback, right?
Yeah, if you're playing solo,the first time you die, you go
to the gulag and then you haveto fight one person who just
died one on one.
Whoever wins, can go back inthe game.
If you die again, you're done.
Yeah, but then, like when youdrop in, you know, just like
(02:36):
some other battle royales likeFortnite, you know all the guns
you have or whatever you find.
You know, yeah, if you getenough cash, you can buy your a
specific loadout that you made,but you have to earn cash.
Speaker 3 (02:49):
So, yeah, right, okay well, I just yeah, I don't know
.
It just seemed like it was too.
Sometimes I'm watchingstreamers play warzone.
I'm like everyone just keepscoming back.
It's like in the final circle.
How is everyone still comingback, or is it like you know?
Speaker 2 (03:03):
it shouldn't be this way somehow, but yeah if you're
doing.
If you're doing solos you, youget one shot at coming back and
then you're done okay all right,I might.
I might give it a go multiplayer.
No, you keep respawning.
You know, I had a crazy matchyesterday.
I killed 63 people, but I died70 times.
(03:23):
Yeah, because like you spawn,you die, you kill, you die, you
spawn, you die, you spawn, youdie, you kill.
And like the spawn mechanicsare crazy, everybody hates it
and the way it works is like Ihave someone killed me and they
spawn me directly behind them asecond later.
So I'm like, oh dead, like it'sso messed up.
(03:43):
Or like sometimes you'll spawn.
Someone killed me and theyspawned me directly behind them
a second later.
So I'm like, oh dead, like it'sso messed up.
Sometimes you'll spawn and theenemy will spawn right next to
you at the same time.
You're like, oh shit, you know,oh wow, they'll spawn.
You Like, sometimes people liketo drop a turret or something
like that.
Right, I've spawned me twotimes in a row in the game in
front of the turret, so I infront of the turret, so I died
instantly.
(04:03):
It's like Just spawned intobullets.
It's insane.
It's insane, wow, okay, well.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
I might try that on stream.
I actually got so returning tostreaming and doing streaming
again.
Like I got that Black Wukonggame.
I haven't finished it but youknow I did what I needed to
there to play it and I do.
You know I will go back andfinish that game at some point,
but I jumped on to lurk it andfor, like you know, everyone
(04:29):
that doesn't know.
It's like keep your login, youlink up all your socials etc.
And then there's offers for cdkeys you can get for different
games so you can apply for itand then the creator chooses you
know the publisher creatorchooses whether or not they'll
give you access to the game andkeir miller and lurk it.
You know the publisher orcreator chooses whether or not
they'll give you access to thegame and keymailer and lurk it.
You know they're much the same.
(04:49):
Keymailer tends to get morepremium games, like way more
games that you'd know about.
I'm not gonna.
I'm not gonna say the games onlurk.
It are horrible either.
Like there's some great gamesthat come through there as well,
and what I like about lurk itis you can actually filter it to
your stats.
Yeah, so you, you can click andgo only show only show games
(05:10):
that I'd be eligible for andthey're very clear.
When you click on the game youneed to have you know, mandatory
must have one of the following500 followers, three viewers or
you know, it might say you need20 concurrent viewers or 100
viewers, depending on the gameand how much they value that
game.
They might say we don't want togive it out to everyone.
So I've gone through that andI've clicked through and I've
(05:30):
actually got like two.
I've got four games in the lastweek and I won't look at any
more for a while because I'vegot a month to do a stream.
You've basically got to do astream Once you've got it, if
(05:51):
it's a free cd key and that's it.
All that they expect is astream, and then for you to link
that stream to say, here you go, I streamed proof that you've
done it.
So, yeah, there's some fewgames in there, like similar
games, like rainbow six siegestyle games.
I've got that tactical firstperson shooter where it's you're
not playing against otherplayers, you're playing against
ai, like ready, ready or not,similar, similar to that vein.
So I'm keen to do that.
And then there was one that I'vebeen getting emails about for
like the last four years on agame called nightingale and it's
(06:15):
like a.
It's like a open world survivor, survival, steampunk kind of
era looking game.
I don't know, I must havesigned up to the mailing list
myself saying this game is goingto be interesting.
Let's, don't know, I must havesigned up to the mailing list
myself saying this game is goingto be interesting, let's.
Yeah, you know, I'll follow it.
But yeah, that was on there soI clicked on that, got a cd key
for that.
So I'm like, yeah, brilliant,you know, this is.
Yeah, this is cool.
Yeah, I'm now that the stream'srunning smooth.
(06:38):
Friday.
Friday was the first streamwhere it actually ran smooth
like touch wood.
There was one giant crash inthe middle, like there was one
crash, but I don't know whatthat was.
I couldn't isolate that was.
It ran for an hour and a halfcrashed, ran for another hour
and a half, no crash.
So to me that one crash iscompletely normal in the
streaming space.
That happens, compared toprevious streams before where I
(07:02):
was getting like 20 minutes at atime without 20, 30 minutes.
Stop, start, stop, start.
And I just couldn't do anything.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
It's like streaming.
The technical component isbrutal sometimes, you know it's.
Oh yeah, you know.
I mean, in the time that I wasstreaming, everything would
break from time to time, everysingle thing, and you could like
.
A lot of times I would come out.
Well, most of the time I cameout before stream and tested
(07:30):
everything out and I hit log, golive, and then half the things
would fail.
It's been five minutes since Ijust tested this.
Well, what's going on like andlike you can like.
I remember when it firststarted happening, when I was
just sort of streaming, I wasfreaking out because you know,
you know, whatever, I'm like ohmy god, I don't know how to fix
this, and you have people there.
But then after a while, whenyou've been doing it for longer,
it's like you know, whatever, Idon't care if there's 100
people sitting in chat, you'rejust like hold on, I've got to
(07:51):
fix this thing.
Speaker 3 (07:53):
I think most viewers are pretty acceptable to it as
well.
Everyone kind of expects it tohappen Because, having said that
but yeah, obviously I messagedyou the other day In my rage of
not being able to sorteverything on my computer I went
through and wiped Windows andlike I backed up the video and
(08:14):
everything, I moved it toanother drive and like all my
documents, everything that Ineeded, to another drive.
I'm like, cool, that's great.
So while I'm reinstallingWindows and reinstalling things,
you know I've got fivedifferent drives on my computer
and they're different speeds.
So, yeah, I got like a reallygood small nvme drive, but
there's only a handful of gamesthat'll sit on that because they
(08:34):
really want they work well withthat speed.
And then I've got two big ssds,ones for general content and
bits and pieces ones for games.
And then I've got a mechanicaland then I've got another one
for just windows, which makes itgreat.
So if you want to get rid ofwindows, you don't have to
delete everything else that youhave.
You know, I mean I'm not losingeverything.
Yeah, well, when I deletedwindows and I started going
(08:57):
through, I'm looking in theinstall folders because I got
like xbox folders in every drive.
I'm like, oh okay, gotta readre-add permissions, I'll delete
that folder because I don't, I'mnot playing those games, it
doesn't matter.
While doing that, I'm like youknow what, I'll tidy up these
drives.
So I started going through ohyeah, cool, clean out all these
games, I'll only play this game.
(09:17):
And like, got probably you know80 of the drives cleared out of
where I wanted.
And when I got to the content,one I was was like, yep, there's
my documents, I have all thesevideos.
They were all this, that, this,that me and I clicking through.
And then afterwards I'm likewhere's the dad mode video?
Oh crap, oh crap.
When Ferry started searchingthrough folders, I'm like I know
(09:38):
I moved it.
I know I moved it.
So then I went through likethree dozen hard drive recovery
tools because the recent it'srecent.
I should be able to recover it.
Yeah, no, no, I could, I couldrecover.
I could recover videos fromwhen we started dad mode.
But do you think I could findthe one from two weeks ago?
Wow, no, wow.
(09:58):
And I had two drives where itwas located.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
Yeah, neither of them appeared and I was so
frustrated, right but that's whyit's good, like you know, when
we're recording, like I, Irecord too, so we, oh yeah,
something happens.
Uh, there's at least I had evenstarted that edit.
Speaker 3 (10:17):
I'd already done it.
I just had to render it.
Everything was done for it.
I'd yeah, that was to the point.
I wasn't like I had it,everything was ready.
I was like, oh, I'll just haveto redo the edit before cutting
it, and it just didn't happenaudio only because I don't
record all the video no, no, butsaying that, talking about
recordings and resetting upthings and bits and pieces, me
(10:37):
getting back into streaming whatI've done.
That was what I was doing prebefore clicking record tonight.
I've set up a vertical scenefor that yeah, my slobs.
So at any point I want to tryit.
I can just click live on tiktokand push it straight to tiktok
there through bearded yeah, mine, mine, my tiktok.
(10:59):
So I've got that scene set up.
But I was thinking, because I'vebeen lurking around in people's
twitches the last like twoweeks just popping in and out of
different people's twitchesbecause we've had bad weather,
I've had a lot to do.
For one week the daughter wassick, so, like wife and I took
turns working from home each daybecause she couldn't lot to do.
For one week the daughter wassick, so, like wife, and I took
turns working from home each daybecause she couldn't go to
(11:20):
school for the whole week.
And I think, because I know youtalked about liking the idea of
going back to streaming alittle bit or once yeah, a
little bit, once, you know,maybe once here and there why
don't we just click live forthis on your end so you can do
twitch on yours when we recordthis, we just do it live on your
(11:40):
end and I, you know, much likewe said, this show tickled the
itch of making content becauseit was easy.
Yeah, we could just click liveand just there you go.
There's one stream a week done,don't, if we can you're already
sitting in front of thecomputer.
We still get the audio part youget a bit more of a live
audience, more interaction,because we were talking you know
what two weeks ago on the showabout you possibly going back to
(12:02):
more of your talking stream,because that's what your streams
did so well back then.
Yeah, you've got a permanentlive guest right now.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
We can just pull people in whenever we want,
that's true.
That right now, we can justpull people in whenever we want,
that's true.
That's true.
Yeah, just sit on the fyi dadmode live, I like it.
Yeah, just run on yours onemore time because we would do it
like recording now it's one.
It's one extra click, but it'snot even one extra click because
I'm, when we, when we're doingthese, for everyone that doesn't
(12:34):
know, stream labs is open, likeI'm pushing my video feed to
him for the recording throughstream lab.
So, like it's literally, I justhave to hit go live yeah, so go
virtual, you go, click, go live.
Speaker 3 (12:47):
It's the same, yeah, and then you got the vod, the
vod permit.
The vod permanently goes.
We can't delete it, we can'tlose the vod.
My vod gets saved on on tiktok,because that's where tiktok
actually saves vods.
Now, right, but yeah, it was anidea I had the other day while
I was flat around, a couplepeople actually even mentioned
it's like oh, when he where,I've seen you.
(13:08):
I think their comment was I'veseen you going live, but I
haven't clicked through yet.
Like I've noticed, you startedpopping in and out of live again
.
Yeah, a lot of people areasking where both of us were.
I was like I think theconversation when people would
ask me what's Morph doing?
Speaker 2 (13:28):
I'm like he's probably in bed playing Xbox
right now.
Probably, if I'm not asleep orat work, I'm playing Xbox.
That's exactly what I said.
Now you got me thinking I'mgoing to brainstorm here.
While we're recording, wenormally do have a couple topics
.
We do a quick topic, take alittle break, talk to the people
in chat, do the other topic andthen the rest of the time just
(13:49):
talk in the chat, so that way wedon't have to edit out random
questions from people.
Speaker 3 (13:55):
No Random questions can go fucking in anyway,
doesn't matter.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
yeah, well, this show is all about randomness now,
where it just starts and thengoes and goes, and goes yeah, um
, usually we start talking andthen eventually at some point we
just hit record while we'retalking and then it's been about
25, 30 minutes and yeah, that'sthat's exactly how this goes.
Speaker 3 (14:18):
I was.
I was talking to a friend ofthe show damn daniel the other
day too because, because I wantto see, I've seen him long.
But I said I've been lurking athome.
Yeah, that's one face I haven'tseen live.
Oh, in two weeks that not onceI've seen live.
So so I showed him.
That's because he's playingWarzone.
Okay, yeah, he loves that.
He doesn't go live on Twitchanymore.
(14:40):
He's live on TikTokoccasionally, really, not Twitch
anymore.
Yeah, randomly, you guys, Irandomly just play games here
and there.
I'm just busy.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
I'm like, yeah, I haven't seen his content pop up
in my tiktok, not really noteven bothering doing that.
Speaker 3 (14:55):
It's just he's.
You know, last time he was on,we were talking about how he's
doing sports with the kids andhe's got so much on with the
kids.
Nowadays are they getting older?
Yeah, and that's where thefocus has been.
Just, it's much like us.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
Yeah, like, content creation is a lot of fun if you
like being creative.
But like, if you want to, ifyou want to be serious, like to
any degree, you quickly realizehow much freaking work it is and
the benefits do not come closeto the amount of effort you're
putting into it.
And so you quickly get yourselfjust why am I doing this?
Speaker 3 (15:32):
and I and I I've seen a couple of streamers recently,
like some streamers you knowfriends of ours, they're doing
great.
I hang out with M West.
He's been on here before he'skilling it.
His lives are fantastic.
You know he's hitting that 50mark at the moment.
I believe on average Like it'sa fun stream, it's a really cool
(15:54):
place to chill out is the bestway to put it while working.
But then I've seen otherstreamers and they're still
sitting at the same numbers thatthey were two years ago, a year
ago, you know, last time I sawwhen I popped out and some of
them are streaming, you know,daily, daily, yeah.
And there goes the questionwhen do you call it a quit, when
(16:15):
do you say no, like?
Speaker 2 (16:16):
When do you say no, like, when do you say like it's
time to stop?
Yeah, I think it all depends onthe person.
You know, Far too many peoplerealize it's time to stop when
they've had like a mental break,you know, like when they're
just exhausted mentally or justyou know they can't do it
anymore, and then they stop.
Yeah, and so you know theycan't do it anymore and then
(16:36):
they stop, which is unfortunate,you know, because it is
challenging and it's definitelydifficult For me personally.
You know, I was getting alittle bit overwhelmed with the
amount of work that I was doingand one day I had that epiphany
of what am I getting out of this?
Like, where you know it's great, I'm helping people, I love it
when they, they someone tells methat I helped them, that I
(16:58):
helped them through a tough time, I helped them get started, but
I'm like it's killing me.
It doesn't.
It's not any good if I'mhelping other people.
Speaker 3 (17:05):
if it's killing me, you know yeah well, I'm looking
at it, I'm just clicking ontwitch now and I have a look.
Yeah, yeah, it was turtle.
He, you know he's had anincrease over the time he's.
He's been moving up and up withall his stuff.
So, yeah, keep going.
He's, he's, he's got an incline.
But there's other people thatI've, you know, friends with
there.
They're still that single digit.
(17:25):
And if you've got nothing elseto do and like I think that's
how I said I got into streamingoriginally was purely I had
nothing else to do.
I was sitting at the computer,I was gaming.
May as well just click live andjust see what happens.
And you're not, you're notpouring.
You know I'm looking at twostreamers in particular.
I'm not going to actually saynames because I don't want to be
bad if it make make anyone feelbad.
(17:46):
But you know, one I know ispurely that's just a fill-in,
that they're playing games.
It's fun.
You know they enjoy it.
It's it's, it's the overall,it's just a great enjoyment.
Whether something happens withit or not.
That's another thing or not.
But the other one I know doesput way more effort into it and
(18:08):
the streams are long and they goto events and bits and pieces
like that and their number.
Speaker 2 (18:16):
You know, yeah will be better than the first person,
but not by much not for theamount of effort put in, I guess
right, right, yeah, I I justopened it up over to twitch and
I can see three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine people that
you probably know too.
One of them has 19 viewers now.
(18:39):
All of the rest have singledigits and I've known them for 4
years.
You know, and like I appreciatethat they they're going.
You know what I mean.
Yeah, yeah, respect to that.
It doesn't.
Sometimes it doesn't matter howmuch time you put into it.
You know, if you just, for somereason, you can't capture an
(19:00):
audience and you can either justkeep doing it, and who, if you
just, for some reason, you can'tcapture an audience and you can
either just keep doing it andwho cares?
And just having fun hanging outwith the people that come by,
or you can say, you know, Idon't know if I want to do it
anymore, you know, yeah I'm nottrying to say one thing or
another when it comes to my ownstream either, because I said I
I know I'm single digits at themoment.
Speaker 3 (19:20):
I've had a year and a bit away from streaming and
pretty much lost everything andthen, that being said, the last
few weeks are coming back.
They have not gone smoothly.
The streams have been horrible.
Yeah, that being said, thefriday, when it ran smooth, I
was in the high single digits,so I was happy.
I'm like all right, cool,that's, that's already a move
(19:41):
we're up into.
Yeah, it's a high single digits.
Yeah, it's taken a few weeks toget back to there, but that's a
high single digit, yeah, level.
Now I'll break the doubledigits into the next week or so.
That's, I'm happy with thatprogress.
Speaker 2 (19:55):
So it's, you know I'm not it's great because, like,
think about when you firststarted, how long it took to get
to a double digit.
And now, oh, it took forever.
You've only been back a littlewhile and you're already getting
close to it.
You know, yeah, and it'sbecause you built a community,
because you're active on otherplaces, people see you.
Like If I was going to comeback, even though I wouldn't
post on social media just todrive people, I would post on
(20:15):
social media for a while to letpeople know that I'm coming back
and then I would startstreaming I didn't even do that
I wouldn't post daily like Iused to on social media, because
I don't have the appetite forthat anymore I.
Speaker 3 (20:27):
I didn't even push the fact that I was coming back.
I think I hinted a few timessaying I was gonna contemplate
and coming back in bits andpieces, but I never actually put
dates or anything attached toit because I couldn't, couldn't
commit to it myself.
That being said, even now, evenwhen I have gone on stream, I
haven't, I haven't even updatedmy own schedule on my twitch
page to to say when, like, Ihave two days in my head now,
(20:49):
two particular days, that I'llgo live, but I haven't updated
it.
I should, but I haven't becauseI'm still testing the water,
I'm still seeing how that goesbefore I 100 submit, commit to
it.
I just want to make sure thatyou know, biggest problem has
been the system so far, gettingeverything to run smooth.
Okay, that's running smooth.
Now I've changed, you know I'mno longer doing mix it up.
(21:10):
I dropped mix it up.
Oh yeah, yeah, getting streamerbought a go, because that was
another one that everyone done.
So I thought, you know, whileI'm here, while I've got to redo
everything, let's just tryother things yeah.
Speaker 2 (21:25):
So I haven't been, I haven't streamed regularly in
about a year, I think.
And Mixitup reached out to meagain like hey, do you want to
be an ambassador for anotheryear?
And I'm like you realize Ihaven't streamed in a year.
Right, like you know, you haveto make some contractually right
.
And I'm like I'm thinking Idon't want to make content like
(21:46):
for you, like not that I think agreat guy's a good product.
I just I don't want to do it.
Speaker 3 (21:51):
So I'm like no, I'm, I'm good I did some great things
with mix it up.
Once I started figuring outbeing a half hour, you know I
had I had some complicatedcommands that were running
through mix it up.
Really pushing the boundary ofwhat mix it up could could do
for me, yeah, but I thought youknow, trying trying new things,
(22:13):
trying out stuff, let's justgive streamer bot a go.
You know, smash love streamerbot for a lot of the bits and
pieces.
I'm very interested to see whatI can do with it.
Yep, where I can go.
You know we talked about itbefore clicking live.
I have a drunken lumberjackaustralian beard growing, ai,
(22:36):
now that's running rampant andthat that, to be honest, I don't
think I would have been able topull out everything that that
does with mix it up I'd stillneed.
I'd still need another programto.
I don't think I'd be able topull out the text-to-speech
properly, not easily anyway.
It'd be a very complicated wayof importing one user and doing
(22:58):
that with it, whereas mixedstreamer bot is complicated, way
more complicated than mixed up,and I know that's weird saying
that because a lot of peoplethink mixed up is complicated.
Streamer bot is far moreintellectually pushing in a way
to figure out how to get somethings to happen.
But if you understand basiclike computer talk, then you can
(23:18):
get it to work, yep.
Speaker 2 (23:20):
I think the one thing I always liked about
StreamerBot over MixItUp is thatyou can actually write code in
there.
Yes, to have it do things, andas someone who was a developer,
that was always attractive.
But I got in with the MixItUpguys and I just stuck with it.
But that piece of StreamerBotwas always exciting for me.
Speaker 3 (23:40):
You know, but that piece of the streamer bot was
always exciting to me.
But the one thing I one thing Irealized when I was trying to
move over my multi-step raidscene, because I still love my
raid scene.
There's things I'm not going tochange from my stream that I've
had for ages.
One of them's my raid thing,because it's a minute long thing
and it's all automated.
I liked it.
It was simple to pull me outand move it in.
(24:00):
I can't actually mimic it onefor one in streamer, but it's
actually.
It's actually stripped down.
There's things that I yeah, andthen you know, I tried putting
it all into one command.
I actually couldn't do it allinto one command.
I actually had to launch itacross two different commands.
Oh, one for audio and one forscene changing.
Because you can't, it'll wait.
I guess the viewers mix it up.
(24:22):
You could start a, start anaudio track and then still
continue with the.
You could get it all to launchat once, basically.
Or you could go you know, startthis five seconds later, do
this five seconds later, do thatin streamer.
But if I went, uh, start theaudio five seconds later, change
scene, it actually waits forthe audio to finish, then waits
(24:43):
five seconds, then change thescene.
It won't start like yeah, soI've had to split that off.
Audios into a different commandso they both launch at the same
time but there's a delay withthe scene changing now instead.
So audio starts and then thescene one starts straight away,
but there's a delay commandbefore the scene.
Actually.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
Interesting yeah.
Speaker 3 (25:03):
A lot to think about.
It's actually fun.
I spent Friday night and a halfof my stream at the end just
playing out with Mix, withStreamer Bot, like tilling away,
and then even yesterday I didit Honestly.
Speaker 2 (25:14):
I think that's the key.
Like you know, you just saidyou're having fun with it, which
is not something that you weresaying a year or so ago.
You know, until like as long as, like, you keep that, like it's
fun, I'm having fun experiment,do whatever, then it'll be good
, it'll be fine.
You want to?
I don't think you'll getdressed out at all and it
crashes over and over and overand over again.
Speaker 3 (25:33):
But yeah, I said I'll leave, I'll give it a few more
weeks and I'll touch base withit again and just say where
where we're at with it.
But so far it's on the up, I'menjoying it, and obviously this
might fold into a permanent lifespace as a third stream for me.
Now too as well, I can justclick live on tiktok for this so
where can people see you ontwitch and?
(25:54):
bearded underscore over oneverything.
As we said ages ago, you don't,you play it simple.
You get the same name acrossall your socials because you
don't have to worry about asingle thing.
Yep, exactly, except forInstagram.
Because they don't likeunderscores, don't they?
No, they won't allowunderscores, mine won't.
I have to have a dot.
That's why I don't fucking talkto Instagram.
