What was your start on Twitch like?

[DeliveryGodNoah_v1legacy]

So I've started streaming for about a month now. (I know, how shocking, MORE people playing games on the internet)

Today I kind of got my first trolls. I knew it would happen, but I have SEVEN followers. I didn't think it would happen this early.

Anyway, I was curious how any of your experiences have been with streaming? I've been having a tough time remembering everything, such as switching scenes properly when I want to, unmuting game audio, checking chat (The trolls I got started saying a bunch of shit when they realized I wasn't paying attention, only because Twitch chat froze and I wasn't getting anything)

It's been a stressful, almost unrewarding experience so far. Not even my friends help me out that often, if ever, so I can't even judge what I need to change (I'm not going to plug my stream here, as I don't want to gain attention simply from spamming my channel everywhere, but if you're interested in giving friendly critique, I'd message the channel to those wanting to).

I just want to know what stressful stuff happened with you guys and how you've dealt with it. If not at all, then how has your experience been in general? What advice can you offer?

In short: Very brief.

To expand: few years back, one of my housemates got a beta invite for Heartstone and gave me and my other flatmate permission to play and stream it while he was at work, so he could watch it too. So we did. We had five viewers...of which four were our own devices that we tested stuff with. Which meant that, hey, we totally had an actual viewer in the end.

We played for something like hour and a half or two hours and then stopped. I think we might have done another stream but maybe we didn't, can't remember exactly.

Was it stressful? Not really. We actually did pretty well at Heartstone...in retrospect it's probably because everybody we matched against didn't really know how to play. Heck, we didn't but we managed to beat them. We had an entire deck with nothing but creatures - no spells nor weapons and we still won most of the time.

Unfortunately, I don't think I can offer any advice. Erm, keep at it, I guess?

I opened it. Barfed. Closed and vowed to never return to it again.

But if that's your thing, then you do you
