none of you stepped up to the plate

B1ut none of us are DON ROGERS!
How many times has the public clamored for more! 'More Don Rogers!' we cried
But our cries fell upon deaf ears.

I'm saying, instead of clamoring for more of the old stuff, y'all could gotten with the new stuff and helped out instead of forcing me to struggle for a year to get a 3-viewer average. But you didn't. So, when I am a huge hit, and it comes time to thank the little people who made it all possible, GUESS WHO AIN'T ON THE LIST.

(You guys. You guys ain't on the list.)

Right, but I'm telling you - that's a lot of hoops to jump through.

First, we had to make a leap of faith that you would not abandon Twitch.
Then we had to register an account with Twitch.
Then we had to make time at what was like 6AM or 7AM to participate.
And then, what even was participation? Adding something to the text chat?

Come on man. They are not the same thing, a radio show and a Twitch stream. I am glad that you have created a community around it. I'll be sure not to drive them all off, individually and in concert, like you have done to me over the last 20 years. I'm happy for you. But let's not pretend that there wasn't an appeal to the radio show. Nobody ever understood why you didn't want to do it any longer, so of course there's going to be a melancholy interest there.

I tried watching your stream. I can't take it. It's as boring as every other 2-viewer stream on twitch. A dude playing a game while saying absolutely nothing interesting or entertaining, with shitty voice quality.

Ouch. That one's gonna sting for a while.

Ouch. Harsh.

I will say that if anyone did not find the PUBG / Fake News stream to be entertaining then they need to give their blood to their government because they are not using it any longer. That one I can vouch for.

Looking at this three days later: yep, way too harsh.

You did have some kind of pro or semi-pro mic in the past. What happened to it?

My new rig came with a mechanical keyboard, which I thought I'd try for a while, but it was way too loud with the real mic, so I just went with a headset for now.

You probably already know these exist, but just in case you don't:

Alright, the forum seems to delete links to Amazon. Search Amazon for "o-ring dampers".

Yeah, I'm not doing that. If it becomes an issue, I'll just move back to the non-mechanical.

The people who enjoy the stream don't seem to care that I'm using the headset, and if the content is "boring and uninteresting" to you, better voice quality isn't going to change that.

It didn't delete the link, just click on the picture.

Also, I would advice you step it up if you want to get on this year's MVP poll.

One of the things I have noticed about stuff like twitch is that the players stop talking while they are concentrating on the game. I believe that concentration co-efficient takes away from the interesting talking.

I watched a lot of the NES Zelda competitions and they use a play-by-play and a color guy. It makes it way more interesting. Could you, would you add a voice over after the video is recorded? to kinda fill in?

Great stuff! Anyone else have any notes for me? Any other suggestions?

I'd suggest offering cash prizes for good suggestions but I know your reputation.

Great stuff!

I sense sarcasm here

I don't care for Bluetooth.

There is a device in baseball this year called Bluetooth, created by two guys that seem to be working magicians. They weren't baseball fans before making this.

They did not use Bluetooth for this device, which allows catchers to call for a pitch to pitchers:

How about using a Bluetooth device so the pitcher and catcher could just talk with each other? Well, in the words of Craig Filicetti, one of the world’s great builders of magic devices, “Bluetooth sucks. It’s completely unreliable and nobody can figure out how to connect and disconnect. It will never be Bluetooth.”

I will never understand why Bluetooth devices have a god forsaken "hold the button down" mechanism for things starting to work and not a toggle switch. And. And!! They still could have that. They still could!

This article is behind a paywall. Could you tell me what the solution was?

My bluetooth headphones have the "power" button right next to the "rewind" button. It seems to decide randomly every time how long you have to press it down but when i press it down long enough and it doesnt do anything i realize I just rewound the podcast or whatever I was playing to beginning.

SO annoying
