  • Pirate Software is a such a twat.

    He keeps saying he worked at Blizzard, which is factually correct, but he was a game tester and not a dev; a position he got because his dad worked there. He keeps using his time at Blizzard as some sort of support for his “authority” on the game industry.

    He has had a game in dev for like 8 years and the code is written poorly or heavily relies on AI(exact notation style used by AI), sometimes both. Any criticism of his code is dismissed by saying that it is part of the ARG for the game and intentionally done.

    He tried to gaslight his dad about him not calling on his dad’s birthday by saying he did.

    He doesn’t support Stop Killing Games from an anti-consumer standpoint.

    He does “developer streams” where he puts code on screen and doesn’t actually do any coding(IMO because he can’t actually code with real competence, based on examples of his code).

    He should just put the fries in the bag or pivot his meta.


  • I’m no expert on the higher capabilities of multistream plugins and whatnot. I don’t think you could include twitch chat with the others if you are doing that sort of thing unless filtering chats to a given platform is an option with one instance. All the same, if you are handling the multistream locally you would want to do a dual PC setup if you are a game streamer. A lot of multistreamers use a relay service to reduce processing power while gaming.

    You can multistream everything to everywhere with combined chat, but you have to sanitize the chat so it isn’t apparent that other platforms are combined or which chat is which if they are displayed separately.


  • As a hustle, you should stream on Kick(10x the payout of Twitch) and then edit the vods into algorithm clips for YouTube and tiktok that would funnel to the Kick. You could multistream everywhere for maximum exposure, but that can get troublesome depending on how active chat is because you need to keep up and Twitch doesn’t allow you to display other chats on screen.

    These days it is really hard to get going in streaming and youtube, so you really just need to cast a wide net and really work on refining your content. It takes years to get a decent second income, unless a big streamer reacts to you and then you have to try and keep the new subs without turning away the OGs.













  • They are generally paid well over a living wage for a position that a citizen could occupy at a market wage that is even higher. Median tech job income is over $100k, twice the national average.

    Hiring a citizen costs more, so profit chasing dictates hiring an immigrant that can be paid less than market rate. Hiring an immigrant under an H1-B not only is cheaper in wages, but also gives the company more power over the employee because they can fire that person and then they get deported for not being sponsored.

    Hiring an H1-B at a cheaper rate also suppresses wages for citizens.

    Unemployment in tech is like 3%, we don’t need H1-B visa for tech jobs. We don’t even need H1-Bs for the industries with the highest unemployment, they need to increase wages to attract the nearly 7 million unemployed in the US, and there are even more people that are underemployed or have given up because wages are too low across the board.

    Is that because you lived a life so unremarkable that nobody would want to look at photographs of you, even for historical source material or are you so miserable that you don’t want any photographs of yourself because when you look at them all you can see is the pain in your eyes that only you can see through the lie of a smile you use to protect others from knowing the depths of your despair?
