YouTube Party is OVER - Prepare to Twitch!
🕑 Added 2020-04-03 09:15:56 +0000 UTCDear Insane Children,
After several frustrating days and multiple Truly Dumb(tm) interactions with YouTube support, I've decided to throw in the towel. YouTube Studio is so broken that it won't schedule an upcoming live stream properly. Kinda looks like this...
See the date mismatch? Yeah, well that's what makes it impossible for me to know what time I'm actually scheduling for - and what time zone is that? Why are the dates different? Why can't YouTube Support see that this is a problem we can't fix by "rebooting, updating to the latest Chrome, and trying a different encoder." FFS, YouTube!
And, no, I can't test/edit the time/date after the fact because that interface in YouTube Studio Live Room looks like this:
Note the lack of "cancel" and "confirm" buttons at the bottom of that UI panel. Yeah.
ANYWAY...
Tomorrow's YouTube Live Stream is CANCELED.
I am moving to Twitch!
Here's the new home: https://www.twitch.tv/americanmcgee
Am I supposed to ask you to follow me over there? Subscribe? Hit Like? SMASH A FRIKKEN BUTTON!?!? I have no idea! Just DO THE THING!
And please allow me a few more days to finish getting everything set up over there.
I had hoped to get it done today but Yan's mom went back to their hometown after many months stuck in Shanghai. And I am at home alone taking care of Lucky... Need more time!
In Closing
YouTube sucks.
We're moving to twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/americanmcgee
Do THE THING.
I'll announce a time/date for a Twitch stream soon.
Lucky says "thptptptpptpt" (I taught him how to do that. Yay!)

When can we get a live feed of you on twitch?

I was confused as well, but American mentions in the post that he needs time to set up his Twitch account. So it'll be slightly delayed and he'll announce a new time for the Twitch stream.

Is the stream at the same time? Did I miss it? Their notification system barely works.

Wait, so is this a permanent move? The reason I ask is, I've been a monthly subscriber to your youtube account for 1 year and 4 months.

Yes! twitch is so much better than youtube <3 I can finally watch one!!!
Melissa Chanyarlak
Signed up for Twitch today! Good luck!!
Certainly, Dario is creating wonderfull pieces of art!👍 About Twitch ... If you think YouTube is bad... Brace yourself! Hope BEST of lucks to you. I myself won't be even touching It.

Amazing. I am sure this will boost the news about the new game. Sadly twitchers are kinda louder. More text, voice subs and such. I hope it goes well. I'll relay the news and the link to some other webpages.
Sorry to hear that YouTube finally let you down for good. We'll support you wherever you are and you can still upload the videos to YouTube and use the channel as an archive. Looking forward to seeing you and Martin again!!

Welcome to the twitch family. I have not had any major issue with twitch myself and I have been with them for many years. I have already followed you, and I look forward to when you will go live!

Or an affiliate, which would be easy to attain. Though I think the "Verified" tick that comes with partnership would be extremely valuable here.

I'm just so happy to see broadcast :) Funny I just fixed up my twitch account a month ago, hardly ever used it. Now I will!! :)
Rosuav
So happy to see you on Twitch. I hang out there a ton. Hit me up if you want to ask random questions about the platform (although I suspect you know your way around it already).

Btw you can't get superchats on twitch until you become a partner on there

YouTube is shit but its much better with internet speeds. Twitch is shite shite and shite with internet speeds

I can totally sympathize with that frustration, having similar experiences. And that art is gorgeous!
