it was the game that got the review that sparked FNAF

Fun fact the moral Scott proposes in the globglogabgalabs story is thst reading secular literature that isn't the Bible turns you away from god

... on one hand, inspiring. If the guy that made the most cursed piece of media i have ever seen with my eyes and still managed to make a game popular enough to make him rich, i can make it. On the other hand, Holy Jesus.

I don't mind a little bit, but it's been what .. 35 minutes already talking about this

I don't think Thor's looking at Kick, as Zigag mentioned about a possible fix with World Guard update

he got to it, but it was after he fixed the issue. what i posted wouldn't have fixed anything

[civic vector]

Ah

I've only got unlogged in Kick open because if you have 3 Twitch streams open, Twitch doesn't pay out on ads (or Turbo) to every streamer

And since I've got the Ferrets up and a friend who's just had an "issue" with his work vehicle, might as well make sure those two get funds right now

[steel reef]

That last TTS reminded me of another impressive guy that I heard of...

Basically Onion can't run Infowars because Texas Courts said no ... so more legal delays (weirdly who's funding Alex Jones' legal battle ...)

[river cargo]

Trump turning on alex jones has to be one of the craziest plot twists this year

[worthy ivy]

I don't get why they want it - Infowars was kind of a parody of itself already
it's not like the onion are kings of satire themselves any more...
infowars as-is is better satire than the onion can hope to spit out under the brand

[blissful imp]

i posted this in kick chat, but for anyone here interested this was before the crash that took Alex Zanardi's legs in 2001, but in 1996 Zanardi did 1 of the craziest passes in racing history to win the race and the series championship. https://youtu.be/WuwiqivkKCg

thought i'd share since someone brought up Zanadi's passing in tts

[worthy ivy]

plus I like to play "oh, that's what alex jones was talking about when he was ranting almost incoherently" bingo on occasion

[civic vector]

Part of the reason was to cut off Jones' bullshit under that name, and also that Onion co-owns it with the Sandyhook survivors, so they'll get money from ads and sales

[worthy ivy]

that makes more sense - I'm thinking "why do the onion want it?" but it's not the onion wants it so much as the sandyhook peeps

onion still suxs these days though
are they getting any of the staff and writers and that or just the branding?

[civic vector]

Just the branding it seems

Ah, Automod hates one of the words there

But the problem is that we're living in a time where what was political parody is now political fact, especially in the place we burnt down in 1814

[worthy ivy]

I have identified the exact moment satire died and have each year since marked the date with a solemn moment

infowars was such a parody in itself i would have believed the onn already owned it

Twitch has updated the Bits Acceptable Use policy for the first time since 2018.

Key changes:
- Bits can now ONLY be used for things on Twitch. (An explicit ban on using Bits for anything off-platform or of monetary value, ie. Movie Night, Merch, etc.)
- Much stricter

X · May 6, 2026, 5:57 PM

[river island]

Didn't know bits could be used off twitch lol

Seems like money laundering 101 if you could XD

[wintry coyote]

you couldnt. some streamers just had stuff availeable for certain bits amounts. that is now banned.

[river island]

Ah

So like game keys

Merch

Etc

[wintry coyote]

yup.

[river island]

Also, love you guys

[distant rapids]

... can you still do channel points redeems for stuff like that?

[azure finch]

Yeah, you can still do channel points for stuff like that.

This is almost certainly to comply with laws consisting of using an intermediary currency.

A lot of games get slapped with similar rules because the in-game currency is often a way to obscure your actual purchasing power. But in this case it covers someone paying for something unscrupulous.

From a legal standpoint that is.

Whereas channel points are not converting currency into potential real life actions.

As I understand reading it, bits for actions taken on-stream are valid. "Eat a pickle" for example is allowed. But "redeem 100 bits to get access to external site" is not.

[proud depot]

So if the review bombing didn't kill the bits for games reward, then this would have

[azure finch]

They just don't want you converting on-site payments into offsite issue.

I don't think so. Since it was channel points, which can still be used for those things.

"Gain access to discord for X channel points" is still technically allowed. Just you can't charge people real money for it.

(It's weird, but some communities resorted to channel points, so you have to pass a vibe check on Twitch over a period of time before you get Discord access)

Thor will likely have to look into this.

Specifically this part, because of the way the bit goal has been turned into subs for the channel in the past.

[coarse python]

wait
did the tax evasion hot dog fail us at last

[split tulip]

IRS always got theirs. You pay sales tax when buying bits, streamer pays income tax on what they receive

tho it could be used as an intermediary currency. well still can, but against tos

[tribal bloom]

It's probably at least a little bit of a liability issue. If the thing you're getting is off twitch, there's no way to say what (if anything) you're actually recieving

Well, not strict liability since twitch themselves wouldn't be liable, but it looks bad for them though

[brisk sparrow]

"officially kills ads to bits" thats been dead for years atp

[wheat sleet]

Much more efficient to use kicks at this point. Very little overhead

[ocean agate]

wonder if Thor knows about this https://x.com/Pirat_Nation/status/2052116691174195612?s=20

Pirat_Nation 🔴 (@Pirat_Nation)

The pirate survival game “Windrose” had a serious hidden problem: it was killing your SSD without you knowing.

Normal gameplay like walking around your base caused it to write up to 108 GB of data to your SSD every hour.

This stemmed from an inefficient save system using

Other than the actual patch notes that mention the bug has been fixed?

oop

ive got an inherent distrust of pirat so wanna be sure

[tribal bloom]

Completely fair.
It was reported on a few places. I don't know if they specifically acknowledged that they were the cause of damage to SSDs, just that there was some kind of bug causing an unnecessarily high disc usage.

[subtle gate]

I'm wondering if infusing water into a bowl with refrigerated meat in the microwave is a good way to reinvigorate the meat

[wheat sleet]

💀

[minor nymph]

[coarse python]

brother, what the [expletive] are you doing with your free will

[subtle gate]

using the leftovers

[warped venture]

Damp paper towel

[wheat sleet]

If Twitch takes all the bits away from the orphans, there will be problems

[subtle gate]

am I supposed to surround the meat with the damp paper towels

[coarse python]

what are you talking about 'will be problems' when thor already takes all the bits

[warped venture]

You can just fold it and set it ontop
Its how I reheat rice/pasta so it doesn't dry out

[subtle gate]

I'll have to try that

[golden latch]

If youve ever had to, you can rehydrate with steam then boiling in broth is one of the best ways to reinvigorate beef jerky for soups and stews. Done it with hamburger with limited success

[warped venture]

Mmmm thats a good idea

I sometimes reheat meat in a pan with a lid on low heat, just really depends tho

[carmine sierra]

Another trick I've seen for rice is to put a cup of water in the microwave with it
Not entirely sure how effective it is

[worthy ivy]

just slap it on the counter and give it a good bashing with the meat hammer (or a rolling pin if you don't have one)

meat reinvigorated and ready to go

[golden latch]

Ive gotten old chicken to work on a slow water reheat in a crock pot but only for pulled/jerked but it does make it last longer

[wheat sleet]

There are places you can get a tailored news experience, but then you're letting someone or something else decide for you. They could have a particular opinion or political view that skews the objective facts, so getting the same story from different sources can give you a broader perspective.

[umbral moat]

Wait, it's Thursday.

I'm so confused now.

[junior jasper]

Ok now i listen this

[junior jasper]

Thor is going to stream only on kick if im not wrong

[dusky void]

unheard of! a Thorsday stream?

[blissful imp]

Kick thursdays

this should be an exclusive stream

he's been trying to do this, but something gets in the way

[river island]

Its Thursday, he can take as long as he wants, any stream is a gift

[wheat sleet]

It's not a kick exclusive stream, it's a makeup for the unexpected day off. Kick exclusives are a waste of time and money

[junior jasper]

Yeah

[blissful imp]

what makes you say that? we don't know as he hasn't tried a kick exclusive yet

[soft root]

Exclusive streams alienate the audience, especially for people with georestrictions

[ocean agate]

i imagine if he hasnt heard back from his partner manager he wont stream twitch today. #streamchat message with the ToS change being uncertain if it impacts the bit goal

[wheat sleet]

Or predjudices

[fleet rune]

Howso? Kick is highly lucrative at the moment, and streaming only on Kick doubles that

[blissful imp]

i'd imagine it'll be a gain of a little over 100 viewers. plus since it'd be an exclusive stream kick wont end up taking away 50% which means a big gain in revenue.

[wheat sleet]

Cutting out 90% of the audience is stupid

[fleet rune]

Totally, but that's a different point entirely lol

[blissful imp]

For 1 day, when he streams the rest on all 3?????

And he normally doesn't stream on thursdays.

[ocean agate]

the point of an exclusive day is to see how many ppl would open kick instead of twitch, if twitch isnt an option

[fleet rune]

I was only talking money wise, which you mentioned, not the community aspect

[wheat sleet]

It's the same amount of time and work for much less money, with the possibility of pissing off community members that can't or won't use Kick

A losing game

[blissful imp]

no. i'm pretty sure thor has said its to test the increased revenue he'd get doing an exclusive kick stream. because normally atm kick gives out more revenue while multistreaming which of course takes away 50%.

[ocean agate]

and thats fine, because if thats what that data shows its what it shows. the point is to have the reciept not just assume

[soft root]

Exactly like I said. It alienates part of the audience and doesn't account for georestrictions and things like that.

[blissful imp]

So what would be the increase? more people would join on kick of course.

[static otter]

Thorsday stream 😂

[wheat sleet]

Eddie's interview was test enough

[ocean agate]

1 is hardly a sample size

[blissful imp]

that wasn't exclusive tho. youtube still existed for that

[obtuse spear]

wait what, he gunna stream on thorsday?

[junior jasper]

Why so negative? I dont understand?

[blissful imp]

its the internet in 2026

[blissful imp]

thor has said that thursday isn't meant to be his "break day" its the whatever he wants to do day. So if he wants to stream he could, but obviously doesn't mean he will.

[dusky void]

I thought he called it his weekend

[obtuse spear]

i mean its good , I do feel empty without his stream

[ocean agate]

its Thorsday anyway, so ...... most the time there is no stream, so if its on kick and you dont want to support kick. than dont.

[blissful imp]

Is a weekend a break tho?

only if your a child going to school, but for adults not really

[dusky void]

fair point, I rarely really take a break on the weekends

[ocean agate]

piratesoftware is a workaholic, the dude goes on vacation and does work shit most the time....like twitch con and shit....sleeps only like 5 hours (most days) .... and worst of all..... i think he enjoys it [shudders]

[dusky grove]

unheard of

[blissful imp]

well. no one hates doing work. its the job part. working can be fun but when its your job it gets really shit.

[dusky grove]

he's the worker the boomers claim to be with their "Back in my day we worked 200 hours a week with no overtime pay"

[ocean agate]

i mean....i remember my first job. i found a way to go like 9 months without a day off. than the owner found out.... the schedule became a bit more rigid after that

......damn that was like 20 years ago......god i feel old now

[fresh ginkgo]

Thorsday stream?!

[ocean agate]

unless he was only half awake and just said to let everyone know an hour late not knowing the day

[fresh ginkgo]

Shaye said "stream will start"

[blissful imp]

yes. possibly a kick exclusive stream as he's been wanting to do this to test the increased revenue from exclusively streaming on there for thursday only.

Also #streamchat message

[ocean agate]

also there is might be an issue with the bit goal and the twitch terms of service, so if there has been no news on that he probably wont want to stream on twitch

[blissful imp]

he's really not happy with twitch tho.

[dusky grove]

is anyone?

[fresh ginkgo]

Wait are we losing the twitch streams?!

[dusky grove]

at this point, everything is just picking the lesser of the evils among the options.

[soft root]

IF the exclusivity is worth it, we'd lose Youtube as well, not just twitch.

[dusky grove]

nothing is purely good anymore. everything has a catch, its just a matter of which ones are you fine with

[fresh ginkgo]

I don't even HAVE this new platform

[blissful imp]

Also there is this he said yesterday in genchat #general_chat message

About someone saying kick is great

[ocean agate]

twitch also made it so u can stream stuff like omoogle (not sure if spelled right) some random video thing..... i ..... thing that is a bad direction for twitch to take.

they had a number of noteable staff apparently leave, and it might be due to new policies or direction and might show a bad direction for the future. we will have to wait and see

[dusky grove]

afaik kick behind the scenes is pretty much twitch since they both use amazon stuff, unless they changed things

so i don't see anything major changing with the stream itself aside from where it is

[blissful imp]

App or desktop? its a free app. its technically better than twitch mobile app, but it does have issues still currently.

just search kick in the app store

[fresh ginkgo]

Am I the only one who feels like being forced to install an entirely new app is a bit nuts?

[dusky grove]

I'm out of the loop. is this move just for his streams or for the ferrets too?

[ocean agate]

what does the pog face mean?

[steel reef]

Or just watch it in browser. 🤷‍♀️
Heck, that's what I do with Twitch even when I'm stuck on my phone...

[dusky grove]

then don't. vote with your view, or lack thereof

[ocean agate]

the ferrets are on all 3 already

[pearl wasp]

Stream kick only and alienate twitch viewers. They’ll see themselves as not important, money is, and stop watching or feel disconnected from the community. Great way to kill off the community bit by bit.

[blissful imp]

you're not being forced. its only for thursdays. just treat today like any other thursday and wait until tomorrow if this is an exclusive kick thursday stream.

[dusky grove]

like, legit? cuz it's just shorthand for "that was cool" because the og guy whose name escapes me rn did it after something happened in a game of pogs

[fresh ginkgo]

The conversation made it sound like he was considering kick-only for the full future

[ocean agate]

if u dont want to get an app or sign up, than dont. this will show him how much is willing to do it and wont thats good data to have

[silver stump]

this is slippery slope fallacy

[blissful imp]

Pogs. its an old board game. i leaned it was a thing because of the internet

[dusky void]

what are we talking about 😭 what alienation is there if the platform is free? You aren't even seeing ads so you can't complain that you don't have a sub there

[blissful imp]

no.

nonoononononoononooooooooooooo

only for thursday

[rapid scarab]

looks to me some people made the decision to not engage with kick, but somehow blame the streamer for the consecuences of that decision

[steel reef]

Heck, can even open Discord in phone browser by going to https://discord.com/channels/@me in the browser. (Note that it gives a different UI depending on whether you have the tab on "desktop mode" or not.)

[dusky grove]

though, speaking of streams, I still need to watch the vod of chants...

[wicked schooner]

Thor has said full exclusivity is dumb and he wont do it

[umbral moat]

Kick Only. Forever.

[obtuse spear]

i dont think hes pursuing exclusive.
he himself said not gonna put all his eggs in one basket

[coarse python]

And we need to update ours to the lizard since the og guy got into some horrible something or other iirc

[blissful imp]

no. THAT wouldn't be smart

[pearl wasp]

Don’t use , want to use or can’t use the platform. Free doesn’t mean anything if it’s not viable

[rapid scarab]

as a comunity we should know better

[ocean agate]

its more like if twitch goes to hell where its no longer a good platform he might not want to support their direction and leave platform. but for now no such plans that we are aware of. just making sure to see whats viable

[steel reef]

I have this... 😛

[rapid scarab]

[fresh ginkgo]

I get dragged along because everyone else does and being alone aint healthy for me.

[wintry sluice]

But what will happen to my 430+ Watchstreak then?

[rapid scarab]

if you decide not to use kick is very valid, but shiting and crying because the decisio actually has consecuences is kinda sad

[coarse python]

Straight to Fraud /// 3
/ref

[umbral moat]

Man, and here I am opening both streams for double the TTS channel points.

[blissful imp]

you aren't alone. many people aren't going on to kick as they don't like it atm.

And again this is only for thursday.

[steel reef]

I suppose that as long as no streams happen there, it'll never reset?

[ocean agate]

....well if there is no stream the streak is paused till you miss a stream, but i dont think kick has a streak system.....or hype train sadly

[blissful imp]

unless obs messes up

[silver stump]

but if you refuse to move at all you fall to sunk cost fallacy, and two more things this would just be a thursdays thing and maybe just the once even, and its one move you are exagerating a little

[dusky grove]

while theoretically free, in reality many people will just not bother. I mean, think of how many messaging apps there are and how some people only use 1 or 2 or 3. My family, particularly the older ones, mostly chats on facebook messenger, with only my generation being on discord. Sure, there will be some that don't mind, but many people will be like "It aint broke, don't change it. and if you do, I aint coming along"

[terse pelican]

I tried that, but for some reason, the Kick stream ''freezes'' if it's not the focused Tab

[wintry sluice]

Oh yea, never thought about that. you're right. ^^

[steel reef]

Odd, never had that issue on my computer. What browser? Using Firefox here.

[fresh ginkgo]

So less "alienation", more "fragmentation"

[silver stump]

twitch does that for me when an ad plays

[terse pelican]

OperaGX, and it's Only used for Twitch/Kick

[dusky void]

I mean sure, that was my approach too for the interview but I just opened it in a browser. You don't even have to make an account if people don't want to bother with it.

[blissful imp]

there's the issue. operagx is garbage.

[wintry sluice]

And just a question, Why a Thorsday stream? No free day today for our King and Savior?

[night tartan]

Thor snoozed the stream 😄

[blissful imp]

and probably spyware

[blissful imp]

"5 more minutes"

[night tartan]

Exactly"Just few more

[terse pelican]

Most Browsers are garbage in one way or another

[ocean agate]

well just like programing languages. if one was best the other wouldnt exist

[coarse python]

I vote to revolt and enforce minimum rest days

[dusky grove]

That's true, but we don't see that in practice. I mean, even before the kick streams, there were some people that only watched on twitch and some that only watched on youtube. Plus, we can look back on other things like Ninja moving to Mixer or Disguised Toast moving to facebook live. An audience is not guaranteed to follow the star wherever they go

even if the content is the same

[blissful imp]

Firefox has many issues atm but its mostly due to most sites not supporting it as its less popular. i initially used Firefox on kick then switched to Helium(a new privacy based chromium browser which is very good so far) after 7tv wouldn't work correctly on firefox.

[terse pelican]

Pretty much, and since I only use it for watching Streams, So that I can keep the tabs from my other browser Tabs, It works fine

[wintry sluice]

I just hope he doesn't overdo it and takes time to rest.

[terse pelican]

Twitch started to act weird when I was using Brave, Saying unsupported browser, Hence why I went with OperaGX

[steel reef]

Ah. Using Firefox for everything here. Though I may switch to r3dfox in mid-September depending on what Mozilla decides in July...

[pearl wasp]

This reminds me of the CS rule that for every one who complains many more don’t. They will act in silence and not be noticed until it’s too late. To each their own.

[fresh ginkgo]

i personally use a userjs for firefox called Hardened Firefox which improves it by a ton imo. removes a lot of mozilla stuff from it.

if you wanna try out a Firefox fork, try out Zen browser. its very good.

[blissful imp]

for when the hardware arrives

[terse pelican]

I hope it arrives soon

[terse pelican]

That game looked super fun

[fresh ginkgo]

I dunno when he will, but he confirmed he will

[blissful imp]

he's also been meaning to stream Vintage Story ever since the devs sent him a gift.

[coarse python]

I'm down for some Chrono Trigger

[dusky void]

like it was said earlier - if people don't want to support kick that's understandable. Not everyone vibes with every platform and that was probably the case for these examples too. At the same time if people are indifferent to kick and the only issue is that "I need to install this new thing" or "I need to create yet another account" it's just creating a fake barrier and a reason to complain while if all you want to do is watch a stream then just open a website and see if you like it there or not.

[terse pelican]

Or pipe the Stream side into VLC and watch that way

[coarse python]

Also this
I would play on a server with this seemingly decent enough community... if I had the game!

[terse pelican]

So many games with so much potential.

[coarse python]

Wait what how

[blissful imp]

this is the game price for Vintage story.

https://www.vintagestory.at/

[coarse python]

Vintage Story, BoI: Repentance, Neon Odyssey, god I need employment

[fresh ginkgo]

It's not a fake barrier if it's based in exhaustion at having to do so over and over and over for a bunch of different things.

I've completely lost track how many chat clients I went through before anchoring down to discord because I just don't have the mental bandwidth to keep jumping around

[pearl wasp]

Remember when chat programs had the ability to seamlessly connect to different services without much of an issue.

[terse pelican]

With something called ''Streamlink''

[blissful imp]

that's perfectly fine. Actually @rapid scarab has both the twitch app and kick app, but only uses the twitch chat while watching via the kick stream.

Also. kick revenue goes towards the ferret rescue. and has very much been useful for it

[coarse python]

Huh. Neat

[full kite]

I almost missed Thor streaming on a Thursday

[rapid scarab]

kick video usually dont have the abysmal delay twitch one has

[wicked schooner]

Does it still count as a view though?

[coarse python]

VLC gains even more power

[terse pelican]

I don't know, But I doubt it, I assume it just 'hijacks' the video end and pipes it into VLC

[civic vector]

Yeah, I don't think it counts alas

[wicked schooner]

Sadge

[restive grotto]

I've never actually though of doing that. I might do that too, especially if kick has less of a delay that twitch does.

[tender field]

Can confirm. Kick has less delay

[fresh ginkgo]

GOBLINS.
BEHOLD.

\o/

[rapid scarab]

and I can tecnically switch easily between chats

[restive copper]

Reminder that you can see your delay on twitch and can always toggle the low latency buttion to fix it

[coarse python]

Incredible

[blissful imp]

VLC actually is disliked by many people as its outdated in certain areas and doesn't support many modern stuff.

[pearl wasp]

I only have 1s to less than 1s to streamer delay. How much are you getting that it’s a problem?

[tender field]

777s on kick chat

[blissful imp]

https://tenor.com/view/there-it-is-well-there-it-is-gif-8569483

[steel reef]

The main advantage to VLC is that it'll play just about anything you throw at it, no need to install additional codecs to the computer or anything since it brings its own, just go for it.

[terse pelican]

Yup

[rapid scarab]

open kick, make it little window, make window big with fingers

have twitch chat only below

tbf kick chat gets weird if you go back so I use center phone button to go back to twitch chat

[restive grotto]

Ew mobile

[rapid scarab]

yeh

[blissful imp]

Kick mobile is better than twitch mobile, but still has a lot of work to do

[steel reef]

Like how https://www.twitch.tv/ferretsoftware/chat/ will redirect to https://www.twitch.tv/popout/ferretsoftware/chat with just the chat?
(With kick you can't just add /chat/ to the end for a friendly redirect, need to actually go to https://kick.com/popout/ferretsoftware/chat

[pearl wasp]

Twitch mobile is horrid. So many ads vs web

[full kite]

Did Thor start stream? Twitch is being funny for me

[steel reef]

I never actually installed the app on my phone, I just use the browser for Twitch/Kick/Discord/etc.

[rapid scarab]

I dont like either but use both to make it work, kinda

[blissful imp]

Kick only #streamchat message

The only reason I'll ever touch mobile is if I'm watching someone and I want to go cook something.

Good morning to you too, RED.

[vernal stone]

Sad this is a kick only stream.

[fleet rune]

That's the only thing I dislike about Kick so far, is the incouragement to spam single emotes. Makes chat harder to read

[frozen sonnet]

I can’t watch on kick so I’ll have to skip this stream

[ocean agate]

paste, but you have to fight meatball for it

[fleet rune]

Regional issue?

[frozen sonnet]

Sadly so

[fleet rune]

Can't use a VPN either?

[frozen sonnet]

I mostly watch on my phone so no VPN

[pearl wasp]

Phones can use vpn’s

[frozen sonnet]

It’s all good I’ll just catch the next twitch stream

[vernal stone]

I just refuse to use kick. They have let to much stuff go unchecked for to long. I don't mind if Thor streams on it, but I don't want to participate with it.

[carmine charm]

in my case kick refuses to use me, its the second time ive tried to sign up for it, the first time was during the interview with the CEO, i complete all steps with no ptoblems and it doesnt let me finish by giving me some "error" after accepting the terms and conditions. I technically can watch the stream but not having an account sucks, so no stream for me either today i guess

[silver stump]

quick post cursed stuff

[minor nymph]

Might be ad blocker?

[frank hemlock]

[fresh ginkgo]

alternatively, try from a different browser

[slender sequoia]

vpn? cookies or browser cache? interfering addons? this cloudflare not-a-bot checks can sometimes be very iffy

[frank hemlock]

Usually we only have like, 100 or so people on Kick so the chat is very slow compared to Twitch. I try not to cover the last chat though so its not all emotes xD

[quartz shell]

Why...

[slender sequoia]

because gamedevs in fact dont want you to buy their games, thats why they set prices so high Kappa

[dry osprey]

Cant watch stream since work laptops deny kick and twitch

[frank hemlock]

Because the land down under is full of crime nods 🇬🇧

Is it just me or is Thor only live on Kick?

[quartz shell]

Yes.

[chrome hill]

kick partner program pays double if you dont multistream, so hes testing it.

[winter sierra]

same feelings here

plus i really dont watch thor at all anymore, i watch the ferrets only lol

[prisma dawn]

Blah, it requires age verification to make an account

[blissful imp]

yes. When you multistream on Kick they take away 50% revenue and it still pays out more than Twitch even with that nerf.

When kick only that 50% removal is gone, meaning you get double the amount. 501 viewers rn. normally 100 i'd say.

KPP is per viewer per hour

Can someone who understands steam bundles better explain this to me?
The normal bundle price is unchanged. If I bought the base game, how much would that change the bundle price by?

[restive grotto]

The bundle takes into account the base discount

[quartz shell]

So... how would it calculate the cost? Because it normally costs this much without the base game discount. $105.

[blissful imp]

it would just cost the expansion which is lord of hatred

[quartz shell]

So... no different from buying the lord of hatred expansion, but you also get vessel?

[blissful imp]

yes. Vessel you can no longer buy. its apart of lord of hatred

[restive grotto]

Lord of hatred includes Vessel, yeah. The only difference if you bought the base game separate would be how many steps you would need to take to buy everything.

[quartz shell]

Ah, righto.

So, regardless if I bought the bundle before hand, or bought the base game now with the discount, and then the bunde/expansion, I would end up paying the same amount?

[restive grotto]

Yep

Exactly the same either way.

[quartz shell]

Dammit blizzard.

[frank hemlock]

Normally Steam will deduct the cost of already owned items in a bundle

[restive grotto]

^

[frank hemlock]

It'll also warn you if buying something seperatly is actually cheaper from a bundle

[quartz shell]

Yeah, but I was wondering how much. If it just goes to $60 it's no different to than buying the bundle as is. So the discount on the base game is a trap.

[frank hemlock]

It should tell you what your savings are before actually confirming purchase to compare

[nimble moss]

😆 I can't make a kick user because of my email has a Dot in it.
(also some one have my user name but i can't see them when searching for the user 🤷‍♂️ )

the username thing happened to me on Twitch. i remember searching to see who used it on twitch and nothing popped up.

There's one in mine.
I got in

[nimble moss]

mine got Letters _ . @ in it and it hated it for some reason

[fresh ginkgo]

It hated the @ ???

That's even more nonsensical, and at that point a blatant bug

[nimble moss]

like i don't know what triggered the hate

[fresh ginkgo]

Because I'm pretty sure you can't actually have an email address without @<email site> at the end

[blissful imp]

Fae and Arthour doing emote spam

[nimble moss]

I tried it again now after 10min give or take. now it's not complaining about email for some reason 🤔

[frank hemlock]

We've had our fun though xD

[nimble moss]

@fresh ginkgo I even tried to force the error this time and nothing 🤔 now i'm realy confused. *okay it was when you klick the sign up it says it

[tender field]

hey, Thor is getting recommended in the homepage

[frank hemlock]

Best work around I can suggest is to use your Goggle account to make one on Kick?

[frank hemlock]

[fresh ginkgo]

You will get so much glue that you will hate it and never want it again

[frank hemlock]

Impossible

[fresh ginkgo]

THE MONKEYS HAVE A GLUE MACHINE GUN. DO NOT TEMPT FATE.

[frank hemlock]

The monkeys underestimate my glue consumption.

[wicked schooner]

https://tenor.com/view/glue-meme-discord-food-glue-on-food-gif-22371166

[fresh ginkgo]

Fine then

I will channel my atelier gamer mode and hoard every single glue in existence so you can't have any

It shall fuel my alchemy

[nimble moss]

found the problem with the Email..... so 1 dot is fine but 2 is like 😈 try again

[frank hemlock]

You attempts will fail.

[frank hemlock]

Their auto recognistion must not be able to read it as a normal email with the extra dots, maybe

[wicked schooner]

Im guessing it only accounts for 1-2 dots at the part after the @ (.com.<country code>)

It doesnt comprehend more than 2 dots maybe

[wicked schooner]

Is the 500 char limit only on the web version?

[nova spindle]

Yes, thor has notified kick about the limit on mobile as well. but for now 500tts is on PC only.

[wicked schooner]

Sadge

[nova spindle]

You can open a webbrowser and display it in desktop mode to access 500 tts on mobile

[wicked schooner]

I'll wait until i get home

Not an urgent tts

Soon you all will hear one of my driest jokes

[exotic forge]

2nd highest?

[tender field]

As of right now. He's not showing up anywhere in the homepage...

[terse pelican]

Shows up under the ''games'' section on the Home-tab

[gray fable]

Seems like an algorithm thing

[tender field]

I opened in incognito so the algorithm does not affect anything

Does this happen to anyone else? Kick does not seem to store any of my settings. I watch in 360p, but after refresh it goes back to Auto.

Cookies must only save login data...

[terse pelican]

Browser settings maybe?

[coarse niche]

So is this vod only gonna be on Kick, or do y'all think Thor will move it over to youtube as a vid?

[terse pelican]

Kick only I assume, Don't think he moves the Vods over unless he's making Pants out of it ( Longform Video )

[river cargo]

Likely kick only? Most of thor's vods automatically save on youtube

[blissful imp]

yea its a bug. thor reported it to them already

[quartz shell]

PoE2 is adding a goblin shaman skin.

[wicked schooner]

PoE2 gonna have chatMD

[quartz shell]

There's actually TWO goblins! A green one and a pale one!

[restive grotto]

I know how to spot a masochist when I see one.

I play games the way I do for a reason.

[tender field]

the game i mentioned to thor a few minutes ago

I am really excited for this game, i hope it doesn't get canceled

[restive grotto]

That looks really cool.

[gray fable]

the release date hasn't been given yet, but so far everything looks fantastic

[junior jasper]

Brother?

[lament sun]

bruh

what's going on

is the twitch stream offline

?

[tribal bloom]

Yes. He's streaming on just Kick today as a test

[silver stump]

#streams message

[lament sun]

KPP ? what's that now ?

[tribal bloom]

Since Kick doesn't have ads (currently) they pay a specific rate per viewer instead. The amount changes depending on whether you are multi-streaming or not so Thor is testing to see what it is when he isn't multi-streaming

[lament sun]

... is he planning on leaving twitch now ?

[tribal bloom]

No?

[lament sun]

i guess i need to internalize the news now

thanks Steel

[wintry coyote]

Kick Partner Program is what my brain tells me.

[exotic forge]

So Kick isn't making any money atm? Is the rate per viewer significantly less than what Twitch would pay since it isn't subsidized by ads yet or is Kick just going to lose plenty of money while trying to grow

[pearl wasp]

Kick is supported by its stake gambling parent company.

[tribal bloom]

They're losing money to grow right now. The plan is to slowly shift to a more sustainable model once they have a large enough userbase to support it

[exotic forge]

Makes sense

[tribal bloom]

I think the KPP is actually higher than ad-revenue rate on twitch, but don't quote me on that since ad revenue varies heavily

[pearl wasp]

Kick pays more. No money coming in, but it pays more. Good luck finding how much it pays directly from kick sources, publicly available. Just sayin

[brisk sparrow]

theyre doing a lot to separate from this atm

[pearl wasp]

Only surface level. Facts are different. Without gambling and the money from gambling kick could not exist. That’s a simple fact no matter how much they say they don’t promote gambling.

[tribal bloom]

Well, they're demonetizing gambling streams and don't advertise anything gambling related on kick (AFAIK), so that's a good start

I understand the skepticism though. The gambling and prediction market industry is scummy as hell

[brisk sparrow]

I dont disagree that they might still be using that money, but if they have a lot of it might as well until they get more advertisers

[tribal bloom]

My issue with kick is that regardless of whether they're trying to separate it from the gambling side of things, it's still funded by it.
It's like the john oliver quote from his most recent video

“Every family fortune is built on the blood of strangers.”

[pearl wasp]

Meh. Look at the source. Doesn’t matter what they do if they are directly dependant on it.

[pearl wasp]

This exactly

[tribal bloom]

They're trying to not be dependent on it. The goal is to move away from it over time.

[brisk sparrow]

at the moment, theyre really in a catch 22 kinda situation. they could abandon the money, and collapse the platform. or use it to support moving away from it

im all for the latter

[pearl wasp]

Also, exclusivity is exclusionary.
Can’t support that

[restive grotto]

There are a LOT of normal stores people go to that are funded by scummy practices.

[brisk sparrow]

I wish snoy got this

[pearl wasp]

Road to hell is paved with good intentions

[ocean agate]

ferret stream funded by ads (aka. corpo greed) used to keep ferrets that would otherwise be euthanized a live and healthy for as long as they can be to live a good life.

[tribal bloom]

While true, I think I'm allowed to personally believe that gambling and prediction market companies are pretty high up there on the scummy charts

[brisk sparrow]

The stairway out of hell is just as treacherous

[pearl wasp]

Doesn’t mean I have to shop or support them.

[brisk sparrow]

if anything, its harder to get out than it is to fall in

and we arent saying you have to

[restive grotto]

No yeah, not telling you you're wrong. It's just most people forget that there are normal stuff that fall into that category as well. You're perfectly valid in drawing your own lines.

[tribal nest]

You could also make the argument that while they're trying to move away from being funded by gambling, it's actually a good thing they're taking money away from that platform.

[pearl wasp]

Stake will still make money. It’s an investment

[tribal nest]

Not if Kick isn't actively promoting their website

[brisk sparrow]

my perspective is: you can not like/use/want something all you want. but not acknowledging when someone/something is trying to improve, even if its only for societal value then its wrong to not recognise it. acknowledge the good, but don't forget the bad.

[pearl wasp]

Stake is the parent company. They OWN kick

[vernal stone]

There is also that streamer that died back in August from harassment. Kick just leaves a bad taste no matter what for me.

[tribal nest]

It's like how a lot of geophysicists have their studies funded by oil companies in the hope that those people will work for them. But most of the geophysicists ignore their job offers and sometimes even do work that actively goes against those oil companies

Basically, take the money and run

[brisk sparrow]

not according to what im finding online

oh ok i see it

[pearl wasp]

Ya, they are one and the same. Same owners

[brisk sparrow]

doesnt mean stake owns kick

they are partnered though

[pearl wasp]

Same wallet

[ocean agate]

died from harassment.... they killed themselves? or died bc of some form of harassment?

[terse pelican]

I just know a French Streamer died while Live on Kick, But I wouldn't apply the cause to Kick specificly

[pearl wasp]

Not sure I’ll be continuing my sub after almost two years. Wonder how many others will follow suit. Oh well.

Multistreaming is one thing.
Kick only, na.
Oh well, to each their own.

[brisk sparrow]

hes only testing it today

not moving permanently

[pearl wasp]

No, he’ll be doing more kick only streams

[tribal nest]

If my memory serves correctly, I do think Kick sold merch related to how he died...

Which is a pretty disgusting thing to do

[terse pelican]

He's not going to give up on Twitch/Youtube, He's simply taking a day, For now to test out the waters

[ocean agate]

thursday is a non stream day anyway normaly, and is the only day planned to be possibly kick only and he said he is going to do stuff he doesnt do on twitch so ppl dont miss out on redgular content

[pearl wasp]

Exclusivity is exclusionary.
F that.

[brisk sparrow]

thor has explicitly stated that today is a test. he knows that moving to a different platform as the main would kill the audience

[azure glen]

Until he puts up a news post about his full intentions, best to not start speculating about all of this.

[pearl wasp]

He has said it. I’ve seen the clips

[brisk sparrow]

all he is doing is seeing what the payout is for non-multistream kick since he likes to see that kind of data

share one then.

[ocean agate]

he specifically said he has no intention of dropping twitch and or youtube

[azure glen]

And why complain about an extra day of stream. Thursday is normally his day off 🤷

[terse pelican]

He has mentioned 'Kick Only Thursdays' Which is a day he doesn't normally stream anyway, It's not like he cuts away his normal streamtime for it

[pearl wasp]

Don’t want to drive engagement. It was in the last 5 mins. Not moving, just excluding. It’s a slippery slope

[terse pelican]

and besides, You can live without his streams for a day or two

[ocean agate]

regular content is 6 days a week (should remain the same)
kick 1 day a week as a bonus to help the ferrets with extra income is what he is doing right now

[pearl wasp]

Why be on a platform that doesn’t have all the features. That’s the point.

[terse pelican]

Why not try it out when the platform clearly has improved over time?

and will continue to improve

[azure glen]

To test it and then give feedback so it can get more features

[pearl wasp]

Because I have ethics and values.

[restive grotto]

He will likely take extra thursdays to do kick only streams. If that's too much for anyone that's perfectly fine. Just keep any hostilities out. It's his decision to do so just as it's anyone's decision to not support.

[terse pelican]

And you're entitled to those, But you can't apply those to other people and force them to only act the way you want.

His ethics, His values, His opinion, Is not yours, Nor is yours his. You can still enjoy the content he does on Twitch/Youtube while he streams there, Don't support the Kick side if you don't want to.

[pearl wasp]

Who’s trying to apply it to anyone? I wondered what the affect will be. I might not be subbing anymore because of my ethics and values. To each their own is what I have been saying all along.

[wintry coyote]

https://tenor.com/view/ace-venture-dylan-uhhh-uh-uhh-gif-26049069

[ocean agate]

choice of wording can have implications of context. "Because I have ethics and values" implies other dont. while this may just be how you worded it an did not intend to imply every one else is wrong. it is easy to feel like that is what was intended

[restive grotto]

Alright guys

Move on

I will start timing people out.

[ocean agate]

ok

[terse pelican]

https://klipy.com/gifs/cat-meme-salute--k01KR1J3KX7MY5SHCQFNVRY3A91

[restive grotto]

Everyone has their own right to support thor or not. You guys shouldn't be getting after each others throats about it.

That goes to BOTH sides.

[silent compass]

^

[pearl wasp]

You said to move on, then post about it after. Umm…

[ocean agate]

de-escalation by a hobgoblin

[pearl wasp]

Anyway, has Thor ever had a set schedule for specific stream activities? Never paid attention but it always seemed to be a whatever stream he feels like that day.

[silent compass]

for the most part this is accurate

[restive grotto]

Pretty much it, yeah

[terse pelican]

Only time it's planned is for Big events, Like Pirate Gamejam and Indiesummer

[silent compass]

unless there is an upcoming game he has planned or event like indiecember, its generally a play by ear type thing

[wintry coyote]

i guess only "scheduled" things are when new games come out.

[ocean agate]

i mean, it used to be more scheduled......

[restive grotto]

Even then he'll change at the last minute.

[silent compass]

its a scheduled nonschedule

[ocean agate]

but there was a lot more things to try to fit in a tight schedule so it needed it

[wintry coyote]

or the feared goblin vote.

[silent compass]

exactly\

the goblins are often the arbiters of his fate

[pearl wasp]

Could schedule stream activities drive engagement, or would that take the Thor out of the stream?

[exotic forge]

I get your point but the road to hell was sport leagues getting into bed with gambling sites. This is just a small bridge.

[brisk sparrow]

if chat dictated: yes
otherwise probably not

[restive grotto]

I don't think he'd be as into it if every stream was scheduled to be something specific every day.

[wicked schooner]

Hobgoblins said to move on

[restive grotto]

I said I'd time people out.

I am timing people out.

[pearl wasp]

Can you time out another hobgoblin?

[ocean agate]

Golemancer can we not be timed out if we keep it civil?

[wicked schooner]

Maybe zafaroth?

[restive grotto]

If you can promise to keep it civil. If it gets out of hand you're not getting another warning.

reading the back log, this community has a weirdly long list of stuff it cant talk about without a mod stepping in

as long as we keep it civil its usually ok to talk about almost anything. the main rule is to be respectful

Twitch Support (@TwitchSupport)

A note on our work to combat viewbotting, from CEO Dan Clancy:

There’s been a lot of discussion recently about viewbotting on Twitch, and I wanted to share an update on our enforcement efforts.

Viewbotting is bad for our business. We don't benefit from it, and we believe it

X · May 7, 2026, 6:28 PM

[azure finch]

So they're capping CCV (Concurrent Viewer) to average viewercount when not viewbotted, if the account has repeated violations of it. The comments are weirdly against this. Dunno how I feel. I only would want them to clarify that viewbotting done as a means of attack will not count against the violation count.

I get why people think that the stress shouldn't be put on the streamer, but this is specifically a policy targeting only the streamers who are in breach of ToS anyways.

[pearl wasp]

Why not increase the pay but limit payment to only for logged in viewers, or reduce viewers not logged in to a small fraction of those that are logged in. Easier to track viewbots, streamers using them, and banning bots. Think of the metrics that could be attained

[tender field]

Went from 1.7K to 2.0K in just one day. Not bad.

The follower stats is locked behind paywall so you've to take my word for it.

That explains your pro stance. Nothing wrong with having one, but now there’s context. Maybe you can help tech support new ppl seeing you’re well versed

No, it was a I wondered why you were so pro and now I know. Seems the ui is very customizable

[rapid scarab]

dont like it, dont watch it

[worthy ivy]

am supposed to be "for" kick?
is just a platform

when I gave rumble a go, loads of people were all "isn't rumble political?" and the answer is no, it's just a platform (some people do stream political stuff on it... and the people that own it have their own poltics, but that's not my concern as an end user)

kick slaps compared to rumble in terms of tech stack, and now I see this "isn't kick all gambling?" and the answer is no, it's just a platform (some people do stream gambling stuff on it... and the people that own it have their own politics vis-a-vis gambling, but that's not my concern as an end user)

we don't have to agree with google's ethos or aims or politics to use youtube, why do we attach politics to other platforms?

seems silly to me
it's a platform
use it or don't
there's nothing to have a "stance" on

[pearl wasp]

Thought it would be quicker here than her googling it. She says it can be done through a browser add on. Dunno if it’s true, but she’s happy so w/e

[jolly sky]

I think there were better ways to handle this. They may have been overthinking the situation but the needling and poking from certain people here certainly didn't help matters. Now they've left the server and took a Subscription with them

All that needed to be said was that Thor was just doing some testing to collect data on what Kick's revenue is from doing a Kick-Only stream, but it seems people took it too far

[tender field]

Wait what! Do people don't read? Took a test stream as "Pirate Software is going Kick exclusive"?

[blissful imp]

that's what it seems scrolling up to see what happened as i was sleeping when it happened

[jolly sky]

There was all the chance that they could have stayed with what was said in the #streams announcement, but it seems some people had to keep needling and poking
