he already did this. i was under the impression that he made it run on the smart fridge, because that's how i heard the story being told.
One example (YouTube) (to be fair, he did show the video after this on stream, but not in the short)
Another example (YouTube)

It absolutely sickens me that he said "we made it run on a smart fridge" in reference to this.

With their current living conditions, euthanasia is preferable to wallowing in Mald's misery.

same goes for the ferrets btw

WE made it run on a smart fridge. But EVERYONE ELSE caused the WoW incident and the Ashes of Creation incident and the Second Life incidents and Eve Online incidents and...

At first I didn't even registered that in this short he boasts that his shitty Undertale clone doesn't need a GPU. You know, the game that looks less graphically impressive than most 16-bit games from 30+ years ago can run on a CPU from 10 years ago. Truly an accomplishment in programming.

Cant sub 200USD APUs run Skyrim SSE at 30+ fps nowadays?

 

[Slav Power]

Out of your entire message, this bit was the most infuriating to me. Just say Wi-Fi, man, don't be a smartass.
(insert the Jimmy Neutron "sodium chloride" meme here)

Not to mention, 802.11ac implies you're using a 5GHz radio only, as dual radio 802.11ac devices will usually only have a 2.4GHz radio using the 802.11n standard. These are old, as 802.11ax works on both 2.4GHz and 5GHz radios, and can aggregate them for even faster transfers. Not only that, 802.11ax introduced the 6GHz radio that brings even faster speeds, and can be aggregated in a triband router to deliver wireless speeds so high you don't even find access points with fast enough wired connections to interface with the rest of the network. And 802.11ax is already becoming old news as 802.11be is slowly but surely entering the market. Obviously no one ever refers to WiFi standards by the IEEE standard, but rather the marketing name. 802.11n is WiFi 4, 802.11ac is WiFi 5, 802.11ax is WiFi 6, and if it includes the new 6GHz radio it's WiFi 6E, and 802.11be is WiFi 7 and the E for the 6GHz band has been dropped. So really, if you're boasting about 802.11ac that means you're running a WiFi spec that's well over a decade old by now and if you really wanted to impress someone you'd get an expensive enterprise access point with WiFi 7 vel 802.11be that offers all three bands at ridiculous speeds that you'll never use as you'll still most likely be connecting with a WiFi 5 vel 802.11ac device, or at best a WiFi 6 vel 802.11ax device, and if both the access point and the client device don't support the same WiFi spec then you won't ever see the speed benefits of yoru expensive access point which is why you always want to verify what WiFi standard your devices are using, whether or not you'll need a newer standard or an extra 6GHz radio and buy something that will fit your personal needs instead of going for the most expensive and greatest hardware you'll be underutilizing 100% of the time.

Anyways what I'm getting at is that you're gonna be delving into all of that shit only when you're designing or diagnosing a network. Everyone, including seasoned networking technicians will just say "WiFi" when referring to that thing that connects you to the Internet without a cable.

The part that bothers me the most about this video is the "It also runs COMPLETELY on the CPU, none of it runs on GPU"
Brother that's not an extra step, that is exactly what code straight out the IDE unoptimized shite code does.

BTW it's always gonna be "But can it run Doom?" not "But can it run 2D-Ray-Traced Hearthbound"

If you don't know what WiFi is, maybe mop duty's too complicated for you. What size are you, small?

 

[cigint]

The part that bothers me the most about this video is the "It also runs COMPLETELY on the CPU, none of it runs on GPU ... 2D-Ray-Traced Hearthbound"

Jason calling a rectangle-shaped alpha-channel shadow a "fully 2D-raytraced custom lighting engine" is merely dumb and obnoxious, whereas his habit of attaching himself to other people's accomplishments is flatly disgusting and a serious regression. I don't disagree with you on the distastefulness, just on the order of severity.

it shouldn't even matter that his shitty game runs at anything above 60fps since it's an rpg so you're not trying to compete for the best scores or whatever unlike first person shooters where the fps does matter if you want to register enemy responses quicker not to mention undertale runs at 30fps and is still perfectly playable

 

[cigint]

...since the sprite animations have a framerate of about 2-6 frames per second.


Also:

We found that by merging both streams chats for the duration of my broadcast it increased the Ferret Streams revenue by a WHOPPING +23%The drawback is that this ONLY happens when we used the merged chat feature which disrupts the ferret stream for the duration of my stream.

It boosts the ferret stream revenue during his broadcast, but also disrupts the ferret stream during his broadcast? What am I missing here?

 

[Roachbound]

I suspect the ferret stream is viewbotted. The main indicator is how slow the chat is, streams with half as many views have far more active chat(source below for other streams). The ferret stream doesn't have any kind of community to be disrupted in the first place


I want to suspect his main stream is viewbotted, but to a much lesser percentage, as his chat isn't dead unlike his ferret stream

I think for ferret stream it makes sense for chat to be mostly dead even if not viewbotted. It's aggressively second screen content by design.

 

[Black Willow Lurker]

Ironically, the ferret stream is probably less (if at all) botted than the Mald one. He always talks about how the ferretschwitz is funded by the Twitch ads, so the "viewers" are probably the bleeding hearts wanting to save ferrets who just keep the stream open.

What I find impressive is Mald's complete and utter ineptitude when it comes to the ferret stream. Single static camera angle that doesn't even cover the whole room? Really? Fucking buy a couple of 10$ webcams and place it somewhere interesting. If you're feeling fancy you might even try to actually engage the audience somehow. Add some interactivity to chat, like changing camera angles or some shit, you're the e-celeb 1337 h4x0r, figure it out.

And just for reference, there's this stream with around 900 viewers and chat moves only marginally faster, probably because there's more to look at.

Yeah, it's not as if the ferret stream actually has someone interacting with the chat on screen. It's for people to glance over and look at ferrets being "cute" or whatever. A different type of stream but equivalent might be a traffic, beach, nature, etc. webcam.

Having a couple of camera angles that the chat can vote to swap between every view minutes, or a PTZ camera that follows chat commands should be easy as shit to implement.

I liked fishtank's PTZ camera setup, and you dont even need to set it up to TTS or donations or whatever.
From watcing fishtank, I believe they use the Axis Q-Series PTZ cameras, way overkill but for someone with the cashflow, you can justify a <$3k camera install.
You can have it scan back and forth, and since he's a 1337 haxor you can even pair it with a sonar radar thing and have it do autotracking.

Agreed, but one affects the other; the biggest viewership spikes in the ferret streams is always Mald's raid after his streams ends.
The weird thing is, it takes about 12 hours every time for the viewer count to dwindle back down to its regular ferret viewership.
That has to be in the longest lasting raids i've seen in forever... or that tells an entire different story about Mald's "viewers".
